Access report - Preview selected pages - ms-access

If one condition I've specified returns true I want to open my report in preview mode and the report should show all the pages minus the last one. i.e. if the total number of pages is 10, preview only pages from 1 to 9.
I was thing about tweaking this code, it works however it goes directly to the printer dialog box and bypasses the preview step completely.
Do you know how I can specify which pages to show in preview mode?

Crystal report displays page number as 1 of 1+

I am using crystal report 8.5 with VB6. So in some of my reports the page number is displayed as 1 of 1+ when i click on next the page number becomes 2 of 2+ and so on. When i reach last page say 8th page it becomes 8 of 8. I dont know which setting causes this to come like this. I want page number to be displayed properly as 1 of 8 and so on. So please help me on this.
Below is a screenshot of that error
I can't tell you exactly why the Report Viewer does that, but to get rid of this behavior just add from 'Special Fields' in the Field Explorer the field 'Page N of M' anywhere in your report and change its suppress property to true. Adding this field to your report will display the number of all pages in your toolbar correctly.
I only found reason for the error and solution to it.

The rpt which does not displays page number properly(i.e displayed 1 of 1+ in viewer) had page number field used in it. But there was no field which triggers total page count. So i was getting 1 of 1+.When i reach last page it gets the page count so when i click previous page it updates page number properly in viewer.
So it can be solved by using TotalPageCount some where in the rpt file so that it updates it at the beginning it self when displaying first page.

how to show entire report in single page using Report Builder?

I am using MS Report builder 3.0 to create one of my report.The report is the tabular report and sometimes the size of table grows long about 2 to 3 pages.
But i want to show the entire report with in single page without having to click next page button. I tried increasing page size but that doesnot work. Please help! I am new to Report Builder.
It sounds like you need to set the InteractiveSize -> Height property to 0cm:
This will prevent implicit page breaks when viewed in Report Manager or a ReportViewer control.
This won't have any effect on printing, exporting to PDF, etc, as these media have to force page breaks no matter what - they're affected by the PageSize properties.

SSRS report losses formatting in Report Manager via Internet Explorer

I have a report that renders a report header on its own page and then two pages for each member that it finds. The report will render each page correctly for the report header and the first member listed but all formatting is lost when the page changes to the second member (page 4 overall). Once this happens all formatting is lost for the entire report: right aligned becomes left, tablix table loses boarders, font changes, etc. It looks very much like when a webpage loses connection to it CSS file. When I navigate back to the first member the formatting is lost here as well and I cannot navigate back to the report header page. I have to navigate back to page two then back to page one twice for the report header page to reappear.
To make things more complicate the report renders as expected in BIDS, report Builder 3.0 and Firefox. The report has worked before from the Report Manager via Internet Explorer (IE) and only recently started to fail. There have only been minor changes since it last ran well form Report Manager via IE and I have investigated them all. I ran copies of the source from both IE and Firefox through an html validator at W3 Schools and they both had the same exact errors that is typical of Microsoft rendered XHTML. The interesting issues is when you have the failed formatted report rendered in Report Manager via IE and then choose to export the file as a PDF or MHTML the exports render the same as expected when looking at BIDS or Report Builder 3.0 including the MHTML viewed via IE.
I really have no idea how to solve this issue and have tried many different approaches to resolve. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I just observed similar behavior where my report rendered fine in BIDS, but when deployed to reporting services (2008R2), it rendered incorrectly. In my case, after looking at 2 pages of the report, the third page lost all formatting. Then when I went back to pages 1 and 2, the formatting was lost as well.
The change I made that caused this behavior was very simple. I set the Hidden property for the same text box back to True.
The fix was to do the opposite, set the Hidden property for a text box back to False. In order to hide the box, I changed the font color to match the page background color. This set of workarounds worked for me. The loss of formatting definitely appears to be a bug in the rendering engine of reporting services.
the Header in the subreport that i had i removed it first and then added it again and set the the show page header and footer to falst. this did the trick in formatting to the PDF correctly/

Why is my Access report cutting off when printing?

I have an Access report that has a couple subheaders, and when I run the report, I can see all of the data. However, if I go to print it or to export to PDF, it prints only the first and last pages. Interestingly, the page count that we have at the bottom will say pages 1 of 4 and 2 of 4 for those two pages that print/export, but it is clearly missing the data in the middle.
What it looks like is happening is that it prints the first section and all its subheaders, then (still on the first page) it prints as many of the subheaders in the second section as it can fit on the page and then can't fit any more on the page. Then it prints the last page and the data that would appear there.
How can I make sure that all the data that I see in the actual report actually appears in the printed/exported PDF version?
You need to change your view from "Report View" to "Print Preview".
"Report View" is NOT the same as "Print Preview"
Once you're in print preview you have the option of setting page size, margins, etc.
