I built a database off of the access wizard and it gives me the capability to enter date parameters before running my reports, than displaying the revised report. I.E. I am prompted to enter start and finish dates, and then after entering this info and hitting a button to preview the report, the only data displayed is that that falls into that date range.
I have created a new report that wasn't built into the wizard. This report "hits" an underlying query. I have also added a button on the switch manager to preview the report. I want a user to be able to click that preview report item on the switch manager, then be prompted to enter start and finish date information, then hit an ok button, then have the report with the relevant information displayed.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I've been reading up quite intensively on using QueryDef's collection to try to pass a Parameter to a Query in order to then Open a Report. But can't seem to get it to work. I've been trying to write an SQL statement that the VB will accept in code but never got it to work. Depite copy/pasting the SQL from the Query Access creates. regardless.. I really need some help with this one. Thanks. Procedure follows. Get error that Report not found... The name is correct... I just want to pass the integer (index) from the ListBox into the Query then Open the Report... Thats all...

How do I get a query to run upon opening a report. My report has a few fields from a query that once the user inputs information the query is obviously outdated. Since it needs to be as simplistic and user friendly as possible I won't ever have them run the queries themselves so I'm trying to have them run to be updated for the report when the user goes to open the report.
I have DB in access 2007. I have a report that is uses a select query to generate the information for the report. It has been working great, But however lately like maybe with in the last month, it has been causeing Access 2007 to crash. I am having the same issue with another DB that uses the same information but that information is imported in. both Databases have worked great up until two months ago. Microsoft states that it is because of the program. I have tried to repair the DB by using the Repair option. I am confused as to why this would be happening. I can create a new report and it seems to work. but I do not want to change all the DB on everyone's computer just for this reason. I also have two buttons on my report that utilize macros to close or print the report.
I have a query that uses the input from a form as criteria, which is then used in a report. The form input is a drop down based on another table. This is a sales pipeline report, and the list is a list of sales people. The report works perfect for all sales people except one. When I run it for the one, I get the following error:
"This expression is is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables".
I DO NOT get the same error when running the query by itself - so assuming there is something in the report causing this. I do have some sum formulas in the report.
Again, no other salespersons selected cause this error -- so I am assuming there is something in the dataset for this person that is causing the error.
I've made a report on a blank report template. I've dropped in 5 sub reports. I have entered into the criteria for each of the queries based on [forms]![ClientForm]!CleintID. to run the report. It wortks but I have to enter the ClientID 5 times. Usually, when I create a button to run the form from, it only asks for the CleintID once. The 5 reports are based on 3 separate queries.
I have entered an unbound text control into my footer, and typed in some text, and now when I go to Preview my report it's asking for a Parameter Value? There is no parameter, as it's just a return address typed in there. That's crazy!!!
I have created a database to keep track of transcripts that are requested. This database has their names, ID number, date requested(With a pop-up calender), transcript type requested(This is a combobox where the choices are "Official Copy" and "Student Copy") and address.
So far, it works great. What I wish to do is run a report that I can choose the begining date and ending date for a specified month to see the total "Official Copies" and "Student Copies" for a given month.
I have a question about for combobox. I have a field from my tables that a text only then I make in the look up property field to become combobox then row "source type is a value list" then,"Allow value list edits, I make it Yes". then in the form its possible for me now to add value list in the combobox. but I want that what ever I input to become a value list, that's all they can select for the value of that field. if they can type or add not listed in the value list I input, it will not possible & there's a msgbox will appear mentioning the "the value you input is not in the list..
I posted this within the Reports as well, but since this has a little bit of VBA decided to ask this here as well.
I have a report that is created from the following query (qryTotalProjectHours). What I am trying to do is get the total hours spent on Tasks within a given time period. A given Task can we worked on by multiple individuals and hence I need to find a way to aggregate the hours spent.
Code: SELECT TasksEntries.Project, TasksEntries.Task, Sum(TimeTracker.WorkHours) AS TotalHours FROM TasksEntries INNER JOIN TimeTracker ON (TasksEntries.EmployeeId = TimeTracker.EmployeeId) AND (TasksEntries.TaskID = TimeTracker.TaskId) GROUP BY TasksEntries.Project, TasksEntries.Task
I accept the start and end dates in a form and pass it like shown below. WorkDate is a column in the TimeTracker table and is not present in any other table.
When the report is invoked, I get a box where it says "Enter parameter value" for Workdate..
Is there anyway I can get rid of the prompt? I never thought you needed the column name in the SELECT statement to be able to run this.
I should add the I tried the query with the WorkDate hardcoded in there and it worked fine and returned the correct results
I have attached the cut down version of the database that I am working on.Open up the frmManagerReport Form Leave the Employee drop down empty Enter the start and end dates ( I have used 4/1/2015 and 4/30/2015) Select the 3rd option "Generate Tasks by Total Hours" click on Run When you do that you will see the prompt come up. Enter any date and you will see the report. The report generated uses the results from the query and does not filter on the date selected in the form. This is what I have been struggling to fix since yesterday but have reached nowhere..

