 VB6 Data Reporting Help Needed

Hi there.

Using Visual Basic 6, I want to have a report showing all the sales in
various groups to make it easier to read. I would like to have the sales
separated into the employee name (asc) and then by the date (desc). I have
tried for ages to get this to work. I'm sure someone will be able to easily
correct my errors in no time.

The problem at the moment is that all sales are repeated for each date.

Could you please have a look at it and see if you can get it working
properly. You can download it from
http://www.*-*-*.com/ , it's only 95kb.

Thank you,
   Shane

This question should be directed to a VB group. While many of us have
experience with VB, we mostly avoid the native VB data reports. There is a
news group microsoft.public.visualbasic.dataevnreport that might work for
you.

Hi,

I just took a quick look at your VB app, your Access2K tables/relationships,
and your README.txt objective.

Here's SQL from a query I tested on your tables that will work for that
reporting objective:

SELECT tblEmployees.ID, [FirstName] & Space(1) & [Surname] AS
EmployeeFullName, tblSales.RecordDate, tblSales.Products,
tblSales.SellPrice, tblCustomers.Customer
FROM tblCustomers RIGHT JOIN (tblEmployees LEFT JOIN tblSales ON
tblEmployees.ID = tblSales.NameID) ON tblCustomers.ID = tblSales.CustomerID
GROUP BY tblEmployees.ID, [FirstName] & Space(1) & [Surname],
tblEmployees.Surname, tblSales.RecordDate, tblSales.Products,
tblSales.SellPrice, tblCustomers.Customer
ORDER BY tblEmployees.Surname, tblSales.RecordDate DESC;

...OR your rptAllSales grouping should match the above grouping/sorting.

Thanks for your reply, I tested it and it worked.

Although, it isn't quite what I was looking for. If you looked at the "test"
report I created I had the user name only show up once, then all sales
grouped under each date instead of the date being displayed for each sale.
Is it possible to do this without it being repeated. I'm sure it is easy to
do, I just don't know how.

Cheers,
   Shane

Yeah, I know this isn't the best news group to post this message, but I
didn't know of any others.

Thanks for the tip.

You're welcome! :-)

Yes, in report design, you'll want to have an ID Header (Keep Together) and
place your EmployeeFullName in that section, a RecordDate Header and place
your RecordDate in that section, and lastly, place everything else that you
want to see in the Detail section.

Actually, this can be classified as an Access related issue too considering
that's your backend. I don't think you wrote that in your original post.
