Combo Box To Filter Records In A Subform
Aug 14, 2014
I have a combo box located on one of my forms, that is getting its information from a field in a table.This table has all its records displayed in a subform. I would like the combo box to basically requery the subform to only show records where the name matches what is in the combo box.
It is basically a list of customers, so if I was to select Person1 in the combo box, I would only want to see records for Person1 in the subform.I would also need a way of clearing the search results, in order to get the subform to display all records again.

I have seen a few articles here and there on using a combo box to filter records in a sub-form and to filter records in another combo box, but I am not getting anywhere. I hope someone can belp
Exercise 1
For this exercise, I have the following tables:
tblClients containing client names
tblProjects containing some project details
I want to set up a simple form, so that the user can select a client name from a combo box on the main form which filters the project detail records in the Projects sub-form.
Once the user enters project details, I want this info as well as the selected ClientID to be fed back to tblProjects.
Exercise 2
I have the following tables:
tblProjects as above
tblWorkstream containiig names of workstreams and some other details.
Every project has one or more workstreams
I have a form where users will enter hours worked on each workstream. They will first select Project from a combo box on the main form. This should then filter records to be displayed in the Workstream Combo box, before they can then enter hours.
Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of this better.
Thanks in advance.
ps. I am a novice, so I'm hoping to do the above using default MS stuff, not with complex programming!!!
Thanks

I have a form with a combo box on it.
I want to use the combo box to query a subform.
So basically when you click on the record in the combo box it will filter the subform based on the selection.
Is there is a simple way or do I need to be more specific about the requirements ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone!
I think I am asking the impossible, but can't think why it can't be done!
Here's the dilema:
I am working with an unbound form to search a Mobile Register.
On the form I have an unbound combo box which looks up User details from a table (LKP_User).
When I select a user, I want the subform below to filter all the details for that user and show me which mobiles they have.
PROBLEM:
Combo Box has 3 fields, User_ID, User, Dept_ID. User_ID is bound column but not displayed in combo (only User) is displayed.
I need to link the User_ID with the User_ID on the subform, but don't know how to tell it to look at column 1 of the combo box.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Do I need some fancy code to get this to work?
Cheers in anticipation

Main form frmSiteDetails
frmRooms (subform) holds Room information for the rooms on each floor. This form has LinkMasterField [SlaveFloorsID] and LinkChildFields [FloorsID]
frmFloors subform holds floor information for each floor in a property. This form has LinkMaster [SiteID] and LinkChildFields [SiteID]
Both these forms sit on a Tab Control (TabCtl57) and do work properly.
What I would like to do is to also have a Combo to pick a floor number from frmFloors and filter frmRooms. Both these forms have FloorsID fields. This would save a user having to go back to frmFloors to pick a different floor and then go back to frmRooms to view the room data for the new chosen floor.

Hello All,
Thank you for taking time to view my access problem, I hope somebody can help / give advice on my problem.
I have a Form, within that form I have a subform. On the main Form I have several Combo Boxes.
ComboBoxes include; Year. Movie. Country.
What I want to do is when the user selects from the various values within each Combo Box to display the data in the subform accordingly.
I was able to use the Wizard to display the Movie Information correctly. The code is below for that. How can I go by doing this.
' Code to change the movie information, when they select the combo box
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[MovieID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![cmbMovieList], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
I am very sorry if my question seems broad, ill try to be more specific upon request. THANK YOU for your time and your help.

I have a table contains 5/6 column. now i need to filter the table on a form randomly.
Suppose I have 6 different combo box for 6 column. Now on the sub form the control shows the whole table. i this case i have clicked the 3rd combo box, then it will show the whole column in its list. if i select any one of it the table will show the common values below. then i will click the second combobox which will populate the present data shown into the subform table after the first filter.
After that i wish to filter the fifth column where the fifth combobox will populate the data after the second filtering.
By all means the active data into the column will ony populate into the combobox.

