    Setting a printable area in access 2007

    I have added a subform to a another form in my access project. the problem comes when printing. Am trying to print a specific form for a student but the form appears bit by bit in so many pages.i have tried using the print button but there is no change. is there a way that you can specify an area of a form that you want to print?

    Rather than printing hte form, I would recommend creating a Report that printed that record. It is a much more professional way to present and print data.

      the subform contains the passport of the student. i wanted both the passsport and student's merit to display at in one from since the passport is in the admision form (adm form) and the student merit is in another form (students merit form). i have tried a query but the passport does not show.

        By "passport" do you mean a photo? It is possible to create a report that will link a student's photo. Additionally, if you can create a form with the student's merit on it, it should be just as easy to create the report.

        The photo will not show in a query. But, however you have your form design to show the sutdent's photo, you will use a similar method in the report (it would go in the Format event of the section of the Report that has the photo).

        All of this is relatively simple to do. If you build the basic report, we can help walk you through the additional steps.

        Hope this helps.
