Maybe I'm missing something or perhaps there's another way to do this. I'm trying to allow the user to preview and print an invoice as they are exiting from the New Sale form. However, the preview opens but closes after a second. Can anyone give me a clue?
Thanks
Code: - If MsgBox("Do You Want To Create An Invoice?", vbDefaultButton1 + vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
-
Dim stDocName As String
-
stDocName = "rpt_Invoice"
-
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview
-
Else
-
End If
-
-
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_New_Sale", acSaveNo

If the report depends on data that you've just entered in your record, my guess would be because the report has no data. If this is the case, you need to save the record before opening the report: - If MsgBox("Do You Want To Create An Invoice?", vbDefaultButton1 + vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
-
Dim stDocName As String
-
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = True
-
stDocName = "rpt_Invoice"
-
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview
-
Else
-
End If
-
-
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_New_Sale", acSaveNo

If I change the DoCmd.OpenRepor t to acViewNormal it prints with data. If I modify the close form code so that it errors out, the report stays up with the data.

maybe something in the forms on close event is causing this. Why not set your break points and follow the code through it's execution to see what's hapening.

It could be as Linq says. It may have to do with no data be generated. In preview mode the events of the report's sections do not activate. Preview mode will not give the same results as print mode if the data is based on events of the report sections. Could this have something to do with it?

Linq,
What did you intend your line #3 to do?

Question about DoCmd.PrintOut in A97.
I have a form on which all the controls are unbound. There is a large

Problem is, DoCmd.PrintOut only produces a blank page. (Actually once in

In another app I am working on, PrintOut successfully prints the...

Greetings,
I originally used a button on a from created via the button wizard (access 2007) to run my report which was based on a query.
Since I wanted to add some validation I removed the button and added my own
code (as below):-
However the open report is just a preview and the user cant exit the preview
screen without directly using access controls.
