    Is there a way to do a "column-break"?

    I am doing a report where I have my page formatted into two columns. I have the same basic info in each column (name, qualification %). They are basically split up into section 1 and section 2, that is why I have the two columns. Right now my report just lists them in order (down the left...

    How to do multiple columns on a report

    I have a table with 4 pieces of info that I need to display on a form: Watchstation Name Qualstatus Watchsection (1 or 2) I would like to have my report formatted so that there is a split-screen (vertically) (like you can do in WORD). In the left column I want to list everyone in section 1...

    Can't get query result to "refresh" in form combobox

    This should be fairly simple, but it is driving me nuts trying to get it to work right. I feel like I'm chasing my tail. Anyway, I have a query with three fields: "PersonnelID", "QualificationID", and "QualificationStatus". This is a query off of my large table for tracking qualifications...

    Can I use ElseIf vice IIF or get results for 3 or more cases in calc query field?

    I have a query where the first column is an integer type number 0-100 representing a percentage. I have learned how to create a second field that converts this integer into letter representation (see below): QualPercent:IIf([PercentComplete]=100,"Q","NQ") This works fine. However, this is...

    Report data on X-Y axis vice straight down?

    I have a database where I track personnel and qualifications for the Navy. I can generate reports per individual, group, etc..., but I would like to make one version of the report where I can list the personnel down the y-axis and the different quals down the x-axis. Then, in the box where...

    comparing dates (boolean) for conditional formatting

    Wayne, Thanks a bunch. I just used the following in the "conditional formatting" cell of the report: [duedate] < Date() And [%complete] < 100 and it worked perfectly. Didn't have to use IIF statement. I was able to generate a report of ONLY the overdue records by using two parameters to...

    Boolean comparison of dates for reports or queries?

    I posted the following the other day in the Reports section, but I think it is a more general question. I had intended it for use as conditional formatting for a report; however, I guess I could also use it as a parameter in a query and have the report draw that data. Help. :eek...

    Stupid newbie question on filtering reports or generating report from a query:

    Thanks. I'll try it out tomorrow at work. I assume "myreport" is the name of the report that generates data on everyone, so I should substitute the name of my report there.

    comparing dates (boolean) for conditional formatting

    follow-on question: The above report gives me the status of everyone and their qualifications and I can look through it and see the overdue ones based upon the background color (at least I hope it will in the future). So how do I generate the same report and only show the "overdue" records...

    Stupid newbie question on filtering reports or generating report from a query:

    I have one table that tracks personnel information (lastname, firstname, department, etc...). A second table that lists all of the various types of qualifications throughout the organization (qualnumber, qualtitle). A third table combines the data to store each qualification record...
