Setting report RowSource from Form

G

Guest

I have a form used to open a report and I need to set the RowSource of a
chart on the report based on a combo box on the form. The problem I'm having
is that if I try to set it before I open the form then I get an error that
the form is not open. If I try to do it after opening, then I get an error
that you can't set the RowSource after printing has begun.

I'm thinking I need to pass my SQL string to the report somehow and then use
it maybe in the OnOpen event? Here's the code I'm trying to use...

Private Sub cmdOpenrptMonthlyComparison_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenrptMonthlyComparison_Click

'Set SQL for report to show only selected department
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strDept As String

strDept = Forms!frmDept!cmbDept
strSQL = "SELECT qryPlantCrosstab.[Comment Subcategory],
Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Jul) AS Jul, Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Aug) AS Aug,
Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Sep) AS Sep, Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Oct) AS Oct,
Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Nov) AS Nov, Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Dec) AS [Dec],
Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Jan) AS Jan, Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Feb) AS Feb,
Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Mar) AS Mar, Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Apr) AS Apr,
Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.May) AS May, Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Jun) AS Jun " & _
"FROM qryPlantCrosstab " & _
"WHERE (((qryPlantCrosstab.Classification) = " & Chr(34) &
strDept & Chr(34) & "))" & _
"GROUP BY qryPlantCrosstab.[Comment Subcategory] " & _
"ORDER BY Sum(qryPlantCrosstab.Jan) DESC;"

'Set the Source for the chart to the SQL created and open the report



Dim stDocName As String
Reports!rptMonthlyComparison.OLEUnbound0.RowSource = strSQL
stDocName = "rptMonthlyComparison"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview


Exit_cmdOpenrptMonthlyComparison_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdOpenrptMonthlyComparison_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdOpenrptMonthlyComparison_Click

End Sub

Okay - got a piece of it. If I open it first in design mode, I can make the
change and then open it in Preview.

Now my problem is that when I close the report, it asks me if I want to save
my changes. How do I suppress this warning? docmd.SetWarnings (false) doesn't
seem to work.

If you're using ACCESS 2002 or ACCESS 2003, you can pass the SQL string in
the OpenArgs argument of the DoCmd.OpenReport method, then use the report's
Open event to set the Recordsource to that SQL string.

DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , , , strSQL


Then this would be the Open event procedure for the report:

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Len(Me.OpenArgs & "") > 0 Then Me.RecordSource = Me.OpenArgs
End Sub

Thanks for the response Ken. So I can't pass arguments using Access 2000?

Hi Jason,

For your question,
"Now my problem is that when I close the report, it asks me if I want to
save
my changes. How do I suppress this warning? ",

Please try using DoCmd.Save to save your report before you execute
DoCmd.OpenReport to open the report.

Hope this helps.

No. What you do in ACCESS 2000 is to put a hidden textbox on the form, write
the SQL string to that textbox, then use the report's Open event to test if
the form is open, and if it is, read the SQL string from that textbox and
set your report's RecordSource to that string value.

Jason,
I was just looking for some other stuff, and what they say is right, but
would'nt it be easier to track by writing a query and name it for the report
then pass the parameters into the query? ie. qry_rptMyReport

Then you can see the underlying SQL without going through code.

I open my reports using a listbox. On the form I drop down parameters and
have also named the Parmeters and Paramter labels very carefully. before the
report runs I gather the parameters to post to the report..

Private Function rptParameters()
Dim tName, strPRAM, SQLpram As String
Dim tValue As Variant

Dim c As Control
' On Error GoTo errLabelCheck
For Each c In Me.Controls
If UCase(Mid(c.Name, 4, 4)) = "PRAM" Then
tValue = ""
tName = "lbl" & Mid(c.Name, 8)
If UCase(Mid(c.Name, 8)) = "ACTIVE" Then
If c.value = -1 Then tValue = "Yes"
If c.value = 0 Then tValue = "No"
Else
tValue = c.value
End If
If c.value <> "" Then
If Len(strPRAM) > 0 Then
strPRAM = strPRAM & "; " & Me.Controls(tName).Caption &
": '" & tValue & "'"
Else
strPRAM = "( Parameters: " & Me.Controls(tName).Caption
& ": '" & tValue & "'"
End If
End If
End If
Next c
If Len(strPRAM) > 0 Then strPRAM = strPRAM & " )"
rptParameters = strPRAM
Exit Function
errLabelCheck:
MsgBox ("Parameter Labels must equate parameters. See established
pattern.")
rptParameters = ""
Exit Function
End Function

When the report is selected then Ipass those parametrs to the report.
rptPRAM = rptParameters
DoCmd.OpenReport Me.lstReports, IIf(Me.chkPrint.value, acViewNormal,
acViewPreview), , SQLpram, acWindowNormal, rptPRAM

when the report opens, i also use a blank text box called lblParameters to
list the report parameters using this code in the OnOpen action for the
report:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.lblParameters.Caption = Nz(Me.OpenArgs, "")
End Sub

works cool!

I'm new at this.

Just tid bits
