MS Access 2010 - docmd.printout not printing specified number of copies

Question

I'm almost to conclude it is a bug in MS Access. I am at the end of my string to know what to try next.

Here are my steps:

1. Create new, blank 2010 format Access Database
2. Create new report in database with no data source and only one label just so that there is something to print.
3. Print Preview the report.
4. Press Ctrl+G to bring up the immediate window
5. Type docmd.PrintOut,,,,10 and press enter.
6. Only one copy prints out!

I have done the same thing in my existing rather large database application and no matter what I do I can't get Access to print out more than one copy! There is one exception to this; there is ONE report that will work as normal and I can print out as many copies as I want. I have yet to find another report that works besides this one.

To make it even stranger, when I preview the report, click print on the ribbon and enter a quantity to print, I still only get one copy!

Does anyone have any other ideas of what to try or what the issue might be?

Answer 1

I am getting the same results that you report. As a work around, you could bind the report to a "numbers" table, that is, a table with integers from 1 to maximum required, and set the from and to pages, rather than number of copies.
