I have a report opening to give detail when a button is clicked - however it will only ever return a maximum of 3 records - however the report window is far to tall - it should only be a third of the hieght it is - is there a way to set the height of the report which opens?
View RepliesI 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 need to have the last page of a report in access print to an 8.5x11 instead of 11x17 (the rest of the report has to print 11x17). No clue how to set it up so it's automatic...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are creating a report and for some reason we can no longer extend the detail section of the report. It has stopped at 2 A4 pages length and won't let us extend it further. We have about 7 pages of the report, I didn't think this was too much?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
I have run across a problem where I have an unbound control on a report that "used to work just fine" until today. It is a concatenated string:
Code:
=[ProgramCity] & "," & (" "+[Programstate]) & (" " & Left([ProgramZip4],5)) & (" "+[ProgramCpsAbbreviations])
I have this on two slightly different reports, where only one line of the report is different. One report works fine, no problems. All the data is there. But on the second report I get the dreaded #Name? error.
So I amended my query and used
Code:
CSZ:[ProgramCity] & "," & (" "+[Programstate]) & (" " & Left([ProgramZip4],5)) & (" "+[ProgramCpsAbbreviations])
And now set the field source as CSZ and it now works fine.
So my question is: Why does the concatenated code not work sometimes in a report but the same code in a query works fine?
Do reports not like concatenated fields?
Just wondering if there is a web browser control or work around for reports?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report and in the footer I have added a text box (Textbox136) to work out the average percentage of the field [Percentage], which works fine.
For the value in textbox136 I want to output a grade and want to use an IIF function in the control source, something like:
IIf([Textbox136]>=100,"A+",IIf([Textbox136]>=90,"A+",IIf([Textbox136]>=80,"A",IIf([Textbox136]>=70,"B",
IIf([Textbox136]>=60,"C",IIf([Textbox136]>=50,"D",IIf([Textbox136]>=40,"E",IIf([Textbox136]>=30,"E-","U"))))))))
But it won't work.
I'm using access 2003
I've successfully printed a report from a main form control and now I'm trying to do the same with a subform control.
I'm using a query to filter the report, with the criteria of:
Code: [forms]![MainForm]![Subform].[form]![textbox]
Is there something I'm missing?
I have a bar pivot chart made in a form this load fine, I have the below VBA code in place to control the bar color depending on what the bar show.
Set frms = Forms![OtherCases created by Indv by Month chart].Form.ChartSpace.Charts(0)
Dim i As Long
With frms
For i = 0 To Forms![OtherCases created by Indv by Month chart].Form.ChartSpace.Charts(0).SeriesCollection.Count - 1
With .SeriesCollection(i).Name
Select Case Forms![OtherCases created by Indv by Month
[code].....
When I then open the Report this is not working at all each bar just get a random color regardless what the bar show.how to convert the above to fit a Pivot chart form a form that is displayed on a report.
I have a report called "orders" and on this is records for orders of the day inputted.
On this report I have a control called "urgent" and a picture called "UrgentPicture" with the picture set to visible.false?
If any of the controls for Urgent is True then this will show my image, but this is not happening?
I am using this in the current event on the report
If Me.Urgent = True Then
Me.UrgentPicture.Visible = True
Else
Me.UrgentPicture.Visible = False
End If
I would like to change the text formatting (color, italics, bold etc) of the contents of a control based on a boolean value in the underlying datasource of the report.
For instance, I have a report that generates a "Proforma Invoice" i would like to ability italicize the prices of certain items based based on a boolean value (EstimatedPrice) in the underlying datasource.
I'm trying to create a simple chart in Access but I can't seem to do it. I can create it very easily in Excel. It's just a simple posting of values that I want to give a report on with every record. I'm including an example of what I would like to do...(but with ACCESS, not Excel)
It's basically a set of scores for students. I remember reading somewhere how someone created a chart using VBA with boxes, and not the charting system in ACCESS but I can't seem to find that again.
Also, I want to be able to report on each student separately. That is, they are doing 6 tests and I want to show how they did on those tests with a simple bar graph.
Is there a way to have an expression in the control source of a text box in a report, that re-starts or is exclusive for every group within the report?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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
My 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.
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.
I created a report from a query and there is many fields therefore it made the report 22" wide. I rearranged the fields with in 8" but in the property field when I put 8 in there it does not change and it goes right back to 22". in print preview there are 6 pages and only 3 with info showing the other 3 are the extra width of the report.

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.
