Reports :: When Opening Report It Prompts For Input
May 29, 2015
I have a database with loads of different sales data from Jan 2014 with other product details as well. I also have a form where the user can input any of these data (this is based on a query):
- Campaign name
- Exact Date
- Month
- Year
- Category
- Campaign Type
This should run the query, then open a report that's grouped by:
1. Year
2. Month
3. Exact Date
4. Dem name
Even if the user inputs the month and year on the form, when reopening the report, it prompts for inputting the year and month as well, but nothing else.
I have a blank report and dragged two queries to it so that they are displayed on it. Both queries prompt for a Customer code. How do I get it that I only have to type it in once rather than for each query prompt?
This may just be a MS XP thing, but when I open my Database it gives a series of 3 prompts to open the database. The first is a security warning for unsafe expressions, do i want to block them or not, the second is telling me that only MS Jet 4.0 service pack can block the unsafe expressions, do i want to open my database, the third is an actual open, cancel or more info prompt saying code could harm my comp.
how do i get rid of these or at least get it down to only one prompt?
I have a report that requires the user's input for a field called UserID.
I also have a form in which I want to have a button that can be used to print off this report (which would involve automatically entering the UserID into it). How do I do this?
Here is the code for the form button that I am using at the moment, but when you click it, Access still needs the UserID (duh!). So, how can I automate the input?
Code:Private Sub Command25_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Menu" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormalExit_Command25_Click: Exit SubErr_Command25_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Command25_Click End Sub
So I have a report that opens via Parameter. The SQL behind the query that runs the report is (I took out alot of lines that aren't necessary to answer the question)
PARAMETERS [Enter Your Box Id] Short; SELECT DocumentsTable.OrganizationalID, . . . DocumentsTable.Status FROM DepartmentsTable INNER JOIN (Year1 INNER JOIN DocumentsTable ON Year1.ID = DocumentsTable.RecordDateYearID) ON DepartmentsTable.ID = DocumentsTable.DepartmentID WHERE (((DocumentsTable.Voided)<>'Y' Or (DocumentsTable.Voided) Is Null) AND ((DocumentsTable.ID)=[Enter Your Box ID]));
So if I click on the report, I get a little popup that says "Enter Your Box ID", and when I do, the report works just as expected.
However, I also want to be able to open this report via link from another report, and pass the Box ID #. I just can't get the syntax right. I would have thought it was this:
Private Sub ID_Click() DoCmd.OpenReport "Find A Box", acViewReport, , "[Enter Your Box Id]=" & Me.ID End Sub
However when that execute, I still get the pop up asking for "Enter Your Box ID"
Basically when I click a button on a form I want it to run a report but only when certain criteria are met as entered in the 'Where Condition' box. I've managed to do this successfully when it is an equal to query but I now want to run a 'contains' query and don't really know where to start.
I have a text box on the form labelled [Desc] and I want the report to pull records where any text entered in the [Desc] text box is contained in the fields [Used Stock]![Model]
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 button opening forms however when they open they appear in window mode and not full screen. is there an option or a line of code of code i am over looking to make it open in full screen mode?
I am trying to run a report based on a combobox selection. I have three different reports, each for the three different items in the combo box. I just don't know how to code it so when I run the report, it picks up the name in the combo box and opens the correct report. This is what my code looks like for the button that will run the report:
Private Sub Command7_Click() DoCmd.OpenReport ("Signers Authorized for Check Writing"), acViewPreview, , WhereCondition = [BTrans] = "Check Writing" DoCmd.OpenReport ("Signers Authorized for Stop Payment"), acViewPreview, , WhereCondition = [BTrans] = "Stop Payments" DoCmd.OpenReport ("Signers Authorized for Wires"), acViewPreview, , WhereCondition = [BTrans] = "Wires" End Sub
The problem is, that as soon as I hit the Run Report button, all three reports open up, so it is not reading what is in the combo box. The quotes, "Check Writing" , "Stop Payments" and "Wires" are the actual selections in the combobox and [BTrans] is the name of the combobox.
I have to print a label quickly every time that the product hit the warehouse. The label has been created as a report linked to the query that will provide the info to the report. In order to make this report printing as quick as possible the idea is to scan the sample id from the product and once the label is printed scan the next sample and an on.
I'm not an expert on VBA but I have created the following scrip but the reports doesn't pop up.
