Visual Basic :: Create A Report In Access Backend Then Export It To Word Or PDF

Using ADO With Access To Create Word Report, Getting Duplicate Records
I'm creating a temporary table in Access 2000 from several other tables so that I can update some derived fields. The table looks fine in Access.

When I open it as a new recordset I can loop through it in VB, but when I use ".ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter strLine" to print in Word 2000 it prints duplicate lines in no particular order.

It should have about 50-100 records, but ends up being 34 pages in Word.

I'm fairly new at this but have 5 other reports that use EXISTING tables from the same database and they work fine.

I'm thinking it has to do with creating a table without a key field or index. But it may be a VBA related problem (or maybe Access).

Does anyone know why a new table would cause this symptom?

How To Export Crystal Report To Word
Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to export the output of a Crystal Report to a Word document using VB code? I know how to do it in the Crystal Report interface but don't know the command for exporting to Word document in VB6.

The reason for this is that I need to send the output via email to the customers and I assume they will have Word installed in their PCs.

I am using CR9.

Thanks.

Export Crystal Report To RTF Or Word
Actually I have a system which is written in VB6 which has the viewer to view the reports. However, when I tried to export the report into either RTF or Word format, the page numbering seemed to be distorted.
eg. The page numbering is Page N or Total of Pages
When viewing the report, it displays correctly, Page 1 of 2, Page 2 of 2
But when I exported it out and opened it again the page numbering becomes Page -1 of 1 on every page even though its supposed to be Page 1 of 2, Page 2 of 2 & etc.
Also, I found out, not all the pcs have this problem. I suspected that it depends on the version Microsoft Office which is used. Appreciate any feedback! Thanks in advance!

Access Export To Word Document
I am trying to export the contents of an Access database to a MS Word document. In the database there are fields that hold just text and there are other fields that hold contents for a table. I can get the contents to export for the plain text and can create a table and export to that.

My problem is that I need it to go back to regular text after the table is complete. How do I tell it to release the table? Everytime it reads the next text line, it just puts the text in the row 1, column 1 field. I need it to get out of the table and move on down the page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Export Access Report To Excel
Goodday Experts

I need to automate the process of exporting the data in an Access report into Excel. I initialy thought of writing a macro, however when I opened the VBA window it said "Project locked: Project Unviewable". This is a project that someone(no longer works for the company) else worked on and I just need to modify it to carry out the above mentioned process.

I am currently using version 2000 of Access and the program was writen in a previous version. However when I try to convert it, the convert menu is disabled.

Is there another way of going about this? I would appreciate any help.

Hi I need to export a fully formatted report from Access to excel using only Access and VBA.

Access Report Export To Excel Issue
Hello!
I got a problem when exporting a report from access to excel.
This report gets data from a very simple query (SELECT * FROM Table), and it got a very simple layout

- Page header:
Contains some static descriptions
- Details:
Some Textboxes on a single line bound to fields from the query.
Some other Textboxes showing the result of formulas.
- Page Footer:
Just a page number and a print date field.
- Report Footer
Some Textboxes showing the SUM() of the fields in the details section.

Now, surprise.
I can export to excel with DoCmd.OutputTo perfectly.

The second step involves the creation of formulas in the report footer section.
In details section I have fields like "=A/B".
In the footer I have fields like "=SUM(A)/SUM(B)".
When I preview the report I get both type of field working.
But in the EXCEL file I can't see the second type.
I tryed some solutions but I still can't see that kind of formula.

Thanx

Crystal Report Export To ODBC Access Problem
I have Access97 and was doing an export in my Crystal 7.0 report and received an error. My error says:

Failed to export the report.
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Field 'GF1_' already exists in table [CREXPORT].

In my case, all my data is in the Group Footer 1. My Page header contains all the titles, but just as text objects. The Details section is hidden - only the Group Footer 1 is displayed. I have gotten rid of any duplicate field names. It seems the program is exporting all names as 'GF1_' though. Therefore, what change do you think I can make to eliminate this error?

Thanks for any help...

Failed To Export The Report, Error In MS Excel Export Format DLL
Hi,

I have a little problem with Crystal Reports (CR 8) :

I try to export one of my reports from a VB program. When I try to export it in "Comma Separated Values" format everything is ok (except this is not the format I need
). When I try to export it in excel format it works, on some PCs but not on others ?

VB code sample :

rpt.ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTExcel80Tabular
rpt.ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
rpt.ExportOptions.UseReportDateFormat = True
rpt.ExportOptions.UseReportNumberFormat = True
rpt.ExportOptions.DiskFileName = txtExportDirectory.Text & ExportName
rpt.Export False

I tried all the excel formats (crEFTExcel50, crEFTExcel50Tabular, crEFTExcel70 ...) but on some PC's I always get the "Exporting Records" window for a second and then the error "Failed to export the report, Error in MS Excel Export Format DLL".

Can anyone help me out ?
Thanks !

VB With MS Access Backend
Can anyone please point me somewhere, anyone with a bit more experience can easily handle this. I am trying to write a program in VB with a MS Access Database. Basically her is the scenario. My company is a BIG Insurance company, and I have other (small) insurance company’s under me, and they have clients that want to pay them with post dated checks, now I being the big company want to buy those post dated checks and give the small company a % of the total and I will cash the postdated checks from the small companies clients when the dates come up. Can someone please help me and I can send what I have or something like that. I really need some help, they expect me to do it all by myself, which I’m not good enough unless I have another partners incite. I’m ALMOST begging

Using Access As A Backend
I have a VB project that uses Access as the backend. I know that there are issues when multiple users try to write to the same database at the same time (Is it when they write to the same database, or the same table within a database?). To work around this problem I installed client copies of the database, which have links to the server tables. However, I am getting a huge slowdown doing it this way. Tasks that should only take a couple of seconds are now taking a couple of minutes.

