Creating A Filter Button
Nov 7, 2005
I have a combo box with different department names in it
I have a button in a form called cmdShowDept the caption "Show only one Department"
When I open the form I have the combo box set to not be visible
When the Show only one Department command button is pressed I want the following to happen;
The Department combo box should appear
The button's text should change to "Show all Departments" in red
If the button is clicked when the text is red then:
the original button text should return in Black
the department combo should disappear
After clicking on the button and you click one of the specific departments ie accounting I want it to show only the accounting records in the form.
I'm still learning about access, so thanks for any help anyone can give me pleeeese!!

I have a continuous form based on table "INCOMES" that shows all the payments received, which mediums can be (field "PMNT_MEDIUM"):
- check
- transfer
- taxes
- cash
Table "INCOMES" is filled using another form, but in this particular form I just want to show "check", "transfer" and "cash" (not "taxes") so that I can track all the cash incomes.
Note: taxes are loaded because they appear in my invoices and I need them there to reach the invoice total amount.So my form has a search bar which allows me to search by PMNT_MEDIUM listing all "checks", all "cash" or all "transfer". I can also search by payment number (meaning: check number). To that end I have a "search" button that applies the filter. And I have another button that "cleans" the filtering by "putting a "" in the search-bar and then calling the "on click" of the search button".
What I need is, no matter if I click over the "search" or "clean" button, it NEVER shows me the "taxes".Search button, on click code:
If IsNumeric(Me.busq_chq_med) Then
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM_NUMB] =" & Me.SEARCH_BAR
Else
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'"
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*' or [INVOICE] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'"
End If
Me.FilterOn = True
Clean filter button, on click code:
[SEARCH_BAR] = ""
Call [Search button]_click
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True

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.

I 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.

I need to have a form which has a series of blank text boxes on it.
I then need a subform, that has all of the text boxes as above, in datasheet layout.
I then want to be able to type values into the text boxes on the main form, and have the user then click a button. If any records exist with the values that have been typed in, they should be listed on the sub form.
If the main part of the form had combo boxes then that would also be good.
Finally, I want the user to be able to double click on one of the rows that have been found, and for this data to be loaded into a third form.
Is this possible? Could someone help me out, by maybe linking me to a source that will help me, by explaining how to do it, or maybe by letting me know where i can get a sample database that does this sort of thing.
Thanks very much.

I am trying to use VBA to create a filter by date range. the user inputs 2 dates and the database filters all records by dates in between the 2 dates,
Code below
Dim var_CustDate1 As String
Dim var_CustDate2 As String
var_CustDate1 = InputBox("Please enter start date in format DD/MM/YYYY", "Enter Date", Date)
If Not IsDate(var_CustDate1) Then
MsgBox ("not a valid Date")
[Code] ....
I've tried every combination of format for the dates but this is the closest ive got it to work,
if i enter dates 01/09/2013 and 12/09/2013 the filter works for the days in the month but also displays previous years, but if i change the dates to 01/09/2013 and 13/09/2013 it starts displaying all dates for all years in the months September, October, November and December.

I have a subform in datasheet view for tracking calls from clients. The Client Name is a combination of the first and last name. I want to create a text box that allows me to start typing in the client name and it will filter for only those Clients that match. Currently, I have the following code (below) for the textbox, however when I start typing in a client name all the clients disappear from the table. The client name is in a combo box so I don't know if that is making a difference.
Private Sub Text3_Change()
Dim strFilter As String
Me.Refresh
[Code].....

I have a form which I am using child/master fields to create a filter (see attached pic)
For the date ranges I need these to be
>= Start Date and <= Actual Finish Date
How can I set the criteria for these two fields, so that when someone picks a date it knows it's from or before the date entered.

I have a form and I have placed a "Filter by form" button in it. Now I would like to create a second button that applies the filter (same funtions as the funnel icon on the toolbar. I tried using a macro with a command but when I click the first button and the form is ready to accept my criteria for the filter both button are greyed out. The only way I could apply the filter is through the toolbar. Any way of doing this second button?

