Hello All
I have an issue I am trying to resolve and I need some help.
I have a database that I just created in access and pulled in data from an old Approach database.
When I try to do a filter on Form it gives me an error and closes out. I sent the error report to Microsoft and they said to intall the updates. I did that and restarted and still I have the issue of not being able to filter on the form.
I have other forms in this database and I can do it on them, but not on the main form.
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 created forms for inputting into my database.
First of all a form opens with a choice of opening up another form displaying certain tables to input into.
On the startup form there is also a text box for the user to type in text and then using a command button filter the next form with what they have typed in.
Firstly when they dont enter anything into the text box but still press the command button this error box appears "Syntax Error (missing operator) in query expression '[Last Name]='." Then it just has an ok box
How do i get it come up with the message "Please enter a Last Name before clicking run" And then an OK
Secondly, once someone has entered the last name in the text box, pressed the command button, and the filtered form has opened and displayed the results, and then they close the results form and return to the original startup form. The text they entered in the text box is still there. Is there anyway of clearing it each time when they close the filtered form.
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.
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.
Ok heres the situation, Ive had to edit a piece of code that worked fine filtering but wouldnt allow me to refresh a subform on the main search form. Now im using OpenArgs to pass the Selected bike ID to a popup form. This bike ID should then be used to filter the pop up form. But i get error 2001 (You cancelled the previous operation) when the code is run. The Code follows:
Private Sub cmdSell_Click()
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
I have a cross-tab query that is filtered on user-defined date range using a where condition of:>[Forms]![Reports_Menu]![txtFilterDateFrom] AND <[Forms]![Reports_Menu]![txtFilterDateTo]
the Query functions perfectly. The report based on that query, however, only functions with a DateFrom that is before 1/28/14 and a DateTo that is after 2/27/14. If I enter a date in either field that is outside of those ranges, I get the following error:The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize " as a valid field name or expression.I have defined both of my Query Parameters as Date/Time in the Xtab query design.
I am using a combo box to filter a 2nd form upon clicking a button. I posted on this topic the other month and was given some code that works. I am attempting to tweak it for another part of my database.I am receiving a Run-time error "3464': Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
Hi all, I’m trying to filter the records a subform shows based on the employee number (in a combo box) that the user selects in the main form. At the moment im getting the following message when I select an employee number in the combo box: “Compile error, method or data member not found”:confused:
Ive searched the forums on here and tried to make use of the information other people have posted but im still having trouble getting this to work
Below is the code I have on the combo box of the main form:
Private Sub Cbo_Emp_Filter_AfterUpdate() Dim strSQl As String
strSQl = " Select * from DATA-EMPLOYEE_MASTER where DATA-EMPLOYEE_MASTER.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER=" & Form![SCREEN-ABSENCE_TRACKING_MAIN]![EMPLOYEE_NUMBER]
Me.SUBFORM_ABSENCE_TRACKING.RecordSource = strSQl Me.SUBFORM_ABSENCE_TRACKING.Requery End Sub
Ive also posted the database if any one is willing to have a look for me (ive removed irrelevant tables/forms/reports). Im using access 97
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).
I'm experiencing a error when I go to add a filter, "Syntax error in string in query expression "MyFieldName""..If I go to to the table where the field is located, I CAN apply a filter.However, If I throw this single field on a form and switch to datasheet view, all of a sudden I can not filter it.
Additional info: whenever I go to build a query with the field, it throws brackets around this field and no others... this is weird.
Code: SELECT MyTable.field1, MyTable.field2, MyTable.[problemfield] FROM MyTable
I'm trying to transfer records from a table in one subform to another subform (on same form) using a checkbox as a filter:
Private Sub TransferAndReview_Click() Dim db As dao.Database Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "INSERT INTO Forms![Extra Work Report Checksheet]![Equipment Input Subform1].Form[(QuantityUsed[, HoursUsed])] VALUES (QuantityUsed[, HoursUsed]) FROM Forms![Extra Work Report Checksheet]![Equipment Checksheet Table Subform] WHERE [Extra Work Report Checksheet]![Equipment Input Subform1].Form[EquipmentUsed]=True;" Set db = CurrentDb db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError End Sub
I keep getting the error "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement" which points to 'db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError' and I don't understand why. Neither of the fields [QuanityUsed] or [HoursUsed] are lookup fields, etc.
