I am producing some reports for an existing business system. I have a copy of the Access database and am working with that. When the reports are complete, how do I export them to the 'live' site? I do not have direct access to the company network. Can I email the reports, or put them on a CD, to be imported to the live site?
View RepliesHi there,
Once I have an Access report in the preview on the screen, I "export" it to Excel, using the built in Menu Symbol Option (analyse in Excel). It exports all the columns of the report perfectly, except for Dates. Here it doesn't just change the format - but shows ######## in the Excel column. When I click in the cell,it says "Negative Dates and Numbers are shown as ####". Any way I can stop this happening? I don't mind what format the date is in, in Excel, as long as it's readable!
Thanks a lot

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,

I have a Report that contains, among other things, Pictures & Check Boxes. When I try to export into a Word (.rtf) document,the Data exports just fine, but the pictures & check boxes are lost. Is there a way to export the Report into Word keeping all formatting intact?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my database I would like my report to run every 30 seconds and export that data to a text file. I am not sure if that is best with a Do While or Do Until.
What I am looking to accomplish is to populate a map with data from the data base report. it needs to rerun the report and write the text file every 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Any help with the coding would be greatly appreciated.
I am exporting queries to Excel using a Form with command buttons. The code for this effort follows:
Private Sub Command8_Click()
Dim reportName As String
Dim theFilePath As String
Select Case Me.Frame1.Value
Case 1
reportName = "qryPriorMnth"
Case 2
reportName = "qryNewRequests"
Case 3
reportName = "qryNoApprovals"
End Select
theFilePath = Me.txtFilePath.Value
theFilePath = theFilePath & reportName & "_" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".xls"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, reportName, theFilePath, True
MsgBox "Done."
End Sub
The code works great, however, I will be making this available to several users who will use access from differenct PCs. In order for them to get the data passed to their respective desktops, they would have to change the Me.txtfilePath.Value in the properties manaually. This is currently in the Row.Source for an unbound text box. I would prefer them not messing with that. The current value is
="C:Documents and Settings’User_ID’Desktop"
where the User_ID (varies from user to user) would need to be changed. Can this be done with a variable setting that would prompt the user for their User_ID and then execute to the appropriate desk top. I am a VBA novice and would appreciate any help at all.
Thanks

I have a report that has a group sort and page break after each area. What I'd like to do is export each area as it's own individual PDF report (preferably as an automated process).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a report (Access 2007) with subreports that is being exported to pdf. It all works fine on PC except for on a virtualbox and a laptop. When the user exports the report to pdf, it leaves some subreports blank! If the report is opened in the DB it pulls data as it should and all looks fine.
In the report, the missing data is from 4 subreports in the same top section of the report where a 5th subreport also resides. Subreport 5 is displayed OK. There is no dynamic formatting nor filtering in the reports.
These two machines had to have the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF installed for the PDF export to work at all. Both machines are up-to-date on the latest windows updates. The virtual box runs XP while the laptop runs Windows 7.
This is the strangest error I have ever encountered as it only partially fails and it cannot be replicated on a regular PC.
I have become stuck with an issue which I am sure is entirely my fault. I am trying to create/modify a macro for a field ([cx_ref]) on a report (Upholstery_orders), so that when a particular record is clicked, it uses the data in that specific record and field to open another report (works_orders), based on said data.
So far the only headway I could make was to create a macro that opened an intermediate form with a combo box displaying every record in [cx_ref]. I'm not a huge fan of this method as any user would have to either memorise then type, or scroll down thousands of records in order to locate the correct one, select it and then click a button to open the "works_order" report.
A macro (or code) that could take one from the original report, using the data in the 'clicked' box/field on the form, and open the second report without having the input the data again. Short of being able to do this, any way to simply export the selected field so that it appears on the intermediate form (without the need to select or type it again), be that in the combo box or in a box of its own.
I have a report that is opened via a Form that lets the user choose a date to filter the report. The report opens in Print Preview mode.
What I'm attempting is to give the user an easy way to export the report once they've verified the report is accurate.
One way I've tried to do this was to use the OnClose event to execute a vbYesNo MsgBox giving them the option to export. The problem here is that I can't do the export while the report is closing.
Code:
Run-time Error '2585': This action can't be carried out while processing a form or report event.
I tried to move my MsgBox to the OnUnload so that could cancel the Unload, but was met with the same results.
Code:
Private Sub Report_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Response
Response = msgbox("Do you want to save a copy of this log?", vbYesNo, "Export to PDF")
If Response = vbYes Then
Cancel = True
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptWatchLog", acFormatPDF
End If
End Sub
Some research indicates perhaps the DoCmd.OutputTo is happening to quickly. Would including some type of pause in the code execution between the Cancel = True and the DoCmd solve my problem? Though frankly, even if it did it doesn't feel very elegant. I also recognize that I'd need to reinitiate the Unload>Deactivate>Close process after the export completed.
I initially began by having an Export Command Button on the form they use the choose a date, but was unable to have the exported report honor the user supplied filter from that form.
Here is the code from that form that is applying the filter:
'Open Watch Log Report with chosen date as filter
Private Sub cmdOpen_Click()
'use date even though it's not saved anywhere
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False

My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon
Export from print preview
Export via macro
Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.
Update: I copied the database to my local PC and when I export the XLS file it opens in protected view.
Hello All,

What I want to do is to export about 300 rows of records at a time from a table to a text file (text001.txt). The next 300 will be in text002.txt and so forth.
What I am doing right now is -- I am looping through all the fields [rs(0)-rs(50)], put in a variable and then print to the text file then go to the next row.
Is there a way to print the whole row to a text file instead of looping through all the fields then print it.
Thanks.

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can get a table thats been sorted by a specific field to export to .txt in its sorted format? For some reason whenever I have it sorted by one field and save its new formatting, it exports sorted by another field. Keep in mind it exports the way the table was originally sorted when it was first created.
Anything?

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any way to export email addresses held within an access database to Outlook, using office 2000?
I work for a small charity who have a very large contacts database in access, but are now starting to send some of our info electronically and it would be a major time saver if we could send email addressed directly to outlook.

I am exporting a table into a text file. I have an intrest rate that is formatted in the table as as five characters past the decimal point xx.xxxxx. However, when I export it to a text file, I loose my 3rd through 5th position. Any ideas on how I can export to text and still keep all five positions past the decimal? The field is currently formatted as a double number in Access. Thanks for your input.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI often have to export data from a table to a .csv (text) format. It is very important that the data remains in the right order. I even add an indexed auto number to ensure this happens. Sometimes, but not always, the data gets out of order. Not completely scrambled but chunks of records just in the wrong place.
Has anyone come across this before or got any idea what causes it?
