Currently I am creating a Access Program that will search a list of records and then display the results of the search at the bottom of the screen in a sub form. What I want to be able to do is display the results of the subform into a report. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. Coding is not my forte so feel free to dumb it down for me. I was thinking I would need to create string and then do
str = ???
DoCmd OpenReport "Panel", acpreviewnormal , , str
For this example my main table is called panel
Contains fields such as MO, Qty, date, name, contractor, etc.
My subform is called panels it also contains the same information. So what do i need to make my str = ??? work? I am confused. Anyways thanks for the help. Bye.

I figured out how to make it display a single field that a searched for by just doing
sti = " [MO] = " & me.qMO
but that doesn't truly display what is on the sub form. Secondly what happens if I search for multiple fields. It won't take that into account? For example I might want to search for a MO and a job code. How do I make it output the results of that search? I could attach my current database if needed.

Hi Soundman,
PM me with your email address and I'll send you a small db that I put together for newbies which might prove useful for you in your learning escapades. It handles searching in combination with other fields using wildcard and reporting from a subform. Adding new records when not in the db from the same search screen. The report considers whatever the subform holds and reports out based on that. There is an output to excel method in there and a few other techniques all of which you can rip apart and learn from.
Regards
Jim

Hi,
I am working on a genealogy form. The only table (so far) lists everybody
in the family, one record per person. Each record has an autonum ID.
The parent form (frmMainForm) displays the data in each record, which
includes the ID of the father and the mother (who also have records in the
table). One record per form.
I have a Tab Control in the form, and in one of the tabs I have a subform
(sfmSiblings) in which I wish to list...

Hi,
I have two very similar forms each with a subform. The main form gets
a few fields from the user and passes this back to a query that the
subform is bound to. The requery is done when the user enters the
last qualifying field on the main form.
In one case this works fine, the subform shows the data the user wants
to update -- which means showing all the data put in previously (ie
showing this via the requery and the continuous...

Hello
I am trying to pass the name of my subform to a function/sub but I can't
seem to get it to work. I am using an autokey function (ctrl E) to unlock
text boxes on a subform. I have a few forms in the database that will use
this function, so I need to be able to tell the code which form to unlock.
What I have is as follows:

Hi,
I have a 'main' form called frmIssues which has a subform control
(named linkIssuesDrug) containing the subform sfrmLink_Issues_Drugs.
A control button on the main form opens a pop-up form which allows me
to edit the record in the subform. What I want to happen is for
subform with the new edits to be updated on the main form when I close
the popup. I'm sure this is a very small bit of code in the the 'On
close' event for the popup...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

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,...
