How can i select many records to be printed on a report (without filtering)
which have nothing in common. I want it for a db which will stay on a
ReadOnly folder on a server.

Another question also: Can i set the preferences for all users in an Win2000
environment NOT to confirm action queries?

Thanks for your time fellows!
 
Hi,

I'll answer your second question first.

Choose Tools>Options>Edit/Find and change the selection
for the relevant option in the 'Confirm' section. This
will affect all users of the database regardless of
operating system.

You first question needs a bit more info supplied. A
query for a Report can return all records or selected
records based on some sort of criteria (filter). It is
possible to return a number of random records (see
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=208855) but I'm unsure
what you neeed exactly.

I want the user to select any records that interest him (for example books
from a library) and be able to print those records. Please note that a
checkbox can't be used because i want to place it in a read only directory
on a Win2000 server.

Thanks again for replying!!!!
 
Hi Vasal,

hmmmmmmm - good question. My immediate thought would be
to use a multi-select ListBox on a Form to generate a
comma seperated list of items in a hidden TextBox that can
be referenced by using IN() in a query behind the Report.

I don't have an example to hand but will look around this
afternoon - unless somebody else can point us in the right
direction? <grin>
