I'm creating report with Visual Studio 2013. Here will be 1 report with links to other reports.
Report with links to other reports have following design:
[Name] [Description] [Instances_Count]
I need to make [Name] clickable (add action on It with link to other reports).
In preview It returning following:
One This is 1 report. 3
Two This is 2 report. 7
Three This is 3 report. 4
I need to make that If clicked on One It redirected to report with name report_1.rdl, the same If I click on Two - redirect to report_2.rdl
I need to make something like that:
Right Click on [Name] > Properties > Action > Check Go to report
And here I need to specify expression something like:
=Switch(Fields!Description.Value = "This is 1 report.", "report_1.rdl")
And this throws an error. I can open report with links, in this case name One is clickable, after clicking It redirecting to report_1.rdl, but after I click View Report (in redirected report_1.rdl) It throws following error:
An error occured during local report processing.
Error in the appliaction.
Object references not set to an instance of an object.
Have you ideas how to fix this error?
P.S. This is problem in expression. If I put link directly to any of reports It redirecting successfully. It throws an error only when I'm using this expression.
First I'd try dropping the ".rdl" portion of the report name in your expression. Then I'd make sure that the expression is located in the "specify a report" box in the action tab for the placeholder. If all else fails, try using a different method of specifying the report path.

I have a report that runs from a query. The query does use a global variable but this is not the problem but needed for the explanation. The function for the variable is:
Function Var1() As String
Var1 = strVar1
End Function
The query where statement is:
WHERE (((IIf([MinOfDueDayMin]<0,0,Int([MinOfDueDayMin]/7)+1))<Var1()+1) AND ((tblEquipment.Retired)=False))
which uses the var1 function
The criteria is on a field that is actually a calculation and that is where I think the problem starts.
The report is run for a command on another form using the following code:
strVar1 = InputBox("Enter Number of Weeks for report")
If strVar1 = "" Then Exit Sub
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptEquipPmSchedule", acViewReport
Everything works just fine
On the report I have a double click event that opens a form. This form uses part of the same query. (not the same one but two levels higher) thiS allow the user to change things so i expect to use requery for the report.
If i double click and then not even change anything and then go back to the report I have #ERROR in the fields that have the calculations
i put a me.requery in the activate event of the report. this did not work.
So I tried a work around.
When I double click the report field, i close the report and send the strVar1 value to the form that is opened. then when I close the form I reasign the strVar1 just in case it is lost be an assignment by another user (currently I am the only one using this but did it just to be sure it had the correct value.) Then I open the report again but still get the errors. I did not expect this at all. thought starting the report from scratch would certainly work. I even closed the form just after assigning strVar1.
then in final effort. When I close the form I run the exact same code:
strVar1 = InputBox("Enter Number of Weeks for report")
If strVar1 = "" Then Exit Sub
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptEquipPmSchedule", acViewReport
Which will force the user to input the value for strVal1. Even though this is not what I want but tried this for troubleshooting and I still get #ERROR.
When I run the report for a form that does not have any of the same field, no issues. When I run the report or keep it open with a requery from the form that has the same data, the report will not give the correct results. Note that if I run the query itself, the data in the query is correct.
i also tried using a number instead of Val1() in the query and got the same results.
i also tried the refresh button in the ribbon and get Unknown Function Name and all the data in the report is lost.
Anyone got any ideas??
While your textual explanation is difficult to understand the entire scope, consider re-assessing your workflow. The entire objective is to allow users to run customized criteria for reporting. And your main issue is the strVal does not persist in memory so all references to it fails.
Consider the following points:
Have users set criteria on a dedicated unbound form with button click for report where that report instance is immutable for viewing/printing only and if needed to be changed must be re-run (i.e., button re-clicked).
Access has no need for VBA's InputBox() as strVal can be an unbound textbox on this unbound form whose value remains intact for all open windows.
Have function and all its references point to form field: Form!myFormName!strValuetextbox
Because reports on pretty much any software/web app system is not used as a GUI interface to run actions, users will know if they intend to change report criteria, close current report or go back to entry point and change strVal then re-click button to re-run report.
Keep data entry/input (primary use of forms) separate from data export/output (like reports). From developer and user standpoint this compartmentalization will save you headaches down the road.
