    Adding DAta and Updating A Report

    Hello Folks,

    I'm a musician using access to keep track of venues, bookings and comments on venues. These are in three tables linked by a field ClubID
    Thanks to suggestions from your colleagues in the query forum I have created a report of Venues and two subreports of bookings and comments.
    Eventually I intend to end up with a different page for each venue as I have no intention of printing this off.

    This works well, I am aiming now to add a couple of controls to the report.
    One to allow me to add a booking and one to allow me to add a comment.
    These would be macros that would open the relevant form and allow me to add the data then close the form.
    I shouild be able to handle this.



    My questions are;
    Is it possible to then "refresh" the report so that the new entry shows without having to close the report and run it again.
    Can I have the report reopen on the page I was on.

    I could live without either of these features but they would be a nice add on. I'm the only one using this database so I don't have to worry too much about error handling or security.

    Thank You

    Mike

    1. Maybe. With report in Layout view can use menu tool to Refresh the report. Never tried to do this programmatically.

    2. No. Can open report filtered to desired record(s)
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

    Thanks,
    When I thought about again it's obvious. The report is a static snapshot of data at any time.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
