I am making a query that feeds information into a report in MS Access. I have a search function that uses "*" & [Form]![FormName]![ComboBox] & "*" in one of the fields and is linked to a search box - this all works fine. However, I also have a button that opens the complete report - every time I click this button it asks for the parameter of the search box. I know this is happening because that's the criteria the query is based on. I'm just wondering if there is a way to get Access to ignore this criteria if the "Open Complete Report" button is pressed?
Thanks for your help.
What you need to do is decouple this report from the FormName form.
To do that, remove the "*" & [Form]![FormName]![ComboBox] & "*" condition from your query, and then pass a WHERE clause when you open the report using DoCmd.OpenReport.
For your form with the combobox, it would look something like this:
DoCmd.OpenReport "SomeReport", acViewNormal, , "SomeField = " & "*" & [ComboBox] & "*"
And for your "Open Complete Report" button, it would simply be
DoCmd.OpenReport "SomeReport", acViewNormal

I have an issue with "where condition" in macro on OpenForm in Access 2016.
I'm struggling with exactly the same issue, meaning a dialog window opening in between forms as in the link below:
Access- Open form with where clause
I have a condition like this in macro builder on OpenForm:
="ID_code_SC = " & [Forms]![SearchFRM_Materiel]![ID_code_SC]
and it still asks me to type the name of the ID. If I type it, it goes to a correct record.
Importantly, my ID is a text, such as ABC_01. So I modified it according to:
http://www.baldyweb.com/wherecondition.htm
and I have:
="ID_code_SC = '" & [Forms]![SearchFRM_Materiel]![ID_code_SC] & "'"
but this, on the other hand, opens an empty form and doesn't refer to any record.
I use Access 2016. I'm very new to Access and macros/VBA, so most likely I don't see some basic mistake.
Try this:
"ID_code_SC = '" & [Forms]![SearchFRM_Materiel]![ID_code_SC] & "'"
I have a button on my form that creates a print preview of my report. I can not get it to open on the same record as the current form. Instead it opens to the first record. They are both on the same query. I tried both macros and VBA. I'm new to access and cant understand how to get my records to be the same and print preview just the record I had open in my form
Here's my VBA code,I get error saying "no messsage for this error"
DoCmd.OpenReport "Moisture", acViewPreview, , "[Order Number]= " & [Order Number]
Try:
DoCmd.OpenReport "Moisture", acViewPreview, , "[Order Number]=""" & [Order Number] & """"
This may not be the best way but i solved this issue by creating a query for the report that only displayed the record source that was open with in my form. I passed the following in my criteria for my primary key in the query.
[Forms]![NameOfForm]![PrimaryKey]
thus only displaying that specific fields for that Primary key opened in the form and nothing else.
I have a button in an Access 2007 Form with the on click VBA code as follows:
Private Sub Command53_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "BolLSW", acViewNormal, , "[bolnum] = '" & [bolnum] & "'"
End Sub
Essentially this will open a report (based on which number you enter for bolnum when pressing the button) which has the same information as the form and then print it. However when the report prints it print all the records instead of just the one entered.
Is there a way to specify to only print the desired record?
To clarify: Bolnum is a unique field within the form that auto increments. Clicking the "Generate BoL" prompts a dialog box for you to enter the Bolnum to print. Upon entering 2, both record 1 and 2 will print.
I'd try giving [bolnum] (between the 2 &, i.e. the variable ) a different name. I guess Access is taking the value of the current row - so the where-clause is always true.
I've solved this by removing some of the quotes from
DoCmd.OpenReport "BolLSW", acViewNormal, , "[bolnum] = '" & [bolnum] & "'"
specifically:
removing
>'<" & [bolnum] >& "'"<
resulting in:
DoCmd.OpenReport "BolLSW", acViewNormal, 1, "[bolnum] = " & [bolnum]
I have an access 2010 report that pulls from a query. The query has a Date, Name, and ID. What I'd like is a drop down box at the top of the report that filters on Date. So when a user selects a date, the report would refresh and show the results form the query for that date only. I can't seem to get this to work and need some direction.
Thanks in Advance!
You can open a report with arguments.
DoCmd.OpenReport ReportName, View, FilterName, WhereCondition, _
WindowMode, OpenArgs
( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb238032(v=office.12).aspx )
This means that you can create a form using the MS Access form wizards and either add a combobox that shows all available dates, or just a textbox formatted to accept dates and use that as the basis of a where statement. Add a button to run the report and set the click event to something like:
DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acViewPreview, , _
"MyDate=#" & Format(Me.txtDate,"yyyy/mm/dd") & "#"
I have a text field with a button that filters by a keyword in a form.
Private Sub Command93_Click()
Me.Filter = "(Review Like '*" & Me.Text94 & "*')OR (Status Like '*" & Me.Text94 & "*')"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub
I then have a button that generates the report from that filter.
Private Sub Filter_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptName", acViewPreview, , Me.Filter
End Sub
The problem is that whenever I hit this button to generate the report, I get a pop up box asking me to Enter Parameter ID and it is asking this for review. If I take the review criteria out (by the way I have many more fields I just used review and status to illustrate the example) then the report generates without any pop up box. The review is part of a notinlist event which opens another form and stores that info in a table review, if that is relevant at all. The report will still generate when I click ok and leave the Enter Parameter ID box blank but I'd like to somehow bypass it for two reasons - the first being the fact that I need other people who are not familiar with access to be able to use it and the second is the idea that if I learn what is causing it I can understand the way access works better. Thanks.
Does your report have a field called Review? If not, you either need to change the recordsource of the report so it is joined with the table that has review, or change your filter so it refers to the field that the report has.
