Thread: Selecting and Printing Specific Records

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by HankL[_2_]
Access 2003 Is there a way that I can select specific records from a database to print out specific columns for those records? As an example, I have a database of restaurants. I want to select certain restaurants in that database to print out on a sheet of paper for a friend. Thank you in advance for your support and suggestions, HankL

HankL, Many ways to do that... If there's no "logical" restaurant selection for printing (ex. by district, or by city, etc...) think about adding a PrintMe checkbox field to your restaurant table. Set any restaurant record you want printed to chkPrintMe = True, and have the reports query use chkPrintMe = True as a criteria to filter the report. Or use the OpenReport ...

Hello Al, Thank you very much for your reply. I just want you to know, that I am a novice at using Access. I am sorry but I cannot follow your suggestion in setting up my Restaurant database to include PrintMe.. Your suggestion is an excellent idea and probably is exactly what I need to be able to select certain restaurants to include on a list to print specific fields.. 'I went ...

Hank, Sounds like you added a Boolean field named PrintMe (True/False) to your Restaurant table. Now, this checking/unchecking of PrintMe is best done using a continous form, so you can see as many Restaurants as possible, as you browse and check PrintMe. You can do Single Form, but you'll have to... Find Record and check... find record and check... etc which can be a ...

Hi Al, Before I can continue with your suggestion, I ran into a problem when I attempted to do a Detect and Repair in Office 2003 I keep getting the following message: ERROR 1919 configuring ODBC Data Source MS Access Database ODBC error 6 component not found in registry I went to Microsoft site and found several solutions. I ran MDAC 2.8 and that did not work. ...

Hi Al, Actually I added a new field called PRINTME next to the name of the restaurant in the table format. In Design View of my table, the data type is YES/NO. I attempted to put a check mark next to several restaurants and it accepts the check mark. I am a little confused by several suggestions you made. 1) Now, this checking/unchecking of PrintMe is best done using a ...

Good Morning Al, I hope I did not screw up the Command Button. Yesterday, when I could not get it to work, I deleted it and put in a new command button. I was not aware that each time you put one in it gives it a new number such as Command 44 or Command 46. When I opened up properties of Reset Print in form view I see the following: Heading of the properties form is Command Button:Command46. However I renamed the Command Button to 'Reset...

Hi John, I attempted to rearrange the controls in Design View of the Form. That did not change the appearance of the form. However, I now have a scroll bar on the side of the form and allows me to scroll from one record to another in alphabetical order. Could this also be considered as a Continuous Form? If so, could you help me with the instructions as to how to setup a PRINTME check box on the form so that I can select which record will be...
