I cannot open or view the design of any report. I have opened several dbs and all of the reports are behaving the same way, I can't do anything to a report in any of them! Earlier in the day everything worked fine and now all of the sudden it does not. Can anyone help???
View RepliesHello all,
Please help with this:
On opening my database, I have a switchboard that opens up.
How do also run a report automatically just after the switchboard screen opens. To make the switchboard open when I click on my database, I went to tools..> startup. But I don't know how to run a report automatically after that.
Thanks for your help!
Is is possible to copy queries, reports, modules, etc. from one database to another, and if so, how? I have some queries and reports in an inventory database I'd like to copy and use in another database without having to set them up or re-code them again.
Thanks,
Rod

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue getting a database working, I've set up a form to enter the data but I'm having trouble getting the form to calculate GST (10% of initial value) from an initial value entered if a check box for GST required is selected and then adding the GST to the initial value to create a Total Value. If you have a look at where I've got too with it so far and the picture of how I need the data too be formatted.
Here is a link to where I'm at so far with the database:

I've created a Report called "Labels". I would like to use a program mwalts gave
me that searches my database and then sends out a mass email. I would like to take
this program and instead of it searching the database and sending an email, have it search
my database and print out the results in a report.
Can someone tell me the command lines I would need to add to the following program to do this?
I would like to just take out the email parts of the code and just substitute them with the print
label parts.
Thanks.

I have a multi-layered question regarding setting up an access database for fluid samples sent in by a customer.
Ideal Setup:
The database would prompt me for the Sample ID number which is a unique code we give to each sample. It would then prompt me for the customer name and if given an existing customer name it would pull up all the contact information for the customer. It would then prompt me for the machine ID# that the sample came from, from which it will pull up the data from 10 previous reports and place into the current report.
I would then input the current data for the sample after analyzing it. I then have an automated control to convert the report to a .pdf file and send it via outlook. It would also be nice if the report was uploaded onto a website that the customer could access, but this is a whole different issue.
Is this setup possible with Access 03 and if so is it even remotely possible for a newbie like me to create? Additionally, what would the time investment be for a project like this for a beginner? Are there any other more effecients ways or programs to accomplish this level of automation?
Thanks for any help you might lend!
I have a database that has been functioning very well for nearly a year. Suddenly today, as I attempt to open a report (very complex report takes about 2 minutes to render), the database closes before displaying the report. I have moved the db from the server to my desktop and the same problem happens. It does not matter if I try to execute the report from the switchboard or from the Report Object List.
DB is 344,940KB. I have larger db's that work fine.
I don't know where to look for a way to stop this from happening. Nothing was done to the form design between the last time it worked properly, and today.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks,
George
Hi,
I need help with an access 2000 multiple queries problem.
I have the following:
Table 1 = info below / table 2 = computer types / table 3 = offices 1 through 10
field 1 = name (20 employees)
field 2 = computer (5 different type of computers)
field 3 = office (10 different offices)
field 4 = issued
field 5 = not issued
field 6 = stolen
On a form I have the 2 combo boxes (computer and office) to select and check boxes to select issued or not issued or stolen.
I need a report printed based on the multiple criteria query only showing the results that I ask for.
For e.g. in office 5, computer IBM, issued.
Print Report: lists names of all in office 5, with IBM’s, issued only!
etc.
Please help.
Hey there, can anyone advise if the following is possible and if so how it might be done?
I have created a site using DWMX04, ASP & ACCESS.
I would like to be able to have some sort of report on what is being searched on the database.
Can this be done in ACCESS or by using ASP?
Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

I have a database in MS SQL. The users connect to database via MS ACCES ADP applications.
Some tables (like a TV Station or Names of employees) in the database have fields that serve as the flags. If the flag has a value of one, then such a record is used in the query to create a report.
Because there are multiple users of the database, frequently happens that flags overlap. One user sets the flag to one, and second sets the flag to zero. Therefore, it often happens that the received report incorrect.
Selecting the "General" group as this involves SQL Server Stored Procedures (SP) and VBA code and Reports and and and...
Client has requested exception type reporting noting when a price in a Bill of Materials (BOM) changes.
I am thinking to solve this with the following steps:
1) EXEC SP to run "this week's" BOM reports, automated, figure out how to print to PDF or something
2) EXEC SP to run "this week vs last week" exception report. A giant nasty:
Code:
SELECT cols....
FROM [xyz]
LEFT JOIN [histxyz] ON [xyz].[partnumber] = [xyzhist].[partnumber]
WHERE [xyz].[cola] <> [histxyz].[cola]
OR [xyz].[colb] <> [histxyz].[colb]
OR etc...
through each of the fieleds that are hooked up to change tracking. Run that SP once, then use that temp table to generate customized reports based on parts per product which had a change.
3) Update weekly state snapshot of all parts remembering this week's state... transfer data from [xyz] to [xyzhist], so TRUNCATE then INSERT commands.
Seems slow and monotonous, the snapshotting "shell game" aspect... perhaps I may wrap that all into a transfer SP and allow the data to stay right on the server as it moves tables.
We have an older system that generates txt reports. I take these txt reports, then using Excel, I append the report headers to each record... creating a datatable. I then import this table to Access. I have not been able to figure out how to have Access perform this. In Excel, I use an "if" statement.

