Reports :: Forced Page Break(s) In Access 2007 Report
Sep 30, 2013
I am writing a book, using MS Access 2007 (seemed like a good idea at the time I started, and the report that creates the formatted book content works quite well).
The book content is "per paragraph" which gives me total flexibility to move content to whatever spot in the book I might wish, simply by changing the paragraph number (free field, not auto-number primary).
To save paper (or pages) in printing (or viewing) the book, I have the report printing off para by para (as many whole paras as will fit to a page). This is fine but I want each new chapter to start at a forced new page, for "presentation"/appearance sake.
The relevant fields for the purposes of this post are:
paranumber
paratext
chapternumber
forcepageifticked (a Yes/No box), which goes with each paragraph and which I thought might come in handy, I had in mind to link it to a page break control at the top of the "detail" part of the report in design view, and which would be "invisible" except if the report formatting process had got to the start of any chapter, and the Yes/no box was ticked.
I am trying to page break my report to have it where the first name and surname of the employee has a separate page with the details of each appointment.
I have tried to do it via format on properties but it does not work..
I have attached an image of how the report appears.
I created a report that would generate, among others, a listbox on monthly payments. How do I make it spill-over to the next page when its contents have already exceeded that of a single paper?
I have been working on this for over a week in Access 2010 and I know that I am almost there, but need getting over this last hurdle as I have a severe case of tunnel vision on this while I am trying to get it to work.
I have a Main Report based on my Element table and a subreport based on my OTC table. There is a one-to-many relationship between the Element and the OTC table.My Master / Child Fields between the two reports are as follows: ElementID;GroupNum
My SQL for the Main report is:
Code: SELECT Val(DCount("*","Element","ElementID=" & [ElementID] & " AND Step <" & [Step]))2 AS GroupNum, Element.ElementID, Element.ProcessID, Element.ModelID, Element.Step, Element.ElementDescription, Element.RevDate, Element.GPCFS, Element.TrainingGate FROM Element
[code]...
As an example in testing this report, I am looking at a specific Element with 33 records and a total of 72 OTC records. Each of the 33 records can have 1 or 2 or 3 or up to 4 OTC records but the report is only 17 pages which tells me that the page break is occuring based on the ElementID and not on the OTC records....
I have a report which is grouped by employee number - each group can have one or many records displayed - it works fine, but can look untidy sometimes when there are more records than will fit without wrapping onto another page; this is particularly prevalent when there are two or three groups - the third one may run over onto the next page, without group headers.
Is there anyway to force a page break at the bottom of a group if that group is not going to fit on the current page in its entirety?
I've created a report based on a query that shows me the jobs that have been added to tblJobs between two selected dates.
The report works fine and displays all the information I need, however other than being sorted by day of the week i.e. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc. The records just run on one after another.
I want to create a page break, so that a full week is shown on a single page before then forcing a new page when it moves in to the next week.
I have an access table stored with information of different people. Each person has his own personID. To print that information i need 1 page per person. So I made a report grouped based on the PersonID and inserted a pagebreak after that section. It worked perfectly untill I needed to customize the layout of each page based on other information of the table.
For example; I want the textboxs for person1 on the form to be put closer to each other than for person 2. I use VBA to control the layout of the report which worked perfectly, but i dont know how to control the layout with VBA for each specific page.
I have created a report with the report wizard in Access 2007 that includes a check box. The check box is located under the label but to the far left side. How can I center the check box under the label?
Upon opening a report (it does this randomly), the report opens and it is completelty blank - no lines, lables, or fields - nothing. However, when I click on an area, the group I clicked on will render and display perfectly. So when this happens, I either have to click every where on the page or scrolling up and down (if the report is long enough) will render the whole report. It doesn't do this everytime; about 25% of the time though.
As you can imagine, when other people use the database and this happens, they freak and just think access is broken. What is causing this or what can be done to prevent this from happening?
I have DB in access 2007. I have a report that is uses a select query to generate the information for the report. It has been working great, But however lately like maybe with in the last month, it has been causeing Access 2007 to crash. I am having the same issue with another DB that uses the same information but that information is imported in. both Databases have worked great up until two months ago. Microsoft states that it is because of the program. I have tried to repair the DB by using the Repair option. I am confused as to why this would be happening. I can create a new report and it seems to work. but I do not want to change all the DB on everyone's computer just for this reason. I also have two buttons on my report that utilize macros to close or print the report.
