data type error 3464 - print record

I have a form that i added the following code to a button. It allowed me to
print a Report, but only for the one record showing in the form on the click
event:

DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReport", acPreview
Reports![YourReport].Filter = "YourPrimaryKey = " & Me![YourPrimaryKeyControl]
Reports![YourReport].FilterOn = True

It was working perfectly, but a query that i'm running now required me to
change my primary key in my table to Text instead of Number. My form still
updates information properly, but the print button gives me the data type
missmatch error 3464.

Which portion needs updated? Form, report, code? Other?
 
You need extra quote marks in the WhereCondition string if it is a text
field:

Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "YourPrimaryKey = """ & Me![YourPrimaryKeyControl] & """
DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReport", acPreview, , strWhere

If the quotes don't make sense, see:
Quotation marks within quotes

Note that using the WhereCondition of OpenReport will be more efficient than
opening the entire thing, and then applying a filter.

Also, I've suggested using a string, to make it easier to debug, e.g.:
Debug.Print strWhere

I used your updated code, and it worked perfectly. I tried to modify what i
had already, but i think i need to read your article on quotes first.

Thank you very much for solving this problem for me.