I have designed a datasheet in a subform and it has a nested datasheet inside of it. I have it all designed and now I want to disable the user from doing anything to either, such set column widths, set colours etc. How would I do that?
My database is slowly coming together. For the final part of this phase i would like to create a shortcut on each users desktop which runs a summary report of information within my database.
I have criteria set so upon opening the report the user is asked for which address they wish to see information from which works great. But I do not want users to have access to the database, I just want them to be able to click a shortcut, be asked what address they are looking for and for the report to ping up in a 'Print Preview' type layout so information can be seen and displayed but not altered. All users have the access program.
This application has worked fine in the past, but now I find it stops cold saying a particular linked table is read-only. I've looked around and all I can find in the various forums is how to MAKE a table read-only. Reversing that process seems very difficult.
The application is a copy of another that now exhibits the same problem. Each uses a different data mdb - part of the development I'm doing involves changing a different table. I'm developing changes to the application in this separate copy.
I can't tell if other tables would have this problem - the table in question is the very first used (initialization routine) and I can't get past it without deactivating a bunch of code.
I have following Fields. Allocation ID(PK), HW ID, User ID, HW Status, Assigned Date.
Values of HW Status = Active, Inactive, Decom, In Stock etc.
What I want is explaind below example
HW XXX is allocated to User ABC and the Status is Active.
Now When I want to reallocate the same HW XXX to Another User XYZ then Make the current status as Active. But before doing that the form should force me to change the Status of previous allocated to user ABC to anything other than active. Because One Device can be active to only one user at a time.
i,e Combination of HW ID & HW Status(Active Only) should not be duplicated.
I have a database and one of the functions is to track the purchase of fuel. Part of purchasing fuel is registering what the current odometer reads. My query gets the Vehicle ID, Date of Transaction and Odometer reading. I want to show a report that shows how many miles the vehicle is has traveled for a certain amount of time. If it's for 2013 then I'll put the criteria for 2014 in the date. This will give me a list of all vehicles and their odometer readings. I then sort the date by ascending.
In the report I group on vehicle ID and then I want to show all their transactions and add up how many miles were driven.
Vehicle 1
1/2/201 1/5/2013 1/15/2013 ETC... Total Miles Driven in 2014: XXXXXX
hi, i have a query which when the user selects a value in a combo box it pulls up the other details of the item, such as price.
i have noticed though that if i try and enter a new item into the list, through the combo on the form and then enter a price, it gives me error 3101 (something to do with not being able to find the record.
i assume this is because it is trying to locate the chosen item of data within the main table and pull up a price.
The program I am working with has an option to add a new record to another table using a button. Not all the records, even new ones, need to be appended.
The append query works fine in all situations but one--when a new record is entered and saved, the append query button returns 0 records to be appended. However, if you go to a different record and come back to the one just added in the main table, the append query works fine. The query uses a TempVar to select only the record being seen at the time. The TempVar is declared prior to attempting to append the record to the other table.
Is there a way to make a just entered record act like its been around for a bit (well at least to save it by changing record to another and back)?
I have a process that lifts a highlighted date from a List Box and puts it in the Criteria of a query. The process manages to move the numbers from one place to another, but ends up giving me a data mismatch in the query. The process is as follows

[Code] ....
The Immediate debug shows...

I've created a student database with multiple tables that all relate to my primary table. I do not want anyone adding new student records to the primary table, so to make it as user-friendly as possible, I've created a form for entering new records. This form is based on a query that shows all the student information (from all tables) and now I find I cannot add new records. Is it possible to use a form based on a query for data entry? Or do I need to instead base the form on my primary table?
