I have written the code below. It is called from within a form, which is
supposed to set the recordsource property. Unfortunately, the statement
Reports.("Anafora_kwdikou_klinikhs").RecordSource = strSelect
fails.

How can I go about this?

The code is :

Private Sub btnReport_Click()
Dim strSelect As String

strSelect = "SELECT EPISKEYH.Kwdikos_klinikhs,
EPISKEYH.Kwdikos_episkeyhs, EPISKEYH.Kwdikos_mhxanhmatos,
ANTALLAKTIKA.Perigrafh, ANTALLAKTIKA.Kostos FROM EPISKEYH INNER JOIN
ANTALLAKTIKA ON EPISKEYH.Kwdikos_episkeyhs = ANTALLAKTIKA.Kwdikos_episkeyhs
WHERE (((EPISKEYH.Kwdikos_klinikhs)= Me.txtKwdikos_Klinikhs));"

Reports.("Anafora_kwdikou_klinikhs").RecordSource = strSelect

DoCmd.OpenReport (Anafora_kwdikou_klinikhs)

End Sub


thx, in advance

George,

In order to change the report recordsource programatically, you need to
first open the report in design view:

DoCmd.OpenReport "Anafora_kwdikou_klinikhs", acViewDesign
Reports.("Anafora_kwdikou_klinikhs").RecordSource = strSelect
DoCmd.OpenReport "Anafora_kwdikou_klinikhs", acViewPreview '(or acViewNormal
to print)

This will work fine in an .mdb, but fail in an .mde, as the design is
inaccessile in an .mde. If you need to do it in an .mde then you could base
the report on a saved query and use the code to change the querydef instead.

HTH,
Nikos

You should set the report's record source in the report's
Open event.

If you're only trying to set the Where clause in the record
source query, then use the OpenReport method's
WhereCondition argument instead of messing around with the
record source:

Dim strSelect As String
strSelect = "Kwdikos_klinikhs= " & Me.txtKwdikos_Klinikhs
DoCmd.OpenReport "Anafora_kwdikou_klinikhs", , , strSelect