Here is the code:
Dim SampleID As String SampleID = InputBox("Enter Sample ID") If SampleID > 0 Then DoCmd.OpenReport "rptGRM_QuickPrintLabelDymo", acViewPreview, , "[Sample]=" & SampleID Else DoCmd.Close End If End Sub
I have a main Form "Client" that shows details such as Representatives, phone numbers, status, etc. I also have a main report "CRM" that is a nicer summarized table version of all of my Client form entries.
The "CRM" form will be used by others in my office to see what clients we are contacting, etc. What I want to be able to do is have someone open the CRM form first. If they want to see even more specific info (not everything is included in the report, as that would be too messy), I want them to be able to double click the Client's name on the report and be taking to the corresponding entry on the Client form that shows more details.
Right now my code for the Report which is not working is the following:
Private Sub Client_Name_DblClick()'double click on a client name in the reportDoCmd.OpenForm "Client", acNormal, , "[Client_Name]='" & [Client_Name]'this should open the Client Form to the record of the same client that was double clicked on the reportEnd Sub
I have a report which is accessed via a hyperlink in a form. I have the default view for the report set to Print Preview yet everytime I click the link the report opens in report view which I don't want.
The event for the hyperlink is as follows:
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click() Dim strWhere As String If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits. Me.Dirty = False End If
[Code] .....
I have tried changing "acViewPreview" to "acViewReport" and "acViewNormal" and each time it is either going straight to print or opening in report view. I just want the report to open in print preview mode so I can decide if to print a hard copy or send to pdf.
I'm trying to make a report that a untrained user can use to review the relevant data from the database I'm creating. All of the work I've done so far has been directly in the tables . Here's a quick outline of my general data organization:
Basically, I want the user to select a department to view using a combo box or option group (which I'm not sure of how to do in a report). Then, I want to view the employees within that department sorted first by whether or not the Needs_Work check box is selected, and then by how many of their competencies are unchecked.
In my database there are fields of type Date/Time, their default value is set to now(). But the problem is that those fields are automatically filled up by English system date. I want my own country's date format, without changing my system date format. So I decided, whenever database is opened it should ask for a date, so the user will give today's date and that date will be used automatically on those fields.
I have a function that capture a report activity ,open, close, updated by query, etc.... I have a report that has a inputbox on the open event that tell the user this date the report will display is from a previous update and ask if they want to run the query to update the data.
What I was hoping to do, is have this inputbox only fire if the date and time written when the last update occurs was 24 hours ago.
Can I capture the date and time that the function captures and writes to a table as a variable and you that date and time to detemine whether that inputbox fires?
is this right? Code:DoCmd.OpenReport "3rd Party Denial, Report, , [Claims Header].[Claim_ID]=[Forms]![claiminformation]![ReportForm]![Report_ClaimID], Normal" I get an error stating you entered in either the property sheet or macro is misspelled or refers to a report that doesn't exist.
Please could somebody point me in the right direction of code.
I have a database which I would like to query using a form with a combobox or two, each of which containing a list of eg. Customer Names, or Reference Numbers, which will then produce a report which can be printed out.
I know basic ADO, like get the database, open it, find records, update and delete records, however I have been unsuccesfully searching for the code to open a report, which will respond to certain sql parameters that correspond with the values in the combobox. And then be able to print that report if possible.
I would be much appreciative if anyone would point me in the right direction, Thanks!!
Hey there, if anyone could help me with the code for opening a report please. I have a main page with buttons, and need a button for opening reports.. thx
Is it possible to open a report using a combo box. At the moment all my reports are opened using cmd buttons. This is just a question of curiosity, I will continue to look into it myself of course.
I have a form in Datasheet view and when you click on a record in that form I want it to take you to a report with all the details of that record number. I have the On Click event set to run a Macro. The Macro is as follows:
OpenReport Report Name Incident Report View Report Filter Name Open Where Condition =[Event ID]=[Reports]!Incident Report]![Event ID] Window Mode Normal
This Where Condition works for me open another form from the form with the same Event ID. Why does it come to a "new" Incident on the report?
Can anyone please help me, I currently have a series of queries that are called by a macro, these create a number of tables. But when each query runs it provide a prompt stating what it is doing, my question is can these be stopped so that the queries run without a user being present.
I have a DB that runs an update, delete and append queries and turned off the Confirm prompts under the edit options. The problem is this turns off the confirms for ALL Access applications. Does anyone know how to turn off the confirms only in one specific db rather than the entire access?
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
Is there any way to put a shortcut on someone's desktop that will open a specific report in an Access database? I'm thinking back to the days of DOS when one simply added an argument to the command. I don't want to put it in startup and have it always go to that report. I just want non-Access users to go right where they need to without menus, etc.
