Select multiple records for printing

[Nhoung Ar]

I am working on small database, which has a number of thousand records in one table. I need to print those (a hundred records or less) a time. I think that i should have one form for input the data, another form for selecting record for printing. In the second form i woulk like to type each UserID and the UserID should store in a list box or any object that i can verify before printing its (in report). How can i do ? please advice me step by step.

Your respond are highly appreciated.

Do you mean type in 100 userID's at a time? This does not seem very user friendly. Have you no other criteria by which to choose which records you want to print?

Yes, it seems that user type each ID at a time in text box. After they click on return key, that ID should store in one object (ie. list box in order to verify) and the text box is blank, then they start type another ID until they get all they wanted. I think that this way is not user friendly, but it will make confusion or mess up when user browses around 5000 records and select 100 records or less . Thank you again.

@Nhoung Ar
The basics of what you want to do are this.

Assuming controls ... command1 (button), List1 (Listbox) and Text1 (Textbox) the code on the button would be as follows:

Private sub command1_Click()
Dim strList as String
 
    strList = Me!List0.RowSource
    Me!List0.RowSource = strList & ";" & Me!Text1.Value
    Me!List0.Requery
 
End Sub
