Exporting Reports

JamesDC

Hey all,

I have many reports in the form of graphs in my database (Access 2002) that can be altered using the options on the forms. I looked on the MSOffice site and they give a really complicated way to export reports to say Excel or PowerPoint. I was wondering is there an easier way, or a way to automate this process?

Since it requires people to go into the workings of the DB to copy out a graph, if there is no simpler way I'll just have to recommend that they use Print Screen and then cut the picture of the graph out of the picture and paste it into whatever application they need it in :S.

Thanks,
James

If I need a report in a powerpoint presentation I usually take a screenshot using Ctrl and Print Scrn. This can then be pasted into powerpoint as an image and like any image can be cropped or resized.

That seems to be the easiest way. I found some old boards on this site with advice, but its mostly out of date. The complicated Miscrosoft way seems to be the only way to fully export a graph report :(.

I'll just stick to print screening and image croping.

The M$ way usually involves retaining a link between the applications and this can easily get corrupted if someone changes the data or somehow breaks the link.

Does anyone know if the exporting ability of Access has been improved in the 2007 version? My company JUST upgraded to 2002, so It'll be another 20 years before they update to 2007, I'm just curious.

Honestly haven't played with it yet. Too busy, will have to get to it soon.

Hi all, I've seen this noted in many posts, but nothing I've checked out gives me any clue on how to do this. Basically as my topic says, I have a DTS and I simply need to export some data from a table in MS SQL 2000 to an Excel spreadsheet. I also need to automate this process so it can run nightly and each new day a new spreadsheet will be on a network share for us to pick-up.

Is it possible to export a report to word and have it include the graphics that are in the report? I'd like to take some of our reports and export them to word so we can email those to the client, but when I export, I lose the logo as well as any graphics (grey line separaters, etc) and only get the text of the reports.

I'm having trouble with exporting reports to Word in the rtf format and I'm hoping someone has a solution. The reports are losing their formats. Not all the formating is lost but some is and of course it's the really important parts that are lost. In one report the grouping is lost and everything gets repeated. I've created several reports that pull data from various tables then they get exported to Word when they're run so the user can...

Hi, When exporting a report to Word - all the formatting is exported with no problems, with ONE exception. Check boxes that show up in the reports are missing. When exported to Word, I don't see the blank check boxes or the checked boxes that show up in the Report. Any ideas?

I am exporting my report to an html file using Crystal Reports. I have set the following properties: htmlOpts.HTMLBaseFolderName = @"C:\Temp\"; htmlOpts.HTMLFileName = "MyTest.html"; My file ends up in a temp folder (temp_187cb3f0-60bf-4ea7-a0f7-651a1bb0feb3) which gets created in C:\Temp. Also, it ends up having a .htm extension instead of .html. How can I avoid having this extra folder created and get the correct extension?

In order to save typing, I've borrowed the text from a post of nearly 12 months ago.....but the problem still exists. I've been banging my head all day with this, so I'm hoping someone has some suggestions for me: I'm trying to either print or export some Crystal Reports in asp.net web application. The reports were made with CR 9.0, get their data from an SQL Server 2000 database.

The short of it: If you needed to import a CSV file of a certain structure on a regular basis(say 32 csv files, each to one a table in 32 databases), what would be your first instinct on how to set this up so as to do it reliably and minimize overhead? There are currently no constraints on the destination table. Assume the user or some configuration specifies the database name, server name, and filename+fullpath. The server is SQL...

When I try exporting a report in Rich Text Format or Email it, some my data is altered. Additionally, when I try “emailing” the same thing happens. One of my reports with was landscape orientation showed up through the email as portrait orientation, but when I hit “print” it came out landscape! This is weird. Can you tell me something about this?

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,...
