Hi Jeff

Yes and no. If you mean move/convert to Reporting Services, it is a no-go - those are completely different animals.

You can convert Access reports to SSRS, but not all objects are compatible.

I should have been more specific.  Actually, I didn?t realize I had sent
only the start of an email, senior moment I guess!

I am moving an Access front end to the web (SQL backend).  I am fine moving
everything (especially as I get to rewrite and streamline things I did
previously) but I really have very little idea on how to run reports in
Visual Studio. .  I will need to be able to send reports to Excel or create
a pdf to be attached to an email.    I used to work with Crystal Reports
many years ago, but I am looking for something similar to the Access reports
for the Web.

I am not sure that I have the time to learn anything new right now, so I am
hoping for some suggestions on what others have used.

Thank you,

Hi Jeff,



Unfortunately VS reports are very different from Access. Based on my experience (that I didn't do) would be to find an online course on VS reports. I tried to learn from books and MS docs but that's still not enough to get moving effectively.



Good luck ? Dan!

I was able to convert a dozen reports successfully from ms Access to SSRS
using SSDT.

I did have problems with embedded reports (subreports), so I had to make
versions without the sub report, then import them and the separate sub
reports, then embed the sub manually.

I also had to fix several expressions in the reports, but it was still
faster than recreating the reports from scratch

I forget if I had to strip the VBA from reports that were using it, but I
found most of the stuff I was doing in VBA was not needed in ssrs, or was
handled some other way.

Oh, and I might add that I exported all if the reports into a new access
database before importing them into ssrs.

Look at

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/import-reports-from-microsoft-access-reporting-services


And

https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4187/converting-ms-access-reports-to-sql-server-reporting-services-reports/

Look into SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). You can set up reports to
run on schedules, set up subscriptions,  it is web based. You can manually
create .rdl files, or use them as templates to programmatically create
.rdlc files.

Subject: [AccessD] clear x characters...
Message-ID: <091601d5e1c1$9ff7e9e0$dfe7bda0$@gmail.com>

Dear people
I import a lot of records from a mysql table which are like:
<font size=1>ANGRY BIRDS  2<br> Thurop Van Orman, John Rice (USA, Finland)<br>5/9/2019 ? Spentzos Film</font>
<font size=1> THE FAVORITE<br>Giorgos Lanthimos (USA, UK, Irland )<br>5/9/2019 - Feelgood Ent</font>
etc?

What I need is to split it in three different fields (columns)

1. to keep only the Movie Title clearing the first 14 standard characters and everything after the end of the title e.g.
    ANGRY BIRDS  2
    THE FAVORITE
2. to keep only the director?s name (after the first ?<br> ? and everything after the first ?(? e.g.
    Thurop Van Orman, John Rice
    Giorgos Lanthimos
3. to keep only the Production Countries (including into parenthesis) clearing all the previous and after that characters

is that possible from msaccess query?

Many thank?s
/kostas

Hi Ryan

Thanks! 

I should have noted, that my experience goes 11 years back, so I was not aware of this newer tool.
Looks cool.

A combination of MID$() and INSTR() should do that fairly easily.

Director = Mid$(instr(strData,"<br>" + 5),instr(strData,"(") - instr(strData,"<br>" + 5))

I did say it was aircode. You should have been able to work out a solution based on the 
concept.  :)

These work.

(I had to include the TRIM$() because your sample data is inconsistent in leading spaces)


Function Test() As Long
Dim strData As String
'strData = "<font size=1>ANGRY BIRDS  2<br> Thurop Van Orman, John Rice (USA, 
Finland)<br>5/9/2019 - Spentzos Film</font>"
strData = "<font size=1> THE FAVORITE<br>Giorgos Lanthimos (USA, UK, Irland 
)<br>5/9/2019 - Feelgood Ent</font>"

Debug.Print Trim$(Mid$(strData, 14, InStr(strData, "<br>") - 14))

Debug.Print Trim$(Mid$(strData, InStr(strData, "<br>") + 4, InStr(strData, "(") - InStr(strData, 
"<br>") - 4))

Debug.Print Mid$(strData, InStr(strData, "("), InStr(strData, ")") - InStr(strData, "(") + 1)

End Function
