Please help!!
I have a form with a "filter by form" button generated by a macro and it works fine. Now I need a button so that the user will not have to use the funnel button in the toolbar to apply the filter. When I tried to place an apply filter button in the form, both buttons become greyed out and the only way is to click the funnel in the toolbar. Any help!!

Hi All,
Just wondered if anyone can help me with this.
I have a form based on a query that has 16 options for values in one of the fields. I wanted to put an option button for each value on a form that would allow the user to view the records based on which option buttons were selected and have the form update accordingly.
The way I've gone about it is to have some code in the after_update event thingimy of each option button that updates a boolean value in a table that's linked to the underlying query the form is based on - but this just seems a long way to go about this... plus it's not working...
I've searched the archives for clues on this but haven't come up with anything. So I just wondered, is there a better way than what I'm doing. I'm not after somebody to do this for me, just point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Peter
I am using Microsoft Access 2010. It provides great filtering and sorting options in the ribbon for any object. But what if I hide the ribbon and want to create custom buttons on the form to do the filtering and sorting job? There are some filter options available in macros but are not quite like the ribbon's own Filter button. When the Filter button is clicked from the Robbin, a filter menu pops-up under the active field, which doesn't happen when I try to do it using Macro functions like "Apply Filter" or "Set Filter" etc. I want to have that big "FILTER" button from the Ribbon on my form.

On my report that I have open up I would like to filter between 4 conditions. Would it be best to setup buttons in the report after it is run, or have something in the swithboard code that will filter before it gets to the report? I have looked at the code for the switchboard and it looks "greek" to me.
I seem to be having a problem with access 2007
When I use the filter by form, filter by selection, and toggle filter buttons located on the ribbon, they work normally on my form, in the usual way.
However when I use the button wizard to add the various available filter buttons to my form, it adds the buttons with the correct graphics on - but in form view clicking on the buttons does not actually do anything.
I've tried running compact and repair but still the same.
I want to create a navigation form, or any form for that matter that has an embedded report. The report has data arranged by ClientID. I would like to create buttons down the left side of my form (why I thought a navigation form could work) where I can put the client name on the buttons and when I click them the report will filter to only show that clients data. I have client tables and the report data linked in queries, but just need to know how to get started with these buttons acting as ID sorters.
For example:
ClientID: 1 = Client: ABC Corp
In my report ClientID 1's data is grouped along with all other client ID's.
In my form I'd like buttons down the left side with ABC Corp written on it (followed by buttons for the other clients) and then when I click the ABC Corp button only ABC Corp's data shows on the page from the embedded report...
Hello everybody,
I’m new here and I have a question for you..
Is it possible to place round buttons or oval buttons on your forms instead of the normal square ones?

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.

I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.

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 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
I have a form that is showing data from 1 table. That table has 12 different fields on it and I want to be able to filter based on selections I make in a combo box in the header of the form. The filter string must be dynamic enough to allow filtering based on 1 criteria selected, or multiple criteria selected. For example:
If I have values in filter fields 3, 5, and 9 I'd want the filter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field3 = field3filter.value AND field5 = field5filter.value AND field9 = field9filter.value"
If I have values in only field 7, I'd want th efilter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field7 = field7filter.value"
And so on and so on.
I have created some filters before but all of the different VBA syntaxes I'm using seem to come up short.
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.

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?
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 have constructed a switchboard/main menu and have set up buttons which link to forms. i have also made a 'return to main menu' button which does as it says, the only problem is that after going back to thge main menu both forms are now open...any ideas on how to stop this problem

I have been making some custom buttons and noticed that the size of my db went up 360kb after I added two buttons. One button consists of two images and the other button one image. The original file size was 2kb for each image. Is 360kb a normal increase in db size after converting images to buttons?
There might be a hefty price to pay, in db size, if I get carried away and add my "up market" buttons to all my forms!
Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a button on a form that will export only that record. On the command options I do not see there being an option to do such. Can anyone help? Thanks. I would like to export to excel or anything that will capture what I am looking at. I have noticed that Yes/no boxes do not export to excel?
I have a form that's unbound (Music) with a subform (Arist Info)that is bound. This subform also contains two other Subforms (bound).
Their names are (Album Info) and (Song Info). The subform (artist Info) contains some pagebreaks, which I'm trying to use to bring up
the two other subforms .The cmd buttons used to control the pagebreaks are located on the main form (Music). My problem is with the third & fourth cmd buttons. I can go back & forth nicely with the first two, and even go the the third. That's were the problem starts. I can't go back to the secound or first from the third or go to the four. The VB code haults and the GoToPage line is highlighted. The code use on the on click event is as followed:
Forms!Music.SetFocus
Forms!Music![Artist Info].SetFocus
Me.GoToPage 1
The only thing that changes between all four of the is the page#. I hope someone can help me with this, it's driving me crazy not knowing what i'm doing wrong. If you need to look at a smaple DB there's one on a post called "Problem dealing with macros". I just posted this one a few days ago.
Thanks,

Hello Everyone,Been a while since I needed to post on this forum, but I found something rather disturbing today; either that or I have missed something obvious. I have a large query of financial data, and I filter out certain codes which I don't want to include. The filter is;<>"BL01" And <>"SS01"Which works as it should, filtering out all BL01 and SS01. However, it also filters out any NULL values, which is something I would not expect it to do. When I enter NULL as a filter, I get the records I expect. What am I doing wrong here? I am using Access 2003 SP3 on Windows XP Service Pack 2

I am a newbie at Access and I am currently learning it for my job...I have a database going and I am wanting to do two things and I can not figure it out for the life of me.
Little background, the database I made is a continuous form. I am wanting a command button that when pushed will put it in data entry mode, and when pressed again will put back in a 'view all' state. I know it is a simple If Then, but I don't know VBA very well =
Other thing, is I wanting to be able have button that when pressed will output to an excel sheet, right now I have it when it is pressed it asks me what kind of format I want outputted, and I want it automated to just go straight to excel.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
