I am creating a database for contact information for research participants. In it, I have a form with a command button that is supposed to save 1 of 2 possible reports as a pdf for each participant based on the value of one of the text fields on the form (which is linked to a table where the field is automatically calculated as 0 or 2). Basically if the value of this field is 0 then I want the "UnsignedLetter" report saved for that participant or if the value of this field is 2, I want the "SignedLetter" report saved.
I've got most of it working except when it comes to selecting the correct report to save. FindFirst seems to be the closest to being successful but it's not quite right. When I click the button for the code below, the participants coded as 0 get both versions of the report and not just the "UnsignedLetter" version. The same does not happen with the participants coded as 2. For example, on a recordset of 5 people with 3 coded as 2 and 2 coded as 0, I get 3 correct "SignedLetter" pdf's, 2 correct "UnsignedLetter" pdf's, and an additional 2 incorrect "SignedLetter" pdf's. This is the code I'm working with:
Private Sub SaveLetters_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sFolder As String
Dim sFile As String
On Error GoTo Error_Handler
sFolder = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\"
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
With rs
.FindFirst "OncID = 2"
Do While Not .EOF
DoCmd.OpenReport "SignedLetter", acViewPreview, , "[ID]=" & ![ID],
acHidden
sFile = Nz(![UNumber], "") & "_signed" & ".pdf"
sFile = sFolder & sFile
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "SignedLetter", acFormatPDF, sFile, , , ,
acExportQualityPrint
DoCmd.Close acReport, "SignedLetter"
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
With rs
.FindFirst "OncID = 0"
Do While Not .EOF
DoCmd.OpenReport "UnsignedLetter", acViewPreview, , "[ID]=" & ![ID], acHidden
sFile = Nz(![UNumber], "") & "_unsigned" & ".pdf"
sFile = sFolder & sFile
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "UnsignedLetter", acFormatPDF, sFile, , , ,
acExportQualityPrint
DoCmd.Close acReport, "UnsignedLetter"
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
MsgBox "Letters Sent to File", vbOKOnly vbInformation, "Task Completed"
Application.FollowHyperlink sFolder
Error_Handler_Exit:
On Error Resume Next
If Not rs Is Nothing Then
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
End If
Exit Sub
Error_Handler:
If Err.Number <> 2501 Then
MsgBox "The following error has occured" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Error Number: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & _
"Error Source: cmd_GenPDFs_Click" & vbCrLf & _
"Error Description: " & Err.Description & _
Switch(Erl = 0, "", Erl <> 0, vbCrLf & "Line No: " & Erl) _
, vbOKOnly vbCritical, "An Error has Occured!"
End If
Resume Error_Handler_Exit
End Sub
I've been searching for 2 days at this point and I can't find any solutions. I've tried doing the 2 With rs
's separately, using 1 With rs
as after the Then portion of an If .NoMatch
statement for the other, changing the calculation so it results in text and not a number, and anything else I can think of or find online. I feel like I'm within throwing distance of tears at this point and would really appreciate any help you guys have.
CodePudding user response:
There is no need for FindFirst. Most of the code for both reports is the same. Use an If Then Else
and a variable to select appropriate report and dynamically execute commands.
Dim sRpt As String
With Me.RecordsetClone
Do While Not .EOF
If !OncID = 0 Then
sRpt = "Unsigned"
Else
sRpt = "Signed"
End If
DoCmd.OpenReport sRpt & "Letter", acViewPreview, , "[ID]=" & ![ID], acHidden
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, , acFormatPDF, _
CurrentProject.Path & "\" & Nz(![UNumber], "") & "_" & sRpt & ".pdf"
DoCmd.Close
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
