Hi all,
It's my 1st posting! Need help on how to get Unbound OLE objects (i.e. lines, pics, et.) reflected when publishing my Access report into MS Word. So far, only the data are exported. Appreciate your help.
System Info: Intel Celeron 700MHz, W98SE, MS Access 2002
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?
How do I Pubish a from from access into word using a word template i have created? and not just into a blank word document?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMaybe this shouldnt even be done in a form as simple of a task i need. I have a query of multiple tables andi want to be able to export it to word with only a few of the columns from the query as well as displayings yes/no instead of -1/0. Basically im just trying to make a table in word so i can have all the correct pages headers and such to make our document control people happy.
Is there a way to publish a form to a word document and get the header of each column to appear at the top of each page? I noticed that if i export the form to HTML then copy and paste the table in the html file to word its works but thats a huge pain in the you know what, and the table ends up looking a bit odd in word and no amount of table formatting seems to fix that but thats a different issue.
Thanks
Having experimented with Access for a few months now; I know you can link an Access Database to SharePoint, and you can export Excel files into Access for inclusion in tables.
My question is; If I have a daily report being produced, through script, with an excel output. Is there anyway to automatically publish this in Access, negating the need to manually go into Access to import?
Hi Everyone
Could someone please help!
I am wondering how you can like a pic to a table in Access.
If anyone can tell me that would be great.
Thanks

I have a specific form, paper version, that I'd like to reproduce in an Access report. This form, which has 34 blank lines in the paper version, is used when people need to borrow some Tools or Equipment on a short period of time.
My report is made up in Access, but, if a person signs for, lets say, three different piece of Equipment, once it is sent to the printer, it prints three lines, which are the equipement signed for and it leave a big empty space before it reach the page footer.
What I need is something that will fill that empty space with blank lines. I found the following on the Net which meets my needs up to a point. What I mean is once it print the last line, it keeps on printing the last line until it meets the total count of 34 lines.
Here what I found on the Net: (note that I have a =count(*) into the Group Header)
Option Compare Database 'Use database order for string comparisons
Option Explicit
Global TotCount As Integer
' Call the SetCount() function from the group header section's
' OnPrint property using the syntax: =SetCount(Report)
[Code] ....
I submitted an attach file (blank_lines.gif) to show you what I end up with.
Hi,
just starting out building a database product for mineral collectors and wanted to know what to do went it is complete.
If you want to issue the finished collectors data base as an application to other users do you need a program generator?
I have heard o the Access tollbox, does this do carry out the generation?
Thanks
Is there a way to export a report from Access into Word so that it keeps all its formatting etc. The only option shown is in RTF format.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to insert access report in a word document, for this, I use this code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, "rptName", acFormatRTF, "C:ReportFileName.rtf"
But, when that output word file is empty, don't have any chart that was in access report.
I want to publish my access database on my local pc and was thinking of using something like Dreamweaver to do this. Is this possible? I don't want to put this on the webserver but on my local machine (only a few people will be connecting), and I've read something about a Personal Web Server so this could be done. Does anyone have any ideas / thoughts on the best way to do this? Oh, I want the database / web to be "live" so the tables get updated as they are changed over the web.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have small program in access database which contains about 100 cca tables, querys, forms, macros in total. Customer which both program from me, wants me to enable him to access this program not just from work, it wants to access it from home or when he is on business trip from hotel etc.
I am little confused how to achieve this and what are my options? I assume I have to set by database somewhere on server and so my customer could access it any time? Do I have to upsize access database to SQL express or similar?
Also, one more important question: is it possible to "convert" access database into HTML code or similar so it could be accessed via web browser without need to install microsoft access and with freedom that it can be opened from any type of PC OS (Linux, Mac etc)?
My office recently purchased Microsoft Access for our secretary to keep track of our contacts. No other employee owns Access so we have to distribute the tables through Access Runtime. However, there seems to be a problem.
I save and publish a database using the Packaging Wizard. I then send the associated folder with the install program to a computer which has Access Runtime installed on it. But, when I install the file I created with Packaging Wizard it just opens an Access window that is completely blank. It's actually the same thing that occurs when I try to open an Access file on a computer that doesn't have Access or Runtime installed on it at all.
I have developed a database using Access 2010. This is split into a Front End and a Back End.
In the same folder as the Back End I store a number of user modifiable files in either bitmap (.bmp) or MS Word (.doc to retain compatibility with older versions).
Unfortunately, the drive letter where the back end resides will change from location to location and I can't do anything about that.
I have set up a function that returns the location of the folder where the docs reside irrespective of the back end drive location, and this works perfectly with OLE linked pictures but not with OLE linked Word documents. User changes show correctly in Word document changes at locations with the original drive assignment but other locations show only the original doc contents even though they have been changed on the local back end location. - even if I delete the Source Item info on the report!!
An example of the code I am using for the Source Item is <GetBackEndPath() & "Footer.doc"> without the angled brackets of course, where GetBackEndPath() is a global variable storing the location of the documents folder ending with a back slash.
I have tried the above in the reports Source Doc property but Access won't accept this and says it isn't valid for this property.
Does anyone know how to make a report have lines in it like excel can do when you print out. My boss likes to read this data with lines seperating stuff. Thanks.

