Our Access database reports work fine everywhere but on one Windows 2000 computer, and on this computer, only reports have a problem.
Normally, when a report (with currency values) is run, the underlying query asks for "Job Number", then "Part Number", then it runs the report. On this one computer, though, it also asks for "Format", as if the query is lacking something, whereupon the user hits <Enter> (for lack of knowing what to do), and the report appears. In this report, though, all currency values have "Error" in them instead of the numbers. All other computers (W2k, NT, XP) run this stuff fine.
What might be missing/messed up/screwy in this one computer?
I have a listbox that uses a query to reference a value in the current form. The problem is for some reason Access is trying to fill this listbox before even showing the form, so I get prompted to manually enter the query criteria when it should be picking it up from the form.
This is bizarre because it's only just started doing it. I've removed the listbox and created it again, but no help. I have listboxes such as this all over the place, but this particular one has just started playing up! Why?
Is it possible to create a query that asks for multi entries in one column .....
For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....
I have listbox based on a query and a textbox. When the user keys any value into the searchbox, the results of the query filter based on the value using a 'LIKE' query. I have been using this successfully to filter information based on either the first name or surname of clients.
I decided to add searching by full name. I built a simple expression in my query for strName -
strName: [FirstName] & " " & [Surname]
When I open the query, this displays the desired result - but when it is opened it also now prompts me for a 'strName' value.
Can anyone tell me why this is - and what I can do stop it prompting - as when the form is opened it asks me for this, and whenever a value is typed into the text box it requeries - also calling this dialogue.
On the opening of a form, I'd like to have an input box appear that asks the user for the account number but I'm stuck on the code to make this happen.
I have a bound form, in its heading I have a combo box which lists three choices. Basically I want to filter all my purchase records by checking a field PUOrderNb (Example: PO200100025) against the choice made in the combo box, namely DE (for demand), PO (for Purchase order) etc. On the after update event of the combo box, I have the following code:
Dim strfilter As String strfilter = " left ([PuOrderNb],2) like " & cboFilter.Column(1) Me.Filter = strfilter Me.FilterOn = True
When I make a choice in the combo box, I get a window asking me to enter a parameter value and it lists the value of the combo box choice as a sort of a title just above the white input fame.When I type in PO for instance, the program does correctly filter all order numbers starting with PO, but the whole point of having a combo box is not to have to type anything.The other odd thing is, when I change the choice in the combo box, after my first choice, I do not get this parameter question but nothing happens as to filtering. The first choice remains active.
I am wondering if it is possible to send a report as xls file and keep the format exactly as the report looks.When I try to send it now, it automatically changes back to the column names from the table, which I in the report have changed and want to keep in my excel output!
I have a database that tracks client contact and I have a report that I want to print that shows all the contact a rep has had with the client. I enter the start and end dates I want and the reps name and when I run the report its listed in date order so I might have Jane Doe - 10/1/06 then Jack Jones - 10/2/06 then Jane Doe - 10/3/06 (again) I want Jane Doe - 10/1/06 , 10/3/06 then Jack Jones - 10/2/06 and so on. I'm pulling the information from a query and when I run the query it displays it properly with all the Jane Doe records together but when I run the report is sorted by date. I am in the process of redoing this database and it's on the new one this happens on the old database it works like it's supposed to when I print/view the report.Any thoughts on where to check?Thanks,Rick
I would like my report to look like a table similar to the ones you can make in word or excel, with columns and rows and lines separating the entries both vertically and horizontally. I would like to make the size of my rows dynamic as they will re size to fit the largest entry in that row. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know ASAP.
I created a report using wizard and altered the parameters to what I need on my report and saved it as a new autoformat. The autoformat did not retain the parameter adjustments I made...only the basic format...no size changes...grouping I added ...a seperator line between the groups and the bound items I deleted that I did not want were still there. All I want to do is to be able to use the report format I created numerous times as it is without me having to go in and make adjustments with each query I pull a report from. There are several different query's with different tables involved. To sum it up one report format to use multiple times....Help Please!
I have a report that gets it's from / to dates from a dialog form that is open. This is working fine but I would like the date format in the report header to be 10 Mar 08 at the moment it is displayed at 10/3/08 how do I format this?
