A form's button click opens an access report that comes up with data. The parameters are used with a pass-through query to an SQL stored procedure which returns records. The report does not come up Modal and I would like it to remain that way. However, if the user does not close the report before going back to the form and tries to set new parameters, the report remains open in the background and upon the button click the report is brought to the fore with old parameters and data and not refreshed with new parameters/data.
One option is to go Modal with the report but that makes for rough transitions with the user having to actively close the report. The other option is to close the report during retries which is what I have been trying. I have tried:
If CurrentProject.AllReports(rpt_ptq_uspWorkCentreReport).IsLoaded Then
DoCmd.Close acReport, rpt_ptq_uspWorkCentreReport, acSaveNo
in several different locations: _MousedDown, as the first If in the _Click, and _BeforeInsert. Each time CurrentProject.AllReports(rpt_ptq_uspWorkCentreReport).IsLoaded comes up false during the second pass when the report is sitting in the background and the form is being reworked with the next tries new parameters. Also during the second attempt the .OpenReport line fails with an SQL error because strSQLP1 is incomplete. Here's the _Click event:
Private Sub btnPreviewP1_Click()
If (Me.txtToDateP1 < Me.txtFromDateP1) Then
MsgBox ("The From Date must occurr before the To Date!")
End If
Dim strFromDateHMS As String
Dim strToDateHMS As String
Dim strSQLP1 As String
Dim strOpenArgs As String
strFromDateHMS = Format(Me.txtFromDateP1, "yyyy-mm-dd") & " " & Me.cboFromHourP1 & ":" & Me.cboFromMinuteP1 & ":" & Me.cboFromSecondP1
strToDateHMS = Format(Me.txtToDateP1, "yyyy-mm-dd") & " " & Me.cboToHourP1 & ":" & Me.cboToMinuteP1 & ":" & Me.cboToSecondP1
strSQLP1 = "exec dbo.uspWorkCentreReport '" & strFromDateHMS & "','" & strToDateHMS & "','" & strWCP1 & "'," & strShiftP1
strOpenArgs = Me.RecordSource & "|" & strFromDateHMS & "|" & strToDateHMS & "|" & strWCP1 & "|" & strShiftP1
' This line is all that's needed to modify the PT query
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("ptq_uspWorkCentreReport").SQL = strSQLP1
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_ptq_uspWorkCentreReport", acViewReport, , , , strOpenArgs
End Sub
And the _MouseDown where the .AllReports is currently:
Private Sub btnPreviewP1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If CurrentProject.AllReports(rpt_ptq_uspWorkCentreReport).IsLoaded Then
DoCmd.Close acReport, rpt_ptq_uspWorkCentreReport, acSaveNo
End If
End Sub
This is the Report_Open:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SplitOpenArgs() As String
SplitOpenArgs = Split(Me.OpenArgs, "|")
Me.lblFromDate.Caption = SplitOpenArgs(1)
Me.lblToDate.Caption = SplitOpenArgs(2)
Me.lblWC.Caption = SplitOpenArgs(3)
Me.lblShift.Caption = SplitOpenArgs(4)
End Sub
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
