Hi guys,
I'm in need of a little help with a report I'm setting up on Access
2000. The report shows data depending on entries on a form that has 7
fields (Min and Max Cost, Fiscal Year, Min and Max Award Dates,
Reviewer, Engineer). Some of these fields may have wild card
characters (*) and some real data in them. The problem I have is when
the user hits the Go button I need to have some text fields on the
report show data from the input form or if a wild card character was
used then the relevant text field on the report should display the
message "All Reviewers" (or something to that effect.
The form itself will stay open in the background so there shouldn't be
any problems pulling data from it but I need some help on, a) how to
get the data from the form to the report, and b) how to have the
report read the wild card characters that may be contained on the
report and substitute the relevant text in place of them.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
All the best, Dean...

Lacking more specific information, the following general suggestion is
likely all I can offer: In the Open event of the Report, you can retrieve
the entries from the Form that is still open, and use VBA code to construct
the SQL/Query to use as the RecordSource of the Report.
(And, if you did provide necessary detail, I'm not sure whether some might
consider that they would be "developing your database for you for free" --
both SQL and VBA are subjects that require some study and effort.)

Hmmm, interesting,
I came here under the belief that this is a group dedicated to helping
others look for solutions to problems that they have in Access/SQL.
If I was looking for someone to "developing your database for you for
free" then I probably wouldn't be looking for just help with a single
problem. What I did ask was if anyone could help with a single report
out of the 49 other reports that currently exist in that database and
the single form out of the other 47 that exist in that database that I
have already developed along with over 120 queries, 31 tables, 19
modules and 12 macros. I apologise if this was too much to ask of a
community that "prides" itself on helping other with less knowledge
but the only reason I asked is that this task has recently been passed
to me and there is a very imminent deadline.
Once again, I apologise and will no longer use this forum.
Many thanks.

No need to get your feelings hurt and act all snippy.
Are you conversant in SQL and VBA? That is, I am certain, what it will take
to address your problem. If you provide me the name of the Form, the name
of the Controls, the name of the Fields to which the information applies,
and how it applies, and the SQL of the basic Query, and I write you a few
lines of code that construct the simple WHERE clause for one or two of the
criteria, will that be meaningful to you?
To be honest, from your question, it was not clear that it would be.
This newsgroup IS here to provide help, and we do (a number of us have
provided thousands of answers), and sometimes even code. If you can, in
fact, make use of and extend the VBA code, provide the details of what you
have and we will see what we can do to help.

Hello,
I have a situation with MS Access 2000 in which I need to display report
data in spreadsheet orientation (much like a datasheet view for a form). If
you think of the report in terms of what a spreadsheet might show, the
column names will actually be dynamic, based on data from a SQL Server 2000
database. The row data will also come from the same database. So in this
case, I will have a main report and a subreport. I've already tried...
