Reports :: Use Drop Down To Open Different Reports
Apr 17, 2015
I have a lot of reports I have created. A lot of them are the same report but with different criteria. Right now I just have a report form, which displays all of the reports with buttons and the user chooses the desired report, clicks, and bam. In an attempt to make this look nicer and cleaner, is there a way to use a couple of drop down menus to open the reports. For example, can I group them by the main report category, have a drop down, click on a desired report and it opens from there??

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 have four forms named [Information Form], [Evidence Form], [Subject Form], and [Vehicle Form]. The Final Form is a Tabbed Form named [New Incident]. The tabbed form has four tabs, with each tab displaying one of the forms above. I also have a Print Command Button named [Print All] underneath the tabbed portion of the [New Incident] form.
Also, All of the four forms are set to data entry - yes, so that on open they will be clean and read for new record entry. I need the [Print All] button to do, just that, print everything that has or has not just been entered into the four forms, even if some are printed blank because they were not necessary for this particular report. One thin of note is that each form on the tab has a field for the "Incident Number" which will be the same for all four forms.

I wanted to print multiple reports using for loop but I am not sure how to start with.
This is basically my idea:
1. Create a hidden indicator, I name it txtHidden.
2. I have one table, there are one column for "report name".
3. I have one query, filtered the "report name" column according to txtHidden, criteria written in the design view.
4. Using For loop, browse through all the existing report.
5. Every loop, txtHidden will equals to every reportItem.Name. Query will run.
6. If Query is no result, dont open report, if query returns some result, open the report.
I wanted to code something as below, but I dont know what to put in the [Dont know what to type] field...
For Each [Dont know what to type] In Access.Reports
[Forms]![frmStartup]![txtHidden] =[ Dont know what to type] .Name
If DCount("*", "ReportQuery", "") > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenReport [Forms]![frmStartup]![txtHidden], acViewPreview
End If
Next
Can ignore the query part. It is working fine.

I have a textbox that has 3 columns in it (Rank, First Name, Last Name)...when the user selects the appropriate choice, it just shows the Rank.
Ex: Lt. John Smith --> just shows Lt.
To get around this I made an unbound text box and have it set to show all three choices when the selection is made in the drop down box. Unfortunately, it isn't working right. This is the code I am using for the text box:
=[OPRID].[column](1) & [OPRID].[column](2) & [OPRID].[column](3)
Is there anything that looks wrong with this code?
What it ends up showing in the text box is: JohnSmith (no rank, no space between the names).

I have a report which lists spend by customer. It is based on a query which requests the customer number I want the report for.
How can I get the query/report to offer a drop down list of the customer numbers available, so that I don't have to manually enter the number each time from memory!
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Peter

I've made a query and designed a report for it. Simply it includes:
Area code, customer name, other customer details.
I want other people, when they click on the report to be given a drop down box which allows them to choose a specific area code before it generate the report. So, for example, they just want to look at Yorkshire region records, they choose Yorkshire from the drop down box and it'll generate the Yorkshire report. I've searched around but can't find what these are called.

I have a report based on a query that has data for many dates. At the moment I have put a specific date in the criteria of the query so that I could build the report format. So it now displays all the data for the date i have in the criteria section. I will need to run this report several times per week so the specified date (and corresponding data in the report) will need to be changed to a new date when I open the report i.e. when I open my report I want to show data in the report only for a specified date.
Can I create a date parameter box open up when I open the report? Can I create a form with a button that when I click will open the report displaying data for that date? What would be the best way?I also need to display the specified date on the report.

I have a query which works perfectly fine, it's the report that I'm having issues with displaying correctly.
My report is a daily personnel accountability report that shows where everyone is for the day. Instead of having a cumbersome query like I did before, I have opted to just use the results of the selected drop-down option to move the X to the appropriate box of where so-and-so is for the day.
Using
Code:
If [marked_as] = 1 Then
Me.Morning.Value = "X"
ElseIf [marked_as] = 2 Then
Me.Afternoon.Value = "X"
ElseIf [marked_as] = 3 Then
Me.Evenings.Value = "X"
End If
I was unable to get it to work accurately outside of showing the three dummy names under the same column, even though the three dummy names were each placed in one of the three test categories.
I have this set as a private function called when the report loads, which is based on a query that filters down to the exact department or office (depending on the user's selection). Like I said, that part works fine, it's getting the code to accurately display in the correct column.

