Reports :: Unable To Generate Report
Jun 19, 2015
I created a database to set-up contracts, record receipt and issue of drawings and generate procurement schedules for construction projects. The database has been in use for over a year and I have only now encountered an unforeseen problem, the fix for which is beyond my skillset. I am unable to generate the reports as I have done for the other projects in the database.
The problem is in the Drawing Registers section. When the drawings are issued, I have to log the date they were received, the drawing number, drawing title, revision letter/number and note any changes on the current drawing. The drawing number is the Primary Key and is linked to several other tables, forms, reports, etc. The problem I have now encountered is that Architects arent that creative when numbering their drawings and tend to use the same numbering sequence for each job. So I can have several jobs with the drawing number A01. I have managed to still keep this field unique by adding a prefix (either a job number or an abbreviation for the job name). This way I am not changing the actual drawing number. However, on this current job the Architect is using the numbering sequence A1, A2, A3A25. Because he is using A1 and not A01, the drawing register reports are not sorting the drawings in the correct order and drawings A10 is listed after drawing A1 and A20 after drawing A2.
I found a round-about way of getting the drawings sorted by adding a second field. The primary key would be my version of the drawing number where I can enter it in a manner that the drawings will sort; the new field would be the actual drawing number as seen on the drawings. The reports would be sorted by my field but this field will not be visible on the reports.Is there another way to sort these records?

I found the vba to generate multiple pdf's from a single report which is working well (see below).
The script below generates about 15 pdf files and stores them in the specified directory
I'd like to be able to now email these to the individual users (SCNAME) but cannot work out where to start, i've tried a lot of things from the research on emailing, just not working.
All the information I need is in one table which includes the users email address field (SCemail).
I've also created an update query which generates a unique file name into the field (SCInstallDate) (currently not using this field data)
Code:
Private Sub cmdSC2PDF_Click()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT DISTINCT [SCNAME] FROM [Schedule];", dbOpenSnapshot)
Do While Not rst.EOF
strRptFilter = "[SCName] = " & Chr(34) & rst![SCNAME] & Chr(34)
[Code] .....

I have to compile a report from more than two queries. All queries have a field common between them.
E.g.
query1 gives name, address and contact number of all the 30 students in a class
query2 gives semester wise marks obtained by each student
query3 gives performance in sports of each student.
All the three queries have name of the student common in them.
Now I wish to generate a report card which should be as under:
1. The record of query1, query2 and query3 corresponding to a particular student should come together.
2. The record of query1, query2 and query3 corresponding to the next students should come after that and so on.....
I tried using a sub-report but it ends up displaying all the records of query1 first and then all the records of query2 and so on...

I have a report named PIRREPORTFORMD17792. Every time I try to print out a record, the MS Access 2010 uses PIRREPORTFORMD17792 as a default file name.Instead of using PIRREPORTFORMD17792 as a default file name for all the reports, I would like to use a field on the form for the file name. This field called PIRNO. This field will automatically generate a number whenever a new record is added.
If I am on a record shown PIR20014-0001, then I want the file name of this report (in PDF) to be PIR20014-0001.

Using a table with employees, I created another with equipment that uses a lookup to assign each piece of equipment to an employee (more than 1 piece of equipment can be assigned to each employee)
I want to be able to select records using a form, either by checkbox or listbox of which employees to include in the report that shows what equipment each is assigned. The problem I am having is creating the form/code to create the and/or query to generate the report.

I need to build such a report, Unfortunately, I do not know how to use VBA to create each group (grouping by type) had a different header.
The problem becomes bigger that everything must generate queries dynamically cross, the number of columns in a given type may vary depending on the number or the size of the products in which they occur.

I have a table called bookings, three records within that table are;
arrivaldate
departuredate
breakfast
This Table (Bookings) is linked to the guest table via GUESTID..Assuming that a guest arrive on the 5th and leaves on the 10th, I am trying to create a breakfast voucher for the guest for each day of their stay.
So 5 vouchers, 1 each for the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th.I have created the breakfast voucher as a report and a query to include data but I dont know how to propagate the new data to actually create the vouchers. All I can get is data for the arrival or departure fields.

