Can Preview but NOT Print

S

Scott Duncan

Hello,

I have a Report/Subreport that is Based upon a Query that I can Preview [and
see the data] but it the Subreport simply prints the place holder for the
Subreport but not the Data...

My Query for the Main Report is based upon [Screen].[ActiveForm]![Contract
Number]
where as the Subreport is based upon the Link Master/Child Fields of
[Contract Number].

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

SD

Are you printing from within the Preview or are you previewing as a test but
printing through code without previewing first?

If it previews properly but doesn't print, then you probably have the report
designed correctly. Check your printer's settings. Make sure that it is NOT
set for Draft, Ink Saving, or other such reduced quality printing. In order
to print this way, some drivers will leave out items, such as pictures, to
preserve ink. I don't know if this would also have an effect on a subreport.
Normal or better printing quality should work fine.
