I have an ms Access form that is linked to query.
The query depends on a control on another form to filter the data
I set the view of the form to be Data Sheet View to have the capabilities of filtering and sorting.
The form at start responds to the Requery command correctly.
When filter is applied to the data it keeps responding to the Requery command
When the filter is removed it stops responding to the Requery command. Command is executed normally without any error but displayed data doesn't respond to the change.
I run the underlying query at the same time and it responds well.
When applying any filter again the response returns to normal again
Do any one have a clue about this problem?
I am using Ms Access 2019 64bit (integrated with Office 365 package)
Here is sample database link to clarify the problem. Run frmMain and follow the steps on the right to replicate the problem
DemoDB
For anybody dropping here I had an answer from Microsoft Community as follows (related to shared demo sample):
Change the code for the button Check8 to:
Private Sub Check8_Click()
If Me.frmSubSub.Form.Filter = "" Then
frmSubSub.Form.RecordSource = frmSubSub.Form.RecordSource
Else
frmSubSub.Form.Requery
End If
End Sub
This worked fine for me despite the demo shows there is a bug in MsAccess to deal with this situation.

I made Access Form which was working fine in Access 2013 and Access 2007 until I add some new features(I don't remember what) to it.
After adding them, it keeps giving me error "Unrecognize file format" when I try to run it in Access 2007. Meanwhile it runs fine in Access 2013.
I want to ask if there exists some software to convert Access 2013 file to Access 2007? Or is there any way make it compatible to 2003? When I Save As 2003 file it don't because of some added features.
Please help!
You could try using Access' Application.SaveAsText in 2013 and Application.LoadFromText in 2003.
Even if this doesn't work directly, if you have an older version that does work, you could compare the differences between the text files the two versions of Access produce, as SaveAsText produces (for the most part) human readable output; the only unreadable parts are typically images.
I've had this happen to me during development on A2010 and deployment on A2007. The possibilities are explained on this page. It is likely that you added an Empty Cell control to a form that had a VBA module (or added a module to a form with an Empty Cell control). I did this unknowingly by inserting a row into the AutoHeader that is created in forms by the Form Wizard.
Follow the steps at the bottom row of Table 2 to rectify this.
I have updated the SP for the attached dataset that the tablix is using. The refresh worked fine and I can see my new fields in the shared data set when I look in the Fields tab. My problem is the tablix itself is not giving me access to the new fields. There is a disconnect somewhere and I cannot figure out hot to get the tablix to see the updated fields available in the dataset. I run into this problem frequently and hope I can get a good answer here to return to in the future as I am sure I will need to. I have googled and looked through the suggested questions here and I cannot find one that is directly related to this issue.
I will also know note that the report project is in TFS source control as I read that has some adverse side affects. I have marked the whole project for edit and also went to the folder structure and made sure everything was unset to read only.
I am using SSRS 2008 in VS 2010.
Just found it... I don't understand the need for hidden menus like this..
Click the report itself, then go up to View on the menu and at the very bottom there is "Report Data". From here you can select your dataset and go to its properties and refresh the reports attached dataset's fields. What a pain in the butt.
Here is a link that helps better explain it.

You can also delete the .data file if you still can't get it to refresh.
Go into the file folder where the .rdl file exists
Next to it, there should be a file with the same name with the
.rdl.data extensions. Delete this file.
It appears to force the refresh probably because it has to recreate the file.
Here's a less invasive way but may not always work:
In the Report Data windown, right click on you dataset and click
Dataset Properties like so:
Click Refresh Fields near the bottom right of the Dataset Properties
window:
After changing the Stored Procedure code, without changing the name and number of fields returned, I could only get the report to seemingly call the new format of the stored procedure by clicking the Refresh button in the report's Preview tab.
Go into your solution folder, where the rdl's are stored and delete .rdl.data file for your report.
Next time you'll run the report, new rdl.data file will be created and it will have all the new fields from the updated SP.
ok, this maybe an older thread, but I kept running into the same problem on occasion. The absolutely easiest way to fix this is adding the following line of code to the beginning of the stored procedure that produces your dataset for the report:
SET FMTONLY OFF;
Happy coding :)
I ran into a very similar issue:
Added a new field to an existing SQL table function
(With some difficulty) added the new field to the existing dataset in SSRS
Spent some time unsuccessfully trying to add the new fields to the table (tablix?) in design mode.
This didn't work for me so eventually I opened the particular report file [filename].rdl in a text editor and surprise surprise it was XML. It was easy enough to add the missing field manually, and visual studio then prompted me to refresh the report.
<DataSets>
<DataSet Name="DataSet1">
...
<Fields>
<!-- add new field at this level -->
<Field Name="[newfield]">
<DataField>Email</DataField>
<rd:TypeName>System.String</rd:TypeName>
</Field>
</Fields>
</DataSet>
</DataSets>
I am having exact same issue in VS 2012. The stored procedure used as a query will not allow to refresh fields. When the button is pressed nothing happens.
The only solution I found is to flip the Query Type to Text and provide the parameter values on the exec call to the SP.
Why do we have to put up with these obvious show stopper bugs?
Had the same issue and I was able to resolve it by renaming my dataset in properties, creating a new dataset with the original name, and then hitting the refresh button.
Old thread, but I ran into this using VS 2015 and SSMS 2016. I was certain it was an issue with VS. When I went back to SSMS and tried executing my stored procedure, however, I found that passing certain parameter values would cause the query to fail. Interestingly, I was able to ALTER the stored procedure without encountering any errors. (Perhaps because some combinations of parameters wouldn't result in a failure?)
Anyways, at the end of the day it was faulty coding in my sproc that was causing the fields in SSRS not to refresh. When I went back and corrected the issues with my code, everything worked as expected in VS.
I am working in Visual Studio 2015 and none of the above answers worked for me. If you are getting the data from a stored procedure, you need to open the .xsd file and right click on the data model. Select Configure, and the correct values from the procedure should appear on the right of the window.
Then refresh your dataset from the Report Data tab.
I had the same issue.
I installed SP1 so that .rdl.data file would get generated which inturn also fixed the data refresh issue.