I have a lovely report that includes a small color photograph. I'm sending the report to print on my HP Color LaserJet, but it is printing in black and white.
I can't find anything in the Properties that specifies whether this prints in color or black & white.
Hi I've just moved my PC over to Office 2007. I have previously created an application in A2003 that consists of three databases which I move between frequently using command buttons running the following code to close the current one and open the new one:-
Private Sub Command14_Click() Dim RegSet As New QwestLib.QRegistryFunctions On Error GoTo Err_command14_Click
Application.Quit acQuitSaveAll Exit_command14_Click: Exit Sub
Err_command14_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_command14_Click End Sub
In 2003 this worked fine but we always had to enable macros on opening the new one. This is now not required as the application is "Trusted" but in A2007 every time a database opens the "Getting Started with MS Access" window opens.
Is there some way I can switch this off as it is unnecessary and time consuming.
Hey, I tried searching for this one, but I'm not really sure what to search for.
I am running a report that is double sided. However, I do not want the start of the next group, on the same physical page. I also do not want a starting blank page (as I thought about inserting a blank page after the section).
Any way to do this?
Maybe I have to write a function or something? Depending on if the page is an even or odd number? I honestly have no idea.
Is it possible to do conditional formating after a page break?
I have been given someone elses mess to clean up. It is a massive procedure which runs dozens of queries, then formats the results and pastes them into a word file at given bookmarks
For most tables there is one record for each lake. However there are several where many entries per lake. The logic being applied is that the font colour for the column is made white, then for each first instance of a lake name the font colour for that cell is made black again.
The problem is there are many times were the first row of data on a new page is not the first record for a particular lake making the reader have to flip back to the previous page to double check which lake they are looking at data for.
So what I want to do is leave the existing logic, and just add turning additional cell's (Column 1, after a page break) font colour back to black.
Is it possible to use a formula in the Caption property of a page in a tab control (i.e. to make it dynamic)
I have a number of tabs each with their own subform (with each subform driven by its own unique query)
I'd like the tab name to include the number of records returned by that query (so as records are added, the tab name is automatically updated with the new number)
So something along the lines of :
Page 1 (" & DCount("[ID]","[qryQuery1]") & ")"
Such that the page name appears as :
Page 1 (7)
I know I can code this programmatically but then that code has to be triggered by some event and I need the counts to be as real-time as feasibly possible rather than requiring the user to click on a control to trigger it. I was hoping by using a formula directly in the Caption property of the page, it would be dynamically updated every time a new record was added without the need to trigger an event first.
I'm using Access 2010.My reports are all crowding the left margin, with the reports printed in Landscape being the worst.My Page Setup shows Top and Bottom margins are 0.2 inches, Left is 0.35 and Right is 0.213.
Paper size is 8.5 x 11, in Landscape Mode.
1 column.
Column is 10.4"
I'm getting that error that says that the report is wider than the paper so I may get blank pages, but I don't. It just prints the 6 pages of the report.The Report Property Sheet says the report is 10.5104" and I cannot for the life of me get that to change.
When it prints, there is absolutely no margin on the left side (in landscape mode). When the report renders on the screen, it appears to be perfectly aligned.Reports printed in Portrait mode have extra white space at the top, with the footer being printed right along the bottom edge of the paper.
I have a report that is generating a few pages, but I am only interested in the first page only. I have tried adding in code to cancel everything after the first page, but this just gives me a blank second page:
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) Cancel = Me.Page > 1 End Sub Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) Cancel = Me.Page > 1 End Sub Private Sub PageHeaderSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) Cancel = Me.Page > 1 End Sub
I am outputting this report to PDF, and it is very annoying to have a blank page.
Is there a way to force the report to only be one page in length.
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 am having a DB and a report is there from query now what i want is ;
if query fields are apple, bat, cat, dog, elephant and I want in report the first three fields like apple, bat, cat to be displayed at first page then remaining on next and so on. Whereas I have a proper report header and footer which I do not want to change for any page means will remain same for all pages..
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.
