i am creating a report in access, but it shows a few titles without data in front, cause i left the fields blank in the table, is there anyway of making these titles visible only when some data is inserted and remain hidden when the fields are empty..
View RepliesI have an unbound form with an associated report. When the user hits the 'print' button on the form/screen, the report is launched in the background. In the On Load event of the report I populate the report fields from the forms field as so:
Code:
Me.txtAddrMainLine2 = "NAME " & UCase([Forms]![frm_OrderRx].[txtPatientName])
This works like a charm as long as I call the report in Print Preview mode (i.e. with acViewPreview). But if I send the report directly to the printer, none of the fields print.
I've read about using other report events to populate the fields (e.g., On Format and On Print) and also something about using TempVars to pass the data. But I haven't read anything that's clear and definitive about the full answer.
Hi, (sorry to be cross-posting, but I didn't get any response from Modules and VBA)
I've messed something up, I think. But I'm not sure if I messed up VB or some connection in Access.
The Symptoms: I've got a print page with checkboxes that represent other form pages in my db.
The page basically prints ok, except where field information is supposed to be.
Wherever there should be field info, it prints #Name? instead. Each field can't seem to find it's info.
The funny thing is that the information displays correctly in the form onscreen.
Just not when I print.
Basically someone else wrote the the Print code and I've been hacking away to make this code work for 3 new forms (e.g. 3 new checkboxes).
While I'm not terribly familiar with VB, I know my way around script and I'm pretty sure I haven't really messed up that code.
How I got there:
At one point in my building of this thing, every time I went to open the 'print' page, I would get an error and drop into VB.
Well, this was driving me nuts, and at that point I hadn't altered the code. I was just trying to view the print page. So, I cleverly pasted into VB the code from an earlier version of the db. This cleared up the debug error nicely, and I was able to finish the code that would allow me to choose 3 new pages to print. But now it's doing the symptom above.
Any help would be appreciated.

I created a form I have some fields that wount print from the form or when I do a report.
control source field name
control source type value list
row source ;1;2;3;4;5
This field will display data in form view but will not print the field when I try to print the form. When I set up the report the same way nothing will print.
What am I doing wrong.

The officers enter the date and the total number arrested for each charge. I want to print a monthly report. How do I make the report print this information for a specific date range? The way I have it now, it asks for the startdate and enddate, but it still totals every record, not just the date range.
I have 3 fields Yes/No.
A B C
To be in order it is necessary that: A , B and C = Yes.

A = Yes, B=No and C = No

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a time and billing database that contains a form where the user enters a beginning date and an end date and then must enter an invoice number. All this information will appear in the header of a report. The invoice number will always be different. How can I get the invoice number to print on the report? The beginning and ending date is working just fine, but I can't get the invoice number to print. I think I need to have whatever number is entered to be temporarily stored to a table, but I am not sure at all. I would appreciate any help given.
Thanks.
Is there a way to get information in the print dialog box (File -> Print)? Like when i click ok or cancel? Or any other way that i will be able to know that the report is sent to printer or being printed.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am getting two different results when I preview or print a report. When I preview a report the report title and page title are populated with the strings I built and assigned to global variables. In the report load event the GVs are assigned to the text boxes. Everything works great. If I hit the print icon while previewing the report, those text boxes are populated with the right strings. The problem is I have the option to send the report directly to the printer without previewing it, using the code below.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport Report, acViewNormal, , , acHidden
When this is executed, the report title and page title text boxes are blank. I have put a debug.print (the 3 GVs) in the load event and it spits out the three strings, but the actual printout has no titles. The bound data always prints, but these unbound text boxes fail. I have even copied the string assignment to the open event and that did not work.
When data is input to my form and when i click on preview report, the preview report displays all results (my report source is from my query). However when I click on print preview a portion of data is missing. Basically is the check boxes I have in the report. They all are grayed out. These check boxes are unbounded and not related to the query. Basically I have an event procedure created upon clicking print preview as follows:
Private Sub PreviewMRO_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptMRODataEntry", acViewReport
If MROReason = "Repair" Then
[Code] ....
The selections are all drop down boxes in the form and upon selection it will populate the text boxes in my report. It seems to work perfectly upon clicking the preview report button but when I click on print preview the check boxes are grayed out.

