Reports :: How To Get Rid Of The Lines Appearing In A Report
Jul 13, 2013
how I get rid of the lines appearing in a report? I've set everything to transparent but the group header and subsequent records in the subreport all have separating lines.
I am having an issue with viewing a report. I have a button set up to show the print preview of the report. There is a chart based on the report's record source, and two sub-reports showing related data. The print preview section however shows the the chart area where it would appear is blank, i.e. there is a white area where the chart should go. There is no error message. The two sub-reports appear correctly. If I go to print the report, however, the chart appears, and it will also appear if I change the view type (e.g. to layout and back again).
I have been modifying an existing report that was formatting and printing fine but since I modified it (adding some text boxes and moving some controls around), it is now adding a blank page.
For example, If the report was normally 2 pages long with page numbers, it is inserting a blank page without page number between page 1 and page 2......
Can anyone help please?I have a search form that passes 4 parameterers to a query. In the query builder it reads:Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*" >=[FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtStartDate]<=[FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtEndDate][FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourseID]This works fine. But I also want it to search on only 1 or 2 parameters and set the rest to Null so I have used this statement for each one. Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*" OR Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*" Is Null This again works ok and I can search on any parameter. However, every time I enter data into the search form and run the query it repeats the query string in the query builder. i.eLike [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*"Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*"Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*"etc...It does this with all 4 parameters and it's starting to look very messy. The SQL view is the same with a new repeated line added each time I run the query.How do I stop this happening? Thanks in advance.
I have a specific form, paper version, that I'd like to reproduce in an Access report. This form, which has 34 blank lines in the paper version, is used when people need to borrow some Tools or Equipment on a short period of time.
My report is made up in Access, but, if a person signs for, lets say, three different piece of Equipment, once it is sent to the printer, it prints three lines, which are the equipement signed for and it leave a big empty space before it reach the page footer.
What I need is something that will fill that empty space with blank lines. I found the following on the Net which meets my needs up to a point. What I mean is once it print the last line, it keeps on printing the last line until it meets the total count of 34 lines.
Here what I found on the Net: (note that I have a =count(*) into the Group Header)
Option Compare Database 'Use database order for string comparisons Option Explicit Global TotCount As Integer ' Call the SetCount() function from the group header section's ' OnPrint property using the syntax: =SetCount(Report)
[Code] ....
I submitted an attach file (blank_lines.gif) to show you what I end up with.
I need to replicate an existing report that has a number of 3 columns across the page and has 35-40 rows down the page...it's like a table in Word or a spreadsheet in Excel. I need to print the column and row lines.
Is there a simple way to include these in the report other than me drawing each and every line?
I have an asset data base to generate individual asset detail reports with a sub report on the same page listing similar assets from a separate query. I have set the master and child fields, one to many. This works perfectly for the first two assets (pages), however the sub report stops showing data on the third asset (page).
One of the Field Names in my table is titled ActionDeadlineDate, with Date/Time selected as the Data Type for the field. On one of my forms I have created a text box based on this field. Under Properties/Control Source for this text box I have inserted the following formula:
=[DateReceivedinADR]+40 Basically, this forces the text box to auto populate to a date 40 days beyond whatever date is entered in the DateReceivedinADR text box. On the form itself everything works flawlessly.
I have created a query that includes the ActionDeadlineDate field. However, when I run a report off this query it will not populate the date for this field. On the report this column is just blank, with no date indicated.
All other date fields I use on the form (at least those without an underlying date formula) appear as they should. Is there a way to make a date based on a formula appear on the report as well?
Hope I didn't make this too complicated. Maybe what I am asking for is not possible since a date formula is being utilized in the text box, rather than a simple date.
I am creating a report that is organized by project. The detail lines are to list payments applied to the project. How can I skip the detail section (or print a single blank line) if there are no payments in the separate payment table that match the project ID? Is there a way to tell that there were no matching payments and format accordingly? I currently get multiple blank lines.
How to keep Access from including the detail line items in my report total?
Below is a quick image of part of the report.
The report is compiled from two tables. The first table has detail information on each line, in four columns:
State Name Amount Quantity (Not used)
AL Store 1 313.94 60 AL Store 2 12.59 1 AZ Store 3 576.45 90 CO Store 4 172.22 24 CO Store 5 502.25 88
The 2nd table is a summary by state with three columns:
State Amount Quantity (Not used) AL 326.53 61 AZ 576.45 90 CO 674.47 112
I'm trying to make the report group by state, then name, amount and a subtotal for each state. This all works fine in the report.
