Description
The PrintOut method carries out the PrintOut action in Visual Basic. For more information on how the action and its arguments work, see the action topic.
Syntax DoCmd.PrintOut [printrange][, pagefrom, pageto][, printquality][, copies]| Argument | Description |
| printrange | One of the following intrinsic constants: |
| acPrintAll (default) acSelection acPages | |
| If you leave this argument blank, the default constant (acPrintAll) is assumed. | |
| pagefrom | A numeric expression that's a valid page number in the active form or datasheet. This argument is required if you specify acPages for the printrange argument. |
| pageto | A numeric expression that's a valid page number in the active form or datasheet. This argument is required if you specify acPages for the printrange argument. |
| printquality | One of the following intrinsic constants: |
| acDraft acHigh (default) acLow acMedium | |
| If you leave this argument blank, the default constant (acHigh) is assumed. | |
| copies | A numeric expression. If you leave this argument blank, the default (1) is assumed. |
| collatecopies | Use True (–1) to collate copies and False (0) to print without collating. If you leave this argument blank, the default (True) is assumed. |
Remarks You can leave an optional argument blank in the middle of the syntax, but you must include the argument's comma. If you leave one or more trailing arguments blank, don't use a comma following the last argument you specify.
