I have made some changes to the query that my report is linked to and the
changes do not show up on the report. Is there a way to update the report so
that the changes will be registered. Thank you in advance,
laurent
 
That all depends on what changes you have made to the query. If the changes
are new fields or new field names then they will not automatically appear on
the report.
If you modify calculations but do not change the column name then your
report will reflect these new calculations.
 
well is there a particular method that i have to use. I have only made
changes to the calculation and not the columns so everything should be ok ,
however when i make the changes in the calculation a error message appears
and either none of the changes are made or the fields in which i have made
change are blank.
thank you in advance

Can you post the calculation that is giving the error ?
Is the error message in the query or the report ?
 
the error was in the report but i have made some changes and it does nocome
up anymore, however, the changes that i have made in the query are still not
showing up in the report. The change that i made is instead of having the
cost in miillions i have changed them to thousands by dividing the values in
the field by 1000. I then in properties changed the format to fixed with 0
decimals. These are the changes which have been made in the query however
dont show up on the report. does that mean that i have to delete the
existing subreport and import the one with the changed properties
 
You do not have to do that. The whole idea of basing a report on a query is
as the results in a query change the report will reflect this. There must be
some other underlying problem which I cannot answer without the database.
Does the sub report open on its own and give the correct results ?
