I am currently working on a project that is almost complete, but my only problem is that I am clueless as to how I can get a text box in my report to hide base on if a text box in my form is hidden. Meaning that whenever this particular text box in my form is hidden then the text box on my report should be hidden too. how to get my form and report text boxes in sync with each other.
View RepliesI built an expression for the control source in Access 2007 report as follows:
=Sum([Weighted Value])/(Sum([CourseInfo.Credit])-Sum(IIf([StudentClassRecord].[Grade]="P",[CourseInfo].[Credit],0)))
This is to calculate the GPA. However, sometimes the denominator can become 0 and an error us returned. I would like to get "NA" in return instead.
All the field names are derived from table or query. I tried to aggregate the IIF function but ran into error message.
Any way to insert a half-line feed into text in a control?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to change the text formatting (color, italics, bold etc) of the contents of a control based on a boolean value in the underlying datasource of the report.
For instance, I have a report that generates a "Proforma Invoice" i would like to ability italicize the prices of certain items based based on a boolean value (EstimatedPrice) in the underlying datasource.
I have tab controls, each of which holds a report. If the report is longer than the tab control the report is stuck there. no slide bars, no overflow. I have set scroll bars but they dont seem to take or work. I need to find a way to add verticle scroll bars to the reports within the tab controls so that you can view the entire report. I have included a screen print of what I mean.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
I have a report that has Bill to and Ship to addresses. They are positioned across from one another (ship to on the right and bill to on the left of the page). The issue is that the 'can shrink' doesn't work when there is data in the same field on the other address..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .
I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.
I have a report that lists incidents for a specific day (reference number, a brief description and a few other fields). There is also an additional notes field, which I would like to be viewable from within the report.
For example, as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the brief description text box. Or displayed in a textbox on the right (I don't want one textbox per line though, but instead a single re-usable textbox). Or a more information button/link that shows a "popup" containing the additional notes. I don't want to exit out of the current report, but stay within it.
I have tried to achieve this with a tooltip, but in fact even when I manually typed in a tooltip on the control's properties it wasn't displayed when I hovered over the text box.A pop-up or floating textbox would be preferable.
is it possible with transform, only uppercase text contained in a report textbox, to bold? How? Through VBA?....
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created some Crystal Reports to open out of MS Access. Everything works great for me and all the users, except one.
The one user when they try to open the report gets nothing (no error, no lock-up, nothing). It is only on their machine (we have tested them logged into other machines and the report works just fine).
My guess is there is something wrong with the Crystal Viewer on their machine (in our case Crystal 8.5 ActiveX viewer control). I looked on their machine, and they have the same .ocx control as myself and the other users C:Winntsystem32Crystl32.ocx
I even went into their Access and Registered this ActiveX control (design view of a form) and still was not able to get the control to work. We were thinking about re-imaging this users machine, but this is the only error they currently have. I was wondering if anyone else had run into this error, and if so is there an easy fix?
Thank you for your time.

I have a report opening to give detail when a button is clicked - however it will only ever return a maximum of 3 records - however the report window is far to tall - it should only be a third of the hieght it is - is there a way to set the height of the report which opens?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have run across a problem where I have an unbound control on a report that "used to work just fine" until today. It is a concatenated string:
Code:
=[ProgramCity] & "," & (" "+[Programstate]) & (" " & Left([ProgramZip4],5)) & (" "+[ProgramCpsAbbreviations])
I have this on two slightly different reports, where only one line of the report is different. One report works fine, no problems. All the data is there. But on the second report I get the dreaded #Name? error.
So I amended my query and used
Code:
CSZ:[ProgramCity] & "," & (" "+[Programstate]) & (" " & Left([ProgramZip4],5)) & (" "+[ProgramCpsAbbreviations])
And now set the field source as CSZ and it now works fine.
So my question is: Why does the concatenated code not work sometimes in a report but the same code in a query works fine?
Do reports not like concatenated fields?
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.

Could anyone point me in the right direction re the Crystal Reports Active X viewer control and access forms. I loaded it onto a form in access 2000, but can't seem to find any meaningfull properties I can manipulate (especially the report source). I am thinking it works like any other active x control and I can manipulate properties through code, however, the main property I would think I need (source report) does not seem to exist. I have Crystal 10.0 loaded on my system.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that starts with an unbound form [Form1] which I need for the parameter inputs. Date1, Date2 and BillingMonth, all three are unbound controls. Date1 and Date2 are the criteria for the dates of billing and they work fine, that is, the query looks them up and the query runs fine. But I want to use the unbound control of BillingMonth to populate an unbound control in the report heading.
The control source is set as =[Forms]![Form1].[BillingMonth]; it works fine if the underlying [Form1] is still open. There is a command button on [Form1] that opens the report and then closes [Form1] since it is a pop-up form that is only used to get the criteria for the underling query; I don't want it to remain open when I run the report. However, the [BillingMonth] does not appear on the report heading. Just #Name?, which I assume means that since [Form1] is no longer open, it can't find the control [BillingMonth].
So, how can I get the [BillingMonth] to appear on the report heading?
I am using the following control source for a text box on a report: =nz([Raw_Turb], "---")When I do, it pulls data from a different field from the data source. I am pulling the data directly from the data table. I have tried creating a query and get similar results only from a different data field!I have tried the same control source on a different report and it works correctly! Why does it not work on the current report?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a report that is filtered like Year_ = "2014/15".
Say for example on this report it contains two text boxes:
Text box 1 has a control source of "March_T"

How can I make text box 1 be filtered by Year_ = "2014/15" and text box 2 be filtered by Year_ = "2015/16"?
I have master and child fields in my query, and in my report I have blank controls where there is no child record to the master. I'm trying to set the section (Group Header and Detail) to be invisible when there's no value in a control.
However, as soon as I introduce an If statement to the VBA in a report, regardless of the event I put it in, it just stops working completely.
I have a report that prints lab tests. One section has 4 columns that are framed. Only the first control (STest) expands to more than one line. The Can Grow works on this control and subsequently the section expands. I need a code that expands the height of the other three controls to match that of STest. I am using office 2010.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a report and in the footer I have added a text box (Textbox136) to work out the average percentage of the field [Percentage], which works fine.

IIf([Textbox136]>=100,"A+",IIf([Textbox136]>=90,"A+",IIf([Textbox136]>=80,"A",IIf([Textbox136]>=70,"B",
IIf([Textbox136]>=60,"C",IIf([Textbox136]>=50,"D",IIf([Textbox136]>=40,"E",IIf([Textbox136]>=30,"E-","U"))))))))
