Cannot use OpenArgs in Access 2000
Hello:
I created an Access application that uses OpenArgs: DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , , , "1" I created it in Access 2003 (but in Access 2000 format), and it works well. However, people in my company are using Access 2000, and this doesn't work on their PCs. They are getting a compile error ("Wrong number of arguments or method is not supported"). I've checked the references - they are identical to mine, except that they have Access 9, and I have Access 11. I know that Access 2000 supports OpenArgs, I verified this in Help. But it even doesn't give this option. When I type DoCmd.OpenReport, I see this: OpenReport(ReportName, View as AcView=acVewNormal, [FilterName], [WhereCondition]) That's all. On my PC I see: OpenReport(ReportName, View as AcView=acVewNormal, [FilterName], [WhereCondition], WindowMode as AcWindowMode=acWindowNormal, [OpenArgs]) What could be wrong here? I would appreciate your help. Thank you, -- Peter Afonin |

You are mistaken -- Access 2000 does not support OpenArgs for DoCmd.OpenReport, only for DoCmd.OpenForm. You'll have to use a workaround of some sort. Possible workarounds include (a) putting the arguments into a hidden text box on a form, and having the report pick them up from there, and (b) using a global variable whose value you set to the desired argument string just before you open the report -- the report's Open event proc then grabs the argument value from the variable and clears the variable for future use. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |

Thank you, Dirk, I can do that. I just wonder why I found a full info about OpenArgs in Access 2000 Help? Because it is valid for the DoCmd.OpenForm method. Are you saying you find help text that implies OpenArgs is valid with the OpenReport method? I just had a quick look in the A2K help, to make sure they hadn't made a mistake -- as has been known to happen -- but I couldn't find OpenArgs in conjunction with the OpenReport method or the Report object. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |

Thank you, I guess you're correct. It was valid for OpenForm only.
