MS Access Forum / Conversion / February 2008"layout view is unavailable for this report."
I've successfully updated my Access 2 database to Access 2007. After acknowledging in response to a dialogue box that an (unidentifiable--by me, at least) existed, I accepted the error and the table, report and form opened for use. I've noted before here that I wished to format a limited number of records in bold. Following the directions in the help file for "conditional formatting" I immediately came to the first step : "open in layout view." I get this message with each of my database reports: "Layout view is unavailable for this report." Am I going to remain blocked in my attempt to bold just certain records in my reports? h35skmh35skmh35skm <39steps@earthlink.net> a écrit dans le message de groupe de discussion : 13r3p32l1vidpdc@corp.supernews.com... > I've successfully updated my Access 2 database to Access 2007.

How did you get this error message? You can disable Layout View for an individual report by setting its Allow Layout View property to No. You can disable Layout View for all the reports in your database by checking the box under: Office Button | Access Options | Current Database | Enable Layout View When you do this, Layout View will not be available via the menus, so you are not getting the message from there. Similarly, using: DoCmd.OpenReport "Report1", acViewLayout will open the report in design view, so you are not getting the error message from there. So, I don't follow what context is giving you this message. In any case, you don't need layout view to use Conditional Formatting. Opening the report in design view, works just fine.
