Access 2007. I can run the report for last month and with the VBA code outputting it directly to PDF and it works. When I run it for this month, I get an error 2501. This report has been running for months with no issues. When I run it for this month and preview the output, I can export it to PDF with no problems. Why can't I get it to work in VBA for this month?

I found this code on a site and I adjusted it for my situation.
However I keep getting Error 2501 'You canceled the previous operation'.
Even after reading all posts about this subject I still haven't figured out the problem.
All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
Recently I am getting this message in a database that would allow users to add new rows to tables, even when I look into the tables themselves I can't seem to enter data
Would anyone know what could be causing this error?
Error (no. 2501): The save action was canceled
Thanks

Whenever I export reports to PDF, the output appears zoomed and clipped. No extra pages are generated as they would be if I'm going over margins, it's just the report is clipped.
The report looks perfect in preview mode, and it looks perfect when going to an actual printer. However, when using OutputTo to save it as a PDF, this is when the report content is clipped.
Here is the code I'm using:
DoCmd.OpenReport MyReport, acViewPreview
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "", acFormatPDF, "MyReport.pdf"
DoCmd.Close acReport, MyReport
I open the report in preview mode first so events are fired that show/hide various objects based on fields in the recordset.
I've tried reinstalling, and I've tried this on two different machines, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows Server 2008...both with the same results.
I have been tasked with creating a database to log employee suggestions and then automatically present reports around the site. I have developed the database and it works OK and can output *.PDF reports, but I'm having problems with how to display these reports. My idea was to output the reports automatically as *.TIFF or *.JPG files and have them stored in a folder that the My Pictures screensaver uses. The reports (in fact, any site report stored in this folder) can then be shown on any screen dotted around the site when it goes into screensaver mode. However I can't find any way to output/convert to a picture file.
The other option is to create a webpage that rotates through the saved PDFs, but this isn't ideal as the PC users will have to load the webpage to display the reports.
I would like to print a report file from a database into PDF format.Currently I am using a macro with a "where condition" to select the particular file which currently outputs to the default printer. Converting the macro to VBA reads as follows:
DoCmd.OpenReport "Receipt - full pay new", acViewNormal, "", "[ConsultID]=[Forms]![Payment Record Type]![ConsultID]"
However, if I do an output to PDF file as below, I can't insert a "where condition" to pick the specific file. Instead, it outputs the whole unfiltered report which is 12,000 pages and 29 MB!
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport,"Receipt - full pay new",acFormatPDF,"C:AccessReceiptPDF.pdf"
How to combine the 2, i.e. have the "where condition" to select the particular report page, but output to a PDF file in a selected directory.
I got a easy table with two columns. To make it easy say
1 20
2 40
3 30
4 78
5 60
6 85
7 20
I want to put the number 1 - 7 over a picture and get it to look up the value in the 2nd coloumn and replace the nr with the number in the 2nd column. Is this possible? I would have to manually put in where 1 - 7 is (this will be labeled ontop of a plot plan)...
I looked thru the forums and didn't seems to get what I needed;
I want a count query to give me all fields in "group by" column, and assign 0 to where there are no count for certain fields.
I tried to set Outputallfield to "yes" but got an error message saying that there is a data type mismatch. The query ran just fine when outputallfield was set "no" and gave right results.
Can anyone help, please?
I had looked at the Shell() function but I don't see it doing anything such as input and output.
Does anyone know the use of the VBA's command line that would send an input and receive an output to the VBA's variable?
I have several reports that creates price sheets for all of my customers. It is a report with multiple subreports within, and I am trying to create a process to seperate them and export them all into [Customer Name].pdf. I have tried to scrap some code together from various forums, and it has been unsuccessful.
For example, one of the reports "rptPriceSheetQuarterly", has a field "txtCustomerName", that feeds the queries for the other subreports. I would like to create a new PDF when that field changes.
I understand I need some sort of looping code that will cut the report up dump them all into one folder, but I am totally out of my element here.
I have a report that i export to pdf from access 2010 using OutputTo. The report is about 10 pages long. Every time i run this report, at page 5 and beyond, random letters become distorted, sometimes with a box sometimes with a question mark. All fonts I've tested are embedded. Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, Georgia and others.
Attached is a sample of of the distorted pdf output.
I have researched on here how to print the results of a query to a text file. I put the code in and I get an error on the openrecordset line. The error says "too few parameters, expected 4"
I tried the query in another report I export to excel and the query works.
I tried printing the whole table using "Select * from tbl_Customers" and it works????
Here is the code:
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryBell1", dbOpenSnapshot)
Dim fs, TextFile
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TextFile = fs.CreateTextFile(pathname, True)
[Code] ....
the query returns 6 fields for printing and can filter based on whether 3 fields are filled or not on the form - Date, Campaign, Status
I need to know if exist the system in Access 2007 to output a report in word document including images. Normally the output is "*.rtf", with a quite good quality but due to the file type it doesn't include the pictures.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of the users of my application, reports an error when saving a report to pdf by VBA code. She’s using Access 2013, on Windows 8.1.
The error is “error 2501 output to action was cancelled with access vb macro”
The VBA code is
StrReport = “RepInvoice”
StrDocumentName = “C:UsersMaryDocumentsAccessInvoice.pdf”
DoCmd.OpenReport StrReport, acViewPreview
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", StrDocumentName, False
DoCmd.Close acReport, StrReport, acSaveNo
This error occurs at the OutputTo line. This code is part of an user form with a button “save as PDF”.
