    Access 2007 subreport sorting for purchase order


    Hello,

    I am having troubles sorting data on a subreport. Basically I'm creating purchase orders (think of a multiple manufacturer distributorship) linked by customer ID. My report has information linked by customer ID and distributors, subreport has products from different distributors.

    When I run the report the distributors show on each individual page like I want but the products from all the distributors show on all the report pages.

    What I want is a purchase order report to show the distributor and their products only and if other products from another distributorship are ordered for them to show on separate report pages all linked by customer ID.

    Im not an access pro FYI. Can anyone help please?

    Have you tried creating a grouping on distributor ID?

    Thank you for the reply. I tried grouping the main report and the sub-report on distributor, and it didnt work. Also, I did not put the distributor under its own ID, it is on the product table.

    Sorry, I am having trouble visualizing what you need without more details about the design of the database tables.

    I really appreciate the help on this. This is the best way to describe it and I hope this helps.
    I have a main intake form with a sub-form. The products come from the sub-form and are put in the sub-report. Everything is linked by OrdersID from the OrdersTbl. The report sub-report are mostly based off the ProductInfoTbl.

    Ok so I just figured this out. I linked the master and child fields on the sub report to OrdersID and ProductDistributor. It distributed them correctly but if more than one product is ordered from the distributor the report is duplicated. Ideas?

    That linking does not make sense to me. According to your schema, there is no direct link between orders and distributors, they are linked through OrderDetailsTbl and ProductDetailsTbl.

    By customer ID do you mean the ID in PatientInfoTbl?

    Yes. I was trying to make it simpler without getting into too much detail figured it would be closer to what most people deal with. When I said customer Id in the original post I was referring to the OrdersTbl OrdersID. Everything is based on the OrdersId PK. My schema may be a little jacked since Im a novice and writing this for myself.

    My comment still applies. I don't see how you could link OrdersID and ProductDistributor and expect to get correct output, even though you say it is. If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    O& P Database - Copy.zip Maybe this will help. The data entry starts on the OrderIntakeFrm. From there the order form btn goes to the OrderFormRpt. If you enter more than one product from a Manufacturer the report duplicates. Hope this helps. Thank you very much.

    Well, I don't like the setup of OrderIntakeFrm. Review this discussion about editing multiple tables in one form https://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=66220

    As for the report, since you have a subreport for OrderDetails, don't include those tables in the main report and don't include OrdersTbl in the subreport. Master/Child link on OrdersID fields.

    Some dummy orders data would have helped analysis. I did not enter any so not sure if suggestion will resolve issue.
