select child records from listbox and generate a report

J

JohnLute

I'm using a form to filter and run a report. The form has a combobox and a
listbox. The combobox displays parent records and the list box displays child
records. I'm trying to use the listbox to select particular child records to
display in the report. This is very challenging for me and I don't understand
all of Allen Browne's code nor the overall design.

Here's what I currently have...

Form:
frmQueryPKWTCalcsFGs_Select
SELECT tblProfiles.txtProfileID AS PKWTID, tblProfiles.Description,
tblProfiles.Type FROM tblProfiles WHERE (((tblProfiles.Type)="PKCALC"));

Combobox:
cbPKWTID
SELECT tblProfiles.txtProfileID, tblProfiles.Version,
tblProfiles.Description, tblProfiles.Type FROM tblProfiles WHERE
(((tblProfiles.Type)="PKCALC")) ORDER BY tblProfiles.txtProfileID;

Listbox:
lstFGID
SELECT tblPKProfilesAssociations.ProfilesAssociations AS FGIDs,
tblProfiles.Description FROM tblProfiles INNER JOIN tblPKProfilesAssociations
ON tblProfiles.txtProfileID = tblPKProfilesAssociations.ProfilesAssociations
WHERE
(((tblPKProfilesAssociations.txtProfileID)=[Forms]![frmQueryPKWTCalcsFGs_Select].[Form]![cbPKWTID]))
ORDER BY tblPKProfilesAssociations.ProfilesAssociations;

Preview button:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim strForm As String

For i = 1 To CurrentProject.AllForms.Count
If CurrentProject.AllForms(i - 1).IsLoaded Then
strForm = CurrentProject.AllForms(i - 1).Name
If strForm <> "frmQueryPKWTCalcsFGs_Select" And strForm <>
"Marzetti Main Menu" Then
DoCmd.Close acForm, strForm, acSaveNo
End If
End If
Next i

On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
'Author: Allen J Browne, 2004. http://allenbrowne.com
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items
Dim strWhere As String 'String to use as WhereCondition
Dim strFGID As String 'Description of WhereCondition
Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of string
Dim strDelim As String 'Delimiter for this field type.
Dim strDoc As String 'Name of report to open.
strDelim = """"
strDoc = "rptPKWeightCalculatorASSsFGs_Select"
'Loop through the ItemsSelected in the list box.
With Me.lstFGID
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
If Not IsNull(varItem) Then
'Build up the filter from the bound column.
strWhere = strWhere & strDelim & .ItemData(varItem) &
strDelim & ","
'Build up the FGIDs from the text in the FGIDs column.
strFGID = strFGID & """" & .Column(0, varItem) & """, """
End If
Next
End With
'Remove trailing comma. Add field name, IN operator, and brackets.
lngLen = Len(strWhere) - 1
If lngLen > 0 Then
strWhere = "[PKWTID] IN (" & Left$(strWhere, lngLen) & ")"
lngLen = Len(strDescrip) - 2
If lngLen > 0 Then
strFGID = "FGIDs: " & Left$(strFGID, lngLen)
End If
End If
DoCmd.OpenReport strDoc, acViewPreview, WhereCondition:=strWhere,
OpenArgs:=strFGID
Exit_Handler:
Exit Sub
Err_Handler:
If Err.Number <> 2501 Then 'Ignore "Report cancelled" error.
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description, ,
"cmdPreview_Click"
End If
Resume Exit_Handler

End Sub

Clicking the Preview button opens the report however every control is either
blank or contains #Error. I placed a textbox called OpenArgs in the report
and it properly displays the selected IDs.

I'm completely confused by all of the Dim lines.

Can anyone help? I've reached the end of my brain's capability!
