Some Vertical Decorations In Access Report
Nov 29, 2004
How are you lot doing.
Anyways this at first seemed not to be too hard however has become a bit of an issue.
I would like to have a vertical block with the color green in my report. This block should be
as long as the page itself, however I cannot get it to cover the whole page as it will stop when
the report runs out of data. Does anyone know a 'trick' that would force this box to be as big as
one page, without making the details section this large by default (I dont want only 1 record on a
page).
Cheers,
Thomas

Not sure if this is possible but I have a few text boxes on a report set to vertical yes under properties. They print fine, but on the pre-printed forms I'm using they print upside down. Is there a way to realign they way the text prints when using the vertical yes setting? I really need they text to be inverted. I'm I asking an impossible question? Thanks..

Background:
I have a database with one main table that contains info on a variety of organizations and the services they offer. Another table lists regions these organizations are located in. The services they offer are listed in 11 different categories, each with its own field in the main database.
The end product of the project will be several reports. In particular, I need one report that lists by zipcode, each organization, its contact info, and any details about its services. The data for each organization will appear on several lines, as shown below:
---------------
Org name Region
Address Driving Directions
Contact Name
Phone
Comments
Food bank: details of hours, etc.
Hot meals: details.... [any services not offered does not appear or take up any vertical space]
---------------
The problem:
Since the reports will be printed and put into booklets, we need to eliminate any blank lines caused by empty fields. In many cases an organization will only have one or two categories, so the other 9 or 10 lines would be blank and take up too much space on the page.
What I've tried:
First I tried creating SubReports so I could use VBA scripts on the On Print event on the Detail section to make the SubReport invisble if it didn't have any data (HasData is false). That did make the SubReport not print, but it still took vertical space.
I struggled with various combinations of Can Grow and Can Shrink, but kept having problems with multiple lines appearing where there should hav been one line, and sometimes they were blank lines (especially if I didn't allow duplicates and there were several entries exactly the same). Whenever I got that undercontrol, the fields with no data took up space. Frankly, I'm not convinced I ever got them to NOT take up vertical space. (Maybe I didn't get it right. I'm open to trying again.)
Then I tried concatenating fields onto one TextBox, like this: Code:=("Food Purchase: "+[Food Purchase]+Chr(13)+Chr(10)+Chr(13)+Chr(10)) & ("Utilities: "+[Utilities]+Chr(13)+Chr(10)+Chr(13)+Chr(10)) & ("To Prevent Eviction: "+[To Prevent Eviction]) That works, but it seems like an ugly hack. The Chr(10)+Chr(13) create new lines. The + instead of the & makes it so that if any of the elements inside the parentheses are null, none of them print. So I can eliminate both the label and the new line, too.
Isn't there a better way to eliminate the vertical space when there's no data?

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 work for a Local Council and trying to streamline the DA process a bit by using Access. I have two tables.
tbl_Conditions which has ConditionID(PKey) and ConditionDescription Fields.
tbl_DA has the field DA (PKey) followed by numerous conditions for simplification let's assume I have only five conditions each with there own field. SC363, SC449, SC106, S105, SC32.
For each DA in tbl_DA I go through and if condition SC363 applies I input SC363 if it does not apply I input NO. This is repeated for other conditions.
Everything above this point I have working like a charm. However from here on in I am seriously struggling been stuck for two days with no success!!
I would then like to create a new table ready for merging into word. The table would be the following
tbl_DAMerge would have fields DA (Pkey), SC1ConditionDescription, SC2ConditionDescription....., SC5ConditionDescription.
The condition descriptions would be coming from tbl_Conditions the description would only be inputted if the condition applied otherwise it would be left blank.
I have tried Dlookup, and update queries with multiple joins but it always comes back doing something random.

How would I go about getting vertical lines as column seperators down the entire page. The problem I run into is every time the row size changes there's a break in the column dividers. Someone suggested using a function in the On Print event for the report, but there is no OnPrint field in the event tab of the reports properties. If anyone ever did anything like this before, please let me know.

