Reports :: Change Specific Subreport Visible Property Base Of A Select
May 6, 2015
I have stumbled across an issue in my report involving the Report.SourceObject property. The section of the report contains a subreport that needs to change dynamically to display the report that relates to the corresponding test. When trying to change the subreports.Sourceobject property I get the error Run-time error 2191: You cant set the Source Object Property in the print preview or after printing has started.This is very clear to me what the limitation is, however I was wondering if there was some way around this.
I have currently tried creating multiple subreports that are stacked on each other with visible property set to false. Then I change the specific subreport visible property base of a select. This worked, but was extremely hard on the machine and printer as there is about 15 different possible subreports.
Secondly I have tried exporting it to RTF and just manually copying and pasting the tables. The down side with this is all the formatting and work I have put into the report as a whole goes out the window so if possible would like to avoid this situation as well.
My student is doing a project on question paper generation in which he selects questions from each lesson needed and also some of these questions have images associated with them. So, if these questions are selected, the image control in the report displays it.
If there is no image, the space for the control is left in tact. I tried changing the visible property for the image control in the Detail_Format event procedure. But this code is not reached at all and the space is still left. I am not storing the image directly in the field but its path in a text field.
I want that the space occupied by the image control removed. I tried the suppression thing but obviously it did not work.
Ok so I want to generate a subreport for my deacons that show what families have been assigned to them.
Using the wizard I created a subreport that pulls the name & phone number(s) for each member with the same family ID, and Deacon ID (which pulls the name, number and FID from the member table, then checks the family table and gets the deacon ID). My question is, how do I tell the report to check if the current member I'm looking at is a deacon and if so use their deacon number as the reference number for "Deacon ID"?
I have a table for my deacons that links the member through their EnvNum (if they're a Deacon). Not sure if I'll need that table for this, but thought I'd mention I do have one.
I have a form with a subform on it, if the user clicks a control on the subform I want to set the subforms visible property to = False.
I have tried Me!Subform.visible=False and Form!Subform.Visible=False but neither are working, I think i have to set focus back to the main form before I can set the visible property of the subform.
This seems really straight forward to me. I have 3 forms - FormA, FormB and FormC. When I open FormA the user inputs some information, when they tab to the last field, FormB opens (which I want to be invisible) and Form C opens.
I've tried putting this coding on the Open event of FormB: Me.Visible = False
I've also tried putting this code on the Open event of FormC Forms!FormB.Visible= False
Neither work. My form (FormB) still displays when eithr event occurs.
I have a couple of fields on my form (Resolution Type, Date Closed) that I want to display only if the Status field has Closed as its selection for each record. I initially set the Visible parameter of both the type and closed fields to False and I reset them to visible by checking for open/closed with an afterupdate event. This works great for the first record but...subsequent entries display those 2, regardless.
I know just enough regarding events to struggle my way through on some things but more advanced field, record level and form level events are beyond my experience level.
Can anybody offer any advice on how to get those two fields to toggle visible/invisible when scrolling through the records?
With that said, does anyone have a link to a post/website referencing this subject?
Hi I have a form where the processing is a little slow and I want to advise the user that something is actually happening! So I put a label on the form (lblWait) with a suitable message. The visible property is set to Yes. On the form open event I put Me.lblWait.visible = False This makes the label invisible as expected. On the code behind the run button I started it off like this Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
' Reveal wait message Me.lblWait.Visible = True
' Delete any extant records in tblTmpReportDates cnn.Execute "DELETE * FROM tblTmpReportDates"
However, my wait message stays invisible throughout the whole process. All the other processing goes fine. I sense I am either using the wrong procedure to put up a wait message but shouldn't this work? Any words of wisdom would be most appreciated, especially if they solve the problem!! Thanks in advance and best wishes
I have a form that I use to both add new records and edit existing ones. I do this thru a combobox and two command buttons. One button opens form in add records mode with combobox visible property set to no. The other button sets the visible property to true. I am getting an error message that "the field combo60 can not be found" Here is my code: Private Sub Label63_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Client Information" Me![Combo60].Visible = True
End Sub The name of the combox is right. Can anyone help?
but guess what, this doesnt work!! looks like the screen is not updated until the button_click processes, if i add a msgbox() after lblstatus.visible=true it shows but after the msgbox which i dont want. anyone know why?
On my switchboard form, I have a check box which the user can check to make a text box (which appears in several different reports) visible and uncheck to make it invisible. The text box in the reports has the same name on all of them.
I am having trouble making this work.
I can think of two solutions, but haven't had success with either yet.
