asked on 

is it possible to have 'dynamic' reports using a template

All

I have several reports within a database that are replicated far 20 different areas with that area information only.

Is it possible to use a template and then through a 'function' get the reports for each area.  main reason is that I currently have 80 reports (20 x 4 different report) and if I need to change something need to amend all 20.

Is not ot big a deal but if am able to use a template that just updates with 'function' would be easier

yes it is possible, you just need one report and use filters to change the content of the report.

it will be better to use a form to set all the values for the different areas.

Thanks Capricorn1

Can you give me a bit more detail -

Can all these reports run off the one query?  The Department Description field is what will determine the area report produced.

I have a seperate query that reports records using a 'between dates' query (pop up asks for date range'......is the principle here the same....
