Hello all!
I would like to have one stupid question, because I could not find any answer on this forum.
I want save the Form as Report. I can do that from "Menu bar", but I want to do that from the code (VBA or Macro) without inputting the output parameters by users.
Do you have any idea how?
Many thanks.
Krava
Thanks for the help so far...
I have managed to export areport to file but I lose all the formatting. I get the option to output as html, xls, txt, rtf or snapshot format.
Is there a way I can output the file whilst maintaining the look of the report as it is in print/preview??
Cheers
Can anyone tell me how to have Access automatically close a report without saving any changes.
I do not mind if the user closes the report manually but do not want Access to prompt the user to save changes. I want it to automatically abandon any changes that were made.
I have built several reports and I have set the layout to Landscape. When I go into the reports after a few days, it puts the format back to portrait. How can I stop this from returning to portrait?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all - I'm new here and am very glad to find this forum for some help!
I've been using Access for several years and I do the same type of reports over and over and all of a sudden I'm having trouble.
I typically modify existing queries - changing the name of the department in order to pull up their info - and then I format a report and modify that same report over and over with the "Properties" key where I pull in the new query info and then use SAVE AS to save the report with that department's information.
For the first time ever it will not let me SAVE AS with the new info. Sometimes it just does nothing at all - appearing to save but then the report isn't there - sometimes giving me a pop up box that says it couldn't find the search key - I don't even know what that is!
I can SAVE AS with queries, but not reports. HELP!
Thanks!
I have a report that prints labels.
Every few times of opening the report, the page setup settings revert back to default i.e. 1" margins, 1 column etc.
how can i assure that these settings remain unchanged??
thanks!
What I want to do is save a daily report to a map source, each day the map name changes so for today the map name is "Report2013-10-03", and tomorrow the map name will be "Report2013-10-04".
Is this possible? is there some function like save(Report%s) where %s = date() ?
Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way for a report to be automatically saved as an excel file. Also, the Access database is stored on the company's server so would you be able to choose the path where the excel file would be stored?
Cheers,

I am building a database which produces a report which I have formatted as a letter, I know I could have done this via a mail merge etc however...
What I am wanting to achieve is when this report(letter) is run, is there a way that when it is produced from a macro button embedded in a form that this report can then be saved as a pdf attachment within the same access database attached to a client record?
I have developed an Access Database for my Co-Op work term workplace, and everything seems to be running smoothly with the exception of the report generation phase. The company I am at has a set template for all reports (Clients column always goes in a specific place on the page, and the report always contains the same categories in the same locations; things like that). The problem is that, every time I go to make a new report, I have to re-format and re-make the report. Is it possible to save a report`s format so that, when I go to make a new report, it automatically applies that format to the data being used?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have generated a report in acviewreport, after viewing the details I want to save the report as a pdf file with the client name, invoice number and date. In the report design view I added a cmd button and successfully coded it. However, it saves the report WITH the cmd button showing. I don't want this button saved. Is it possible to remove the button from the report AFTER I have clicked it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to open a form in design mode and add controls, this i have done. I am doing this all in a class, and am having trouble saving the modified form.
I have tried using the following, both produce errors
Code:
DoCmd.Save acForm, "tmpQueryDes"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "tmpQueryDes", acSaveYes
I have a timer form which closes the database after a period of time with DoCmd.Quit. Another form is open at this point but if a user has left it in the middle of editing it I want to be able to save the record in the other form and close it before the timer form closes the database.
What VBA do I need in the timer form to save the record and close the other form before DoCmd.Quit? Just to be clear the code is...
Private Sub Form_Timer()
On Error Resume Next
Me.Tag = Val(Me.Tag) - (Me.TimerInterval / 1000)
Me.Caption = "The database will exit in " & Me.Tag & " seconds"
If Val(Me.Tag) <= 0 Then
[code]...
Is there a simple way to make sure all fields on a form are filled before the data is saved to the table? I looked into using thew IF is Null Then but for 30 fields that is alot of code. Does anyone know a easier way?

