You may be helping the City of San Diego in many ways. Much appreciated! Local time Today, Joined Apr 24, Messages If you have access which I don't , you would have the ability to generate report into PDF.
However, previous version of access would require an external library which you need to purchase. Please be carefull in choosing to buy products, as what you need is a library to be used in your code, not an "Add-on".
Most pdf products are designed as an add on which give you a convenient user interface. You would want a library in which you can use as function or procedure in your code.

I will try to explain it concisely here, but if you don't understand it, PM me and I will go more into detail.
I used to use Adobe Acrobat to accomplish this, but that got to be cost prohibitive considering that every one of my users needed an Acrobat license. Now, the steps you want to take are as follows: In the Page Setup of the report, click on the Page tab, and select use a specific printer, at which point you will choose your PDF printer.
Save the report. In VBA, create a procedure that will perform the following: Open a recordset that will hold the Primary Key for each of the records. Starting from the first record, loop until recordset. EOF, and at each step in the loop, use VBA to open the report hidden, change the caption of the report to the Primary Key and save and close the report. PrimaryKey you would need quotes if your primary key is text.
That's really all there is in the basic version. Of course you could beef it up a little by adding in code that would automatically relocate and sort the files for you, but that is a little more complicated. You may need to change some defaults with the PDF writer, such as set it to use AutoSave instead of prompting for a name each time. Also, you would need to set it to use the Report Title caption as the default file name.
AlanM Registered User. Local time Today, Joined Jul 11, Messages Local time Today, Joined May 15, Messages Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I am undertaking an almost indentical task. I have Access , and Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro. I can make the pdf file save without an prompts, but I am unable to make the Caption of the report set to the ID field of the report.
I have tried setting the value on events like Open, Load, Activate etc, but no luck. Does anyone know a method to get around this problem?
