Reports :: Record Source Of REPORT Other Than Query
Aug 27, 2013
Everytime i make a report in Access, first thing i do is build a query and then use it as a record source. I try the other way, I go to create report design directly and do the drag and drop of fields.
I have a report that is based on nested (I think thats the phrase) query's.
Complicated Query based on another query (so I can't see a way to get at the the source SQL to change or use elsewhere)
This gives a list of say 20 records I generally want printed. I use the exact same query criteria with a separate update query to add the same to a table.
However I then wanted to just pick one with exact matching ID's I select on a form.
I could not see an easy way to apply this without making another set of nested querys which seems a little excessive
Anyway, an easy way for the printed report to do this is a simple filter added after, works great.
I can't see a way to do the same for an update query.
I was wondering if I could get the record source of this report and add to my table. I have tried with
' Dim db As DAO.Database ' Dim rs As DAO.Recordset 'Set db = CurrentDb 'Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(Me.RecordSource, dbOpenDynaset) ' Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(Me.RecordSource)
And dozens of variations over some hours but a variety of errors mainly "too few parameters."
I have a subroutine that successfully builds a SQL statement "strSQL", which is a public variable.
Using msgbox, I can read that the value is correct - SELECT * from tblIncidents WHERE [Nature] = 'Hover';
(The select statement may be complex, e.g. [Nature] = 'hover' AND [COLOUR]= 'Blue' AND [GRADE] = 'High')
I want to pass the variable strSql to my report rptIncident in the following command:
Private Sub CmdPrintReport_Click() If Right(strsql, 1) <> "'" Then 'check if statement was built Else strsql = strsql & ";" 'add trailing ; to statement MsgBox strsql DoCmd.OpenReport "tblincidents", acViewNormal, , strsql End If End Sub
I get a flashing error, then runtime error 3075 - |1 in query expression '|2'.
How can I set the record source of a report to a saved query through VBA. I am trying to use the same report for a number of uses, all of the info on the report is the same, but the only difference is the query that the information is based on. I have this simple code below, how do I add a record source to it (if it can be done)
I have a report based on a query. I want to populate 6 Text Boxes with Dates from fields in another query. The date fields I want to add will be headings for columns that represent weeks (they change all the time so can�t be hard figures). The two queries are not really related by any common field. I am not able to get this working because the fields I want are not part of the query that is the Record Source for the Report.
Is there any way that I can do this? Can I change the record source of just the text boxes?
I need to dynamically change the table in the sub-report's record source. I tried (line wrapped in code tags below for reading purposes)
Code: SELECT tblProjectHistory_fldProjectID, FirstOfHistory, [History Date], [Time Spent], Employee, fldAssigned, TheFieldPriority, fldTitle, employeeID, fldTimeSpent, fldStatus, fldHistoryID, fldOrder FROM " & [TempVars]![TempEmpTempTable] & " ORDER BY fldOrder;
And I get the error of invalid bracketing of name and it refers to the [TempVars]![Temp part. Makes me believe that I cannot use TempVars in a Reports RecordSource, is that accurate? If So that leaves me trying to set a sub-reports recordsource via vba right?
I have a database that reports activities by region.
Each week, my regional volunteers report statistics on a number of club activities. This is in the form of zero to theoretically infinite activity reports that they enter on a website. I download the .csv from the website, add the activity reports to the activity table and send them a totals summary every now and then.
The summary report shows figures for every club in the region, even if no activity reports have been entered for that club that week or ever.
This works fine, including forcing the query to return zeros when no reports have been submitted for that club.
What I want to do is have the report also show (in brackets next to each figure) the position as it was X number of days previously.
I can make the query and report to show the figures now.
I can make the query and report to show the figures X days ago.
What I cannot work out is how to combine the two queries into one report source so that I can get
Club 1 100(50) 75(0) 45(45) Club 2 0(0) 0(0) 0(0) Club 3 20(19) 0(0) 200(50)
etc
If I try and make a third query that gets the sums from qryNow and the sums from qryXdaysago for each record in qryClubsByRegion, I get two lines for each club.
I have a report in access 2007, now i need to ask that i am creating new blank report and just like to to capture value from other report via textbox or any source (you may reccommend), for e.g in Report A i have months and their total amounts now i want to add both these fields in new Report B where i will do the same with other previous reports to create summary of accounts.
I am trying to join a number of reports into one report. I have a generic report which displays a different dataset given the user's choice on a form. I created a collection where I can store multiple instances of this report (called mcolReportInstances) - this works just fine.
I was looking to combine all the reports in the collection into one report. To that end, I have created a report with a number of subreport controls but with no sourceobject. In the On_Open event of this blank report, I am trying to set the source object of the subreport to one of reports in my collection:
I am in the process of creating a training database that includes levels of proficiency with certain tasks for employees.
