Printing Single Record with multiple Subforms

Zones: Access Reports, Microsoft Access Database, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: access, print, subform, record

OK, searched all over for this one, with no luck, hoping some experts can help me. Setup a main form with 2 subforms, where if certain criteria was met one subform shows up, otherwise the other shows up over it. One is hidden at all times. Works great, and that was found here:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS_Access/Access_Forms/Q_22946130.html

The code used inside of the form is:
Sub SetFormCo2Visibility()
Select Case Me.Mach
Case 480, 802
Me.subformCO2.Visible = True
Me.subformYAG.Visible = False
Case Else
Me.subformYAG.Visible = True
Me.subformCO2.Visible = False
End Select
End Sub
and this was called on the On Click Event. My problem is this. When I print this, as I suspected, the current record in the main form prints, but only after the records inside of the subform print before it, looking like this, e.g.

Subform Record 1
Subform Record 2
Subform Record 3, etc...

Main Form Record 1

My question is this. Is it possible, either through a AutoKeys function to print the form, or through printing the form in a report format, to duplicate this for printing purposes?

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your help, Boag2000, well done!

Glad I could help.

As you may have noticed, you will have to add/remove certain Main form fields to make it look the way you want.

Again, you can see by the code that is is very straightforward to add more controls to the subform and have them display the data you want.

(Remember, YAG for Metals, CO2 for Plastics and Wood!)
(I did some research!)
