How do i email an individual report from a form?

I've tried this like 20 times today to no avail. I keep getting all my
purchase orders in the pdf format instead of just the one record. Everything
else works as far as opening up Outlook and attaching the pdf file, but
selecting just the last record I was working on in a form isn't cutting it. I
see a lot of the VB command lines in other areas of this forum, but I'm not
that savvy to writing code. Any ideas on what's up? Using Access 2007. Thanks!

Hi

You could also try this

Create an "open form" macro and insert it before the "send object"
macro.

Report name is your reports name which should be in the list .
View is. Print preview.
Leave the. filter. blank.
Where condition is,
[your field name]=[Forms]![Your form name]![your field name]

Put this macro into the on click part of your command button it should
then open the report for the record on display generating the
attachment to email all you need to do then is type in the reciepient.

I am using access 2000 and it works perfectly.
Please reply to this news group if you have any joy

Good luck
Mike

Mark,

How do you print the report? Button on a form?
