Print SCRN

[Nro]

Hi

Is it possible to simulate Print SCRN and send the image of the current form to a printer ?. I don't want the user to use the Print Scrn key. I want a button to do that. Is it possible ?

Thanks in advance.

You may try either:
DoCmd.RunCommand.acCmdPrint
or:
DoCmd.RunCommand.acCmdQuickPrint

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks PH.

But it's not exactly what I want. These command print the form as a report. What I want to do is to print the 'Image' of the user screen.

Depending on what else you have on screen at the moment, here's the general idea for what you specifically want to do:

1) Select the record that's being displayed on the form
2) Print the form, using the PrintOut action, which has a 'Form' modifier.

I think I've used the FILTER method to select the current record, then print the form, then remove the filter. It's been a while, but I think that's what you should probably check out....
