Reports :: Unbound Control On A Report
Jul 7, 2015
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?

I have a report that starts with an unbound form [Form1] which I need for the parameter inputs. Date1, Date2 and BillingMonth, all three are unbound controls. Date1 and Date2 are the criteria for the dates of billing and they work fine, that is, the query looks them up and the query runs fine. But I want to use the unbound control of BillingMonth to populate an unbound control in the report heading.
The control source is set as =[Forms]![Form1].[BillingMonth]; it works fine if the underlying [Form1] is still open. There is a command button on [Form1] that opens the report and then closes [Form1] since it is a pop-up form that is only used to get the criteria for the underling query; I don't want it to remain open when I run the report. However, the [BillingMonth] does not appear on the report heading. Just #Name?, which I assume means that since [Form1] is no longer open, it can't find the control [BillingMonth].
So, how can I get the [BillingMonth] to appear on the report heading?

I have a very simple report - just one field.
I have a Form - "Cases". The button to open the report is on that form as are the values I want in the report.
I want to pull the value of Case Name and Case Number from the current form view and put them together in the single field on my report.
I can "almost" do it. Then VBA gives me a warning - it says that you can't assign a value to the control on my report.
Can anyone give me any ideas?
by the way:
I chose to make this an unbound report because I'm using SQL server as my back-end and my Access is an .adp file. SQL (so I was told by the programmers at work) can't pull in variable criteria from a form like Access Queries can. So this all has to be put in VBA.

I have entered an unbound text control into my footer, and typed in some text, and now when I go to Preview my report it's asking for a Parameter Value? There is no parameter, as it's just a return address typed in there. That's crazy!!!

I have two numeric fields which make up what looks like a full decimalised number ie 20.22 - only I am unable to put the decimal point in between the two numbers.
I thought about putting in an unbound object such as a picture of a full-stop but cant get it anchored at the correct angle to make it look convincing in the report.As this is such a huge database I have tried to amend the tables, but it loses vital data ?

I have an unbound combo box on a report that looks up to a table of address data.I have a specific requirement where if one of the bound fields on the report is a specific value, I want the combo box to show data. If the bound control on the report is a different value, I want the data in the combo box to be different.
I have tried using the OnOpen method, but it says I cannot assign a value to it.I have tried using the OnLoad procedure, but it doesn't show anything. the code is as follows:
Code:
Private Sub Report_Load(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.[Dispatch Type] = "Sent to A" Then
Me.cboDispatchTo = 15
ElseIf Me.[Dispatch Type] = "Sent to B" Then
Me.cboDispatchTo = 8
End If
End Sub

I have 10 unbound textboxes with the Tag Name "LoopID" in my report. I have to display the "PatientNumbers" field from the table tblPatient in those text boxes. Below is my code.
When I run the report, I get the error message: Run-time error '2448.' You can't assign value to this object and the code "Ctl.Value = rst!LCANumber" is highlighted.
Private Sub Report_Current()
Dim strSql As String
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim x As Integer
Dim Ctl As Control
strSql = "Select PatientNumber from tblPatient"
[Code] ....

I have a report [Report1] that gets its data from a query [Query1]. On [Report1] there is an unbound text box [EnterEndDate] that I want to use as a filter for the report criteria, and have it filter the report to show every report row with the value in the [EndDate] field greater than what the user entered in [EnterEndDate].
There is no need to save the value used in [EnterEndDate]. It will be entered after the report is run and changed on demand while the report is open for the user to see different date ranges.

I have an unbound form with an associated report. When the user hits the 'print' button on the form/screen, the report is launched in the background. In the On Load event of the report I populate the report fields from the forms field as so:
Code:
Me.txtAddrMainLine2 = "NAME " & UCase([Forms]![frm_OrderRx].[txtPatientName])
This works like a charm as long as I call the report in Print Preview mode (i.e. with acViewPreview). But if I send the report directly to the printer, none of the fields print.
I've read about using other report events to populate the fields (e.g., On Format and On Print) and also something about using TempVars to pass the data. But I haven't read anything that's clear and definitive about the full answer.

I have an unbound report - which is actually a form for the user to print out if they need one. There is no data on the form.
Here is the code that is run when the Button is Clicked:
'First, I reenable the Access menus so that they can use those to print
DoCmd.OpenReport "TransitionSurveyPaperFormLEA", acViewPreview
When I open the report on XP/Access 2007, it works just fine.
When I open the exact same accdb with a Win7/A2007 machine, the report does not open. If I debug and display the error, a msgbox appears
"The OpenReport action was canceled."
I have other bound reports and those open with XP/A2007 or Win7/A2007 just fine.
It makes me VERY nervous that the same exact ACCDB in A2007 runs differently on different OSs (XP vs Win7).

I am having trouble creating a chart within a report. Let me start off by explaing my report.
I have many unbound textboxes on my report that all have the code very similar to this:
" =Count(IIf([Complaints Table]![Month]=1,IIf([Complaints Table]![Decision - Our Favour? (Y/N)]="Y",0))) "
This basically gives a count of for a specific month. There are twelve rows of text boxes and two columns. There is a query applied to the report to input the year, as this is a yearly report.
What I want to do is link a chart to each and every text box to show the data in an easy to view format. But I can't seem to figure it out, and I've had no luck on the web .

