I am creating a report that contains name andd birthdate on one line. I need to have up to seven lines in the report for some groups, but do not want to leave blank lines where no names exist. I am working in 2010 and have read about canshrink in 2007, is this approach availabel in 2010 and for date as well as text?
View RepliesI have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.
Example:
A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1
ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10
1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)//
2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..//
3 // etc.
However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:
1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data
2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data
3. and so on
I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.
I've got a report that is displaying addresses which are all identified as 'public' or 'private'. I want to be able to display the 'public addresses' and leave the 'private' addresses blank (but still show other fields.. phone no.s etc). The field that the data appears in is Address 1 (for both public or private), depending on what the data entry clerk has selected as the preferred address (ie public or private).I've been playing with the Iif function, but have not had any success...
Address Type: Private or Public
Address1: Address details
I have a report that spits out several names of individuals, I have it in ascending order and if there happens to be a duplicate the second, third etc. are all left blank on the report, is there anyway to prevent this from happening.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a complicated report in which there is a main report which contains other reports within it. One of these reports (call it "Number Six") within the main report has several subreports. Within this report, I can successfully cancel the subreports so that they do not print if the data does not match the right criteria. I use VBA code to cancel the Number Six report if none of the subreports will be printing. Nothing then appears on this individual report. All I get is a blank page which makes sense since I've shrunk all of the subreports.
When the main report prints, the Number Five report prints, there is a blank page for the Number Six report and then the Number Seven report prints. How do I get the main report to not print that blank page for the Number Six report? When the Number Six report will result in a blank page, I want the Number Five report to print followed by the Number Seven report. I've tried using "No" in the main report for the Enabled option for Number Six but the blank page still shows up. I am not forcing any page breaks either.
I have become stuck with an issue which I am sure is entirely my fault. I am trying to create/modify a macro for a field ([cx_ref]) on a report (Upholstery_orders), so that when a particular record is clicked, it uses the data in that specific record and field to open another report (works_orders), based on said data.
So far the only headway I could make was to create a macro that opened an intermediate form with a combo box displaying every record in [cx_ref]. I'm not a huge fan of this method as any user would have to either memorise then type, or scroll down thousands of records in order to locate the correct one, select it and then click a button to open the "works_order" report.
A macro (or code) that could take one from the original report, using the data in the 'clicked' box/field on the form, and open the second report without having the input the data again. Short of being able to do this, any way to simply export the selected field so that it appears on the intermediate form (without the need to select or type it again), be that in the combo box or in a box of its own.
I have a report that's oriented landscape. I have scaled and placed everything to fit on a 11" x 8.5" page (the current dimensions of the report are 10.375" x 7.75"). The Layout view shows that everything fits within the borders.
Despite all of this, Print view insists on including a second, blank page. And since the general user will initially be viewing it in Report view (which doesn't indicate 2 pages), then printing if they so desire, they won't know there's a blank page.If not, I'll just tell people to make sure to only print page 1 in the printer dialog box.
I have an access report that consists of numerous other subreports. My issue is that one last blank page prints at the very end of the report. All margins are sized correctly and have set the 'Force New Page' setting to 'None' for all Group Headings (I should mention that I have each subreport within it's own group heading...so a total of 8 subreports in 8 group headings). The odd thing is that I have the page #'s printing in the page footer and on the last page it's printing page + 1 of x pages (e.g. page 129 of 128). I have removed the report header and footer, but have the same result. None of the other subreports produce an extra page when run separately.

