I have seven (sub) reports put on to a large report. How can I get the reports to shrink or grow according to how much info they have in them. I have tried Detail - Can Shrink, Can grow - but this doesn't seem to work. At the moment I have them all lined up but they are all overlapping each other.
View RepliesI have a continuous form with 4 text boxes
txt1,txt2,txt3,txt4
if txt1 has more than one line how to let it grow and in the same time the other txt boxes will grow to the same size
all the textboxes should have the biggest size
I did this but in report
I put this code in the event OnPrint
Code:
On Error Resume Next
Dim lngCounter As Long, dblMaxHeight As Double, i As Integer
dblMaxHeight = 0
ReDim strcontrol(10)
For i = 0 To 10
[Code] .....
Is there anyway to let this done in forms?
in my report I have table made from 25 fields (5x5) and they all have the Can Grow Option turned on.
However the lines and boxes separating the fields do not grow with my fields and I get plenty of intersections and over lapping.
Is there a way to make boxes and lines grow with the text box?
I have a report, and the "reason" field is one that can grow as needed. The following string is in the field: "MISSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, MISSING SERVICE LOGS FOR DATE OF SERVICE". I bolded MISSING, where the space hits the border. My standard setting for the border style is Transparent, and the space is causing the growing to not work properly. TransparentBorder.pdf shows the incorrect growing. When I change the border style to Solid, the growing works correctly, as shown in the SolidBorder.pdf file.why the growing is not working properly with the Transparent border, but does work correctly with the Solid border?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a report that has the addresses from the client and auditor on the same level. The address of the auditor is on the left side and the client on the right side. They have both the same layout:
Auditor - client
Attn auditor - attn client
etc.
When the Attn for the auditor is empty, it will show and empty space between auditor name and auditor address.
All the fields have the can shrink to yes, but if they are on the same level in the report, the one have text in it, forces the empty space.
Is there a workaround for this?
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).
I have a report that displays incidents, their details, consequences and a photo. Among the details is a severity rating high medium or low, I have been asked to make the report shorten the records which have been given a low severity (because it takes up as much space as the more important/severe ones).
The only method I can think of is to use the onformat event, to shrink and make invisible all the fields that I don't want to see if the severity field shows 'low'.
I have a main report with one subreport. The main report contains details of a payment being made to a supplier. There is the total amount being paid, and the cheque number being transferred. There is also a field called payref which is made invisible. This is used to link up with the subreport. The amount is the total of several invoices for which payment is being made.
The subreport contains details of each of a number of the invoices being settled. The subreport is linked to the main report via a common field called pay-ref, and the subreport is 'visible'. The subreport prints when placed in the page header section of the main report. However when there is a large number of invoices being shown in the subreport only a certain number appear. It appears that the subreport can only hold a certain number.
When the subreport is put, as it should, in the detail section of the main report, it does not appear at all in the main report. I have no clue why and I have made several reports like this one before.

for Operator/Trainer Productivity, I used:
=([rptEmployEvaluationOperator subreport].[Report]![OPTotal]+[rptEmployEvaluationOperatorTrainer subreport].[Report]![OPTotal])/2
for Auditor/Trainer Productivity, I used:
=([rptEmployEvaluationAuditor1 subreport].[Report]![OPTotal]+[EmployEvaluationAuditor2 subreport].[Report]![OPTotal]+[EmployEvaluationAuditor3 subreport].[Report]![OPTotal]+[EmployEvaluationAuditorTrainer subreport].[Report]![OPTotal])/4
These both work if there are values in all totals subreports. When one of them might not have a total, I get an error message.
I tried to use :
=IIf([Orders].[Report].[HasData], [Orders].[Report].[txtOrderValue], 0)
=IIf([Orders].[Report].[HasData], Nz([Orders].[Report].[txtOrderValue], 0), 0)
=iif([rptEmployEvaluationOperator subreport].[Report].[HasData],([rptEmployEvaluationOperator subreport].[Report].[OPTotal]+=iif([rptEmployEvaluationOperatorTrainer subreport].[Report].[HasData],[rptEmployEvaluationOperatorTrainer subreport].[Report].[OPTotal])/2
and the same idea for the second one. I tried both methods and did not work. I am not sure what I am missing.
