View RepliesHi!
I have a continuos form (list of records) with a tool bar with "filter by form buton". This buton allow to users filter the list of records showed by the form by diferent field criterias.
After applied a filter I need a buton in the tool bar to print the filtered records on a report with a specific design: logo company, header, footer, etc.
I don't know how to apply the same filter used by the form to a report. Notice the filter by form continuos change depending the user.
I have not too much experiencie in programming. So I appreciate in advance any help.
Thanks.
I am trying to create a form with control buttons on the form for all the letters of the alphabet.
When a user clicks on the button for A, I would like them to only see records that starts with an "A".
I assume that I should apply an event to the button's OnClick-property, with a filter, but I can't seem to
get it right...any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Hello everyone.
I am having trouble with applying filter on 2 date fields in form. I have succeeded by applying fiter on report by Date, but I just can't seem to work it out on Form!
I believe there has to be something to do with the DoCmd code.
I have a main form (frmRate) which has fields (txtDate & txtValidity) that contain dates.
I have a subform called (frmSearchRateCustomer) which has 4 fields (txtStartDate, txtEndDate, txtStartDate2, txtEndDate2) where the data range should be filled in as search criteria. I have also an additional combobox (cboCustomer) where user can select customer as a search criteria as well.
I have a button that has to do the Search in frmRate.
The combobox criteria works very well, just the date filtering is not working. I am pasting my code as follows:
Code:Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearch_ClickDim strCustomer As StringDim strFilter As StringDim stDocName As StringDim strForm As StringDim strField As String 'Name of your Order field.Dim strWhere As String 'Where condition for OpenReport.Const conDateFormat = "#dd/mm/yyyy#"Dim strField2 As String 'Name of your Arrival field.Dim strWhere2 As String 'Where condition for OpenReport.Const conDateFormat2 = "#dd/mm/yyyy#" strForm = "frmRate" strField = "txtDate" strField2 = "txtValidity" ' For the Order Date Search Criteria Date range If IsNull(Me.txtStartDate) Then If Not IsNull(Me.txtEndDate) Then 'End date, but no start. strWhere = strField & " < " & Format(Me.txtEndDate, conDateFormat) End If Else If IsNull(Me.txtEndDate) Then 'Start date, but no End. strWhere = strField & " > " & Format(Me.txtStartDate, conDateFormat) Else 'Both start and end dates. strWhere = strField & " Between " & Format(Me.txtStartDate, conDateFormat) & " And " & Format(Me.txtEndDate, conDateFormat) End If End If ' Debug.Print strWhere 'For debugging purposes only. ' For the Arrival Date Search Criteria Date rangeIf IsNull(Me.txtStartDate2) Then If Not IsNull(Me.txtEndDate2) Then 'End date, but no start. strWhere2 = strField2 & " < " & Format(Me.txtEndDate2, conDateFormat2) End If Else If IsNull(Me.txtEndDate2) Then 'Start date, but no End. strWhere2 = strField2 & " > " & Format(Me.txtStartDate2, conDateFormat2) Else 'Both start and end dates. strWhere2 = strField2 & " Between " & Format(Me.txtStartDate2, conDateFormat2) & " And " & Format(Me.txtEndDate2, conDateFormat2) End If End If If IsNull(Me.cboCustomer.Value) Then strCustomer = "Like '*'" Else strCustomer = "='" & Me.cboCustomer.Value & "'" End If ' Build filter string strFilter = "[txtCustomerName] " & strCustomer DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, acNormal, , strWhere ' for date DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, acNormal, , strWhere2 ' for date stDocName = "frmRate" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal ' Apply filter to report With Forms![frmRate] .Filter = strFilter .FilterOn = True End WithExit_cmdSearch_Click: Exit SubErr_cmdSearch_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdSearch_Click End Sub
I have used the same code as I have used for my Report, just changed few things like rpt --> frm etc...
Please Help me, because I am STUCK! Thank u~~
I have a form with a bottom that has a macro that uses applyfilter to filter the current form based on what is within a textbox located on the form.
I used the macobuilder and have my where condition as
[num] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*" Or [name] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*"
This works when I open the form by itself but when I try adding the form to a navigation form I get prompted to put in "num" and "[Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] " etc. when I click the bottom.
I Have 2 combo box on a form: Product_Type (6 values) and Product_Name (30 values and each belongs to a type), I want to narrow down the Product_Name to related Product_type whenever I select a type in the first field. Is there anyway to do this?

I have only done the macro that will open the customer form but can't figure out how to do the filter part.

This 2002 code is producing an error ?
I have a query where on an IIF result a field is displayed or an "OK"
I have an imported field of 6 chrs where I only want the left 5 so I use
Loc:=Left([Location],5) ,
I then compare the result in, MoveTo: to another fixed field [PreferLoc]
MoveTo: IIf([Loc]=[PreferLoc],"OK",[PreferLoc])
I wish to citeria out all the "OK" values so I have <>"OK" in the critria section but when I try to run the query I am presented with a selection box asking for Loc
This Query feeds a report so I set the filter to yes in the report properties and use [MoveTo]<>"OK" as the filter and this works great until I close and reopen the app where the filter has gone ?
Can anyone advise where I am going wrong with my query and or my report ?
thanks in advance

Hi,
I am working on an ADP ( first time working with this ). I have a form that is based on a parametized query.
The record source for the form is the parametized query which works fine the first time it is brought up. When the user wants to change the client number, a button "change client" is clicked and the event that gets triggered is openform=("edit client")...... Well, instead of being prompted, I get the error "The ApplyFilter action contiains a filter name that cannot be applied".... When I do a right -click on that same button, and "remove filter "I can get my prompt, but I dont want to keep doing that. I am not sure how to remove the filter from this button. I am not sure what the error message is telling me. Thanks for your help.
I have created a runtime setup package for a friend to let her use my Access 2010 application, without having to purchase Access 2010. However, the ApplyFilter macro in one of the forms doesn't work in the runtime environment. The message suggested I use a SelectObject before ApplyFilter but that gave me another error.

