How to fix the height and width of a report. I would like the report to stay landscape, 100mm wide, 62mm high. This is required by a label printer.
The issue is that a A4 laser printer has to be set as default (for other software) so when the report is launched the size is set to the default printer size, when I select the label printer it fails as it is the wrong size.
Since many years I "fight" with pop-up forms, as in endless view I cannot figure out HOW to fix the height.
Some forms keep a height which was set by the System and it is suitable others have the full height of the Screen and I cannot find any Setting which can influence them.
How to define or to fix the height.
It only works when I set the border to "changeable", but not when I want to fix a height by Setting the border to "Dialog" ....
Hi,
Does anyone know how to set the application's width and height? I have an access application and I want to resize the applicatoins' with and height, NOT the forms!
is this possible?
greetings

I have a report which will be printed on preprinted paper. On this paper a footer is printed with e.g. address info.
The report has a detail section with a height of 3,5 inch and canGrow=true.
The reportFooter contains totals. The size of this footer, and placements of the fields prevents printing data on the pre-printed footer of the paper.
But when the report has multiple pages, the report footer will be printed on the laste page, and the detail section is expanding to the bottom of the paper, overwriting the pre-printed footer. I need a max height of the detail section, or another solution.
Is it possible to make it so that whatever the dimensions of the image i paste the OLE object's frame will also be the same? I'm having a problem, not necessarily a problem more like a preference, I'm inserting pictures of each individual inside a database and whomever last took these pictures didn't make sure there was a standard size So all the images are different sizes and when they're put inside the OLE frame you can see the image inside it but the frame itself also shows its white background because the image isn't the full dimensions of the frame. I was thinking if it's possible to make the frame automatically adjust to the image's width & height.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn the detail section of my report, I recently added a second row which has only 1 text field. When the value of the textbox in the 2nd row is null, I want the total row height equal to just the first row. When the value in the textbox in the 2nd row is not null, then the total row height is equal to row 1 and 2. I tried to make the textbox in the second row invisible when it had a null value thinking that when it was null, the report would shrink to the first row height, but that didn't seem to work.

When the user click the button, then it will give out a popup form to the screen, but I want to make the popup form's height as same as the screen/window/monitor's height, because the popup form's height is larger than the screen's height, and every user's monitor's height is different. So, I have to make it flexiable change of the height of the popup form.
How can I check the screen/window height by VBA function?
In Excel, it has Application.Height to check. In MS Access Form, I cannot find one for doing that.
Please let me know if you have one.
Thanks.
I have an existing report with a number of fields arranged horizontally in a tabular fashion in the detail section. The first field is an identifying line of text and the remaining fields are numerical calculations. The report is basically a simple profitability estimate report for a number of different products.
Behind the fields of data is another text box that is blank, which stretches across all the horizontal fields, and which changes background color using conditional formatting. When printing, this colors the whole row according to that criteria (it changes color based on the relative profitability of each product in the report).
The problem I'm having is that the first line of identifying text can sometimes overflow.
I've set the Can Grow property to Yes for this and all other controls in the Detail section. But the result is sometimes some funny-looking formatting. The identifier (like "Product XYZ with a really long description") will word-wrap, but every other field in that row maintains their own height. In particular, this makes the coloring of the conditionally formatted row look off, because it provides only one line's worth of color, even though the product description has wrapped to two lines.
How I can resize all the controls in the Detail section based on the height of the tallest control, and keep the whole thing dynamic?
Things I've tried: I've tried putting some VBA in either the OnFormat or the OnPrint events that iterates through the controls in the section and resets their heights. In the "OnFormat" event, nothing happens (no errors and no apparent changes in the appearance of the report). In the "OnPrint" event, I get an error that says the height property cannot be changed during a print or print preview.
The VBA I tried using was as follows:
Code:
Dim ctlIt As Control
Dim lngMaxHeight As Long
For Each ctlIt In Me.Controls
If ctlIt.ControlType = acTextBox Then
[Code] ....
I have a report that prints lab tests. One section has 4 columns that are framed. Only the first control (STest) expands to more than one line. The Can Grow works on this control and subsequently the section expands. I need a code that expands the height of the other three controls to match that of STest. I am using office 2010.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have to print address labels. 10 x 3.8 cm labels 2 per row 14 per page on an A4 paper. Pretty straightforward one should say. But no. I play around with the margins, column heights and widths, row and column spacing page size wasting time. Is there a hidden and not documented relationship between those elements? For example how is the column height and row spacing linked together? How is this normally done in a professional way?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on a report that will have 16 sub-reports, one right below the other. Because of the complex nature of the calculations in the groupings it seemed easier to "build" the report using vba rather than using the report's built-in grouping ability. The issue I am running into is that there seems to be no simple way to control the height of the sub-reports. I had hoped that setting "can grow" to yes would change the height of the sub reports and move all subsequent sub reports down (Allas)
As an alternative I thought too that I might be able to set the height of the sub-report control, which would make for a tricky but not impossible bit of programming, but (Again allas) I can't seem to find a reasonable way to determine the required height of the sub-report's control.
I have set up a report in Access. However, when I look at it in print preview, I get the message that the section width is greater than the page width, and that some pages will be blank. It is obvious that the Detail Section is the issue, but I can't figure out how to reduce the section width. The detail section only contains a few text boxes that are well within the margins of the other sections.
How do I adjust the section width so there won't be any blank pages?
Helo,
I am trying to resolve a minor issue with a companies database that is somewhat important to them. During one of the many crashes and other issues presented by the computer it operates on, a glitch occurred in the database, and I am hoping to find a way to resolve it.
I have tried using DAO.OpenDatabase, as well as just double-clicking on the .mdb file, and either way i get this 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.
Of course, this is not the case, nobody else is even trying to access the database, however due to security concerns of the original design, the database is sort of stuck in a loop. Is there a programmatic way, via VB, DAO, or ADODB to call out to the database and "reset" this issue. Via an "update()" call, or a "logoff" call, or eh, maybe even an "open readonly" which will allow me to view and copy the data within.
Thank you,

