I'm a new user with access and I'm trying to build a "Status" report based on criteria within the database.
I've setup a form where the user would choose which "Status" they want to print on the report but in all my reading
(two days worth) I can't figure out how I should accomplish this task.
I'm attaching the database and the form is "frmStatusReport". If someone could take a look at it and give me an
idea of the best possible solution, it would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe someday I can pass my knowledge on to another newbie...
I'm using a dropdown that has the months of the year in it. The user selects a month and the form is then filtered by a date if its the first of whatever month is selected. It works fine but when the filter is applied I cant select the little arrow on the column headings and select the boxes (Select All, Blank, ETC...). It doesn't work on any column, just the apply text filter works but I cant select anything.
It works fine when I clear out the filters on the form. I tried to use vba to set the menusetting property to true and that didn't work either.
I couldn't find a better way to organize my data for an ongoing history project and so am trying my hand at Access.
So, I've got an Access 2000 database built, with 3 main tables - have relationships set up and which look to be working fine (two of the tables each link to one field in the third, main, table).
What I want to do now, is to be able to have a combo box - whether on my existing form (or likely a separate one), that I can just pick the town I want, then the database would return all the records in the main table for that town, and put that into a report.
I am using MS Acess2000 and need to make a report that will be passed around with production work. My primary key is the invoice number of the work order. Currently to open an invoice i have a macro, attached to a query with the following qualifiers; Like [Enter invoice]
This pulls up the current record fine. for the form and flags the folloing in the property filter sectin of the form
(((([CustomerTableMasterRef].[Invoice]) Like [Enter invoice])))
PART 2
Now I am trying to use microsofts how to filter a report using a forms filter... This picks up on the Invoice query as shown above but does not just insert the query results...
Is there better code or another way to approach this... Currently i am using:
Name:cmdOpenReport Caption: Open Report OnClick: [Event Procedure]
Private Sub CmdOpenReport_Click() If Me.Filter = "" Then MsgBox "Open an Invoice First" Else DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomers", acViewPreview, , Me.Filter End If End Sub
Using this code not only does my report not detect the correct fields to import data (no data is filled in) but it requerys the invoice or atleast should, which I could do with out all of that code...
I currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.
I have a form where I have two drop down list box.The first list box is called Transaction_Type. It contains three values: Created, Allocated and Sold
The second list box is called Product_Status. It contains 6 items: Allocated, Produced, Reworked, Shipped, To Be Produced, Unallocated.
I have a products form. When a user created more inventory they will selected in the drop down list create, then a quantity. Then I would like the status of the product to update to "Unallocated".
When the user placed an order but doesn't finish it they will choose the status of the inventory to be allocated so I would like the product status to be updated to allocated automatically.
They other status the user will choose them self and do not need to be linked to each other.
In my vba code I have tried with the OnClick and AfterUpdate sub procedures with the following code.
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Created" Then Me.Product_Status.Value = "Unallocated" End If If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Allocated" Then Me.Product_Status.Value = "Allocated" End If
Yes when i select "created" from the drop down list it does not change product_status to say "unallocated"
I am currently developing an app with MS-access. I need two drop boxs on the same form. First is states and second is cities. When user selects one state from the first dropdown box, the second dropdown box will only display the cities that in the selected state. Is that possible by using ms-access??
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?
I must create a database for the company that I work for that covers the maintenance history of our stone crusher plant. In this database I have two dropdown lists. The first one is for the equipment and the second one is for the different types of parts that has to be replaced or fixed.
Not all of the equipment uses all of the listed parts, but some parts are used on more than one type of equipment.
I have already created a database that lists all the equipment and another one that lists all the parts.
What I want to do now is create a Yes/No box for each type of equipment so I can mark which parts is used by which equipment.
Then you must be able to select the type of equipment from a dropdown list and then select from a dropdown list that only has the parts that is used by the piece of equipment.
