I have built several reports and I have set the layout to Landscape. When I go into the reports after a few days, it puts the format back to portrait. How can I stop this from returning to portrait?
View RepliesI have a report that looks like a letter on company letterhead. I wrote a macro that changes the report to .rtf, attaches it to an email so that we can send it to customers. The problem I'm having is that the .jpg logo graphic doesn't show up on the .rtf version of the report.
I've tried using .html and .doc formats and it doesn't transfer to those either. Is there a way to make the graphic stay on the letter?
HELP!
Thanks so much for any ideas.

I have one more problem about the version 2000 since it was not happen in version 97. I have changed several report formats margin lots of times (for example .25" for left and right margin to fit on one page) and when I open the reports next time or other users access them from the server (since the application residing on the Novel server) the format keep changing back to the default (1" for all margins: top, bottom, left, right)!!
Please let me know if it is a "bug" in Access 2000 and HOW to fix it!!
Thanks much,
I am having problem to keep the desired format for reports' margin (left, right, top, bottom) and paper size (letter, legal), and orientation (portrait, landscape) stay!!
Currently, I have one MS Access 2000 database application resides on Novel Netware server version 6.0, [B]although I open the Access database exclusively to change all my reports design to the way I like, and SAVED them properly; however, later when I and other users view those reports, the formats change back to default view, which are "letter size, portrait and all margin set to 1")??
It is very STRANGE and FRUSTRATING and incovenient since all users have to manually go to "Page Setup" of the report's design everytime to change margins to make the data display nicely on one page!! It has never happened like this in version '97!
Plllease let me know if ANYBODY has any SOLUTIONS to this bug of version 2000 of Access?? Or any UPDATE file released to help get rid of it??
Thanks so much,
I am printing statements for clients. Depending on certain criteria about the client, the format of the statement changes completely. This is just how the boss wants it, I have no control. I still want to generate all statements at one time (not separate reports).
I currently have this working using multiple subreports, and changing their Visibility property, only one being visible at any one time. This works, but it is very slow, I assume because I am basically making Access do triple the work (I have 3 subreports).
I pretty confident this is not the intended use of subreports. Is there a "correct" way to do what I am doing? I know I could just manipulate everything with VBA, but having subreports makes editing the different formats very easy.
Thanks for the help so far...
I have managed to export areport to file but I lose all the formatting. I get the option to output as html, xls, txt, rtf or snapshot format.
Is there a way I can output the file whilst maintaining the look of the report as it is in print/preview??

Hello all!
I would like to have one stupid question, because I could not find any answer on this forum.
I want save the Form as Report. I can do that from "Menu bar", but I want to do that from the code (VBA or Macro) without inputting the output parameters by users.
Do you have any idea how?
Many thanks.

Can anyone tell me how to have Access automatically close a report without saving any changes.
I do not mind if the user closes the report manually but do not want Access to prompt the user to save changes. I want it to automatically abandon any changes that were made.
Hi all - I'm new here and am very glad to find this forum for some help!
I've been using Access for several years and I do the same type of reports over and over and all of a sudden I'm having trouble.
I typically modify existing queries - changing the name of the department in order to pull up their info - and then I format a report and modify that same report over and over with the "Properties" key where I pull in the new query info and then use SAVE AS to save the report with that department's information.
For the first time ever it will not let me SAVE AS with the new info. Sometimes it just does nothing at all - appearing to save but then the report isn't there - sometimes giving me a pop up box that says it couldn't find the search key - I don't even know what that is!
I can SAVE AS with queries, but not reports. HELP!
Thanks!
I have a report that prints labels.
Every few times of opening the report, the page setup settings revert back to default i.e. 1" margins, 1 column etc.
how can i assure that these settings remain unchanged??
thanks!
What I want to do is save a daily report to a map source, each day the map name changes so for today the map name is "Report2013-10-03", and tomorrow the map name will be "Report2013-10-04".
Is this possible? is there some function like save(Report%s) where %s = date() ?
Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way for a report to be automatically saved as an excel file. Also, the Access database is stored on the company's server so would you be able to choose the path where the excel file would be stored?
Cheers,