I want to also add the amount field from the 2nd table (State Subtotals) to the report just for reference. I've managed to make this work as well. (See State Total on image)
The problem that I'm having is that when I try to do a final total of the State Total column in the report footer, it seems to add the (State Subtotals) amount field on every detail line (See red numbers in picture. they are not actually on the report, but Access thinks they are and includes them in the final total).
So far I've tried different joins, hiding various fields, sub reports, ect. I just can't figure out how to stop Access from calculating the detail lines.
Does anyone know how to make a report have lines in it like excel can do when you print out. My boss likes to read this data with lines seperating stuff. Thanks.
In my first steps working with Access I feel unable to find out how can I create a report that shows the data (records from a Clients Table - Name, Phone, e-mail fields-) in a "spreadsheet like" format with gridlines. Can anyone help me on this?
I have a WO Table and a related WO Procedures Table. I would like to add a specific # of blank lines/records between each record but that # will vary. So the report will show the WO Procedure Desc then a specified # of blank lines below it and then the next WO Procedures Desc then a specified # of blank lines below it etc.
I thought to add a field to the Proc tbl called #ofLines and whatever number was entered would be the # of blank lines to appear below the record on the report.
The overall goal is to hide a whole line of a report using "canshrink" on a series of boxes, some of which are numbers and some that aren't. Some will be blank when the data is loaded into the form and I want these to make the rest of the form adjust.
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() If Me.Label33.Value = "<1" Then Me.Label34.Caption = "Nothing." End If End Sub
Ive been converting .xls files to Access database files. I would like to use ACCESS to develop the Reports but the client wants the Reports to look like those in EXCEL..eg. where you have lines between rows and columns. If I could give my Access Reports the same look and feel, I could wean these guys off of Excel and into the wonderful world of relational models.
Does anyone have sqlcode or tricks I might use to create the Excel 'look alike' report in Access?
I am trying to create a report that has a header ( all ok ) then could have 1 or 15 detail lines ( all ok ) which contain cost for each line
then I have a footer with the subtotals of the costs and also bank details then I have footnotes
What I need the report to do is keep the subtotals, bank details and the footer notes at the bottom of the page all the time weather I have one detail line or 15 detail lines
What is happening at this time is the footer information is moving up or down depending on the number of lines I have.
It's my 1st posting! Need help on how to get Unbound OLE objects (i.e. lines, pics, et.) reflected when publishing my Access report into MS Word. So far, only the data are exported. Appreciate your help.

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
I am trying to create a P&L statement in access. I know what I want to come out at the end. I am just starting to play with access and having trouble getting what I want to come out of it.
On the sales side I have a query that gathers all the revenue sources and calculates a total for each date. I then use a second query to just take out the data I want for the P&L report. I created a sub-report that displays the data I want. I use the grouping and grand total features to get the total into the report footer. So far so good.
On the expense side I created a form of a query to manage the one to many relationship to capture the data for expenses (one purchase with many line items). I created a query based of this query to get the relevant data for my expense sub-report. I created the sub-report and got everything looking and calculating the way I want it to. I use the same grouping and grand total features to display the data in the report footer. Still good.
I created a new main parent report with the two sub-reports (sales & expenses) on it and even was able to pull the totals from the sub-reports into the main (so currently the subtotals of the two sub-reports are displayed twice). Now when I try to use the textboxes I used to pull the sub-report totals into the main report to perform additional calculations (sales - expenses) I get #error. I have tried different things and gotten ?name.
Control source for the two textbox controls on the main that display correctly, but don't let me do any further calculations.
=[rptP&LExpensesOverview]![AccessTotalsAmount]
=[rptP&LSalesOverview]![AccessTotalsTotal Sales]
To do the subtraction I have tried using the references above, as well as just using the names of the unbound text boxes in the report that bring the totals into the main report.
As a work around, I tried to build one query with all the data from sales and expenses, but can't "filter" based on date and get the data I want in the query results because the two sets of data are not necessarily related. I either get a long list of records, or no records (I am currently only playing with about 5 days of data).
The aim of what I am doing is to create a monthly statement to give to our intermediaries that shows the commission they will receive each month for the deals they have referred. I have managed to create this report, HOWEVER I can't figure out how to filter out which month I need, so I a report for Jan, Feb Mar etc... The idea is that at the end of each month I need to run the report so only the latest month shows...
I've done this once entirely by accident and can't seem to duplicate it...
I have a report. It has the following:
Report Header: Logo and title Department Header Supervisor Header Group Header Detail Department Footer: Totals Report Footer: Overall Totals for all departments
Here's my question. I have combo boxes on my main form that filter this report. The combo boxes are referred to by the query that runs the report. How do I get proper unfiltered overall totals in my report footer?
