    Question on Reporting


    I currently have a form where I select an employee and it brings up the proper detial on that employee. I also have a report that will list all employees along with their detail. I would like to put a command button on the form that when clicked will print the report with the selected employees detail only.

    Can this easily be done or do I need to know VBA code to write and event that will do this?

    RG,

    I know that "RptSomeReport" shold be replaced with the name of my report. Hower, I am unclear as to what the "RunID represents?

    Are you using a SubForm to display the detail for each employee? If so, what is the LinkChildField property of the SubFormControl set to?

    I am sorry RG, I am not getting it to work. I think it may have something to do with the relationships that I have to each of the tables. If I am understanding you right I am to use EmployeeLkp in place if RunID. I am not sure if I am to use it in place of both occurances or if one of the occurances should be replaced with the field linked to in the master field which is just ID

    ChildLinkId=EmployeeLkp
    MasterLinkId=ID


    strWhere = "[RunID]=" & me!RunID

    RG, I figured out why it was not working. I did not have the linked fields in my report.
    Thanks again for the help.

    That's great James. I'll bet you learned a few other things about Access in the process too.

    RG,

    Now that I have found how to get this to work using my test db, I am now trying to apply it to my live db. The form w/subform is tied to a query. This query is lacking the PK that I need to get this to print recored button to work. When I try and modify the query I get an error referring to an invalid bracket. Any change to the query gives me the same results. Would you mind looking at it if i provide you with me db?

    I have some time. Go ahead and Compact and Repair and then ZIP up the db and post it.

    Thanks, I did not see that advance button before. (FYI you will need to hold down SHIFT while opeing the DB) The query is called "PAYMENTS SUM WITH BALANCES" you will notice that when you try and run the query it will prompt you for a "dvancesTbl.EmployeeLkp" value.

    This is because I changed the name of the field in the table AdvancesTble from EmployeeLkp to Emp_ID because I took the lookup script off at the table level so that this table would hold the employee ID number instead of their name.

    I am trying to modify the sql script in the query "PAYMENTS SUM WITH BALANCES" to change the field name from EmployeeLkp to EMP_ID. It just does not allow me to change it without erroring out and I do not know why.