I am building a database which produces a report which I have formatted as a letter, I know I could have done this via a mail merge etc however...
What I am wanting to achieve is when this report(letter) is run, is there a way that when it is produced from a macro button embedded in a form that this report can then be saved as a pdf attachment within the same access database attached to a client record?
I have developed an Access Database for my Co-Op work term workplace, and everything seems to be running smoothly with the exception of the report generation phase. The company I am at has a set template for all reports (Clients column always goes in a specific place on the page, and the report always contains the same categories in the same locations; things like that). The problem is that, every time I go to make a new report, I have to re-format and re-make the report. Is it possible to save a report`s format so that, when I go to make a new report, it automatically applies that format to the data being used?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have generated a report in acviewreport, after viewing the details I want to save the report as a pdf file with the client name, invoice number and date. In the report design view I added a cmd button and successfully coded it. However, it saves the report WITH the cmd button showing. I don't want this button saved. Is it possible to remove the button from the report AFTER I have clicked it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
Is it possible to change the resulting format of a new field (expression) within a query?
I.e. Instead of the resulting when running query being displayed results in decimal places but instead being displayed in percentages
Regards
I can't seem to set the format and decimal places to do what I want in my table. I've tried several different combinations of Field Size being either Integer or Long Integer, Format being either General Number or Fixed, and Decimal Places being either Auto or 1.
What I want is to display the number I've input as I've typed it. For example, I type 10.6 and thats what I want.
But instead I'm getting either 11 or 11.0 or 11.00 for all the formatting options I've tried.
Can someone please tell me why its doing this rounding to my number, and what do I need to change?
Thanks.
I am having trouble applying conditional formats to my access db they work in excel but cannot seem to put them in to access I have one table that my forms and queries look at
These are the conditions i had used in excel
formula is =AND($H18>=TODAY(),$H18<TODAY()+14)
this turns red if within two weeks of today
formula is =AND($H18>TODAY()+15,$H18<TODAY()+43)
this turns amber if between two and six weeks of today
less than =<TODAY()
text is struckthrough and turned red
Any help with implementing these in access either similar or new method
Hi,
and again I have a problem :)
so,
In Form I have two calendar controls, and two text boxses. Based on selected date, text boxes are showing day of the year (format(Date(),"y")).
Query is based on table with records of days in year (numbers),
so, when Im trying to sort Between two numbers from Form (in this case nubers of days in year) query is reciving (imo) full date, not the number and im not getting any results.
Any non VBA ideas?
tnx
I'm tring to build a queary based on a field called "PLAN_CODE" and a policy issue date field. There are 3 plan codes ...select1, select 2 and select 3.
I want to pull information as follows
Select1 has an issue date 11 months ago (day the queary is ran)
select2 has an issue date 23 months ago
select3 has an issue date 35 months ago
I built a field to calculate the duration of the policy based on the issue date
Duration: (Round((POLICY_ISSUE_DATE]-Date())/365,1)). I think the format is wrong? need help with that!
I built a field to create a nested "IF" statement but the first "IF" is not pulling correctly, so I cant built the remaining "IF" statements.
Expr2: IIf([PLAN_CODE]="SELECT01N" [Duration]=-0.9,0).
Anyone have a better approach? Any input how to handle this? I'm not real good with VB code but have a general understanding of it. It's easier for me to build in the QBE.
Hi Folks,
I have a table of dates and a "frm Dates" based upon it. I have copied a very useful calendar control which I found on a sample datebase elsewhere on this excellent site. I want to have an [OK] button which jumps to the correct date in my frm Dates when I choose that date on my calendar, but it's getting the months and days the wrong way round. Here in the UK our favoured approach is dd/mm/yy, but to try and figure this thing out I've formatted everything as Long Date.
Further details are on the form of the attached database, I hope you can help. Non-technical answers most appreciated as I'm pretty much a greenhorn with this stuff.
Thanks all!
Hi
I have been battling to get a mail merge to work correctly with a access database, the data isn't coming across correctly.
I have the date set up in access as a long date format, when it merges into word it changes to 2005-10-05 00:00:00, can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the date to appear correct.
thanks in advance

ps I have read and re read the help pages on this but still can't get it to work
I need to build a output text file (edi) with 500 byte records and up to 6 different record formats. Can anyone point me to any information/links that would help me understand how to do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI spent a pretty significant amount of time working with Access in college, but that was years ago. Now that I'm actually trying to do something practical with it in the office, I can't remember how to do anything! This board has been helpful to read so far, and hopefully you can help me with my specific question.In our system, shipping charges by unit vary between customers. I have a table set up with a field associating a customer's charge with the customer's name. The problem is, the two most common charge amounts are $0.25/unit and $0.305/unit (dealing in fractions of a cent here). Right now the field is set to show 3 decimal places, so the numbers are showing up as $0.250 and $0.305 respectively. While this works and all, I want to format the field so that when a currency figure with 2 decimal places is input, it will display only 2 decimal places, but in the event you enter one with three decimal places, all 3 places are shown (and the number is not rounded off).Can anyone help me? My database is in its beginning stages, and I'm still somewhat of a beginner, so the less complicated, the better.Thanks!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a query based on two tables that calculates days elapsed between two dates. Problem is one date field is date/time and the other is short date, so the result is always infinite decimal places. I don't want to change the date format for the date/time on the one table. I tried the format function in the query, but still ended up with decimal places.I just want to make that one long date to act like a short date for calculating "days", not hours, etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to convert a date format like dd/mm/yy to a SAP used format like dd.mm.yyyy .
a simple string conversion like
Code:
pp = day(datefield) & "." & month(datefield) & "." & format(year(datefield),"YYYY")
is not working, the year is converted wrong.
thus 17-07-62 should be converted to 17.7.1962 ( European date format )
