Check for a value before you print.
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click() Dim StrDocName As String Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits. Me.Dirty = False End If If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record to print MsgBox "Select a record to print" Else If IsNull(Me.[RegisterNumber]) Then MsgBox "A Register Number is Required" Me.[RegisterNumber].SetFocus Else strWhere = "[RegisterNumber]=""" & Me.[RegisterNumber] & """" DoCmd.OpenReport "RegEntryFormRpt", acViewPreview, , strWhere End If End If End Sub