I have a unbound text box in the header with the following set as its control source =Forms!frmDialogEmpl!RepStartDate & " to " & Forms!frmDialogEmpl!RepEndDate
I have a beautiful report and when printed straight from access it has nice gridlines and even gridlines null fields (which I want). However when I export to excel all the fancy gridlines and bold fonts are lost. Is there a way I can get it to export to excel what I can print in access? I would like to be able to export to excel to add some extra rows before printing but not have to do all the formatting.
I've tried printing to word, same problem as excel. Tried printing a pdf and it looks exactly the same but I can't edit it to add the extra blank rows.
can't find how to add today's date to a report formatted as "August 30, 2014." I can't understand why that's not one of the options when inserting a date.
I am inserting a logo in jpeg format to a report. unfortunately the logo comes in very large. the frame around the logo can be adjusted but the image does not; it remains large.
Hi Please help me, I have the form, in this form there is list of value which run query and resulting the report. For example if I have 5 item in list, i have to choose one of then and the query running and the report is print preview.
My question is, How to export all 5 report to 5 sheet in one excel file. I know may be the problem in format if I send to excel, but I will fix it in the excel. The most important is, I export the report to excel, each of the report in each of sheet of excel.
URL...Essentially it seems like the format event fires only once with a docmd that has a where clause. If I print a single report it is perfect! Example one in the above post has a subreport, example 2 its very simply incorporated into the main report with no sub report.
I have a form that shows the data.All the date format display this kind of format " 12/17/1974".But when I export it to excel format.The date is displayed as "17-Dec-74".However, when i double click on the cell ,it will show "12/17/1974"...I want the date to displayed in excel -> "17-Dec-1974" or "dd-mmm-yyyy" how can i change the date format when manually formatting the date in excel .
I have a need to convert the export of an Access report to an ASCII file.
The export needs to have a specific format - described below:
Field Position | Field Length | Field Name | Field format
1-6 | 6 | Member # | text - right justified 7-12 | 6 | Trans Date | YYMMDD 13-15 | 3 | Pay code | Alpha/ NUM - Left 16-26 | 11 | Amount | -9999999.99 (*) 64-71 | 8 | Check # | Right
general comments and questions:
This report needs to interface with some sort of transaction accounting system - No Idea what it is, but this format of the report will interface.
The field positions go from 1 to 73. I need only supply the data above, so the check # is way out of sequence. Do I need to have the space inbetween "Amount" and Check Number in the report? Will a simple text file work with all the fieds together? or will I need the space in there? Is there a way to design a report in an ASCII format in access?
Specific Questions
I think I need to change the format of the amount and date fields. I am currently using the short date format 8/30/04, but need to return the date as YYMMDD - 040830. How can I change this format to reflect the ASCII format. The form is also set with the default "=Date()" so the user doesn't have to enter the date everytime - it can also be edited for older data. I would like the date to appear the way it is on the form 08/30/04 but get entered to the table as 040830. Is there a way to do that?
The amount field is odd - I'll include the exact criteria that is desired:
"All Amount Fields must be right justified and space filled. If the amount is a credit, show the "-" sign at the beginning of the number. Payment should be entered as positive amounts. If zero, assign the fied as 0.00 (space filled)"
Is this just a mask that needs to be added? Currently, The field shows $7.00 when 7 is entered to add cent, you must type in 7.50, tab will put in the "$". I need to get rid of the $ and space fill the field?
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
This works fine. The value is calculated correctly.
I now need to include the currency sign be it either € or £ in front of the value generated according to the state of Euro. If Euro is True then € if not True then £
Euro is set by clicking on one of two command buttons btnEuro or btnGBP.
Hi , I have the query written and produces the correct results , however I would like to limit the results to two decimal places. It wont allow me to change this in field properties. The seond expression which is $ value does have the options in field properties to limit decimal places.
Margin%: IIf([Sum Of USD Value]<=0,"",([Sum Of USD Value]-[Sum Of WIF])/[Sum Of USD Value])
Margin: [Sum Of USD Value]-[Sum Of WIF ]
Any ideas anyone , as the report looks rubbish showing something 10 digits after the decimal !!:confused:
i have several forms on my DB that are based on a select query's with a criteria of 'date' I have tried to set the format for this as 'short date' to avoid having to put in the / every time (this works on a report) but despite saving this format when i close the query the info is lost and so the format doesn't work. is there a way of formating this directly in the cel ie '[Date] format dd/mm/yy'
