Reports :: How To Run A Report While Just Entering Parameters Once
Aug 12, 2014
I've made a report on a blank report template. I've dropped in 5 sub reports. I have entered into the criteria for each of the queries based on [forms]![ClientForm]!CleintID. to run the report. It wortks but I have to enter the ClientID 5 times. Usually, when I create a button to run the form from, it only asks for the CleintID once. The 5 reports are based on 3 separate queries.
I have an report that uses name paramaters.this is the sql for the report
Code:
PARAMETERS [whatCompany] Text ( 255 ); SELECT tblInvoices.ClientCompany, tblInvoices_Details.Charge, Sum(tblInvoices_Details.Hours) AS SumOfHours, tblInvoices.InvoiceID FROM tblInvoices INNER JOIN tblInvoices_Details ON tblInvoices.InvoiceID = tblInvoices_Details.InvoiceID GROUP BY tblInvoices.ClientCompany, tblInvoices_Details.Charge, tblInvoices.InvoiceID HAVING (((tblInvoices.ClientCompany)=[whatCompany]));
How do I pass the paramaters to the report? I've tried several different ways but can't get it to work
Code: Dim stdocname As String Dim stLink As String stdocname = "RptWithParm" stLink = "ClientCompany = " & "'" & Me.lstCustomer & "'" 'Using the field name doesn't work DoCmd.OpenReport stdocname, acViewReport, , stLink
'When I try to set the value of the paramater that doesn't work either stLink = "[whatCompany] = " & "'" & Me.lstCustomer & "'" 'using the paramater name doesn't work DoCmd.OpenReport stdocname, acViewReport, , stLink
I know I could use the value of the form in the criteria like this
Code: HAVING (((tblInvoices.ClientCompany)=[Forms]![frmTesRptParm]![lstCustomer]));
If I use the list box as the criteria I want to be able to use reports in other than one place, plus there are over 80,000 records and it'll run faster if I set the criteria before the report opens instead of setting a filter after it opens to only show up to about 100.
I have a navigation form that will have 6-8 tabs. We were using about that many databases, but we are finally consolidating them into one. The result of us using so many databases has been the multitude of forms and reports that were necessary for each database prior to merging them together.
The problem: There will be anywhere from 12-20 (text boxes) that the user can use to search anything in our database. What we need to have happen, if possible, is for those search parameters to show up in the header of our report if they have text in them. If the text box is blank, it should not show up in the header of the report.
I have read how to to do the start/end date technique, but I do not know if that would work for what we are doing since the boxes would only show up if they are populated by the user.
What I have is a single table that I need to create a report from. It has vehicle unit numbers, dates of service, repair details and costs. I am trying to generate a report where I can select a unit from a combobox and enter a date range.
I have a form that the user can add Work Order numbers to a text box and pass them to a listbox to collect 1 or more values. Each of which need a separate report with the labour hours for each Work Order.
I am having issues figuring out how to get it to pass them to a query or filter the reports.
I have tried many different examples and nothing seems to work.
I have five subreports in one report, and each one ask the same information, Starting Date, Ending Date and Employee Name. I would like to have it so that I can enter the Starting Date, Ending Date and the Employee Name once for each of these subreports, then print. It is a pain in the butt to have to enter this information 5 times before the report will be generated.
I built a database off of the access wizard and it gives me the capability to enter date parameters before running my reports, than displaying the revised report. I.E. I am prompted to enter start and finish dates, and then after entering this info and hitting a button to preview the report, the only data displayed is that that falls into that date range.
I have created a new report that wasn't built into the wizard. This report "hits" an underlying query. I have also added a button on the switch manager to preview the report. I want a user to be able to click that preview report item on the switch manager, then be prompted to enter start and finish date information, then hit an ok button, then have the report with the relevant information displayed.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have entered an unbound text control into my footer, and typed in some text, and now when I go to Preview my report it's asking for a Parameter Value? There is no parameter, as it's just a return address typed in there. That's crazy!!!
I've created a database where I have all the information for people like name, address, etc. Then there's a list box to choose what events they will be attending. I want to be able to run a report and see all the information for the people who are attending any specific event. Is there a way to create a form where I can click a button then it brings up the screen to choose the parameters of my report, then generates the report? Thanks!
I am trying to figure what code to use. What i am trying to accomplish is when the use clicks to open a report i want a form to open and make them choose from a combo box a "training activity". then the report will generate info for that activity only.
I have a contract management database where contracts have a start date and an end date. I also have a date parameter set up whereby I can show live contracts between overlapping records.
I want to be able to count the number of days for each contract that is live between the dates of the parameters.
For example my contract might run from 1st to 30th November but I might want to report from 10th October to 10th November so the number of days I need the query to return is 10 days as my contract is not live before the 1st November. Or my query might run from 1st October to 31st December, then I would need it to show 30 days as it covers the whole of this contract.
I have a report with a nested Subreport. Main Report>Subreport1>Subreport2, for simplicity.
I have master/child set up for both Subreports, but I would also like to filter the Subreport2 records with a date range parameter.
Is there a way to get the Subreport2 where clause to recognize the Subreport1 control I want to use for the date range?
So far I have tried:
Between Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![report]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport]![Collection_Date]) And (Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![report]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport]![Collection_Date])+0.9)
Between Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport]![Collection_Date]) And (Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport]![Collection_Date])+0.9)
and
Between Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport].[Report]![Collection_Date]) And (Int([Reports]![Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset]![QC_Static_Processing_Subreport].[Report]![Collection_Date])+0.9)
where Processing_Performance_Req_Dataset = Main Report QC_Static_Processing_Subreport = Subreport1 and Collection_Date = textbox control on Subreport2.