I have a report based on a query. Sometimes some of the fields on the report are blank because the information is not available. Is there a way to not show the blank fields on the report and to move the next field up into the space?
I have tried using Is Not Null on the query criteria but if any one field is null it doesn't show any of the others on the report.
I have currently got it so that the height is set to 0 and can shrink = yes and this seems to work but the field is still there (although hidden) - I would rather it was removed completely if it is blank as I am hoping eventually to make the output for each field show on a PowerPoint presentation and I don't want blank slides which I think this solution might do??
I am in the process of making some changes to an inherited database. One of the things I need to do is to fix an issue with the reports. The reports have a field which asks for the data range (from xx/xx/xx to xx/xx/xx) as soon as the report is opened, but then the query that fills that report also asks for the same data range so you end up entering it twice.
What do I need to do to enter the data range only once and have it show up on the report and also be used on the query?
I have a report in access 2007, now i need to ask that i am creating new blank report and just like to to capture value from other report via textbox or any source (you may reccommend), for e.g in Report A i have months and their total amounts now i want to add both these fields in new Report B where i will do the same with other previous reports to create summary of accounts.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report (Access 2007) with subreports that is being exported to pdf. It all works fine on PC except for on a virtualbox and a laptop. When the user exports the report to pdf, it leaves some subreports blank! If the report is opened in the DB it pulls data as it should and all looks fine.
In the report, the missing data is from 4 subreports in the same top section of the report where a 5th subreport also resides. Subreport 5 is displayed OK. There is no dynamic formatting nor filtering in the reports.
These two machines had to have the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF installed for the PDF export to work at all. Both machines are up-to-date on the latest windows updates. The virtual box runs XP while the laptop runs Windows 7.
This is the strangest error I have ever encountered as it only partially fails and it cannot be replicated on a regular PC.
I have a specific form, paper version, that I'd like to reproduce in an Access report. This form, which has 34 blank lines in the paper version, is used when people need to borrow some Tools or Equipment on a short period of time.
My report is made up in Access, but, if a person signs for, lets say, three different piece of Equipment, once it is sent to the printer, it prints three lines, which are the equipement signed for and it leave a big empty space before it reach the page footer.
What I need is something that will fill that empty space with blank lines. I found the following on the Net which meets my needs up to a point. What I mean is once it print the last line, it keeps on printing the last line until it meets the total count of 34 lines.
Here what I found on the Net: (note that I have a =count(*) into the Group Header)
Option Compare Database 'Use database order for string comparisons
Option Explicit
Global TotCount As Integer
' Call the SetCount() function from the group header section's
' OnPrint property using the syntax: =SetCount(Report)
[Code] ....
I submitted an attach file (blank_lines.gif) to show you what I end up with.
I have a report that has two sub reports one to report deposits and the other to report payments.
The report prints fine if there are records in both sub reports, however when the payments sub report is blank then the report hangs and won't print to pdf at all.
I have a report with a number of calculated fields, and information that is pulled from the form that calls the report. Pulling the information is done in the Report_Load() event by setting the report.txtBox = Form.txtBox. When I open the report in acPreview all the calculated fields are populated as they should, and when I open the report in acNormal mode (which is what I want) the calculated fields remain blank.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a non standard size report (for printing labels)
The report is just over 10cm wide and just over 15cm deep.
I have solved the blank pages caused by exceeding the width but I'm still getting a blank page when I move some data down. I am still within 15 cm but it's throwing me a blank page. Even if I extend the in design mode depth to say 20cm (ie the height in Detail) it's throwing a blank page (I can see this in print preview).
I initially set up the report (it's a long time ago so memory fades) using the label wizard setting up a label 4*6 inches (10.16 * 15.24 cms) and it is this i'm trying to tweak. Is there a property I'm missing somewhere?
I have been modifying an existing report that was formatting and printing fine but since I modified it (adding some text boxes and moving some controls around), it is now adding a blank page.
For example, If the report was normally 2 pages long with page numbers, it is inserting a blank page without page number between page 1 and page 2......
I have a main report / subreport relation, just want to have a fixed length of each printout. e.g the total number of lines of the subreport should be 8 lines. However, lots of subreports contain records less than 8. I would like to know how to insert of blank line in the subreport depending on the records with content at each print, in order to make the total number of lines in each subreport is 8 each print!!
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy student is doing a project on question paper generation in which he selects questions from each lesson needed and also some of these questions have images associated with them. So, if these questions are selected, the image control in the report displays it.
If there is no image, the space for the control is left in tact. I tried changing the visible property for the image control in the Detail_Format event procedure. But this code is not reached at all and the space is still left. I am not storing the image directly in the field but its path in a text field.
I want that the space occupied by the image control removed. I tried the suppression thing but obviously it did not work.
My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon
Export from print preview
Export via macro
Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.

I designed and used an Access 2003 for some time but I have recently updated to Access 2013 and want to rejig and improve my database. My query is that I need to print invoices from my database, there is a header section with my details, then a section with the customers name and address at the left hand side, and the invoice details such as invoice number, invoice date, PO number, credit terms, etc. at the right hand side. I would like to remove any blank lines from the customers address but to still have the invoice details at the right formatted and spaced correctly. Is there any way of doing this, the canshrink property will not work due to the invoice details which still need to be printed to the right?

I'm working with a report that totals the number of times a topic is returned from a query. If a topic is not returned at all, i don't want it to show at all. Currently it is showing a blank field for that topic name and blanks in the count as well. Here's the filter i've put in to pull the right data out of my query: =Sum(IIf([Caller Used Resources]="No",1,0))
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report which contains 3 subreports. Now I require to do the following:
1. Hide the subreport if there is no data.
2. Remove the Blank space created when the data in subreport is null.
I tried to Set Can Grow and Can Shrink to Yes but still the blank space was not removed.
When I reduced the height of the subreports in the design view the blank space was reduced but it was still there.
What can be done so that the complete report auto adjusts itself if any sub-report is null? Something like the whole page auto fits itself in the available space?
The option of reducing the size of sub report in design view to minimum is there but it makes the report very un-handy for future reference.

One of the Field Names in my table is titled ActionDeadlineDate, with Date/Time selected as the Data Type for the field. On one of my forms I have created a text box based on this field. Under Properties/Control Source for this text box I have inserted the following formula:
=[DateReceivedinADR]+40 Basically, this forces the text box to auto populate to a date 40 days beyond whatever date is entered in the DateReceivedinADR text box. On the form itself everything works flawlessly.
I have created a query that includes the ActionDeadlineDate field. However, when I run a report off this query it will not populate the date for this field. On the report this column is just blank, with no date indicated.
All other date fields I use on the form (at least those without an underlying date formula) appear as they should. Is there a way to make a date based on a formula appear on the report as well?
Hope I didn't make this too complicated. Maybe what I am asking for is not possible since a date formula is being utilized in the text box, rather than a simple date.
