    Crystal Reports

    What would be the purpose of using Crystal Reports within Access. The report structure within Access is strong. Crystal Reports is used as an add-on to programs that require a separate report writer, such as financial, visual basic, etc. (People use to use Caret Reports, which I found to be...

    Transfer Database

    The easiest way is to make a Delete Query and have the query run on a Command Button or else on the After Update of the code for the transfer of the original information. Make a back-up before you do this to make sure that it is working the way you want it too. I would also put a warning on...

    Copy and paste the function in a new module. You can call it whatever you like, but probably ModMergetoWord. On your command button on the form, on the On Click, place the following: =MergeToWord() This should get you started. Don't forget to recompile. [This message has been edited by...

    Selecting a specific printer

    It seems to me that if you open up your report in design view and select page setup, and then the Page tab, there is an area where you can select a specific printer to always send the report to. I have used this to automatically have a customers shipping request report sent to the shipping...

    Merge to Word Automation

    Here is code that I used. You can change the names to correspond to your fields and tables. Make sure that you have a form letter already made up in word using a .dot template when using this function. In your form, make a command button that when clicked would reference this function...

    Publishing to Word, calculations are now wrong

    Your best bet is to use Snapshot Viewer, as it will give you an exact copy of the report ready for e-mailing. The only drawback is that the receiver must have this installed on their end to read. It is on the Windows Installation CD and I think that you can down-load it. If you require it, I...

    Manipulating Table Fields in a Form?

    You don't want to insert this information if it is already contained within a table in your database. If you do, then you would have duplicate records. Bring the information together with a query, using a join on EmployeeID.

    greyed out option buttons

    If these option buttons were added after you had made the form, then it could be that it is not being picked up. I would suggest that when copying an option button to make an additional one, that you paste it onto the Option Group border, then you can move it to where you want to within your...

    Date Range

    I tried your 1st code on a print button and it worked correctly giving me the correct report and reporting dates. Could it be that you are not asking for the field names of your unbound text boxes correctly. I am assuming that you have 3 unbound text boxes on your dialog form: 1 - WDate...

    Mailing Labels

    I agree with Chris. If you want to control the database, and have it secured, thereby, avoiding a multitude of problems with users making all there own reports down the road, then you must establish a set of rules and/or criteria. Set up a standard set of labels covering the basic needs. A...