Is there a syntax error? I have other, single level, Subreports on the main report with a similar data range parameter that work just fine. Or does this type of parameter input not work on second level Subreports? Every time I run the main report it asks me for a parameter but doesn't accept my input, and Subreport2 doesn't load any records.
I have a field in a table called reasons. Then I have a list of possible reasons in a drop down list for my form. I want to create a report that allows the user to select from a drop down of these reasons and do a query for only those records with that specific reason. I know you can ask that info be typed in by using brackets in the query but instead of typing the reason I want to be able to select from the drop down list to produce the report. Can this be done?
The input form of the database have one common table containing data for all parameters for row source. As all data was in one table had one ID. My problem is I am trying to run reports from a form after selecting dates and parameters.
For selecting parameters I created dynamic combo box. For dynamic combo box I needed ID and description of the parameters. So I created separate tables for each parameter with ID and Description column. Which ran me into the problem that when I run report based on main input form which has different row source table and my report form has different row source tables and reports doesn't run when I base my queries on the report form.
I created a report using wizard and altered the parameters to what I need on my report and saved it as a new autoformat. The autoformat did not retain the parameter adjustments I made...only the basic format...no size changes...grouping I added ...a seperator line between the groups and the bound items I deleted that I did not want were still there. All I want to do is to be able to use the report format I created numerous times as it is without me having to go in and make adjustments with each query I pull a report from. There are several different query's with different tables involved. To sum it up one report format to use multiple times....Help Please!
I would like to run a report that uses a stored procedure with parameters. Is there a way I can pass the parameters from the report to the stored procedure? I am NOT running it from a form.
I want to call the report from VBA code and pass it the parameters that are necessary to run the stored procedure. Any ideas?
I need the following report to open with date parameters. I have the following code, but it doesn't quite work.
When an item is chosen from Modl (a list box) a box pops up asking for LowPop, then another for Start Year and then another for End Year.
Those last two aren't doing what they should. They should restrice the [Date] field to between the years entered as start and end. I would like to put it in the "OpenReport" line, but don't think that's going to work.
Code: Private Sub Command27_Click() Dim varItm As Variant Dim ModelWhere As String Dim strQuery Dim LowPop As String Dim SDate As Date
what i have is a form (image attached) and i need to be able to select any combination of parameters (including state, zipcode from GENERAL, i.e. referring doctor last name from RefMD, Drugname from Drugs, Diagnosisname from Diagnosis, and VisitType from Encounters) and filter PatientForm where all the selected parameters are true..
I'm pretty new to Access, so if I'm doing this the hard way, that's why.
I work in a quality control position, and I'm trying to set up a single Access database for the QC staff to use instead of everyone having their own seperate Excel workbooks.
The issue I'm running into at the moment is on a report. Each record is graded on four seperate types of criteria, Error Type 1, Error Type 2, Error Type 3 and Error Type 4, all of which need to be reported on seperately. So I have at least four queries set up, all with the same parameters (right now, just review date.) I'm trying to pull through all four queries on the same report, and so far I've had success having the report ask for the parameters only once and then applying it to all four queries. However, I'm running into a problem where Access is now forcing the filters of each individual query on to each of the other three queries, so it's only pulling through records for all four queries that match the criteria of all four. Any record which only matches the criteria of one, two or three of the queries is being left off the report.
Sorry if this sounds confusing. Anyone have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong?
I would like to have a user enter a start date and an end date into two textboxes on a form. The two dates will be used to query a table. I would then like to print a report that was created from that query.
Here is the query created as a stored procedure:
SELECT Transactions.*, Hoods.* FROM Hoods INNER JOIN Transactions ON [Hoods].[ID]=[Transactions].[BoxID] WHERE ([Transactions].[Date] Between [@StartDate] And [@EndDate]) ORDER BY [Transactions].[Date];
What would be the best way to pass txtStartDate to @StartDate and txtEndDate to @EndDate in the VBA code of the form? How would I open or print the report created from that query filtered on that date range?
Any suggestions? Am I going about it wrong? Should I have created the report from the above query, or should I do it another way? Can anyone direct me to some code that does all of the above or something similiar?
I very new to Access. I am using the Contact Database template from MS and added a field of text. I am trying to get a query to search the field for partial text. I've typed the following parameter to narrow it down because I only need partial information:
Like "*" & [How are the contacts involved in Organization?] & "*"
I used the query builder off of a report that was already created. I just want to be able to get contacts on the report that match the parameters inputted into the box.
When I run the report it gives me the following error:"You either have an error in your expression or you have attempted to use an undeclared parameter. Check the expression for errors or enter the parameter '[How are the contacts involved in Organization?]' in the Query Parameters dialog."I hit OK and it pulls up the report without data filled in.
I have a command button (well, I have a few) that I would like to open a report, first opening a form that allows the user to enter a start and end date.
The code so far is:
On Error Resume Next If Err = 2501 Then Err.Clear DoCmd.OpenForm "DateSelect", acNormal DoCmd.OpenReport "All Events Report", acPreview
Now, when run, this code opens the form (DateSelect), but the report starts to run immediately - the On No Data event of the report kicks in (message box along the lines of "No data, closing report", so before the user has the opportunity to enter the dates, the report has decided that there is no data an closes.
Is there a way to pause the opening of the report until after the OK button is clicked on the pop up form?
Just for the sake of clarity, the pop-up form DateSelect is used to open various reports, so I can't add the open report command to the code for the OK button (that I know of?)
