VBA Report Recordsource problem

4 New Member
Hey,

I'm trying to assign to a report recordsource a variable name but I keep getting a message that the database isn't recognizing the control name.

The name of the report is BusinessUnitPro ductMeeting and this is how I'm referencing it in my VBA code in a Report_open procedure:

Reports!Busines sUnitProductMee ting!Controls!R ecordsource = rpt_recordsourc e

What is wrong with the way I have that statement formed?

This is being done with VBA 6.3 on a Access 2002 db runtime error 2465 "can't find the field 'Controls' referred to in your expression"

Thanks

Hi,

In fact you don't specify for which control you set up the control source! If it's for all the report you don't need to use this line:

Reports!Busines sUnitProductMee ting!Controls!R ecord source = rpt_recordsourc e


but this one:

Reports!Busines sUnitProductMee ting.Record source = rpt_recordsourc e

:)

I can't move a multi-page report to the last record unless I keep the popup form (that defined it's subreports) open. DoCmd.OpenReport "rptStandard", acViewNormal DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmReportOptions" <== popup form This is the error I get when I try to move to the last page of the report *after* closing the popup: "This expression is typed incorectly, or is too complex to be evaluate...."

Hi there, I am working with a report whose recordsource is a query based off of a sql table. We are assigning the recordsource at runtime through code rather than the recordsource property of the report(We are using a SQL stored procedure to fill the table, the stored procedure is called through an ADO string). The problem is, whenever the table contains over 3000 records or so, the data does not display on the form(the report is about...

This one really has me going. Probably something silly. I'm using dcount for a report to determine the number of different types of tests proctored in a semester. My report is based on a parameter query which is the recordsource for the report. The parameter is <=. The query returns the correct amounts upto the date entered (no need for "between" dates here). There are 8 textboxes with dcounts; 2 other boxes Sum some of these

When I open an Access form I can have no recordset specified, then in the form's OnOpen event I can do something like: Me.paramaters = "@SomeColumn = 22)" Me.recordsource = "dbo.sproc123" But I can't do this in a report as it will prompt me for the parameters, even though they seem to be defined ahead of the recordsource. I have worked around this by opening reports to a bogus recordsource

Hello, I have a report which uses a subreport. When I run the report, I get "Enter Parameter Value" error message for "tblGuestRoom". I click ok and the report seems to work fine.

I've got a report that's not sorting correctly. I build a SQL statement and assign it to the recordsource in the Open event, sorting the data the way the user chooses. The user can choose up to 3 sorts using a form that opens before the report opens. When the report previews, it ignores the users' sort request and always sorts by the primary key even though ORDER BY is explicity set to another field other than primary key. If I copy...

When I open a certain report, it runs some code that generates the records that will be displayed in that report. This works fine. When I go to print preview the report it appears that the code is run again? This is causing certain error problems. 1 Why does the code run for a print preview when the report already exists? 2 What command do I use in code to find out if a report (or any other object for that matter) is already...
