I've created a report which i'm exporting to PDF,but when I open the PDF I can see that some characters are replaced by a question-mark in a box.
for example : RMA Number: 5002408...here the empty characters after number and the : are replaced by a questionmark in a box...if I export to other programs i don't have this problem..
I'm trying to export either a report or a query to excel with a field name that has special characters "()". I wouldn't normally ever do this (everyone knows not to use special characters) but we're using this to import the excel document to a website, and the field name MUST be what they specified in order for the import to be successful. Is there any way to rename the field name at export, since I can't use special characters on the query or report itself?
The field name is currently DepType, but it must be
"
*Dependent Type
Spouse/Partner or Child/Dependent
(Required for Dependents only)
"
EXACTLY or it will not import.
Hello all. Have a bit of a strange one here (and fairly frustarting). I have a table which includes a field (type memo) which holds text comments.
I have a query which includes this field. For some reason, when the comments field is empty (identified thorugh opening the table), when it is returned through the query is shows two characters, namely '@v'.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks for reading :)
I have a query that is linked to a data table. The values entered in the data table are fine and display as expected. When I run the query, the results of one of the columns show Chinese like characters instead of the actual value. But, when I filter that column by choosing 'does not contain...' the actual cell contents display. I have 2 other identical queries reading from the same table and they do not display funky.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table called 'students' with the appropriate fields. There is another table named parents_prof which contains records of common professions. The tables are related through the 'ID_parents_prof' of the 'parents_prof' table to two fields on the table 'students', thus 'students.father_prof' and 'students.mother_prof'.
1st question) Is that possible? Is it possible to create a relation between the key field of one table to two different fields of another table? Is it a good practice?
I did this because I want to build a query which checks for both fields together, meaning I want Access to return a record if the appropriate profession is in either field of mother's or father's profession.
SELECT students.surname, students.name, students.father_name, students.father_prof, students.mother_name, students.mother_prof
FROM parents_prof INNER JOIN students ON (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.mother_prof) OR (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.father_prof)
GROUP BY students.surname, students.name, students.father_prof, students.mother_prof, parents_prof.parents_prof
HAVING (((parents_prof.parents_prof) Like "*" & [enter profession] & "*"));
Access cannot represent the above graphical, so I had to enter the
OR (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.father_prof)
in the SQL formula.
2nd question) Is the above proper query, according to the rules?
What forumla could I use in a report field to remove all characters before the first space in a text field e.g.
32A Bank Street --> Bank Street
19 Alder Street --> Alder Street
I've tried =Right([JLADD1],Len([JLADD1])-2) but this obviously doesn't work for the first example above.
I have created a new simple db in Access 2007.
In the Reports, when I go to print preview or even print it none of the numeric characters are displayed.
It does not seem to matter if the character is in a numeric field or a text field and only seems to be characters 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
In the fields with a negative value the - sign is dispayed!
I have checked and appears to be only Access this is occurring with (Excel seems fine).
I have checked another database and it happens there as well.
I have a report that runs from a query with fields but for some reason its not showing all the text in the field it only shows around 250 characters, I have the field to auto grow in size but still not working?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have been trying to improve a form used to add/edit names in a mailing list. What I want to do is check the database for possible duplicate names and alert the user to the fact that their new person may already be in the db.
I used the following VBA code in the After Update event as follows:
Private Sub txtLastName_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Dim strLastName As String
Dim NbrNames As Variant
Dim strNameSQL As String
txtLastName = Trim(txtLastName)
If Not Mid(txtLastName, 1, 1) = "=" Then
txtLastName = StrConv(txtLastName, vbProperCase)
Else
txtLastName = Mid(txtLastName, 2, 999)
End If
' Test for duplicate last name in data base
NbrNames = DCount("[tblMemberListings].[mlLastName]", "tblMemberListings", "[tblMemberListings].[mlLastName]= '" & txtLastName & " '")
If NbrNames > 0 Then
strNameSQL = "SELECT ALL tblMemberListings.mlID, tblMemberListings.mlLastName, tblMemberListings.mlFirstName, tblMemberListings.mlSpouseSO, tblMemberListings.mlAddress " & _
"FROM tblMemberListings " & _
"WHERE ((tblMemberListings.mlLastName) LIKE '" & txtLastName & "*') " & _
"ORDER BY tblMemberListings.mlLastName, tblMemberListings.mlFirstName, tblMemberListings.mlSpouseSO;"
lstDuplicateNames.RowSource = strNameSQL
Beep
lstDuplicateNames.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
This generates a useful list of potential persons already in the db. The user then has the choice of continuing to add the new name and address or they should be able to select one of the names in the listbox and refresh the form with that person's data for possible modification.
I currently have these two Event Procedures in place:
Private Sub lstDuplicateNames_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
'MsgBox "Sub lstDuplicateNames_Click value = " & lstDuplicateNames.Column(0)
If Not IsNull(lstDuplicateNames.Column(0)) Then
' User chooses and existing record
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[mlID] = " & lstDuplicateNames.Column(0)
If Not Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
Me.lstDuplicateNames.Visible = False
Me.Refresh
End If
End Sub
and
Private Sub lstDuplicateNames_Click()
Me.txtHidden.SetFocus
Me.lstDuplicateNames.Visible = False
End Sub
The problem is that when one clicks on one of the listed names just two things happen:
1 - a fine dotted box outline appears around the *first* record in the listbox
2 - the MS Exclamation wav sound is generated each time the mouse button is clicked. :confused:
Short of enrolling in a local junior college that offers Access 101 what can I do to get this addition working? I'm also not sure that my code to refresh the form is going to work, but right now I don't ever get there. ;)
Oh, this problem is occurring in MS Access 2000.
Any help would be greatly appreciated by this NOOB.

