Our Co. has our INCIDENT REPORT programm set up in Access 97. It is designed to print out reports as apposed to a form to keep for hard copies. On the form we have a button installed that says ("PRINT REPORT") when you click it you get a perimeter vaule box. This is where we are supposed to place our case numbers in. (Our case numbers are linked to the Key or ID field on the form itself). We are putting in the correct case numbers.

Well the problem is that printing works sometimes an doesnt on other times. What I mean is that what we had typed in the fields don't appear on the printed reports sometimes. We have to shut down access and restart it sometimes to get it to print properly. (You shouldn't have to do that right?) Is there a connection with how the form has to be saved or (not?). Like I said this problem only occurs half of the time. This is not just related to one cpu....this program was made and distributed to several site in our organization and they too have experienced this problem from time to time...possible human error? This is all of the information I can give at this time.

Any advised would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If the data that is not printing is what has just been entered then yes something needs to be done to force a save.

On the Click event of the Print button I generally force a save with the following code.

Docmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

A short term solution if you cannot get the code in place would be to enter the data and goto another record or close the data entry form. You also (if avalible) can use the Save Record menu command.
