Printing a single record from a form based on a report's layout

[LATorders]

Dear Friends?

I feel plain stupid but I can't figure out to get my form to print a
single record that is based off of my report. I am using Access
2003. Needless to say, I'm up against a deadline here and beyond
frustrated. My table is called Advance2. My Form is called Onsite
Form and my Report is called rptPrintRecord. Can you help?

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 " rptPrintRecord", acViewPreview, , "[RecordID] = " &
[RecordID]

The above assumes a [RecordID] field that is a Number Datatype.

If, however, [RecordID] is Text Datatype, then use:

DoCmd.OpenReport " rptPrintRecord", 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.
