I have got a report with a list of names and I want to make them hyperlinks, so that when clicked on they open another report in a window showing all the entries in the database filtered under their name.
I have tried using the DoCmd.OpenRepor t command and presently it just opens the report with a blank page.
Here is the code I have at the moment for the hyperlink: -
Private Sub Name_Click()
-
DoCmd.OpenReport "Individual list", acViewPreview, , "[Name]= 'Me.Name'"
-
End Sub
-
I am sure it is just a silly error somewhere, but I cant seem to sort it!
Many thanks in advance.

DoCmd.OpenReport "Individual list", acViewPreview, , "[Name]= '" & Me.Name &"'"
-
End Sub
Need to enclose the string portion of the criteria so that the form control value is available.
You've hit on two issues here: Access 2007 reserved words and symbols
"Name" is one such reserved word and might cause you some issues.
Second:
You've stumbled upon one of my pet peeves by building the criteria string within the command - and it's not your fault because that's how a majority of examples show how to use the command.
Instead I suggest that you build the string first and then use the string in the command. Why you might ask, because you can then check how the string is actually resolving; thus, making troubleshooting the code so much easier as most of the time the issue is with something missing or not resolving properly/as expected within your string. - (some code omited...)
-
DIM strSQL as string
-
'
-
strSQL = "[Name]= '" & Me.Name &"'"
-
'
-
'now you can insert a debug print here for troubleshooting
-
' - press <ctrl><g> to open the immediate window
-
' - you can now cut and paste this information for review!
-
'
-
debug.print "Your criteria = " & strSQL
-
'
-
'now use the string in your code:
-
DoCmd.OpenReport "Individual list", acViewPreview, , strSQL
Thanks for that - it was just the reserved word 'Name' that was causing the issue... sorry I'm not that experienced with access - just trying to pick it up as I go along!
thanks again :-)

Those nasty little keywords are a Gremlin for many people. The other is using spaces. Although technically allowed under the newer programs and operating systems, you'll find that if you need to upgrade to a larger database (SQLServer, MySQL, Oracle, etc...) that the spaces may also cause issues.

Does anyone know how to use a hyperlink in MS Access (I'm using 97) to

I have a form in my database, I have put a label on it, some text, and

It's easy enough to use the 'On Click' Event procedure to open another

Yeah, I don't open the report in preview mode when I setup my
recordsource, filters, or sorts. Before I give my solution, I would
say that your code will be simpler if you drop the "Sort" button and
simply include the sorts in the primary window rather than a window in
dialog mode. For example, I use 5 sorts in my preview screen, the
first sort is always enabled, the second sort only becomes enabled if
the first is not null...
