    How to create a dynamic crosstab report in Access 2002 and later

    You can use Microsoft Access 2002 to create dynamic reports that are based on parameter crosstab queries. You can also create reports to match a dynaset that is returned by such a query. Dynamic reports allow your customized reports to show only the most recently modified data. This gets rid of the need for fixed column headings and empty columns.

    The following example uses starting dates and ending dates that are entered on a form as the parameters in a crosstab query. When a button on the form is chosen, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) functions run the crosstab query that creates a dynaset. The contents of the dynaset are then presented in a report.

    As any regular user of Microsoft Word will know, it’s possible to create a document with a ‘watermark’ printed on the background of documents. (A watermark being a semi-transparent image that appears to sit below the text on a page)

    The ability to watermark an Access report isn’t built in, but with a little bit of work this feature can easily be replicated. (To create your watermark you will need a decent graphics manipulation package such as Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, the Gimp or Paint.NET [click here] )