I tend to work with large amounts of data (extracts from company systems) and I create a lot of Access/VBA based tools to automate processes.
I have an annoying error which has always appeared but I don't understand the root cause of it.
When viewing a query, if I filter, I get an error message pop up (though after clicking through the error I can still use the filter function):
"syntax error missing operator in expression 'name of field'".
This seems to happen when I add several calculated fields. Here are some examples of the conditions and calculated field formulas I'm using in this current one:
Conditions: <>"CINEMATIC" And <>"SFX" Not Like "*_ZZ*" And Not Like "*test*" And Not Like "EP_*" [Forms]![FRMscriptPrintReview]![selectLangCombo]
I get the impression that its more of a bug with Access as the formulas aren't complicated really but need confirmation on this and if there is a way I can avoid it.
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.
control called "FilterListBox" list box called "lstCustomer" option Box called "optCustomerType"
When the user selects an option in the option box, "FilterListBox" is updated to either "1", "2" or "1 or 2"..One of the fields in the query for "lstCustomer" is "CustomerType" and its criteria is set as follows:
if "FilterListBox" = 1 the query for "lstCustomer" returns the correct records if "FilterListBox" = 2 the query for "lstCustomer" returns the correct records
But if "FilterListBox" = 1 or 2, no records are returned.
I have a button that opens a second form and filters that form based on a text box on the first form(which remains open). the problem is that it does not filter the second form unless the second form is already loaded for some reason.
For example if i click on the button it opens the form Unfiltered then i go back to the previous form without closing the first form, click the button again and it is then filtered .
I attached the screen shot of the macro for the button and there are no other events on the second form.
i have one form filtered based on a field value, now i want to open another form which has only the same member ID but not the actual field on what the first form had been filtered (so i cannot just use the same filter) , so what i want to do is that the 2nd form should only show the members which are in the first form.
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.
I have a db in access 2003. I have a form frnStat, where I have 6 different fields. The meaning with the form is that a user can fill the fields that they want, and in that way decide what information they want from the the table tblBookings. I use the information from the fields in a queery, qryFilt. Then it generates a report rptStatistics wich also catch the information from frmStat and the filtered data.
I use a formula like this in the querry [Forms]![frmStat]![FirstDate] to catch the input from the form.
But if a user donīt fill in all of the 6 fields it doesnīt work.
Can I in some way write a formula that says:
"If a field is not filled ignore it
So if a user just fills in three of these fields, she get the information filtered by those three fields. s this possoble, and in that case, how?
:confused: I have figured out how to apply the filter in the form by command button. I have created a second command button to turn the filter off, but for some reason, I can not get it to turn off. I have tried using the event procedure. But I am sure there is a code that I just don't know how to write or use. It just needs to turn off the sorting of BoxTubeNo. Can someone help me before I give up all together?:confused:
I am having problems adding records to my form. After I add a record, it doesnt show. I removed the filter in the Properties Box but it still acts like it is filtering. However, if I close the form and reopen it, the record is there. What do I do to fix this?
i need help regarding filtering a whole form, like the auto-filter used in spreadsheet..
that is i have a continous form with a list of data, and I would like to filter all the list headings so that if the user for example wants to view data only related to a specific country, he/she can do this by choosing that country only.
Sorry to have so many questions today but i keep coming up against problems.
I have found the best way to search my database the way i want is to use the filter by form function.
However, in the final build of the database, users will not have access to many of the functions on the toolbars so i would like to set the filter by form as a command button or similar.
I am adding a button to a form that should filter the work items down to the the items that are open and that are also assigned to the current user. I thought that this would be simple but I have tried several variations of the following 2 code samples but I keep getting errors, mostly Run-Time error '13': Type Mismatch. I have a feeling that I am using the wrong number of quotes and/or applying them to the wrong places but so far none of the combos I have tried has worked . what I am doing wrong.
Sample 1:
Private Sub ECAOpenItems_Click() Dim usr As String usr = Environ("UserName") Me.Filter = "[WIStatus] = 'Open'" And "[ECAAssigned] = '" & usr & "'" End Sub
Sample 2:
Private Sub ECAOpenItems_Click() Dim usr As String usr = Environ("UserName") DoCmd.ApplyFilter, "[WIStatus] = 'Open'" And "[ECAAssigned] = '" & usr & "'" End Sub
