Modules & VBA :: Report Name As Variable
Nov 6, 2013
I have some code that will allow a user to pass to it the name of a report. The code will do various things to that report before presenting it for Preview, opening in Word etc.
At one point in the code I would like to refer to some control or property of the report. If I was to include this directly for one report, I might type:
Reports!Annual_Budget_Report.Recordsource = xyz
But instead of a specifc report, it would be the report as a variable (srReport_Name). However, if I type:
Reports!stReport_Name.Recordsource
The code complains, rightly, that there isn't a report called stReport_Name. The stReport_Name variable is currently set as String. I *think* the answer might lie in the variable type, but I'm still struggling.

I use a macro that attaches a document automatically to an e-mail address ready to send this report is governed by a query of which the criteria is " loss order number " this is in a pdf format of which I need if possible
The problem I have is the same pdf file keeps attaching itself to the e-mail no matter which loss order number I select. The reason I think is because the report is called NCR so it is not changing from the previous one. What I think can solve it but not sure and don't know how to do is get the " loss order number " within the report name.
If I just send the report to a file direct it does work as I am prompted for a file name
Can the loss order number get into the file name within a macro/vba
Code:
Name="EMailDatabaseObject
Name="ObjectType">Report
Name="ObjectName">SEND NCR
Name="OutputFormat">PDF Format (*.pdf
Name="To">=[E-mail Address] & IIf(Nz([E-mail Address

Error 91 - Object variable or With block variable not set
I am getting this error telling me that an object variable is not set.
I know which variable it is but when I step through the debugger it sets the variable and all is fine? Issue is that public variable of a class is not getting set when the VBA Editor is not open?

I look at a lot of files to see when they were last updated. I wanted to write a generic procedure to manage that so ..
Code:
Public fDate As Variant
Public vField As String
Public vFile As String
'GTSdata
vField = "txt_gts_data"
[Code] ....
What I hoped Me.vField would do is update the date field [txt_gts_data] on my form with the date the file was last saved.
i.e. me. txt_gts_data = fDate
What actually happens is the variable vfield gets updated from "txt_gts_data" to 19/08/2014 then later code falls over because the fieldname is lost .
Me.[vField] corrects itself to me.vField (and does not work)
Me!vfield falls over (cannot find the field vField, not surprising J)
How do I say update the contents of the variable, not the variable itself?

I have a report that looks at a query. The base data contains a field called 'functlocation'. Now this data can vary in length and looks something like the following
12080026335PDPV5448-1
12080025507PUMP
12080004003BUILDINGS
12081925507PUMP
12081925507PUMP
Now the first 6 digits represent a particular building no. There are actually 6 buildings. When I run the report I am trying to get the report only to show all tasks against 120819 but with a wildcard at the end. I created a mini table with the 6 building numbers in, but i can't work out how to incorporate the wildcard into a parameter query.
regards
vipa:)

I have a form with 5 buttons on it. Each button is meant to select a warehouse location, so a query can be run to give an inventory report for that location. There is a separate query for each button and the OnClick event does properly modify the recordsource to give the appropriate data to the report for the location selected.
To this functionality I want the OnClick event VBA to pass the warehouse location to a textbox on the report, so the title of the report reflects that inventory location.
My code thus far is:
Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim mySQL As String
Dim WHSE As String
mySQL = "SELECT [Master Part List].[Part Number], [Master Part List].Category, [Master Part List].Description, [Master Part List].MaterialCost, [Master Part List].Inventory, [Master Part List].Update, [MaterialCost]*[Inventory] AS [Total Cost], [Master Part List].Warehouse"
[Code] ....
When I get the report, the textbox is empty, instead of containing the text value for the warehouse location.

I have now a report that span around 2 pages. It has subreports in the report that depening how many rows there are they can grow or shrink.I have the problem that the second page the top margin is to close to the top of the pager. The paper has a logo on the right top side. I can make the first page look nice under the logo, but the second page prints to close to the edge that prints over the logo. I did add a page break, but when the page 1 has more data, it flushes this to the next page. The page 2 is now page 3. How can I avoid that, or make it so that the margin of the second page/next page is on the correct lenght of the top. I tried it with the page setup, but it does not work.

In the detail section of my report, I recently added a second row which has only 1 text field. When the value of the textbox in the 2nd row is null, I want the total row height equal to just the first row. When the value in the textbox in the 2nd row is not null, then the total row height is equal to row 1 and 2. I tried to make the textbox in the second row invisible when it had a null value thinking that when it was null, the report would shrink to the first row height, but that didn't seem to work.

