Access Form Formatting Labels

How about just posting a sample of this DB?
Sample database notes:
1. Back up your database(s).
2. Combine the front and back ends into one database file.
3. Remove any startup options, unless they are relevant to the issue.
4. Remove any records unless they are relevant to the issue.
5. Delete any objects that do not relate directly to the issue.
6. Remove any references to any "linked" files (files outside of the database, Images, OLE Files, ...etc)
7. Remove any references to any third party Active-x Controls (unless they are relevant to the issue)
8. Remove, obfuscate, encrypt, or otherwise disguise, any sensitive data.
9. Compile the code. (From the VBA code window, click: Debug-->Compile)
10. Run the compact/Repair utility.
11. Remove any Passwords and/or security.
12. If a form is involved in the issue, set the Modal and Popup properties to: No
    (Again, unless these properties are associated with the issue)
13. Post the explicit steps to replicate the issue.
14. Test the database before posting.

In other words, ...post a database that we can easily open and immediately see and/or troubleshoot the issue.
And if applicable, also include a clear graphical representation of the *Exact* results you are expecting, based on the sample data.

My fist guess is that you need a textbox to display this text.
Then use code like this as the controlsource for this textbox:
If TaskID=1 then
   SomeControl="Task"
ElseIf TaskID=2 then
    SomeControl="Meeting"
End if

Or, ...do something like this as the Controlsource in the control directly:
=IIF([TaskID]=1,"Task","Meeting")

Why not just add an ActivityType with values (Tasks and Meetings) (it could be computed based on some other field) field to the query that is the source for the report.  You obviously already have some way of identifying that.  Then, instead of a label, you could use a textbox to display that value.

If need be, you could use the detail sections Format event to keep track of the employee name and Task type for each record, and use that to hide/reveal that textbox for only the first activity type within each employee, something like:

Private Sub Detail_Format

    Static strPrevEmployee as string
    Static strPrevActType as string
    dim bDisplay as boolean

    if me.txt_Employee <> strPrevEmployee then
        bDisplay = true
        strPrevEmployee = me.txt_Employee
        strPrevActType = me.txt_ActivityType
    elseif me.txt_ActivityType <> strPrevActType then
        bDisplay = true
        strPrevActType = me.txt_ActivityType
    endif

     me.txt_ActivityType.visible = bDisplay

End Sub

NOTE: if you use this technique, you will need to use the acPrintPreview option of the OpenReport method, because code behind the report will not fire if you use the ReportView option.

Try this:
Database116.mdb

Boag2000, that is exactly what I want it to do!

I may have made the entire thing harder than it has to be. I am going to try to upload the database so you can see it. It is going to take me a few minutes though, as I have to take out all the personal information.

Thank you for working on this for me!

Finally, just a note.

You may want to consider later changing your field name:
TasKID1=Task
TaskID2=Meeting

This is like saying:
StateID1=State
StateID2=Country
or
BuildingID1=Building
BuildingID2=Garage

Perhaps you should call your field "EventID", then the other field would be EventType (Task or Meeting)

In my two example, I would change my field to: LandParcelD, and StructureID, respectively...

Attached is my database.

The report that is an issue is the rpt_Weekly.

To pull up the sample activities, when it asks for start and end date, please enter 4/6/12 for both.


Let me know if this works.

THANK YOU!

Jeff,

Looks like you've got this covered, and since I cannot download the database, I will leave this in your capable hands!

Megin,

From what you posted, I don't really see the need for subreports...

In any event, you can take what I did in my sample and apply it to your database.

I was wondering about the subreport thing too. This is why they are there:

I need to have the employees grouped in SubTask Orders. The activities are then grouped under these subtask orders.

On the report, I need the subtask order listed once, all those who are part of that subtask order listed together, once. Then I need all of the activities listed, once. When I was doing this other ways I would end up with the employees listed multiple times or the activities listed multiple times.

When I do what it looks like you did in your example, the text box repeats itself for every activity.

Task: act1
Task: Act 2
Meeting: act 3
Meeting: act 4

I need it to only list it once, like you did in your example.

Yours looks simple, like I wanted mine to be, but I wasn't able to make it work that way when I was building it. Though, I am still not very good at this so there is a good chance that what I have done is wrong.

I got it!  Everything is going to be okay.

Thank you for your help!!!!!

OK, then the main issue here (creating a prefix based on the task ID) seems to be resolved...

You can post a new Question on the report design.
Remember to post a sample of the DB following the steps I outlined in my first post...