There are only a couple of tasks that actually write to the database. I am thinking of getting rid of the client databases and making the application connect to the server database directly. I could use a 'tag' to see if an import task is running on a table. Then if someone tried to import to a table that was already in use, they would get a message that they would have to wait until the first task is complete.

Does this sound like a good idea? Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on what I should do (Besides switch to a SQL server)? If I have multiple users reading the database simultaneously, (which the app will mainly do), will I have a problem?

Any help would be appreciated. Here are some specs:
*Access 97
*WinNT 4.0 Workstation

Thanks,

Mike

ADO VB 6.0 / Access Backend DB
Scenario: I am using a DataGrid control, with an ado Data Control as the record source. The database autogenerates the primary (system generated). I set the properties of the datagrid to
dgrd.AllowAddNew = True
dgrd.AllowDelete = False
dgrd.AllowUpdate = False
What has to be done to be able to allow users to add data. What I want them to do is to click a command button and be placed on the new row of the data grid where they can add data. I want to be able to update the database only when the datagrid tries to send the update to the database. What is happening is that the cursor gets placed onto the correct line but the user can edit nothing.
However, I can let the user update (modify an existing record and update) the database. The settings in that scenario are:
dgrd.AllowAddNew = False
dgrd.AllowDelete = False
dgrd.AllowUpdate = True

I anyone knows of a snippet of code that I can look at or any such location, please give me a heads up. Its urgent.....

Thanks

Integrating Visual Basic 6 With Word 2000 To Create A Report
Hey there,

I completed my Visual Basic Project (using Access 2000 as the backend) a few days ago, except the reports. I'm trying to use Word 2000 to view specific data.

I have created Word Templates with the required Bookmarks. But other than that I am puzzled as to how I am going to solve this problem.

I've created a form that has an OLE object attached to it. The template has been assigned to it (SourceDoc in the properties).

I have a few snippets of code that will transfer this data, but they are not clear enough. Not very good detail.

Can you help me?

VB.net Frontend...Access Backend
Please help...

Senario....
Access database storing member details and other related information, around 12 tables.
VB.net frontend for GUI. All data in access is linked to vb.net, and am able to search tables for information, all is running beautifully.
This is working on a stand alone main PC. 3 other stand alone pc's also have program installed on it. Due to being 'stand alone' hence updated information from one pc to another requires importing and exporting from main PC. We want to minimised the size of data to be impoted and exported. can be up to 50 members in system all with individual information.

Problem is how can I successfully export information that has only been updated/entered that particular day (it prompts when closing program) on main PC. Or does all information in the database have to be exported from main PC.
Secondly...to import onto other 3 stand alone pc's it needs to check current data in system and update what is neccessary.

VB6 System - Access Backend To Internet?
Hi,

I am looking for some general information on converting / redesigning a system that is currently coded in VB6 with an access database backend to the web. Does anyone have any resource links on this topic as in best practices to use and to decide what to program in or database to use (php & mysql) the system is fairly straight forward and has to access data and store data / generate reports in excel or graphs. Let me know if any other vital information is needed.

Thanks,

Multi User App Access DB Backend ???
Wassup guys. If I had an app that was going to have about 15 workstations and single semi server machine with the Access DB on it, will they be able to all connect to the database with out having locking problems and other rubbish. Example : for a Retail POS system ::-- Two Clients both simultaneously selling a coke when they both press the complete key to store the sale the qty of stock must obviously be subtracted. But if the first guy has obviously locked that field the other will crash and die when trying to access it ?? Do I need to write some sort of middle tier app that handles there requests or something ??

Its kinda of set up right now where they each have a local DB that stores there sales and only when they Log off the system does it actually remove the stock qty. This is obviously safe because each guy logs off there till at different times. This sucks a bit though as there is no realtime stock control.

I was thinking of writing some sort of server app that handles all the requests basically for info from the DB but not a 100% sure how to do this ?? Maybe with Winsock or something

Thanks

Developing Vb 6 App For Terminal Server With Ms Access Backend
I am developing a visual basic 6 application with Ms access application as a back end database.
for a test i put the application on the remote admin desktom and make available the exe of the app to different users, so that they can access it at the same time. but only the first user can run the application successfully and retrieve data and if another user try to run the same exe from its own desktop he/she get a messege "file already opened".
i thought if i put the application on the remote admin and made available its exe to every one will work.but no its not. i used a single connection procedure for the app, which is executed in the form load event, which failed. i used indivisual connection for all vb forms which also failed. i put copies of application for different user but get the same mess. i am really stucked.

plz give me the proper steps for developing this application so that multiuser can access this application at the same time. also i didnot install vb on the server yet and install vb run time files so that i can run the exe only.However Ms access is properly install.

thanks

Create A Report In Access Backend Then Export It To Word Or PDF

i would like to create reports within my access db backend, then when a user wishes to view, or print the report, it is created "silently" so the user does not see the access report, but instead is given a Word.doc report or a PDF report. is this possible and if so how would i achieve it?
