Hi, I am a new member in this site. I am also just learning VB6. I made some progress in programming a report generator for my farm. However, after having designed a report using Data Report designer, I keep getting the same result or reports repeatedly although I have changed some parameters already. There's a need to click on the command button twice or reprocess the report twice just to get the desired data. Otherwise, old data on the reports remains which was actually the result of previous report processing. There seems to be a cache that keeps throwing the same data repeatedly although another recordsets of data have already been saved in the source table. I use Data Environment as data source for my report, Data Access Object for my forms and MS Access as database repository. Thanks.

Jump to PostMaybe somehow when you show the report, it's not updated yet, maybe it gets only updated after you click the ok(or whatever). If you send your code, someone might be able to catch your problem.

Veena, thanks for the prompt reply. But, I already tried that and no success.

Veena, thanks again. Tried that too, still no luck.
I don't know if you found a solution but I fixed this by setting the Report Data Source to nothing and then assigning it again to the Data Environment like this:
Set DataReport1.DataSource = Nothing
Set DataReport1.DataSource = DataEnvironment1Do this before doing anything and that should fix the problem.
Rich, Thanks for your reply. I just tried it. Didn't work for me. I fetch a set of data records that could fill up to 7 columnar pages (e.g. feed requirements of a huge number of sows. very important for us farmers to forecast budgeting and raw materials). I think the size of the data being generated is pushing MS access or MS Jet4.0 provider to the limit. (not sure). I tried for the past few days to do all sorts of initializing the data environment, tables and data object but causing another error "failing to get row sets" (whatever). In the meantime, I am just contented with clicking the command button one more time as if refreshing the displayed report the 2nd time. Hey, that is what is available in Crystal Reports but unfortunately it's not available in my town as yet. At least, Im happy enough for now clicking my Ok button twice. Really appreciate your concern to newbies like me.

Here is that part of the code where I show my datareport1:

dStartDate = Format(dStartDate, "MM/dd/YYYY")
dEndDate = cmbEndMonth.Text & " 28, " & cmbEndYear.Text 'part of determining
dEndDate = Format(dEndDate, "MM/dd/YYYY") 'last date of the month.
dEndDate = xLastDay(dEndDate) 'Ending date to report
'Check correctnext of month entered
If Trim(cmbFromMonth.Text) = "" Or Not MonthNameOk(cmbFromMonth.Text) Then
MsgBox "Enter a proper starting month name! ", vbExclamation, "Wrong entry"
cmbFromMonth.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
If Trim(cmbEndMonth.Text) = "" Or Not MonthNameOk(cmbEndMonth.Text) Then
MsgBox "Enter a proper ending month name! ", vbExclamation, "Wrong entry"
cmbEndMonth.SetFocus
Exit Sub

If cmbEndMonth.ListIndex < cmbFromMonth.ListIndex And _

My bad, I have tried to cut and paste but I can't get the right formatting of my code on this message box.
After
.delete
try to put
.update
plusplus,
Thanks for the reply. It didn't work but I caught the idea that the data environment which somehow does the caching of data needs to be updated.
I have been fiddling with the data outside the application using MS Access/VB6 Addins - Visual Data Manager directly. And even reset my PC or manually deletes the records in the table being pointed by the data environment, still the old report data gets retained.
After few days of playing around with all the properties of the data environment, the BEGIN TRANS, COMMIT TRANS and putting a PAUSE using a MSGBOX did the work:
---------------------------------------------------------
'*** Save all data on a daily basis and save to REPODETAILS table
StoreReportDetails dStartDate, dEndDate
'Summarizes data on a weekly basis and save to a REPOSUMMARY table.
StoreReportWeekSummary
'*** Environment using MSjet 4.0 OLE provider with
' SQL command:
' SELECT YearNr, monthnr, weeknr, tagnr, PigAge, pigtype,
' feedcode, feedname,heads, eachmealkg, totalcost,
' totalkg, bags FROM REPOSUMMARY
'------------------------------------------------------
Load dtaEnvPigs
With dtaEnvPigs
'*** Open the dta environment, to prepare begintrans
If .RepoSummary.State = 0 Then .RepoSummary.Open
End If
'*** Force saving of data by committing transactions
dtaEnvPigs.RepoSummary.BeginTrans
dtaEnvPigs.RepoSummary.CommitTrans
'*** Close the environment after loading***
dtaEnvPigs.RepoSummary.Close
'*** Give the provider sufficient delay time to commit trans.
If MsgBox("Press Ok to continue.", vbOKCancel, "Options") = vbCancel Then Exit Sub
End If End With
'***Two reports use this SUB, if isSumReport is true, DataReport1 gets printed.***
If Not isSumReport Then
DataReport1.LeftMargin = 200
DataReport1.ReportWidth = 8865
DataReport1.Width = 9100
DataReport1.Title = IIf(isDiscounted, "Discounted", " ")
If DataReport1.Visible = False Then
DataReport1.Show 1
Else
DataReport4.LeftMargin = 200
DataReport4.ReportWidth = 8865
DataReport4.Width = 9100
If DataReport4.Visible = False Then DataReport4.ShowEnd If
'*** I don't need this trash anymore, unload it.

God bless you all.
Just ran across your post looking for help on something similar.
Have you cleared the 'save old data with report' box on the report file itself?
Open the report, under File // Report Options
there will be a checkbox for "Save Data With Report". If it is checked, uncheck it and see if that fixes the issue.

THANK YOU.
THIS CODE SOLVED MY PROBLEM.
Just another thought I find works great! Simple solution:
dataenvironment1.rstitle.open
moviereport.show
dataenvironment1.rstitle.close
"title" is a sql command defined in a connect in my dataenvironment. When used in this manner you must precede it with "rs". moviereport is a data report dependent on the "title" query. In effect you're opening and closing the query so that new information is recognized.

What is your project about?And what do you actually want to show on te Data Report. It is an easy task. No need to write too much of codes like this to create a repaort. If you write the SQL statement correctly inside the Dataenvironment as per the requirement and under the Button click you have to write about five to six lines to generate the report.
I have encountered such problem before but I solved it by trying some ideas. You can make a comment in my fb accts and I will give you the code. junlan438@yahoo.com