I have a subroutine that successfully builds a SQL statement "strSQL", which is a public variable.
Using msgbox, I can read that the value is correct -
SELECT * from tblIncidents WHERE [Nature] = 'Hover';
(The select statement may be complex, e.g. [Nature] = 'hover' AND [COLOUR]= 'Blue' AND [GRADE] = 'High')
I want to pass the variable strSql to my report rptIncident in the following command:
Private Sub CmdPrintReport_Click()
If Right(strsql, 1) <> "'" Then 'check if statement was built
Else
strsql = strsql & ";" 'add trailing ; to statement
MsgBox strsql
DoCmd.OpenReport "tblincidents", acViewNormal, , strsql
End If
End Sub
I get a flashing error, then runtime error 3075 - |1 in query expression '|2'.

If I set a variable inside of a subroutine, it is set to nothing upon the end of the sub. Can I set a variable outside a sub and set its value, so that you can use it within subs?

I have an application where several different procedures are run repeatedly every xx seconds to get live updates from a server (different procedures depending which form the user currently has open.) Within each procedure, a separate single procedure is called only if a stored boolean setting is set as true. The setting itself is only changed very infrequently, such as on application startup, but needs to be initially set (i.e. it cannot just have a default of False if it is not set.)Because of this I am storing the setting in a single record table and have a function 'UsingWPilot' to return the boolean value. However, given the frequency that the setting needs to be accessed, and the fact that speed is crucial in the running of the app, I am considering adding a global string variable and modifying the function to look at the variable (possible values 'N' and 'Y') and only going to the table if the variable has not been set.
I have heard various things about how you should never if possible use global variables. My question is: is it faster to use a global variable than to open the table record each time?
option 1 :
Code:
Public Function UsingWPilot() As Boolean
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("rbl_Settings_System")
Option 2:
Code:
Public Function UsingWPilot() As Boolean
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
If Len(g_WPilot) > 0 Then
UsingWPilot = (g_WPilot = "Y")
Else
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tbl_Settings_System")
[code]....

I am just in the middle of writting a little bit of code that will go through each record in a query and export it into a word table. It's in the early stages but all was working yesterday.

I have a form in which am gathering information from the user to populate a table(Customer Master List) and at the same time (btn_Copy_Click Event)transferring the info to another form(Case) populating another table(Customer_Call). It is working fairly well, My issue is that before transferring the info I need to run a check(SQL Query) to make sure the customer or actually the Well ID don't exist in the Customer_Call table. I am trying to do this in pieces .....
1) capturing the well_Id in a variable(WellID) in the first form and using that to build the sql string and query the Customer_Call table.
2)once that works place it in a if / else clause to copy or not with appropriate messages
With that I am stuck in step 1
It works up until Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL) the i get Run-time error '3061' Too few parameters. Expected 1.
Code:
Dim WellID As String
Dim strModel As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
WellID = Forms!f_Customer_Lookup.Well_ID
MsgBox WellID ' testing to see if it picks up the correct box in form
strSQL = "SELECT Customer_Call.[Cus_Well_ID] " & _
"FROM Customer_Call " & _
"WHERE Customer_Call.[Cus_Well_ID] = WellID;"
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
strModel = rst!Cus_Well_ID
rst.Close
MsgBox rst ' Testing to see if the strSQL captured the data
Set rst = Nothing
End Sub

I have the following simple variable assignment...
Dim PolRef As String
Let PolRef = Me.Policy_Ref_Num
But when I run my code I get "Invalid Use of Null" and PolRef is set to ""
This field is populated however, so I'm confused to why I cant set my variable to it.
If I don't use a variable and simply have let XXX = me.Me.Policy_Ref_Num then it still wont return the value from the field.

Why does this work when the text box is used and not when the variable is used directly?
Code:
Private Sub Command61_Click()
Dim strDBName As String
strDBName = getDBName()
Me.Text59 = strDBName
Me.Text62 = DLookup("[ModuleName]", "tblModule", "[DatabaseName] = text59")
'Me.Text64 = DLookup("[ModuleName]", "tblModule", "[DatabaseName] = " & strDBName)
'Me.Text64 = DLookup("[ModuleName]", "tblModule", "[DatabaseName] = strDBName")
'Me.Text64 = DLookup("[ModuleName]", "tblModule", "[DatabaseName]" = strDBName)
End Sub
Text62 returns the correct value
Text64 failes on everyone of the examples

I am trying to set the following variable that will be used to create a PDF file in an already existing folder and name the file WorkorderIDddmmyyyy-hhnnss.pdf
The following variable setting creates the filenameddmmyyyy-hhnnssWorkorderID.pdf.
mFilename = "C:RPR AccessPDF Reports Emailed" & Format(Now(), "ddmmyyyy-hhnnss") & WorkorderID & ".pdf"
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, mReportName, acFormatPDF, mFilename, True
I just can't figure out how to construct it correctly.
Also, is there a way to dynamically create a folder if the folder doesn't already exist? I currently hard code the folder name but would really like to create the folder name based upon some other variable.
