Report Challenge

[edubbelaar]

Hi all,

I'm building a small business information system to manage sales information from a dealer channel. There are 2 major forms, very complex, build up from several sub-forms, including a lot of calculations. Attached you can find a screen dump of those 2 forms.

Does anyone has an idea how a can transform these forms in to a paper version (i.e. a report).

Thanks for your advice...

print the forms out

Hi

What do you mean by "transform to a paper version"? Can't you just print out the forms?

Regards

No, printing the forms is not an option (for so far)... There is a know bug in MS Access, see: "Unbound Controls on a Subform Are Blank When You Print the Main Form" and the given solution is not working (I'm still trying...)

Use a Report and sub report(s), anything that can be calculated at form level can also be calculated at report level
You can also save the form as a Report and save yourself some work
