static content in Access Report

3 New Member
Hello,

I am building an access report that is essentially a form letter that I will automatically fax to the recipient when a button is clicked on a form.

I have the form, faxing issues totally solved, however I can not figure out how to create lots of static content on a report. The dynamic content is the company name, address, etc in the header then 5 rows of pricing in the detail section. Now I need to add about 2 pages of text...(like a word doc) When I try to do this, the text seems to just fold to the next page no matter where I put the text or how I break it into small text boxes.

Does this make sense? If anyone has experience with this, I would appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Scott

In the Report design go to the menu bar and go to Insert - Object. When the wizard opens tick the Create New option and go down the list until you reach Microsoft Word. This will open a word document on your report where you can insert all your body text.

When you close this it will appear on your form as a very large text box.

I understand it's easy to list all saved queries of a given Access database via Msysobjects system table. However, I have not seen any posting over this NG or other similar ones that also include SQL statement(content) of these queries, though I've noticed some VB code for that. Is that because it's simply impossible to get a query content (not query resultset) from a SQL stmt? Thanks in advance.

I'm a little confused with "static" methods and how to access other unstatic methods. I'm a little new to C#.

Hi all! There are a few memo fields in my report, with variable amounts of possible content. How can I make the height of the box dependent of the content inside it? I already tried to figure out the information on http://www.mvps.org/access/reports/rpt0010.htm, but it was quite complicated. Is there an easier way to solve my problem?