In my first steps working with Access I feel unable to find out how can I create a report that shows the data (records from a Clients Table - Name, Phone, e-mail fields-) in a "spreadsheet like" format with gridlines. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks
how I get rid of the lines appearing in a report? I've set everything to transparent but the group header and subsequent records in the subreport all have separating lines.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThe overall goal is to hide a whole line of a report using "canshrink" on a series of boxes, some of which are numbers and some that aren't. Some will be blank when the data is loaded into the form and I want these to make the rest of the form adjust.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
If Me.Label33.Value = "<1" Then
Me.Label34.Caption = "Nothing."
End If
End Sub
I have a form that I'm using as a subform as well as a subreport.
I would like to have dividing lines in the subform, but not the subreport.
Is there any way of doing this other than just creating a duplicate form with a different name?
in my report I have table made from 25 fields (5x5) and they all have the Can Grow Option turned on.
However the lines and boxes separating the fields do not grow with my fields and I get plenty of intersections and over lapping.
Is there a way to make boxes and lines grow with the text box?
I'd read a few places that embedding pics wasnt the greatest of ideas, but I thought that 1 JPG embedded onto 2 forms would be ok and would prevent the pic from being deleted or moved. (Theyre always screwing with the server here.) But it's making my DB huge.
No pics embedded
Size: 808kB
1 Pic Embedded into 2 forms
Pic Size: 156k JPG
DB Size: 135 MB
Is this normal? I could understand a 156k pic adding somewhere around 156k to my DB, but 134 megs? Anyone have any insight?
I have a listbox on a form that fills. It shows the field Keyword.
I use the rowsource to drive a report.
Me.LP1.RowSource = "SELECT TXMASTERS.Barcode, TXCLIPS.NNAME AS Name, TXCLIPS.Comments, " _
& "TXCLIPS.Start AS TimecodeIn, TXCLIPS.Duration, TXMASTERS.SportorSports AS Sport, " _
& "TXCLIPS.StarRating, TXCLIPS.Shot, KEYWORDS.Keyword, TXMASTERS.SeriesName AS Programme, " _
& "TXMASTERS.EpisodeTitle AS Episode, TXMASTERS.Competition" _
& " FROM (TXMASTERS INNER JOIN TXCLIPS ON TXMASTERS.ID1=TXCLIPS.ID1)" _
& " INNER JOIN KEYWORDS ON TXCLIPS.Comments Like '*' & KEYWORDS.Keyword & ' *' " _
& "WHERE TXCLIPS.NName Like '*" & Replace(Me.LNAME11.Caption, "'", "''") & "*' " _
& "ORDER BY 1, TXMASTERS.BARCODE, TXCLIPS.Start"
On the report I have a textbox, with its source set as Keyword. However the box does not get filled.
I call the report from the form with:
DoCmd.OpenReport "COMPETITION", acViewPreview
In the report I have:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
Me.RecordSource = Forms!Newqueryform3!LP1.RowSource
End Sub
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks
i have made a query.. when executed it returns 4 results..when i view the report however (made using the wizard based on that query) only 3 results are displayed..i then add a record to the database... the query returns 5 results.. and again the report only displays 4 results...i believe that the first record entered into the database is missing from the report.. but it is present in the query.. could i have accidentally deleted the first record from the report when i was altering the layout in design view??anyone come across this before?is there a general rule with reports based on queries that only display results with certain criteria or something??

The problem is when the users views a report there is no toolbar for them to print the report. The user can click on file print but they would prefer to see the icons on the toolbar.
I have set the startup to not show the toolbars I have also tried just to show each one individually with no joy.
How do I show the print preview toolbar. I do not want the user to be able to design the report I only want to allow them acccess to print the report or maybe export to word.
Any help I would be greatfull. Thanks PWF
hi,
I have a report that has a header,detail. The header is grouped on last name. Whenever I have names that are the same, two Smiths in a row, for example, I only get the first one. THen, I seem to only get partial information in my detail section. I've fooled around with the grouping properties , but I only make it worse. How do I make the second "Smith" appear? This must've been happening before, but I didn't notice it. Thanks so much.
When I print a report from Access, it prints fine. When a colleague does it to the same printer, it misses out lots of letters. Another colleague does it, and it prints fine. The font is standard (Calibri). My IT dept. say it isn't the printers fault. Is it something wrong with my report ?
