I am trying to pass some text to a formula field in a Crystal Report.
Formula field name is txtShopName.
shopName is a variable and it has the value of "TORCH-MINIMALL". I use VB.net to view the report and pass the parameter value as follows. However, I get an error when trying to view the report. (Image attached)
What could be the reason?. Is there any specific way which I have to create the formula field in the report?.
Dim crepBill As New repBill
crepBill.SetDatabaseLogon("sa", dbPwd)
crepBill.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Item("txtShopName").Text = shopName
crepBill.RecordSelectionFormula = "{TB_SALES.bill_no} ='" & "B000002" & "'"
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crepBill
CrystalReportViewer1.Zoom(100)
CrystalReportViewer1.Refresh()
CrystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport()
Following line sets the formula to TORCH-MINIMALL while it should be "TORCH-MINIMALL"
crepBill.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Item("txtShopName").Text = shopName
To add the double quotes, change the code as follows:
crepBill.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Item("txtShopName").Text = """" & shopName & """"
Or you could also use single qoutes, as Crystal Reports support both:
crepBill.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Item("txtShopName").Text = "'" & shopName & "'"
If showing a text is the only purpose of the formula-field, then one can also use a parameter-field.
The value of a parameter-field can be set as follows:
crepBill.SetParameterValue("nameOfTheParameterField", shopName)

I have a main menu where users type in a name of a station (text box) and the name of a cohort (text box) and it would open a new form based on these values. For example, if "New York" was entered for a station and "1b" was entered for cohort, then the form would filter to only show data that have both. However, I am getting a data mismatch error.
The fields text boxed at my main menu are called "detailed_s_station" and "detailed_s_cohort". The names of the respective fields in the form I want to filter these values are called "station" and "cohort".
I can get this to work if there are only one set of criteria (e.g., if I just search for the cohort or just search for the station), however something is going on with my AND here. Any help is appreciated to help me get rid of this data mismatch error.
Private Sub Command41_Click()
Dim stDocName22 As String
Dim stLinkCriteria22 As String
stDocName22 = "frm_scans"
stLinkCriteria22 = "[station] ='" & Me![detailed_s_station] & "'" And "[cohort] ='" & Me![detailed_s_cohort] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName22, , , stLinkCriteria22, acFormEdit, acWindowNormal
End Sub
The problem that you are having is how you are joining the string together. Instead try:
Private Sub Command41_Click()
Dim stDocName22 As String
Dim stLinkCriteria22 As String
stDocName22 = "frm_scans"
stLinkCriteria22 = "[station] ='" & Me![detailed_s_station] & "' And [cohort] ='" & Me![detailed_s_cohort] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName22, , , stLinkCriteria22, acFormEdit, acWindowNormal
End Sub
If you ever have problems like this in future, a quick Debug.Print strLinkCriteria22 would show you the contents of the string that is causing problems.

I am learning about how to create a searchbox with combo box. I was learning with a video in youtube :
Access: How to Create Search Form Using Combo box Part 1
However, when I do my code it doesn't work. :/ I get the Run-Time error 3075 Access Syntax Error.
Private Sub cboVendorSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim MyVendor As String
MyVendor = "Select * from Vendors where ([vend_name] = " & Me.cboVendorSearch & ")"
Me.Invoices_subform.Form.RecordSource = MyVendor
Me.Invoices_subform.Form.Requery
End Sub
Assuming vend_name is a text field, need apostrophe delimiters.
MyVendor = "SELECT * FROM Vendors WHERE [vend_name] = '" & Me.cboVendorSearch & "';"
Instead of setting RecordSource, an alternative is to set Filter property.
Me.Invoices_subform.Form.Filter = "[vend_name] = '" & Me.cboVendorSearch & "'"
Me.Invoices_subform.Form.FilterOn = True
Would probably be better to use vendor ID for search criteria. Explore multi-column combobox where the ID field is a hidden column but combobox uses the hidden column for its Value yet displays vend_name to user.
I have a textbox, which is presenting data from one field in selected recordset. This field contains comments made by user in Excel file, which is later imported to Access table. Each comment is made in separete line and in each it looks ok. Textbox present it as one line, but when I export it to Excel again it looks ok in that new excel.
I have tried changing textbox into rich text format. I have also create other textbox, in which I am able to insert comments and then it looks good.
