Can't get second table data to show in report

114 New Member
I have a Report that uses a master table and has been working ok. Now I need to add some data from a second table called locations.

The master table has a column named loc_code, and the locations table has a primary key named loc_code. I checked and the relationship of the two tables and it looks to be fine.

Now I need to show the loc-name, loc_addr, etc from the locations table on this report. Not sure how this is done with Report in Access. How do I use the loc_id in the master table to match to loc_id in the locations table and use column data on this Report.

When creating the text box on the report, do I use the expression builder in the control source of the properties for each column that I want to place on the report or is there another way to accomplish this.

Thanks for any help and are there any examples someone could point me to.

You need to create a query where the two tables are linked and use that query as the source of your report.
If you need precise help with this you will need to post the MetaData for your tables - at least the relevant parts.
EG.
Table Name=Master
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Field; Type; IndexInfo
  2. StudentID; AutoNumber; PK
  3. Family; String; FK
  4. Name; String
  5. University; String; FK
  6. Mark; Numeric
  7. LastAttendance; Date/Time

Hi, I created application that I get information from AS400 for reporting. In main.exe has only 1 frm which calls (as a class library) CLS_MAIN.dll. The CLS_MAIN.dll get the tables from AS400 and stores it in Dataset. Then returns to main frm then main frm calls the FirstReport.dll. The FirstReport.dll get the information from access database and creates the sqkl string and works with dataset and then writes in pre-formated Excel sheet.

Access97 Database The database is split into a frontend and backend and not connected to any other database. The database has an unbound report with 15 subreports. Some of the subreports include Excel charts in unbound object frames. When I add 3 additional subreports, I get the error message that Access can't open any more databases. Can anyone suggest what may be causing the error message. Thanks!

We have a database that reads in and formats raw data. We were using queries to format the data per person and outputing reports. The other database has the persons personal information. I changed the queries on the raw data to maketables, copied the reports into the personal info database and they have the reports from the raw data available for the reports. NOW they want the reports to be displayed as a new tab in the forms. I am not...

There are several hundred queries, for example, with no indication of where they are used or if they are in fact...

Ok' I have 2 tables. The first being my main table where each record has a 'FigureID' txt box. (Indexed - No duplicates) The second being my sub table where reporting is entered for these Figures. Sometimes more than one at a time. I have 4 'FigureID' txt boxes on this subtable.(All Indexed - Duplicates OK) When I set the Master/Child link for the first FigureID on the Subtable I have no problems.
