Using loops to print records from Command Button

I need to allow a user to select a date range and print records from a table by pressing a command button.

I am having a problem with the code.  Here is a sample of the direction I am going.  I am just trying to get the logic to work, so I don't have the print coding in yet.  I am struggling with how to print a range of records based on criteria provided by the user.

Private Sub cmdPrintReportPages_Click()

Dim inFieldjobPMP As Integer
Dim dtDateDataCollected As Date
Dim db As Database
Dim rstAssetCondition As Recordset

inFieldjobPMP = DLookup("FieldjobPMP", "tblAssetCondition")
dtDateDataCollected = DLookup("DateDataCollected", "tblAssetCondition")

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rstAssetCondition = db.OpenRecordset("tblAssetCondition")


If Me!PrintFieldJobPMP = 1 Then
   
        Do Until rstAssetCondition.EOF
   
If inFieldjobPMP = 1 And dtDateDataCollected >= Me!PrintPagesBeginDate _  And dtDateDataCollected <= Me!PrintPagesEndDate Then

            Do Until rstAssetCondition.EOF

            DoCmd.Beep ' just using Beep to check logic
           
            rstAssetCondition.MoveNext
            Else
         'Exit Do  
            End If
           
        Exit Do
       
    Loop
   
   
Else

End If

End Sub


Are there any standard conventions for accomplishing this goal?

I am really struggling with using a loop or what.  I can seem to get DO Until or Do While to work.  Any code with working loops would be greatly appreciated.

How about the OpenReport method?

For example,

Private Sub Command16_Click()
    DoCmd.OpenReport "Inspection Report by Week", acViewPreview, , "[Date] >= #" & [FormStartDate] & "# And [Date] <= #" & [FormFinishDate] & "#"

End Sub

This code is part of a command button.  FormStartDate and FormEndDate are fields on the form that the user fills in.

I am using the latter of your suggestions.  I get a Too Few Parameters error on the Set Recordset command.

Please take a look at my code(really your code) and see if you find any errors.  It appears to be getting the stSQL correct.  I can look in debug and see that it evaluates it correctly.

I says that rstAssetCondition = Nothing when I place my cursor over the text in Debug mode.

Dim dtPrintPagesBeginDate As Date
Dim dtPrintPagesEndDate As Date
Dim dtDateDataCollected As Date
Dim db As Database
Dim rstAssetCondition As Recordset
Dim stSQL As String


inFieldjobPMP = DLookup("FieldjobPMP", "tblAssetCondition")

dtPrintPagesBeginDate = DLookup("PrintPagesBeginDate", "tblMainReport")
dtPrintPagesEndDate = DLookup("PrintPagesEndDate", "tblMainReport")



DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Set db = CurrentDb()


If Me!PrintFieldJobPMP = 1 Then
   
   stSQL = "Select * from qryConditionReport where FieldjobPMP = 1 and DateDataCollected Between #" & dtPrintPagesBeginDate & "# and #" & dtPrintPagesEndDate & "#;"
   
   Set rstAssetCondition = db.OpenRecordset(stSQL)<<Problem here
   rstAssetCondition.MoveFirst 'this causes error 3201 if no records
   Do Until rstAssetCondition.EOF
   DoCmd.Beep
   rstAssetCondition.MoveNext
   Loop
   
   
Else

End If
   
   
 
1. Make sure that you can open qryConditionReport properly. (Just click Open button from Database window)
2. Make sure that you take care dtPrintPageBeginDate and dtPrintPageEndDate in case of value is null.
