I am very experienced in Word and Excel but completely new to Access.
I have constructed an Access database containing a list of volunteers and the times at which they have volunteered.
The Reports I have written are very basic but function as intended. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif
:)
However the lines of data on the Report print outs are spaced too widely. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif
:confused:
I can't find anything in "access reports 2010" which allows me to adjust the line spacing. The default spacing is "huge", yet line spacing is set at 0cm.
Quick note: line spacing is the distance between detail lines.
I have a sub-report and the last row is highlight, however, there seems to be extra spacing after the last row. I removed all report/page header/footer so all what's left is the Detail section but I still have this white space after the last row.
I have to print address labels. 10 x 3.8 cm labels 2 per row 14 per page on an A4 paper. Pretty straightforward one should say. But no. I play around with the margins, column heights and widths, row and column spacing page size wasting time. Is there a hidden and not documented relationship between those elements? For example how is the column height and row spacing linked together? How is this normally done in a professional way?
Sorry if you guys have covered this before but I am having no luck with this one. Trying to do a simple database with player information and a picture to go with that player, I can not get the picture to show up in the report, just the path shows up. The picture is stored on local drive. Any basic help is greatly appreciated
I’m completely stumped … could be because its so late or my brain has just decided to give up on me!
Short of not going into too much detail, could someone advise … does one HAVE to create a query in order to create a report based on a form OR can one create a report based solely on a form?
using Access 2000.I have a table with fields (image, info1, info2, info3).I want to produce a report where 15 records are displayed in a table like manner. each table cell contain the whole record and the table is 5 rows by 3 columns.
When you create a column chart and then change one of the series to a line, how can you then apply formatting to that line? I've attached a stripped down database showing what I'm trying to do. Series 1 shows individual monthly values (percentages) and series 2 shows the target which is 80% for each month.
The problem is that although I can apply formatting to the column series, I can't see any way of selecting the line series so I can set the formatting I want. I'm using Access 2003, on Win XP Professional, in case that's important.
I can not get a line graph inserted into a report by using the Wizard. I have 2 columns of paired data that I want to graph. I dragged the 2 columns to the "Data" control in the wizard and changed summarizing for both columns from "sum" to "none".
When I look at the report in Print Preview, the data points are stacked vertically in the center of the graph and the "Series" box displays what looks like the data. If I add a Date/Time column as the X-axis, I am told that I have to summarize the data, something I don't want to do.
I've made various selections using the wizard and all fail.
I am creating a database and need to produce a report that will form an itemised quotation.There can be up to 8 items on the quotation along with their associated costs to the customer. I am trying to make the "item" field dynamically expand if necessary when longer text is entered into it and then expand the corresponding "Totals" fields to match the new size.I have tried using the "Can Grow" property however for some reason the formatting does not cascade down to the fields below and the "Totals" fields remain the same size.
To try and explain better I have included a screen shot of the relevant part of the report and how it looks when printed. I should point out that the "QuotesQuote" box at the top of the screen is set to "Can Grow" and when that expands the boxes below automatically move to accommodate this.
The detail section has these lines...first line exits for all students, other 2 lines optional. Each line includes data from each of the 3 views:
Demograhic and bus/route information Special needs information Additional text information
Each student may have multiple lines in the detail section, one for pickup route, one for drop-off route and possible other routes.
Using VBA and the On Format event of the Detail Section, I have formatted the report to not display repeating information (not apply to use "Hide duplicates" feature) and not display either/both of the optional lines in the detail section.
All works well except that on the first line of each subsequent page, most of the data is missing. I have stepped through using the debugger and see that the data is returned by the query, but not displayed on the report.
Each new row of record needs to have their own line item number starting from 1 with criteria if order number is the same then carryover line item number on that record. I know how to get line item starting from 1 to last by assigning unbound control field with entry "=1".
I want to be able to take two separate queries to create a 2 line graph. Also to be able to spice the graphs up some. The ones I have done, single line, even seems dull.
I created a form with a memo field. Data is entered. How do I get the data to print on the report on separate lines rather than one continuous paragraph? For example: Entered in form:
2/1/15 visit to house. 2/2/15 ordered new locks for doors. 2/5/15 Locks installed.
Print view on Report:
2/1/15 visit to house. 2/2/15 ordered new locks 2/5/15 locks in stalled.
I created a report that only has gridlines around the outside border of the entire report (rather than around each record). I want the grid line style on the last/bottom record to be solid so it boxes in all the records. When I change the "Gridline Style Bottom" for the records, each record has a bottom gridline rather than an outside box around all the records.
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
I have a main report / subreport relation, just want to have a fixed length of each printout. e.g the total number of lines of the subreport should be 8 lines. However, lots of subreports contain records less than 8. I would like to know how to insert of blank line in the subreport depending on the records with content at each print, in order to make the total number of lines in each subreport is 8 each print!!
Using a Microsoft Chart Object 6.0 in an Access 2010 report. It's easy enough to do the basics and that chart responds to data.In my case, I have 12 lines, or columns, being controlled by data. It responds to the data. just fine. What I want to do is control the line weight and colour of each line through VBA.
You can click on the chart itself on the report form, but formatting the line you actually want is almost impossible. Pretending we can, you get the pop-up configuration windows and the TAB "PATTERNS". Under that, you can select "LINE" and then choose the style, color and weight. This is what I need to do in VBA.
Lines like this do not work:Graph_Data.Columns("A").Line.Weight = 5 or... objDataSheet.Columns("A").Line.Weight = 5I tried a variety of versions of that and am pulling my hair out.
I'm creating a query which pulls together the numerical values of 32 separate fields. Each field has the potential to have a value in it ranging between 1 and 9, but most fields will be blank.
I want to prefix the value (if the value is not null) with a 2 or 3 character-long code relating to the field name.I then want to combine them all together in a query so I can easily copy and paste the output to a spreadsheet.Here is what I have so far, with just 9 of the field names, and it's already looking a bit clunky.
If i simply remove the GROUP BY line and stick the semicolon at the end of the previous line (.EmpID; ) it works just fine. How is adding a group by line causing an error?I tried adding another parenthes at the beginning ((( and ending the joins as EmpID); and that failed with the exact same error.
