Using MS Access - Paint Event procedure in Access 2007
Expert: Bob Heifler - 10/30/2009
Question
I had an old module that I used, which required the "On Print" event, but I cannot find it in Access 2007. Can you help with directing me where to find it? Also, I noticed that there is an event called "Paint", can you tell me anything about it?
This Access 2007 menu is driving me out of mine. Thanks in advance!
Answer
Julia,
The Paint Event occurs when the section is redrawn (On the screen - not in printing).
It is not fired when you are printing the report. It fires when you go to a Screen "Report View" to view your report on screen.
The benefit of the new Paint Event is that the older Format Event does not fire in the Report View and so we now have the new Paint Event that can be used for more customized formatting of controls in that view.
The Paint event fires multiple time for each section because different objects are painted in different sequences within one section.
