I have a report which contains 3 subreports. Now I require to do the following:
1. Hide the subreport if there is no data. 2. Remove the Blank space created when the data in subreport is null.
I tried to Set Can Grow and Can Shrink to Yes but still the blank space was not removed.
When I reduced the height of the subreports in the design view the blank space was reduced but it was still there.
What can be done so that the complete report auto adjusts itself if any sub-report is null? Something like the whole page auto fits itself in the available space?
The option of reducing the size of sub report in design view to minimum is there but it makes the report very un-handy for future reference.
I have an enormous Post Code Table 1.7 million records, which I must update every month into usable sectors for our carrier cross refs, the UK postcode is in the format CB6 3HQ, CB6 3HR, CB6 3HS, CB6 3HT, CB6 3HW etc I need to be able to remove the space then only use the first 4 chrs ie CB63, in the above examples I know I could do a search and replace " " with "" but I need this to be run automaticly where would be the best place to do this and if coded how?
We have created a database where data entry happens on the first form. So far all is working well on this form except users complain there is not enough space for comments. I set up a column for comments, but it is limited to 255 characters. What/How else can I set this up to provide a lot more room?
I have a form which I would like to enable scrollbars both horizontally and vertically (the main reason being, the application is designed for users with large / wide screens but may at some point be required on smaller screens)
Currently I have the scrollbars switched off and the form maximises but everything goes to pot if I resize the window. I'd like to add the scrollbars so if a user wants to resize the window to, say, half the screen, they can still scroll across to the 'hidden' parts of the form.
The problem with this is, if the form is maximised - or at least large enough to show the entire form - the area of the screen where the horizontal scrollbar resides is white (whereas the background colour of the form is a pale green) Which is quite unsightly.
I know I can remove the problem by removing the horizontal scrollbar and the navigation bar (which is already gone!) but then I can't scroll?
Is it possible to have a horizontal scrollbar but not have that white space at the bottom when the scrollbar is not required?
(Doesn't appear to be a problem with the vertical scrollbar?...)
I'm new to this so here goes...I've got an Access query that I'm trying to remove the first 5 characters from the 10 character name in each record. The name is composed of both letters and numbers. The first 5 characters vary but it is always the first 5 that need to go.
explain me the Query Expression to remove the first 7 characters in a column, to rum a Query.Eg - I have entry like - 4/8/11-Pipe...I need to return the result like "Pipe".How to build the query.
I have a Memo field that is used to be a description of a document. I don't know what the user will put in (could be anything), but it is eventually passed in a string to a query, etc.I discovered during testing that if an apostrophe is entered (Ex: This document explains how to deal with Joe's pleasant disposition.), it breaks my code. I then realized that all reserved words and characters would cause this problem.
I can get around this one just by using Replace(str, "'", "''"). However, I know there are others that will cause problems, and I don't want to end up with a string of replace statements just to fix them.
I copy some information from a website and then paste/values into Excel. I noticed that some non-printing characters are copied to. Suppose I were to import this Excel spreadsheet into an Access table. Now I need to clean up/remove those non-printing characters. What is the best way to do this in Access?
I suppose I could set up a calculated column with =SUBSTITUTE([InvHours],char(160),"") as the formula, where InvHours is the field name containing the non-printing characters. But if I did this, then I would still retain the original field with the non-printing characters which would increase the size of the database. I don't think I could delete it because then the calculated column wouldn't work. So I would rather not pursue this option if possible.
Would it be possible to somehow run a macro that could automatically be triggered as soon as data is imported, and that macro would clip out the non-printing characters without having to copy anything to blank columns?
Or does Access have some built-in feature that could do this?
The first report example is what I get when I start on the main form and select an organization, run the report, opens report - BIG SPACE between the details and my footer section which holds a subform.
The second report is what I need it to look like, what's strange to me is I get the report correctly when I just run the report (I don't pass the organization into the report from the main form)
I tried changing the background color of the detail section and the footer section to figure out where my problem is but the space just stays white.
I have a report with an embedded subreport. It's set up in two columns, ordered across then down.
My problem is when column 1, row 1 section is taller than column 2, row 1 section. It creates a lot of extra white space as I fill in the rest of the report. Is there a way to eliminate that space or am I stuck?
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.
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 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?
I have a report that is created from the following query (qryTotalProjectHours). What I am trying to do is get the total hours spent on Tasks within a given time period.
Code:
SELECT TasksEntries.Project, TasksEntries.Task, Sum(TimeTracker.WorkHours) AS TotalHours FROM TasksEntries INNER JOIN TimeTracker ON (TasksEntries.EmployeeId = TimeTracker.EmployeeId) AND (TasksEntries.TaskID = TimeTracker.TaskId) GROUP BY TasksEntries.Project, TasksEntries.Task;
I accept the start and end dates in a form and pass it like shown below. WorkDate is a column in the TimeTracker table and is not present in any other table.
When the report is invoked, I get a box where it says "Enter parameter value" for Workdate..
Is there anyway I can get rid of the prompt? I never thought you needed the column name in the SELECT statement to be able to run this.I should add the I tried the query with the WorkDate hardcoded in there and it worked fine and returned the correct results
I have created a custom menu used on my reports which contains all the icons I need and anchored them to the right side of the report. I have been able to remove the min, max and the close icons from the default report menu bar at the top right hand side as well as the "Ask A Question" dropdown. But I am not able to remove the "Restore window" button that comes with the report print preview.
How do I remove the "Restore Window" icon from the report's menu bar?
I have a query that pulls information from two different columns in a linked table, and places them together in a single column in a new table. The expression that i use in the query is: Expr1: [ARTINAME]+[ TITLE]. I need to put a space between the two. Is there a way to put a space in between these two when written to the new table?
Amongst many other things i would like to be able to see which teams in our company have access to which database. We currently use up to seven!!! different Databases which makes for tremendous fun...just kidding.
Since every Team has access to more than one Database andevery Database obviously gets used by a multitude of Teams, i thought the best way to go would be a Junction Table. Whilst building this, however, it occured to me that i could have just created fields for each Database in the Team Table which then can be ticked.
So here's my question, is it more space consuming to create a junction table, it certainly appears to be more work right now...
