    Reports - Header, Viewing format, and downloading issues

    Hi,

    I am still in the learning phase of MS Access. Would really appreciate your help with the below three things.

    1. I have a report with around 20 columns. The report breaks in a number of pages when viewed in such a way that the half the columns of rows are on one page and half the columns are on the other. I would want a report that has a consistent view with a scroll bar at the bottom to see all the columns.
    2. The report 1st column is "Category". For example, there are 20 rows in the report with only two categories say "Beverages" and "Food". Now instead of overwhelming the user with too much data, is it possible to move the category field to the header and show both "Beverages" and "Food" for it in the report header. I was able to do it if it was only one category but multiple categories do not show in the report header.
    3. The last column to my report is attachments. When I export my report to excel or pdf, the attachments get lost. Is there a way to include the attachments in the excel/pdf export. Also I am unable to view the attachment in the report on access. How can I view the attachment.



    Thanks a zillion for your help. Really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    1. Did you trying setting the report for landscape orientation? Legal size? Max size is 22" x 22"

    2. Perhaps you need a GROUP header.

    3. I do not think embedded documents can be compiled into the export, except maybe to a PDF if the attachment field contains a single image and the field is bound to an Image control which allows for dynamic display of images.

    1. Yes, I tried that. BUt it did not work.

    2. Not sure. I look at the GROUP header option but it still does not work.

    3. Some rows have multiple attachments. PDF export does not include them

    Please help.

    1. Should work.

    2. Not really understanding what you want. Maybe provide a picture.

    3. That's the way it is.
