Access to Word Document
Office 365. I have an Access report with one image (logo) and 4 subreports as a Print Preview. I need to save it as a Word .docx. Would it be best to just use the export to word command on the Print Preview tab or should I try to set it up as a merge document? It would require subdocuments, I believe. I will need to give it a unique name, based on the data in the report. Once it is in Word, can I make changes from Access? Can I re-open the Word document from Access at a later date to edit it? OR is there a better way??? Please help. Thanks in advance.
Error message 'Microsoft Access can't open the form 'Temp.''
I work with an Access database designed 30 years ago with which I've had no problems with until today. Suddently, when I try to run some functions (crosstab query or design a query) I'm getting this error message: "Microsoft Access can’t open the form ’temp.’ It contains data that Microsoft Access doesn’t recognize. Re-create the form or, if you maintain backup copies of your database, retrieve a copy of the form.’" Sometimes the query has time to run before the message appears but once it does, the application freezes. Click OK or close the box or press Escape, the result is the same: Access closes. The form 'temp' isn't one I've created and doesn't appear on the preview pane. I can highlight it using 'analyze performance' under 'database tools' but then I get an error message 'Application-defined or object-defined error' and again the application closes. Exactly the same messages appear when I try to run archived versions of the database which I'd not opened or altered for months - so I think it's an interface issue between the design of my database and a freshly updated version of Access? I've tried the obvious (compact and repair, safe mode, re-downloading Office 365) but nothing changes this. I have tried creating a new very simple database and can run cross-tab queries in that OK.
Access - how to joining two queries with different data without doubling data
I'm not sure how to phrase my issue, which makes finding a solution also difficult I'm trying to combine two different queries so I can run a report that shows all of the crops FarmerID is growing as well as the number of livestock . One query is labeled qryCrops and the other qryLivestock. Both queries have the same FarmerID (the unique key). The problem is I have a variety of scenarios: some farmers have multiple crops and only one type of livestock, other farmers have one crop and multiple types of livestock, some have multiples of both, etc. Whenever I try connecting the data, Access automatically doubles the information (see example below). I've tried joining data which hasn't worked. A query with a left join won't duplicate the crops, but will duplicate livestock. A query with a right join won't duplicate the livestock, but will duplicate the crops. I've tried running a left and right join query separately, and then combining both queries into a Union query, and my data still is getting doubled (I suspect that's not the right option as I'm not comparing apples to apples). Nothing seems to work! I've tried searching the internet and have been unsuccessful at finding a solution. Here is what I want; I want access to leave fields blank if there is no data: FarmerID Acres CropType LivestockNum LivestockType Farmer A 6 Pasture 3 Cows Farmer A 10 Hay Farmer B 15 Pasture 2 horses Farmer B 100 chickens This is what I get when I combine the data: FarmerID Acres CropType LivestockNum LivestockType Farmer A 6 Pasture 3 Cows Farmer A 10 Hay 3 Cows Farmer B 15 Pasture 2 horses Farmer B 15 Pasture 100 chickens Any thoughts? Our reports are currently set up to show the farmers and all of their crops, then the next section has the farmers and all of their livestock. I want a report that's grouped by the farmer so it shows all of their information in one place (without doubling data), then moves on to the next farmer. I'm hoping the query solution mentioned above will solve that. Thanks in advance!
ODBC Timeout Problem
Hi, I am calling a SQL Server stored procedure from my MS Access program and am getting the ODBC timeout error. When I run the stored procedure from SSMS, it executes in less than one second. I am passing no input parameters and the results are not returned from the stored procedure - they are written to a table instead. How can I avoid the timeout error? Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command connString = <all the usual stuff> cnn.Open (connString) With cmd .ActiveConnection = cnn .CommandType = adCmdStoredProc .CommandText = "usp_GetUnbilledItems" .Execute ---Times out here. End With
