I have a report that has Bill to and Ship to addresses. They are positioned across from one another (ship to on the right and bill to on the left of the page). The issue is that the 'can shrink' doesn't work when there is data in the same field on the other address..
View RepliesI have two unbound text boxes and a search button adjacent each that allows me to search for a user via two methods:
1) Payroll ID
2) Surname
They have the following code:
txtPayrollIDSearch
Code:
Private Sub txtPayrollIDSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim sWHERE As String
sWHERE = "[PayrollID] = " & Me.txtPayrollIDSearch
sWHERE = "[PayrollID] = '" & Me.txtPayrollIDSearch & "'"
[code]...
Then minor differences between the above and the Surname search.I have two questions:
1) How do I make the search more friendly by allowing it to find partial matches, i.e., a user has a surname of 'Smith' but I want to search for 'Smi'?
2) How can I display further error messages if there aren't any matches?
I reported this a day or two ago and the post is now gone.I have a report with grow and shrink = yes everyplace - I have three fields aligned top and they do not grow or shrink correctly - if i move the fields so they are not aligned horizontally they all work, or seem to work, fine. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong. Tested it on two computers.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .
I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.
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.

I've got a table with 23 columns. Column 1 is the ID row which has a unique client ID in it. Then we've got a column called 1st_Reason and one that goes with it called 1st_Transfer_Date. This pair repeats for 2 through 10. Each of the Reason columns can have a set value, for example "First Processor".
What I need to do is create a date with months on the Y axis and the 5 different reasons on the X axis. I need to count the number of "First Processor" across all 10 Reason columns for each month. I would need to repeat that for each other reason type, but if I can get one to work I can simply change the reason type.
Here's what I'm using to count May's total:
Code:
=Sum(IIf([Current_Reason]="First Processor" And [Current_Processor_Transfer] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,IIf([1st_Reason]="First Processor" And [1st_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,0)))+(IIf([2nd_Reason]="First Processor" And [2nd_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,IIf([3rd_Reason]="First Processor" And [3rd_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
[Code] .....
I get wildly inconsistent results. On one of the types, it's only counting where it's the 1st_Reason. Some of the others return the same value regardless of which month I have selected.
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.
I am having trouble creating a chart within a report. Let me start off by explaing my report.
I have many unbound textboxes on my report that all have the code very similar to this:
" =Count(IIf([Complaints Table]![Month]=1,IIf([Complaints Table]![Decision - Our Favour? (Y/N)]="Y",0))) "
This basically gives a count of for a specific month. There are twelve rows of text boxes and two columns. There is a query applied to the report to input the year, as this is a yearly report.
What I want to do is link a chart to each and every text box to show the data in an easy to view format. But I can't seem to figure it out, and I've had no luck on the web .
I have a report and within the report I have added some text boxes with some simple logic such as sum, count, etc. These text boxes function well as long as the logic is referencing existing fields. The minute I try to have a text box reference another text box I get the "Enter Parameter Value" box pop up. I don't understand this as the text box I am referencing has a vaule based on what it is referencing.
Example: 1st text box control source =Sum([existingfield]) I get a value.
2nd text box control source =[existingfield2]/[1st text box] I get "Enter Parameter Value" of 1st text box.
I'm trying to create a simple chart in Access but I can't seem to do it. I can create it very easily in Excel. It's just a simple posting of values that I want to give a report on with every record. I'm including an example of what I would like to do...(but with ACCESS, not Excel)
It's basically a set of scores for students. I remember reading somewhere how someone created a chart using VBA with boxes, and not the charting system in ACCESS but I can't seem to find that again.
Also, I want to be able to report on each student separately. That is, they are doing 6 tests and I want to show how they did on those tests with a simple bar graph.
I use an Access database at work and there is little technical expertise for support. I have been using this database (or a copy of) for the last few years. I am not sure what happened or when but the problem now is that when you try to run a report (that I've ran a hundred plus times in the past) the text boxes only display 255 characters. The big question is what changed. I asked my team and the only logic is it happened during the annual transition when the database is copied into the next year and the CA table auto number is reset. We think that this started around this time. I was told the process used to reset the auto number was a combination of information found here support .microsoft. com/ kb/ 812718 and use of compact and repair.
So it was found that both the 2013 and 2014 databases are having this issue. We are hoping to avoid have to revert back to the 2012 database and import all the data and items (queries reports etc.) that have been created over the last two years.
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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.

