I have a form that has tabs on it. I have a list box on one of the tabs linked to a query, trying to show only those records that go with the person's name on the header of the form.
Example in query:
=[forms]![frmContacts]![Page]![4].[id] -- [id] is the person number.
This is were I get confused on how to identify the correct tab and make the data only show up for that person.
I have a report which includes several subreports. There will be times when a subreport prints partially on one page and completes on the next. I don't always want to break to a new page with this subreport. However, I would want to break to a new page if the subreport cannot fully print on the current page.
I have a report that lists states and cities within the states. When a state name happens to be at the end of the page the individual cities appear on the next page with no State heading. I solved the second page problem by setting the "repeatSection = Yes" in the Section Header (though I haven't shown that in the example below).
But the previous page (which just shows the State Name and no cities looks dumb. Is there some sort of solution.?? (Actually I would also like any State that continues to a next page to not just have the state name but something like " Colorado (Continued)" Is there anything I can do in VB to make a page break if the section is going to print but therer isn't enough room for one detail line?
This is what I currently see
Alaska Ancorage Prudo Bay
California Whittier Anaheim
Colorado ------------------------Page Break --------------------------------- Denver Pueblo Colorado Springs
If I have a report and it has controls (labels representing column titles) in the page header. Now when I print the report - if it happens that the last page has no detail records - but there is text boxes and so forth in the report footer. Is there a way to not display the page header on the last page?
I have a report where the last page shows the page header - and the field/column labels on the page header - but for which there is no detail records left to display - on the last page. There is report footer information that should display. It just looks weird because the field/column labels show at the top of the page - but there is no data remaining to print under them on that last page.
I have a data access page needs a filter by a dropdownlist, the dropdownlist used is a html control and I use javascript to filter the data programmaticlly in the onchanged event of the control.
MSODSC.DataPages(0).Recordset.Filter="AppID = 3";
My problem is, when this statement runs, the page refreshes. But I don't need the page refreshes, it set the dropdownlist text to the default text, not the value user select. The browser is IE7.
I have one-page forms which print a second page, blank except for a block of grey shading at the top. I have tried moving the content of the form up but that doesn't eliminate the second page. If I look at print preview, every second page of the entire database shows up as blank, regardless of where that happens to appear in the record.
I am trying to create an invoice report. I want to add all the costs from the detail section in my footer. I have accomplished this in either the Report footer and/or the page footer, but the problem is that the report footer doesn't go to the bottom of the page, and the page footer doesn't go to just the last page. I have tested a bunch of suggestions that don't seem to work.
1. Print page footer with Report header = NO - only works if your report is two pages or more.
2. Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Page = Pages Then Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = True Else Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = False End If End Sub
The Page functions worked, but it did not change the results from page to page. If it was a two page report, then the if statement is false and the text box was not visible on page 1, but it also was not visible on page 2.
to automatically create a second, third, fourth... page depending on how many characters are in the narrative. The only other thing needed to be changed is the page# of Page#.
I have added the Allen Browne Calendar 2k control to my form.
My form consists of 4 pages. On pages 2 and 3 I have subforms and on page 4 I have Personal data. Page 1 is general data and the Calendar is on Page 1.
What is happening is that the Calendar is also being displayed on my 4th page, in the same position as page 1. When I try to move it, cover it or delete it from page 4, it is also gone from page 1.
I've used the following code on the footer on print procedure:
Private Sub PageFooterSection_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer) Me.PageFooterSection.Visible = (Me.[Page] = 1) End Sub
This works fine when you view it in print preview, but the footer don't show up at all when you actually print it.The reports default view itself is set print preview.
I have a form with six tabbed pages on it. Since data entry follows in a logical order I would like to put a command button on the bottom of each page (subform) that can be used to go to the next page. What I am going to though? If i put a command button (open form) then it opens the whole form not as a subform on a tabbed page. if I try and put a command button (open page) then it will not let me enter the page number. Hope that makes sense! Any ideas
I have seen large projects in which there are clearly several printed database reports printed out to make one booklet.
1. How does one get page numbers for multiple reports to go in sequence instead of starting over again at 1 for each report.
2. How can you add a page reference in one report to something in another report?
Do you have to do these things by hand or is there a way to create a something with auto numbering capabilities? Do you do it by importing the reports to MS Word and creating a master document?
I created a help file for a using a db I created, though I am thinking it would be nice to have it "look more professional" something similar to the Contexts and Index help option found in IE.
I am think a form would be the easiest to do with a subform for each element in the contents, so when the user clicks on an element on left form (which is the contents) the detail of that page appears in the right form the subform (perhaps just using the visible property)
There are tab options for a form so I can use that to make the contents, Index, search, favorites
some questions come to mind though... 0) how would I create collapsible menu (like a tree menu) see the contexts and Index help option found in IE. 1) how to create a search field to look for anything in the db except the code (i.e. part of a record, a description of the record, etc.) ? 2) how would I create a favorites section (a place to save help topics viewed) ? 3) how do i create a navigation system (back and forward through the subforms) - it seems I would need to track which forms are displayed and when then use that to navigate back and forward ? 4) how create various options such as stop or refresh search queries, and perhaps turning on/off select highlight
Finally is there something similar to this already out there that I can just customize various options off of, perhaps even a tutorial.
thanks for any direction you might be able to provide.
When I load a spreadsheet I can't add an index because it is a linked table, so I want to save it in MDB format so that I can add an index and then export it to SQL. However, when I save the file as an MDB file the data is all still linked as a spreadsheet and I still can't add an index. (I would add the index at the last step in SQL, but Pervasive SQL is very temperamental.)
Basically I just want to export an Excel spreadsheet into SQL and add an index.
Can anyone tell me why access puts the primary key field in the index list twice for the same table? For example i have a primary key called CustID, when i go into design view and click on the index button on the toolbar, i see it listed twice, once as primary key and then again as its own field?! I dont see the reason for this but often times with many of my databases i see this happen to many of my tables. :confused:
Have the situation where a database backend is on a number of sites and if changes have to be made to the design structure of the backend database I would like to run a VB generated report to check that all indexes are correct. While this is not an issue with single field indexes, I have issues with multi field indexes.
Don’t Understand why , tab index change’s All 55 fields are in the same order as the tables. The field is custname the frist fiels. Go to my Customer form Thery are 55 fields, The frist field is ( custname ) I go to the properties Then I go to tab index And I type in 1 Then I exit. Save form Then I open the form and the cursor is not on the frist field ( custname ) I go back to the properties And back to tab index Now it is 44 I have don e this procedure several times. And the tab index changes sometimes it is 44 , sometimes it is 49 And other times it is 36. How can I keep the fields in the same order that I set up the tables..??? What can i do about this. John527
