OutputTo acreport crashes access when filtered

94 New Member
I need to only print one page of a report, not the whole thing, but do so automatically. Annoyingly, I can't seem to get it to work!

This:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptmouldcurrent", acFormatPDF, "C:\Temp\Test.pdf", False
  2.  
works ok, but prints out all reports, not just the one I want.

So, I tired this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DoCmd.OpenReport "rptmouldcurrent", acViewPreview, , "[Mouldref]='" & Me.CboxMould & "'", acWindowNormal
  2.  
  3. DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptmouldcurrent", acFormatPDF, "C:\Temp\Test.pdf", False
  4.  
  5. DoCmd.Close acReport, "rptmouldcurrent"
  6.  
But this causes Access to crash catastrophicall y.
Any ideas why its happy to deal with lots of reports, but just one flummoxes it?

at which line is it crashing?
place a STOP command at the begining of the procedure, once the code enters debug mode, [F8] to step thru the code till error.

>>Edit>> Also move your Where String out of the function and build it first. This way we can troubleshoot it.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim strSQL As String
  2. strSQL = "[Mouldref]='" & Me.CboxMould & "'"
  3. DoCmd.OpenReport ReportName:="rptmouldcurrent", View:=acViewPreview, WhereCondition:=strSQL, WindowMode:=acWindowNormal
  4.  
I don't think you'll need the "[]"

I'm not sure at which point the code crashes, it doesn't enter debug mode, Access stops working, and needs to be shutdown.

It would be much simpler to sort if it crashed normally!

that's fine

please do as I suggested with the stop command, this forces debug mode at that point.

I cannot help you, nor can anyone else, if you ignore our requests.

Hi- I have a relatively simple report that I open in an Access '97 VBA procedure, using the Docmd.OpenReport "rptName", acViewNormal syntax. The problem is that doing this usually crashes Access! No error message is given, the thing just vanishes! Why? How do I fix this?

Trying to save a daily scheduled query result to an Excel file on the server. Runs fine the first time, or when file is deleted, however, it stops waiting for input to say "Yes" to overwrite it, once it exists. How do I get around this (as the file needs to exist for remote access almost 24/7 via an e-mail file-fetch program, but not be e-mailed to people daily - only when they want to see it)? Thanks Dman

I have a function in Access 2007 that runs the following code: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rpt-TOC Summary", "Rich Text Format (*.rtf)", "C:\TOC\Working\PRE-X08-0295.doc", False When I run this code in an mdb file, it executes with no problems. When I execute the same function when compiled in an mde file, I get Error Number "438" (Object doesn't support this property or method).

Hi, I have an application that I recently revised. It transfers data between 2 programs, including files as well as small data chunks. I never had a problem (got garbage at the other side) or anything like that, but I am curious whether I need to lock the socket access when i am sending. An oversimplified example of a single send would be like: bool sendData(SOCKET sock, uint32_t size, const char * data) { uint32_t nSizeNetOrder =...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
