Capture The Results Of A Filter By Form?
Apr 10, 2005
Not sure whether this really belongs in the Forms, or VBA or forum, picked Forms because I think it stems from that, despite probably involving VBA in the solution...
I'm getting used to using filter by form and find it quite useful for those off-the-cuff queries, however, it is possible to 'capture' the records so that the results of the filtering can be passed to a readymade report (so that they can be printed out in a more presentable manner than the table view)?
(To what would the Record Source of the report be set?)

Is it possible to capture a form's filter? In Access 2013, I have a form (from a template database) listing contact information. I can set filters by clicking on the column headers and selecting which records I want displayed. There is also a button to run a mail merge with Word. I want the merge to only include those records displayed on the form at the time it's run.

When I'm applying a sort and filter in a form, Access is updating the Filter and Order By properties of the form, so that it is possible to re-use in conjunction with Filter on Load and Order By on Load properties. However, a consequence of this is that when the form is closed, it prompts the user whether they want to save the design of the form. I want to circumvent this as I don't want to re-use the sort and filter and I don't want to be prompted to save the design of the form.
Although I can circumvent this by closing the form using a method that doesn't prompt for saving, the additional complication here is that the form in question is in the Navigation subform of a Navigation Control. Hence when I click on a another Navigation button, it (not me) closes my current form and hence prompts me whether I want to save the design of the form (if I have been sorting and/or filtering). I can't see how to circumvent this and the prompting is resulting in unacceptable usability.

I have a query form that allows user to search by two criteria (in which, user can select "And" or "Or" clause for the two criteria). I also allow user to filter the results by date range. On the form, I have two command button, one will prompt the results in a query table, and the other will prompt a report.
Problem 1
I manage to prompt report with a date range (i.e. two unbound text boxes for start date and end date). But, I dont' manage to disable the filter if the date range is null. Below is the code for this report command button. Should I use a toggle button to make a select case?

str1MainCate = "Like '*'"
Else

I have kept the names as simple as I can for the example sake to which I can substitute my names in after.
I have a split form - form1, I have a check box on this form - checkbox1 - That I would like to use to make only the checked results from the table - table1 - show and if it is not checked to show all the results. How would I go about doing this? The table field is called field1.

I have a Main form with a sub form.The main form is a customer record (form view), and the sub form is all other customers (same fields) datasheet view.I have a navigation bar to filter (using different queries) the results in the sub form
same postcode
Same company (different location)
everyone except Main form customer
I cannot get a different filter (Query) to show only customers whose name begins with the same letter as the customer in the main form?I have been trying Like but think I am referencing it wrong, as it prompts me to enter a value rather than using the value in the field in the main form.This is what I have in the query (of the subform)
Customer ID: <>[Forms]![NewAllCustomerListF]![CustomerID]
Customer Name: Like "[Forms]![NewAllCustomerListF]![CustomerName]" & "*"

I am using MS Acess2000 and need to make a report that will be passed around with production work. My primary key is the invoice number of the work order. Currently to open an invoice i have a macro, attached to a query with the following qualifiers; Like [Enter invoice]
This pulls up the current record fine.
for the form and flags the folloing in the property filter sectin of the form
(((([CustomerTableMasterRef].[Invoice]) Like [Enter invoice])))
PART 2
Now I am trying to use microsofts how to filter a report using a forms filter...
This picks up on the Invoice query as shown above but does not just insert the query results...
Is there better code or another way to approach this... Currently i am using:
Name:cmdOpenReport
Caption: Open Report
OnClick: [Event Procedure]
Private Sub CmdOpenReport_Click()
If Me.Filter = "" Then
MsgBox "Open an Invoice First"
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomers", acViewPreview, , Me.Filter
End If
End Sub
Using this code not only does my report not detect the correct fields to import data (no data is filled in) but it requerys the invoice or atleast should, which I could do with out all of that code...
Where should i go from here?

Hello everyone,
Simply put, I want to create a form to which I can enter a raw SQL statement (such as: SELECT * FROM contacts without having to create a new Access query.
The way i have tried to do this is by creating a form which uses an onclick function to pass the string variable (the query statement) to a sencond form and have the second form run the statement. I can pass the variable ok but I cant figure out how to the use the variable string in the second form to execute as the "Record Source" of the form.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Curveo

I have two forms that have a unique field (SSN).As I'm working in one form, I want to be able to pull up the other form (which isn't a problem). On the second form pulled up, I want the record to match the first form (SSN) - this is the problem.
I believe SetFocus is what I need to use but I don't know how to capture the SSN from the first form to use as the focus for the second form.

