Printing Subreports

Anonymous

Hi, I have created a form in access 2010 called "customer profile" on the form I have 2 reports that I created and dragged  onto the form "Credits" and "Denials"

On my 'customer profile' form I have a search button where when we enter the customer number of a client the information regarding that specific client populates on the (subreports) on the form 'Credits and Denials'.

When we go to print the reports for the specific customer the criteria changes and ALL customers start to print rather than the specific customer we searched for.

How can we fix this, please help

    Here's the thing. I can't visualize a form that would display subreports in a manner that would provide an at a glance profile. However, I can visualize using a form and subforms to do so. I think you need to relook at this.

    Well the whole reason the reports are on the form is so that when investigating a customer all the information is shown on one form right in front of you. After inputting a customer 6 different reports populate giving an array of information and saving time rather than selecting one report to view at a time, and again some reports we may not need to print, viewing and cross referencing information may be sufficient enough. 

    Again in thank you so much for your help I couldn't have done this without you my friend! 

    Cheers

    One other question,if I change the control bound to CustNo do I just delete the 

    Me!Text25=Null?

    I'm not sure why you have to enter it twice. But I'm going to guess here that when you enter the number to search it positions the form at that record then clears the search box. Actually, this is partially our fault. we were concentrating on the OpenReport we didn't look at your search code. I just went back and checked and you have:

    Me!Text25 = Null

    So of course, after you find the record the search box is emptied. So that's why it hasn't worked. 

    So you can get around that by using the Control bound to the CustNo field instead of Text25 (the search box?)

    As to why the subreports show the correct data, its because you have the correct Master/Child links.

    I still think you shouldn't have those subreports on your form. Simply open the report in Print Preview.

    Well I Just solved my problem, with all your help of course!!!!

    I needed to re-enter the customer # into the search box and then click  the button on my report and it finally worked!!!

    Seems a little tedious to have to enter the customer # in twice but if that is what I have to do I am not complaining!!

    Thank you so much for all your help

    Ok my mistake, when I changed it to CustNo to try I forgot to change it back to QNCLI and now it is working!! When I put a customer just that customer shows.

    So the big question is, how can I get this to work on the dbase we have because currently like I said when we put in a customer number all the subreports imbedded on the form populate with the different information we are needing to assess before deciding if we need or want to print the repot!
