I have a database of 700 or so records each with a image filename (the images are about 75kb). When I make a report from these records including the images it takes a long time, but eventually it creates the report on screen with all the images. However when I try to print the report the images are not there.
Is it just that the spool file or is it a limit in access?
Would adding memory to the printer help?
Thank you for your help
I am creating a large report and I have reached the limit of the report page height at 55cm. Is there a way to change this value to 100cm or more.
It seems rather silly to put a limit on the size of a report.
I am creating barcharts in the report header section but i think there is some size restiction and I am not able to add more than 3 graphs in the report header section. I have to add 65 graphs. Is there any way to do that .

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi - I have searched this board and cannot find anything that has worked. I'm hoping someone can help and maybe I've just missed it somewhere on this board. Here's the thing:
I worked for 3 months on a MDB and got it working the way I needed. I then ran it for the date range I needed and apparently hit a file size limit. I got the "invalid arguement" error and immediately stopped the query and did a "compact and repair". It looked like the compact and repair worked but then the mdb did not come back up as it usually does. I closed Access and tried to re-open the mdb. Nothing happens! No error - no nothing. It just plain will not open. I then tried to compact and repair again but that will not work even when I select it as the mdb to compact and repair. I even tried to open a new, blank mdb and link to the mdb that won't open..no go.
Does anyone have any suggestions on other things to try to get this to open again? Are the tables stored somewhere outside of the mdb that I can delete to make it smaller and open?? I'm grasping here..I know it..but i'm desperate to get this thing to open for me.
any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I am working on something and have to link I think a few thousand tables from a "store bought" database here at work. Is there a limit in regards to access? I know they are just linking but I didnt know if Access gets nutty after a while...
Anyone encounter functionality breakdown due to size or complexity?
Thanks.
One of my tables contains data/records like this: 02092006P1235665
Does anyone know how I would write a query to return only the first 8 characters from these records, not the entire field.
For simplicity lets call the table RECEIPTS and the field RECEIPT_NUMBER
is there any way to increase the size of the text field beyond the 255 character limit? I'm creating an incident report and its diffilcult to summarize an accident in less than 255 characters.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a field in my database (I'm using Access 2007) configured as Attachment under the DataType column on DesignView.
I was expecting to find an option to limit the attachment size (max 250Kb) and more importantly to limit the filetype you can actually upload. In my specific case only jpg should be attached.
hi
i have created a form bringing together 3 queries. one of the queries contains images the other 2 queries are text/data information.
i am now creating a report to print out the queries. each query is made into a report and then combined with a main report [2 of the queries are subreports]. the code i have used to link the images so that i get a unique image with every record is
me.[cempic2].picture = me![combined_mage_path]
however when i print the report if the record contains more then 1 image i get the following [screenshot 2].
what i need to do is to limit the image print out for each record to the first image only. the only common naming criteria for all my images is 001.jpg, 002. jpg and so on
what i need to do is to show only the image for each record that ends with the criteria *001.jpg. how would i do this in VB?
thanks
I have a report that is generating a few pages, but I am only interested in the first page only. I have tried adding in code to cancel everything after the first page, but this just gives me a blank second page:
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Cancel = Me.Page > 1
End Sub
Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Cancel = Me.Page > 1
End Sub
Private Sub PageHeaderSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Cancel = Me.Page > 1
End Sub
I am outputting this report to PDF, and it is very annoying to have a blank page.
Is there a way to force the report to only be one page in length.
In my table, I have a field for "notes" and have it set to long text. It works just fine and has all the text visible. When I create a report or a form from this table, it truncates the text in that field. It limits to the 254 characters of old. I am not sure how to fix this. I have tried setting the WillGrow to yes and it still does not work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Access 2010 application has many reports. On almost every report, the user can select a new paper size. This paper size is remembered, so the next time the user selects the same report, he no longer have to set the paper size (I guess this is the default behavior for Access programs).One report does not behave properly. This report is a LEGAL size report. EVERY times the user selects this report, it prints on LETTER size, so the form is split in two pages. If the user selects teh LEGAL size paper, it works, but the next time the report defaults back to LETTER size paper.
I checked everywhere in the code, nowhere the paper size is set. In development, I selected the report, I changed the paper size to LEGAL, I ran the report. The next time I check the paper size of the report, it is back as LETTER size.After my OpenReport statement, I tried manally setting the paper size with "Reports(xxx).Printer.PaperSize = acPRPSLegal" but my report still defaults to LETTER size paper.
what is the best way and good practice in limiting user's access in form or report.For example, i have 2 users in my UserTable, one is Administrator and the other is just ordinary user.In case i want the ordinary user to open the form in "Read Only" mode, and the Administrator in "Edit" mode.
Do I need to make a code for each form to be opened or there's another easy way to handle this? (I am thinking for additional fields in UserTable to store their individual rights, but after that i don't know what to do next)
hi
very simply i am trying to print out a report that is comprised of 1 main report and 2 subreports with 1 image per page; all together on 1 page. i can print out 20 records maximum before my computer memory [or the printer memory] becomes full and the printing stops. the same happens if i try to do a snapshot.
what i need is some vb coding so that if my report is over 20 records long, the vb coding will print-out [or snapshot] the first 10 records, finish those records, then carry on with the next 10, and so on untill all the records have been printed.
is this possible??
any help appreciated
thanks
I've asked this question in different forums before, and though some people say it can be done, I have not found anyone who is successful yet.
I have a report that puts down a person's address, however the address information is stored within the database in separate fields ('Address', 'City', 'State', 'ZIP'). The issue I have is with the City/State/ZIP. Some city names are longer than others, is it possible to have the fields adapt to the different word lengths.
Say the address is, Albany, NY 10023. The database would output this alright, but then if the city name is San Francisco, CA 94143, the fields are in disarray.
I have the same issue with names. Last name and first name are stored separately. I would like to display Last, First. My workaround has been to right-align the Last name, and put it adjacent to the left-aligned first name field. This works unless the person's last name is very long, disporportionately from the first name, in which case, it looks very much off center in the overall report.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
I really need help with this. I have a database that is quite large and is accessed through VPN. When I shrink and compact the database it goes to a respectable size. But over time everytime a report is previewed the size of the database grows. Or every access it grows to double its size in no time at all.
Any ideas... on what would make it grow and how to stop it.
Thanks it is appreciated.
I have now a report that span around 2 pages. It has subreports in the report that depening how many rows there are they can grow or shrink.I have the problem that the second page the top margin is to close to the top of the pager. The paper has a logo on the right top side. I can make the first page look nice under the logo, but the second page prints to close to the edge that prints over the logo. I did add a page break, but when the page 1 has more data, it flushes this to the next page. The page 2 is now page 3. How can I avoid that, or make it so that the margin of the second page/next page is on the correct lenght of the top. I tried it with the page setup, but it does not work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form which gets information from the user and upon pressing a button I produce address labels for the user. The form calls a report which does the job. This works. Now the user would like to have parameters like fonttype, fontsize and fontcolour together with margins, row and column space so that the output can be better tailored to his needs. I have inserted combo boxes on the form to get these parameters from the user, but how am I going to insert these parameters in the report layout through programming. What should be the approach?

I have always noticed that when creating a report, when you make a paragraph using a label, the alignment and size of the text/paragraph is always different when you preview the report than when you design it.
This makes alignment of paragraphs tricky, especially when you are trying to insert a bold faced word into the middle of a block of text by using a separate label.
