How to display the results of a search Query (done by clicking a "Search" Button) in a Subform? - ms-access

I'm working on a DB in Microsoft Access 2016 and created a search form with multiple filters and then a Search button. It works perfectly fine, it shows the results in a query table that opens separately but I would like the results to be shown on the form page right below the button.
I tried:
creating a list box and setting the row source to my query
dragging the query itself on my form page to create a subquery and it only every data in the DB. The query is still functional, it opens in another tab and works, but the subform doesn't change at all
creating a combo box and displaying the results after pressing the button in the said combo box
adding another button in the subform to run the query but it has the same outcome: results displayed in a separate tab.
pic of what I want my form to do
I attached a pic, that's not my actual DB. Basically I want the box to display my results only after clicking the button.
Nothing has worked :( is there anything else I could try? I would gladly post my .accdb file if it's easier to understand what I mean.
Thank you!

Hyperlink box (txtbox) on Access Form won't allow drop

I have a MS Access form that is bound to a query in the database. I added a textbox and added a row source to a Hyperlink datafield in the query. When I open the form, it won't allow me to drop a file into the textbox.
Here's the deal. When I follow this EXACT same process on a new form, it works perfectly. That is, I open a blank form and I bind the form to some new query, let's say qryNewIdeas. Then on the blank form i add a textbox, let's say Text0. Then, when I select Text0, I go to the data tab - row source and choose the dropdown arrow to select the hyperlink field, lets say NewIdeasAddress. I click SAVE and open the form. It works PERFECTLY.
BUT, when I repeat this on an existing form (the one where I need the thing to actually work), it does nothing. It adds and changes the textbox to a hyperlink box (I note this because of the blue underlined word that appears in the box). But it won't allow me to drop files to this location.
I tried commenting out ALL of my VBA code to try to make sure that something wasn't hindering it (say in an OnLoad event) AND I've checked all of the form and control box properties and they seem to be the same in both the existing form and the test form.
I can't determine why it works on one form and not the other; Solution needed.
If you have access to "the data tab - row source ..", you are in design view.
When you later open the form, you are in form view, a completely different animal which specifically prohibits design changes.
It sounds like you will have to rethink your concept.

DOM - Select Value from a Field that has a Search Component and a Drop Down

I have been working on this forever. I have attached a first picture of the steps I am trying to do in VBA. This particular field that I have having trouble populating for a client of mine appears to be a drop down but when you click it, it has a search field. I know the option value I want the field to be set to but using doc.getElementbyID("id_referrer").selectedIndex = fieldValue is not working. See the first picture for the steps of what I'm trying to do, then the second picture for the behind the scenes look at the classes and then all the different commands that I've tried to populate this field. The save button works, but nothing ever is populated for the Referrer or it bombs.

How to make a button in ssrs

There is a report contains 1000s of pages of data.Is there any way to make a button on the first page of the report so that ,if click on the button it goes to the end of the pages.
Is there any expression to be written,with out writing the vb.net code?
There is a button like that in SSRS (you can also type page number in the box and press enter):
EDIT:
You can add a bookmark at the end of your report and then make a textbox which will jump to it (textbox properties->Action->mark "go to bookmark" and select the bookmark you made. I am not sure, however, if it works well in excel.
Web viewer control, this button already exists.
I don't believe you can add a button to SSRS and export to Excel to go to last row.
You can use Excel command to go to last cell which should work.
Refer to [http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/excel-help/excel-shortcut-and-function-keys-HP010073848.aspx][1]
CTRL+G
Displays the Go To dialog box.
F5 also displays this dialog box.
Click on "Special..." button and select "Last Cell" option and click OK
Sorry .. Tried posting images for you but not enough points to do so.
There are 2 ways of reaching the last page or the data on the last page:
Sol 1. #kyooryu has already mentioned above in his solution along with a screenshot.
Sol 2. You can freeze the header and set the display result to show the data on a single page. This way you will not have multiple pages and you can directly hit the end button from keyboard on the report manager to reach the bottom result set. Freezing the header will help you in identifying the column names.

Show tables based on clicking a TextBox

I wanted to know if there is a possibility to have a Textbox on a report which says something like "SHOW TABLES". When clicked the tables in the report should show.
My report contains tables and Charts. I want to be able to show the charts but not the tables. I should be able to show the tables only when the user clicks on "SHOW TABLES"
It should not rerun the report once we click the TextBox.
It depends what you mean by "rerun the report".
You can set the ToggleItem property of the tables you want to hide to the name of your Show Tables textbox.
Set the initial visibilty of the tables to be hidden. Clicking the Show Tables textbox will show the tables. Clicking on the textbox will hide them again.
In my testing, the report will re-render, but it will not load its DataSets again. So there will be some processing to update the report appearance but it's more lightweight than reloading a report from scratch.
It may not fit your needs perfectly but might be worth investigating.
right click on the report "'tablix properties"
In Display can be toggled by this report item, from the drop-down box, type or select the name of a text box in the report in which to display a toggle image; for example, Textbox1.
In the following image, the table is configured to enable users to expand and collapse it. The display of the table is toggled by the Products Table text box.
5.To test the toggle, run the report and click the text box with the toggle image. The report display refreshes to show report items with their toggled visibility.

Bids Dataset Properties dialog has no datasource dropdownlist

I'm reading "SQL Server 2008 Report Services - Unleashed" and I'm reading the section on page 128 where they have the reader create a new dataset.
The photo in the book shows a slightly different Dataset Properties dialog window to the one I'm using. The one in the book shows a dropdown list for choosing a data source while the same dialog window I'm using does not. I looked at the other tabs on the left side of the window but did not find anything that would suggest the user can choose a data source for the dataset. The list of tabs on the left are also in a different order as well.
The photo in the book also shows a query text field in the window and mine does not.
There is text on the top area of the window says "Choose a data source and create a query" and a "Name" text field just like the book photo but after that everything is different. Mine has a radio button set ("Use a shared dataset" and "Use a dataset embedded in my report")
Clicking the OK button gives a message "<> Select a datasource". Could this be a Bids bug?
If I look at the same dialog when creating a report using the wizard it shows the same as in the book.
All help will be appreciated.
Found it!
I hope this helps anyone who gets caught by this one. It had us guessing for hours.
Select the "Use a dataset embedded in my report" radio button and the dropdownlist will appear.
