PRB: Unbound Controls in Form Datasheet Do Not Print Preview
'Article ID: Q109311

Creation Date: 02-JAN-1994

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOMS

The data in unbound controls on forms will not be displayed when you preview the form in Datasheet view. Only the names of the controls will be displayed. Data in bound controls will be displayed correctly.

RESOLUTION

Preview the form in Form view to correctly display the information in unbound controls. Or, bind unbound controls to fields on a table that store the data. Binding the controls in this manner will allow you to preview the form in Datasheet view and see the controls' values.

STATUS

This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.
 * 2) Create a new, unbound form.
 * 3) Place an unbound text box on the form.
 * 4) View the form in Datasheet view.
 * 5) Type any text in the control on the new form.
 * 6) From the file menu, choose Print Preview.
