I am creating a database that people can upload links to pictures within the database. (I do not want them to upload the pictures themselves because I am afraid the data will get to large - or am I misunderstanding how pictures are added to a database in access?) Now I want to be able to put those pictures in some reports.
Questions:
1) is it possible to insert a picture from a link (instead of an attached picture)?
2) If not would it work if I uploaded the picture to the database?
3) Am I incorrect about the way access deals with uploaded pictures? Does it just save a link or does it actually upload a picture into the database making it that much larger?
I have been tasked with creating a database to log employee suggestions and then automatically present reports around the site. I have developed the database and it works OK and can output *.PDF reports, but I'm having problems with how to display these reports. My idea was to output the reports automatically as *.TIFF or *.JPG files and have them stored in a folder that the My Pictures screensaver uses. The reports (in fact, any site report stored in this folder) can then be shown on any screen dotted around the site when it goes into screensaver mode. However I can't find any way to output/convert to a picture file.
The other option is to create a webpage that rotates through the saved PDFs, but this isn't ideal as the PC users will have to load the webpage to display the reports.
I have a Report containing a sub-report which holds the pictures. Typically there are 3-4 pictures per A4 page and 2-3 pages, so not millions, but for some reason whenever I load I get between 1-3 pictures a page and the rest show as blank. I can repeatedly reload time after time and get a seemingly random number of successful images.
The original images are on a network drive (but connectivity is good). They are high quality images but the load time isn't that bad (Is there a 'normal' load time for these things?) I wonder if it's just timing out after the first X pictures..
I was recently doing a little Spring Cleaning in my database and deleting old tables and queries that were no longer used or had been for experimental purposes. Unfortunately, I unknowingly deleted a query that was being used by a report I still needed and it took me several hours to find and correct the problem.
Not wanting to repeat this mistake, I began searching for a way to display my reports, queries, and tables and all the objects each is linked to. I thought it would be nice, for instance, to have a hard copy list of all my queries that showed where they are derived from and what other objects reference them. Is there a way to do this?
I've tried using the "Relationships" button and working with the Documenter, but I haven't found what I'm looking for. I have also tried a Google search, but, admittedly, I may not be using the proper terminology to get good results.
I am using 97 and have been running into problems with tutorials from microsoft since they are in 2000 format. Its not a big difference so maybe I just cant figure it out...
Anyways, I wanted to make a list of the reports I had for the user to click on one and have it pop up. Anyone know how I can make this list?
My idea is to somehow create the names in the list box using a query or something and have them be links to the report somehow...
I have successfully used the recommended way to display images from a folder in a form as posted on the microsoft website.

These instructions were for Access 2000. I noticed that there are seperate instructions for doing this using Access 2003.:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285820/
My questions are: 1. If multiple users access this database using different versions of Access (2000 and 2003) will it not work for some? 2. do i have to modify code if i update to 2003?
I need to do something in excel but I have never used excel before. I need to make a form with a box. When you click on the box it shhould promt you to add a picture to the box. It should also format the picture so that it is the same size as the box. So far we have the box, but we still need to figure out what code to input so that it prompts you to add an image and then resizes it to fit the box. This is the code we have so far:
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) .Title = "Seleccione la imagen" .Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*" .Filters.Add "JPEGs", "*.jpg" .Filters.Add "Bitmaps", "*.bmp" .FilterIndex = 3 .AllowMultiSelect = False .InitialFileName = Application.Path result = .Show If (result <> 0) Then fileName = Trim(.SelectedItems.Item(1)) Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(fileName)
End If End With
I am not sure if this can be done in excel or if I have to use another application to do this. I need to figure this out within the next couple of days, so if you have ANY idea of how to do this please post a response.
I can not get a line graph inserted into a report by using the Wizard. I have 2 columns of paired data that I want to graph. I dragged the 2 columns to the "Data" control in the wizard and changed summarizing for both columns from "sum" to "none".
When I look at the report in Print Preview, the data points are stacked vertically in the center of the graph and the "Series" box displays what looks like the data. If I add a Date/Time column as the X-axis, I am told that I have to summarize the data, something I don't want to do.
I've made various selections using the wizard and all fail.
I have a report, which is based on query that links various table.
There is also a form, which starts when the report opens, which has dual function: 1.) user selects criteria to filter out only particular customer but 2.) is for user to add some new data that are not available in query/linked tables.
I need to be able to create now a command button that would add all records from the report to for example 'Report Table'. My report has a tabular form but I have also lots of text-boxes in Report Header that would need to be added too.
