Streamlining Form VBA Custom Report Wizard - 16

 Streamlining Custom-Made Reports Wizard Form Module VBA Code.

I hope you enjoyed exploring last week’s Custom Form Wizard, which organized its VBA code into a few standalone Class Modules. This approach allows you to access, review, and study the code directly without interfering with the Form Design or its embedded Form Module.

The Custom Report Wizard shares the same user interface design as the Form Wizard. It was originally published in December 2008 under Access 2003. In this updated version, however, the Report Wizard’s Form Module VBA code has been refactored to run from standalone Class Modules, making it easier to maintain and extend while generating reports.

The Report Wizard is designed with a TabControl containing two pages. On the first TabPage, a ListBox presents two key options, while a ComboBox allows you to select a Table or Query as the data source.

  1. Report in Column Format

  2. Report in Tabular Format

These two options are provided as a Value List in the RowSource property of the ListBox. To ensure that the first option is selected automatically, the Default Value property is set with the expression:

= WizList.Column(0,0)

This initializes the ListBox with the first item pre-selected when the Wizard opens.

The ComboBox Control displays a list of tables and select queries, filtered from the MSysObjects system table. Its Default Value property is set to the expression: =FilesList.Column(0,0), which automatically selects the first item in the list as the default.

The SQL of the File Selection Query.

SELECT MSysObjects.Name
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((MSysObjects.Type)=1 Or (MSysObjects.Type)=5) AND ((Left([Name],4))<>'WizQ') AND ((Left([Name],1))<>'~') AND ((MSysObjects.Flags)=0))
ORDER BY MSysObjects.Type, MSysObjects.Name;

The TabControl first page image is given below:

The following lines of the VBA Code are only needed in the Form's Class Module. All other Events, Subroutines, and Functions are placed in the Standalone Class Modules.

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Private obj As New RWizObject_Init

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set obj.fm_fom = Me
End Sub

The RWizObject_Init intermediary Class Module is instantiated with the object name obj in the global declaration section of the Form Module. During the Form_Load() event procedure, the form object reference is passed to the RWizObject_Init class module’s property procedure using the statement:

Set obj.fm_fom = Me

The Tabular Type Report Creation Function.

In both Wizards, the majority of the VBA code consists of variable declarations used to define the TextBox controls and their associated child Label controls, along with their dimension values. Additional properties—such as Font name, Font size, ForeColor, and other formatting attributes—are applied after the controls are created.

The statement Set Ctrl = CreateReportControl() requires several parameters to be defined before it can be executed. For example:

Set Ctrl = CreateReportControl(Rpt.Name, acTextBox, _ acDetail, , FldList(j), lngTxtLeft, lngTxtTop, lngTxtWidth, lngTxtHeight)

Each parameter has a specific role:

  1. Rpt.Name – The name of the Report where the control will be created.

  2. acTextBox – The type of control to create (in this case, a TextBox).

  3. acDetail – The section of the Report where the control will be placed (here, the Detail section).

  4. Parent – Used if the control belongs to a SubReport (omitted in this example).

  5. FldList(j) – The name of the field to bind to the TextBox.

  6. lngTxtLeft – The Left position of the control.

  7. lngTxtTop – The Top position of the control.

  8. lngTxtWidth – The Width of the control.

  9. lngTxtHeight – The Height of the control.

All these values must be predefined before calling the CreateReportControl() function to ensure the control is created with the correct properties.

After the TextBox control is created, its Font and Color attributes (such as FontName, FontSize, and ForeColor) are applied programmatically.

Next, the TextBox’s child Label control is created in the Page Header section of the Report.

  • In a Column-Format Report, however, the Label control is placed in the Detail section, positioned to the left side of each TextBox.

  • While creating the TextBox in this layout, enough horizontal space is reserved on the left to accommodate the Label control.

This ensures that field names (labels) and their corresponding values (textboxes) are neatly aligned and visually clear in the generated Report.

Several Command Buttons are placed on both pages of the TabControl, and all their event subroutines are handled within the RWiz_CmdButton Wrapper Class.

On the second page, there is a Finish button (cmdReport) that triggers the Report Wizard’s main functions. Since all Wizard-related functions reside in the WizObject_Init Class Module, a separate Command Button instance (cmdFinish) is explicitly defined in that module to handle the cmdReport button’s operations.

Unlike the other Command Button instances, the cmdFinish instance is not added to the Collection object after its OnClick event is enabled. This ensures that its functionality remains isolated and directly tied to executing the Report Wizard’s core procedures.

The Click event subroutine for this Command Button is implemented in the WizObject_Init Class Module, allowing the Report Wizard functions to be called directly from within the module.

At the start of the Class_Init() subroutine, the Create_FilesList() function is executed to generate the ComboBox’s source list of tables and select queries. This is followed by the creation of ListBox and Command Button instances, enabling their events, and adding them to the Collection object.

When the cmdReport button is clicked, it calls the Report Creation Function. Although the Column Format Report is less commonly used, it remains useful for specialized purposes such as label printing.

The RWiz_CmdButton Class Module.

This Wrapper Class Module of CommandButton Object contains the following Command Button Click Event Subroutines.

On the second page of the Report Wizard, a set of four Command Buttons positioned between the two ListBoxes controls the field selection and removal process:

  1. Single Field Move ( > ) – Moves the currently selected field from the first ListBox to the second ListBox (one field at a time).

  2. Move All Fields ( >> ) – Transfers all fields from the first ListBox to the second ListBox in a single operation.

  3. Remove Single Field ( < ) – Removes the selected field from the second ListBox and places it back in the first ListBox.

  4. Remove All Fields ( << ) – Clears all items from the second ListBox and restores them to the first ListBox at once.

Additionally, the Back Command Button clears all fields from the second ListBox and navigates back to the first page of the Report Wizard.

The Wrapper Class Module also includes the TabPage_Change() Event. This was added primarily for completeness, but in the current implementation, it is not utilized for any specific functionality.