1. I could simply change the visible property of the report(s) control from the form. This works if the report is open, but throws an error if the report is not open.
Code:Public Sub showNumOrgsInReportCB_AfterUpdate()If Me!showNumOrgsInReportCB.Value = 0 ThenReports![publishZipR]![numOrgsF].Visible = FalseElseReports![publishZipR]![numOrgsF].Visible = TrueEnd IfEnd Sub
Is there a property or function I can use to test whether the report is open before I set the text box visibility?
2. Alternatively, a less elegant solution would be to run an event procedure to close all open reports. This would eliminate that issue, but I haven't gotten the code to work yet:
Code:Public Sub showNumOrgsInReportCB_AfterUpdate() Dim rpt As Report ' Enumerate Reports collection.For Each rpt In ReportsDoCmd.Close rpt.nameNext rptEnd Sub
This line: DoCmd.Close rpt.name throws a Run-time Error '13', Type mismatch.
I have a data base which is lying on server - back end and front is on 17 machines. Because of some firewall restrictions, I have to put front end on user's machines for better connectivity. Now the problem is quite oftenly server IP changes and because of that I have to roll back all the tables and split the data base again because tables are linked thru server IP.
Is there any method to autoupdate server IP for connectivity? Or I am thinking if there is a way of making a field in one table in which I can put / change IP and automatically link is created/changed.
OK, here is my situation. I am just starting out with Access, so please be patient:
I have a database which keeps track of two things: Student Information and Student Visit Information. The student information keeps some general information about my vistors, and is rarley added to, with only one entry per student, while the Visitor Information has new data updated regularly, when people come in.
Basically, what I want to do, is create some sort of Report, in which, if I want to pull up "Billy Bob", it would bring up not only his information but also all of his visiting information. Here's the thing--the Visitor information has "Billy Bob"s name in it more than once, as well as everyone else who has visited:
Example:
(Student)May Alle (Visited) 10/26/2004 (student)May Alle (Visited) 10/27/2004 (student)Billy Bob (Visited) 10/26/2004 (student)Billy Bob (visted) 10/27/2004 (student)Billy Bob (visted) 10/28/2004 (student)Candy Cane (visited) 10/26/2004 (student)Candy Cane (visted) 10/29/2004
You get the idea, so each student is in the Visit Information multiple times (maybe there is a more effective way to do this, I don't know...)
But basically, I want to be able to get all of Billy Bob's info, including his visits, on one page. Something like this:
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 created a form in access 2000. I now want to change the table that this form uses. Normally I would just click the properties tab and then select data, a list of all tables would come up and I would choose the correct table. For some reason I cannot access the data tab. The other four tabs are all availabe, but not the data tab. It is like the data is locked or something. I have clicked on properties on my desktop icon and it is not locked. Please help.
i have a problem i hope some one can help me with.
i have a form with a sub form on it, and i want to disable everything until the user clicks a 'edit' button to allow the information to be changed.
i am just testing it at the moment, so i set one text box's enabled property to false. then i added a button with an on click event with the following code:
Me!userid.Enabled = True
when i start the form, the userid box is disabled and when i click on the edit button, it enables it fine.
however, when i change to the next record, the userid box remains enabled. i cant find where to put the code to set it back to false everytime i change the record.
i should also let you know i am a beginner, so please be gentle!
We just upgraded to Office 2007 and are experiencing very slow access performance. This microsoft article addresses the problem:

It won't let me change Subdatasheet Name property to [NONE].
Even if I am able to change it, will this affect my table links. I have a lot of them.
I am just the part-time Access "programmer" here and am somewhat lost trying to figure this out. Does anyone have a simple explanation and solution? I would appreciate any help so much!!
I have a query (qryGetRemoteStuff) like this:SELECT * FROM Table1 IN 'k:projectssomedatabase.mdb'I have several databases where i use this technique. I don't want to link these tables to my database. According to the properties list, "Source Database" is used to store this path to my remote database. So far so good. When the path changes i am in a lot of trouble, that is why i want to change the path of this query dynamically. I don't seem able to change this property.
Is this possible? How?
Immediate window: ?currentdb.QueryDefs("qryGetRemoteStuff").Properties("SourceDatabase")Returns "Property not found". Access help F1 doesn't provide me with a workable example.
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 combo box with three columns, the first one is the bound one, the second is text in English, and the third is text in Spanish. Currently when the form is open, both the English and Spanish texts columns are visible. What I would like to do is set up a command button on a different form that will open the form with just the English showing in the combo boxes, and another button for Spanish. I've tried the following code which opens the form, but the combo box is disabled altogether.
