Report Difficulty
May 9, 2007
I have a simple database that has in the same record in a table 3 fields of last names that are populated by entering the data in a form. There could be the same last names in each of the 3 fields. (ie; John Doe, Mary Doe, Little Doe) My problem is that I want to make a report by clicking on a button searching by the last name (Doe) and consider each of the 3 last names in my search criteria. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished as not to miss any of the (Doe's in this case)? Please help if you can I know it sounds confusing.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I am finding it more and more difficult to answer questions lately, is it just me or has the quality of the questions gone down?
In some cases it appears that the "question" is more of a request to have something done for them than actually trying to solve a problem that they are having with a learning process.
Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

I am having difficulty creating code that will compare a date in one table (or query) in the [Expire] field and subtracting two months from the date and automatically placing the newly calculated date into the table (or query) in the [Notify Expiration] second field. For example:
Expire Notify Expiration
01/01/2007 11/01/2006
02/01/2007 12/01/2006
03/01/2007 01/01/2007
04/01/2007 02/01/2007
05/01/2007 03/01/2007
06/01/2007 04/01/2007
07/01/2007 05/01/2007
08/01/2007 06/01/2007
09/01/2007 07/01 2007
10/01/2007 08/01/2007
11/01/2007 09/01/2007
12/01/2007 10/01/2007
Please note that for the month of January and February, the subtraction is minus two for these two months and the subtraction is minus one for the year. All other subsequent months just subtracts two for the months leaving the year intact.
I would appreciate any help that will progmatically accomplish these calculations.
Thanks

I am having trouble with opening an existing form in ms access. Any idea what could be the problem?
Even if I am not able to retieve the whole form is there a way I can retrieve all the event procedures associated with the form?
Would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks in advance.

In the Access application that I have developed for a user, the application is supposed to establish the ODBC connection to an external database when the application is initiated. On my PC, the application works. On an older PC, the application works. However, on the User's PC and on the new one that we are building for her the linking to the external tables does not work. I have displays for the tables that she is to link to as the program is doing the linking. Sometimes, on the PC for her use, the first table will not link and the rest will. Sometimes, none of the tables will link. Sometimes, the first half will link and the second half won't. I am stymied. Below is the logic that I use to make the connections at the beginning of the process. Any suggestions?
Dim strTable As String
On Error GoTo Assign_Error

Hi There,
I have recently upgraded from Office XP to Office 2007. I had an Access database which worked fine in Access XP. In it I had a table linked to an Excel spreadsheet. When I entered data on an access form, it updated the Excel spreadsheet [source document] accordingly. This does not seem to work in Access 2007. The linked table option now does not permit data entry or amendement. The other "Get external data" options create a table in Access which also does not update my source Excel document. The idea is to enter data in Access using a form. This data is placed in an excel spreadsheet. Excel gets some lookup values, and then enters these in a Word mail merge. Without the functionality of a linked table and data entry, I cannot produce new reports.
Can anybody help please?
Regards
Mark M.

I am having difficulty getting a query to work, there's probably something really simple I'm missing. . . I can get the Union function to work but I can't get it to create a table for me. The basic query looks like this:
INSERT INTO test
SELECT * FROM [Design] WHERE (Design.CID Not Like "*-*")
UNION
SELECT * FROM [Release] WHERE (Release.CID Not Like "*-*")
It works fine and shows me the table I want without the first line, but I would like it to input into a new or existing table. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I’m having a problem creating a form for easy data entry. Let me give you a little background. I have a database for a tutor program, students request a tutor for a class, and then I fill out a follow up report to find out if they are being tutored or changed their minds. Next I enter the contact information indicating the date and time of their tutoring session.
Students can be tutored in more than one class but they can only have one tutor for each class.
I have a form where I enter the tutor request info and sub forms for their classes, follow ups, and sessions. Ideally I would also like a form just to enter the session info. I want a combo box to select the tutor and then a sub form to select the tutee with a combo box which will auto fill the Subject, and Course fields, and field to enter the date and contact hrs.
I think the problem is with my relationships. I’m just kind of stuck. I think I need to create a form based on a query but I haven't done that before. Any help would be appreciated. Attached is a screen shot of my relationships and of my current form for your reference.
THANKS!!!!