I am wanting to insert a Barcode ActiveX control, but it is not listed. In an instruction video, after clicking on ActiveX Controls, the one named "ABarcode ActiveX" is at the top of the list.=how I can obtain this.
I have a main report / subreport relation, just want to have a fixed length of each printout. e.g the total number of lines of the subreport should be 8 lines. However, lots of subreports contain records less than 8. I would like to know how to insert of blank line in the subreport depending on the records with content at each print, in order to make the total number of lines in each subreport is 8 each print!!
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 editing a database that provides the option of creating custom reports, where the user can input a date range of their choice and receive aggregate data for that time frame. Although all of the numbers in the report are correct, I am having trouble with a chart that I inserted into the report.
Specifically, if the date range requested spans 2 calendar years (i.e. April 2014 through January 2015), the data for January 2015 appears at the beginning of the year (so the chart x-axis is for Jan through Dec, and the Jan 2015 data is showing up in Jan (as if it was 2014, not the end of the given range in 2015). When I try with smaller time frames within a calendar year, it adjusts just fine (i.e. shrinking the window so just March-May is displayed on the graph).
How to adjust the axis so that it properly records the data range- so that it would start the axis with April and end in January, for example?
In my tables i have used calculated fields. one of the fields is to "total expenses." In a report, i need to show the sum of all the "total expenses", the filed populates in the report but the cents are missing. for example if the amount is 6080.40 it shows as 6080. how can i get around this? I have tried changing the decimal point value to 2 at which point the value turns to 6080.00 when it should be 6080.40 (i am a beginner at this i am assuming the answer will probably involve c++ or visual basic's, two concepts i am not familiar with.)
I am still trying to get a hang of development in access 2010.
I would like to design a form with a listbox or a combobox which holds all 8 of my reports (a table has all the reports), with a Print and a Preview view buttons. In addition, the user must be able to select if they want to view the report by month, quarter and the year in question.
How do i have a specific report print or previewed based on the value selected in the listbox or combobox and the date criteria.
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 print a report onto labels (Avery 5960: 3 columns of 10 labels on a letter sized piece of paper). The report and labels print fine BUT...
I need physical page breaks between certain sections. When I click on "keep whole group together on one page" in the "group by" section of the report, it starts a new COLUMN of labels (which Access sees as a new page), but does not force an actual new piece of paper.
I have date picker which works correctly in form. When I put that form as subform to reports header calendar shows up but after selecting date on calendar textbox stays blank. Format of textbox is Short Date, Show date picker property is For dates.
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 have a continuous form that displays a list of invoices (frmInvoiceList) based on an adjustable filter contained within the form. I have the filters working the way that I want them through VBa and I have a button on each record to open a report (rptInvoice). Inside that report, I have some controls to "print", "email", and "export to PDF". Again all that works just the way I want. The Form and the Report are based on a different query and each has an InvoiceID field to link.
What I am trying to do is put the Print, Email, and Export buttons on the main form which would perform the appropriate action for all the records that are displayed on the form. I've been able to get the Print function to work to a degree. It will print all the records, but it changes the background colors based on the alternating records. When I go to Email or Export, it creates a single file with multiple pages and each page is a new record, again with the alternating background colors.
Ideally, I would like to have a separate file exported for each record that can be renamed and archived separately. I'm not so concerned with the email function but if it would be possible to generate a separate report for each invoice, then pull the appropriate email address for the record, that would be really nice.
I've tried some "for" and "do" loops that I found through some Googling but none of the samples ended up working like I wanted.
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).
I am trying to pass a date range parameter & an additional parameter (Type of Audit) to 6 subreports based off individual crosstab queries and housed on one Unbound Report ("rptFinal").I have an Unbound Form "frmDate" passing a date range and Type of Audit using [Start Date] and [End Date] to rptFinal with a button that simply opens the rptFinal as follows:
In each Crosstab query, I have set the parameter criteria (in both the Parameter section & the query itself) to:
[Forms]![FrmDate]![Start Date] And [Forms]![FrmDate]![End Date] and also, [Forms]![FrmDate]![Enter Type of Audit]
On each subreports On Load Event, I have added:
Private Sub Report_Load() Me.Filter = "[DteAuditDate] BETWEEN #" & Forms!frmDate![Start Date] & "# AND #" & Forms!frmDate![End Date] & "#" Me.Filter = "[Type of Audit] = #" & Forms!frmDate![Enter Type of Audit] & "#" End Sub
and I've set the Filter On Load property to: Yes..I can open frmDate, fill in the date and Type of Audit, launch the report and it runs with no error, I have 6 blank subreports in report Preview. The headers are showing up but none of the data.
