Can't Print My Form

[pcca]

I created a form for data entry that I'd like to print out so it can be completed by hand if necessary. When I print it, the only thing that prints is today's date. I added a "print" button to the form but same thing happens.

Forms are not made for printing. Reports are. Create a report that looks like the form and print it when you want to print.

Can't print form

I tried doing a report but there are many fields and it loses its formatting. I was able to create and print a form once before (last year) and can't remember how I did it

You can simply go to "File" then "Print" it will print the form on your screen.... But as Bob said... forms are not meant to be printed. Make a report out of the same query your form is from... MUCH more professional look.

Can't print form

The form isn't from a query. Its just a form to be used to enter data. The form was created from a table. When I print the form by doing file - print, the only thing that prints is the date - same thing if I put a print button on the form. There is no data yet in the form (as I've just created the table and form, haven't done the queries yet, etc so it isn't being used yet) but the fields on the form should print (they did last year). I'm baffled. My agency still uses hard copy records so the forms need to be printed out to go into those records.

Well if your just looking to make a hard copy of whats on the screen... use "Ctrl" + "Print Screen" then paste it into paint....Word...whatever... to crop and print.
