My day job is working with ASP and SQL Server, but the boss has asked me to
help him out with an Access report question. I don't work a lot with Access,
so I'm hoping someone can help me out.
My manager recently upgraded from Access 97 (ack!) to Access 2003. He's
built a bunch of reporting forms that take data, reformat it in various
ways, and spits it back as reports.
In his Access '97 app, he inserted a bit of syntax into the design that
would query the user with a popup box for more information before rendering
the report. In other words, his design included something like the
following:
| [quarter] |
The application would pop up and request the current quarter as text input.
Boss would fill it in, and the report would be generated.
Using the same app with Office 2003, it simply renders |[Quarter]| as plain
text, and doesn't return a popup for input in the way he wants.
Can someone point me in the right direction, or at least suggest what I need
to be reading in the docs? I just need a starting point.
Thanks very much.
