Reports :: Adding Data To Report That Was Selected Using Combo Boxes?
Jan 21, 2015
I am using Access 2010 (self taught and continuing to learn each time I get asked for a new report). I have created a query based on the data being selected from two combo boxes on a form, ie start date and end date. The report works as it should but I want to be able to automatically use the dates in the report heading. For instance, Summary Report from xxxxx to xxxxx, where xxxxx is the start and end dates that the user entered into the two combo boxes.
The date field on my query reads
Between [forms]![F - CboReportDates]![Start Date] And [forms]![F - CboReportDates]![EndDate]
This works great to return a report if the user selects something from the combo box. How do I adapt this so that the user can also leave the combo box blank and filter the report to return all records?Additionally, what if I want to have the user filter between dates selected on the form; i.e. between 'txtStart' and 'txtEnd'
Is it possible to use combo boxes in reports? I have a report built but was wanting to use a look up box to retrieve alternate data while looking at the report.
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
I have a form that our operators use to do their hourly quality audits on. This is getting to be a huge burden on them because right now, they enter the date, the week ending date, the month every time they have to do an entry, and for me it is a nightmare because they can still enter the wrong information. So, what I was wondering is if there is a way that I can have them select the date from a combo box (easy enough), but from that, have the week ending date and the month fields automatically update as well. Any advice? I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much!!!!
What I am trying to do is create a master table which references the every other table.But the primary key references another primary key.I can get the combo box to display all the options, buy shows options already selected for other records.in other words...
I have 4 reference IDs from table A. (ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4)
Master_Table has a combobox to select between the IDs. if record 1 has ID_1 Record 2's combobox will show all 4 IDs If I only have 1 ID that can be put into record 4, it's combobox still displays all 4 IDs.
What I want is: If ID3 is selected for record 1, it wont be displayed in the comboboxes for the other records.
Why is it that everytime I print a report containing Drop-down Boxes, the selected value for that particular record is blacked out?
This is a screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://ww w.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1177902_txqed/AccessReport-Error.JPG All the blacked-out bits are supposed to be the selected values for each record.
I use Microsoft Access 2002. How can I fix this so that the actual value is legible?
To recreate the problem: 1) My table contains a field (called "Colour") that can only be satisfied by certain values ("Black"; "White"; "Coloured") as defined by a drop-down list. 2) I enter a record about a white scarf. Therefore under "Colour", I select "White" from the drop-down list. 3) I make a report from my table. 4) I print the report. 5) However, when I look at the record of the white scarf, all I see under "Colour" is a box containing the values "Black" and "Coloured", and in between them, the selected value "White" should be, is a black line.
I have a frmOpenReport which has 7 combo boxes linked to 7 Query's.
I have found code to add selected values from one combo box from a button 'Open Report' to a report but struggling to find how to select selected values from all comboboxs and add to a report.
My code so far.
Option Compare Database Option Explicit 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 If Me.HLO.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then
I am trying to get a report to print out one one record that I want.. I want it to be able to be sorted by date and the user just picks a date and one record is printed out on page. Right now every record that is stored is being printed on a different page and over time that is going to be a lot of paper... I want to be able to pick which record I want printed...
The Form is called "Bread Mold" The report is called "Bread Mold Report" The table is called "Bread Mold" What it is sorted by is called "Swab Date"
i have a combo box, which looks up a list of school names from my main table. The user selects the desired school, then clicks the button underneath, which opens a report. What i want the report to show is the next 31 (that is how many fit on one page) schools AFTER the school that the user selects - the underlying query for the report has them in alphabetical order. There are ~250 schools in the list.Even if i can get it just to display the records after the selected one on the form, that would be fine.
Any way, I have created a table "accountstbl" to which i have AccountsID, Accountnumber, Accountname, Accountaddress, Accountcontact fields.
My question is i created a form with a combo box linking it to the accountstbl and Accountname field. When i click on the combo box it lists all my Accountnames from the accountstbl which i want but i want to click on an account name and once selected it will show a report of the selected name.
Reading through lengthy pages there is reference to event procedures but this is code which i do not know.
Simples is me select name from combo box and voila you have a report of your selected account name.