I have created invoices as reports but now I'm looking for a way to add an invoice number to it. It needs to be an auto increment number for every invoice for every client.
I have 10 different clients and I want them to have their own incremented invoice number. Every client has it own unique number. So for example in week 1 I want to have the following invoice numbers; 01-0001, 02-0001, 03-0001 etc. In week 2 I want them to be; 01-0002, 02-0002, 03-0002. It is important that every client has the invoice numbers without gaps.
What is the best way to realize this?

I want to save my report as excel file on the user computer with a click of a button. I have tried this code:
Private Sub Cmd_ReporttoExcel_Click()
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Gastrolog Report", acFormatXLS, "C:UsersXXDocuments" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls"
End Sub
But it is giving error 2282 - The format in which you are attempting to output the current object is not available.
The other part of this question is :
This is something similar when I didn't have "PDF add in " in access 2007, when I added PDF add in then option to save file in PDF was available in "output to" action of macro. There is nothing like excel add in. However when I can export the data in excel sheet by Export function in access why don't I have option to save file as excel in "output to " action in macro? I want to have this option so that user can click a button in the form rather than in the top ribbon try to find out how to transfer and save the excel sheet.

I'm trying to produce a report which uses a static deisgn and does not change. For example,I require in the detail of the report a table say 3 * 8 ....and in the report I need the data to fill each one of these cells. However I may not have 8 records , therefore I need the remaing columns/cells empty - the design of 3 * 8 must not change... at the moment I have a dynamic design so if i have 3 records I have 3 *3 table leaving a massive gap on the report.

I have a landscape oriented report which is A4 size. When I select Landscape in print preview the result is cut off on the right. In the form's design mode I get a little green triangle on the top-left which tells me that the form is wider than the page size. Is this because I am using a default printer with a portrait setting?
I want to avoid having to change the default printer for each different form orientation. I am printing to a pdf printer (pdfCreator which doesn't appear to have a landscape output setting) while testing my design so as not to waste ink & paper.
I am using Windows XP SP3 with Access 2007.

I have a main form (Parent) along with a subform(Children). I want to have a button that generates a report with the Parent information as a header and the items in the subform as details. In addition, I want the report to show only the children that were recently added not all of the children.

I am using a barcode font in order to generate a number as a barcode on my report records. In order for my barcode scanner to read the barcode it needs an asterisk at the beginning and at the end.
So, if my record ID is 62 - in order for the barcode to be displayed correctly, it needs to be on the report as *62* .
Without digressing into a discussion on barcode methods in Access, how can I precede and succeed each ID number field with an asterisks?

I have a form where we fill in information for supply of equipment to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows in my report detail for each signature of the items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.

Hi,
I have the following very general question, but I hope you can give me a few hints so I can start and find things out on my way.
I just created a database which via VBA procedures runs all kinds of queries and puts the results in tables, for instance I have about 20 tables now with 10 fields each and for every table I want to run the same type of report.
I already made one report for one table via the report wizard, I would like to use the layout of this table for all other tables using a VBA code, so when I run this code it will create all these reports for me.
What is the best way to start?
Many thanks!

I have a report that prints blank serialized forms and I basically need a query to generate a field where if I request 4 sheets to be printed the list generated would look like this:
ClaimNo
1
2
3
4
It seems like this would be simple, but I'm a noob.

The premise:
I’m trying to create a report that is based on one of the columns in my data set. This is a rather large database, but there are only a few variations in this column and I’d like to have a report of the individual variations.
The current fix:
I’ve been able to make a report of all the variations and they are organized within each group. I cannot get Access to make a report that has only one of the variations.
How I’m doing this:
I am currently trying to use a combo box to pick which variation I want. I created a table that is related to the main table, which only has the names of the individual variations (and none are repeating, so I believe that was done correctly).
Then I am using a command button to call the report format (I am using VB to do this).
The issues:
Rather than just displaying the single variation that I chose, the one I chose is highlighted and all of the others are showing up directly below it. Then all of the data sets are showing up.
The needed fix, I think:
I don’t think I have the combo box and the command button linked properly. Does anyone know how I should have the parameters set in the combo box and what command I need to include in VB to draw the information from the combo box?