In one of my reports I would like to appropriately display with tasks the employee "Cannot Perform";"Can Perform with Assistance";"Can Perform Alone";"Trainer" (straight from the field list of the task). But I can't seem to get the hierarchy correct. Tried it in a PivotTable too as I thought similar to PTs in Excel you could get some kind of "count" of values. Couldn't make that happen either.
Each employee has a proficiency rating on about 20 different tasks. Proficiency input is controlled by a field list. I would like to structure this part of the report like so:
OK. I have a report that I want to use as a master and use with about 4 different querys. In the report properties I've bound it to a query. I've tried for ages to change the record sources with on click command bottons on another form. I think things have become complicated because there's a subreport on the report I AND a there's bunch of code to make things invisible in the on page event of the report.
I have an application written in Access 2007 and packaged using the Packaging Solutions for deployment with Runtime.My problem is that I've written an updated version, and after carefully saving my original Back End away from the install site, uninstalling Runtime and the FE, installing the new FE with a blank copy of the BE having the same name and Runtime, and copying the filled BE into the same folder with the FE (replacing the linked, but empty, BE) I find that SOME of my tables in the BE are not being recognized. This isn't true of all tables. I can open some of the forms and find everything there. In other cases I get the following error message "The record source "tblName" specified on this form or report does not exist."
My report produces multiple copies of the same record. I know why, but don't know how to fix it.
EmployeeTable.
With a one to many relationship with TrainingTable (via employee PK as FK in trainingtable).
Training table has a one to many relationship with a table called Range.
Report is based on a query that picks up the Employee/Training/Range (range just describes the training unit).
However, If I have more than one range expressed organized a training unit, the report spits out several copies of the Employee record to display all the ranges.
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 have o form based on a query that I can search in for last name etc. And then I have a button for opening a report for the person that displays.
Here is the problem now: If I have two persons with the same last name I get a report of several pages also showing the person that is not displayed in the form but have the same last name. What can I do in the query just to get the person only on display showing on the form? ID is the primary key
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
I have Form A that has a combo box and a "Submit" button. When the user clicks on the Submit button it needs to open Form B. Recordsource of this Form B is "Query B"
Item selected on the combo box becomes the criteria for "Query B and Form B needs to be opened based on that criteria.
What is the easiest and fastest way (no dlookups please!) to do this?
If an illustration is possible through an example that will be wonderful.
I want to use a query as the record source of a subform. I want to be able to actually write the query out, not refer to a query object, because I want to change the query on the fly using VB.
This subform displays records when I have it opened by itself, but will not return records when it's displayed as a subform. Does writing the query out not work for subforms?
I have a main form with two unbound text boxes that filter a subform with a select query in the record source. The problem is that it only works sometimes.when I copy and paste the SQL into a query instead of the form it works all the time. for example when I open the query and the form side by side with the same SQL the form does not show results but the Query does, and yes I have "requeried" both of them after entering criteria into the unbound text boxes.
I have a query on a form that is providing all of the information I need for everything on my form.
The problem is I don't know how to refer to a field's value in the query in VBA without having a hidden text field on the form.
I know I can reference a combo box's query to include criteria such as [Forms]![cboSelectStudent] if the control is actually on the form, but how would I refer to a value in the form's query that doesn't have a control on the form.
I've been searching for everything I can think to call this but haven't been able to come up with anything.
My form has a Record Source of qry_Profile, it is a query that shows the user the records of the dogs that they currently own. I want to put a button in the form footer to allow the user to show the records of all the dogs that they have ever owned.
So my question is how do I change the record source with vb.
I have one form which houses all my product information via the use of a query and subforms where appropriate. I would like to filter it in order to find records missing certain information.
I want to filter the information using a combo box.
The combo box has a user friendly name (Product Dimensions) and the name of a query related to that name (qryfilter_missing_prod_dims - this query is the record source query for the form plus the query that has the missing info, the query is set to return all records that match ie. all records that are missing info).
I want to write a vba code to filter my form based on that query.
And i can't get it to work using the cmd.applyfilter (docmd.applyfilter me.cbo_missing)
I've also tried to use me.recordsource. when i do it filters perfectly, but i can no longer edit any of my data in the form.
How to filter my form using a query that is not in the native form's record source?
I have a form that is linked to a query by its Record Source.In one of the Text boxes I want to appear the number of rows in the query where Days = 4 so I thought I would try to use DCOUNT as the Control Source for the Text Box. However every expression I try for DCOUNT throws back error? or name?. How to sort my code?
=DCount("[EPISODEUNIQUEKEY]","1-12 Show Records by Date Range","[Days] = '4'")
