Reports :: Make Fields Invisible In Detail Or Field Header?
Aug 20, 2013
Is there a simple way, or special event, that can be used to turn off the visibility of fields when they are in the detail or in a created header for a field?
I tried using the report's Load event, but this kept giving me errors. Are any of the events in the detail able to allow this?
I'm trying to create a report where I can use a section header as a hyperlink to show/hide detail, but only for that section. For example, my customer names are:
Code: ABC Co. ZYX Co. 123 Co.
If I click on ZYX Co., I want it to show the contracts for ONLY that customer:
In my report when the Group Header and the Detail section will not fit onto one page, it prints the Group Header on one page, and all of the Detail on another page. Is there a way to keep them together?
I have already tried the 'Keep Together' option in the Sorting/Grouping window, setting it to both Whole Group and With First Detail, but nothing seems to work.
My report has an empty Page Header, a Group Header, Detail, and an empty Page Footer.
I have a main form (Parent) along with a subform(Children). I want to have a button that generates a report with the Parent information as a header and the items in the subform as details. In addition, I want the report to show only the children that were recently added not all of the children.
If I have a report and it has controls (labels representing column titles) in the page header. Now when I print the report - if it happens that the last page has no detail records - but there is text boxes and so forth in the report footer. Is there a way to not display the page header on the last page?
I have a report where the last page shows the page header - and the field/column labels on the page header - but for which there is no detail records left to display - on the last page. There is report footer information that should display. It just looks weird because the field/column labels show at the top of the page - but there is no data remaining to print under them on that last page.
I have a main form that has 2 subforms. I have a field on both forms that I have marked as "Visible="No". Both are text box controls and I have made sure that both the label and the text box itself are marked "Visible="No". In the first subform, it works correctly, while on the second one, it still displays.
I have made a small text box in the header area, as to be able to tab from the header area to the detail area, and put the code Me.[Date Sold].SetFocus (Date Sold being the name of the text box I would like to tab to) in the "Got Focus" event. However for some reason it does not work, I get an "Invalid outside procedure" error every time.
Any advice on how to fix this problem would be most welcome.
I've placed an unbound text control in the header of a Split Form. I also placed a label in header of a split form.But, neither is visible until I select a row on the split form datasheet.The Visible property is set to yes and the fore color is white and the background is transparent.
I have a continuous form, with data entry fields in both the form header and the detail section.
I've attached an "On Exit" event to the ProdQty field in the detail section. The prime function of the event code is to run an update query on the table (which is the data source for the form).
The code executes properly (update query runs successfully and form refreshes) when I Tab out of that field. It also executes properly when I use the mouse to click on another field in the detail section.
However, when I use the mouse to click on a field in the form header or form footer sections, the On Exit code does not execute properly.
Here's the On Exit Sub:
Private Sub ProdQty_Exit(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo ProdQty_Error
If (Int(Me!ProdQty) <> Me!ProdQty) Or ((Me!ProdQty / Me!LDU) < 1) Or (Int(Me!ProdQty / Me!LDU) <> (Me!ProdQty / Me!LDU)) Then Me.ProdQty.BackColor = 255 Me.ProdQty.ForeColor = 16777215 Beep MsgBox "The quantity you entered is invalid for this product." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please check the LDU (least divisible unit) and enter a new quantity.", vbExclamation, "Quantity Error" DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, "Order Form", acPrevious DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, "Order Form", acNext DoCmd.GoToControl "ProdQty" Exit Sub Else Me.ProdQty.BackColor = 255 Me.ProdQty.BackColor = 16777215 Me.ProdQty.ForeColor = 0 DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.OpenQuery "Update Product Qty in Current Order", acViewNormal, acEdit Me.Requery Me.Refresh Me.Repaint
A user requested a change that would change the form header and detail back ground color to white when they click the button print record and then change the color back all in one click after the record prints. I keeping getting a run time error, type mismatch on the line where to code is to be changed. The colors are numbers not vbColors. I am using Access 2007.
I have a main report with 2 subreports. My main report has a header section, the 2 subreports are in the detail section of my main report. How can i prevent my report from splitting up my header and my subreports. (Header section of my main report is a company and the subreports are the detail of the company.. i don't want my compnay name on the bottom of a page and then the detail on the next page.. it does this sometimes. thanks!
I have a report where I number pages based on the Store (muliple stores in report but page numbering resets when Store changes) I do this by manipulating the page number field on the report by code in the report sections to reset it and to increment it.
Code:
Private Sub GroupHeader0_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) Me!PageNum = 0 End Sub Private Sub PageFooter_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) Me!PageNum = Me!PageNum + 1 End Sub Private Sub ReportHeader_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) Me!PageNum = 0 End Sub
The report has a Page Header with various fields and labels and that's been fine however I've had a request to hide a field on subsequent pages (i.e. print it on the 1st page of each store then hide it).
So I added the following code to various sections, but can't get it to work correctly. The fields (label and text box) appear on Page 1 for the first store then get hidden but never return even though when I step through the code it is functioning 'correctly'. The GroupHeader code is performed but the fields don't get displayed on the report. I think is isn't re-painting that section but adding code to the Paint event does nothing, and in fact doesn't actually get run, so not sure when that event is triggered.
Code:
Private Sub GroupHeader0_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) Me!PageNum = 0 lblMemberNo.Visible = True MemberNo.Visible = True
I belive I have done this before but I cant remember how!
I have a continuos form with two text boxes on it and a check box.
I am trying to say if text box1 = "1" then text box 2 is visible if text box 1 = 2 then text box 2 is invisible. I am doing this on a tick box (for other reasons) so my code looks like this:
If Me.Text1 = "1" Then Me.Text2.Visible = True End If If Me.Text1 = "2" Then Me.Text2.Visible = False End If
It works, kind of. The trouble is because its a continuous form all the Text2 boxes become visible or invisible depending rather than just the one record i'm working on. Is there a soloution to this?
Is it possible to make my Splash screen invisible after someone checked the "Do not show me this screen again" just while that current session? Is there a way of using flags and a system table or query that would allow me to do so? Thank you:)
I have a form display project hours and also caculation of total for each project.
A user can spend time on multiple projects each day, I would like all zero invisiable. I had tried to set all default values to null (nothing) instead of zero. It causes problem in caculation of total.
I remember in Excel, it can make zero not to display, can we do this on an Access Form?
(Something I also want to know if this is possible. This is a time sheet, is anyway we can do on the form that projects (records) can be displayed horizonatally (on the top) while the dates can be displayed vertically (on the left), ,more like a transposed. But it would not change the struture of database (just display) so the date remains a field and projects are records.)
hei hei can you think for me 1 more second , PLEASE because I made all my menus invisible in startup.

I have a report that lists states and cities within the states. When a state name happens to be at the end of the page the individual cities appear on the next page with no State heading. I solved the second page problem by setting the "repeatSection = Yes" in the Section Header (though I haven't shown that in the example below).
But the previous page (which just shows the State Name and no cities looks dumb. Is there some sort of solution.?? (Actually I would also like any State that continues to a next page to not just have the state name but something like " Colorado (Continued)" Is there anything I can do in VB to make a page break if the section is going to print but therer isn't enough room for one detail line?
This is what I currently see
Alaska Ancorage Prudo Bay
California Whittier Anaheim
Colorado ------------------------Page Break --------------------------------- Denver Pueblo Colorado Springs

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 am trying to improve my code by making it more readible. The following code works, but it is certainly not the most efficient way. I`m trying to write a loop to make certain elements in an Access report visible/invisible, but I can`t address the visibility property of these items while iterating over i.
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.
