Form with Custom report

[micropc]

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to create a a form that requires client
information and then once that information is complete, I would like to then
create a "report" with some prefilled information and then once I click a
button on the form the information will be inserted where I specify on the
report for printing. I also want to ensure that creating this report won't
impede my information in the form from going into my table so that I can
later generate a client report based on all of the information I have entered
i to the form. Can any one help??

Thank you!
C-

Hello,

client

Yes

Okay, that can be done...

and then once I click a
button on the form the information will be inserted where I specify on the
report for printing.

Since you will be creating the report you can specifiy where and how you
want the information displayed.

I also want to ensure that creating this report won't
impede my information in the form from going into my table

Once entered in your form it is actually going straight to the table so that
shouldn't be a problem...

so that I can
later generate a client report based on all of the information I have
entered
i to the form.

See above about reports...

Can any one help??

What is it you want help with? Tables, forms or reports? What have you
done so far?

Hello, Hi!

report for printing. Yes.

The data would (should) already be in the table by the time your
report runs, because the report draws its data from the table (NOT
from the form).
e.g.:
Me.Dirty = False 'Save the current record
DoCmd.OpenReport "myReport",acViewPreview,,"myPrimaryKey=" &
Me.myPrimaryKeyControl
(of course you replace myObjectNames with yours)

so that I can
later generate a client report based on all of the information I have entered
i to the form. Can any one help??

Thank you!
