Report.OnPage property (Access)

  • Article

Sets or returns the value of the On Page box in the Properties window of a report. Read/write String.

Syntax

expression.OnPage

expression A variable that represents a Report object.

Remarks

This property is helpful for programmatically changing the action that Microsoft Access takes when an event is triggered. For example, between event calls you may want to change an expression's parameters, or switch from an event procedure to an expression or macro, depending on the circumstances under which the event was triggered.

The Page event occurs after Microsoft Access formats a page of a report for printing, but before the page is printed.

The OnPage value will be one of the following, depending on the selection chosen in the Choose Builder window (accessed by choosing the Build button next to the On Page box in the report's Properties window):

  • If you choose Expression Builder, the value will be =expression, where expression is the expression from the Expression Builder window.

  • If you choose Macro Builder, the value is the name of the macro.

  • If you choose Code Builder, the value will be [Event Procedure].

If the On Page box is blank, the property value is an empty string.

Example

The following example prints the value of the OnPage property in the Immediate window for the Purchase Order report.

Debug.Print Reports("Purchase Order").OnPage