When I added some Access 2003 (Winows XP) machines to our Access 2000 (on Windows 2k)-based database, many of them would not operate some of the Switchboard "buttons" (especially for reports that contained macros). The animation of "click" would operate, but nothing would happen, no form or report would occur like it should.
After several rounds with Microsoft's Access Help guys, here's how we "fixed" it:
1. I deleted all printers from the affected user's computer.
2. I booted into SAFE MODE with NETWORKING, then installed the Windows-based GENERIC TEXT printer.
3. I rebooted into XP and installed the GENERIC TEXT printer there also, for the affected users.
4. I re-installed the usual office printers around our office.
This completely fixed the problem on all XP-based computers. The technician at Microsoft says he cannot explain WHY this works, but I have experienced that it DOES work, so try it if you're having troubles, too. It's some kind of mysterious workaround that "fixes" Windows XP somehow.
I have a set of two queries (which I'll call A and B, for convenience). Query A reads a table containing customer order numbers, a sequentially-assigned line number for each item requested by a customer on a particular order, and a part number associated with each order line. The line numbers are not integers, but run out to three decimals - so 1.000, 1.100, 1.150, 1.200, etc. would all be valid line numbers. All Query A does is to sort the table, with the primary (first) sort being order number, and with line number being the secondary (2nd) sort. Each record also contains a field equal to the integer value of the line number, so for lines 1.000, 1.100, 1.150, 1.200, this third value would always be 1; similarly, for lines 2.000, 2.100, and 2.200, the third value would be 2.
Query B uses query A as its source of input, and performs grouping (using the "Group By" function) so that query B's output displays only one record for each unique combination of customer order number and INTEGER line number; the part number displayed on each row of query B's output is supposed to be the part number on the first row of query A's output whose order number and integer line number correspond to each group in query B. (I am using the syntax of "First(Part Number)" in query B to report this.) This seems to be working most of the time, but not consistently; sometimes, for each unique order number / integer line number combination, Query B reports a part number from the wrong row of Query A. So, for example, order 12345, integer line 1, as reported from query B, may report the part number on line 1.300 from Query A, instead of line 1.000 from query A as intended.
Does anyone know a fix for this? I've got a team of anxious coworkers who are hoping for it.
Thanks a lot!
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'.
We have a shift log that includes both personnel actions during any given day as well as operational actions. (We recently switched from a word document to an Access Database to allow multiple users to input events while another has the logbook open already (which you couldn't do with Word))
At the beginning of each day, my manager reviews the previous days log and forwards up pertinent data (some personnel, some operational) to our higher authorities. Is there a way to allow him to select which records he'd like to include on that higher-authorities report straight from the local-level report?
I'm not a fan of allowing him a "Save As" feature because that kind of defeats the data integrity purpose of an events log where he could save as an RTF and then edit any of the log entries without any checks or balances.
I have an odd thing happening with my reports. There is a main report that gives class information (from query). There are two subreports (from queries also ) with scores (one for each type of test). There are some unbound controls on the main form that display a count of how many scores are recorded which are totals from the subreports. The controls all report the correct numbers however, when I scroll down to view each record, some of them change to #error, or #name, or similar for a moment. Sometimes they will stay in error form when I stop scrolling but change to correct if I scroll up just a bit. Is this because the controls won't calculate unless that report record has focus?
