Events Available for Report Sections and When to Use Them
Just as the report itself has events, so does each section of the report. The three section events are the Format event, Print event, and Retreat event, covered in the following sections.The Format Event
The Format event happens after Access has selected the data to be included in a report section but before it formats or prints the data. With the Format event, you can affect the layout of the section or calculate the results of data in the section, before the section actually prints. Listing 11.6 shows an example.This code is found in the rptInvoice report included in the CHAP11EX.ACCDB database found on your sample code CD-ROM. The report has controls that track how many rows of detail records should be printed on each page. If the maximum number of rows has been reached, a control with the text Continued on Next Page... is visible. If the control is visible, the page break control is also made visible, and all the controls that display the detail for the report are hidden. The report is kept from advancing to the next record.
Another example of the Format event is found in the Page Header of the rptEmployeeSales report, found in the CHAP11EX.ACCDB database. Because the report is an unbound report whose controls are populated by using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code at runtime, the report needs to determine what's placed in the report header. This varies depending on the result of the crosstab query on which the report is based. The code is shown in Listing 11.7.
The code loops through each column of the recordset that results from executing the crosstab query (in the Open event of the report). The code populates the controls in the report's Page Header with the name of each column in the query result. The final column header is set equal to Totals. Finally, any remaining (extra) text boxes are hidden. This is one of several examples in the chapter that covers the Format event.
