Ok I've browesed this forum and can't seem to find anything that will work.
I have a report that includes 7 subreports with a page break before each subreport.
I want to hide, or disable the page breaks and subreports if a give subreport is empty.
Any ideas on how to do this?
I have a report with four subreports. If the subreports have no data I have a formula to put the word 'none' in the first field as follows:
=IIf(IsNull([Question]),"None",[Question])
I do a print preview and the word 'None' shows up and subreport looks good when I view just the subreport as well as when I view the full report.
When I print the subreport the text '#Error' prints. When I print the full report I just get a blank space.
I need the subreport to print with the word 'None' if there is not data. How do I accomplish? I tried the above formula both in the query and in the control source of the report. It just comes up blank when I put it in the query.
I have a report that has two sub reports one to report deposits and the other to report payments.
The report prints fine if there are records in both sub reports, however when the payments sub report is blank then the report hangs and won't print to pdf at all.
I have a report which contains 3 subreports. Now I require to do the following:
1. Hide the subreport if there is no data.
2. Remove the Blank space created when the data in subreport is null.
I tried to Set Can Grow and Can Shrink to Yes but still the blank space was not removed.
When I reduced the height of the subreports in the design view the blank space was reduced but it was still there.
What can be done so that the complete report auto adjusts itself if any sub-report is null? Something like the whole page auto fits itself in the available space?
The option of reducing the size of sub report in design view to minimum is there but it makes the report very un-handy for future reference.
I have a report with a subreport on it and I find that the subreport has alot of space between each of the rows of data that are shown.
How can I change the space between rows so it is not so great?
I tried "Padding" but this seems to change the distance between fields on each row, but not the distance between the rows.
I have recently encountered some issues with my database. When I load data from an .xlsm file to my front end table, I get additional records with no data only the ID. The data I loaded comes in fine, however I get many of these records with no data only the ID. This only happens in one of my tables.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
Hi,
I have installed Access 2007 and I have tried to run my
program written in access 2003 and 2000. It seems to work with a few bugs but my biggest concern is about one particular form. When I open it, I can see the headers but no data. Of course the query from this form is not empty.
At the bottom of the form, I have a total of the records and other calculations but the data are not visible. ( In access 2003, there was of course no problems)
What is very strange is that other forms of my program are well visible.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Daniel
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
what else can I do?
Thanks
I want to update an MS Access table date field with a blank date. How do I go about it? Right now, if the "dateAskFor_Funds" text field is blank, and I try to update the "AskFor_Funds_Date" field in the database, I get an error. That is why I don't do anything.
What expression should I use in the place of
intJunk = 1
in the code caption below.
Private Sub cmdUpdateApplication_Click()
Dim todaysDate
Dim intJunk As Integer
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
todaysDate = Date ' MyDate contains the current system date.
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.Open "EA_Apps_List", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
…
…
…
If IsNull(Me!dateAskFor_Funds) Or Me!dateAskFor_Funds = "" Then
intJunk = 1
Else
rst!AskFor_Funds_Date = Format(Me!dateAskFor_Funds, "Short Date")
End If
…
…
…
Set rst = Nothing
End Sub
I have a Database with 2 new fields
DB = ResolvedDateReport
Linked Tables to CSv File = tbl_ResolvedDateReport
CSV files holds the two new fields called.
Owner and Owner Name
What do I need to do to if the fields are blank to uplaod the data into the DB.
Have tried multi times and have failed.
Incident ID+ is the primary key field.
Here is my attempt for one field !!
UPDATE ResolvedDateReport RIGHT JOIN tbl_ResolvedDateReport ON ResolvedDateReport.[Incident ID+] = tbl_ResolvedDateReport.[Incident ID+] SET tbl_ResolvedDateReport.Owner = [ResolvedDateReport].[Owner];
Then I can update my pivot tables from Access to show the new fields with data.
I have a DAP that many users have access to.When opened the Dropdown is blank on some peoples and populated on others. Is there some setting that can cause this. I have checked to make sure that they have the allow ActiveX Controls to run files on this computer checked. Any other setting that may cause this? Thanks.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have an Excel file that I use to enter data. About half the columns are validation cells to minimize human error. The validation cells are in rows 2-200. I then import the data into Access.
The problem is that, even if I only enter or select data in one row, Access imports all 200 rows that contain validation cells. I only want the rows in which I've actually entered/selected data to be imported.
I've searched this forum, but may not be using the correct search criteria.
I've also searched Google for "Access Imports Blank Validation Cells from Excel" and other variations of the same words, and switched empty for "blank".
Can someone recommend a thread or on-line article that will give me an idea how to work around this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
PS. Sorry, I wasn't sure under which category to post this.
Again, thanks for your time.
Hi!
I've written a querry - and the results that come back dont look right. Some rows have data in and others dont.
Has anyone seen something similar?
Does this mean that the data are probably incorrect?
Any advise?
A.
