Convert Access Report to Access Form [Resolved]

[RobDog888]

Just taking a chance that someone may have a link to freeware utility or know
something about converting Access Objects from one type to another?

I have four reports that I need to convert from reports to forms because the
user needs to interact with the report before it gets printed.

Thanks in advance.

You could just set the control source of both to the same query or table and give them same fields to work with.

Basically I have a report that needs to allow the user to make some selections
before they print it. I am not needing to change the query since it works
correctly. Its kind of like having a print preview that will allow the user to
make new selections, see their choices and print out.

I may end up just manually recreating the reports into forms and attaching
the same query.

I decided to re-create the reports as forms manually. Luckily they are not
very complex forms that need to be created. If anyone finds anything that
may help, still post it. I would like to have it for possible uture use.

I guess I don't understand. Why can't you just have a form & report based on the same data source, let the users change whatever in the form and give them a button to then print the report? If the data's been updated in the form, that would be reflected in the report.

I have the reverse situation though. I originally have a report that is attached
to a query, but no form is involved. Now they want to be able to make some
selections before the preview it. So, I need a form to alow them to choose
some things from some dropdowns. Since we can not have interactive
controls on a report I need to create a form that will allow them to do this.

Why do users always make life hard for us?
