Printing a Record from Access

[nvileka]

I am developing a application in MS Access....In that there is a form which shows one record at a time, the fields being shown in different Text boxes.I want to add print functionality so that it prints the desired record...I tried using the following code...But I keep on getting message "Cannot create ActiveX object"...
Doyou have any ideas...

Dim prntObj As New VB.Global
prntObj.Printer.NewPage

thanks

What Version of Access are you using? 2000 brings up the Button wizard when you place a button on it then select the Print command.

The problem is if I use the code generated by wizard, it only prints whatever is visible in the client window..I want to print the contents of each & every field (which corresponds to record)

Just make a report that prints what you want and have the button trigger the report. You can pass variables to the report and filter it so it only shows one record. Email me for details.

Dont know if this will help but I ran a macro and converted it to code and got the following to print all:On Error GoTo

Command6_Enter_Err

DoCmd.PrintOut acPrintAll, , , acHigh, 1, True


Command6_Enter_Exit:
Exit Sub

Command6_Enter_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume Command6_Enter_Exit


Hope it helps

Sorry for the long wait to reply, assuming rs is your recordset or whatever holds it:

rs.Filter="RecordID=" & PassedID

Then you pass the current record ID or any field that is unique and use it as PassedID.
