I am having a problem with 3 pc's attached to our network but at a different campus. They have been complaining that the Snapshot Views of reports they are running are stopping the print queue by asking to load paper type 'bond' to the printer. I have checked the Snapshot Viewer printer settings on thoses machines and indeed they are defaulting to 'paper type - bond'. Setting the paper type to Plain or Unspecified will only print on that type for that instance. Is there anywhere to set the default paper type, i cannot find anything!!
To set the default values for controls, select the control on the tool bar and press F4. The default value properties list will appear. I like to turn off all of the 3D stuff by resetting some the values like 'Special Effect', 'Border Style', etc. This way I don't have to manually change them after the fact...
Thanks Ken have done this - however when I go off and word with a differant mdb file then come back to the original which I had open when I entered the defaults - the defaults have disappeared.
i have set up option groups (using the wizard) with Yes=1, No = 2 and N/A =3 with the default set to 3. After creating the option groups the default does not default even though the properties box clearly shows the default being set to 3 - can anyone suggest why this would be?
I have combo boxes that have all been created using the wizard with the options Yes, No and Not Applicable. There is no default set but they default to the second entered option ("No") every time. I have created the form a second time in the hope this would do something but to no avail. Any ideas??
Does anyone know how to change a field FORMAT default? I am creating lots of tables with lots of number format fields. I don't, however, want a zero default value (or any default value for that matter) for all of these fields. I can go in and delete them manually, but that seems like a backward way of doing things. Does anyone know how to elimate that default value from the format of a number field in general?
I am wondering if it is possible using VBA to update using either an option group or check boxes as shown in the frmDefaultValue in the attached file to update two tables tblLabelNumber and tblMediaType.
The form frmMedia contains two combo boxes. I am trying to use the form frmDefaultValue with an option group and check boxes as shown as not sure what is the best method here to update the values in the two table tblLabelNumber & tblMediaType at the push of a button Update as in the form?
My combobox is not working correctly. When I select one of the dropdown items in the combobox it always defaults to the 1st item on the list. I want to be able to select any of the dropdown items on the list.
Each day I produce reports from access and email then out using the snapshot viewer format. The majority of recipients open this find and the report is absolutely fine, however, when other recipients open the report it comes out all slanted and blurred. It almost looks like there snapshot viewer is squashing a landscape report into a portrait view. Does anyone know how to correct this, as its driving me mad trying to find an answer?
I am using Access 2000, Windows XP and Groupwise 6.5. I am trying to email an employee leave report using the SendObject method. I would like to use the SnapShot format. Must I save the report before I send it? I tried acFormatSNP with no success. Thanks for all your help.
When I press it a mail is being send with a snapshot attached to it
Instead of a snapshot I want it to attach it as a word document.
Here you see the code that is used. I noticed it says snapshot format on a line but I don't know what the name is for a word document.
Code:Private Sub cmdMail_Click()On Error GoTo Err_cmdMail_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim V_EmailAdres As String If Not (IsNull(Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value)) And Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value <> "" Then V_EmailAdres = Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value Else V_EmailAdres = "" End If stDocName = "TransportOrder" DoCmd.SendObject acReport, stDocName, "Snapshot Format", V_EmailAdres, , , "Transport Order BP", ""Exit_cmdMail_Click: Exit SubErr_cmdMail_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdMail_Click End Sub
Hello, I am using a useful function to save data of a form using the snapshot utility. I open the form, add or change data and sent the form to other users via e-mail. The snapshot uses a report. The code to do this is the following:
Me.Refresh DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "EmailmyForm", "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", "", "", "", "Action Required", "Please take action on the attached case.", False, ""
I was now thinking if it is possible to save the shapshot report as a file directly into a selected folder on my S drive (ex. S0000abmyfolder. I will need that the file is automatically named for my with the SSN present on the form.
Is there a way via code in a module to automatically create a snapshot of a report, save it in a specifed folder location in the code and save it as the current date as the file name when a button is clicked.
I'm looking on how to do this as I have many reports to create, move to an intranet folder and then name it to the current date. It will save me lots of time if this can be done automatically.
I am using MS Access 2000 and the folder location will be on my hard drive.
First off, hello to everyone here. I have been using these forums for a couple of months now and they have helped me solve many, many problems.
I've not needed to register before now because everything I needed to find out I was able to find an answer for, so THANK YOU:)
Anyways, back to business............................
I've built a reporting application where the users basically enter details on a form that performs a few lookups to autofill some info and they input the rest.
