OpenReport Method
The OpenReport method carries out the OpenReport action in Visual Basic.
expression.OpenReport(ReportName, View, FilterName, WhereCondition, WindowMode, OpenArgs)
expression Required. An expression that returns a DoCmd object.
ReportName Required Variant. A string expression that's the valid name of a report in the current database. If you execute Visual Basic code containing the OpenReport method in a library database, Microsoft Access looks for the report with this name, first in the library database, then in the current database.
View Optional AcView. The view to apply to the specified report.
| AcView can be one of these AcView constants. |
| acViewDesign |
| acViewNormal default Prints the report immediately. |
| acViewPivotChart Not supported. |
| acViewPivotTable Not supported. |
| acViewPreview |
FilterName Optional Variant. A string expression that's the valid name of a query in the current database.
WhereCondition Optional Variant. A string expression that's a valid SQL WHERE clause without the word WHERE.
WindowMode Optional AcWindowMode.
| AcWindowMode can be one of these AcWindowMode constants. |
| acDialog |
| acHidden |
| acIcon |
| acWindowNormal default |
OpenArgs Optional Variant. Sets the OpenArgs property.
Remarks
For more information on how the action and its arguments work, see the action topic.
The maximum length of the WhereCondition argument is 32,768 characters (unlike the Where Condition action argument in the Macro window, whose maximum length is 256 characters).
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.

The following example prints Sales Report while using the existing query Report Filter.
DoCmd.OpenReport "Sales Report", acViewNormal, "Report Filter"