I have a table that has the fields Scheme no, Title, Area, Pole No, Rate No, Description, Quantity. Each Scheme No has a number of Poles attached to it, and subsequently each Pole has a number of different rates attached (eg of table shown below)
On the corresponding form I have ID No, Title and Area in the Form header as they are the same for all fields. Therefore in the detail section I want the rest of the fields. The problem I have is I want the user to be able to choose a pole no from a combo box and show up only the corresponding rates to that pole. So for instance below the user could select in the combo box Pole no YP08 and only the rates used on that pole would show up (in this case it would be just HV99 and its description).
SchemeNo.....Title......Area......Pole Number.....Rate......Description etc
001...............xxx........UK...........YP26.... .......LV01..........xxxxx
001...............xxx........UK...........YP26.... .......HV89..........xxxxx
001...............xxx........UK...........YP08.... .......HV99..........xxxxx
001...............xxx........UK...........YP09.... .......YG67..........xxxxx
001...............xxx........UK...........YP99.... .......LG45..........xxxxx
I hope this makes sense to you. Any help with how I can set up this combo box would be greatly appreciated

I have a field of user inputed data. The data are dates. The standardized way we'd like dates entered is DMMDDYYYY. The first D is inconsequential, it just needs to be present, whereas M means month, the D means day, and the Y means year.
I would like to filter my results to ONLY see the data that has been inputed correctly. Can you filter data in a query based on formatting, and if yes, how so?
(The title is somewhat misleading because I don't want to filter the results necessarily, I just want the incorrectly entered data to not even show up period)

My understanding of the LIKE operator seems to be deficient for filtering a query when using the Access query pane. I have a combo box that lists the values to be filtered. One option in the combo box is "No Selection". If "No Selection" is selected, I want the filter turned off, in other words ALL records are shown.
In theory the following code would seem to be correct when placed in the criteria line. It does not work: IIf([forms]![type5frm].[combo2]=24,Like "*",[forms]![type5frm].[combo2])
If the value of COMBO2 =24 (No Selection), then I would like all records to show up, but no records are displayed. The FALSE side of the IIF statement works correctly.
As an experiment I tried LIKE by itself and it displayed all the records: LIKE "*"
Another failed try:IIf([forms]![type5frm].[combo2]=24,[agency]) Like "*",[forms]![type5frm].[combo2]) AGENCY is the fieldname.
A more exotic attempt that failed:IIf([forms]![type5frm].[combo2]=24,Val(Str([agency]) Like "*"),[forms]![type5frm].[combo2])
Any thoughts?

I have a report containing all the fields from my "main table". I want to create buttons on a from that will filter information from the report. For instance, I have a field titled "Priority". I want to create a button that will filter the report to only show records with a "Level 1" priority. Is there anyway I can do this using VBA?

I've created a table (Films). One of the fields is linked to another table (People). The table 'People' is a list of people with a categorization next to them (e.g. actor, director etc)
Is there a way that I can create a field called 'Actors' in the table 'Films' and for the drop down only to display those people who have been categorized as an actor?

I have a query that I am using in VBA to select the number of days equipment is past due for service. I have an equipment table with a last maintenance field (tbleqDP with field DPLstMnt) and another table (tblmaintdue) that defines the maintenance interval. I have a query (qrynumdays) that finds the number of days from tblmaintdue for the equipment type based on a value in cboMaintEquipType combobox. The VBA then generates a report based on which type of equipment is selected using a select case statement. An excerpt of the VBA is below:
Select Case cboMaintEquipType.Value
Case "DP"
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("qryoverdue", _
"Select DPTag, DPLstMnt, DateDiff(""d"",DPLstMnt,Now())-NumDays AS Overdue from tbleqDP, qrynumdays where Overdue > 0")
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryoverdue"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptDPmntovrdue", acViewPreview
I am having problems with the "where overdue > 0" statement. It is asking me for parameter value for overdue. How can I get this to automatically filter out any values that are negative - in other words, don't report on equipment that is not past its maintenance interval due date.
Also, I think there is a way around how I am naming my query in the createquerydef function because later I just delete the query after the report is run. Is there a better way to do that.

I'm creating an item look-up form with 2 criteria that I wan't to auto-filter as the user types. I'm placing my code in the Change event of the textbox, and only calling the .text for the current textbox (.value or no property at all for the other). The filter works smoothly and as intended until it returns no results in my table, and then it pops me with the error. I've tried forcing focus to the textbox in different places throughout the code, but to no avail. If I use the .value or no property for the current textbox, I'm not getting the CURRENT text, but the old text before it was changed, so the filter doesn't work properly.
Private Sub txtVendor_Change()
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Filter = _
"((strSearchVendor Like '*" & Me.txtVendor.Text & "*' AND strSearchItem LIKE '*" & Me.txtPartNum & "*'))"
Me.txtVendor.SelStart = Len(Me.txtVendor.Text)
End Sub
It usually pops the error on the last line "Len(Me.txtVendor.Text)", but I've had it do it on the Me.Filter line as well (only when debugging and messing with next statement placement).

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.

I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.
