Streamlining Form VBA Custom Report Wizard - 16 ~ LEARN MS-ACCESS TIPS AND TRICKS

Streamlining Custom Made Reports Wizard Form Module VBA Code.

Hope you like the Custom Form Wizard of last week, which organized its VBA Code in standalone Class Modules. You can reach the Code and review and study them without interfering with the Form Design and Form Module.

The custom-made Form Wizard and the Report Wizard Forms have no difference in their User Interface Design. The Report Wizard was also published earlier, way back in December 2008 under Access 2003. Now, the Report Wizard Form Module VBA Codes run from the standalone Class Module to create the Reports.

The Report Wizard is designed using a TabControl with two Pages. The first TabPage displays the Wizard Type Options in a ListBox and the Table/Query list in a ComboBox Control.

1. Report in Column Format.

2. Report in Tabular Format.

The above two Options are inserted as Value List in the RowSource Property of the ListBox. The Default Value Property is set with the expression: = WizList.Column(0,0) to select the first item by default.

The ComboBox Control displays the list of Tables and Select-Queries filtered from the System Table MSysObjects. The ComboBox's Default Value Property is also set with the expression: =FilesList.Column(0,0) to select the first file as 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 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 area of the Form Module. In the Form_Load() Event Procedure the Form Object reference is passed to the RWizObject_Init Class Module Property Procedure through the statement Set obj.fm_fom = Me.

The RWizObject_Init Class.

The RWizObject_Init VBA Code is listed below. All the Report creation functions are placed within this Class Module.

The Tabular Type Report Creation Function.

The major part of the Code lines in both these Wizards are Variable declarations for defining the TextBox and for its Child Label Controls, and for their dimension values, other values like Font, Font Size, ForeColor, and other attribute values settings also come after the creation of these controls.

The statement Set Ctrl = CreateReportControl():

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

have several Parameters which need their values predefined before calling the CreateReportControl() Function. The first Parameter is the Report Name, next is the type of control (here the TextBox), where to create the Control (in the Detail Section), next is the Parent Parameter if it is a SubReport (here omitted), the fifth parameter is the Field Name and the next four parameters are the control's dimension values.

The Font and Color attributes of the control are set after its creation. Similarly, the TextBox control's Child Label Control is created next in the Page-Header Section of the Report.

In the above Column-Format Report, the Label Control is created in the Detail Section and to the left side of each TextBox Control. The TextBox is created after leaving enough space for the child-label control on the left side.

There are several Command Buttons on both Pages of the TabControl and all their Event Subroutines are run in the RWiz_CmdButton Wrapper Class. There is one Command Button on the second Page with the caption Finish that runs the Report Wizard's Functions. All the Wizard Functions are placed in the WizObject_Init Class Module. For that reason, a separate Command Button Control Instance is defined for the cmdFinish in the WizObject_Init Class Module. The Command Button name on the Form is cmdReport with the caption Finish. The cmdFinish Instance created in the Class Module is not added to the Collection Object after enabling the OnClick Event.

The Click Event Subroutine of this Command Button is written in the WizObject_Init Class Module so that the Report Wizard Functions can be called from this Module directly.

At the beginning of the Class_Init() Subroutine, the Create_FilesList() Function is called to create the ComboBox's source list of Tables and Select Queries, followed by the creation of ListBoxes, Command Buttons instances, enabling their Events and adding them to the Collection Object.

The cmdReport Click Event calls the Report Creation Function. The Column Type Report is not likely to be used, but it is useful for Label Printing.

The RWiz_CmdButton Class Module.

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

The Set of four Command Buttons, between the List Boxes on the second Page of the Wizard Form, controls the Field select/unselect operations. The first button moves the selected field from the first list to the second Listbox for the Report only one field at a time. The second Command Button with two greater-than symbols moves all the fields in the first ListBox to the 2nd ListBox.

The next Command Button removes the item selected from the second ListBox and places it back in the first ListBox. The fourth Command Button Click will remove all the List items selected earlier in the second ListBox for Report and move them all together back in the first ListBox.

The Back Command Button Click will empty the second ListBox and go back to the Report Wizard's first Page.
