I have a form where the user inputs data. I would like to print the one
record with the form. I click on the left side button but when I do a print
preview it lists all the records in the form. So I will the first one, then
another form and another.
etc
Forms are not designed for printing.
First create a report that displays all of the data you want to show.
Then....
Your table should have a unique prime key field.
In my example it is named [RecordID].
On the command button's property sheet write
[Event Procedure]
on the Click event line.
Then click on the little button with 3 dots that will appear on that
line.
When the code window opens, the cursor will be flashing between 2
already existing lines of code.
Between those 2 lines write:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acViewPreview , , "[RecordID] = " &
[RecordID]
The above assumes a [RecordID] field that is a Number Datatype.
If, however, [RecordID] is Text Datatype, then use:
DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acViewPreview, ,"[RecordID] = '" &
[RecordID] & "'"
as the Where clause.
For clarity, the single and double quotes are..
"[RecordID] = ' " & [RecordID] & " ' "
Change [RecordID] to whatever the actual field name is that you are
using.

Where Clause + Restrict data to a subset of records