I've inherited an Access 2000 database that is used to enter and print various types of data. I am using Access 2010 and when I open it I am in a forms view for the main user interface. I want to see and/or edit the objects that make up this database but I can't find a way to see them. The navigation pane is not visible and using F11 doesn't open it. How can I see the database objects?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.

I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.

If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.
Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product
Unit
Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT
Grasshopper Box1000 Adult
Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult
Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?

Hello Tech gurus,
I have a database with existing data, that is not normalized, :eek: and all the data is in one field... This what I am dealing with:
As you notice the first row of data in field1 C10A CHOLEST&TRIGLY has 3 spaces to the right the next row ALTORVASTIN has five spaces to the right, the next line LIPITOR has 7 spaces to the right, and so forth, hopefully you get at what I am trying to do, I just looked at the data and it is not showing up in view of the leading spaces, but I am trying to move the data based ONLY on the position of leading spaces, example all data that has 3 leading spaces would go into its own separate column, and all data that has 7 leading spaces would go into a separate column, I have tried to use the left, mid, len functions but I cannot figure out how to move the text and keep it whole only by data position of spaces.
Field1:
C10A CHOLEST&TRIGLY
ATORVASTATIN
LIPITOR
PFIZER
SIMVASTATIN
SIMVASTATIN TEVA

Hello there, I'm having a problem very much like the one described by this user (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113742&highlight=SQL+blank+spaces) where an SQL statement I am using to read data from one table and copy it to another is filling the remaining field space with blanks.
I didn't notice until a VBA module I worked on later on which was to read data from the new table and copy the selected record into a form said it could not find the records. The code:
Do Until blnFound = True Or rs.EOF
'DEBUG: answer = MsgBox("ok", vbYesNo)
'DEBUG: MsgBox rs("Account Name")
If rs("Account Name") = strAName Then
MsgBox "DEBUG: FOUND " & rs("Account Name")
blnFound = True
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
The record selector just goes straight to EOF because rs("Account Name") never matches strAName (as strAname has all those damned spaces after the useful data).
I wondered if perhaps there was some way to use the code in the other thread to read the length of useful data and then chop off the garbage spaces afterwards, but I'm worried it would be incredibly slow when running through the thousands of records. Also, the field has legitimate spaces in between words (most of the account names are two or three words in length).
The SQL statement responsible is as follows:
strASQL(i) = "INSERT INTO " & strTableName & "([CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3])" & _
" SELECT [CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3] " & _
"FROM tblCustomer WHERE [" & strField(i) & "] LIKE '" & strValue(i) & "';"
strASQL, strField and strValue are arrays and this SQL statement runs in a loop, as this is part of a search form for multiple possible entries. It all works fine except it always adds those damned spaces :D
Any suggestions?? Cheers.
I have this table filled with patient information. I imported the
excel file into textPad, then to Access and I have a little problem.
There are 2 fields that contain Patients name because the names are too
long. How I know where each patient name is because in another field
their is the word Patient, then the next two fields are there name.
Example:
Fields: ServiceDate, PayerID, ServType
Data: Patient, (Lahrmer,), Frances L
03/12/06, WEEK, OT Yaha
The Service Date field is filled with dates, until you reach the next
patient in which it has "Patient" in the field. Same for the PayerID &
ServType!
*Some of the Patients name are in the PayerID field, but others that
are longer are in both!
Question!
How do I get the Patient Name from the PayerID & ServType fields and
put them into a field in the table called PatientName? There are 16,000
records, so typing is not an option!
Thanks in advance!! :D
Any Ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
