Not sure how to word this as I am somewhat new to Access 2007. What I am trying to do is the user fills out a form, when he hits the "save record" button I want it to save the record and print a report based on the information that was just entered. It is actually going to print a 4x6 label to use on a container. That label will contain the info that the user just filled out on the form so I need to format the report to fit on the label. Does that make sense? I know I can create a report after the fact, but I need to do it this way. I know the answer is out on google, but correctly searching is hard since I am not sure how to ask it. Thanks for any help you can give me.

You simply design your report then call it limiting the data to the current record. Allen Browne has a nice little tutorial on the subject here:

Hey Linq, thanks for the reply. Thanks for the link. It may provide an easier way of doing it. I solved it by creating the report from a query in which I pass the Where data to the query from the form. Seemed like a hard way to do it so maybe Allen has a better way. Thanks for the reply!! I appreciate it.Comment

Hi,
I hope someone can still help me here with this old post.
I did the above solution and I have the report printing work fine, but my problem is that the printing of report takes longer that I like. I think my problem is that I have a very large amount of records in the table/query to filter before printing.
I am hoping there is a way to just print the records in the form which is already filtered without running the query. Is there a way to send the records in the form to a temporary table/query for printing.
I have tried limiting the query with dates with little affect on the printing time.
TIAComment
