I'd like to perform some conditional formatting in the OnFormat Event of my
Parent Report. This works fine, until my subreports are blank, then the
invalid references start happening. I understand why, but can't figure out
how to trap/prevent these. I tried using the hasdata property, but this also
gives me an invalid reference. Arrrrrgh.

Jordan,
First, don't use OnFormat, use OnPrint. There are lots of sources
that will explain why.
Second, (maybe first in importance) check the order of events for
reports in the help file.
Also, I would investigate these:
* put each subreport in its own section
* set the section.visible = false if the subreport is blank
* check the section.visible property and don't fire the code for
that section if it is not visible
* make sure you are not referencing *anything* which could refer to
a subreport that isn't there outside the scope of the subreport
HTH,
Elaine

I've recently had a nasty problem with the "Invalid reference to the
property Form" error in subforms - nasty because it doesn't seem to
consistently happen to all forms which contain the same structure and code.
Judging by the forums I've researched, it's not an uncommon error. I'm happy
to say I've found a simple solution.
OVERVIEW: I have a main form (no record source) which contains two subforms.
The subforms are not linked, but...

I am using MS Access 2000. I have created a table of contents for a report,
and I am updating the pages in the OnFormat Event (I don't want to do it on
the OnPrint because they may be viewing it more than printing it) The
OnFormat Event does not seem to fire when you display the report in
PrintPreview unless you physically forward through the report pages to the
end. According to the documentation, the onFormat event should execute on...

Hi,
I am going round in circles...
I am trying to produce a report based upon the information gathered
into a temp table.
Each column (stored as a text field) in the table holds weekly
information but each row may contain different information - ie.,
currency, text, percentages.
I have added an extra field to determine the format type.

Hi
I have posted this question several times but have received no reply. I have
a main form which contains a panel which in turn contains a child form, like
this; MainForm->MyPanel->ChildForm. The question is; how can I, from the
child form, get a reference to the main form? If I try to do dim frm as new
mainform then I get reference to a second instance of the mainform which is
not the same as the original instance of the mainform.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
