Good Morning,
I currently have a report that pulls information from queries together. After creating the report to match the appearance of a PDF form we used back in the day, I discovered the report footer would have to be sized manually each time this report is created as the amount of records changes each time. Each page holds 34 records. I am about to pass information to someone taking over for me and it would be nice to auto height the report footer. I wrote the code at the bottom to "auto" height the report footer. I will update the code at the bottom as changes are made.
1. I keep getting this error; "Run-time error '2424:
The expression you entered has a field, control, or property name that Microsoft Access can't find." When I press debug, the 2nd line is high-lighted. Any help would be appreciated. CounterDuh is the count statement (textbox) for the records on the report as I have yet to be able to find a function that counts records on each page. NFE is the label in the Report footer and OMGFooter is the name of the report footer.
*** Edits
I Changed the beginning to see if it would change anything regarding errors.
Sub Report_Open()
Dim TotRemains As Integer
TotRemains = CounterDuh - (([Pages] - 1) * 34)
... etc. (Same As Above)
Now I get this error;
"The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro."
I'll be honest I have not done coding in almost 10 years ago. C++ I remember being awesome and I also remember every other coding language I could read fairly easy because of C++. I guess It's just been too long. I'm on a tangent. Ugh!
I apologize as I am trying to do many things at once without fixing problems but I think I am back at the original issue.
I changed the top again.
Sub Report_Open()
Dim TotalLastPage As Integer
TotalLastPage = CounterDuh
'Loop created to get remainder of records on last page
Do While TotalLastPage > 34
TotalLastPage -34
Loop
'IfThenElse Statement used to assign height to both Report footer and label.
If TotalLastPage = 34 Then
Me!NFE.Height = 0
Me!OMGFooter.Height = 0
ElseIf TotalLastPage = 33 Then
... etc.
Now I recieve another error...
Compile error:
Expected Sub, Function, or Property
