Reports :: Extra Space Between Detail And Subform (in Footer)
Jan 16, 2014
The first report example is what I get when I start on the main form and select an organization, run the report, opens report - BIG SPACE between the details and my footer section which holds a subform.
The second report is what I need it to look like, what's strange to me is I get the report correctly when I just run the report (I don't pass the organization into the report from the main form)
I tried changing the background color of the detail section and the footer section to figure out where my problem is but the space just stays white.
I have a report with an embedded subreport. It's set up in two columns, ordered across then down.
My problem is when column 1, row 1 section is taller than column 2, row 1 section. It creates a lot of extra white space as I fill in the rest of the report. Is there a way to eliminate that space or am I stuck?
Hi I have a standard form with Header, Detail, and Footer sections. The detail section is populated by a mixture of queries and calculated control boxes. When the detail section overruns its space, I get a vertical scroll bar to the right and then the footer is displayed. So, the footer always stays where it is and the scroll bar only moves the detail section.
Is it possible to get the scroll bar moving the whole lot so that the footer is not permanently viewable on the page and would appear after all the Detail boxes ?
Managed to export a table to csv file. The problem I now have is I need to add the following Text at the start of the file:-
H,LKJ85485524,DE
and the new last line :- T,whatever the record count is,2
Whether this info is added before or after export is not important.
I have even resorted to using VBA to create an Excel spreadsheet and saving to csv.
Thought this had cracked it however I had surplus commas at head and footer where the original csv file had additional columns (ok manually delete these comas) ,then found that the end of each csv line was missing a final comma that is needed by the recipient of the file.
I made a form with a subform - in the form header it just has the title, in the details it has details about level 1, then in the footer it has level 2 with all records assigned to level 1's ID. My problem is in form view the detail section takes up half the page, I only need it to take up an inch or so. I tried dragging it in design view and it seems to work in design view but once i switch to form view it still takes up half the page. I also tried changing the numerical height for the detail section in properties but it wont change.
I have a main form (Parent) along with a subform(Children). I want to have a button that generates a report with the Parent information as a header and the items in the subform as details. In addition, I want the report to show only the children that were recently added not all of the children.
I'm trying to create a report where I can use a section header as a hyperlink to show/hide detail, but only for that section. For example, my customer names are:
Code: ABC Co. ZYX Co. 123 Co.
If I click on ZYX Co., I want it to show the contracts for ONLY that customer:
I have a database of high-school football players, and I am looking to print out single page reports (or forms) that will show detail from several tables and queries. This will act as their resume when they visit schools on recruiting visits. The reason for needing query items, is that I have developed queries that return the most up to date height, weight, 40 time etc., and that single most up to date number is what should print, not the entire table. When I try to build a report it will let me bring in multiple tables, but not queries.
I am trying to produce statistics reports in my database. The user selects the information they require in a form (date from, date to etc). A query then produces the results listing each job in turn which is what I want however at the end I would like to produce sub-totals for each client.
Depending on the criteria selected by the user, only some clients will appear in the list. Ideally I would like the footer to show something like:
Client 1 - 4 jobs Client 2 - 1 job Client 5 - 6 jobs Client 6 - 17 jobs
We recently converted to Access 2010 after using 2000. This problem has suddenly appeared. It doesn't happen on every report but there is one in particular right now and I can't figure it out.The first page of the report is complete but it prints a second page containing only the page header and footer, the rest blank. There are only 2 detail records on the first page and plenty of blank space.
It's not the issue of the page overflowing onto extra pages because the page size bleeds beyond the margins. Everything is safely inside the set margins, and in fact as a test I brought the page width down to 4 inches with .5" margins and it still prints a second page.
I have a sub-report and the last row is highlight, however, there seems to be extra spacing after the last row. I removed all report/page header/footer so all what's left is the Detail section but I still have this white space after the last row.
I have a form that looks and prints exactly as I want it to, except for two little things. These things are extra pages. They don't appear on the print preview, but they always show up on the printer and on the pdf file when I email it. One page is blank and the last page has "Page 1 of 1" at the bottom right corner of the page. I would always limiting the printing to one page.
I have a continuous subform with allow additions set to false. To make a new record I have used some update vba to create the record direct in the underlying query, then requery the form and the partly created record appears. The user then adds a quantity and some text. The subform still appears without the new record line.....However if I click the button again to create a second new record I end up getting an extra 2 lines.
One is a duplicate of my previous one and a new blank record. These do not actually appear in the underlying table and the subform looks ok. However this extra record confuses the end user and I want to avoid it. Refresh or shift f9 does not eleviate the problem. Sometimes I even get two "current record" pointers.
