    Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    Hello

    I have a small application using vb6 platform & using sql2000 database. In database, I have 3 tables, Login, Bank & Transaction. I have; lets say, 5 bank accounts in that database. Now, what I need to do is to create a report which should show the transactions separately for all banks. I have created a report, that, shows, the transactions of all banks, altogether, separating them, via groups, but, I am unable to create the report, for separate banks.

    Is this achievable? If Yes!, How?

    Can anybody help me out.

    I will create Separate Command buttons, on the form, and call the same report from them. If there is any other way of achieving the same, please do share it with me.

    Guidance is requested.

    Re: Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    What did you use to create the report, Crystal, Datareport, ... In either case, you probably should look at using a parameter to select only the bank you want to print. I usually use a Textbox or combobox to have the operator enter the parameter value, Using a separate command button for each bank doesn't seem like a good idea. What if you add/delete a bank.

    Re: Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    I havent used any filters at vb level, frankly speaking I cant figure out how to. I want to use the filters at report level. I want to know, is it possible.?

    As for your question of "If the bank is added/deleted". This is a good point. I didnt think of that.

    Any idea, on how to set filters at report level?

    Re: Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    I have used Crystal Report 8.5 as the reporting tool. Is it possible to use the combo box for the operator to select the bank code, and with that, the application would be able to show the transactions of that particular bank in the report. How many reports will I have to create for that purpose? And if it is possible, how can that be achieved? Any Ideas?

    Re: Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    You could use the "Record Selection Formula" at running time an pass to the report before call it

    I can show you an example, but first you should post your code where you are calling the report ( to check what kind of CR engine you are using)

    Re: Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    I've created a couple of reports, each been called by two command buttons. Each of the 2 command buttons has the following code, which is calling the report.

    Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
    Report1.Reset
    ' Assign report name
    Report1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\Report\abc.rpt"
    ' command to display printer setup icon
    Report1.WindowShowPrintSetupBtn = True
    ' Set window state
    Report1.WindowState = crptMaximized
    ' command to display the report
    Report1.Action = 1
    End Sub

    Report1 is the crystal report control, that is being used in the code.

    One report shows the total transactions of all the banks, present in the database, while the other one shows the balances of the all the banks.

    Re: Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    Ok, you're using CR OCX
    The way to filter one report, in your case to print records from 1 bank only, you can set the "SelectionFormula" property before call the rpt
    Code:
    Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
    
        Report1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\Report\abc.rpt"
        Report1.WindowShowPrintSetupBtn = True
        Report1.WindowState = crptMaximized
        Report1.SelectionFormula = "{tablex.fieldx}='" & txtBank.Text & "'"
        Report1.Action = 1
    
    End Sub
    (just change the table & field names for the real ones)

    Re: Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    THANKS JGGTZ

    YOU'RE A COOL.

    One more question? How can I set the filter for certain date.

    I mean, along side the Text Box, I also want to show the transaction for a certain number of days, lets say from 01/12/2012 till 15/12/2012, how can I do that? The date is optional, I mean, if the date is entered the report shows the transaction for that period, and if it is remained untouched, then the report shows the complete transaction.

    Re: Separate Reports for Separate Data.

    Following the same example... DateF & DateT are the dates range
    In this example the date range is not optional
    Code:
    Sub Somewhere
        Dim DateF As Date
        Dim DateT As Date
        '
        'here set date values from some controls
        '
    End Sub
    
    
    Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
    
        Dim MySF  As String
    
        MySF = "{tablex.fieldx}='" & txtBank.Text & "'"
        MySF = MySF & " And {tablex.datex} >= Date(" & Format(DateF,"yyyy,mm,dd") & ")"
        MySF = MySF & " And {tablex.datex} <= Date(" & Format(DateT,"yyyy,mm,dd") & ")"
        Report1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\Report\abc.rpt"
        Report1.WindowShowPrintSetupBtn = True
        Report1.WindowState = crptMaximized
        Report1.SelectionFormula = MySF
        Report1.Action = 1
    
    End Sub
    (just change table & field for the real names)
