I have a form with 7 List boxes linked to 7 Query's which in turn are linked to a table. Each list box if for a particular trade.
I am trying to select a person or persons from each List box and then have them sent to a report. I have Code to do one list box, but do not know how to link all boxes with code to a 'Open report' button.
The code I am using is as follows:-
Private Sub cmdOpenReport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenReport_Click
Dim strWhere As String
Dim ctl As Control
Dim varItem As Variant
'make sure a selection has been made
[code]....

Good morning All,
I have a form with a command button to open a report ( based on a query ) for the currently displayed record. here is the code I have used:
Private Sub CS_notes_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_CS_notes_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "InternalSNwithRMAprodMASData"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , "TLAUnit = " & Me.UnitSN & "'"
Exit_CS_notes_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_CS_notes_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_CS_notes_Click
End Sub
I believe this came from this forum sometime. When the button is clicked I receive the error:
"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(TLAUnit = 26712B')'
TLAUnit is the report field, UnitSN is the form field.
Any help with the error?
Thanks
Kevin
I know there is a Access Guru out there that could do this in a milisecond, but, this one has been kickin my backside all week...
I need to know how to create a shortcut button in a form to bring up the "Report Wizard" feature. Then after that button is created, I would like to be able to hide the structure of my database so that all the users can see is the switchboard. PLEASE give me some insight here if you can, the first correct reply gets free fries with thier next order...
I have a report that displays 5 different status. The problem is I need an unbound box to display a certain word when one of the status's is displayed. But the thing is there should be an over-ride checkbox that will display "Void" if it is checked regardless of the status and in the Unbound Box Void will appear regardless of status. Here is an example:
Status Unbound Box
Happy Good
Sad Problem
Happy Void
Sad Void
Note the last 2 on status's list had the checkbox for "Void" Checked.
I know this sounds crazy! I don't even know why I was asked to do somethng like this. People just make up things to do in ACCESS for no apparent reason becuase it comes to their mind!
I have a report which shows a set of events. In this report each row has a sub report which show the guests that are attending. What I would like to do is to use a button to drill down into each individual event and hide it again on clicking the button (like a toggle button). I have used the following code which is attached to a button in the report (each event has a button)
Code:
If Me.GuestSubReport.Visible = True Then
Me.GuestSubReport.Visible = False
Else
Me.GuestSubReport.Visible = True
End If
I have used this in conjunction with the 'Can Grow' option and it works almost perfectly. The only problem is it shows or hides all sub reports at the same time instead of just the sub report in the given row.
Is there a way I can target the individual sub report when pressing the button?
I'm having a little trouble getting this accomplished. I can instruct access to print the report, however I just want to be able to view the report after I select a button. I will attach a picture so you can see what I have thus far. I do have an older version of this and it works flawlessly and as far as I can tell everything is a carbon copy of the working version.

How to create a Radio Control Button that selects the records with the artists and names of artists for cd's and print a report based on those autoreport records?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am trying to see if the following is possible. I have created a form in my database that tracks how many thank you letters I have sent out with a "check for yes" box.
On records where there is no check I want to create a button beside that says "Print Thank You Letter". It would then generate a form based on that certain customer's information.
Is there a way for me to do this? Also, will the report automatically generate that person's information found in the record?
Thanks,

