Possible to use a crosstab query in a report (A97)?

[pw]

Hi,

Is that possible if the crosstab query is dynamic? Doesn't seem so as
I have to specify the control source for the text boxes and the number
of columns may change, along with their field names.

Just thought I'd take a shot in the dark.

You can write code in the report's OnOpen event which will reassign
controlsources for textboxes.
It can also make extra textboxes invisible.
What you can't do at that point is to create new textboxes, so you'll need
to create the maximum possible number of textboxes first in design view.

There is a hard way: in the Report_Open event, inspect the

sure you have plenty of controls lined up. Set the unused ones to
invisible.

Thanks Turtle. But what if I don't know the name of the fields that
the crosstab query will generate?

I appreciate your help Tom! Thank you so much!

Do you know of any "magic" 3rd party utility that can generate any
fancy reports like this?

I think Tom's answer covered this -
do you need to know more?

Or perhaps your case is not quite so complex as you present.

For example, if your crosstab's ColumnHeader is the name of the month, you
may not have any entries for a particular month, and thus not generate that
column.
But if you list all the months in the ColumnHeaders property, you will get a
column for each month, whether or not there is data.
This can vastly simplify creating reports.

pw,
You have to declare the column headings in the properties panel of the
query. As long as the column headings keep the same name you can bind the
report to the query. If they change then you would need code to set the
column heading property on the way to opening the report.
