Printing form with subforms

[hertfordkc]

My main form contains several subforms, of which several will always contain data, and several other subforms may or may not contain data. This information displays properly and I could print it with an earlier version of Access. With Access 2007, only the main form includes data in the printout. The subforms show their container boxes, but no data.
Help please.

You are printing forms? Forms are not intended to print. Reports are the best object for printing.

I haven't tried printing form/subform so don't have experience to offer solution.

The database has a number of reports. However, the principal input form concisely displays all of the information associated with an individual record, and is therefore printed when e.g. searching for courthouse records. A "Print" button on the form triggers
Docmd.Printout acSelection
which used to do the job. Now the main form prints with data, but the data in the subforms does not print.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Try without the acSelection parameter. I think the default is acPrintAll. Maybe that will include the subform.

Wait, is this form filtered to a single record? On second thought, the acSelection parameter might be needed to restrict the print to only the single displayed record. Is the subform set for Continuous view?

1) Removing the acSelection parameter results in multiple records being printed (incorrectly), instead of just the one form of interest.
2) Some of the subforms are set to single record, some are set to continuous view. None of the subforms print the data that is displayed.

Since this happened after upgrading to Access 2007, I'm going to review Access options to see any settings might affect the printout.

I appreciate your suggestions.

I just tested printing a form/subform with Access2007. Tested with the print dialog and VBA. Tested with subform in both Single and Datasheet views. All worked. Cannot replicate your issue. Do you want to provide project for analysis?

[hertfordkc]

The database is loaded with personal info for 600+ people.
Could you please load your test for me?
Thanks.

Okay, hope this helps. I will remove after you reply or in a few days. You could copy your project and remove confidential data.

Try printing to different printer, from another computer, create a form/subform from scratch in same project, in a new project - what happens?

EDIT: Purpose served, file removed.

Thanks for you help.
When I upgraded to Access 2007, I made changes to the subforms...and mindlessly set "Data Entry" to "Yes". I don't understand why the display still worked as it had in the past, but wouldn't print. However, when I examined your example and compared the settings, your example wouldn't display as I expect when I changed the "Data Entry" property.
When I set the "Data Entry" property to "No" in the subforms, all of the data printed. I haven't seen any adverse effects of changing to "No" yet.
Thanks again.
