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:

Create calculated fields that work out your age

You can uset eh year function to work out the year from NOW function and then subtract it with your date of birth type field

Age=Year(Now( ))-Year([DoB])