What happens next is when they submit the 'form', it appends details to a table and sends an email with the details entered to an address specified by a populated text box on the form
One of 3rd party contractors has requested we send this info in .snp format instead of just referencing the textboxes in the body of the mail.
I have created a duplicate of the form in snapshot but cannot figure out how to do the following:
1. Reference the open form to populate the fields
2. Then attach this to the email
Any help would be greatly appreciated.......as I'm tearing my hair out (and I don't really have much left to tear out anyway)
I'm using the Snapshot Viewer control in one of my forms to display reports within the form. This works fine, except that with multiple page reports, there is no button to change pages, users have to right click and select 'next page.' In design mode the buttons to change pages and print appear at the bottom, but for some reason they don't show up when viewing the form in form view.
Is it possible to email as attachment a FORM in snapshot format? I have a form that gets the results of a query. I'd like to send the data displayed on this form as snapshot format. Possible? Any alternatives? Suggestions? Please help, i've looked high and low.
hi i am using a macro with the outputTo method for a report. i have the report outputed as a snapshot file. it was working fine but now when it outputs the report the extension is missing; the file is created but with no extension. i tried changing the output format to excel but the extension was still missing. i also tried renaming my output report within the macro with the extension .snp and with .xls. snapshot viewer or excel would not open these programs. anybody else come across this problem? any ideas?
Using the access ‘Mail Report’ function, the ‘send’ dialog box comes up to select format… Is there a way to pre-select the snapshot format using code.?
Im trying to display a report in the snapshot viewer object that i placed on a form, the thing is that im having a problem filtering and applying the filter fields that i used to the actual report in the window.
Im having problems referring to the object, can someone help with like the syntax. Im trying to apply the sql statement that is generated to the preview window and the report.
I have been reading all of your post for days now and can't find the answer to my question.
I have however found the answer to one of my programming problems. Thanks to all of you.
I have used Access as a data supplier but this is my first attempt to program in access.
I have absolutly no experience with VB code. And a limited amount of experience with macros in access only.
My question(s) are:
1. I need to send a single report (page) in an email (snapshot format) to a person using a command button. This report should be sent from the form that the person is currently looking at. Currently my command button sends the report in snapshot format but it sends the whole database.
2. This report will be used as a tracking mechanism for another department and I will need a specific name to store the email in a certain location. So that it can be tracked at a later date. I want (that doesn't mean that it can) Access to automatically put the subject line in the email. I know under the sendobject macro you can set the subject line the same for each email. But I need the subject line to match the information in several of my text boxes from a table. For instance: Subject line should read: [Permit number][CountyId][Inspector's Initials][Date]. Can this be done at all and if so how.
Thanks so much for all that you have done already.
I have a database with sensitive data. I dont want users to change the data, so i used a snapshot query. However when i use this query in another query, the result is an updateable query.
Here's my problem. I run a database every monday that has several (more than 15) reports as the outcome. Due to the massive amount of information we can't build the data up every week. We need to overwrite the tables and recreate the "Reports" every week. The department I am creating this for wants to keep a snapshot on the computer of the 15+ reports instead of printing them out. But instead of simply creating a snapshot of each individual report he would like to see them in the format of one file with multiple sheets. The one file would be labeled the date the reports were created and each individual sheet would be labeled the name of the report. For example, This past monday when we rant he Db the file would have been lbld 10-3-05, and one of the many sheets would have been labeled "Selects", or "Rejects" or "Cost" and so on. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have a split database made in Access 2007. Each user gets their own copy of the frontend from a script. I wanted to be able to edit the design view of the backend tables even if people were using the database so I made all the forms use snapshot source and only allowed data updates through VBA macro update queries. Having any form open locks the backend source table from being edited. In fact, I've found that just having a normal snapshot query open causes the message "Either an object bound to table 'whatever' is open or another user has the table open. Do you want to open the table as read-only?"
Is there some way to have a table be the source for a form or query, but still have it designable under most circumstances?
Attempted to late-bind a recordset on form load; result was the same:
Code: Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select redacted as ft from tblRedacted ", dbOpenSnapshot, dbReadOnly) Set Me.Recordset = rs Set rs = Nothing
I have a Form that links to a List Box which pulls from a combined (concatenated?) list. The list it is pulling from appears as follows: SELECT [Rank]+" "+[Last Name]+", "+[First Name] AS Expr1 FROM [T_Personnel Information]; My issue is that the Field in the Form that pulls from the Field in the Table defaults to the first name on the list when left blank, where as I want it to default to a blank value unless I select a name from the list.
