This morning when I make changes to reports in design view then I try to save the changes and Access acts like nothing was saved. I then close window and it asks if I want to save changes, I click yes then it dosn't close. If I close and don't save changes it closes then.
I don't get any error messages or anything that looks like a problem and I could save changes yesturday. Not sure what is differant today.
It is on Access 2003 format.
Is it possible to save a report as a pdf but give it a specific name on the click of a button? example if user presses a button the report will be saved as a pdf but the name of the pdf will be made up of two of the text boxes on the report. txtbx1 = "hello" txtbx2 = "123" name of pdf will be hello123...

When i preview, i see all data just fine but when i save a PDF of my report, i am missing some data in the report. That data is rather important because its the quantities and size of my items in my Purchase Order Report.
I do see the items description.
Background: Access 2003
I have a database with which I use to generate reports as pdfs to load to a website.
However when I go to save the file as a pdf it is always as the report name.I am trying to automate this by using a macro as I need to run a report 50 times for ships with a different parameter each time (name of the ship) Another report needs to be run about 30 times, this time the parameter being a date And finally two other reports, but I can live with those being the name of the reports.
Firstly can this be done?
Secondly which would be the best way?
I've tried using the macro route by I run my Report "Main_Ship" with a where clause of [ship]="wiltshire". This produces the report with the relevant ship, but I am then unsure what to use next to save it as a pdf with the name "wiltshire" using the macro route.
or
Create a VBA routine that runs the report as many times as required each with a different parameter for the name of ship or date.?

I have a form where user can chose his own criteria for the report, like time period, ppl involved and other parameters. i open report filtered with these conditions. I also create a nice text (as public variable) bout what where the search criteria and put it in the header/footer. Then I export the report as xls file. it's nicely saved as column names and data, just what i need.how to add a field that would store the criteria, ie that string public variable that has it all neatly explained?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that has multiple clients on each page. In the report, some clients have data for a specific date while others do not.
I would like to be able to Save As PDF each page to a specified folder but only if that client has data in the report. I am currently doing this in Excel, but would like to move my data and reports over to Access. My Excel VBA code is:
Sub SaveAsPDF()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Range("B66").Value <> "" And _
ws.Name <> "Notes" And _
ws.Name <> "Lookups" Then
[code]...
Which says if B66 is empty then don't Save As PDF. Is this possible to do in Access?I'm very new to Access and have never used VBA in it before.I would like to be able to create a button in a form that when I click it will run this code.
My reports are saved as a PDF at the moment I click the print report button, select cutePDF Writer then manually add the Quote number stored in Field from the Table or form into the file name, then select the location to store the PDF file
Can I make this process automated when I click the print report button to auto select PDF Print, then auto populate the file name with the quote/Inv Number and then save to nominated directory.

MY question is how to save a Report as Webpage Local on harddisk and that flashes updated information .
Example :
Report---> Local WebPage
SomeChanges done
Updated Report-----> Changed info Webpage
I want to save my report as excel file on the user computer with a click of a button. I have tried this code:
Private Sub Cmd_ReporttoExcel_Click()
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Gastrolog Report", acFormatXLS, "C:UsersXXDocuments" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls"
End Sub
But it is giving error 2282 - The format in which you are attempting to output the current object is not available.
The other part of this question is :
This is something similar when I didn't have "PDF add in " in access 2007, when I added PDF add in then option to save file in PDF was available in "output to" action of macro. There is nothing like excel add in. However when I can export the data in excel sheet by Export function in access why don't I have option to save file as excel in "output to " action in macro? I want to have this option so that user can click a button in the form rather than in the top ribbon try to find out how to transfer and save the excel sheet.
I have a form and a report that will not save the changes nor close. I have done compact and repair, performed a restart and it is still happening. What could cause something like this. I have been working all day on other forms and reports without incident.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of the users of my application, reports an error when saving a report to pdf by VBA code. She’s using Access 2013, on Windows 8.1.
The error is “error 2501 output to action was cancelled with access vb macro”
The VBA code is
StrReport = “RepInvoice”
StrDocumentName = “C:UsersMaryDocumentsAccessInvoice.pdf”
DoCmd.OpenReport StrReport, acViewPreview
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", StrDocumentName, False
DoCmd.Close acReport, StrReport, acSaveNo
This error occurs at the OutputTo line. This code is part of an user form with a button “save as PDF”.
When this code is run, the report is visible as an example (as meant to be) on the screen. The code stops at the OutputTo line.
When I use
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, acFormatPDF, StrDocumentName,, False
the problem still exists.
I tried to save the report manually by Preview > Export > PDF. The preview is OK, saving as PDF results in the same error 2501. This may lead to the conclusion that this problem is not caused by the VBA code.
I verified whether user write rights are OK, and whether a default printer is available. Both are OK. The report consists of 1 page.
When this very same application is used with Access 2010, everything functions as expected.
I have an acces form to input client orders. Each order has its own order number a different client. On the same form I have a button to generate a report based on the inpuuted data on the same form which works perfectly fine.
Now I need to use same report to save each order in a specific folder on my computer in pdf format. However I would like to have the file generated as follows ordernumber "-" clientname.pdf. This way each order is saved in the same folder without overwriting the previous one.
So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I am using Access 2010.
I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?

I have a combo box that gets its data from a seperate table...In the table I have "Location_ID" and "Location_Name". When I save my form I want the "Location_Name" to save in the "Events" table, but its putting in the "Location_ID". How do I get it to save the "Location_Name" instead of the "Location_ID" from the combo box.
Thanks in advance.

Hey all I have added a yes no button to my save button, so users have the option to save the record or not. so the save yes works fine, but it is the save no I am having probelms with. I would like to click no, and have the changed not saved, clear that out and go back to the first record again kind of like undo. Thanks! Here is my current code:
On Error GoTo Err_savebtn_Click
PIN.SetFocus
'enable buttons
insbtn.Enabled = True
Command31.Enabled = True
Command63.Enabled = True
'Save the current record
Dim Answer As String
Let Answer = MsgBox("Would you like to save your changes?", vbYesNo, "Save record Confirmation")
If Answer = vbYes Then
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
exitedit
Else
exitedit
Call firstbtn_Click
End If
Exit_savebtn_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_savebtn_Click:

I previously posted this in one of the other forums, but now believe this to be of a more general nature, and am still without a satisfactory explanation or any workaround:
I'm working on a new database with Access 2003, using the 2002-2003 file format. While debugging a VBA code module in the VB editor, whenever I get a runtime error something strange happens - I stop the debugger, correct the code and attempt to save my changes, and Access displays the message "Microsoft Office Access can't save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save your design changes or to save to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file." It then persists in denying me the ability to save ANYTHING until I close the VB editor, close the Access application, and then start over again. In fact, there is no other user - all other machines on the network are turned off, and no other instances of Access or the VB editor are open.
Needless to say, this is slowing my development efforts to a crawl, and I'm totally stumped by it - I never remember running into this problem in years of working with Access 97 (where I can hit errors, stop execution, make any needed corrections to code or other objects, and re-run the application, without having to exit). I'm running this on a P4 3.4 GHz box with 1 GB of RAM. Going into Tools, Options, Advanced and switching the "Default open mode" between Shared and Exclusive makes no difference.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Hi.
I got a problem...
How do i put access to not save automatically. I want it to save only wend i click on the save button i put on the form.
How do i do that?
Thanks.
I have noticed that when i am editing an object within my database, specifically a query and click to close it, it doesn't prompt me to save the changes and does it automatically. There have been cases where i do not want to save the changes and just wanted to know if there was a simple setting to turn off automatic saves?