Delete Reference: Trying combinations I found one that works!!!
The second line should read: Me.Filter = "AdminDateCompleted Is Null"
Hi,
I want to filter records from a form with a button to isolate all incompleted tasks.
Incomplete tasks are identified with an empty field [AdminDateCompleted] which is formatted as a 'Medium Date'.
I am having trouble with the following code (created after several hours searching this forum and experimenting).
First click returns all the records allegedly filtered, 2nd click turns the filter off and the third click returns 1 (Filtered) blank form.
If Form.FilterOn = False Then
Me.Filter = IsNull(Me.AdminDateCompleted)
Me.FilterOn = True
cmdFilterActive.Caption = "Remove filter"
Else
Me.FilterOn = False
cmdFilterActive.Caption = "Filter"
End If
I would appreciate any advice please.
Allan

Hello All-
I'm at the end of a long project that has one last step. I was hoping that someone here would be generous enough to help. I'm pretty much a novice at Access and am sure that my question can be easily answered. So here is the problem.
I have data that is loaded from a PDA to a form in Access. The data can then be viewed in a list box which is great. I also need to be able to save the data from the list box, using a button, as an excel spreadsheet. Is there anyone here that is willing to guide me to a solution?? Thanks in advance -Tom

I would like to create a database that would enable me to select various options (from dropdown lists) which I could then have tidily arranged in an email that would automatically be sent to the recipient.
Before I attempt to design the facing page I'd like to know if this is an option in Access?

I have a basic question.
I am trying to put a button on a form I have created so that I can use Filter by Form feature on it. I used the toolbox commnad button wizard and chose the Form Operations -> Apply Form Filter option for the button.
Unfortunately, this button does not work for this choice. In the Form view, if I click on this button nothing happens. Other choices in the wizard such as Edit Form Filter etc works.
Does anyone know what could be the problem? Is this an Access bug (i am using Access 2003).
If it is a bug, can anyone suggest what little modifications one might have to do to the VBA code underlying OnClick event for the button to make this command button work?
thanks a lot for the help

Hi, I'm an Access newbie. I've designed a fairly simple database to replace an old spreadsheet that was becoming unwieldy -- it was never really used so much for calculation as for data storage, so Access seems more appropriate anyway.
One of the functions I used in Excel was the autofilter, which I found very useful for zeroing in on specific portions of the data. I was wondering how I would do the same thing in Access, and then I discovered the "Filter by Form", which works just fine -- even better actually, since it has the whole and/or functionality.
I was wondering though if it would be possible to invoke "Filter by Form" using a command button. That would make it even easier, especially for some of my users who would almost certainly not know about "Filter by Form" otherwise.

Hi there!
I am pretty new at this so please bear with me :confused: (like that isn't said a thousand times!). I am creating a small database to track task data (manpower tracking basically) where I have the following fields:
Customer
Functional Group
Task Status
Task Name
Task Description
WO #
Funded Hours
Notes
I would like to create a combo box where the user can select the customer (I have 124 records in total, 15 unique customer names) and all tasks relating to that customer are filtered directly in the Form by clicking a single button to do the filter.
I don't want to create dozens of tables and forms to flip through and such (users need it as simple as possible). I have created queries but the only way I have successfully filtered each customer is via buttons...but 15 buttons to filter each individual customer is a pain in the butt, so any help would be REALLY appreciated.
Please let me know if I haven't explained this clearly enough! :)
Thanks!

I have searched the forms and I see codes to apply filters to a button, but can someone tell me what is the code to remove all filters on the current form? I know I can always hit the filter on/off button at the top but im trying to keep users from having to leave the current database form. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I have this code set to a button on a split form. It filters out all the blank records for the "Status" column.
Private Sub cmdFilterPendingStatus_Click()
Me.Filter = "[Status]"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
Me.txtFilterNamePlate.SetFocus
End Sub
I would like to do the exact opposite and filter out everything except for the blank records in the "Status" column.
How can I change the code to do this? I guess I should also mention that the "Status" field is a long text/memo box but I can easily change this to short text if I really have to. I realize that short text can do the blank filtering within the split form itself by clicking on that tiny arrow in the column header but I am trying to make it really user friendly where the user can just click a button to do this. The long text box has some options to filter but not for blank fields in a record which makes me think that this may not be possible to do if the Status field remains a long text box. Some examples for the filtering options that are available in the split form for a long text box are: Begins with, contains, ends with, etc... however, when I type "" to try and filter out everything except the records that have null in the Status field, it says that "" is not valid.
What can I do to get the results I need?

Dear All:
I have a form based on a query. Is there a way to create a command button to delete all data? In addition, when this button is pressed, a pop-up message should appear to say "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?".
Thanking in advance,
