Print Current record

[Guest]

I currently have a form that has a button that will driect the user to a
report. The report is linked to a query that looks for the case number. The
user has to put the case number of the current form to print the record.
Instead of [please enter case number] in the query is there a code to print
the current record in the case number field in the query?

Thanks

Button to print specific record
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()

Dim strWhere As String

If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits.

Me.Dirty = False

End If

If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record to print

MsgBox "Select a record to print"

Else

strWhere = "[ID] = " & Me.[ID]

DoCmd.OpenReport "MyReport", acViewPreview, , strWhere

End If

End Sub



Notes: If your primary key is a Text type field (not a Number type field), you need extra quotes: strWhere = "[ID] = """ & Me.[ID] & """"

If you want the report to print without preview, replace acViewPreview with acViewNormal.

One option is to set the filter in the query to the field in the form

Select * From TableName Where FieldName = Forms![FormName]![FieldName]

If the field located in a sub form, then try
Select * From TableName Where FieldName =
Forms![FormName]![SubFormControlName].Form![FieldName]

The second option, see this link on "Printing the Record on the Microsoft
Access Form to a Report"
