Report with a command button

[Stephm]

Hi. I have a (first) report that pulls everyone that has
a birthday in a certain month. Then I created a (second)
report based on the same query to run mailing labels.

Can I streamline by having the first report have a
command button (or something) to run the mailing labels,
which would print labels only those people who were
identified in the first report? Or is that too much to
hope for? If not, how would I do it?

Thanks for the insight!

You can't put a button on a report! Put the following code in the Close
event of the first report:
Dim MsgStr As String
Dim TitleStr As String
MsgStr = "Do you want to print labels for the birthday people?"
TitleStr = "Print Labels??"
If MsgBox(MsgStr,vbYesNo,TitleStr) = vbYes Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "NameOfReport2"
End If

Excellent! Thank you. Question: When I run both of the
reports (birthdays and then labels), I'm using a form
with an unbound combo box for the month. For example, if
the user selects "January" the birthdays report runs with
the January birthdays. Same idea for the labels.

So now that my reports are "linked", I am still requiring
the user to select "January" for the birthday report and
then "January" for the labels. Is there a way to
streamline this too? If I can't pass "January" through
to the labels or make the user select "January" for the
labels, ALL birthdays would print. Thanks for the help-
I really appreciate it! Steph
