Access

When using an Access Form I select a value (in this case a University) from a dropdown list. This produces a Report of information about that University. I would like that report to be created into an Excel file and be saved as the name of the University.

RE: Access

Hi Kevin, thanks for your query. The best way to achieve what you need is to attach a macro to the OnChange event of the dropdown list. This would take the University name, generate the report and automatically export it to a named Excel file. Currently, there is no built-in feature to do this automatically in Access.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