Dim choice As String

Whenever the last line is executed, i.e. rset2=rset1.OpenRecordset, I get the following error message:<<<Too few parameters, Expected 2>.. It used to work before? Maybe an issue with my library?
Is there a way to apply a different filter to each column in a table without the filters affecting each other?

I am trying to apply a filter to a datasheet subform using a combo box.
This is the code I have used on the "after update" event:
[Ordering - Price list items].Form.Filter = "[Secondary Category]=" & Combo72.Column(1)
[Ordering - Price list items].Form.FilterOn = True
When I run the query i get the following error:
Runtime error 3021:

I am not sure why it isn't working as this is how I have set up other combo box filters and it worked fine.
I have a form with data fields and a list box, data is coming from a query. When I add a toggle button to apply a filter to the data on the form, the data in the fields are filtered, but the list box still shows all the data items. How do I use a toggle button or something on the form that when activated it filters the data in the list box and the list box only shows the filtered content.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using an apply filter in a form to find records in a split form.
The macro which I am using is:
[SLIDE] Like "*" & [Forms]![SALES]![ENTERREFDATA] & "*"
However I the filter to return only records which match the text exactly.
I'm trying to implement a macro to filter through accidents to see if my company has already been hired on a particular case.
In the first form the user enters the date, location, and last name of one of the drivers. Then they click a button which opens a new form as a datasheet with accidents that match ANY of the three controls. Evidently, I need a filter that contains some form of a series of OR operators.
However, whenever I try any variation of a button that opens the second form and then applies the filter, I always get no matches.
Hi,
OK my main form is unbound and I have a subform in it which is shown as a datasheet. What I'm trying to do is have a list box control at the top that allows the user to filter the records shown in the subform.
Q1. Do I need to have this set-up like this? Is it possible to just use one form? I have tried doing this but when I add my list box, lables etc to the top of the form or the header they just do not appear in datasheet view.
Q2. If I do need to use a subform how do I reference it when using DoCmd.ApplyFilter from my main form:
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "DrawingNum = '32-35612'"
At the moment this gives an error saying that the action or method is invalid because the form is unbound.
Thanks for your time,

Hi!
I am making a form that will be composed of two subforms. Each subform will be based on a differrnt table, however the tables are identicle as far as the number of columns. I designed form_1 to be based on table_1. Now, is there a way to copy form_1 (which will be changed to form_2 in the copied version) and redirect it to table_2?
I tried copy and pasting form_1, opened it in design view, looked at the Form properties, specifically: Data-> Record Source, and changed it to table_2, but.....the form didn't pick up table_2 field names, values, etc. I am guessing this is not the way to do this but how does one do this?
Thanks
John
How can I create a "Filter Button" on a form and filter my records? I create a textbox on a form and a filter button on the right. Then I click the filter futton, the filter function will search/match the content in the box through the datasheet. And then the results of the filtering will be pop up on the split form datasheet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have placed a filter button on a form as a filter and written the following on-click event procedure:
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdApplyFilterSort
Me.Filter = "ACCOUNT_DO_NOT_EMAIL = 'HS'"
Me.FilterOn = True
When I click the filter button I get a blank message box titled 'Microsoft Access" and an OK button, when closed the filter works perfectly.I have checked this procedure in other forms and it works without showing the blank message box.The only difference with this form is that its control source is a union query.
Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)
Hello Everyone
I have a form with a "Keyword Search" This functions great. It applies a filter when I do the search. Which is what I want.
But when I'm done, I want the filter removed. I can do this with a macro "ShowAllRecords". This works fine when I click on the command button it is applied to. The only thing is, it is no longer sorted by the "Auto" number field :( . I would like this to be done automatically when I remove the filter.
Is there any way to do this without clicking on my field, and then clicking on the "sort" button on the toolbar?
Thanks for any help.
:p Up to now, I've been able to find the answers to my questions by doing a search on this forum.
So thanks to everyone who has been answering everyone's questions

Hello friends.....
I am new here... and want your help...
Please tell me how I can apply alphabetic grade (A, B, C or F) in MS access
For example we have these marks of students
45
55
86
74
49
Then how I can apply grade to these values..
Hopping to see u soon.
Take care, and have a good time.
I will have the following tables:
tblSurvey
tblQuestions
tblAnswers
tblResponses
QuestionID -PK
SurveyTakerID - PK
Response
You get the idea - a normalized table.
Anyway for questions that state "check all that apply" I could either store in the Response Field a yes, or a no (or a number code for those answers) OR simply store the yes values for ones that are checked. Seems like the latter, but for querying later, will I run into problems? I have had different views based on reviewing posts.
