Printing Drunk Cards
Uriel Ramirez 
    
6 years ago
Richard, hope you are getting better and that you and your love ones are safe during this time. I work in a company that is international. In certain occasions, a large contingent of the company will need to travel to other countries. I work in the HR department and I am required to provide the "drunk cards" to the departing members. The drunk card is a wallet size card that contain company/employee information in one side and useful country information in the other. if the company employee gets lost, she/he can give the card to local authorities to be escorted to the local hotel, or can she/he can use the phone numbers in the back to be pick up by other employee. Hope I haven't lost you yet.... here comes the Access related question. I often end up printed both faces side by side, folding them over and laminating them, wasting twice as much paper as I should. I have tried to print both sides separated in duplex to see if I can get both sides aligned in one run. This is often time consuming. Is there a setting, or trick in which access can recognize both faces and print them in duplex with perfect alignment instead of me having to do print, align, print align? WHERE IS THE PRINT SEMINAR!!??

If you make it so that page 1 of your report is all of your labels (cards), and then page 2 is all of the BACKS of those same cards, then if you print and select DUPLEX printing, they should line up correctly. You may have to play with it a little bit, but you should be able to get it right. The trick here is that you're going to have to use a separate LabelT table, feed the labels into that based on the number of labels that will fit on a single page, then feed in the BACKS of those labels (which can be just static text instead of actual data) and then continue with page 3 which is more cards. I cover this technique in Access Expert 32, which I know you have. Unfortunately I don't have a duplex printer here to play with - just a normal HP OfficeJet that doesn't support double-sided printing, but I've had Lexmark laser printers in the past that I was able to use this technique on.

Thank you Richard, I have a lot of your videos but I have not get around to watch them. Is the one where you use Excel Formulas in Access out yet?

Not completely. I do cover a little bit about how to do this in my DateTime Seminar where I show you how to reference Excel's NETWORKDAYS function. More is coming in the Developer series.