Departments (DepartmentName as prime key), Employees (EmployeeCode as prime key, as prime key field can't have duplicates as it occuring in case of EmployeeName), ErrorReference (ErrorCode as prime key) and ErrorCategory
I built onemore table "Performance", in which 'workOrderRef, Date, Cost and WorkOrderPic' are local fields and rest of fields (departmentName, EmployeeCode, EmployeeName, ErrorCode, ErrorRef) are linked to different database to prop up data while data entry.
Also did relations between these tables in order to facilitate cascading effect of modification in respective database bases.
Now the question is - in input database file i.e. "Performance", - when i prop up "CAD" department, i should get employees in CAD department and in turn employee code.
similarly
- when i prop up any Error rerefernce, it should automatically prop up corresponding ErrorCode
I have a combo box on a form that the user can select a player name. Under the combo box I have a label called "Show me information about selected Player: that once clicked takes the user to another form which has all information about the player that was previously selected in the combo box.
Everything works fine UNLESS the user forgets to select a playername from the combo box and clicks on the label anyway. Obviously no player name was selected so a blank form opens which is a problem!
How can I ensure that a player name is selected and prevent the user from clicking on the label below without having previously selecting from the combo box?
If anyone can please help I would appreciate it so much.
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
On design, layout and report view, everything looks exactly how I want it. However, when I display it in Print Preview mode, checkboxes appear about the Project Name.There's nothing in my report to show that I have these checkboxes on the report. Where these could be coming from and why they only show in the Print Preview layout?
I have 10 unbound textboxes with the Tag Name "LoopID" in my report. I have to display the "PatientNumbers" field from the table tblPatient in those text boxes. Below is my code.
When I run the report, I get the error message: Run-time error '2448.' You can't assign value to this object and the code "Ctl.Value = rst!LCANumber" is highlighted.
Private Sub Report_Current() Dim strSql As String Dim dbs As Database Dim rst As Recordset Dim x As Integer Dim Ctl As Control strSql = "Select PatientNumber from tblPatient"
I've made a query and designed a report for it. Simply it includes:
Area code, customer name, other customer details.
I want other people, when they click on the report to be given a drop down box which allows them to choose a specific area code before it generate the report. So, for example, they just want to look at Yorkshire region records, they choose Yorkshire from the drop down box and it'll generate the Yorkshire report. I've searched around but can't find what these are called.
Im trying to add a barcode to a report which I can scan with a barcode scanner. I have downloaded A code39 TrueType font and created a textbox and have put the following in the Data, Control source
Code: ="*" & [Barcode] & "*"
but when I print out the report its only converting the field barcode to a code 39 barcode and leaving "*" at either side of it. I know its not the font as if I open note pad, select the font and enter *1234* all is converted to a scanable barcode.
When I send a customer a work order, I want the final page to be a list of conditions of the current sale. In Word, it is nearly a full page of 7pt font with bold and italic. What is the best way to add this to the end of my report in Access?
I am trying to add text to a report. I am using Access 2007.My report is tied to a query. The query contains 2 fields-Hostname and MAC Address
I want run a report against the query, but need to add several commas. So the output of the report would look like this: hostname,MAC Address.
I then want to export the report to a plain CSV file.I thought I could just add a textbox with a comma in the report, but that didn't work well. When I added the text box, Access also created a column header that I did not need.I've also noticed that when exporting a report to CSV format, there are several characters (pipes and such), that work with the formatting of the report. Is there any way to remove this formatting?
I currently require a macro that takes the record and when clicked, it opens a form and displays this record. This is so that I can use it to click buttons and open existing reports based on the data and field that match the 'clicked' record.
I have a Table of Special instructions. Each type of a Yes or No Text Box. There are 13 items in this table along with the ID key.
Each Field has a Special Description. I used the Y/N format for ease of use for user input to simply select the applicable options.
However, I need the text description to display on the printed report, which is not the problem.
So i created a separate text box for each item that simply says; If True, "Description", else blank. And named each one sp1...sp14.
So now, I want to take these text boxes with the proper descriptions and string them together.
My formula is: =Trim([sp1])&" "&([sp2]) etc.
This does produce the proper text results, however, and oddly enough, each item displays on its own line rather than in a string.
I get: SP1 SP1
Instead of the desired result of SP1 SP2
This seems to simple, and probably has to do with the yes/no format. I've tried with and without (), and using + instead of &, and to troubleshoot, I eliminated the " ". No luck. Everything is coming back as a single column.
