I removed the filter from the report but it still won't open the report. The
report is generated by 6 Sequential queries. At this point I'm frustrated
but I'm checking all of the queries and all the properties in the report. I
appreciate your patience. I'll let you know what I find and if I can get
this to work. There is no reason why it shouldn't, I just have to find that
one little error.
Thanks
:
In this instance, a report Filter is not necessary, besides the fact that the
Filter
syntax you provided is incorrect.
You used a Where statement in your OpenReport from the form, so you need no other
criteria for GroupDescription, in either the report and the query behind the report.
The
OpenReport Where argument provides the filter for the report.
Remove that Filter on the form, and any other GroupDescription criteria you may
have
in the report query, and use just the Where argument to control the report output.
The form must remain open while the report runs. When you close the report you
will
return to the "calling" form.

I tried that and it beeps. So now we know the problem lies with the report
call. In my report properties I have the following filter:
[GroupDescription]=!Forms [Print/Preview]![SelectGroup]
The GroupDescription is the name of the field in the underlying table "Asset
Group"
Print/Preview is the name of the Form
SelectGroup is the name of the List Box
Thank You,

You are correct all the Select Case statements work except #3.
I've never used "BEEP" were do I place that.. at the end of Case 3?
:
OK... right now, I'm assuming that all the SelectCase statements work...
except
for
#3.
I originally wanted to remove the Asset Group from the Where argument, but I
missed
it.
It also appears, in your latest post, that the Where argument really has no
"argument"
strWhereSelectGroup = "[Asset Group].GroupDescription
Forms![Print/Preview]!SelectGroup"
I think you "typo-ed" this, and you really want... (your original post had the
=
sign)
and... dropping the "[Asset Group]."
"[GroupDescription] = Forms![Print/Preview]!SelectGroup"
This should be a legitimate Where argument given that... GroupDescription is
in the report query, and has values that match the SelectGroup value on the
form.
Try this trick... put a Beep in Case #3. If you setup for a #3 result, and
the
code
beeps...
then you know that the problems lies with the report "call", or the
query/report.
I wrote...
What are you doing with the "PrintMode?" in your OpenReport code. Can you
drop
that
for now while we get the "basics" working.
Please remove the PrintMode for now.

There is no error message, it just doesn't do anything when I choose from
the
list. The other reports open just fine. Here is the entire code including
the print and the preview protion. Thanks for your help.

Salvo,
I'm finally able to get back to my project. I tried your suggestion but
it
did not solve the problem. Any other suggestions?
What do you mean by "still doesn't work". Any error messages?
Whenever you say your code doesn't worK, Cut & Paste your code in your
post
(the
whole
procedure).
What are you doing with the "PrintMode?" in your OpenReport code. Can
you
drop
that
for now while we get the "basics" working.

Salvo,
Try... (all on one line), and assuming GroupDescription is text...
strWhereSelectGroup = "[Asset Group].GroupDescription = '" &
SelectGroup
"'"
(with apostrophes expanded for clarity... don't use this)
strWhereSelectGroup = "[Asset Group].GroupDescription = ' " &

I have created an option group on a form with 4 buttons all are
pointing
to a
report. 3 are working properly Option 4 invokes a list box for a user
to
choose an particular group to include in the report. I believe there
needs
to be something in the properties of the report but I'm not sure what.
Can
anyone help?
The following is the code I used:
Dim strWhereSelectGroup As String
strWhereSelectGroup = "[Asset Group].GroupDescription =
Forms![Print/Preview]!SelectGroup"
Select Case Me!ReporttoPrint
Case 1
DoCmd.OpenReport "Cost per Hour 1st Quarter 2007",
PrintMode
Case 2
DoCmd.OpenReport "Hourly Cost by Category", PrintMode
Case 3
If IsNull(Form![Print/Preview]!SelectGroup) Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "Hourly Cost by Group", PrintMode
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "Hourly Cost by Group", PrintMode, ,
strWhereSelectGroup
End If
Case 4
DoCmd.OpenReport "Cost per Hour by Cost Center",
PrintMode
End Select
