    Print a Report on a TV


    We already have a computer dedicated and connected to a television for the public to view. What would be the easiest way to Print a report, and get it to scroll acrost a Monitor for viewing, and have it loop constantly. we would also like it to be automatic when we add new data about every 15 minutes or so.

    i print our access reports to pdf files in respective folders like:
    \\server\reports\Machining\250331\Daily.pdf

    then users can use web or file browser view them.
    (or your tv app can)

    docmd.OutputTo acOutputReport ,"rDaily",acFormatPDF, vFilePath

    We use SQL server back-end + report services to publish the production reports on several monitors - refresh every 15 minutes

    You might be better off using a form if you were referring to an actual Access report. AFAIK, you cannot refresh a report; you have to close and reopen it. You can simply refresh or requery a form (which can be made to look like a report if you wish).
