Can anyone tell me how to have Access automatically close a report without saving any changes.
I do not mind if the user closes the report manually but do not want Access to prompt the user to save changes. I want it to automatically abandon any changes that were made.
I want to close an Excel application without it prompting me if I want to save it or not
that's what I use
set xlApp=nothing
it doesn't seem to work cause when I shut down my computer, it still asks me if I want to save it
looks like the application is still running in the background even if i set it to nothing
I could use xlApp.quit but I don't want anything poping up
can it be done?
I have a form and one of the fields is a drop down box with autofill. If I enter an information that it is new, it doesn't show in the drop down box even after I click on the Save button I created on the form. In order to show up, I need to close the form, then reopen it again.
I am running this particular drop down box from a query in order to facilitate the autofill and because it also automatically fill other fields when the information has been already entered.
I also tried linking the drop down box directly to the table instead of the query, but it did not worked.
So basically my main problem is that in order for the new information to appear in the drop down box I need to close the form and reopen it.
Any ideas what can I do here?
Thanks
I have a form frmAddNewProject that is a Data Entry form.When you click Add Project on the form, it creates folders and copies files to a location and also creates new record(s) in the ProjectT table with appropriate information.Here is my code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
Dim FSO As Object
Dim FromPath As String
Dim ToPath As String
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim strType As String
Dim strYear As String
Dim strGPN As String
[code]....
Everything works fine till here. Now I would like to close the form but closing it gives me an additional empty record.
Code:
Dim ctl As Control
On Error Resume Next
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
ctl = ctl.DefaultValue
Next
Set ctl = Nothing
to remove all values, but then it just adds an empty record.Is there a way to close that form without removing my legitimate new records and without adding empty ones?
I have a form I would like to close without saving the record using a button. here is the code I have but it closes the form and it also writes the record to the table.
Code:
Private Sub ClosewoSave_Click()
Cancel = True
Me.Undo
DoCmd.close
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMenu"
End Sub
I found in a thread that Cancel = True would not write the record.
I have a form with a child that holds a query and for 99.9% of the time remains locked as it's for viewing data only. However, if the user wishes to make a change then they need to press an unlock button first then make the changes.
The problem I have is when closing the form; if this child's query has been unlocked I'm getting a message asking do I wish to save the changes to the layout of the child's query. The answer will always be "No".
I've added the following line of code to all sorts of procedures with no success.
DoCmd.Close acQuery, "LinkTableManager_Frmqry", acSaveNo
how to stop the message appearing when the form is closed.
I have a timer form which closes the database after a period of time with DoCmd.Quit. Another form is open at this point but if a user has left it in the middle of editing it I want to be able to save the record in the other form and close it before the timer form closes the database.
What VBA do I need in the timer form to save the record and close the other form before DoCmd.Quit? Just to be clear the code is...
Private Sub Form_Timer()
On Error Resume Next
Me.Tag = Val(Me.Tag) - (Me.TimerInterval / 1000)
Me.Caption = "The database will exit in " & Me.Tag & " seconds"
If Val(Me.Tag) <= 0 Then
[code]...
is there a way to use vba to close the currently open report on the screen without specifying its name.

As the user presses "X" to close the report, I would it to be that if the user says yes...the report prints. If the user says no...the report closes.:cool:
Private Sub Report_Close()
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt, Response, MyString
Msg = "Print the Report?"
Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion

Hello all,
I have a form that takes info from another form and then adds some from it's own data and then it proceeds to print a bunch of reports based on what tests were done etc. When I just print them (With preview) I have a function in the first report that prints (in its Close event) to close the form. No problem. I have a new slick little pdf thing that automatically names the files and puts them in the right spot etc. With this, after the first report is printed it closes thereby closing the form which needs to be open for the rest of the reports to open. Just put the close event on the last report that prints you say? I don't always know which report will be that last, it depends on the tests.
How can I check to see when all the reports have been printed and then close the form. Is there some way to have the form close itself after a certain time? Am I going to have to make the users close the form themselves?
Let me know if this is confusing. Upon reading over this it does sound a bit confusing. Thank you for your help and patience.

I have a subform that displays results based on selections from cascading boxes on the form. I am trying to print them to a report. I think my procedure is correct for the print button and Im afraid my problem is that the form is not based on a seperate query. Is that they only way to be able to print? It is based on procedures defined in the cascading boxes. How can correct it so it will print the results to a report? Thanx.

I have managed to export areport to file but I lose all the formatting. I get the option to output as html, xls, txt, rtf or snapshot format.
Is there a way I can output the file whilst maintaining the look of the report as it is in print/preview??