I have a database (Access 2007) that handles a large number of consultants. Each consultant has a number of skills, has worked in a number of countries, and speak several languages. As contracts come in, I wish to generate a report based on the skill set, language and country/countries that best suits the contract; thereby identifying a group of most suitable consultants. I have designed a report with three sub reports for skills, languages and countries. Each sub report is linked to the main report through Link Master/Child fields using the ConsultantID. That's all fine; I get a report showing all consultants listing all their qualities.
Now, I want to be able to filter the sub reports on the three aspects: Skills; Countries; and Languages.
In the past, for other applications, and with the unfiltered form in preview I have used a popup form with unbound Combo Boxes to generate a string to use in the reports filter. I think I got that technique from Allen Browne, and it has really served me well.
Now, however, I can't use this technique since I can't set the filter for the sub reports. I thought that I might be able to use the Link Master Field with text boxes on the main report, but haven't managed to figure that out.
I have a subreport with bitmap files attached, the sub works great until I link it to the main report then the sub shows nothing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to Access. I am having difficulty summing up totals and bringing them into the main report. To be more specific I have two sup reports called WOExpenseTotalSubreport and WOServiceTotalsubreport. These two subreports are based off of queries that gather the description, price and qty of either services or expenses and then produces a "total" for me on the query.
When I bring these two queries into a report as sub reports I am able to Sum the "total" field in the subreport footer which works fine. What I would like to do is add those two totals together for a grand total on the main report. The two summed fields are called ExpensesSum and ServicesSum. It seems most things I have tried do not produce an expression error but the result is either #error or #name? Here are a few different scenarios I have tried both on the main report details section as well as the footer section.
=[Reports]![qryWOExpenseTotal subreport]![ExpensesSum]+[Reports]![qryWOServiceTotal subreport]![ServicesSum]
=Sum([qryWOExpenseTotal]![Total]) + Sum([qryWOServiceTotal]![Total])
=[qryWOExpenseTotal subreport].[Report].[ExpensesSum] + [ qryWOServiceTotal subreport].[Report].[ServicesSum]
I have a report with several forms, these are all graphs.
In order to fit them all on one report, I need them to be able to grow.
This works fine in Report View, they grow as expected, however when exporting to PDF, printing or print preview, they do not grow. I set them all to Yes for Can Grow and it displays correctly in Report View.
I have fields on the main menu where folks put in a start and end date prior to running a report. I'm doing a monthly report that pulls current month, and two prior months of data. For example, the user selects a date range of 10/1/14 to 10/31/14 the report will show August, September and October results.
I need the column headings to change each month depending on the date range they select to run the report so in November they will pull 11/1/14 to 11/30/14 and get September, October and November.
The headings for the columns would then adjust.
I put an unbound text box with the formula as follows in the control source of the report page header to pull the month that is equal to the current month minus two (I'm just showing one of the column headings formula):
=Format([Forms]![Main Menu]![EndDate]-2,"mmmm yyyy")
This is not working. It's pulling the current month which I have set to run for October so it should show August 2014.
I'm trying to create a report that contains data from a "main" form and a subform. However, I can't get the main form data to populate no matter what I try. I've been through all sorts of queries and just can't get it to work. The main form and subform are both separate tables, and there are no redundant fields.
Basically, the main form is an inventory of assets, and the subform is designed as a way to submit trouble tickets when one of those assets requires maintenance or repair.
I'm working on a database that produces employee contracts. To make it look as professional as possible I hide the Access main window when the splash screen loads using the ShowWindow function. The various forms to check and enter details all pop up without any problem, but when I get to the last stage where I use a report to produce the contract and then open it in PrintPreview mode, it won't display (unless I show the main window again , which looks very untidy!). Is it actually possible to display a report with the main Access window hidden?

Hello,
Anyone know why my MODI printout code is shrinking the 2nd + pages? This is only happing with the vba printout. If I open the file right from Office Image Document and print it comes out fine. Below is the code I am using.
The c: emp est.mdi is an exsiting file.
I have also tried miPrint_Print and just printout and all do the same thing.
