printing forms

[Joyce]

I've got 25 different request forms. If I use a report I
will have to create filtered reports for every form. is
there a simplier way of getting all my form data from an
individual form over to a report. If I just pull all the
fields, I get data for every record. As you can tell I'm
new to Access. Thanks

The simpler rule of thumb is forms are for viewing,
entering and editing data. They print poorly. Create
reports similar to the forms you need. You can print the
reports from the forms.

I have created numerous forms with headers. I have the
print control button in the text area of the form (Detail)
section. When I click the print button, the only text to
display in the header. I've taken the header out of the
header area and put the text from the header into the
detail section of the form, thinking that may be a work
around, and now nothing prints. Please HELP me if you
can. Thank you.

If you want to print information on paper, you should design Reports.
Forms will not do this for you. In designing Reports, you can often
use the same Queries as you used for your forms. Reports give you
complete control over what you print and how it appears. Forms will
not do this for you.
