Printing Membership Cards

I am trying to find a way to print membership cards... I have a database
that has a yearly membership with some 1000+ members... I need to print out
cards only for those members that I have selected... then update a field
that would flag the status of the card had been printed... also if I had a
problem with the printer... only the cards that did not print would print
again...

If I could say select all surnames starting with A,B or C first then D,E and
F next and so on... this would not be achive on the same day...

Unfortunately, there isn't any way for a printer to communicate to Access
that you spilled coffee on one page. I suggest that you print selected
records which don't have a print date, then upon successful completion use
an update query to update the print date with the current date. If you need
to reprint, you'll be able to find the records of a specific date. The code
for the report's recordsource would look something like:

"SELECT DISTINCTROW MemberID, FirstName, LastName FROM tblMembers WHERE
(((Left(LastName,1) In (" & Me.txtSelected & "));"

where txtSelected was a textbox that had the letters "A", "B", "C"

I use the technique from an unbound form which is significantly more complex
that what you need to do. The text box I use to supply data to the In
Clause, is filled with comma separated long integers. They don'r require the
quotes around each element of the string like text does.
