?Switchboard screen prints while trying to print an Access 2002 report

[parias]

I created a macro to print a report using a switchboard command button, the report prints followed by a print of the swtichboard screen. I can not seem to find a way to stop it. I recreated the macro, the switchboard and converted the macro to VBA to find the error but can not find it. Below is the script for the macro. Does anyone have a solution?


Option Compare Database

'------------------------------------------------------------
' Print_NHP_List_Print_NHP_List
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
Function Print_NHP_List_Print_NHP_List()
On Error GoTo Print_NHP_List_Print_NHP_List_Err

DoCmd.OpenReport "NHP Report", acViewNormal, "", "", acHidden
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection, , acHigh, 1, True
DoCmd.Close acMacro, "Print NHP List"


Print_NHP_List_Print_NHP_List_Exit:
Exit Function

Print_NHP_List_Print_NHP_List_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume Print_NHP_List_Print_NHP_List_Exit

End Function

I think you're gonna have to get rid of the acHidden. The only way to print a report (to the best of my knowledge) is having it displayed on the screen. The best you can do is:

DoCmd.OpenReport "NHP Report", acViewNormal
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection, , acHigh, 1, True
DoCmd.Close acReport, "NHP Report"
DoCmd.Close acMacro, "Print NHP List"

Thanks for the try but it continues to print the switchboard screen

Do you really need to use the acSelection constant? Try leaving this criteria blank, which will then select the whole report by default.

I've never had this happen, but I suspect that acSelection is selecting the switchboard.

Thanks for the reply. I tried it nut it continues to print the switchboard. I modifed the macro code to and it now looks like the following but it stil prints the report followed by the switchboard.


Print_NHP_List
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
Function Print_NHP_List()
On Error GoTo Print_NHP_List_Err

DoCmd.OpenReport "NHP Report",
DoCmd.PrintOut
DoCmd.Close acMacro, "Print NHP List"


Print_NHP_List_Exit:
Exit Function

Print_NHP_List_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume Print_NHP_List_Exit

End Function
,

Try this:

Function Print_NHP_List()
On Error GoTo Print_NHP_List_Err
    DoCmd.OpenReport "NHP Report",acViewNormal

Print_NHP_List_Exit:
    Exit Function

Print_NHP_List_Err:
    MsgBox Error$
    Resume Print_NHP_List_Exit

End Function

This should print the report directly to the printer without printing the switchboard.

Thanks Lightning,

But as before the switchboard continues to print. The following is the code for the switchboard.



Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

Me.Filter = "[ItemNumber] = 0 AND [Argument] = 'Default' "
