Report events not being triggered
Question by: Pelegrinus On 2012-08-07 01:24 PM https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27820593/Opening-an-Access-Report-in-acViewNormal-Doesn't-Trigger-Report-Events.html
I hope this is enough information to let you know the question I am responding to. What I stumbled on is that if a global variable is used within the on open procedure the code will execute even when a report is printed. In a module I placed the following code:
global gbdone as boolean
then inside the on open procedure I placed the the following code, along with the other code I wanted to execute:
gbdone = false
and every thing executes
Thanks for making all this information available to us. (Microsoft sure is not much help most of the time.)

It's not that the Report_Open code doesn't function at all, but breakpoints definitely don't work, and attempts to set .Caption fail -- and since .Caption is the name given to the job in the print queue, and the default name given to the PDF file -- being able to set .Caption successfully is pretty damn important!
I have done that by opening with DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview and, with the Report open, then printing it out -- but it is more time-consuming than a straight DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal to do it that way.
Interesting!