Textbox source code:
sSql = SELECT LogID, 1Comment, 2Comment, Author
sSql = sSql & " FROM tblGeneralLog"
sSql = sSql & " WHERE LogID= " & Me.ID &
Forms![frmMain_CommentAdd]![txtboxComment2].Value = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSql).Fields(2).Value
Probably, in Excel you don't have a "full new line" (CR + LF). Thus, try:
Forms![frmMain_CommentAdd]![txtboxComment2].Value = Replace(CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSql).Fields(2).Value, vbCr, vbCrLf)
or:
Forms![frmMain_CommentAdd]![txtboxComment2].Value = Replace(CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSql).Fields(2).Value, vbLf, vbCrLf)
I have an Access 2016 Form with 5 text boxes labeled txtprod, txtpri, txtcnt, txtph, txtmfg. I also have a query for my table for the product name, price, count, phone and manufacturer fields.
In my forms 5 text boxes, I would like to be able to auto-search as you type and have my list auto-populate.
I followed these tutorials
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJLQqwMOF08
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwaRFjgwBW8
My form has a form load:
*Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim task As String
task = "SELECT * FROM pricingdata"
Me!details.RowSource = task
End Sub*
And my text box name has this event "on change"
*Private Sub txtprod_Change()
Dim task As String
task = "SELECT * FROM [pricingdata] WHERE ([Product Name] LIKE '" & Me.txtprod.Text & "');"
Me!details.RowSource = task
End Sub*
Search as I type works perfectly fine with just 1 text box. But when I add the following code to my Manufacturer text box event "on change" it doesn't work as intended.
*Private Sub txtmfg_Change()
Dim task As String
task = "SELECT * FROM [pricingdata] WHERE ([Manufacturer] LIKE '" & Me.txtmfg.Text & "');"
Me!details.RowSource = task
End Sub*
Now when I type in my Product name text box, it searched products just fine. When I start typing in my Manufacturers text box, it completely disregards anything I've put into the Product name text box and starts searching as I type only for text in the Manufacturers text box field.
How can I get this setup so all text in all 5 text box fields contribute to the search filter being applied to my list?
Something like this . . .
Private Sub ComboSelect_Change()
' You need to use String delimiters if you want to use a Text Field like:
' Me.Filter "[ATextFieldInRecordSource] = """ & Me.FilterComboBox & """"
' For a Numeric Field, use something like this:
' Me.Filter "[ANumericFieldInRecordSource] = " & Me.FilterComboBox
' Me.FilterOn = True
Me.[Customer_Query subform1].Form.Filter = "[Company_Name] Like '*" &
Replace(Me.ComboSelect.Text, "'", "''") & "*'"
Me.[Customer_Query subform1].Form.FilterOn = True
End Sub
Notice a few things:
The subform is named Customer_Query subform1’
The combobox is named ComboSelect’
Finally, the ‘like clause’ is used in combination with the wildcard character.
Like '*" & Replace(Me.ComboSelect.Text, "'", "''") & "*'"
When you type text into the combobox, the results in the subform are dynamically re-queried.
So basically I have this:
A WPF window with 1 Button (btn_Convert) and 2 TextBoxes (txtBox_StringValue and txtBox_Result).
In txtBox_StringValue I then paste in a formatted string value:
"This is a Header" & vbCrLf & "======================" & _
vbCrLf & "INFO" & vbCrLf & "======================"
Then when I click btn_Convert I would like the following to happen.
Code:
Dim tempStringValue = txtBox_StringValue.Text
txtBox_Results.Text = tempStringValue
However (obviously), when I do the above the Results TextBox just displays the string again:
"This is a Header" & vbCrLf & "======================" & _
vbCrLf & "INFO" & vbCrLf & "======================"
Instead of:
This is a Header
======================
INFO
So how do I get the value of the string and then strip the containing double-quotes so that the value when assigned acts like it was a variable value set in code, not just passing a string.
From the research I have done I am guessing that I need to use Reflection, however I am not familiar with the Reflection concept and don't know how to approach it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Reflection won't help you in this case. It sounds like what you're talking about is dynamically interpreting some VB.NET source code and output the result of executing that code to another text box. In that case you need to use the Code DOM classes to dynamically build an assembly in memory and execute it.
