Default Printing a single record from a tab control subform

You can use a value from any field in your report's record source. Use a zip
code or city if you like. Keep in mind your report will include all records
that match. It's like going to a car dealer to buy a car. You can ask for
cars where the color equals red or you can ask for a car where the gas
mileage is better than 25 mpg. If you have visited before and bought a car,
you can ask for the car that matches your VIN number.

The primary keys are Autonumbers.

The Master and child fields are text. Is it possible to use the
non-primary
keys as the basis of the "Where" statement?

Thanks

Learn the basics of trouble-shooting. Try add a msgbox, debug.Print, or
breakpoint to your code so you know if the code is being run:
Also, always provide the significant data types. Is ID_General text or
numeric?

Private Sub Print_Click()

Dim strDocName As String
Dim strWhere As String
strDocName = "R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo"
strWhere = "[ID_General] = " & Me.[ID_General]
debug.print "strWhe " & strWhere
MsgBox "strWhe " & strWhere
DoCmd.OpenReport "R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo", acPreview, , strWhere

End Sub

Hi

This is the code for the print function as an Event procedure. I'm not
sure
what I'm missing.

Private Sub Print_Click()

Dim strDocName As String
Dim strWhere As String
strDocName = "R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo"
strWhere = "[ID_General] = " & Me.[ID_General]
DoCmd.OpenReport "R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo", acPreview, , strWhere

End Sub

The name of the report is R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo
The primary key of the subform is "ID_General"

The main form is called GPS. One of the subforms in the tabcontrol is
called
General.

I saved the GPS form and General form as reports (by using save as).
Then
I
created the report by using the GPS form as the report and the General
form
as the subreport. The Masterlink is GPSID and the ChildLinkID is
GPSID_FK.

The form doesn't have the primary key in it. It's just in the Table
called
T_General.

I should also mention that the Print button with the Click event is on
the
subform in the tabcontrol.

If I can get this one report to work, I can use the same logic and fix
all
the other reports in my database.

Thank you.

Did you use the wizard? What is the code?

Hi

I have created a Case Management Database of students. It consists
of a
main
form
and a subform. The main form consists of information that must be
seen
at
all times. since it consists of information about each student.

The subform consists of a tab control. There is a different subject
on
each
page of the tab contol, e.g. General Information, Current Student
Information, etc.

I need to print out the mainform and subforms so I created reports
for
each
subform in my tab control.

I want to put a "Print" button on each page of my tabcontrol so that
when
clicked, that specific report for that particular record is printed?

The thing is that my "Print" button does not work. That is, when I
click
on
it, nothing happens.

How do I fix it so that it prints that report for that particular
record?

Thank you for your help in advance.
