When I print reports, Access is printing 2 pages per sheet, making the text VERY small. However, EVERY setting that I can find, whether the main printer setup or the Access program itself, shows that it's supposed to print only ONE per page.
The only program that this occurs with is Access. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? Thanks.
I have a report where the detail section, holding 4 subreports, takes up 5 inches in the middle of the page between the header and footer. We want the entire 5 x 8 area enclosed in a box on every page. I have tried to achieve this by putting a line in the Detail_Format section:
Code: boxDetail.Height = 5 * 1440 * Pages
However, when I run the report, I get pages 1/3 correctly, then 2/3 and 3/3 with no detail section or box, and then pages 4/3, 5/3, and 6/3 with blank detail sections and no box. If it's a 1-page report, the same - page 1/1 is perfect and page 2/1 is blank, no data and no box. I also sometimes (but not always) get overflow errors from the Detail_Format event.
I know it's not a margin error because that would be every other page, and the page count wouldn't be doing that. (Still, I have scrupulously checked every margin, and they all look fine.) Getting this look on the report is a priority. Any way to achieve the same result with the box without causing the missing data and extra pages?
I've got a report, which on the screen is three chrts and a page break in between. Page is set up to print landscape.
When I print the report or save to pdf it adds a lot of pages in between 2 and 3. It seems to be of chart no.2 getting smaller and smaller. I've attached a copy of the pdf so you can see what I mean.
I've been asked to make sure only certain users in my database are able to print anything (i.e. Administrators). Is there any option/property to do this?
I have already built in User Access controls using the ctl.Tag property. The only way I can think off the top of my head is when a 'general user' uses it, to ensure that every control is displayed 'on screen only'. This of course doesn't stop them printing - just makes them print blank pages!
I was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.
This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)
So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.
So all I had to do was say:
Code: PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)
and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!
See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.
Code: Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean Dim MyPrinter As Printer PrinterOK = False For Each MyPrinter In Printers If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then PrinterOK = True Exit Function End If Next End Function
I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.
I have a database with 4 tables One for agent info and 3 for property info. I have linked the agent table to the property tables. I need to setup a link for the agents. If I have an agent and they click on see my property, Do I have to have a page for each agent or can it be done with one page?
This might be a question that isn't possible, but I have three html pages made in my database, and i was wondering if there is a way to link the pages into the switchboard somehow because then everything would be accessible from one central location?? if you have any answers or sugestions they are greatly appreciated! thanks
Hi im trying to see if there is a way to put a timer in tab pages. so that when the time expires it changes to another tab. I have it working fine with the command button. I have like 20 tabs all hidden until the user clicks the cmd. Now is there a way to put a timer? I know that i can do it with the Form_timer, but that dont seem to work with tabs. thanx
I am using the "Tab Pages" on a form. On one of the pages I have a subform. If I'm doing a routine in VBA regarding that subform, do I need to reference the Tab Pages object as well as the form and the subform?
I have a form with a lot of controls. To make it much more clear for users, I was thinking of adding tab controls or page breakes.
I have placed a tab control with two pages on my form and tried to move the existing controls on the required page but of course the control will show on all the pages.
Is there a way to bypass this without having to create a new form and placing controls one at the time?
I have a report base on a select query but in the report i get the following:
page 1 = record 1 page 2, page 3, page 4 = are empty (nothing to see on the pages) page 5 = record 2 page 6, page 7, page 8 = are empty (nothing to see on the pages) page 9 = record 3 ...........etc... So there are three empty pages between every two pages(records).
I have checked in the settings of the report and all properties but cannot find the solution.
Can any one help me to solve this ? Thanks in advance
I am getting very frustrated(and surprised) to see there was no answers to my question regarding Data Access Pages yet. I searched the web and manuals and help in Access, but no luck yet... Can anyone tell me if Data Access Pages really works? I just came to know about it while developing MS Access application...I just thot it will be cool to go web with less effort...
I'm setting up data access pages that will be accessed over the internet. Because of this I want to make sure that everything is secure. I am using IIS 5.0 (Windows XP) as the web server. I used the three-tier authentication approach discussed in the microsoft article here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnacc2k2/html/deploydap.asp) So I'm pretty sure that the authentication is secure. But what about the communication between the browser and MSDE during databinding? Is that secure?
Wanting to make sure I set up a SSL certificate which secures the page and set the Remote Server in the connection settings in the data access pages to "https://domain.com". Does this secure the comminication between browser and the server?
If I build an access database that uses data access pages, are all users required to have a copy of the MS Access software, or does the database run strictly off of the browser?
This is the first time ive used the switchboard so hopefully this will be just a quicky!
Bascially i have a main switchboard which has 3 buttons. These buttons all link to different switchboard pages.
THE PROBLEM :- I have labels on the main switchboard and these are all appearing on the consequent switchboard pages. Is there a way of assigning these just to the main switchboard and not the other pages?
Novice user here. I have created a database with tables,queries,forms and reports. I'm now trying to create a webpage that will run the reports i have created. At the moment i'm the only user that will run these reports (via webpage) so the database is on my computer.
I have created a data access page using a query but the records are displayed 1 by 1. I need it to display like my reports.
Sorry if you're confused. Thanks for any feedback.
I have a number of tabbed pages and I was wondering if you could increase the size of the tab to make it (Vertically) larger so you could write the headings over two lines.
Also what does "Multi row" mean in the tabbed row pages?
I have created a form which has a main section (Client demographics (bound to tblClient) and then five tabbed pages with subforms.(Data associated with the Client- all forms derived from tblAssociatedDetails). The subforms on the tabbed pages are all linked via a ClientID number.
In the form header I have put a a combo box and with the wizard said that I want it to select data from my form (in the case search via Surname). This works but only for the top part of the form (ie it will load the demographics) but will not load any of the data from the tabbed pages (subforms).
I have generated a data access page from a table. I want this page to be used on the Internet where users can enter their data and the info is automatically sent to the access database.
But when I accessed the page in the browser, I can not edit the fields and do any inputs. Have I missed something?
When I create the Data Access Pages, I put the table values fields on the page, but it does not allow the user to edit the data. If I just create Textbox there, we can type it. So, Does the Data Access pages only view data? It doesn't allow the user to edit data. And also, I create a few button over there, and I want to create a few different function of each button, such as Update, Add, Delete. But, The properties of the buttons do not have the click event. Actually, I know that the forms can do it. Actually, what is advantage of using Data Access Pages? I feel that Data Access Pages can give me a lot of help. It has many limits. It just created by HTML format, and save it external (I mean that it will not save inside the db file, but it just link the file to db file) I thought it is just simple webpage, only view data, and search data. That's it. It doesn't allow us to edit data on Data Access Pages, create button.
im trying to create like a test in access. this is the idea. the user open the first form to enter the info like student number, name and so on. when he clicks the button he goes to another form where is the first question. in the top part is the student number wich was obtained from the First form and an option group with the answers to the question of the label box. Also a timer was included so the form close after one minute using the form_timer event. everything seem to work fine but when i go to the table to see the answers of the student, it look like if the student took the test for the number of questions, in this case forms, so if there is 20 questions(forms) it appears 20 times under the same student number, cuz all the questions are in diferent forms. then i try to take out this line from the first form when the user click the button:
DOCMD.GOTORECORD,, aclast
when i take that line out it seem to work fine only that when the user click the cmd button it goes to the first record instead of the active student record. So then i thought of tab pages making them not visible until the user click the cmd button. it work fine with the cmd button but how do i put a timer to all the tab pages so that when time expires the next tab appear??
is that a bit hard??/ any help would be appreciated, thanx
