Printing Trouble

[Robin Evans]

I just created a new database for keeping track of our membership and donation information and it is working great except for one little things.

When we go to print a record all we get is a blank page with our title label at the top of the page. The main portion of the form is created with the tab control and consists of three tabs(pages). How can I print the first tab(page) of a record and get the information to show up?

Create a report that mimics the first tab of your form, and print it with something like this behind a command button (the Command Button wizard can do most of the work for you):

DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acViewNormal, , "underlyingQueryOrTable.PrimaryKeyField = " & Me.PrimaryKeyField

Forms aren't generally meant to be printed, and you won't be happy with the results even if you do get it working (the fonts change size, as do the placement of fields occasionally).

HTH,
