I have a db with many reports and suddenly one of the reports, instead of printing text it comes out with characters that look like Chinese! I have tried deleting the report and then importing the same report from a back up copy to no avail. I have tried renaming the report - no good. I have tried compact & repair, nope. I went to a backup from a month ago and the report ran once ok but when I made some minor design changes to bring the report to it's current state, saved it and ran it again...back to Chinese!!!
Any help greatly appreciated..this really sucks!
Hi, People. I have a centrally located works database on my server. this database. Basically gets leads and sales put into it. I.e name ,address , kitchen, and commision and value of deal.
For some reason a couple of the fields in 2 of the leads have changed a few of the input criteria to chinese text and left some the same, But the money values are all just random very large numbers.
has anyone seen this before and/or is it something to do with a virus on a users machine?
One of my database users set up a new record a few days ago, entered all the information etc. He's now gone to have a look at it and it appears to have been translated into Chinese or something! The text fields have changed to things similar to 潩のㇾ′敆湲慤敬, the autonumber field has changed to 520099398 whereas it should be 5702 I think. The date entered has changed from 22/7/05 to 30/12/1899. Any ideas what the problem is or what could cause it? :confused:
Also, I've just been taking another look, and although the autonumber field is showing as 520099398, if I open the table and filter on that field with 5702, it filters down to that record. If I filter on the date entered using 22/7/05 it also retrieves that record, despite it showing 30/12/1899.
But in my access database I have a SQL code in which excel sheet opens automatically with required data. Now problem is one column in the excel sheet since this morning is showing up in Chinese instead of English. I don't know what to do.
I have a report which when I open it by clicking the button in the form shows what looks like Chinese text in the memo field. To open the report the following is in the event properties for the referencing button
Code: Private Sub cmdPrintSumReg_Click() Dim strWhere As String If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits. Me.Dirty = False
[Code] ...
When I open the same report from the reports menu on the left of the database it is just fine. But obviously it is showing information for all contracts and not the any one contract.
I haven't changed anything in the table that contains the memo field and this only started happening yesterday afternoon after using this db for over a year.
I found an earlier post in this forum with a similar problem but the only difference I see is that the user changed the field from a text to a memo. I haven't.
I have a query that pulls a "fromdate" and a "todate" from a form, and runs a series of queries then a report. The first query is an append query. If I choose to just view the data, the two date fields in the query have chinese characters in them. There is no memo field, there is no Totals. I have reduced the query down to 3 fields: from, to, and "ticket number." Both the from and to fields are blank, until I click in one of them and 2 chinese characters appear. I have done a C&R, I have decompiled, I am completely stumped.
I imported two excel spreadsheets that I was going to have to do some quick work on (separately), call them A and B. I used A first, made the queries and the report and it worked great. Instead of redoing all of the code to look for B, I renamed A to Ax and renamed B to A. Everything broke then. I renamed them back to the original, I deleted them, nothing fixed it.
I am using Access 2007. I recently converted my table field from text to memo. When I run a query and report linked to the qry the memo text is displayed as Chinese character or square box (if field is empty). In some forum posts this is shown as a font bug e.g. with Calibri. I changed from Calibri to Arial as this was reported to correct the bug. It did not work.
My field is set to Grow and Shrink, and table font is Rich Text also as mentioned in other posts. Still not working out.

how to make a report using crystal report direct from ms access as front end application ? is it possible to use crystal report ?btw i use database sql server 2008 and MS Access 2007 as my frontend application.here's the code that i'v found and gives me an error
Dim CR As New CRAXDRT.Application Dim rep As CRAXDRT.Report Set rep = CR.OpenReport(Range(" ??? ")) * i getting error in this line, what should i do to fill it ?? rep.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue "Boston" rep.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue "Cars" rep.Database.Tables(1).SetLogOnInfo "tool", "db_tsel" rep.ReadRecords rep.PrintOut promptUser:=False, numberOfCopy:=1 ' promptUser:=True doesn't work
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
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).
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).
Can you tell me if it is possible to create a main report with a Portrait view and then add a sub report to the main report and print this out in landscape mode. If you can please can you advise on the best way to do this. Thanks PWF
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)
I am wondering if it is possible to send a report as xls file and keep the format exactly as the report looks.When I try to send it now, it automatically changes back to the column names from the table, which I in the report have changed and want to keep in my excel output!
On this form, there is a text box for Quantity...At the end of the form, there will be a button that when pressed:The current record the data on the form is entered for is saved,A report is printed on a specific printer,I do not want the report to actual display,The number of copies it prints should be equal to what the quantity field indicates.I do have the report already created and the Quantity field is on the report (just not visible).Once this all happens, it should return the user to the form, that is blank, waiting for a new record entry.