The document is 3 pages and only the 1st comes out normal the 2nd and 3rd page are very very small in the upper left corner. But if I print these from Image Document itself it prints fine on all 3 pages.
Code:Set MyDoc = New MODI.DocumentMyDoc.Create ("c: emp est.mdi")MyDoc.PrintOut miPRINT_ACTUALSIZESet MyDoc = Nothing
Thanks

Hi,
Can you tell me if it is possible to create a main report with a Portrait view and then add a sub report to the main report and print this out in landscape mode. If you can please can you advise on the best way to do this. Thanks PWF
In Access 2010, I have a simple sub-report I use to count a field. Works perfect by itself. However, when I place it in the main report the results change. And it doesn't matter where I place it in the Main report, it still returns a low count. Is there some filter I am missing?

Is there a report template out there that could address this for a complete report?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have an MS Access database. It contains tables linked to tables on SQL Server. Therefore MS Access is really only acting as a front end to the SQL Server database.
I converted the MS Access database to a .mde file.
I noticed over the past few days that the .mde file is growing in size. I don't understand why this is the case. The data is being stored in SQL Server and the database only contains links to the tables so I wouldn't have expected the size of the .mde file to change.
Does anyone know why the .mde file is growing? Is there anyway I can stop this of growing?
Many Thanks
I have a problems which seems simple, but it's made me doubt everything I have learned about this; I suddenly find myself unable to grasp what I belive is a very small and easy solution, but I cannot!! (Either that or I have stumbled upon a real conseptual problem without realising it :) )
This is what I had working nicely
Supplier
supplyer_ID : ID and PK of a supplyer
more boring attributes
Ingredient
ingredient_ID: ID and PK of ingredient
Name
Supplyer_ID: FK to who the supplyer is
Recipe
Recipe_ID: PK and ID
Recipe_unit_weight: How big each unit should be
other stuff
When making a recipe it is obvious that there can be many ingredients and that an ingredient can be used in many recipes, thus it's a many-many. I therefore created a junction table:
Recipe_Ingredients
Recipe_Ingredient_ID: PK (I was not completely sure if this one would come in handy, but it has not so far caused any problems (that I can see)
Recipe_ID: FK to which recipe it is for
ingredient_ID: FK to which ingredient
Receipe_ingredient_amount: How much of the ingredient
Receipe_Ingredient_order: In which order to put into recipe
I had a nice form where the Recipe was the parent and the subform contained the ingredients. The subform was driven by a query that had the columns from the Recipe_Ingredient table plus the name of the supplier as well as the version of the recipe (as there might be many). Using a combo to get the name of the Ingredient and binding on the Ingredient_ID I didn't need to also bring in the name of the Ingedient in the query.
Now enter problem: For professional people this lacks one thing; Being able to use another Recipe as an ingredient. After a lot of thinking the solution I envisioned was;
Add a column in the Recipe to flag that is a base recipe (true/false). Then adding a new column to the Recipe_Ingredient table, namely Base_ID, which is the Recipe_ID for which recipe to use. As there is already a Recipe_ID referring to which the ingredient belongs, I needed a different name. Additionally I had to change the relationships in the subform query to be left-joins (always include all columns in the Recipe_Ingredient and join in whatever you can find in the other two.
This works for diplay purposes (when I hand edit the join table). The problems I get is when adding a new recipe as ingredient in the subform;
When adding a base (recipe) at the point of saving the record my Recipe table validation kicks in saying you need to have Recipe_unit_weight > 0!!! I am not planning on adding any recipes here. This does however not always happen, as another error also kicks in: Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find a record in the table 'Supplier' with the key matching field(s) ''. As it's a recipe there is no supplier and I'm assuming it is trying to find a supplier.
If I strip away the extra columns from the query powering the subquey (like supplier and base (recipe) version) it works like a charm. In effect it means that the query only consists of the junction table.
It seems that having a two-way junction table with left-join with both "parents" is causing problems. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here or is it Access that don't get the picture (and how do I tell it).
