I am designing a report that shows product id, description and then quantities and dollar values for 7 different regions plus total quantity and total dollars for each product row) and also sums every column (all the quantities and dollar values). This report gets exported to a .rtf file and then emailed to various people. My current setup has the report being 22-inches wide. In Access, it shows up perfectly in Report View (product id, description, and regions 1-4 quantities and dollars on one page and regions 5-7 plus the total section on the other). When it exports it to a .rtf, it doesn't show the second page (unless you are in draft mode in Word).
I am looking for an easy way or some type of direction to have everything display correctly when exported. I've been playing around with layout, spacing, and page breaks but it either ends up displaying each individual product on separate pages or takes an enormous amount of time to load the formatted page (which doesn't work for my user). I have also tried using a subreport but get the same results as what I was doing with the page breaks.
Any help or direction is greatly appreciated!
I found out that there is a problem when I have something like report package (multiple page report.) What I did with my situation is I spit to one page report. Say Region 1-7, I have 7 reports. And use Loop to run, save, or pint it all. You may end up with 7 rtf file to email.
Other option is using MailMerge. You can do all the report in MS Words instead of in Access report. So you create say, 7-page template for all regions and added MailMerge fields in it. Then run it.
hope this help.

I'm working on auto generated word documents that consist of multiple test reports.
I want to automatically create a table of contents where one entry refers to one report.
But I can't simply use headings because each entry should contain info that is not on one line in the report.
Something like this:
No.
Test Id
Description
Result
Page number
1
ANZ-131QZXY
UV Light test
Passed
3
2
ANZ-132QYXX
Heat resistence test
Failed
8
I know how I can retrieve the information from the individual reports in VBA but I got stuck on how to generate the table. Is it even possible to add entries manually to a ToC without a heading existing?
PS: I use Word 365 and it's important that the ToC will work when saving the document as PDF.
I am using Access 2013 and I am trying to create a chart report on one of my reports based on a table. There are about 30 fields in this table. The first field ID is auto number and there is another Customer ID which is set to number, the rest are all "long text" (such as name, review and etc) When I went to the form design and created the chart, at the step which it asked me to choose the fields I need, there were only two available fields - ID and customer ID - available, none of the rest popped up(like the customer name and other stuff)
Is there anything I did wrong? I recall I have made this happen in the old version. And I also realized that there is no pivotchart or table view options in 2013 anymore. Is this because the version thing please/
Thanks, any help and advice will be appreciated.
Do you really need more than 255 Characters for fields such as Customer Name? I think you need to change the datatypes of the fields you would like to include in the chart. Think about a field in a chart that used the max of a long text field.
From the MS Office website "In Access web apps, the Long Text field can store up to 2^30-1 bytes"
My guess is that access does not allow Long Text fields to appear in charts because of the most logic use case for charts, which does not involve the possibility of using a field that is THAT big.
Anyway, try fitting your data in short text fields. If that is too small, then here is a link to increase the size of your short text fields to 4000
I am still fairly new to SSRS, and I do not know what I need to/can provide as examples to help clarify my issue.
I am developing an SSRS report that accesses a NAV database and generates a report for an equipment number. My task is to generate a master report that can print multiple of those kind of reports(currently 10 max). I am using sub-reports to get the content that I need for an equipment number.
I am looking for a way to make this dynamic, where I can generate 1 to n sub-reports based on how many values were picked for the multi-value parameter. The end result should be one PDF file that contains the full report for each equipment number listed. I am trying to only use SSRS.
I have seen where I could hide sub-reports then make them visible if a condition is met, but this isn't the functionality that I am looking to use. So, what would be the best way to dynamically generate sub-reports based on a multi-value parameter?
I figured it out. I made the sub-report parameter equal no value. I made the main report with a parameter that can select multiple equipment numbers, a list, and a data set which filtered down to the appropriate equipment numbers to avoid duplication. I made the sub-report object in the main take in the cell value from the list equipment number. When the list proceeded to the next row, it copied all of the objects in the box area.
I'm a bit of a noob with crystal reports so be as detailed as possible.
I'm working with two fields in a report, "CRD_NAME", and "CREDIT_CARD_AMOUNT". I can right click the former to browse data and see the credit card types: AMEX, VISA, DISCVR, and MASTER. When I drag this field out to the report, it will only display one value (currently "AMEX").
When I place the Credit_card_amount field under this, it will properly display AMEX totals for that day. Browsing data on this field shows all of the CC totals, and I'm not sure how to associate them with a card type.
What I'm looking to accomplish, is to have CRD_NAME repeated in 4 columns, displaying the different CC types, and the correlating totals under each one. Do I need to create multiple parameters for each field and what I want it to represent?
Any clues would be much appreciated :)
Your best bet might be to create a "Cross Tab" crystal report. When you create a new crystal report, cross tab is one of the options.
Within vb.net we've got a report that works great it has it's header/footer details then then a table in the middle which repeats data and all of that is fine.
But what the client wants now is for another button named 'Print Individual' and this will print the same report but instead of the repeated data within the table for each of those rows to be a single row on a page with the same header/footer.
So for example on the first report if there is one page with 5 rows of details the 'Print Individual' report will print the same but have 5 pages and 1 row per report. If that makes sense :-)
Obviously if I can do it where we use the same report instead of maintaing two reports would be good, as the report has a lot of information on it. Any ideas?
I ended up creating a new report and using the list box tool.
