Stewart has attended:
Access Intermediate course

Sub reports

Can I deliver results in a text string ( ie divided by commas and wrapping round in the output space) rather than in a column.

ie Result1, Result2, Result3 ...

Not
Result1
Result2
Result3

RE: Sub reports

Hi Stewart

If you go into Design view within Microsoft Access Reports, you should be able to move each field arround to exactly where you want it to be.

I hope this solves your Microsoft Access Report problem

RE: Sub reports

I should be more precise.

I have a file of "Teams" containing Teamname and I have a file of "People" who link to "Teams".

In a subreport, I am able to do:

Teamname: Chester
Eric Williams
Bill Price
John Elliott
David Benham

What I want to do is:

Teamname: Chester
Eric Williams, Bill Price, John Elliott, David Benham

Is this possible? How do I do it?

Thanking you in advance,

Stewart Smith

RE: Sub reports

not sure if this is possible, will keep on asking around.

Carlos, do you have any ideas

RE: Sub reports

When you create a report in Access the lists will always come out as shown above.

To have the lists appearing as Stewart requires could probably be done with some VBA coding to reorganize the text in the report.

RE: Sub reports

Hi Stewart,

In the 'Control Source' of a Report Text Box Properties insert the following, where "FieldName 1,2,3" etc are the fields you want to line up.

=[Fieldname1] & ", " & [FieldName2] & ", " & [FieldName3] & ", etc..."

The commas are optional!

Cheers

RE: Sub reports

Thanks for the reply but the fields are all "TMname" in different records in the "Teammembers" file.
I'm sure it can be done with some tricky VBa - I guess I need to set myself the task of learning it.

Access tip:

Pop up property

If you want to focus the attention of a form / switchboard to a user then you can change the propeties of a form/switchboard for Pop up to On.

This meand tht the focus for the user must be on the form / switchboard