I have a query which works perfectly fine, it's the report that I'm having issues with displaying correctly.
My report is a daily personnel accountability report that shows where everyone is for the day. Instead of having a cumbersome query like I did before, I have opted to just use the results of the selected drop-down option to move the X to the appropriate box of where so-and-so is for the day.
Using
Code:
If [marked_as] = 1 Then
Me.Morning.Value = "X"
ElseIf [marked_as] = 2 Then
Me.Afternoon.Value = "X"
ElseIf [marked_as] = 3 Then
Me.Evenings.Value = "X"
End If
I was unable to get it to work accurately outside of showing the three dummy names under the same column, even though the three dummy names were each placed in one of the three test categories.
I have this set as a private function called when the report loads, which is based on a query that filters down to the exact department or office (depending on the user's selection). Like I said, that part works fine, it's getting the code to accurately display in the correct column.
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]
I have a report that lists incidents for a specific day (reference number, a brief description and a few other fields). There is also an additional notes field, which I would like to be viewable from within the report.
For example, as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the brief description text box. Or displayed in a textbox on the right (I don't want one textbox per line though, but instead a single re-usable textbox). Or a more information button/link that shows a "popup" containing the additional notes. I don't want to exit out of the current report, but stay within it.
I have tried to achieve this with a tooltip, but in fact even when I manually typed in a tooltip on the control's properties it wasn't displayed when I hovered over the text box.A pop-up or floating textbox would be preferable.
is it possible with transform, only uppercase text contained in a report textbox, to bold? How? Through VBA?....

I'm trying to create a form which filters a report based off of combo boxes selected by the user. The code I'm using currently is:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptProgramAttendees", acViewReport, , "ProgramIDFK = " & cboProgramTitle
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'
I have been an MS Excel man all along my career and I am a novice in MS Access.I have created a table, [Initial Customer Approval] which records data from a Form, [Initial Customer Approval]. Once the data is entered in the Form, I need to do some calculations based on the data entered in some of the fields in the form.I created 6 different queries for the six possible values in those fields. now for each of those queries I created respective reports.I placed a Print command button in the Form.
1. When I press the Print button it should open the report for the current record in the Form. (Currently It Opens all the reports simulatneously, with only one relevant report containing the current record; other opened reports being blank.)
2. If user presses the Print button before pressing Save button then system should prompt user.
Here is the code (Please note [reference number] is the unique ID generated for each record entered in the tabe through form):
Private bSaveClicked As Boolean
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Not bSaveClicked Then
MsgBox "You are trying to navigate away from the active record. Please either save your changes, or press ESC to cancel your changes.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation
Cancel = True

I am editing a database that provides the option of creating custom reports, where the user can input a date range of their choice and receive aggregate data for that time frame. Although all of the numbers in the report are correct, I am having trouble with a chart that I inserted into the report.
Specifically, if the date range requested spans 2 calendar years (i.e. April 2014 through January 2015), the data for January 2015 appears at the beginning of the year (so the chart x-axis is for Jan through Dec, and the Jan 2015 data is showing up in Jan (as if it was 2014, not the end of the given range in 2015). When I try with smaller time frames within a calendar year, it adjusts just fine (i.e. shrinking the window so just March-May is displayed on the graph).
How to adjust the axis so that it properly records the data range- so that it would start the axis with April and end in January, for example?
In my tables i have used calculated fields. one of the fields is to "total expenses." In a report, i need to show the sum of all the "total expenses", the filed populates in the report but the cents are missing. for example if the amount is 6080.40 it shows as 6080. how can i get around this? I have tried changing the decimal point value to 2 at which point the value turns to 6080.00 when it should be 6080.40 (i am a beginner at this i am assuming the answer will probably involve c++ or visual basic's, two concepts i am not familiar with.)