SELECT qryHoursReq.VolunteerId, qryHoursReq.Name, qryHoursReq.Program, Sum(qryHoursReq.Total_Time) AS SumOfTotal_Time, qryHoursReq.S_date
FROM qryHoursReq
GROUP BY qryHoursReq.VolunteerId, qryHoursReq.Name, qryHoursReq.Program, qryHoursReq.S_date
HAVING (((qryHoursReq.S_date) Between [startdate] And [enddate]));
This is my query
I'm trying to get a count of distinct volunteerID in an unbound textbox on report.
If I use =Count(*) I get 2 when I put in date parameters and it groups by program
This is kind of correct, but, these 2 are the same person, she had different days she participated.
What code can I use for only get a count of 1
FOrgot to mention, when I use the DCount with numerous examples, I get #Error

Working on a report that displays multiple pie charts. Each chart is based on a different query. I cannot pull a single query for all charts due to the criteria for each conflicting with each other. Each query is filtered by Fiscal Year based on what I input into my Fiscal Year Filter form. The command button on the FY Filter Form opens the report, set TempVar to the FY field (the criteria for each query), and closed the FY Filter Form. This works as I want it to.
The problem: I have additional fields I want to show up on the form such as number of completed students (WINGED). This number is based on yet another query where all completed students are counted [WingedCount]. I have tried to write an expression to an unbound field that points at this [WingedCount] field but it does not work. Then, I changed the report's source as the query with the [WingedCount] field. This does work, however this is where I run into an issue
I open my FY Filter Form and type in my criteria and select the open command button. However, now I am asked for the criteria again for each chart on the report.
I need a way to input the criteria only once and have all charts populate as well as my count field.
I have attached a jpeg of my current report and will upload jpegs of the needed output following this post.

I 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 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 have an inventory transaction file that has quantity on hand as a calculated field. I am trying to add this unbound field to a report using a query but I can't figure out how to add my quantity on hand field to the query since it is a calculated field and not a bound control.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have a form that uses a query as its control source. The problem I have is that on this form I have an unbound textbox that I need to show the result of another query in. I thought I could do this by using =[Query]![QueryName]![Field name] in its control source, but this isn't working.
What is the right way to go about this?
Cheers

Hi,
Is it possible to have an unbound image control on a tabular form displaying a different image for each record ?
Actually i have tried putting some code on the onCurrent event, but it is displaying the same image in all records, depending on which record is current.
This is the code which i tried using:
Private Sub Form_Current()
On Error GoTo Err_Form_Current
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCountry) And Not IsNull(Me.txtCatalogueNumber) Then
Me.Stamp.Picture = Environ("userprofile") & "My DocumentsDatabasesPhilatelyStamps" & Me.txtCountry & Me.txtCatalogueNumber & ".jpg"
ElseIf IsNull(Me.txtCountry) Or IsNull(Me.txtCatalogueNumber) Then
Me.Stamp.Picture = Environ("userprofile") & "My DocumentsDatabasesPhilatelyStampsNotAvailable. jpg"
End If
Exit_Err_Form_Current:
Exit Sub
Err_Form_Current:
If Err.Number = 2220 Then
Me.Stamp.Picture = Environ("userprofile") & "My DocumentsDatabasesPhilatelyStampsNotAvailable. jpg"
Else
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Error #" & Err.Number
End If
End Sub
Actually, the above code works fine for Single Form, but not on tabular form.
Thank you for any advice.

Hello,
Please see the attached images (screen shots from my db).
I'll start by explaining the function of this form. Invoices are raised through a different area of the system - they then appear in the outstanding invoice list in my payment processing screen while awaiting payment. When a payment is received the user creates a payment using the controls at the top of the form. When created - payments will appear in a list box at the bottom of the screen. I then want the user to be able to highlight a payment from the list and type the amount to allocate against each line in the outstanding invoices subform. Then (once happy with the allocation) press the "Allocate" button which will cycle through the allocations the user has made inserting rows into my Transaction table - allocating the payment against multiple invoices.
The fields displayed in the outstanding invoices subform are selected in a query which calculates the amount still outstanding. In trying to illustrate my aim I've added an unbound text box to the subform (the column Allocate). What I'd like to be able to do is type a different amount against each outstanding invoice. I understand this is not the way that unbound controls work in continuous forms - i.e. that they are multiple instances of the same control hence when I type 100 against the first item in the list it appears against every item in the list. I can't use a bound control because the query is not updateable - and in any case, the entry won’t exist in the transaction table until it has been inserted anyway.
I'm pretty competent with Access and VBA but haven't really explored recordsets - I'm usually able to achieve what I want by binding my forms to stored queries. This, however, is a bit more of a complex problem than I'm used to dealing with.
So, to the point then. I guess my first question is - is it possible to achieve this? I'm sure it must be. If so please can someone try to shed some light?
Secondly, I have an idea but have absolutely no idea of how to implement it. I seems to me what I would need to do is build a temporary recordset for the form and add a field to it i.e. the "Allocate" field I've been talking about. The user would then be able to manipulate this recordset because the form wouldn't be directly accessing a query. Nor would there be any unbound controls on the form. Once the user had typed in all of the allocation figures they are happy with they would be stored in my temp recordset. They could then hit the "Allocate" button which would cycle through the recordset inserting rows into my Transaction table (as long as various validation rules were passed).
Does this sound possible? If so can anyone give me any help or point me in the direction of any material they know of that might be of any help?
Thanks in advance for your help.
To give a flavour of how I originally built this form I've attached another image - PaymentProcessingOld.gif. It's a similar kind of setup. Payments are created at the top of the screen and appear in the list box bottom left. The outstanding invoice subform serves only as a point of reference. The user actually allocates payments by selecting the item from a combo box and typing the amount. This builds the transaction I've talked about above. It's quite straight forward when there are only a few payments and allocations, but in practice payments are usually large and split across up to 100 different invoice lines. That makes it a very tedious task.