I have a form in MS Access where a lot of queries are running to calculate all kinds of numbers using user input and using other queries ouput. All of a sudden I get the error below:
Error text is:
The record source ' ' specified on this form or report does not exist.
The name of the recordsource may misspelled, the recordsource was deleted or renamed, or the recordsource exists in a different database.
In the Form or Report's design view or layout view, display the property sheet by clicking the properties button, and then set the recordsource property to an existing table or query.
I don't remember exactly what I added/removed to have caused this and I can't find where the error occurs. How can I, I guess, debug my Access Form while it's running queries?
I don't see your image as it is blocked at work.
The only one way to debug the application when errors occurs is to break the execution using the keyboard combination :
CTRL + Pause/Break
Do it when the error message appears
This obviously doesnt work if the application is compiled in a mde/accde
When the CTRL-Break doesnt work, you have to add a break point in your code.
Bring the VBA window using
ALT + F11
Open the code of your form, go in the procedure that triggers the queries, select a line of code at the beginning and add a breakpoint using F9
Then run the form, it will stop the execution on the breakpoint and show you the VBA window, continue to execute the code step-by-step using F8 until the error occurs
When ever you change the name of a table in ms access for that has drop down list, go to the design view --> property Sheet--> Row Source and change the names to the corresponding names for the drop down selection for combo selection
I have an Excel 2007 sheet with VBA user forms to get data from access. Everything works fine. Data also gets populated over VBA form but when i click on any Multi-page tab then it throws the following error (though i can see values were loaded successfully):
Run time error 35788. An Error occurred in a call to the Windows Date & time picker control
How can I fix this?
Note: I have used Me.Multipage.Value = 0 or 1 as per page index before code executes for multipage tab. e.g. before 2nd page code execution i set index as 1.
When i click over user form field name on debugging then it highlight as 12:00:00 AM & access field name shows correct date value.
Finally i got this working with little more head beating. I added Me.Multipage1.Value = 0 in the last of code & it started working. Though i think it should not have anything with error i received above but i got this working. Anyhow. Thanks.
May be this helps someone else running with same trouble.
The date time picker needs to be shown before the added value, so if you have a multi-page user form, you need to show the page containing the date time picker first.
how to get current used list name. my scnerio is: i have a list said config. i have create one column say "test" whose datatype is "Managed Metadata". now after add this column.now when i edit this item and click on icon near to "test" column one dialog is open which is webtaggig.aspx something like that.
now, i had open my custom control in this page. when page opened , my control is loaded.
now on my custom control page load i want to get the list name programatically.
can any one suggest me how can i do this?
Have a look at the SPContext object. You would need something like SPContext.Current.List.Title to get the name or title of the current list.
I added an additional, new DataSet to my report and have been getting this cryptic error ever since.
The issue was that when the report had elements setup using the first data set I'd defined when the report was created. Adding an additional data set reset the DataSetName value to be blank. In this case for my Table but it could be for a List, etc.
To correct:
Open the report in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (AKA Visual Studio)
View the object details in the Properties Window (View > Properties Window or press F4)
Check the DataSetName value (under the Data section)
Update the value to point to the correct Data Set
Examine your RDLC file, open it in a XML editor. Most specifically, take a look at the Dataset section. See if there are some old ones that are still there. You can edit this file directly, but be careful what you do.
You can also attempt to run the RDLC file through a XML validator, and see if it comes up with any errors. Make sure to validate against the RDLC file's schema. (http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition/ReportDefinition.xsd)
I had a bit of trouble finding the correct properties window that contained this value, so I will add the following:
On the Layout Tab, press F4 to bring the properties box up.
In the dropdown at the top of the properties box, find your table and select it.
You should now see that data section about halfway down, along with the DataSetName property the error is complaining about.
I know this is a decade late, but this is to possibly help the next guy that is searching the internet for answers (like me).
In SSRS, right-click any unused/white area of the report then choose Select-> and the Group level (not group level content) that you are getting the error about.
In the properties window (Menu->View->Check Properties) for the Group Level, scroll down to General the DataSetName. Select the drop down arrow and choose the original dataset.
