The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Passing Parameters from Report to SubReport

Asked by DaveSavittiere in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: subreport, access

Hello Experts!

I have been having a terrible time trying to figure this out, so any help is EXTREMELY appreciated!

Here's the problem:

I am designing an Access Project with Access 2000 on an XP sp1 workstation connected to an SQL Server 2000 sp3.  In my project I have several reports, all of which get their data through stored procedures.  The one report in question has 4 subreports that each have a different stored procedure.  Each of those SP's require a parameter, but the parameter is the same for all...

EXAMPLE:

rptMAIN.recordsource = Report_QuarterBudget '1st Quarter'
rptSub1.recordsource = Report_QLocationBudget '1st Quarter'
rptSub2.recordsource = Report_QLocationWedge '1st Quarter'
rptSub3.recordsource = Report_QLocationBudgetSummary '1st Quarter'
rptSub4.recordsource = Report_QLocationWedgeSummary '1st Quarter'

I have a form, frmMenuReports, that has a list box populated with the names of all available reports.  When the user chooses the report s/he wants to run, s/he clicks the item in the list box which then opens an option to run that report as a total of all quarters, or by specific quarter.  If the user chooses '1st Quarter', I need to pass that string value to rptMain and all it's subs as the parameter for each SP.  When I run the report from the database window, without using my frmMenuReports, a dialog appears asking me for the parameter.  I enter '1st Quarter' and it runs just fine, except that it asks me for the paramater for each SP that is being executed and then a couple more.  Actually, it asks me for the parameter 9 times before the report actually prints, but it ends up printing correctly.  I really need to be able to drive this report from a menu without having the user type out '1st Quarter' and I cannot figure out how to pass the ONE PARAMETER to the five SP's....  

Please let me know if I need to clarify any further, and thanks in advance!!
