Report names in listbox

K

Ken Warthen

I recently upgraded to Access 2007 and am having some trouble with the
changes. I have a form with a listbox in which I would like to display the
names of all the reports in the database. I've tried using the following as
the rowsource for the listbox, but in form view nothing is displayed. Does
anyone know how to do this?

TIA,

"SELECT MSysObjects.Name
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((Left([Name],1))<"~") AND ((MSysObjects.Type)=-32764))
ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;"

I think you made a slight typo. Try (((Left([Name],1))<>"~") rather than
(((Left([Name],1))<"~")

That's <> instead of <

dDoug,

Thanks for your help. I actually figured it out by trial and error getting
the results I wanted with:

SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MSysObjects
WHERE ((MSysObjects.Type)=-32764)
ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;

It would be nice to know a source for system object types. Remembering
numeric expressions like -32764 for reports is tough on the brain.

Thanks again,
Ken

It would be nice, but it's officially undocumented. You have no choice but
to figure it out on your own. Fortunately, there aren't that many type
values, so it's not that difficult.
