Combos in reports (1 Viewer)

[DavidRS]

Before I head down a blind alley, can I use cascading combos directly in a report to limit the report's contents or do I need to use a form first?

I've been looking through all the threads on cascading combos and have got a little lost!

Cheers

You cannot have a combo box on a report

Use a form with combo boxes (cascading if you wish) to create teh criteria on which the report will be based. use On Click property of last combo to call report.

Sorry for appearing pedantic here but you can have combo boxes on Reports, however since Reports are not user interactive they serve no useful purpose in this instance

Nice to know it can be done.

Hmmmm

There must be a purpose somewhere

Thanks guys,

I'm getting really frustrated - I want to produce a report of files associated with an individual. The name should be picked from a list and a sub-form would list all the files. A report would then be produced based on the results.

The tables I have got so far are:

tblGroup

GroupID
Group

tblStaff
UserID
FullName
Group
Unit

tblUnit
UnitID
Unit

tblUsersFiles
FileID
UserID
FileName
NA_Files
FullName (this is name of staff member)
SizeUsedMB
Modified

The report needs to contain the following the detail:

Staff Name
Group
Unit
The list of files
Total Mb used

I have no experience using coding and although i can see what the examples are doing, I can't replicate them on my db. Given that I don't understand the code I cant see where I'm going wrong and I have a load of information which i can't report on. I am going mad and spending all my time trying to do this. I'm trying to learn but can't get my head round it.

Can anyone help me - pleeeease

Cheers

David
