Sub Report Changes Values When Placed In Main Report
Aug 28, 2014
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?
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'.
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
I have a report in which a textbox generates numerical values and letter values. I want to...On report load - if textbox = numbers then hide otherwise show if it contains letter values.
Below is the working version of the code works for single report filtering. say a report called "rptduedate_census2" and i can filter out using form instead of hard coding query of that report (say lastname=form!frmsample!txtlastname). I dont want to hard code query and there are reasons for that.
I am using a Main report called "rptDueDates_Dept' and there are about 10 different subreports (see print screen). The main report is not bound to any query. It has many subereport. Each subreport is bound to some query and i need to be able to filter them before data appear on the main report. Am i making any sense, LOL.
How can I implement my working code below to do this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP. I AM NEW TO ALL THIS. I have attached a print screen of the main report, just to show how i put subreports in their.
===== MY WORKING CODE ====== Private Sub cmdPrv_Click() Dim strFilter As String
strFilter = "[Mail_Census_Date] BETWEEN #" & txtStartDate & " # AND # " & txtEndDate & " # "
' Apply the filter and switch it on
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acReport, "Report") <> acObjStateOpen Then DoCmd.OpenReport "rptduedate_census2", acViewPreview With Reports![rptduedate_census2] .Filter = strFilter .FilterOn = True End With DoCmd.Restore Exit Sub End If
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.
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.
I am trying to get my totals from my subreports, and dividing the number by 2 or 4, and put the new number on the main report.
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 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 button on my main form that allows me to view one of my reports. In order to view the report I have to close my main form. My problem is how do I reopen my main form when I close the report that I have viewed? Some code that would reopen my main form when clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner of the report to close it?
I 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.
I have a main report with 2 subreports. My main report has a header section, the 2 subreports are in the detail section of my main report. How can i prevent my report from splitting up my header and my subreports. (Header section of my main report is a company and the subreports are the detail of the company.. i don't want my compnay name on the bottom of a page and then the detail on the next page.. it does this sometimes. thanks!
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):
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?
I have VBA code for a Print Preview button on the main form that previews the current record in a separate Report using this code:
Code: Private Sub cmdPrintRecord_Click() Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits. Me.Dirty = False End If
[code]....
I use this Print Preview code on a Button in the Form Header. The Main form lists head of household information. I also have a tabbed control with three tabs that have SubForms for Address, Children and Contact details. The problem I have is that if any of the subforms are left blank I get a Run-Time Error '3021': No Current Record. If I Debug (press the button), it takes me straight to this line:
highlighted in Yellow.Anyone on my database must have an address, should have contact details and could have children. If any one of these is blank then the print preview will not work.I would like to know how to stop this error happening for blank records in my subforms.
Just wondering if anybody could help me on this. I have encountered a problem in producing a report based on my main form (recordsource: tblStudents) and subform (recordsource:tblStudentsClasses), which are joined through their respective StudentID fields. My problem pertains to the fact that I just couldn’t seem to find a way to make my report produce a calculated value using an unbound control. I need it to show the average grade a student gets every semester by multiplying his individual class grades against its corresponding credit units and then add them together, and divide them against the sum total of that particular semester’s credit units. For example, a grade of 1.0 for psychology 101 multiplied by that subject’s 3 credit units + a grade of 2.0 for chemistry 101 multiplied by that subject’s 5 credit units and then divided by the sum total of those two subject’s credit units of 8.
I kinda find it complicated because each semester is made up of between 1 to 10 classes, so it would be inappropriate to just put the one average computation on a footer since each semester has to have an average grade of its own. Tried lots of procedure already and couldnt make anyone of them work. Another fact is that a credit unit of –3 and grade of 5.0 shouldn’t be included in the computation at all. And some of my data are supplied by combo boxes in the subform – cboCreditUnits and cboGrades (rowsources: tblClasses and tblGrades). How should I go about this all? Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
I need to create record totals and grand totals on a report where I count up the # of Yes's and No's across 10 fields. I've already created calculated text boxes that come up with the record totals. What I can't figure out for the life of me is how to create a text box calculating the grand total based on the previous calculated fields I created. It seems that access isn't letting me sum a field I created on the report. Do I have to create a query first? Thanks.
I have two issues with the report generation from a query:
(i) Sometimes blank values appear in the report in the serial number column generated dynamically (setting the control source property =1 and running sum = overall), but when clicked inside the particular box, the correct serial number appears
(ii) When grouped on a field, the particular field value appears sometimes more than once in the report inside the same group.
I have a report that is returning percentages based upon other calculated fields. Some of the percentage fields are showing #Num on the report. I've found this is due to one of the calculated values being zero.
I'm having problems with a count expression in a report. I have a series of items listed, with subdata against each one, in some cases this subdata is one rows, in others it is many rows.
Anyways, having listed these items and there subdata sets, I want a count of the number of items listed.
Unfortunately, a count on Equipment ID returns the total number of sub data items listed, as for each sub data item, the Equipment ID is associated. Is there a way of making the COUNT expression count exclusive values?
