I am having a problem creating a Hierarchical Data Report without using a DataEnvironment.
I am able to create a simple report in the example below:
For this example you will need a form with a command button(Command1) and a DataReport with 2 rptLabels and 2 rptTextbox's (located in Detail Section1).
Also a copy of the Nwind.mdb
All code can go into the Command1_click() event
This creates a nice simple report with all employees First names and Last names sorted by Lastname.Code:Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim con As New ADODB.Connection Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command Dim j As Integer Dim i As Integer Dim k As Integer Dim intCtrl As Integer 'set the connection to Nwind.mdb database con.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Nwind.mdb;" 'Set the .CommandText to desired SQL statement With cmd .ActiveConnection = con .CommandType = adCmdText 'SQL .CommandText = "Select FirstName,Lastname from Employees ORDER BY Lastname" .Execute End With 'Open the Recordset With rs .ActiveConnection = con .CursorLocation = adUseClient .Open cmd End With 'reset counters i = 0 j = 0 k = 0 'Populate the Data Report With DataReport1 .Hide Set .DataSource = rs .DataMember = "" With .Sections("Section1").Controls 'Detail Section of Report For intCtrl = 1 To .Count 'loop through all controls in detail section If TypeOf .Item(intCtrl) Is RptLabel Then .Item(intCtrl).Caption = rs.Fields(j).Name & " :" j = j + 1 End If If TypeOf .Item(intCtrl) Is RptTextBox Then .Item(intCtrl).DataMember = "" .Item(intCtrl).DataField = rs(k).Name k = k + 1 End If Next intCtrl End With .Refresh .Show End With End Sub
My Question is Say I wanted to insert a group Header/Footer into the dataReport?
For Example I wanted a Group Header showing each of these employees grouped by what their [Title] is?
1) How would I add this group Header to the DataReport?
2) Once the Headers were added what controls should be added to the Group Header/Footer?
3) What code would have to be added to populate the newly added controls on the DataReport?
4) Any other additional coding...ie. using a SHAPE command to form the recordset to get the necessary results?
Any assistance that anyone can give me would be most appeciated. Thank you.