It turns a number like this "120" into elapsed time in hours and minutes like this "2:00"
I have a report with an elapsed time for all of the items. I simply want to SUM it at the report footer, but i guess my control source turns it from a number into text, which then cannot be summed ?
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 am trying to create an invoice report. I want to add all the costs from the detail section in my footer. I have accomplished this in either the Report footer and/or the page footer, but the problem is that the report footer doesn't go to the bottom of the page, and the page footer doesn't go to just the last page. I have tested a bunch of suggestions that don't seem to work.
1. Print page footer with Report header = NO - only works if your report is two pages or more.
2. Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Page = Pages Then Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = True Else Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = False End If End Sub
The Page functions worked, but it did not change the results from page to page. If it was a two page report, then the if statement is false and the text box was not visible on page 1, but it also was not visible on page 2.
I have a 14 page report in which I want the footer to appear only on the first page. I accomplish this with some code in the OnFormat event of the page footer:
If Page > 1 Then Me.PageFooter2.Visible = False Else Me.PageFooter2.Visible = True End If
The first page has the footer (great).
The 3rd thru the 14th page does not (great).
The 2nd page also doesn't have the footer - but - it only shows a half page of data! The data continues where it left off on the third page!
So, to sum up:
1st Page: Footer with detail section containing 16 rows of data.
3rd thru 14th Page: No footer section with 28 rows of data.
I current have three different reports that are the same except for the footers. That means that each time I have a change to the report, I have to remember to make the change on all three copies. Is there a way to add (1) some custom text such as "Client Copy", "Please Sign and Return", "Our Copy" plus one or two data fields from the report query in the page footer (the data fields would be different for each copy)?Basically, what I would like to do is have just one report, but print three copies of it, with each of the three copies having different footers as described above. Is this possible?
I have a report that has a group within a group. The interior group has a footer with a textbox calculating an average. I would like the Outer group to then SUM the averages. I tried doing a =sum([TextBoxWithTheGroup Average]), but access prompts me for the value of this box when I run the report.
To summarize: is there a way to sum a textbox within the footer of a grouping
I am struggling with building and If Then statement in my Report Footer. I have a report that pulls data from two tables...Students and Homeroom. This gives me a list of the students in each homeroom class and they are separated by homeroom. I would like to use a function in the page footer that counts the number of students who are members of our PTSA organization and then returns a percentage based on the total number of students in each homeroom class.
What I need is for the function to look at the FamilyID field and determine is there is any value entered. Then I need a count the total number of records in that homeroom and the total number of records with a value, so I can then get a percent of how many students actually belong to the PTSA in each homeroom.
In my report when the Group Header and the Detail section will not fit onto one page, it prints the Group Header on one page, and all of the Detail on another page. Is there a way to keep them together?
I have already tried the 'Keep Together' option in the Sorting/Grouping window, setting it to both Whole Group and With First Detail, but nothing seems to work.
My report has an empty Page Header, a Group Header, Detail, and an empty Page Footer.
I have a problem with calculating sum of fields in the footer of subform
The subform consists of following 5 fields Opis kolicina txtCena rabat CenaSpop
Opis is combobox (cbododatki), which takes values from another table (tbldodatki) SELECT DISTINCT [IDdodatki], [Opis], [Cena] FROM tbldodatki ORDER BY [Opis]; Kolicina is enetered manually Rabat is entered manually Cena is calculated with =cbododatki.column(2) Cenaspop is a calculation of [kolicina]*[txtCena]*(1-[rabat])
In such case i cant get Access to calculate the Sum in the footer of the subform
On the other hand, if i add an additional column to the source table (tblPodrobNaroc) of this subform (frmPodrobNaroc) where i enter Cena manually (instead of only being part of cbododatki), then all calculations are fine.
Which option do you reccomend, should i:
a) add to the source table of subform (tblPodrobNaroc) another column with values of Cena from tbldodatki (how is that done?), which would be filled in through cbododatki, and then perform needed calculations b) call Cena in subform in such way that the Access recognizes it (not as cbododatki.column type) and performs the calculation.
I have two forms (attendance & member details). I put the attendance form in the member details form as a subform. My problem is that my attendance form has buttons in the footer that I want to keep (and need), but I don't want them showing up in the subform
I have a form with attached subform from which I can choose which records to send to a report. All records in the base table have a comment text field for the user to enter additional data (comments). Typically, there are none, but when there is, if it is only a single record sent to the report, the comment is printed in the page footer. However, if there are multiple records being sent to the report and only one record has text in the comment field, unless it's the last record it the subform, it will not print in the report. There isn't enough room in the detail section to include the comment field (like I said, it's typically not used and when it is, they can be lengthy). Is there a way to get the comment field to print in the report page footer when it is not either the only record selected, or the last record?