I was trying to use an ODBC driver for the datasource that connected ok, but wouldn't show Fields in VS 2015 SSRS report. I went back and used a datasource based on SQL Server driver (it's in the choices when designing a datasource) and it worked perfectly.
I had this same issue but the cause was different from the other answers at the time of this writing.
In my case, the stored procedure used as the data source was returning multiple data sets (due to some debugging code that I had left in there).
SSRS was "seeing" the fields in the first dataset, whereas I was expecting it to see the fields in the second dataset.
Removing the extraneous datasets fixed the issue and SSRS was able to see the fields that I intended.
Clearing reportviewer's datasources works for me.
this.(reportviewername).LocalReport.DataSources.Clear();
Open the Visual Studio 2008 reports solution
Open (double click) your report (.rpt file) on left pane
Press Ctrl + Alt + D to open the Report Data panel
Expand the DataSets folder
Find the report's main data set and right click the "DataSet Properties" menu
Click the "Refresh Fields" button on the popup window.
Deleting .data no work for me. Deleting Dataset and adding again worked. And I had previously configured VS/SSRS to NOT cache.
refresh and deleting .data did not work for me. So I just manually added the fields.
i am trying to make a form design in Ms Access 2010, for that firstly entered fields into Access Table. Then try to
Create->Form Wizard
Actually my table is too big, so form wizaed is not creating the form . Also i want divide this form into separate parts. I tried "Tabs". But My problem is that when i take the printout of form i want actually get the full form in one print. If i use Tab, that is not possible. How can i solve this problem.
Thank You All
You can use tabs if this is working for you and also create a report that includes all the fields that you need to print out. This report can be activated by a Print button.
I have coded a MS Access 2000 report that displays a calendar with one month per page and projects added to particular days. The only data in the underlying record source is a list of months. The structure is created via the On Page event, which also reads in other data.
When this report is opened, I've noticed that the On Page event does not seem to be triggered for the first page. (I attribute this to the fact that On Page in reports is activated when a page is cached rather than when a page is displayed, such as On Current for Access forms.)
When the report is displayed my work around is to use the On Activate event to force the On Page subroutine to run even though that event has not been called. However when the report is exported it does not trigger the On Activate event and the first page of the export is in one of two formats:
1) if the report was open in Access (ie On Activate had been triggered previously) the first page is identical to either the page after the one being displayed or the last page, except with the correct month (which comes from the underlying record source)
2) if the report was not open in Access the first page contains just the structure within the report design view (ie lots of empty boxes)
My best workaround is to force a (otherwise pointless) cover page to ensure the first page contains nothing that needs code to run, but this is far from ideal. Can I force the code to run for the first page of an export? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding how On Page works and I need to restructure my code? (I've also noticed that On Page seems to run twice for the last page).
I would recommend restructuring your code so that you build your data in one query, multiple queries, or in VBA, and then open the report with the new datasource. I might still have Access 2000 at home to check, but at work I can test both 2003 and 2007, and in both versions, the OnPage event fired before each page was displayed. If you are experiencing different behavior, I suspect it's because Access isn't sure how to handle what you are asking it to do.
Typically a report like the one you are describing would be designed the other way around: the datasource for the report would contain all the project information. Is there something about the data you're trying to display that prevents you from building a query that would contain all of it?
Have you considered the Format event for the various sections, especially the Detail section? Format or Print are a more usual events for manipulating reports.
