Printing a single record from a tab control subform

[forest8]

Hi

I have created a Case Management Database of students. It consists of a main
form
and a subform. The main form consists of information that must be seen at
all times. since it consists of information about each student.

The subform consists of a tab control. There is a different subject on each
page of the tab contol, e.g. General Information, Current Student
Information, etc.

I need to print out the mainform and subforms so I created reports for each
subform in my tab control.

I want to put a "Print" button on each page of my tabcontrol so that when
clicked, that specific report for that particular record is printed?

The thing is that my "Print" button does not work. That is, when I click on
it, nothing happens.

How do I fix it so that it prints that report for that particular record?

Thank you for your help in advance.

What makes you think your "Print" button should work? How did you create it?
Did you use the wizard? What is the code?

Hi

This is the code for the print function as an Event procedure. I'm not sure
what I'm missing.

Private Sub Print_Click()

Dim strDocName As String
Dim strWhere As String
strDocName = "R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo"
strWhere = "[ID_General] = " & Me.[ID_General]
DoCmd.OpenReport "R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo", acPreview, , strWhere

End Sub

The name of the report is R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo
The primary key of the subform is "ID_General"

The main form is called GPS. One of the subforms in the tabcontrol is called
General.

I saved the GPS form and General form as reports (by using save as). Then I
created the report by using the GPS form as the report and the General form
as the subreport. The Masterlink is GPSID and the ChildLinkID is GPSID_FK.

The form doesn't have the primary key in it. It's just in the Table called
T_General.

I should also mention that the Print button with the Click event is on the
subform in the tabcontrol.

If I can get this one report to work, I can use the same logic and fix all
the other reports in my database.

Thank you.

Learn the basics of trouble-shooting. Try add a msgbox, debug.Print, or
breakpoint to your code so you know if the code is being run:
Also, always provide the significant data types. Is ID_General text or
numeric?

Private Sub Print_Click()

Dim strDocName As String
Dim strWhere As String
strDocName = "R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo"
strWhere = "[ID_General] = " & Me.[ID_General]
debug.print "strWhere: " & strWhere
MsgBox "strWhere: " & strWhere
DoCmd.OpenReport "R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo", acPreview, , strWhere

End Sub

You can use a value from any field in your report's record source. Use a zip
code or city if you like. Keep in mind your report will include all records
that match. It's like going to a car dealer to buy a car. You can ask for
cars where the color equals red or you can ask for a car where the gas
mileage is better than 25 mpg. If you have visited before and bought a car,
you can ask for the car that matches your VIN number.

Hi there

I'm having another issue with this. As I mentioned earlier, my report is
based on a report and subreport.

When I see my report for a single record, it's only showing the report
portion of my document. I don't see the subreport.

Also, I'm getting an "Enter Parameter Value" error wbere I'm asked to enter
a value for the ID_General field. I've checked my tables and forms and the
fields I am using are the same as in my macro.

Thank you again.

If I don't try to print a single record, I could see the report/subreport.
When I try to isolate a single record, the report section only prints.

[Duane Hookom]

If you want to print the report for a single student then why do you use:
strWhere = "[ID_General] = " & Me.[ID_General]
rather than
strWhere = "[Students_ID] = " & Me.[Students_ID]

I assume Students_ID is a numeric field that identifies the exact record you
want to use to filter the report.

The name of the report is R1-1 GPS_GeneralInfo
The primary key of the subform is "ID_General"

The main form is called GPS. One of the subforms in the
tabcontrol
is
called
General.

I saved the GPS form and General form as reports (by using save
as).
Then
I
created the report by using the GPS form as the report and the
General
form
as the subreport. The Masterlink is GPSID and the ChildLinkID is

The form doesn't have the primary key in it. It's just in the

I should also mention that the Print button with the Click event

If I can get this one report to work, I can use the same logic

all
the other reports in my database.
