Print form - Current record

You would have to Filter the form to the desired record first.  You can easily do that with the built in Right Click menus ...  in this case, Filter By Selection >> Print >> Right click and Remove Filter/Sort.

is there a way to put that in code behind a button

in this particular case it is already filtered because i am trying to print a subform, which contains all the records associated with the main form, but when i hit print it prints all the records in the subform for all the records in the main form, i need to print current form view with current record information

OK ... forget this line:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRemoveFilterSort   ' that will cause an error.

mx

No they did not work
thanks

If you are already on just one record ... this should work:

Private Sub btnPrint_Click()
   
    'Me.Filter = "[ID] = " & Me![ID]
    'Me.FilterOn = True
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrintPreview

End Sub


it does for me.

what exactly is happening ?

when running it is taking me to code that i ahve in the main form On_resize event

not following ?

titorober23,

1. The forms are not really meant to be printed, because of their graphical nature.

2. <print out the active form, current record, without using reports>
What is the reason why a report is unacceptable?
It is a faily common practice to print out a report synchronized to the selected (current) Form record.

3. How are you wanting to print the current record?

In other words, you need to be specific.
Please post a screenshot of your form.
Then post an example of the *exact* "printout" you are expecting.

Thanks.

weel i was thinking it was easier and faster just to print current record view, instead of creating a report and try to replicate the form design

Then I see no reason why the snippet MX posted wouldn't work for you:
    DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection

Can you clearly define what you mean by "they did not work"?
error message?
Crash?
Wrong Printout?
...ect

That code works fine for me...

Well they were sending to the printer all the records, it actually did the same thing that my original macro

I am trying to print out the currrent subform

i guess what happens is the form that i am trying to print is a subform of another subform, where the main form is a switchboard that contains and loads different forms, when it tries to print, it activate the On_Resize event of the main switchboard form

"the form that i am trying to print is a subform of another subform,"

Ahh so ... well, ok ... that ... is going to be more complicated for sure. Whereas I do have cases where a form can be printed for convenience ...  forms with subforms are another matter.  As Jeff suggested ... maybe you should consider creating a report in this case.  Believe me ... wherein you *can* print forms (and I do it) ... there are many anomalies for sure.

mx

yes i already design a report for it

thanks a lot

mbizup.

FWIW,

MX did give this his all by trying to give the asker exactly what they were after, (Printing from the form) by posting no less than 3 distict alternatives.

(Even I would not have gone that far)
;-)

I have no issue with MX being awarded all the points.
Suggesting a report is something MX would have eventually suggested on his own anyway.
;-)

I will be fine with whatever you decide.
