Solved: print current record

[lucas]

when I set up a button to print the current record, it prints the form also. If I set up a report, It shows me all of the records. How can I print just the current record without the form?:dunno

Create a report with the fields you require. Create a query with the fields that will appear in the report. In the criteria for chosen field enter a parameter e.g.[Enter a date]

Hey Tanis,
Thanks for the help.
I have the report and the query. In the criteria for the query it now asks for the name.(when I run the query)

[Enter RecipeName]

hope I am following you on this. The problem is it just brings up the table with only the record I typed in the box. I have been reading and I thought this should be easy but.....could use another lead if you see something I am doing wrong.

Hi Lucas,

I remembered seeing an answer to this on another web site and I just found it. This site seems to be a pretty nice one too and they are very open to us using they're code. This is the link to the page where the code is.

Hi

Use the Where argument of the Docmd.OpenReport method to filter your report...something like this

Docmd.OpenReport "MyReportName", acNormal , , "RecipeID = " & Me.RecipeID

This assumes that you have the RecipeID available as a reference on the form you're clicking the command button and that it's a numeric data type. You don't need any criteria in the query your report is based on, just the fields you want shown on the printed report.

Thanks GaryB & AlanG,
Gary, your link was to a piece of button code that works great, even gives a preview first if you want, or set it to print.

AlanG, your piece of button code works great too. It just prints it out.

I learned a lot on this little excursion. appreciate the insights.
