What to say to a user who wants to write their own reports?
I have just finished developing a quite complex database (about 50 tables and
100 queries) with some canned reports. There are many data relationships. Ita all done, tested and signed-off on, but now the user has asked "will I be able to modify the reports or create my own?" Basically, I said "No, but I can design an export capability to send data to Excel". Any ideas/comments? |

Are you asking how to create the export capability or if your answer was
appropriate? You might want to download and review the query by form applet available at http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/O...p#Hookom,Duane -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP -- "mscertified" wrote in message news I have just finished developing a quite complex database (about 50 tables and 100 queries) with some canned reports.