Hello,
I have a form and I have a button so people can open records to load into the form. The problem is that whenever they close the form it updates the information in the table. How do I stop that from happening?
I want the information in the table to update only when they hit the button I made (which works).
And how do I stop it from loading the record when I open the form, or maybe I can specify to load a blank record instead, how do I do that?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
I have created a form which I would like to save, and use as my own template.
This is because the form is linked, and when I try to make any structural changes to the database, I have to delete the link, start again, and then redesign the form.
Is there anyway I can save the form, to use again, instead of starting from scratch?
Thanks so much!
Hayley
What's Up,
Got a quick question, is there a way to have a field in a subform update a field on the primary form's table? In other words, enter the data once and it stores it twice, on the subform table and the primary form table.
Thanks for any help.

I have 4 tables with the following fields:
Table1 - CustID, customer information....
Table2 - CustID, VehicleID, vehicle information....
Table3 - VehicleID, PolicyID, policy number information
Table4 - PolicyID, premium collection information
The bold/underlined fields are my primary keys in the Relationship.
Everything works well, except for Table4!!! All the records encoded in it can not be saved.
Hi,
On my Form I have a Label (Recnote) which gets changed by the VB code if criterior is true. My form does change this correctly however, once I quit (or close the Form) and come back, the changes dissappear.
But the strange thing is that every now and then it does save it.
Any ideas??? Any other command I should use?
The following works as it disables my Import button and changes the Label contents but does not save when exited
Private Sub CloseME_Click()
DoCmd.Requery
If [CountOfOracle Co] = 0 Then
MsgBox "Cannot Close ME Yet", vbOKOnly, "Circular Rec"
Else
Me.Recnote.BackColor = 65535
Me.Recnote.Caption = "Final Reconciliation"
Me.Recnote.ForeColor = 32768
Me.Import.Enabled = False
DoCmd.RepaintObject
DoCmd.Save
End If
End Sub
I was just wondering if it's possible to save a form with all its settings and selections, and reload it later? So if a user is filling a form out with a few subforms which show a yes/no field in datasheet view, if they select a few options in the yes/no field and hit save, when they reload, it will bring up the form with everything they had selected when they hit save. I'd like to put Save and Load buttons on my form if it's possible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a simple form with a save button created directly from a table. I would like the on click event to check 4 fields to be sure that they weren't left blank and have a msgbox prompting to fill in the missing data, obviously not saving until all fields are complete. Fields are FirstName LastName Age Position. If all data is filled I would like the button to save the record and begin new record.

I have a form created on a query. I created a field to add up the cost of all components on the form and now I need to save it to a field in a table so that I can run a report (my invoice)! Any suggestions??
I am trying to make a database for a shop which can do several things:
1) I want to give in what is being bought by the shop to make their products form. This has to be saved in a table named STOCK.
2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.
3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.
In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.
How can I do this??
Thanks for your answer
I have a form that has a bunch of project information and scrolling buttons at the bottom to browse by next/last.
Right now the form is sorted by the ID associated with the project, which kinda sucks because they were and are not put in alphabetically.
I discovered if you right click on a field and click "Sort Ascending" or the opposite it works fine but when I open the database it is right back to normal ID sort
I have checked the Data and Other tabs but can't find anything with regards to this as well as I have tried sorting the actual table by name and that changed nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And another question...
In my database I have a button on a form which leads to a subform popping up. On the subform popping up, I display data from the first form. However, unless I first save the original form and then go to the subform, the data isn't passed on. How can I make the button both open up the subform and save the form so that the data is passed on?
Again, any help is much appreciated.
Big question I know
ok, i have my table set up with the following fields:
Date; Name; Shift; Area; Plant; JobDescr.
I plan to create a form where the user1 can enter the following details just once:
Date; Name; Shift.
Then below, the user1 would need to enter the following fields several times:
Area; Plant; JobDescr
All the above fields need to be recorded in the database on the same table:
Date; Name; Shift; Area; Plant; JobDescr.
User2 would need to come along and generate a report which would look something like this:
22/18/06 Joe Bloggs B Shift
Area 1 (heading)
Compressor (Plant)
Machine overhauled, plant repaired etc, etc.
Area 6
Boiler
Boiler serviced blah blah blah. maybe several lines of JobDescr.
Area 67
Car
Moved due to blocking fire escape.
User2 would need to be able to call up what happened in any given area between any given date or any given plant.
I apologise for the longwindedness of the question.
Can anyone guide me to the easiest way to do this
TIA