Hello.
Is it possible to close all open reports from one button on a form?
The form is a popup that appears if there are no records in a report. When the popup appears, and the user clicks OK, it is running a macro that closes the popup form and then the report. I would like to use this popup form for a number of reports, so obviously the macro cannot be used as it is only for one report.
Hope this makes sense and can anyone help?
Many Thanks.
Frank.

Hi again! :)
I can't figure this out myself.....so if anyone likes to help, I would be really glad!
Ok, here is the problem:
I got a form with 7 listboxes and a Command Button.
Box1 chooses the report
box2 the clientname
box3 to 7 choose different variables depending on the choosen report.
So i want to do something like
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpDetails", acPreview, , "[clientname] " & strclientnames & "" And Box3-7
I already have done this for every box:
If IsNull(Me.cboGAclientnames.Value) Then
strclientnames = "Like '*'"
Else
strclientnames = "='" & Me.cboGAclientnames.Value & "'"
End If
I tried to build the OpenReport String with one more box, but i get a mismatch error and don't know why :(

Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me out. I'm trying to get a button on an access form to open crystal reports and pass two parameters through to it from controls on the access form.
This is what I have at them moment:
Private Sub openRpt_Click()
Dim selForm As String
Dim CrystalReport1 As Crystal.crystalReport
Set CrystalReport1 = CreateObject("crystal.crystalreport")
CrystalReport1.Connect = "ODBC;UID=ID;PWD=PW;DSN=dsn;Database=dbname"
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "O:DatabasesCReportsSingle Project Up To Burn Rate.rpt"
'CrystalReport1.WindowTitle = "Single Project Up To Burn Rate"
'CrystalReport1.WindowMaxButton = False
'CrystalReport1.WindowMinButton = False
'CrystalReport1.WindowState = crptMaximized
selForm = 'selection formula
CrystalReport1.SelectionFormula = selForm
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(0) = "PeriodStart(" & Me.yearCode & ");true"
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(1) = "ProjectNo(" & Me.projectNumber & ");true"
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToWindow
CrystalReport1.Action = 1
End Sub
With this I'm currently getting a "Method 'Action' of object 'CrystalCtrl' failed" on the line CrystalReport1.Action = 1
My Ideal solution would open Crystal Reports in its own window, but if thats not possible opening in the access form would do.
currently running:
Access 2003
Windows Server 2003
Crystal Reports XI
Thanks

I want to make a simple FrontEnd for my database for users to open reports to print them. I don't want them to mess with the linked tables or queries feeding into those reports. I want the front end to display a list of every report in the database that they can load up and use.

I have a Table with Emp_ID and Details of my Employees. I have created a query and set parameter [Enter Emp_ID]. When I pull up a report, I get a pop-up and it asks me for the Emp_ID. When I input same, I get the information I need. Everything is good so far...
My Question... I have designed a report when user will need to enter Emp_ID and click on a button and they will get the report "EMPReport" without having the pop-up window asking for EmpID.
I have been using the below code but I get the pop-up again and I need to enter the Emp_ID again to view the report
See below Code:
Code:
Private Sub Image11_Click()
If IsNull(Me.Emp_ID) Or Me.Emp_ID = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter an Emp ID.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.Emp_ID.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
DoCmd.OpenReport "Rpt_HR1", acViewPreview, , "[Emp_ID]= " & "" & Me!Emp_ID & ""
End Sub

This is the second database where this has happened to me. I have code to print a report (with several sub-reports) to PDF. When it prints, only the first couple reports appear. The rest of the pages on the PDF are blank. If I try manually saving to PDF (Save As > PDF or XPS), I get the error "Cannot open any more databases."
In the other case, my "solution" was to copy all the queries into temporary tables and use the temp tables as the datasources for the reports.

I use the following code in the On No Data event of a report:
Private Sub Report_NoData(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "No data exists for the date range entered.", vbInformation, "No Data Alert"
Cancel = True
End Sub
This works fine to cancel the opening of the report however Ms Access annoyingly then pop-ups another alert that reads as follows:
"The OpenReport action was cancelled". There is no error number.
I've tried putting in a DoCmd.Close after Cancel = True however this doesn't do the job.
Any way to prevent the Ms Access pop-up from appearing?
