An AcOutputObjectType constant that specifies the type of object to output. A string expression that's the valid name of an object of the type selected by the ObjectType argument. If you want to output the active object, specify the object's type for the ObjectType argument and leave this argument blank.
Is there a way to make the report I want to use the active object, filter it then call DoCmd. Thanks, Warren. DCrake Remembered. Local time Today, Joined Jun 8, Messages 8, As the report based on an underlying query or table you need to apply the filter on that.
This inturn will filter the report when generated or outputted. The report is based on a query and the filter is dynamic. With: DoCmd. I did get it to work by calling DoCmd. OutputTo with the Objectname blank. This seems hacky and is twice as slow if I were to call DoCmd. OutputTo by itself with an objectname, but that does not give me the filter I want. I assume the above causes the report I need to become active and then DoCmd. OutputTo uses it since its Objectname arg is blank.
I think the problem with it being slow is that it opens the report gui for preview and I do not need that. Is there a way of getting a hold of the report object, filtering it and then making it active without getting any kind of gui involved.
I think that would do it. I believe it might be related to the links between main report and sub report. The experince I had yesterday that Access crashed when running the function seem to be only on that one computer now that I am at work it works again.
I can't get it to work, also I have some compatibility problems as I have Access and yours is build in Access Also I am not able to run your reports due to errors like "The expressions is typed incorrectly, or is too complex to be evaluated" and "Data type missmatch in expression". Do you encounter similar messages?
If so, I would suggest solving these issues first, then you might try the automation to PDF after that. The error messages points to incorrect data type in Querys. I have taken a step back and removed all VBA from the DB and changed it to open the report based on what is selected in a dropdown list on the Open report Form. I have also saved a version in Access mode just in case you would still have problems opening the file from access I do not get that error message "The expressions is typed incorrectly, or is too complex to be evaluated" at all but I checked just to be sure and I have not been able to find any data type inconsistencies in any of the queries.
Thanks for doing this, but unfortunately I receive a message that the "item not exists or is no longer available" message when trying to open the link to SkyDrive.
How could I have missed that one with the name "I must have been sleeping big time. I don't know if you saw the other report in the Database he one called "Agent feedback" this on needs 2 parameters the Agent name and the week.
You don't need to set the filter for the Report, you can leave that out of the code for both Reports, as your already use the Form parameters. Below the routine for the Week report, this time you need to use two recordset and loop between both of them. I did not take care of empty reports, so there will be empty PDF, when there is nothing to report for a certain week. Sorry for not making it clear but I do not want to create the Agent feedback pdf's for each week in the year every week, but just at any given time the last 3 weeks.
So that each agent will recieve 4 reports each week with the Scorecard and one Agent feedback for each of the last 3 weeks. The content you requested has been removed. Ask a question. Quick access.

Create different reports with the criteria built in Create a parameter query referencing form fields or global functions as record source for the report.
This site in other languages x. You then simply invoke DoCmd. OpenReportthe report will become visible but it will not re-query the data and will it still use the original criteria for filtering the data.
Works like a charm. The following code example outputs the Employees table in rich-text format. This line looks wrong: OutputTo -Method does not support to supply any criteria to the report the filter the data. If you leave this argument blank, Access outputs the data by using the Windows default encoding for text files and the default system encoding for HTML files.
