must i install a printer in order for me to change my report to landscape?.. This doesn't sound right to me.. currently my report is set to portrait and when i go to page setup (menu option) i receive a msg saying i must install a printer first.. is this the only place where i can set my report to landscape?.. is there a property i've overlooked?.. thanks!
View RepliesHi,
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 an existing report generated in Access 2007 that is currently in Portrait mode and I want to reformat the data so that it fits into Landscape mode.
The report consists of a main report and 2 subrports.
I have managed to do the majority of the reformatting to both the main and subreports except that I can't figure out how to change the layout of the actual data that is displayed.
What I'm talking about is the "slider" control (if this is what you call it) that is displayed on on the main report.
I have attached a few screen shots ....
Is it possible to have part of a report set to portrait, but another part set to landscape? Like you can in Word by adding section breaks and setting the page layout separately for each section?
I have a "MainReport" comprised of 5 sub reports which are all portrait. Now I've been asked to add a 6th section and it will need to be landscape. I tried and tried to get it all on a portrait page but it's just too cramped.
I could keep them as two reports and have the command button simply run the second one at the same time. The thing is, that button "prints" the main report to a PDF file and emails it. And I don't want the new report to be in a separate PDF.
If you can't have separate sections, then is there any way to print separate Access reports into a single PDF? I'm using CutePDF but would be open to trying a different PDF printer if appropriate.
I have a landscape oriented report which is A4 size. When I select Landscape in print preview the result is cut off on the right. In the form's design mode I get a little green triangle on the top-left which tells me that the form is wider than the page size. Is this because I am using a default printer with a portrait setting?
I want to avoid having to change the default printer for each different form orientation. I am printing to a pdf printer (pdfCreator which doesn't appear to have a landscape output setting) while testing my design so as not to waste ink & paper.
I am using Windows XP SP3 with Access 2007.
how do i format a chart into landscape view. My charts always format to portrait view, but my data is in the chart as landscape, so i loose information. I cant figure out a way to get access to make my chart in landscape view.

Hi,
Is there any way to change orientation of report in report footer? I mean, I want to produce report header, detail etc in landscape and after detail I have given page break, at last page only report footer should be in portrait.

I have a report with subreports contained in it. Each subreport gets it's data from a different table.
I noticed subreport 1,2,3,4 are pulling the data from their corresponding tables. However, subreport 5,6, and 7 are pulling their data from the table relating to subreport 1.
I've checked the subreports themselves. They are referencing their own tables if I open them individually but not when opening the main report.
The report names all seem to be correct.
I've never seen anything like this before. Does anyone have some ideas??
Thanks.
OK. I have a report that I want to use as a master and use with about 4 different querys. In the report properties I've bound it to a query. I've tried for ages to change the record sources with on click command bottons on another form. I think things have become complicated because there's a subreport on the report I AND a there's bunch of code to make things invisible in the on page event of the report.
anyway, here's what I'm using:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_master", acViewPreview
Me.RecordSource = "qry_rptPrintRollClass"
Is this the right way to do it??
Any ideas on how I can clean it up??
Thanks

Hi all,
Does anyone know how I can, as stated, change a report's query dependency? I copy and pasted several reports and want to make macro buttons to access the reports and put them on a form. However I want each button to point to a different query, which in turn point to different reports.
When I copy and pasted the reports, I go into "Objects that I depend on" and I can't change the query it points to! Help!

I have designed a report that took ages to do the layout etc for.
Now I just want to use that as a template and just alter which query it gets its parameters from.
I can't for the life of me figure this one out
Any help would be very much appreciated
I have a form with command button, when clicked it displays My report in Preview. I want to change the report title whenever i click a button from the form. I believe it is to do with VBA and am new in that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm trying to do is make it so that a certain area of my Detail area in my report changes colors based on whether or not a field name for each record is set to "Yes". The effect I wanted was produced easily enough by creating a Rectangle, coloring it Red, and setting it to not visible.
Putting RedBox.Visible = True in the Report On Load procedure works just fine. The problem I am having is attaching a condition to it.
Code:
If Me.FormatBox.Value = "Yes" Then
RedBox.Visible = True
End If
This compiles ok, but doesnt do anything to the actual report. Will it not work because the report has x amount of FormatBox's because it gets replicated for each record that is displayed? I should also note that I tried using a DL Lookup within my If statement and that didnt work either. That just colors all the boxes red and ignores the check.
Code:
Dim TestVar As String
TestVar = DLookup("Priority", "Table_Lancaster_Dispatch", "Priority = 'Yes'")
If TestVar = "Yes" Then
RedBox.Visible = True
End If

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have built a database with only my department in mind that tracks three types of documents; Which works fine. Now some of my fellow department heads desire to use what I have built.
This is not a problem as their data structure is the same. The difficulty lies in changing the 30 queries. In the queries I hard coded my department number in the receiver (department field) criteria.
Additionally, my HQ is requesting me to perform some analysis on the other department's data. So other than manually changing the department number each time; Can I use a form or report to modify these 30 queries? I attempted to use a combo box but it would not hold the value when I closed the form.
I saw this thread today, http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=102036 , but am not sure it will do what I want.
Suggestions welcomed.

Is there some way to do this?
I'm getting seriously frustrated with Access now so I hope some of you can help me out.
I have made an access application to enter various types of products (eg paint, tools, glue etc).
The organization I have built this for has asked me to create a report which can be used as
a catalogue of all their products.
They want this report to keep different categories of products in different sections. So say the paints
will go into a section with an orange background and the tools have a blue background. I thought
I could just let it print a number of reports (one for each type of product) however this will give
problems with the page numbering and indexes etc.
Anyone have any ideas how I can let the lay-out (mainly colors) change if a new category kicks in and also
force this category to start on a new page? Any help is very much appreciated!

My workstation has a default printer that only prints A4, but I have an Access 2007 file with reports that require A3.
When I open these reports they see the A4 'default' printer.
If I try to change to the A3 printer in the report page setup (in design or print preview mode) it doesn't change - it keeps the default 'A4' and/or Access crashes.
If I change my workstation default printer to
The A3 printer and then open the Access file & report it works Ok (it picks up the A3 printer as default).
Can I use VBA to set the default printer and page setup to A3 when the report opens?
Objective to have a report generated from a query (Based on a Storage Table) in the record-source however need to make adjustments to each record based on the query output ie User Id is outputted as number as it needs to be for everything else but on the report loading needs to run an sql query on that ID number to get the name and then replace that value with the name and so on for each record and each appropriate column
Problem:I can either change All of the records outputted with the first records info or nothing at all. i need this process to occur individually on each outputted record
I have a report that constists of 4 subreports.I need the first two subreports to render in a two-column format and the 3. and 4. in a single column format.Unfortunatelly I cannot it work as I need to.I have read, that setting the main report in a single-column format and the subreports in a two-column format with "first across then down" setting (Or something like that) is and option.
Unfortunately this option does not fit my requirements.Is there a possibility to set the number of columns through VBA and change it across the different parts of the report?
In MsAccess 2007,I want each row color to change based on a column value in the report.
For example: Select Name,Age,Salary from table 1 -creates 3 rows.
Name Age Salary

B 25 2000
c 35 3000
if Salary column is less than 1001,row should be in red- Row 1
if Salary column is less than 2001,row should be in green -Row2
if salary is less than 3001, row should be orange-Row3 .
