I am coming back to an Access 2007 database that I put together some time ago. I need to simply delete a column and its associated heading in a report and I can't remember how to do it!!
I have attached a few screen shots.
001.jpg is of the actual report and 002.jpg is what the report looks like in Design view. If I try to use Layout view it displays the message "Layout View is Unavailable for this report".
I have fields on the main menu where folks put in a start and end date prior to running a report. I'm doing a monthly report that pulls current month, and two prior months of data. For example, the user selects a date range of 10/1/14 to 10/31/14 the report will show August, September and October results.
I need the column headings to change each month depending on the date range they select to run the report so in November they will pull 11/1/14 to 11/30/14 and get September, October and November.
The headings for the columns would then adjust.
I put an unbound text box with the formula as follows in the control source of the report page header to pull the month that is equal to the current month minus two (I'm just showing one of the column headings formula):
=Format([Forms]![Main Menu]![EndDate]-2,"mmmm yyyy")
This is not working. It's pulling the current month which I have set to run for October so it should show August 2014.
I have a subreport and would like to have a header that repeats on each new page if it extends to multiple pages.I tried the suggestion I have seen to create a dummy group header based on an expression of =1 and set the group header "Repeat Section" property to "Yes".header now repeats before every record, instead of just once at the top of each new page.

I have a report that starts with an unbound form [Form1] which I need for the parameter inputs. Date1, Date2 and BillingMonth, all three are unbound controls. Date1 and Date2 are the criteria for the dates of billing and they work fine, that is, the query looks them up and the query runs fine. But I want to use the unbound control of BillingMonth to populate an unbound control in the report heading.
The control source is set as =[Forms]![Form1].[BillingMonth]; it works fine if the underlying [Form1] is still open. There is a command button on [Form1] that opens the report and then closes [Form1] since it is a pop-up form that is only used to get the criteria for the underling query; I don't want it to remain open when I run the report. However, the [BillingMonth] does not appear on the report heading. Just #Name?, which I assume means that since [Form1] is no longer open, it can't find the control [BillingMonth].
So, how can I get the [BillingMonth] to appear on the report heading?
I am migrating a database from Spreadsheets to Access 2010. Everything else is going well but I am stuck at one point. A table has Name, Gender, and Nationality fields. Now, I need a report that will have only Nationality and Gender fields. The nationalities will be in a list and another column should have total count for each nationality. Then, the Grand total should be print at the bottom of the report. Moreover, two other columns should have a count of each gender (male and female) against every nationality.I need Report which will have Four columns i.e. Nationalities, Total, Male, Female... The nationalities column will contain a list of nationalities that are there in the data table [field name: National].. The total column will count and show the sum of each nationality from the data table [same field: national]... The Male and Female columns will do the same i.e. count the occurrence and show the total for Male and Female from the data table.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a report that fits nicely onto one A4 page.
Then I had to add an ID column to be able to sort by ID (would not sort by ID unless I added the column to contain the record ID numbers, even though the query on which the report is based is sorted by ID).
Because I added another column (on the right hand side) to contain the ID column, it's gone over the A4 size and so prints a second page with the ID column on it.
So I hid the ID column, but a second page still prints, just with nothing on it.
I don't want to shrink any of the columns to make the ID column fit as the report is crowded already.
I tried setting the ID column header and content to Display When: Screen Only, but that doesn't work, it still prints the second blank page.
How can I stop that second page printing? I don't want to just print page one as sometimes the report is more than one page of data.
In Excel you can set the print area. Is there a similar setting in Access? I can't find one.
I have an issue sorting the results on my Access 2010 Report. Here are the details:
- Report Record Source = "Portfolio Ranking"
- Portfolio Ranking is the name of a query
- The query includes a calculated field called "Impact Score"
- FYI: this is a web database (not sure if that limits what I can do)
I want to sort the report on the Impact Score column. However, when I view the query calculation for Impact Score, the "Sort" field says "(not sorted)" and it's greyed out, so I can't select Descending as desired.
I have a user form in Excel that sends data to a table in Access 97.

Is there a way I can filter the report depending on the data entered in a column?
aka If a cell in a column has "Cheese" I can run a report showing just the "Cheese" results?
Hi,
I'm trying to get a crosstab to output some columns that dont have data. e.g. a feedback survey with no low scores.
Everytime I put something in the Column Headings property the query becomes "too complex" and won't complete. I have tried just putting "Question" which is a Column that should always output.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Darren H
I'm trying to delete just ONLY the records inside of the column, Not the whole ROW. But I just don't get it. This is what I used.
DoCmd.RunSql "DELETE tblMasterProfileSheet.QTY FROM tblMasterProfileSheet"
Everytime when I execute that script, it's deleting the whole row. I just want to delete records inside of the QTY column, not the ROW.
I need to create a report that has three labels as a heading on one level and then it will display the rest of the headings on another level.