When this code is run, the report is visible as an example (as meant to be) on the screen. The code stops at the OutputTo line.
When I use
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, acFormatPDF, StrDocumentName,, False
the problem still exists.
I tried to save the report manually by Preview > Export > PDF. The preview is OK, saving as PDF results in the same error 2501. This may lead to the conclusion that this problem is not caused by the VBA code.
I verified whether user write rights are OK, and whether a default printer is available. Both are OK. The report consists of 1 page.
When this very same application is used with Access 2010, everything functions as expected.
hi guys, here is the situation.
I have 3 forms:
1- editpopsubform where the info comes from a select statement.
2- editPoplist , which has the form 1 as a subform
3- editpop, a form which allows the user to edit a record selected in the poplist form.
The idea is to open the editpoplist form, where a list of records appears. Once a record is double clicking in the code number, the editpop form is open showing all the details for that particular record.
the code number in the editpop from is assigned as per the following:
=[forms]![editpoplist]![editpopsubform]!ifsnumber
Problem: when i double click in the code number the following error appears...
"run-time error 2501 . the open form action was cancelled"
any clue?
thx max.
I'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "q_calldetails_tmp", "c: emp estoutput.xlsx"
It works fine and produces the output file but when I try and open it with Excel I get an error saying the format is incorrect. If I change the extension to .xls it opens with no problem but I need it to be an Excel 2010 format with correct extension.
I have a report with field that has as a control source this value " =[Time Period In Days?]"
This works well as long as the user enters a value and clicks on "OK", however if the user clicks on "Cancel" he gets an error.
I assume that this is because the report is trying to open and it gets a null value from this message box? Is so, how can I ensure that a default value of "0" is automatically entered?
:mad:
I have created an Access 2000 database sometime ago now that is split and has mutiple users. Which has worked perfectly fine.
I have since made some design changes.
I now have *most* of my staff saying that (mainly on reports) when they try to perform an action the standard Microsoft warning box appears saying Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close do you wish to send a report to Microsoft.
I am at a loss to why this is happening.
My PC is OK, and one *faultly* PC I checked had the same driver and service pack of access??. We have just moved over to Access 2003. Is this the cause.
I might as well go home !!!!
Thanks for any input.
We have a ms graph object in the report. All the programming code relating to it is perfect and the graph displays correct too. But in some circumstances, the graph displays with different mold than it should be.
When we preview it in a single base, it works fine. Sometimes, in this way too the graph has a display error.
I have used the maximum potential solution to this, but all failed in vain.
1. Setting delays and refreshing the form and re-querying the graph data
2. Created a new database and imported all the objects and tried to run
3. Compact and repair database
4. Tried with re-creating the report from scratch.
why this type of error display is coming up with the ms graph object.
I'm using MS Access 2003.
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.
This is the second database where this has happened to me. I have code to print a report (with several sub-reports) to PDF. When it prints, only the first couple reports appear. The rest of the pages on the PDF are blank. If I try manually saving to PDF (Save As > PDF or XPS), I get the error "Cannot open any more databases."
In the other case, my "solution" was to copy all the queries into temporary tables and use the temp tables as the datasources for the reports.
I have a cross-tab query that is filtered on user-defined date range using a where condition of:>[Forms]![Reports_Menu]![txtFilterDateFrom] AND <[Forms]![Reports_Menu]![txtFilterDateTo]
the Query functions perfectly. The report based on that query, however, only functions with a DateFrom that is before 1/28/14 and a DateTo that is after 2/27/14. If I enter a date in either field that is outside of those ranges, I get the following error:The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize " as a valid field name or expression.I have defined both of my Query Parameters as Date/Time in the Xtab query design.
I have developed a quote form that is working well. I want to print out a Quotation to send to my customer. Currently it shows the Qty, Item ID# and description in the detail portion of report. In the report footer, currently it will print out, Subtotal, Freight and the resulting total.
A problem arose when I tried to add the total weight of the items in a quote to the report form. I get a "compile error...variable undefined" msg when I try to open up the report by clicking a "Print Report" button I have on the form.Here is the code that is highlighted by the error msg. the Undefined variable is dWtTotal n red below.
Private Sub ReportFooter_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Me!txtSubTotal = dSubTotal
Me!txtDiscountValue = dDiscVal
Me!txtTotal = dTotal
Me.txtFreight = dFreight
' Me!txtTotalWithWork = dWithWork
'12-21-14 Add Total Job Wt to Report
Me.txtWttotal = dWtTotal
I feel like I have defined the variable with this code below which is in the first part of the VBC code that occurs when I click on the Print Quote button:
dSubTotal = 0
dDiscVal = 0
dTotal = 0
dWithWork = 0
dPkgPrice = 0
dTotPkg = 0
dDisc = 0
dVatVal = 0
dVatRate = 0
dFreight = 0
'Added 12-20-14
dWtTotal = 0
I have 2 table:
- tblInvoice include Inv#, Type (Debit/Credit), InvoiceDate, ...
- tblCharge: ChargeCode, UP, Qty...
I have created a qry of these 2 table. It works properly. I added a Number spelling function to convert Total amt to word.
The error has happned when I change anything in tblInvoice. Every time I run the report, the report reports error 13 Type Mismatch. When I run debug, it point to Sodoc = Round(Sodoc, 0).
It's strange. This Number spelling function only spells the number in the report why is it impacted (by the change of tblInvoice record)?
P/S: The following is the Number spelling function mentioned above.
