Embedding A Report In A Form
May 14, 2006
Is there any way to embed a report in a form?
What I want to do is something similar to using a subform, but I want to use a subreport as part of a region of a form (linked by the master/child fields).
The reason for this is because it is impossible to draw lines on a form. I MUST be able to do so (I've been through all the API stuff and after 3 hours, I realize it's just not an option). I can easily get a report to look the way I want it, and I want to display the section that has lines in the report.
Yes, I realize that it's read-only; there will be another interface for getting the data in. I just want to display it graphically with connecting lines.
Thanks,
SHADOW

Hi
From advice I have read on here I have worked out how to create a button on a form which opens a report to show the values which match the record open on the form. It then attaches that page as a txt file to an email. Which is great.
What I would like it to do though is insert into the body text of the email the text from the report. Have looked as much as I can at the properties of DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport but cannot achieve this myself.
What I have is pretty much this:
Code:DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "Your matching details this week", acFormatTXT, Me!PersonEmail, , , "Details this week " & Date, "Please see the attached text file for details this week which match your selection criteria.", False
How can I make the text appear within the email body?

I have a database in which i have a table imagemaster including fields as id,name,image(attachment)
Now I have a form on which image name is there on label
I have an imagecontrol on the form with no picture at start
I use dlookup function on formload event which pull image from the imagemaster table.
When my form is loaded it show ( can't open the file 1.png ) which is exactly the file from the table that i want to open. It means it goes right there to the source but cannot open that or embed that into my image control.

I have a form that I call the AdminForm. It allows the user to store administrative information about the business; business name, address, telephone number, etc. I also have as a part of the table that stores this information an Attachment Field where an image of their logo is stored in a field called, [Logo]. No problem here. The issue is that I want to use the [Logo] field elsewhere like in reports.
I've added an Attachment type control to the report and I've used DLookUp to use the image stored in the admin table, but it doesn't display on the report. There isn't any relationship between the admin table and any report so I can't join them unless I do something "unnatural" by adding a fictitious field to every record to tie it back to the key field in the admin table, (there is never more than one record in the admin table; I ensure that). That doesn't seem like the right way to accomplish this.

In an attempt to keep the aged and wise users of the DB from overlooking the "display as Icon" cbo when embedding PDF's, and thus finding them unaware of attached documents, I'm searching for a way to select this by default to eliminate the problem altogether.(leban's didn't seem to say anything helpful on the matter)
Any ideas, virtual-mentors?

I am wondering if it is possible to embed all of the photos that I have into my photo table automatically. I have the table set up with all of the data that needs to be there but I have over 1500 photos that need to be embedded and wanted to save myself some time and automate the process somehow. I already know that embedding these photos is going to make my database huge but that isn't an issue for this particular project.
As far as I can tell from this forum, the help and the Northwind database this isn't possible without manually going through every photo but I am pretty new to Access so thought I would throw the question out there.
Thanks

I have an access icon (*.ico) file associated with my DB. But when I try to access the database from a place other than my desktop where the icon is located the icon doesn't show up. Is there any way to embed the icon into the application so that when the database is loaded on a different machine the icon loads too..

I'm using Access 2010's DoCmd.OutputTo in VBA to export reports to PDF. The "look and feel" of the PDFs are very important, as they will be distributed to clients of my company. I'm using special corporate fonts that are legally licensed for embedding as a subset. Two are .ttf (TrueType) and two are .otf (OpenType) fonts. The ttf fonts embed fine; the otf fonts do not, and the PDF viewer substitutes something it thinks is close (but really isn't). In the properties of the fonts in Windows Control Panel, the embedding properties are exactly the same for both.
Any way to force the fonts to embed? or any other workaround? Also, is there any way to edit-protect PDFs with VBA code? Or apply any other type of PDF security such as requiring a password to open?