I have this database with almost 10 reports (one report per table) that you can export or print. But I would like to have a button to export or print ALL the reports. Because when I try to build a report with all columns, access won't let me and suggests that I try with fewer columns or fields.
So naturally (after cursing and bursting with rage) I can only think of the solution to make a button that exports or prints all the reports.
My database is created with point and click actions from my side.
I have a training database that I have set up and utilize to track attendee data and who is registered to which course.I have a course registration table that has a course title field which is a drop down list populated by course titles from the courses table, and a trainee id field.
For whatever reason, when I view reports or queries that draw from this table, access will make changes to the first record in the course registration table course title field i.e. it will take whoever is in the first record, and change the course they were registered to.
I want to track how many orders a user makes. So every time they place an order it increments 1 after each order.
I currently have the following tables,
Order
OrderDetail
User
Should i create an UserOrderHistory table?
Eventually i want this information to form part of an order number. eg
196(order primary key) AR (UsersInitials) /23 (number of orders User has placed)
I use Access 2013. Is there an easy way to do the following: I have a contract that starts on eg 01/07/2015. Tenant has to pay 100 each month. Is there a way to create a query/table/... where access automatically makes a due date? EG: Joe needs to pay me 100 each month, starting 01/01/2015 until 31/12/2018.
This means:
01/01/2015 - due 100 from Joe
01/02/2015 - due 100 from Joe
...
01/12/2018 - due 100 from Joe

It works fine, I just want to know if it's possible to export the PDF without saving it? I can't seem to find anything on my search about it.
Code:
'Open Report From Query
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_BLT_PrintReport", acViewPreview, Me.Filter
'Output Form to PDF
Dim strUserName As String, strPath As String
strUserName = Environ("username")
strPath = "C:Users" & strUserName & "DocumentsPoliceReport.pdf"

'Close Report
DoCmd.Close acReport, "rpt_BLT_PrintReport"
Ok.
I have a database. I have a report. I want to batch export this report to either html/xml/rtf files. However, at present, the problem is that by default, I can batch export to html but it will produce a sequential list of files with the suffix page 1; page 2; etc.
I want to batch export to html/xml/rtf but name the output files based on an field within the database. (I have a field that is called filename, and would like to replicate this in the output reports)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello all...I'm having a problem when exporting some text from Access 2000/XP to Excel using the EXPORT function. The reason why report is used to export is b'cos I need certain layout & to be ported over to Excel.
Text like '00133484-001' or '00130898-001' will be changed to another number after EXPORT, can anyone help me in this ? How can I set these numbers so that they remain the same ?
Exporting report to PDF works sort of easy. But how does one design the layout of the report, to make it look good on "exported excel files"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRelatively speaking, I've got a pretty simple database. The presenters at our community radio station fill out a form of what song they play and this (along with the system time) is stored in a table.
I have a wildcard query to bring up all entries from a certain date and at present, I export a report of this by hand on a Saturday for everyday of the previous week - but I want to automate this?!
I can change the query to be a standard one to just bring up entries for today. I then, somehow, need to automatically export a report of this query as a PDF at midnight every night into a certain folder with the file name being today's date.
I have Acrobat PDFMaker.
In Access' file menu, there is a menu called Adobe PDF and under it, it allows you to merge multiple reports into a single PDF file.
How can I create a button that can do this?
Thanks in advance.
It only happens once in a while a few times in a row and then, without changing anything, it's all fine again. It does happen on other pcs as well. (It happens on Office10 and Office13)

I have a Query derived from a single Table in Access 2010 which I routinely export in spreadsheet format.
I have now built a report from the Query in which has labels have been added to suit an external agency. I wish to export this Report in Excel format, but the resulting file does not include the additional labels and is merely an xls version of the underlying query.
Is there an alternative method of achieving what I need?