Currently I have a main form w/ subform. In the main form, a user selects a bond's serial number from a combo box and the subform displays the bond's returns for the months owned along with a start date (each month has its own start date). So if I enter bond ABC in combo box, the subform will display "13-01-01, 4%" for January, "13-02-01, 8%% for February..etc.
So if we owned a bond from January to March, it will display the three months' returns. I want to add two combo boxes: begin and end date so that I can filter the subform to only show a particular set of months' returns.
I have three tables right now: Cusips, which lists each bond's serial number, CusipStartPK, which lists the monthly returns for each serial number, and ParameterDates, which is a list of four start dates--ie 13-01-01 for January, 13-02-01 for Feb, etc.
I've tried parameter queries and vba codes from other threads but I can't get this to work.

I thought I was in the home stretch of my project, everything worked great when I was messing with 200 records. Now that I'm messing with 2000+ records, things are very slow. So a search form redesign!
I have a form (frmSearch) that has a subform (frmSubSearch) embedded in it. The frmSubSearch is a datasheet only that is just pulling its info from a query (qrySearch). qrySearch has about 8 columns of data in it.
On the main form I have a combo box that is feeding its list from the qrySearch using a SELECT DISTINCT statement. So a user selects an item in the combo box and my After_Update fires. This sets a filter on frmSubSearch. I have three of these combo boxes that can add to the filter and they work great so far.
But I want to have the combo boxes filter themselves based on whats left on frmSubSearch. So if a user selects something in the 2nd combo box, the sub form filters and updates, but then I want the other two combo boxes to only have valid selections, and not something selectable that would wind up giving me a blank sub form result.
I have tried using .Requery in various ways, but its not working. I have also been looking into the idea of Cascading Comboboxes, but these don't seem to quite fit what I'm trying to do.

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:
No current record
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.

In the Purchase Order details form a Supplier has to be chosen via a combo box. Based on that another combo box in the subform displays products only from this supplier (Products table is linked to supplier table).
I managed to let the subform combo show only relevant products using criteria referring to the main form combo box. Also other product data will show accordingly in text boxes. So far so good.
However when I close the form and reopen it the subform combo box is blank, other text boxes still show the right values. If I remove the filter criteria for the subform combo then all fields show all data correctly. (However the combo box is unfiltered again 8-/)
So somehow the 'criteria' prevents the combo to show the value that was previously chosen.

I have a database that tracks Construction projects. Each project can have multiple Managers, so I have a many to many relationship set up with tblProjects, tblProjects_Managers and tblManagers. I created frmProjects and sbfrmProjects_Managers. sbfrmProjects_Managers has a combo box control and is continuous. Its record source is tblProjects_Managers, its control source is ManagersID (the foreign key in tblProjects_Managers) and its row source is SELECT tblManagers.ManagersID, tblManagers.Managers FROM tblManagers ORDER BY tblManagers.Managers;. The bound column is 1, the column count is 2, and the widths are 0";4". When adding sbfrmProjects_Managers to frmProjects I made the child-master link with ProjectsID, the PK of tblProjects and the other foreign key in tblProjects_Managers.
I need the Managers to be able to do a search that will return only the projects that they manage. I've tried making a query composed of tblProjects, tblProjects_Managers, and tblManagers. I used the field ProjectsID from tblProjects and ManagerName (with the criteria Like [Manager's Name] & "*") from tblManager. The query worked when run by itself, but when I use it as a filter in a macro to open frmProjects, I get two prompts to enter a value, one that asks for tblManagers.ManagerName and one that asks for Manager's Name. No matter what I do I can't get only the second dialouge box to appear, and regardless I no matter what I enter into the two dialogue boxes my results aren't filtered at all.

this is a re-post - can anyone help? I think this is an easy one for the experts out there!
I have a form called frmTshtExp which is bound to a query called qryTshtExpenses. Most of the fileds in the form are combos and text boxes bound to the fields in the queries.
However, the first combo is unbound. It is called cboProjectSelect and it filters the second combo called cboWorkstreamExp. This is done using a query called qryTshtWorkstreamExp which has workstreamID, workstream and projectID as fields.
The filter works fine. The trouble is that selecting a project from the first combo filters workstreams from the second combo for ALL records that are entered. In other words, no matter how many rows are entered in the datasheet on the form, they all have to have a workstream belonging to just ONE project. I want to be able to enter different workstreams belonging to DIFFERENT projects on each row.
I hope you can help. I've put in a reduced version of my db in the following location:
http://uk.f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com...rum.zip&.src=bc
unfortunately, I didn't know how to disable the securities I've set up, so you need to log use the shortcut (after modifying the target location in it's properties) and use the word "forum" as username and password.
Thanks in advance