I really need help with this. I have a database that is quite large and is accessed through VPN. When I shrink and compact the database it goes to a respectable size. But over time everytime a report is previewed the size of the database grows. Or every access it grows to double its size in no time at all.
Any ideas... on what would make it grow and how to stop it.
Thanks it is appreciated.

I have a database that I created that uses a form to fill out information about server builds. I contains information about who built it, the IP address, server name, etc. I want to be able to create a dailog box that allows the user to input a server name to query the database and create a report based on that input. And if the user input isn't found in the database, a dialog box comes up with some sort of error message. I am still pretty new to Access, so the more detail you can give me the better. Thank a lot.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have VBA code that switches a form to a report that works with buttons but refuses to work when first loading up the database.
Ideally I want the database to open , with a control form set as the default load form, and then this immediately loads a report, which it does, but it doesn't ever switch to it?
I use as standard: DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_here", acViewPreview, , , acWindowNormal
And now I've tried:
Application.DoCmd.SelectObject acReport, "rpt_Embroidery_Screen"
Which will both run and work fine using buttons but not on initial database/form load.

Is there a way to use the find command in access in one report to search throughout the whole database. For instance, I am designing a database that in a report it shows the number identifier of an item, and the actual detailed information is located in a separate form. What I want it to do is to be able to find the detailed information from a command within the report that only has the number identifier.

I am in the process of creating a training database that includes levels of proficiency with certain tasks for employees.
In one of my reports I would like to appropriately display with tasks the employee "Cannot Perform";"Can Perform with Assistance";"Can Perform Alone";"Trainer" (straight from the field list of the task). But I can't seem to get the hierarchy correct. Tried it in a PivotTable too as I thought similar to PTs in Excel you could get some kind of "count" of values. Couldn't make that happen either.
Each employee has a proficiency rating on about 20 different tasks. Proficiency input is controlled by a field list. I would like to structure this part of the report like so:
------------------------------------------------------------
EMPLOYEE PROFICIENCIES
--Cannot Perform Task
----Cutting
----Trimming
----Grinding
--Can Perform With Assistance
----Painting
----Fixing
----Drilling
etc. etc. So in this case the Field itself would become the value being grouped. I know there has to be some logic either in a query or SQL.
I want to track inventory. All our items are tubes that are stored in boxes in a 10x10 grid. So I have a single access table with columns for tube ID, box ID, and position in the box (numbered 1-100). That works fine in terms of 'where can I find tube x'. However it's also useful to be able to look at the physical box & check that there are tubes where should be tubes, and empty spaces where there should be empty spaces. So for each box in the database, I want to print out a 10x10 grid, with the appropriate tube ID's in the appropriate place. Then I can easily check the layout in the database against the layout in the actual box.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a form that contains a subform. The subform is a datasheet which calls the results of a query of 4 tables (tbl_companies, tbl_deals, tbl_products, tbl_vl).
In the main form there is a button which opens a report with a historical record of dates of value changes of each product up to a chosen date. This chosen date is determined by inputting a date into a text box.
This report also sources (tbl_companies, tbl_deals, tbl_products, tbl_vl).
When I try to open the report, I get the run-time error "3211".
'The database engine could not lock the table "Tbl_companies" because its already in use by another person or process.'
I'm guessing that because the query for the subform is already calling the table, the query for the report can't call the table at the same time?
I have built a custom search form in a MS Access 2010 database so that users can find specific records to edit. After entering the search criteria and hitting a Search button, another form opens up that shows the search results. This second form includes a command button for generating a report of the search results.
Right now, the custom search form and the search results form are both working properly, but the search results report is showing every record in the database instead of just the search results. This is true whether I access the report via the command button in the form or the navigation pane. I'm not sure if I need to correct my VBA code or the report's properties.
Does the MS Access Report support Hide/Show specific fields according to parameters or even by click?