I have a QBF, and when user inputs the search criteria and clicks on print button, a report prints out based on that search criteria. I would like that report to include the search criteria as well. How can I do that?
I am not so good in Access, so please be as much specific as one can get, when suggesting a solution.
what i have is a form with a report inside of it (i just drug it in and dropped it). the report filters off of a field in the form. So upon opening the form, the report filters correctly. however as i browse through the form records, the report doesn't update. i can't figure out how to get it to update with the form its on. i've tried report.requery in the form_current area but it doesn't seem to re-apply the filter.
I have a continuos form (list of records) with a tool bar with "filter by form buton". This buton allow to users filter the list of records showed by the form by diferent field criterias.
After applied a filter I need a buton in the tool bar to print the filtered records on a report with a specific design: logo company, header, footer, etc.
I don't know how to apply the same filter used by the form to a report. Notice the filter by form continuos change depending the user.
I have not too much experiencie in programming. So I appreciate in advance any help.
Please see the attached. I am receiving a fatal error when I attempt filtering my report. It reads "Data Type Mismatch". Can someone take a look at this and tell me what I need to do to make this work ???
My problem is that I keep getting a type mismatch error. I know that it is because CLassID is a number and it is getting passed as a string i just can't figure out the syntax to the highlighted code.
I have a report "Work Order Details" that that is based on a query and opens along with a form that is used to set filters. Based on samples I have looked at and reading, I cannot figure out what is missing. When I select my item form one of 5 unbound combo box 's and click the "Set filter" button, it brings up a paramter box?? If I cancel out the box, I still don't get a result. Just for the heck of it, I filled in a name in the paramter box, still no luck. The report property has "Filter On" as YES. The close button, clear button, and drops downs operate perfectly.
Here is the On Click Event info from my "set filter" button:
Private Sub Command28_Click()
Dim strSQL As String, intCounter As Integer 'Build SQL String For intCounter = 1 To 5 If Me("Filter" & intCounter) <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "[" & Me("Filter" & intCounter).Tag & "] " & " = " & Chr(34) & Me("Filter" & intCounter) & Chr(34) & " And " End If Next
If strSQL <> "" Then 'Strip Last " And " strSQL = left(strSQL, (Len(strSQL) - 5)) 'Set the Filter property Reports![Work Order Details].Filter = strSQL Reports![Work Order Details].FilterOn = True End If
Hello All I have been having problems with the filter that I created for a report. I created a form that filters the form by a date and the name of the class. The code looks like this:
If Me("Filter1") <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "[" & Me("Filter1").Tag & "] " & " = " & Me("Filter1") & " And " ElseIf Me("Filter2") <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "[" & Me("Filter2").Tag & "] " & " = " & "#" & Me("Filter2") & "#" & "And """ End If
The problem that I am having is that this works fine on my computer at home but when I try it on another computer i get error messages for the date or the report appears empty showing me that there are no classes on the specified day that I have chosen. I have no idea why on some computers the date filter works an on others it doest. I could possibly be a problem with the date format on each computer and if this is the case how do I get around this problem. Thanks in adavance for your help. Amr
every month i compile a Customer Spend Report for my sales manager.
I currently do this by:
1) Taking my database into table view. 2) Setting the date to Asend. 3) Then copy all jobs from the first day of the month to the last day eg: June 1st - 29th. 4) Copy the data 5) paste into excel 6) Set auto filter on excel 7) Copy & Paste each customers spend to an individual sheet.
This is very painful! Esp when i know that since all the data i need is in the database and there is a way to get my DB to do this for me.
I have created a query to pull the data out of the database. Then made a report using the query as the "location of data"
Right i have the report now pulling out the data and showin how i want it.
It shows the groupin of jobs by "Customer Name"
I now want to set a filter to it so that i can tell it to give me the report for all customers for just one month.
EG: June 07.