Any hints or suggestions are welcome

Thx :)
Okay,This will probably sound confusing, but I'm going to try my best to hone down the issue.First:There is an imported DBF table that I have to perform calculations on, primarily of the string variety, but also with a few type conversions (such as: String "06" = CDate("1/1/" & "06") -> into a Date/Time field)Okay, given that, I was doing many things all at once, but found by doing it in several stages allowed me the ability to: Narrow down the actual amount of items in the DBF that I will import Speed up some of the calculation in the TransferSo I have two tables:tbl_OriginalTape_ID: Text(10) - {Primary}Title: Text(50) - {Primary}Title_Rem: Text(50)Category: Text(3)TitleLen: NumberActionQuery on Tbl_Original: INSERT INTO tbl_Original (tape_id, title, title_rem, category, TitleLen) SELECT qry_dbf.tape_id, qry_dbf.title, qry_dbf.title_rem, qry_dbf.category, Len(RTrim([qry_dbr.title])) as TitleLen) FROM qry_dbf;tbl_CalcTitlesTapeID: Text(10)MovieTitle: Text(100)AltTitle: Text(100)Remarks: Text(50)Paren: Text(20)Bracket: Text(30)Orig_Id: Text(10)OrigTitle: Text(50)Now to take the data populated into tbl_Original, there are many rules that I have to follow. Example: if Original.Title = {text}>>{text} the the left of the double ">" signs, is the MovieTitle, to the Right is the Alt Title. If in the MovieTitle there is a (*) {parenthetical} the parenthetical is removed and the text insde the () is instered into Paren. Similar rules apply for Bracket, just with [] square brackets instead of Parentheses (). Also, if the Trimmed Title Length from the Original insert =40 (the maximum for the DBF field, AND the Original Category field = "SEE" then the title_rem field is appended to the AltTitle field of tbl_CalcTitles, and the the tbl_CalcTitles.Remarks field is set to "" (emtpy string), otherwise the title_rem field is populated into tbl_CalcTitles.Remarks. Also for attempted relationships for later use, I directly transfer the tbl_Original.title and tape_id fields to the Orig_Id and OrigTitle fields of tbl_CalcTitles.Yes, This is very annoying, and i've spent some time writing all the little funcitons to do exactly this, and be accurate every time I run my action query. (It is pointless to post here, since it involves way too much vb back end code to post it all.)qry_dbf: 33099 recordstbl_Original: 33098 recordstbl_CalcTitles: 33098 recordsNow, given this setup, we know that in my insert into tbl_Original, 33098 records of qry_dbf were unique in the paired tape_id and title fields. So now I want to link qry_DBF to the tbl_CalcTitles, so that I get exactly 33098 records from qry_dbf that match up witht he Orig_id and OrigTitle in tbl_CalcTitles. Yet, no matter what i do, I do not get this result. My last attempt was a LEFT JOIN from tbl_Original to qry_DBF and I got 33138 records returns. How did grow extra records. if I ONLY have 33098 in tbl_Original, and 33099 in qry_dbf, where are the 40 extra coming from?So I tried to link tbl_CalcFields to qry_dbf on an INNER join on the same fields, and now, this is purely mind-boggling:Each Time I alter the number of fields DISPLAYED from qry_dbf, the total number of records return alters. Example:tbl_CalcTitles.TapeID, tbl_CalcTitles.MovieTitle, qry_dbf.Title: 33092 recordstbl_CalcTitles.TapeID, tbl_CalcTitles.MovieTitle, qry_dbf.Title, qry_dbf.category, qry_dbf.format: 33072 recordsNow this is completely beyond what one would expect. I already know that there are 33098 unique records in qry_dbf, on the pairing of fields, Tape_ID and Title, of with all 33098 records are contained within tbl_CalcTitles with the EXACT replica of those two fields. so If I am doing an Inner Joing of tbl_CalcTitles and qry_Dbf on those two fields which produced 33098 unique records, why would altering the number of DISPLAYED fields affect that outcome. Why am I not getting all 33098 records from qry_dbf that are contained in tbl_calcFields?Thanks a lot, this has been extermely nerve-wracking.Jaeden "Sifo Dyas" al'Raec RuinerPS - qry_DBF is SQL source defined as:SELECT tap001.*FROM tap001 IN 'tap001.dbf'[ODBC;DSN=Visual FoxPro Database;SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=D:Quarterly]ORDER BY tap001.tape_id, tap001.title;