I am using combo box to filter records from a form. The data source for the form is from a query.
I use the combo box within the query to filter the data, I would like the form to refresh/ run the query again every time a new selection is made from the combo box.

i have a combo box, which looks up a list of school names from my main table. The user selects the desired school, then clicks the button underneath, which opens a report. What i want the report to show is the next 31 (that is how many fit on one page) schools AFTER the school that the user selects - the underlying query for the report has them in alphabetical order. There are ~250 schools in the list.Even if i can get it just to display the records after the selected one on the form, that would be fine.

I have a table with the following 5 fields. (Service Type), (Valve Name),(Size),(Rating),(Description).
I want to do two thing:
First: I want to select the required information from the first 4 fields using combo boxes and get the last field (description) based on the selected 4 fields. In other words, i want the record to be filtered using first 4 fields to give me the last field info.
Second: I want to store the filtered record (all 5 fields) in another table.

I want to filter the records in a combo box (cboSupplier) using the In() function.
On the form I have an unbound control called "intFilter". It contains the following string: 23, 58
The SQL statement for the combo box is
Code:
SELECT SupplierID, SupplierName
FROM tblSupplier
ORDER BY SupplierName;
In the criteria for field SupplierId I want to use the In() function so that the only records returned by the combo box are those in "intFilter". I have tried
Code:
In (Forms![frmSupplierReport]![intFilter]
but this does not work.
If I put: In (23, 58) in the criteria it works, but I cannot hard code it because the string in "intFilter" will change on the fly!
How would I achieve this?

Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
I have a main form which has 4 combo boxes all based on tblPeople.
Combo0 is skill
Combo1 is discipline
Combo2 is crart
Comb03 is active
The sub form is a datatable list of the tblpeople.
How do I apply the filter to the datatable. I am assuming I need to build a sql statement somewhere like SELECT from tlpeople WHERE me!combo0 = [tblpeople].[skill] and me!Combo1=[tblpeople].[discipline] etc
Is there a sample database? or can somebody tell me how to go about this.
Thanks
Steve

I want to filter my subform data, to only show records where field A is a higher value than field B.
Code:
Me.MySubform.Form.Filter = "A > B"
Me.MySubform.Form.FilterOn = True
This way it doesn't find field B.
Code:
Me.MySubform.Form.Filter = "A > " & MySubform.Form!B
Me.MySubform.Form.FilterOn = True
This way it seems to filter all record to the field B value of the first record.

I am having an issue trying to show all records when I load my form. It loads correctly when I don't have a record source for the main form. However, the combobox filters will not work. My goal is to have users be able to use the datasheet, subdatasheet and combobox filters. I can get the form to work just fine when I link the Main form and subform, but when the form opens it is filtered on the first record. I have been successful with this approach when using other forms, but they didn't require a subdatasheet.
Is there anyway I can have the comboboxes to filter yet be able to show all records until the user selects filters? Is this possible?I finally got my Manager to agree to use a database instead of Excel files based on this form setup and I need to make as "user friendly" as possible (look and function like a spreadsheet) I attached some pics of the form along with the code for the filter.

I'm trying to hash two scripts I've found into 1 functioning filter, however I'm still relatively new to vba and can't figure out how to get this working.
I'm trying to use Allen Browne's Search Criteria:
with another snippete of code I found here:
Code:
'Purpose: This module illustrates how to create a search form, _
where the user can enter as many or few criteria as they wish, _
and results are shown one per line.
[Code]....
It's the date part I'm having trouble with, the rest of the search criteria work fine without the date, but I can't get it working when I try to modify and merge the date sections of each code.
Also I'm using a listbox for the "Yesterday";"Last 4 days";"Last 9 days" and not a combo box.

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.
