Subreport vs queryquestion
First of all, as you have noticed, the Page Footer (and Page Header) do not
grow. I think you can just make control small and allow it to grow. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... After responding below, I moved the note section up to the detail section. It does work in that section. I still have a problem though. There is a large gap between each line item -- IF I have no notes. If I have notes, of course that space is filled with that information. Can I add something that would input the space for notes ONLY IF I have info in the notes field?? Duane, thank you for your patience and willingness to help me. I am learning and am most appreciative. "JNana" wrote in message ... Yes they are set to allow growing. Truncating at a particular place? I am not certain of what you mean. They are not being cut off; i.e. too many characters. They are not being copied and replaced. Controls are in page footer section. "Duane Hookom" DuaneAtNoSpanHookomDotNet wrote in message ... Are the controls set to allow growing? Is the number of characters truncating at a particular place? What section of the report are the controls in? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... No. I am entering the information in the order details form. I created a query - which runs without a problem. Then created the a Bill of Lading report. The Packing List Report is created from the report, "Invoice". The information displays on the query and the invoice without discrepancies. The 2 reports do not always display the information. ?? "Duane Hookom" DuaneAtNoSpanHookomDotNet wrote in message ... Is the information in the field being copied and pasted from another source? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... I really want a separate report for the Packing List and the Bill of Lading. The notes from the order details is a field on each of these reports. Information entered into that field on the order details form SHOULD be visible and print on these 2 reports. Only some of the time is this happening. I do not see anything different in the way the information was input on the order details form. If I can get the notes information to "pull forward" to these reports, that will solve my problem.

Access reports of sections and controls and records from the record source. "Lines" are either the result of Line controls or the Line method of the report.

Make sure the detail section is shortened to only accomodate the size of the controls. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... Example: 1 Widget $0.94 $0.94 10 Whistles $0.80 $8.00 Total $8.94 Between the quantity of 1 widget and the second line item, 10 whistles, is extra spacing. I would like for it to be as below, if no notes. 1 Widget $0.94 $0.94 10 Whistles $0.80 $8.00 Total $8.94 If notes: 1 Widget $0.94 $0.94 Special ordered from Alaska 10 Whistles $0.80 $8.00 Total $8.94 Hope this explains. "Duane Hookom" DuaneAtNoSpanHookomDotNet wrote in message ... Ok, I don't understand what you mean by spaces or gaps between line items. Access reports of sections and controls and records from the record source. "Lines" are either the result of Line controls or the Line method of the report. "spaces" can be either vertical space or horizontal space between controls. Can you provide more details on what you are seeing and would like to correct? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... I did try that. There still remains space between line items. Any options or is this the only way? "Duane Hookom" DuaneAtNoSpanHookomDotNet wrote in message ... First of all, as you have noticed, the Page Footer (and Page Header) do not grow. I think you can just make control small and allow it to grow. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... After responding below, I moved the note section up to the detail section. It does work in that section. I still have a problem though. There is a large gap between each line item -- IF I have no notes. If I have notes, of course that space is filled with that information. Can I add something that would input the space for notes ONLY IF I have info in the notes field?? Duane, thank you for your patience and willingness to help me. I am learning and am most appreciative. "JNana" wrote in message ... Yes they are set to allow growing. Truncating at a particular place? I am not certain of what you mean. They are not being cut off; i.e. too many characters. They are not being copied and replaced. Controls are in page footer section. "Duane Hookom" DuaneAtNoSpanHookomDotNet wrote in message ... Are the controls set to allow growing? Is the number of characters truncating at a particular place? What section of the report are the controls in? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... No. I am entering the information in the order details form. I created a query - which runs without a problem. Then created the a Bill of Lading report. The Packing List Report is created from the report, "Invoice". The information displays on the query and the invoice without discrepancies. The 2 reports do not always display the information. ?? "Duane Hookom" DuaneAtNoSpanHookomDotNet wrote in message ... Is the information in the field being copied and pasted from another source? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... I really want a separate report for the Packing List and the Bill of Lading. The notes from the order details is a field on each of these reports. Information entered into that field on the order details form SHOULD be visible and print on these 2 reports. Only some of the time is this happening. I do not see anything different in the way the information was input on the order details form. If I can get the notes information to "pull forward" to these reports, that will solve my problem. It is not the inability to display more than 255 characters. It doesn't display with as few as 10 some of the time, and then does display other times. Thanks. "Duane Hookom" DuaneAtNoSpanHookomDotNet wrote in message ... Is your base issue the inability to display more than 255 characters from the memo field? If so, your subreport can display the memo field from a record source that includes the field you need for linking to the main report. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... Thank you for your response. I will look into the sample database. However, I still am questioning "If I create a subreport linked to the form/subform, will it print every time I print the form/subform?" Let me explain further. I first enter my information into the orders/order details forms from which I generate an invoice. I am also wanting to generate a Bill of Lading and a Packing List from my orders/order details. I have created reports from this information; however, my "Notes" field does not always capture the information that was input. At that point it was suggested that I use a subreport. I am listing the SQL below. If you have an opportunity, will you take a look at this and see if you can determine why the "Notes" field is not working all of the time. SELECT Orders.*, [Order Details].OrderDetailID, [Order Details].ProductID, Products.ProductCode, [Order Details].Quantity, [Order Details].UnitPrice, Customers.CompanyName, Customers.ContactFirstName, Customers.ContactLastName, Customers.BillingAddress, Customers.City, Customers.StateOrProvince, Customers.PostalCode, Customers.[Country/Region], Customers.PhoneNumber, Customers.PONumber, Customers.ContactFirstName & " " & Customers.ContactLastName AS [Contact Name], [Shipping Methods].ShippingMethod, Products.ProductName, [Order Details].LineItem, [Order Details].SerialNum, Customers.ControlNum, Contracts.ContractNum, Dealer.DealerName, [Order Details].Discount, [Order Details].Notes FROM (Dealer RIGHT JOIN (Customers RIGHT JOIN ([Shipping Methods] RIGHT JOIN (Employees RIGHT JOIN Orders ON Employees.EmployeeID = Orders.EmployeeID) ON [Shipping Methods].ShippingMethodID = Orders.ShippingMethodID) ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID) ON Dealer.DealerID = Orders.DealerID) RIGHT JOIN ((Contracts INNER JOIN Products ON Contracts.ContractID = Products.ContractID) INNER JOIN [Order Details] ON Products.ProductID = [Order Details].ProductID) ON Orders.OrderID = [Order Details].OrderID ORDER BY [Order Details].LineItem; Thanks in advance. "Duane Hookom" DuaneAtNoSpanHookomDotNet wrote in message ... You stated "If I create a subreport linked to the form/subform, will it print every time I print the form/subform?" Forms are generally for screen displaying and editing of records stored in tables. Reports are for publishing the records to paper (or screen). You might want to review the Northwind sample database to find out more about reports and subreports as well as orders and order details. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "JNana" wrote in message ... I have a form, Customer Orders, and a subform, Customer Order Details. I have a report based upon a query using information from the form and subform. My problem is that one of the fields does not contain the information all of the time. Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. I cannot see why it is doing this. Suggestion has been to create a subreport and have master/child links. Here is my question. I did not create the first form and subform so I am not familiar with this procedure. If I create a subreport linked to the form/subform, will it print every time I print the form/subform? I am not wanting it to be visible on the form/subform and I do not want it to with it - which is why I created a query/report separate from it. Thanks for your assistance. JNana |
