Reports :: Subreport Borders Cover Text In Print Out
Jan 5, 2015
I have several reports that include subreports in them, each one has a bold border surrounding it. When viewing the reports in Access, the spacing and layout is great.
But when I print the reports--either physically or to PDF--the text within the subreports somehow shifts left and up. Some of the subreports--by virtue of chance--happen to have enough extra space, but others don't and part of the text gets clipped by the border.
I'm not exactly motivated to go through the reports and readjust the layout for each one but if there's a database setting that I can change to correct it that would be nice.
I've attached a screenshot (where the layout is perfect) and a printed PDF (where the text is clipped) of one of the reports. The issue can best be seen in the Public/Private ZooMobile and Indoor/Outdoor ZooMobile subreports.
I have a report with four subreports. If the subreports have no data I have a formula to put the word 'none' in the first field as follows:
=IIf(IsNull([Question]),"None",[Question])
I do a print preview and the word 'None' shows up and subreport looks good when I view just the subreport as well as when I view the full report.
When I print the subreport the text '#Error' prints. When I print the full report I just get a blank space.
I need the subreport to print with the word 'None' if there is not data. How do I accomplish? I tried the above formula both in the query and in the control source of the report. It just comes up blank when I put it in the query.
I have a report that has two sub reports one to report deposits and the other to report payments.
The report prints fine if there are records in both sub reports, however when the payments sub report is blank then the report hangs and won't print to pdf at all.
I have a report which includes several subreports. There will be times when a subreport prints partially on one page and completes on the next. I don't always want to break to a new page with this subreport. However, I would want to break to a new page if the subreport cannot fully print on the current page.
1. I want to put borders like in excel to my reports in access. 2. I want to calculate gratuity like this: nil for completing less than 1year service, 7 days for service between 1 to 3 years, 14 days for service between 3 to 5 years, 21 days for completing 5 years and 30 days for service exceeding 5 years. The calculations to be made on basic salary and the no. Of days in a month to be taken as 30 days. Can you send me with an example how to do it in a query.
I have one field in my table "Id". Here I have inputed 16 digit number always. Can I print out every digit with different text box or label in my report?
I have researched on here how to print the results of a query to a text file. I put the code in and I get an error on the openrecordset line. The error says "too few parameters, expected 4"
I tried the query in another report I export to excel and the query works.
I tried printing the whole table using "Select * from tbl_Customers" and it works????
Here is the code:
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryBell1", dbOpenSnapshot) Dim fs, TextFile Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set TextFile = fs.CreateTextFile(pathname, True)
[Code] ....
the query returns 6 fields for printing and can filter based on whether 3 fields are filled or not on the form - Date, Campaign, Status
I have always noticed that when creating a report, when you make a paragraph using a label, the alignment and size of the text/paragraph is always different when you preview the report than when you design it.
This makes alignment of paragraphs tricky, especially when you are trying to insert a bold faced word into the middle of a block of text by using a separate label.
I have an old access database (written with 2003 but running under 2010) that creates workorders and I need to change a couple of the reports to print three copies with each copy having different text in the footer. I'm converting the reports from a old DOT Metrix special form printer to a laser printer. I have already modified the reports as far as the titleing and cosmetics are concerned and they print and look great on the laser printer. I have also added a TxT box that I want to contain the information on the report.
The reports are generated in a couple of different ways off different screens in the system off buttons, but I figured if I can get one of them to work I can replicate it to the others.
I have gone through the reports forum and have found a couple of solutions but can't get them to work. This is what I have found:
On the on button to print a range of workorders (it drives a query that asks for a starting workorder number and a ending workorder number) click from the from the switchboard:
So I am adding a chart (on a subreport) to a report that has multiple subreports already. I have gotten the chart to show up correctly on the report, but now 2 of my other subreports are not working. I am being prompted to input parameters for these subreports that used to pull their parameters (between dates) from the main report.
I read somewhere that charts master/child linking doesn't work but I'm not sure if that applies to subreports with charts on them, or just charts in general. I've tried changing the query on the chart subreport a little without luck. Is this likely some glitch thing? Should I keep trying to alter the query or maybe there is some other work around option?
I have a main report with 3 sub reports.The Sub reports have onload events that fill up the text boxes with VBA code. When I open the sub report alone everything works fine. But when I open the main report, the on load of the subreport wont work.
I have a report with several subreports. I need to total the subreports onto the main report. How do I refer to the control on the subreport?I know that with a form / subform I would use: Me!Subform1.Form!Controlname.But simply replacing 'Form' with 'Report' doesn't seem to work.
I have a main report with several subreports. Some subreports have other nested subreports. all of the reports and subreports are based on queries. when a query returns no values, i would still like for the reports and subreports to display in print preview. (currently, they display in report view but not in print preview.)
