Comand Buttions: Print Report options

I have a form inappropriately (I will change it) named: tbl_ComputerName1, I have a command button on it called: Print Microsoft Report, I want this button to print just the record that is on the page being viewed at present but it tries to print all the records. I also want to put another command button that will also print all the other records associated just with the one record (the other pages: tbl_ComputerName2, 3 ect.) being viewed from this page. I know this is a coding issue but I dont know how to start on this project

Can you show me the Query that your report is based on? You should be able to base your report on a query that pulls only the record shown on your form (assuming you have a primary key on your form somewhere).

Here is the code of my command button, how would you change to code to see an ID value? I do have PK with the tables.

Private Sub CommandMicrosoftSoftware_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_CommandMicrosoftSoftware_Click
 
    Dim stDocName As String
 
    stDocName = "rpt_MS_Software"
    DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
 
Exit_CommandMicrosoftSoftware_Click:
    Exit Sub
 
Err_CommandMicrosoftSoftware_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_CommandMicrosoftSoftware_Click
    
End Sub

SamuelClemmons,

Like I said, let's get the Report/Form Record synchronization working *first*, before anything else.

So, please apply jimhorn suggestion and get the crorrect data in the report working *first*.

Bedsides, with the correct record displayed on the report, I don't really see a need to "see an ID value"

Jim you got me started with the code sample on the ID. I solved the rest of it over the weekend
