Insert OMR marks into Microsoft Access Report
Does anyone know if it's possible to add OMR marks in access when the Report can produce variable page groups? If so, any examples?
Scott McDaniel (EE MVE )
And "OMR marks" would be what? Please remember that you're talking to bunch of database developers, not someone intimately familiar with your industry. I'd assume that you're talking about some sort of Optical Mark Recognition, but it's impossible to say based on your question.

Correct. Looking to put in Optical Mark Recognition for feeding the resulting reports through an autostuffer.
Are these some sort of font or "barcode"? In other words, is there anything special about them or are they just lines/crosses etc?
Access can certainly insert those items into a report, but positioning them can be troublesome since different sections of the report can grow and shrink as needed, and Access will move things around based on that. Often it's better to have them printed to the page before you print your report, but that would mean you'd have to handle the paper twice.

They are lines that show up on the side of the page. It would be fine for them to always show up in the footer, but the number of lines differ based on the page of the report. I.E. if the report is 2 pages long there would be a different number of lines on page 1 than on page 2. Also if the report is only 1 page then the number of lines is different on page 1 than if the report were a multipage report.
