I need to print data on a pre-printed letter-sized piece of paper that will be cut horizontally into three identical 8.5" x 3.667" forms.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to format a report to get the data in the right spots. I've tried messing with the margins, height of the detail area, columns...everything I can think of. It seems I can get the data to print in the right spot on the top form but neither of the other forms and/or on the top two but not on the bottom at all.
So i have a union query pulling together about 3,000 records from other queries.
I arranged all the counts and data I need to fit onto one page, but the report is copying that page (minus the header) for each record in the union query. I'd much prefer a one page report rather than a 3,000 page report.
Why does it do that? All I want is a one page report, how can I make that happen?
I am making a race results database that is supposed to sum an entrant's two times together to obtain a total combined time.
Let's say that the two times I have are '41.43' (41 seconds and 43 milliseconds, there is no colon) and '1:48.17' (1 minute and 48 seconds and 17 milliseconds), and both are currently of the short text data type in my table. How would I go about obtaining the sum of these two times? I have already tried using queries to convert the strings to seconds with no success.
The past few days I have noticed the Access database that I am using for development on a new site has been having problems. I am unable to locate what is going on but it seems as though the ASP page can't access the database, or if it its super slow. It just sits there and times out.
Anyone have any ideas on what might cause this? I have a support ticket into the server admin to have him check it out... just wondering what you all think?
Is it possible to do conditional formating after a page break?
I have been given someone elses mess to clean up. It is a massive procedure which runs dozens of queries, then formats the results and pastes them into a word file at given bookmarks
For most tables there is one record for each lake. However there are several where many entries per lake. The logic being applied is that the font colour for the column is made white, then for each first instance of a lake name the font colour for that cell is made black again.
The problem is there are many times were the first row of data on a new page is not the first record for a particular lake making the reader have to flip back to the previous page to double check which lake they are looking at data for.
So what I want to do is leave the existing logic, and just add turning additional cell's (Column 1, after a page break) font colour back to black.
Is it possible to change the formatting on different switchboard pages? For example, if I want to use a different color scheme on different pages of the same switchboard. So far, it seems like the changes you make to the switchboard design apply to all pages. Any way to change this?
Here is my delima, I have a report that I am able to type in a keyword and it will pull up that report exactly as I type the keyword, however, let's say that I want to pull up someone else's report I cannot. I have to exit out of my report and then go back into it and resubmit the new search.
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).
I have a question related with a report i`m using to print labels. I am not familiar with Access and this is quite a challenge to do it alone.
In the attached file there is a report called "MICRA", when started it asks that you want to select (default is 1 and special select in this case is 11) and next it asks "SPS", the value entered there is printed in the bottom right corner of the report.
My question is is it possible if in the SPS field is entered a special value (for example "MASS") to print 30 labels of each selected label with text in this fiels = "val.1"; 15 with text in the field = "val.2"; 10 with "val.3" and 10 with "val.4" and after that to print next label with same rules...
And if not entered "MASS" to print just 4 copies of every label.
I am creating a simple report. I would like to add an image (already done) but repeat the number of times it appears by a numerical value i.e. [Image1] x [Quantity] (field value) so that the image repeats the number of times I require per record is this possible?
Question: I have got one report showing the details and one report showing the totals of these details. How do I combine this to one report showing the totals at the end of the details, ie. not on every page?
I am trying (an failing) to create a report which best fits into A4 size paper. Requirement is border all arround.
I am attaching a sample report output of my db in which
See, Additional Techno-Commercial and below data are in Report footer. So problem is if there is single result in details above footer, then this footer comes up and report covers only half of page.
What is required is footer should be a fixed lower position and if data above is less it should be blank but a border should be there.
I have report that uses a query that summarizes the hours for a particular job. When I look at the query itself I get decimal numbers, such as 26.84, which is correct. But when I run the report the report rounds the numbers, instead of 26.84 I get 27. I have changed the format of the text box to General number, but it does not work. Actually the report does display some of the decimal numbers but not all of them. And all of the text boxes are the same. Hopefully someone will be able to help.
This is probably a simple question, but I can't find the answer and can't seem to be able to format my question into a searchable format, so here goes.
I'm building a report that contains names; prefix, first, last, title. I would like to somehow link these so that instead of a bunch of spaces in between the data, the data is seperated by a single space. I.e. instead of
Hi I have created some reports but find difficult to keep permanganate page set up for that reports. I go to design view and do page setup with required margin and Portrait or Landscape set up and preview that reports looks fine. After saving again I check still its fine but once I close that database and reopen again some of reports page setup becomes Portrait with 1" margin on all sides (Not All reports). I cannot solve this. Can any one help?? Funny part is even I copy that report and change data source of that report it changes page setup :confused:
I have a report that is several pages long, the page footer I want to show only on the last page, how can I work out a counter/indicator to know which is the last page and be able to set the footer fields to visible
Hi, Is it possible to parse, and format a textfield in a report on a line by line basis? What I am trying to do is get a document to be processed into a printable format using reports. The text, and formatting information of each line, and any specific word details are stored in separate columns in the table. If, for example an entire line needs to be made Bold, I can get that done. What I would like to know is that if a word in a particular line needs to be formatted differently to the rest of the line, eg underlined, is there a way to do so?
For example, if I had the line as follows:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
I'd have the default, unformatted text as one field in the table, and the word, in this case quick, and it's formatting in another field of the table.
So rather than stating my question again, can it be done?
I am having a problem with the formatting of a report. My boss would like for the report to show (grouped by employee name) a horizontal list like below and update itself.
Each training class has a category in the table showing which model(s) the training is. For OJT I got it to count up the tasks and tasks completed in each model and calculate the percentage. I can easily get it to show vertical for each employee. I cannot get it to show like above. I tried using IIF statements to pull the hours and OJT by model aircraft. If I try to put it in the detail section it shows vertical and if I put it in the group of employee name it only returns one record (I assume its still trying to show vertical). The only way I could think of to get it to show properly was a crosstab query but its my understanding those are for archival purposes or for a snapshot and do not update. This report will need to update as things are entered.
A client wants to convert a report I designed for him, to a word document so he can edit it.
The report's Report.Orientation Property is set to 1 - Right-to-Left
Relevant TextBox.ReadingOrder Properties set to 2 - Right-to-Left,
and relevant TextBox.TextAlign Properties are set to 3 - Right
When exported to RTF, the document is LTR and text alignment is to the left (even though the page actual layout is seems RTL, just like the report).
Is there a way to enforce RTL layout in the exported Word file?
I am using Acc2010.
Edit: Iv'e added a sample word file. You can see it looks RTL, but is actually LTR. Set it as RTL - and it gets all disordered. Now multiply this by 47 pages...
I'm working on a form that needs to look similar if not the same as the report that contains the same information. When building the reports I was able to sort the data so a value that applies to many entries appears only once at the start of the corresponding group of entries.