I have about 10 reports and I have them listed in a combo box. I would like to just pull down the report I want and click on the single button and it would open up. I know I am a pain in the *** but I could always hook the reports to 10 buttons but that design looks trashy.
I already made the reports and just waiting for some help. I think im losing my mind, it seem every time something is done in this database, people keep asking for more changes. What is going on.....
I have a fairly simple report which lists rows from one table with a little bit of logic. At the end of each row, I want an action button, which when you click it, goes to a form with the correct ItemID for that row.I tried the VBA code like this on the View button on click method:
DoCmd.OpenForm "CreateCAF", , , "[ItemID] = " & Me.ItemID
Of course, what happens is it opens the form CreateCAF with the first ItemID in the report, regardless of which row you click on. I want it to pick up the ItemId of that row.
I'm trying to print out several reports from one button. I have created individual buttons for each of the reports and they work fine.
But when I try to amalgamate them it stops printing after the first two reports regardless of which ones are at the top of the list.
The code I'm using is ......
Private Sub Print_All_Click()
Dim strFilter As String
strFilter = "Business_ID = Forms!frm_Business!Business_ID"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_Front_Page", acPrint, , strFilter
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_D_and_N_Suitability", acPrint, , strFilter
[Code] .....
What I want to be able to do is have a button next to every client entry which the user can click. Once the button is clicked, I want the "person name" box in the report to be formatted to have a yellow background.The purpose of doing this is so after a couple of days when we come back to the report, we can easily see by the yellow background which people we have to follow up with.
I don't think conditional formatting will work because I have so many different "person names" in the report that it would go above the 3 rule limit, only solution in VBA.The button I created is called "Format", and this is the VBA code I have tried:
Private Sub Format_Click ()
Me.Person_Name.BackColor = vbYellow
End Sub
Basically when I click a button on a form I want it to run a report but only when certain criteria are met as entered in the 'Where Condition' box. I've managed to do this successfully when it is an equal to query but I now want to run a 'contains' query and don't really know where to start.
I have a text box on the form labelled [Desc] and I want the report to pull records where any text entered in the [Desc] text box is contained in the fields [Used Stock]![Model]
currently i have to open my report and export manually to save report as pdf.
This is my code to open for specific user :
DoCmd.OpenReport "myreport", acViewPreview, , "[User_ID] = " & Me.User_ID
now I want to output my report to pdf automatically to a certain location.
how do i filter with specife userid ... by using DoCmd.OutputTo
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "myreport", acFormatPDF, "C:Userspublic empCourse " & [UserID] & " - test.pdf", False
is there any other way i accomplish this..
I get an error message when I click the setup button in the print dialog window.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am trying to print 5 copies of the report via the button on the form.
I'm sure I have the code correct, however I only prints 1 copy instead of 5.
I have a database I use at work for writing up non-conformance reports and we have 5 different dispositions(see picture) but when we run our report, they show up as numbers(1-5). I want to know how to get them to show up as text. I went into the main table and changed the "disposition" category to text and changed each button to show what text I wanted it to but for some reason it wont save. When I go back and click the radio button and bring up the properties, it reverts back to a number. I just want our dispositions to show up as the text(Use As Is, Rework, RTV, etc) instead of numbers when we run our monthly report.

I am facing a problem. i am very amateur at access. I want to design a form on which there is one combo box and one command button. If i made a selection from the combo box and clik on command button it should show all the details related to that particular selection (say Shop Order) on a report. I dont know how to link this things.
report may be like..
Shop Order Description Length Width Hight..
Ax12 xxxxxx xxx xxx xxx
Ax 12
for a particular shop order selection there may be no. of parts that should show on.
like an assembly thing. Suppose Shop order for a bag is A23 and its different parts are belt and chain...

SHOP Order description ......
A23 belt
A23 Chain...

please do help if you can..
Thank you

A command button on a form that can:
1- Open the Report called : ConsentForm
2- Print it to PDF printer (report is currently defaulted to that printer driver)
3- Save to folder: C:SOSConsentForms
4- Save as: Consent_[Last]_[First] (these are field names on the form)
Result i.e.: C:SOSConsentFormsConsent_Doe_John
5- Then send the file by email (Outlook) to : abc@hotmail.com
Recently I set up a button to export a report automatically to Excel using the following code: DoCmd.outputTo acOutput Report, "Report1", acFormat.xls, "J:Insurance DeptReport1.xls", True.This works great, however I was wondering 2 things:
1. How do you set up to transfer multiple reports using the same button. EG I have reports named Report2, Report3, etc how do I add these to the code to export as well?
2. Is it possible to have them transfer to the one file but different sheets. EG Report1 would go to sheet1, Report2 to sheet 2, report3 to sheet 3 and so on?
How can I set the record source of a report to a saved query through VBA. I am trying to use the same report for a number of uses, all of the info on the report is the same, but the only difference is the query that the information is based on. I have this simple code below, how do I add a record source to it (if it can be done)
DoCmd.OpenReport "SellRPT", acViewReport, , , acNormal