The aim of what I am doing is to create a monthly statement to give to our intermediaries that shows the commission they will receive each month for the deals they have referred. I have managed to create this report, HOWEVER I can't figure out how to filter out which month I need, so I a report for Jan, Feb Mar etc... The idea is that at the end of each month I need to run the report so only the latest month shows...

I have a report which programmatically sets the value of some labels based on its own internal logic for each line of the detail section of a report. This all works fine and dandy, using the Detail_format event, and accessing detail.controls.item(x).caption.
HOWEVER, when I then embed the report as a subreport (which I need to do), I goes wrong. Here, I get the values of the last row of the detail repeated in every previous one. I'm suspecting because the parent report has its own 'detail' (I've tried giving the subreport its own distinct detail name).

How do I hide the report footer based on the report's data ?
I'm trying to hide if number of users = 1
The report's data is a query built inside the report's RecordSource, not a self standing query.

I've done this once entirely by accident and can't seem to duplicate it...
I have a report. It has the following:
Report Header: Logo and title
Department Header
Supervisor Header
Group Header
Detail
Department Footer: Totals
Report Footer: Overall Totals for all departments
Here's my question.
I have combo boxes on my main form that filter this report. The combo boxes are referred to by the query that runs the report. How do I get proper unfiltered overall totals in my report footer?

I have a report that displays incidents, their details, consequences and a photo. Among the details is a severity rating high medium or low, I have been asked to make the report shorten the records which have been given a low severity (because it takes up as much space as the more important/severe ones).
The only method I can think of is to use the onformat event, to shrink and make invisible all the fields that I don't want to see if the severity field shows 'low'.

We have a shift log that includes both personnel actions during any given day as well as operational actions. (We recently switched from a word document to an Access Database to allow multiple users to input events while another has the logbook open already (which you couldn't do with Word))
At the beginning of each day, my manager reviews the previous days log and forwards up pertinent data (some personnel, some operational) to our higher authorities. Is there a way to allow him to select which records he'd like to include on that higher-authorities report straight from the local-level report?
I'm not a fan of allowing him a "Save As" feature because that kind of defeats the data integrity purpose of an events log where he could save as an RTF and then edit any of the log entries without any checks or balances.

I have an odd thing happening with my reports. There is a main report that gives class information (from query). There are two subreports (from queries also ) with scores (one for each type of test). There are some unbound controls on the main form that display a count of how many scores are recorded which are totals from the subreports. The controls all report the correct numbers however, when I scroll down to view each record, some of them change to #error, or #name, or similar for a moment. Sometimes they will stay in error form when I stop scrolling but change to correct if I scroll up just a bit. Is this because the controls won't calculate unless that report record has focus?

I have a three-column query that tells me how many hours I have available per week for a given resource type (e.g. welders). I have a second three-column query that tells me how many hours of work I have planned per week for a given resource type.I'm hoping to produce a query (the source for a report) that will show resource types in rows and twelve months in 24 columns. the first column for each month will show how many hours I have available for all my resources, the second column for each month will show how many hours I have allocated.
How do I produce a query that will combine the other two queries, inserting zeroes where necessary considering that for any given week I might have allocated work to a resource that isn't available (because the inconsiderate buggers think they are entitled to holiday) or I might have a resource that has no work allocated (because I'm incompetent)?

I have an asset data base to generate individual asset detail reports with a sub report on the same page listing similar assets from a separate query. I have set the master and child fields, one to many. This works perfectly for the first two assets (pages), however the sub report stops showing data on the third asset (page).

So I have a text box in a report that I want to pull in data from a field in another report, so the 'control' for my text box looks something like this...
=[Reports]![rptSalesReceiptSub]![Text141] (i.e Text141 is the data I want to pull into my report)
...the path is completely correct but when I run my report I get.#Name? If I run the report that has the data I want, it's fine (in other words Text141 has valid data in it)

The company I work for has branches in multiple states and we use Access to organize all their tax requirements. We print out reports for every month, and my company would like to create a pop-up window that will let us filter the report when it starts up so that it automatically shows only the dates that we wish it to. How do I create a filter that pops-up when the report starts?