Due to limited space in my Report Heading, I am trying to vertically label columns. I figured out in the Properties section of the label that I can turn on Vertical Label. However, when I view it on the report, the label, which is now vertical is turned to the left vs the right. How do I flip it? In addition, is there a way to rotate the text to a 45% angle.
Thank you.

I have a text label that I would like to have vertical instead of horizontal. In the properties box, I go to the other tab and set 'Vertical' to yes and the text rotates. Except it rotates 90 degrees clockwise. (The text starts at the upper right corner and reads down, you have to tilt your head to the right to read it.) This seems the wrong direction to me and to my office mate - all the tables we've seen with vertical text has the text rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise (text starting from the lower left corner and reads up, you have to tilt you head to the left to read it.)
Is there any way I can make the text rotate counterclockwise instead of clockwise? I really don't want to create many little graphics.
Thanks

Hi there, I got a little data transformation problem:
I have got a source table:
ID 1 2 3
1 x y z
2 xx yy zz
That I wanna transform to the following format:
ID ID2 Comment
1 1 x
1 2 y
1 3 z
2 1 xx
etc...
The problem is, that I need a routine that takes the column names of table 1 and uses them as values in table 2. So basically, every column of table 1 (1,2,3, etc.) should become a new data record in table 2.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks!
Steve

I have groups that run horizontally down my report. Is there a way to group items vertically on the report based on the horizontal information.
For instance I have a client list with the total of the transactions they made. Then I would like to run in the same row the breakdown per quarter showing all 4 quarters in the same row as the client name, but separated into columns for each quarter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you!

I'm having a vertical scroll issue thats very strange. Most of the time I can scroll vertically fine, but every now and then it locks up and wont let me scroll down, especially with the mouse wheel. A couple of the engineers have had even weirder symptoms where they cant even scroll down using the arrow keys on the keyboard.

I have a very simple database with one big table and a series of forms to walk researchers through data extraction from scholarly articles. Each researcher has a copy of the database and I export their info and merge it in a master file. One of my new researchers has just started and come across a problem I've never seen before. On her third record, access suddenly started replacing characters typed in (or selected from drop-down boxes) to the form fields with bold vertical lines, like this: ||||||On the table, they look like empty boxes instead of vertical lines. What she says happened was:-She was entering data into one of the forms (say form 4 of 7 - there are macros to open the new form when you finish the one you've been doing, but they only all close at the end of all 7 forms)-She saved-She looked at a PDF document on the same computer-She switched back to the database and several (but not all) of the characters on the form were replaced with the vertical lines. When she looked further, some fields on other forms (but not all the other forms) also had these vertical lines. Finally, one field had replaced the characters she'd typed not with vertical lines, but with some characters from another field. Is her copy of the db just corrupted? Is this some known bug? Can we avoid this? Thanks for any insight or referral.

I am fairly new to developing with Access.
I would really value some advice on changing text direction in crosstab query column labels.
I have just created a crosstab query to function as a training matrix. It has rather long column labels (there are good practical reasons for this), which makes the query very wide and difficult to print one one page.
Is there a way to change the text direction of the column headings so they are printed running up the page?
I know how to change text direction in Word or Excel, but not Access.
At the moment I am copying the query results into Excel and manipulating the text direction in Excel, but this is rather cumbersome.
Thanks in anticipation of any help. :cool:

Is there a way to change the vertical scroll bar position to always be at the top when I move from form to form. Right now, it will start at the top, but when I move to a different form and back, the vertical scroll bar is positioned in the center. I turned off the autocenter property of the form and saved it in the desired position, but that doesn't work. My form is maximized when it opens. I would greatly appreciate some help. This has been an annoyance for quite some time now.

I have a main form with a subreport.
Mainform width is 22"(Maximum)
Subreport Wdth is also 22" (Maximum)
When i run the mainform, the subreport shows correctly but the vertical scrollbar is at most right side of main form so i have to scroll main form horizontally first to access the vertical scroll bar of subreport.
To solve, changing subreport orientation to right-to-left shows vertical scroll bar at most left but still if i scroll horizontally on mainform, that scrollbar hides as its not freezed.
Consider ActiveX Control of Microsoft ScrollBars 2.0 .....
