Access

When using an Access Form I select a value (in this case a University) from a dropdown list. This produces a Report of information about that University. I would like that report to be created into an Excel file and be saved as the name of the University.

RE: Access

Hi Kevin, thanks for your query. The best way to achieve what you need is to attach a macro to the OnChange event of the dropdown list. This would take the University name, generate the report and automatically export it to a named Excel file. Currently, there is no built-in feature to do this automatically in Access.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Access tip:

Hide Access Tables

One method of stopping your Access tables appearing in Database window, is to rename the table(s) with the prefix usys.

This converts the table into a system object, which cannot be viewed in the Database window.

You can show system objects in the Database window by the following:

Step 1: On the Tools menu, click Options.
Step 2: Click the View tab.
Under Show, select the System Objects check box.
Click OK.