Hi,
I've been given an existing database to modify, and I'm struggling somewhat to see how the author has implemented certain functions.
On a main menu form (autoexecs on starting the database), there are various "Search By" option buttons to generate a report, ordered in various ways. The "On Click" field for each of them refers to a macro, called Buttons, and a line in that macro dependant on the type of search (e.g. OnClick = Buttons.byPerson).
The Buttons macro runs an OpenReport command, the report corresponding to the search type (e.g. Buttons.byPerson has an OpenReport command for the "Report by Person" report).
However, when I click the search buttons (or indeed run the corresponding reports) I instead get another form which allows the search criteria to be specified - this then generates the report (I would assume based on the relevant query - e.g. Person Query), but I cannot understand how this works.
Google searches have not helped much as I can't seem to find an adequate search phrase to use, and I've been staring at the thing for some hours now. Any help getting me off in the right direction would be much appreciated!

Hey all,
i have designed a invoice form and am having trouble taking the values on the invoice form to a report. The report will act as an invoice to be printed. On my form there are mutliple fields from 2 tables such as 'invoice master table' which includes details such as invoiceid,invoicedate, customer number,employee number. The second table(used as a subform) that is used in the form is 'invoice details table' which contains details such as productid, retailprice, quantity. I have made other fields on the form to do calculations such as total price, price of each product depending on the quantity. I was wondering how i would design a report that contains these details from the form.
All help would be great :) have a nice day:cool:

I have a macro which generates a report every time the user tabs to a field on my form. I want the user to continue tabbing within that form and be able to view the report. Instead, the focus (tab) switches to the report. How do I get the focus (tab) to stay on the form?

Hi
I'm pretty new to all of this. I've set up a simple database. I have a form in it for inputting information and then there is a command button on the bottom which prints out a report I've created with the information on it. This is all working great except it prints evey record and I only want the current record printed out.
I've tried the help and it goes into detail about OpenReport and PrintOut in macros. I have no idea what a macro is or what to do with it.
Can anybody please help me and give me step by step instructions as to how to print out only the current record in the report from the command button.
Your help is greatly appreciated:)

I have a form (entry screen to enter data) I then created a report in the layout I need for my order form. I want to creat a button that a user can press and it will print the current record to the report (order form layout)
Here is my current code for the print button on the form page:
Private Sub btnPrtOrderFrm_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "rptOrders2"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Exit_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click
End Sub
The only problem is when I tell it to print if I am on record number 2 on the form, it prints both record 1 and record 2. I only want the current record i am in to print. Any ideas much appreciated

Can someone help me do this in a better way? I have built the two queries below to give me a montly sum of some church contributions. On the "Reportsfrm" form I have two combo boxes to choose the month. One of the combo boxes is setup to choose the months of the year names. This is used merely to put the name of the month on the Monthly Report. The other combo box chooses a number from 1-12 which is used in the first query below to choose the month for the query. This works fine, but makes the DB user use two combo boxes. Does anyone know of a way that they can just choose the month by name? Thanks in advance for your help.
SELECT MemInfotbl.ContribDate, MemInfotbl.ContribAmt, Month([ContribDate]) AS ContribMonth
FROM MemInfotbl
WHERE (((Month([ContribDate]))=[Forms]![Reportsfrm]![Monthcbo]));
SELECT Sum(Monthlyqry.ContribAmt) AS SumOfContribAmt
FROM Monthlyqry;

Hi,
just a thought i have just come up with, is is possible to have a print preview of a report on a form?
I was just wondering if it was possible to have record information on one side of the from and then a screen shot/ scaled down view of a report on the other. Would it involve the bound property object? Haven't done any research on the matter, just something that crossed my mind.
Any ideas wlecome

The primary key is complt#.
How do I ensure that the complaint being printed is the complt# I have on the form?

I have a form that pulls a number of records from a number of different tables. I want to see basically the same information in a report. Is it possible to export the set up to a report so I don't have to build a report from scratch?
Thanks,
