If the Access report cannot refresh, there may be several solutions available:

  1. Check the data source: Make sure that the data source is correctly connected and available. If the data source cannot be connected or there are issues with the data, the report will not be able to refresh. Ensure that the database connection is correct and the data queries are effective.
  2. Check for data source updates: If the data source has been updated but the report has not refreshed in time, you can manually refresh the data source. In the report designer, select the “Refresh All Tables” button under the “Data” tab to manually force the data source to refresh.
  3. Check report settings: verify if the report settings are correct. In the report designer, review the report’s data source and query for accuracy, and confirm that the data fields match the report fields. If there are any errors or mismatches, correct them and rebind the data.
  4. Check report properties: in the report designer, review the properties of the report. Pay particular attention to the “data source type” and “data source name” properties, ensuring they are set correctly. If the report uses multiple data sources, make sure to verify the settings for each data source.
  5. Check the report view: In the report view, examine the display mode and filter criteria of the report. Sometimes, the filter criteria of the report may cause data not to refresh or display incorrectly. Make sure the filter criteria are set correctly and do not affect the refresh of the report data.
  6. Rebind data: If the above methods are unsuccessful, you can try rebind the data. In the report designer, select the “Rebind Data” button under the “Data” tab, and rebind the data source and query. This can reestablish the connection with the data source and solve the refresh issue.

If the issue still persists, further examination of report design and data source settings may be necessary, or alternative reporting tools or methods may need to be considered to address the problem.
