I have a report which is based on a macro. Macro is serieas of open queries and a single open report query. When I run this report from my switchboard form it gives me the following series of errors.
First it says
"Please wait a moment while queries are run. The report will open automatically.Click ok to continue.
When I hit "OK", there appears an "Action Failed" dialogue box, which has only one activated button called "Halt", which says the Macro Name
Condition = true
Action Name = Open Query
Arguments:
QueryName, Datasheet, Edit

When I click on Halt, it gives me error like "There was an error executing command"

Please help me where to look to fix this error.

Thanks in advance!!

Reposting your question with more exclamation points is not going to help you. Providing more information, like the contents of your macro, may help.

Just FYI. I reposted because I thought that the experts might not have seen my earlier post. I already reported your answer to the admin for being so rude.

  1. CHipR wasn't being rude, he was merely pointing out problems with your post
  2. Double posting violates the rules here as well as all other forums. If you feel a thread has moved too far down the queue to receive attention, the proper thing to do id to add a post to your thread, simply saying "bump." This will bring it back up to the top of the queue.
  3. You still haven't provided us with adequate information in order for us to help you.
You also need to take the time to read the Posting Guidelines that apply to this forum, paying special attention to the sections on Double Posting and asking a clearly defined question.

re: Action Failed Error


There are various things that would be considered rude Jinal.

Using foul language would be one. Failing to respond when someone has taken the time and effort to reply to a thread you post would be another. Criticism is not in itself rude. I see no rudeness here other than your lack of respect for people's time. You have not even had the courtesy to respond to Linq's post clarifying the situation for your benefit. I really don't see that you are in any position to lecture anyone on their manners after wasting the time of at least three of us, not to mention those others who would have looked into it to check that all was well.

Please ensure that you follow the guidelines in future and post questions that can be answered intelligently.

It really is good to have you back!

Thanks Linq.

Just going through the reported posts here (moved on since).

Most are obviously ignorable (obviously attempts to reply to the thread) but some need to be chased just in case.
