Printing a form on a tabcontrol
Hi there
My database includes a main form and a tab control which is comprised of forms on each page. I have linked the Master Fields of the main form is Student ID and the StudentID_FK. When I created all the forms, I was able to print a selected record. I have a button that will print a record if I choose a selected record. When I try to print from the tab control, it only prints the main form and not the information on the subform. How do I get it to print the subform infomraiton. Thank you in advance for your help. |

Printing a form on a tabcontrol
forest8,
Sounds like you are trying to directly print the form. While you can do that, it is very limited in scope and functionality, and not meant to be a replacement for a real "report." If your subform can display 10 records within in it's size, how could you print all the sub records if there were 20 records associated? Create a report based on your main form table, with associated subreports based on your subform tables. No matter how many subform records there are, they will all print out in a subreport. -- hth Al Campagna Microsoft Access MVP 2007-2009 http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions/index.html "Find a job that you love... and you'll never work a day in your life."