That way i wil have the data shown as:
Customer: Month: June07 Cost For Doin Job: Total Charge Out: Profit:
How do i do this??? I know it has to be done within the query but i cant work out how to set it.
I have a report based on a query.There is a field in my personnel table and the query: [Field] with values from my lookup table and has three choices:
1-Inspections 2-Administrative 3-Safety..
I have a report and would like to filter based on [Field].I can filter by putting [Field]=Inspection on the Filter On Load, then typing 1 into the parameter box. And it works.I cannot however choose more than one of the three choices and I have to type the number in. Fine for me but it won't be for other users.it is used for more than one report. I would also like to avoid having seperate queries for all these reports.In other words, I would like to filter the report, not the query.
I have a query based report Linked to a form. That is, in my form, i have a combo box. Selecting this combo box pulls out a certain field values in list box in the same form. (Cascading Combo/ List Boxes).
So after i select a certain value in combo box, it shows a certain field values in the list box. Now, i want to open a report and view only the records that has the selected combo box and list box values.
Note: I have seen a guy made an access report based on a query. He made a form with a combo box and a list box.
The report is based on the combo box value selected by the user. Once, the user selected a value in the combo box, the list box updates automatically. ( I have done till here successfully). Then he used a toggle button on the same form.
This toggle button opens the report with the combo box value as the criteria but filters the report based on the field value in the list box.
How to place a toggle button with a filter command to open a query based report?
I have a report containing all the fields from my "main table". I want to create buttons on a from that will filter information from the report. For instance, I have a field titled "Priority". I want to create a button that will filter the report to only show records with a "Level 1" priority. Is there anyway I can do this using VBA?
I'm trying to figure out how to filter a report using a check box.
I have created a form, which if you push an industry labled button on that form it will show you the report with what work was done for that industry.
Now I'm trying to modify it so that I have a group of check boxes; each check box being a different office location the company has.
What I want to make happen is if say out of office A. B. C. and D., A. and D. are checked and I hit the button of a specific industry it will bring me up a report of office A. and D. Combined for that industry.
From what I've figured I can create a bunch of reports of all the different possiblities and link those to that senerio, but that seems tedious and ridiculous.
Is there a way I can code VBA to do this for me? Or am I going to have to go through the proccess of creating a bunch of different querries and reports beyond what I have now to pull up an industry.
I have following table, forms and reports in my access database:
Tables: 1- maintbl Query: 1- mainquery based on maintbl Forms: 1- Input or mainform based on mainquery 2- unbound form: to Filter report Report: 1-mainreport based on mainquery
Objective:
I want to filter report on followings: Name(Text) Month(Text) Year (Number)
I have 3 combo boxes on ubound form and want to filter report based on three above mentioned criterias.
I made a report that show a list of data where there is a date. It sorts the report by year then by month.I collects the information about the date from a field in a table where the whole date is inserted (example28.12.2014. (date/month/year)).What I want is to make a combobox or a listbox where you would chose a year you want it to show you the report for and a button that would open the report.So to make it clear in a form you would have a combobox where years would be displayed (and i would like the combobox to somehow know what years are inserted in the table), you select the year and click on the button that would open the report for that year.
The report name is "rptClients". The table from where the data for report is taken is "tblCustomers" and the field where the date is in the table is called "DateOfUse".Also in the report the date is in a field called "DateOfUse" also.
In my report I have a field called "Packages" and my subreport consists of a table, one of the columns is "Packages" so I want to use the value that I have in "Packages" to filter for only those items in the sub report.
'ExpiryTag' is the name of the text box from above.
When it equals 1, I want the report to show those records. I have done this for other reports and it worked so easily, and for some reason it just doesn't want to work on this report. I believe the difference is that the text box is calculated in the report and not in the query (for this report I can not calculate it in the query). I think it might have something to do with the output of the 1 and 0
i.e. "1" versus '1' or just 1.
I have also tried every iteration of "ExpiryTag = 1"