I tried a few things:
1) I set all report section can shrink options to "No" - (this did not work)
2) I set the can shrink options for all textbox controls, within each report section , to "No" - (this did not work)
3) I moved all controls from the details section of the subreport to the report header section - (when I did this, I got the subreport to show in print preview when the query for a single subreport returns no values but when i have a subreport with nested subreports that have no value, none of them show up in print preview)
I've searched...moving the controls from the details to the report header was the best thing i could find, but again, this only works with a single subreport and not with multiple nested subreports.
I would like to create a report based on a query. The first part is simple enough. However within this query I have a 'Count field' (a total of the number of duplicated this record has appeared in the table). And would like to create a subreport (if possible) based on that value for example. if count > 1 then show subreport.
My question therefore; is the above possible? How would I go about linking this logic with the subreport
In Access 2010 I am previewing a customer report. I also try to give users the choice of seeing history sub records for any given customer. I have a selection dropdown box where they can chose ALL, 5, 10 or 15 in a report. To this end I set the record source in the "Open" event for the subreport. if I want all records it works fine, but as soon as I put in "SELECT TOP 5" the subreport goes invisible. I have tested the query directly and it works fine. I'm sure this worked in Access 2007
I have a report with 2 subreports on it. One of the subreports does not show on the report preview unless I set a breakpoint in the report's code. Set a breakpoint in the code (for no other reason), hit the breakpoint, continue, and the report works fine from then on, until you close the database and open it again, even if you remove the breakpoint. The other subreport, which is similar, always shows fine.
I can't find out what's wrong by setting a breakpoint.
I have a report that calls a subreport. In most instances, the subreport will have no data and I won't want to show the subreport. I've tried various ways to deal with this:
1) Make the subreport property on the main report the minimum height and set CanGrow = Yes 2) Use the Report_NoData event on the subreport and add the code 'Cancel = 1' 3) Make all the fields on the subreport the minimum height and set CanGrow = Yes
None of these seem to work. I don't have any headings on the subreport, so the only price I'm paying is adding a gap onto the main report the size of one detail line of the subreport. Still, it leaves the report lacking professional quality.
I have a main report with one subreport. The main report contains details of a payment being made to a supplier. There is the total amount being paid, and the cheque number being transferred. There is also a field called payref which is made invisible. This is used to link up with the subreport. The amount is the total of several invoices for which payment is being made.
The subreport contains details of each of a number of the invoices being settled. The subreport is linked to the main report via a common field called pay-ref, and the subreport is 'visible'. The subreport prints when placed in the page header section of the main report. However when there is a large number of invoices being shown in the subreport only a certain number appear. It appears that the subreport can only hold a certain number.
When the subreport is put, as it should, in the detail section of the main report, it does not appear at all in the main report. I have no clue why and I have made several reports like this one before.
For my text box, Text255, on the Subreport I have tried:
Code: Private Sub Report_Load() Me.Text255 = DLookup("[Along_line_spacing_%pass]", "Performance_Requirements_Defaults_Table")
The table Performance_Requirements_Defaults_Table has just one record for lookup. No value is returned when I run the main report.
I found this: [URL] .....
And tried adding the lookup code to the main report instead of the Subreport, but I think I am having trouble understanding what they mean here: "Subform1 is the name of the subform CONTROL on mainform" Are they inferring that I need to have a text box on the mainform as well?
I tried using this Me!Subform1.Form!ControlName like this:
I know this is not correct, and I have tried several variations, but I am totally stumped. Everything I have tried with the lookup code in the main report returns "Member Not Found" and Text255 is highlighted. I feel like this should not be such a big problem.
linking a report and a subreport (chart). I have uploaded my sample DB. I'm trying to chart all the individuals and three fields for each Home. Both report and subreport are using the same query for the record source. My charts are blank "All_Homes_Individual_Totals". Just use date range 05/01/14, 06/24/14 on my Main form page for the data.
My second question is how would you create a chart to pull by each individual with their monthly totals per Home using "qry_Community_ Inclusion_ All_Homes" with a report and subreport (chart) as above. Report would show the individual's totals by month for each home.
I have some fields in form that most of the time have data in them. Now comes that when there is no data, there should be one different field filled in with "None."
The client could have 3 types of products, but when he does have none, the "None." should appear. Another catch is that I have the titles for the products on a textbox above the products. Is it possible to have them not appear in the report if the client has no products?
I guess that it could work like in excel with an IF statment. If no values found, then keep those text boxes from appearing on the report and put a text with "None."
I am trying to get my totals from my subreports, and dividing the number by 2 or 4, and put the new number on the main report.
for Operator/Trainer Productivity, I used: =([rptEmployEvaluationOperator subreport].[Report]![OPTotal]+[rptEmployEvaluationOperatorTrainer subreport].[Report]![OPTotal])/2
for Auditor/Trainer Productivity, I used: =([rptEmployEvaluationAuditor1 subreport].[Report]![OPTotal]+[EmployEvaluationAuditor2 subreport].[Report]![OPTotal]+[EmployEvaluationAuditor3 subreport].[Report]![OPTotal]+[EmployEvaluationAuditorTrainer subreport].[Report]![OPTotal])/4
These both work if there are values in all totals subreports. When one of them might not have a total, I get an error message.