I have a form that displays in datasheet view. When I select a record and hit my keyboard's Delete button, I see the following error:
The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time.
This error *always* appears when deleting any record from this form. After clicking OK on this error, if I refresh the form, the record in question has indeed been deleted.
We use an Oracle back-end, and I have tried dropping the associated triggers, but the error message persists.
I print a report onto labels (Avery 5960: 3 columns of 10 labels on a letter sized piece of paper). The report and labels print fine BUT...
I need physical page breaks between certain sections. When I click on "keep whole group together on one page" in the "group by" section of the report, it starts a new COLUMN of labels (which Access sees as a new page), but does not force an actual new piece of paper.
How can I force a real page break?
I have a project that was given to me because I have previous experience with MS Office, but my level of Access experience is somewhat below par. Here is my problem: We are using one form (Enter Required Training) to create a row of data that goes to a report to let us know when employees need to be trained by.
This report is called 'Past Due - Required Trng'. When employees have completed a training course we go into a form called 'Enter Training Attendance' to update another report to show that they have completed training. However, once employees have completed a course, we have to manually go to the database where the required training courses are stored to manually delete them so that they do not show up on the report.
My boss would like me to find a way to automatically delete the required training information without having to manually delete them each time. Is it possible to have the 'Enter Training Attendance' form delete the record created by the 'Enter Required Training' form so that it does not show-up on the report once completed? I have been messing around with the datasheets, events and even formatting but I can't seem to get anything to work.
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 trying to create a P&L statement in access. I know what I want to come out at the end. I am just starting to play with access and having trouble getting what I want to come out of it.
On the sales side I have a query that gathers all the revenue sources and calculates a total for each date. I then use a second query to just take out the data I want for the P&L report. I created a sub-report that displays the data I want. I use the grouping and grand total features to get the total into the report footer. So far so good.
On the expense side I created a form of a query to manage the one to many relationship to capture the data for expenses (one purchase with many line items). I created a query based of this query to get the relevant data for my expense sub-report. I created the sub-report and got everything looking and calculating the way I want it to. I use the same grouping and grand total features to display the data in the report footer. Still good.
I created a new main parent report with the two sub-reports (sales & expenses) on it and even was able to pull the totals from the sub-reports into the main (so currently the subtotals of the two sub-reports are displayed twice). Now when I try to use the textboxes I used to pull the sub-report totals into the main report to perform additional calculations (sales - expenses) I get #error. I have tried different things and gotten ?name.
Control source for the two textbox controls on the main that display correctly, but don't let me do any further calculations.
=[rptP&LExpensesOverview]![AccessTotalsAmount]
=[rptP&LSalesOverview]![AccessTotalsTotal Sales]
To do the subtraction I have tried using the references above, as well as just using the names of the unbound text boxes in the report that bring the totals into the main report.
As a work around, I tried to build one query with all the data from sales and expenses, but can't "filter" based on date and get the data I want in the query results because the two sets of data are not necessarily related. I either get a long list of records, or no records (I am currently only playing with about 5 days of data).
The aim of what I am doing is to create a monthly statement to give to our intermediaries that shows the commission they will receive each month for the deals they have referred. I have managed to create this report, HOWEVER I can't figure out how to filter out which month I need, so I a report for Jan, Feb Mar etc... The idea is that at the end of each month I need to run the report so only the latest month shows...
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do I hide the report footer based on the report's data ?
I'm trying to hide if number of users = 1
The report's data is a query built inside the report's RecordSource, not a self standing query.
I've done this once entirely by accident and can't seem to duplicate it...
I have a report. It has the following:
Report Header: Logo and title
Department Header
Supervisor Header
Group Header
Detail
Department Footer: Totals
Report Footer: Overall Totals for all departments
Here's my question.
I have combo boxes on my main form that filter this report. The combo boxes are referred to by the query that runs the report. How do I get proper unfiltered overall totals in my report footer?
I have a report that displays incidents, their details, consequences and a photo. Among the details is a severity rating high medium or low, I have been asked to make the report shorten the records which have been given a low severity (because it takes up as much space as the more important/severe ones).
The only method I can think of is to use the onformat event, to shrink and make invisible all the fields that I don't want to see if the severity field shows 'low'.
How do I sum up the rows of a column in a report ? My example is here below
Sick Days
Employee1
Employee2
Employee3
Total of Sick Days