I have a specific form, paper version, that I'd like to reproduce in an Access report. This form, which has 34 blank lines in the paper version, is used when people need to borrow some Tools or Equipment on a short period of time.
My report is made up in Access, but, if a person signs for, lets say, three different piece of Equipment, once it is sent to the printer, it prints three lines, which are the equipement signed for and it leave a big empty space before it reach the page footer.
What I need is something that will fill that empty space with blank lines. I found the following on the Net which meets my needs up to a point. What I mean is once it print the last line, it keeps on printing the last line until it meets the total count of 34 lines.
Here what I found on the Net: (note that I have a =count(*) into the Group Header)
Option Compare Database 'Use database order for string comparisons
Option Explicit
Global TotCount As Integer
' Call the SetCount() function from the group header section's
' OnPrint property using the syntax: =SetCount(Report)
[Code] ....
I submitted an attach file (blank_lines.gif) to show you what I end up with.
How I can automatically remove blank records from access table??
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi everyone...
I'm a high school student working on an Access project for a summer internship. I needed your assistance in writing a criteria for a select query.
Table1 has the following fields:
ID, First_Name, Last_Name, Org, Email, Status
Only "Email" is mandatory, ID is autonumber, the rest are optional.
I have to create a query that will allow users to search the table with any of the fields above. A user may search with only one field, e.g. all users where "org" = "YMCA"
Presently, I am using the similar criteria for all the fields:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![txt_FirstName] & "*"
The problem occurs when, for example a record exists with the following -
First_Name = Null or Blank
Last_Name = "Smith"
If you search for "Smith" in Last_Name, then the record does not show up, because First_Name in the record is blank.
How can I alter the criteria for it do search correctly?
I already tried:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![txt_FirstName] & "*" & ""
Thanks,
Gautam

Every time I re-open Access 2010 it pops up stating the following with a blank text box:
"[Forms]![Frm_system]![sub_frm_invoices].[form]![invoice_id"
I hit ok and the usual invoice_id param text box message box appears again.
Once that is over, I gain access. I can browse to the form - frm_system, open the sub-form sub_frm_invoices and remove the invoice_id field. Once I re-add it everything works fine (until I close the application).
I initially thought it was because the database was set to "compact on close" but I disabled that and it is still occuring .
I know this is the cause but as the sub-form itself uses a table record-source I know the field exists - not to mention I can simply delete and re-add it to fix it temporarily.
This behavior occurs when a field, a criteria, an expression, or a control in a query, a form, or a report references a name that Access cannot find. For example, a name could be misspelled or a field may not be available within that scope.
Basically it looks like the textbox displaying the invoice_id on the form is the problem. I can't figure out why though. When I remove it everything works - the queries work if I recreate it as well..
I am trying to find an average of four fields in either a form or query. Basically I have figures for [Grade 1], [Grade 2] but [Grade 3] is an empty field. I need to include all three field because there are sometimes 3 grades, but a majority are 2 grades. How to do so?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a query that I made for about five fields, where the criteria is
Like "*" & [Forms]![DATA SEARCH]![Box] & "*"
Where box is the name of the field that I am searching for.
However, some of the fields in my form are left blank, which makes this refuse to give any results when I try to query it with a form. The other problem that I have is that the fields are bland in different parts of the 1,000 some-odd row table, which was imported from MS Excel.
My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon
Export from print preview
Export via macro
Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.
Update: I copied the database to my local PC and when I export the XLS file it opens in protected view.
Hi guys,
I have been running the same database on numerous systems for 5 years and the user clicks on a button and using this code;
DoCmd.OpenForm "Employee", acNormal
Simple !, this always opened this form blank, without applying filters, ready to accept a new employees details.
But now this no longer works, for no apparent reason?
What happens is that it opens with the form fields filled with the first person in the Databases details instead of being blank.
The only thing that could have changed is that i converted the database to 2003?
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance
I've created a database which I'm pretty much using as a point of sales terminal.. it does sales, returns, expenses etc. I have created a report for each one of these (sales, returns...) which can be printed off at the end of each day.
At the moment, if there is no data in one of the reports, I have put a bit of code in the NoData event of the report that will make a label visible saying "no sales/returns/expenses for this date".
I am trying to combine all of these reports into one report so the user can click a button to open a general "End of Day" report. The problem with making them all subreports is that if there is no data in a subreport, nothing will be displayed in that subreport.
Is there anyway to force access to display a subreport regardless of whether is has data in it? or can anyone see another option which i have missed?
When entering information into a blank form, I would like to be able to continue entering information to another additional blank form after my last entry. Is there a way to continue to a blank form after entering information into the previous blank form? I would just like to continue without having to close the entire form and then reopening another form.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to add a dropdown box or something that determines that a subrecord is active/completed, and then have a way to jump straight to the one that is active by clicking a button on the record? In the example I attached, I want to be able to click on the button above the tab and have it switch to that tab and open the first record it finds that has "Active" selected.
