I have created a Microsoft Access Report, with a number of elements in them. These include labels, controls, lines, boxes, etc. When I export the report to Word, it loses all lines, borders, boxes, etc. Is there a way to keep this in an export? Exporting to PDF is fine, but I need this to work in a Word export.
thanks
Unfortunately, when you export a report to Word / RTF graphical elements like lines, ole objects, and attachment fields are not exported. In order to preserve your line, you would need to export your report to a different format like PDF or XPS.

The file rendered from SSRS designed report is showing an additional line in the bottom of the file with pipes. The file is just supposed to show header information with pipes, but additionally has a line with ||||| next line when there is no data. I worked on a different report before which didn't have this issue, so I compared all tablix properties between these two reports and there is no difference but when I click report preview and export in pipe delimited format, I see the issue. Looks like this is a know bug when excel mode is set to true, but in my case the format is pipe delimited text file.
From my Access DB, I need to build up a document that will be automatically generated on the closure of a certain form.
The document will contain the data of the table as each simple report. But the document must contain other things:
First Page with some text and images
Table of Content
A couple of paragraph of fixed text
In the table, there are also some attachments that are Visio flows. It would be great also to have them in the document, for example as an image at the end of each record.
To do this, is it more suitable build up a Report or Export the data to Word? What do the best practices advise?
You can use an OLE object to display files within your Access Report.
You can get fairly flexible with an Access report but Word will have more options for formatting etc
I understand it is possible to export the report data into multiple file types using the export button. however i'm wanting to access the information without having to manually export. So my question is, is it possible using a batch file or powershell to read a text box on the report and output it say into a notepad file or spreadsheet. or if not maybe just a way to export all of the data on the report without having to manually do it? Screenshot attached for an example.
One option is to create a subscription for the report and either have an attachment emailed to you or have it saved to a network location. In either case, there are several export options (csv, excel, xml, etc.). If you're only wanting partial data from the report, I'd recommend creating a sql query or just create a new report that gets you exactly what you need.
I have created a Access Report ,after that i export it to excel format.But while exporting it to the excel it lost his color and it shows like deemed. what i do?
When you export a report to Excel or Word, isn't possible garantee that you will retain all formating specs. Why do you want a report in Excel (specially with all formats)? Is inferred that if you have a report, this should be the final output. If you want some post-processing tasks after you generate a report, you should do this directly in report or exporting just the records to Excel and then formating (for example through a macro).
I have just written a report using the Matrix control in SSRS 2005. I have coloured the rows and columns and when I preview the report the colouring is applied. Same with export to pdf.
Only when I view the exported report in Excel do I get a problem.
The report colours are rendered properly other than the Matrix controls. (they are rendered as Grey)
Is there anything I can do solve this?
I am using SSRS2005 and viewing the xls in Excel 2003.
Are you using a colour that is valid in Excel to colur the rows and column?
