I've got a word mail merge document that is formatted exactly how I want it. I'm using an Access 2003 database to populate the word 2003 mail merge document.What I would like is to use a access report rather than a mail merge but correctly formatting everything is going to take me forever.
Is there any way I can use the word document I already have to enforce the formatting or must I spend hours positioning each line of text by eye and guessing where on my report it must go to match the word doc?
Is it perhaps possible to "copy" the format of an entire report and "dump" it on another? I have ample of forms and reports and I know how to use the Format Painter - but I need to alter the format of all the other physical reports.

I have a report bound to a query that includes zip codes as a field. Zip codes are formatted in the table as 99999-9999 and display in this format when the query is run. However, when I place that field in the report text box as
=[ContactCity] & ", " & [StateAbbreviation] & " " & [ContactZip]
or even as [ContactZip]
The zip is not formatted.
I have a report with a list of employee names (and other information). A handful of them need to be a different color (other than default). There will always be more than 3, so I can't use the conditional formatting tool.

Is it possible to have different colour fonts in forms automatically?
i want the user to add numerical data into the form but the middle numbers must automatically be coloured red. these numbers are then matched to stickers in the same format for easy identification.
it should look like this 878802
any suggestions?
Many Thanks

Is it possible to change the colour of scroll bars in subForms?
Seems odd that you can easily customise all the colours, yet have to settle with a horrible looking grey scroll bar!
Any help or a 'work-a-around' to the problem would be welcomed.
Thanks
I got the following code from:-
http://www.microsoft-accesssolutions.co.uk/alternate_row_colours.htm
This is to give me alternating row colours in report detail section but cannot make it work.
Please could someone tell me where I am going wrong?
Not sure where to put the bit "Private m_RowCount As Long"
The Rest apparently goes in the report detail section OnFormat event.
Private m_RowCount As Long
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
m_RowCount = m_RowCount + 1
If m_RowCount / 2 = CLng(m_RowCount / 2) Then
Me.Detail.BackColor = 15263976 'Change value to the color you desire
Else
Me.Detail.BackColor = 14811135 'Change value to the color you desire
End If
End Sub
Thank you Guys and Gals.
I need to e-mail weekly reports to several parties, but both Word and Excel are not working for me because I am losing the original formatting. For the sake of consistency and readability I need to preserve the original report format, but I am totally stumped as to how to do this. Please, someone, help!
View 3 Replies View RelatedA report field data is sourced from a query which displays its values as a string eg "George Renee", however in the reports it displays data as a number eg 42. It is true that the query field obtains its data from a table which gets its data through lookup Wizard. I really want the report to display string type.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have browsed a few forums and am still having trouble creating a pie chart that has the proper layout that I would prefer.
I have created a query that will list the data I would like to organize into a pie chart. The query, when run, will prompt the user for a start date and an end date and then display the data in this form:
EmployeeX | SumofProject hours | SumofDemo Hours | SumofAdministration hours | SumofEtc hours (5 other categories of hours)
EmployeeY | SumofProject hours | SumofDemo Hours | SumofAdministration hours | SumofEtc hours (5 other categories of hours)
OK, now that I have the data in this format I would like to create a report that includes tabs for each employee, each tab will have a pie chart that has one employee and a pie chart showing how their hours are allocated to each task. e.g. tab 1 would have Employee X and the pie chart would show what percentage of this employee's hours was dedicated to project/demo/admin/etc...
The first part of the request is to capitalise all the below fields, when they appear on my report in addition to removing any <null> values. I can't seem to get them both in the format area
my fields are
Title
Fname
Sname
Address1
Address2
Address3
Town
Postal
Hi there,
I have being creating some forms with Access 00/02 and I have come across one for me particular strange and somehow annoying item “Colours”.
My question here now is, how would it be possible to use instead of the say ”Back Color: 65280 numbering” a colour scheme similar use in web design i.e. hexadecimal or where at least could I find a list of colour numbering??? as used in Access.
Thanks aktell
Hi I've got some code from http://www.lebans.com/alternatecolordetailsection.htm
It allows for alternate bands of color to be displayed for alternative records in Forms in Continuous View. I've looked in this forum for other alternatives to this but the only ones that are available change the background of a control rather that display a whole row that is filled with colour. So therefore the background of the row is say in red, the background of the text controls are in red.
I've managed to put the code into my form and download the class. The only problem is that I can't seem to set the colour in the actual class file - it's all a little bit confusing! Can you help? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........... :D
You can download the sample database from http://www.lebans.com/alternatecolordetailsection.htm

Hi,
I have a continuous form which has a combo box limited to green, blue, yellow, red, purple and N/A (for blank).
It is possible to make the back ground colour = what is entered into the combo box?
I have been searching and searching and have seen conditional formatting everywhere but it wont help as i need 6 options. I only have basic VB skills and usually can only hack and change not write from scratch:o
Anyone able to help me please.
Can anyone help?!
We are trying to export some reports into a Rich Text format using Access on Office 2003 on a Win XP op system. When doing this on Win 98 the Rich text document was slightly out of line but not too bad. Now we are doing it on XP it is completely out of line and unusable. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Regards
Richard
When you create a column chart and then change one of the series to a line, how can you then apply formatting to that line? I've attached a stripped down database showing what I'm trying to do. Series 1 shows individual monthly values (percentages) and series 2 shows the target which is 80% for each month.
The problem is that although I can apply formatting to the column series, I can't see any way of selecting the line series so I can set the formatting I want. I'm using Access 2003, on Win XP Professional, in case that's important.
I am trying to sum 3 different time fields together in a report that all are the same format but it wont allow me to.
The expression i have built is =Sum([ACDTime]+[AgentRingTime]+[OtherTime])
but I get back a error message saying...
"This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."
In my report, I have combo boxes that display numbers (for example min_revenue and max_revenue).
In case of a "0" or "999.999", I would like to display "n/a" within the combo-boxes.
I would like to avoid doing this within the table, because I would like to keep the data type in number format.
Remark: I confused "combo-box" with "text box". I'm using text boxes, which are supplied with values from a table
I have a field in my report [Idle]
This has a time in a HH:MM:SS format (so 01:38:23)
What I need to be able to do is sum this greater than 24 hours and keep the format of HH:MM:SS - ideally I need to do this in the form field that I'll be using to sum it.
I have created a report from a query. The report contains some numeric fields.
I have set the format of the numeric fields to #,###;#,###;0;0;
Despite this setting, my report is showing numbers as #.###
I have a Query derived from a single Table in Access 2010 which I routinely export in spreadsheet format.
I have now built a report from the Query in which has labels have been added to suit an external agency. I wish to export this Report in Excel format, but the resulting file does not include the additional labels and is merely an xls version of the underlying query.
Is there an alternative method of achieving what I need?
can't find how to add today's date to a report formatted as "August 30, 2014." I can't understand why that's not one of the options when inserting a date.