Hello all!
I would like to have one stupid question, because I could not find any answer on this forum.
I want save the Form as Report. I can do that from "Menu bar", but I want to do that from the code (VBA or Macro) without inputting the output parameters by users.
Do you have any idea how?
Many thanks.

I have built several reports and I have set the layout to Landscape. When I go into the reports after a few days, it puts the format back to portrait. How can I stop this from returning to portrait?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all - I'm new here and am very glad to find this forum for some help!
I've been using Access for several years and I do the same type of reports over and over and all of a sudden I'm having trouble.
I typically modify existing queries - changing the name of the department in order to pull up their info - and then I format a report and modify that same report over and over with the "Properties" key where I pull in the new query info and then use SAVE AS to save the report with that department's information.
For the first time ever it will not let me SAVE AS with the new info. Sometimes it just does nothing at all - appearing to save but then the report isn't there - sometimes giving me a pop up box that says it couldn't find the search key - I don't even know what that is!
I can SAVE AS with queries, but not reports. HELP!
Thanks!
I have a report that prints labels.
Every few times of opening the report, the page setup settings revert back to default i.e. 1" margins, 1 column etc.
how can i assure that these settings remain unchanged??
thanks!
What I want to do is save a daily report to a map source, each day the map name changes so for today the map name is "Report2013-10-03", and tomorrow the map name will be "Report2013-10-04".
Is this possible? is there some function like save(Report%s) where %s = date() ?
Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way for a report to be automatically saved as an excel file. Also, the Access database is stored on the company's server so would you be able to choose the path where the excel file would be stored?
Cheers,

I am building a database which produces a report which I have formatted as a letter, I know I could have done this via a mail merge etc however...
What I am wanting to achieve is when this report(letter) is run, is there a way that when it is produced from a macro button embedded in a form that this report can then be saved as a pdf attachment within the same access database attached to a client record?
I have developed an Access Database for my Co-Op work term workplace, and everything seems to be running smoothly with the exception of the report generation phase. The company I am at has a set template for all reports (Clients column always goes in a specific place on the page, and the report always contains the same categories in the same locations; things like that). The problem is that, every time I go to make a new report, I have to re-format and re-make the report. Is it possible to save a report`s format so that, when I go to make a new report, it automatically applies that format to the data being used?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have generated a report in acviewreport, after viewing the details I want to save the report as a pdf file with the client name, invoice number and date. In the report design view I added a cmd button and successfully coded it. However, it saves the report WITH the cmd button showing. I don't want this button saved. Is it possible to remove the button from the report AFTER I have clicked it?
View 4 Replies View Related:mad: I could really use some help here! Apparently, completing a mail merge automation process is much more complicated than I originally thought. I have it doing absolutly everything I need it to do (open merge document, merge data, print, and close all in the background) but I am missing one critical but probably simple step. I want to merge just the CURRENT record only, not the entire database. I've read all 500+ posts concerning merging, but I'm still lost.
-how do I specify just the current record's information?
-do I need to create bookmarks, and how do I do this?
-how do I properly use the WHERE statement?
This may be the last thing I need to do with my database, if I can get it working right. Currently, it's trying to print all 883 records and takes about 10 minutes to run the command (probably because it's trying to pull all of the records instead of just one.) I will post my code, if you like. I know this is simple, but I can't work it out on my own. Please help me!
Hi,
I used ShellExecute function to open the speicific pdf file,
I want to create a button which can close the speicific pdf file.
Are there any API function to close the file?
If I start access and try to create a new database or view any database after a second or so this dialog box saying access needs to close appears. It has only happened after I closed the program and it asked if i wanted to save the current dbase. If I view the offending database (by copying it via a pen drive) on my other computer every thing works perfectly!
I have tried the "repair program", same result. I have reinstalled the program, same result. I have totally uninstalled Office XP professional and reinstalled it SAME RESULT! As I am not a programmer I am at a loss!
I am using code in Access to run a merge in Word. I'll call the database containing the function (MergeWord) that runs the merge Database1. The table used in the merge is in a different database. I'll call the database that contains the table Database2. When the merge is run, another instance of Access is automatically opened with Database2 open. How do I close the second instance of Access (Database2)?
Here's my code so far:
Function MergeWord()
Dim ObjWord As Word.Document
Set ObjWord = GetObject("H:SHAREDFORMSTest.doc", "Word.document")
ObjWord.Application.Visible = True
ObjWord.MailMerge.OpenDataSource NAME:="H:AccessDatabase2.mdb", Linktosource:=True, Connection:="TABLE NewFileExport"
ObjWord.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
ObjWord.MailMerge.Execute
ObjWord.Application.NormalTemplate.Saved = True
ObjWord.Activate
ObjWord.Close False
Set ObjWord = Nothing
Exit Function
End Function
