By Passing Reports with no data

D

Del

I have a series of query driven reports that are run from the on click
command of a button on a form. These reports are not opened or printed
but saved in a folder on a network share. Once the reports have been
created an email is send to specific people letting them know that new
reports have been created. Below is the code I am using so far.

This code works fine other than it creates a blank report if there's
no data to be displayed.

I am looking for a way to run the reports but ONLY save reports if
they actually have data.

==CODE =============================


Private Sub Command38_Click()

Else

Reports have a NoData event associated with them. In that event, just set
Cancel = True. Unfortunately, this will generate an error in your code, so
you need to use something like:

On Error Resume Next
Docmd.Outputto acOutputReport, "ReportName1", ...
If Err.Number = 0 or Err.number = 2501 then
'do nothing
else
'Goto ErrorHandler
endif
Docmd.Outputto acOutputReport, "ReportName2", ...
If Err.Number ...

This will handle errors other than the 2501 (The OutputTo action was
cancelled) error. Don't forget to turn your error handling back on after you
have completed the list of OutputTo statements.

Hi,
When writing VBA code I've used the following approach to avoid producing
reports with zero records:
Dim IntX as integer
IntX = DCount ("FieldName","SourceQueryName")
If IntX = 0 then
msgbox "No records therefore no report"
Exit sub 'or go to your exit routine
Else
'produce the report....
End if
' rest of code

Rick,

The down side of this is that Jet has to count the number of records in your
query first, so if there are records, it takes longer to generate the
report. You could speed this up using DLookup instead of DCount, since
DLookup will return the first record, if there is one, and NULL if there
isn't. Then you could just test:

IF ISNULL(DLookup("FieldName", "SourceQueryName")) Then
msgbox "No records"
Exit sub
else
'produce report
End if

Actually, I still like my method better, because then, all you need to do is
put this in a function or subroutine, pass it the name of the report, and
let it do the processing. When you have multiple reports like this, it
would get old repeating the previous code for each report. Additionally,
you have to actually know the name of a field for each query.
