Filter By Selection/Form - Then Report Selected Only
Apr 19, 2005
Hello all.
I would like to place a "Print Report" button on my primary form that allows a Filter By Selection (OR Filter By Form) first, then when selecting the button will view or print my already-created primary report but only for the records that were selected by the filter.
I looked and looked, but am not sure even what to search for in the forum. I know this has to be simple.
Form is called PrimaryForm.
Report is called PrimaryReport.
I have a query that gives field values like name, age, department, etc for all the staff members in our company. These fields are obtained from many other tables and queries. Now I am planning to generate a report, which would display the results of this query. The catch is I am trying to do it in such a way that I want the user to have the option to select for which staff members he wants to run the report. Example: if I have 10 staff members, the user should be able to select staff3, staff6, staff7 and run the report such that it displays all the field values from the query related ONLY to these 3 staff members.
I could put up some labels and checkboxes for each staff on the form, and then select some checkboxes and get the report to read which checkbox is selected, and then display the concerned results through the report.
I use the follwing code to filter a report based on the listbox selection on a form. Below is the code I use, the problem it will error if the results have an apostrophe in the string.
Private Sub FilterDesc_Click() Dim strWhere As String Dim ctl As Control Dim varItem As Variant 'make sure a selection has been made If Me.ListCarrier.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then MsgBox "Must select at least 1 Carrier"
I have a continuous form bound to a query. I want to filter this form with any date inputted into a text box through a pop-up calendar control. The default date in the text box should be Date().In the query, I set the criteria on Call_Date filled as follows but the form does not requery to return the expected data:
Hi, I am trying to find code that will let me put a command button on a search form. When it is clicked I want the command filter by selection to filter the records. Basically copying the command when you click the button on the toolbar :rolleyes:
I have a form that is filter based on a combo box. I would like to add another filter for date. but the code I'm using for the first combo box doesn't work for date.
the code is:
Sub SetFilter() Dim LSQL As String LSQL = "select * from Preventive_Q_View" LSQL = LSQL & " where Item_Name = '" & Combo206 & "'" Form_Preventive_View.RecordSource = LSQL End Sub
How do I modify this code to work with the date combo box? Also, is there a way to get both filters to work together, as in filter based on the first combo OR the second combo, OR both?
I have been building a database for use in a charity shop and am struggling with an issue regarding one of the forms.
I currently have a form which displays all expenses from the shop. I have added a combo box to the top of this form which allows users to filter records based on an expense ID Code. It all works fine but I would like to be able to add a start date and end date box to the form also so that records can be shown between two dates.
I have tried adding parameter boxes to the query which runs the form (which works) but the issue I am having is that when a new id is selected from the combo box the parameter boxes pop up again asking me for start date and end date again. This happens every time a new combo box id is selected.
I think the way resolve this issue may be to add a start date and end date box to the form but I don't know how to implement this.
Please see the attached files for images of what I currently have. The forum won't let me post images directly here until I have 10 posts so I have had to attach the files instead.:

I have a report that is based on a query. The query has filters in it based on user info entered from a form. So the form asks the user to select which division of the company, and the date range for when the info applied to. My issue is that I am trying to set a macro that opens this form whenever some tries to open the report.
But the macro appears to run the query before it opens the form and it gives me a generic message box asking for the division. After I type that in (instead of selecting from a drop down list like I have on my form) another window pops up asking for start date, etc...instead of opening the form I created. What am i doing wrong and how do I get the macro to open my form? If I open the form directly and enter the criteria, it runs the report correctly.
I am trying to create a form where the user can select which group of data they want (records complete, records due, etc) and also how they want the report sorted (project name, due date, etc.)
I created an option group for the record selection part with a variable named myFilter being equal to the required filter (i.e. myFilter = "(([Assessment Details].[Completion Date]) <= Now())")
I then created a combo box for the record sort part with a variable named myOrder being equal to the required sort (i.e. myOrder = " ORDER BY [Project Description].Deadline")
Finally I created a variable named myCriteria which is equal to myFilter & myOrder. Then I try to open the report with DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , myCriteria.
Now, when I run the form and try to get the report, I get the following error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '((([Assessment Details].[Completion Date]) <= Now()) ORDER BY [Project Description].Deadline)'.
Is there any way to have the user be able to select the sort order and have it pass to the report?
I have set up a query to give me details of employees names, the business they work for and where they work.
If I run it without criteria I get all of my records, as you would expect.
However, I want to be able to select parameters from combo boxes and then run a specific report of employees by location. I did have this working by accident a while ago but have changed quite a lot since then.
I have set up an unbound form with three combo boxes - Business, Business Unit and Location. Then a button for preview and print report linking to my report template.
I have refernced the controls in the relevant columns of my query as: [Forms]![FormName]![Control].
When I run the query I get nothing back and I don't understand why.
Hi all, greate site and i have been able to solve most problems by using the search box although this problem is doing my head in...!!
I have a db that records project numbers and their details. I am using a listbox to allow a user to multiselect Project Involvements Tasks(ie Documentation, Build etc) against a project number.
I am able to read the selections into a separtate table with two columns which is structured as:
as you can see I dont have a problem getting the Itemsselected into a table... the problem that i am having is getting them out again when the record is displayed - ie marking them as itemsselected.
I believe that the event would be onCurrent which would loop through this table pick up the project number and recorded invovements and mark them as selected in the listbox. if there is no invovement then the listbox would show no selections.
I am using this code to read the selections in
=========================== 'Records project involvements against project Public Function AddInvolvements(ctlRef As ListBox) As String On Error GoTo Err_AddInvolvements_Click
Dim i As Variant Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim qd As DAO.QueryDef Dim strDelete As String
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set qd = dbs.QueryDefs!qInvolvement Set rs = qd.OpenRecordset
'Delete records where project number exists against an invovelment incase of involvement changes strDelete = "Delete Project_Involvement.ProjectNo " & _ "FROM Project_Involvement " & _ "WHERE (((Project_Involvement.ProjectNo)=[Forms]![Add_Project_Details]![ProjectNo]));"
For Each i In ctlRef.ItemsSelected rs.AddNew rs!InvolvementType = ctlRef.ItemData(i) rs!ProjectNo = Me.ProjectNo.Value rs.Update Next i Set rs = Nothing Set qd = Nothing
Exit_AddInvolvements_Click: Exit Function
Err_AddInvolvements_Click: Select Case Err.Number Case 3022 'ignore duplicate keys Resume Next Case Else MsgBox Err.Number & "-" & Err.Description Resume Exit_AddInvolvements_Click End Select
End Function ===================================
Any help would be much appreciated - also thanks to Pat Hartman for his excellent examples esp http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54924
I am trying to do the following. I understand how to create relationships.However, when I create a field with a drop down selection (in this example Phone Number and Email) once that list item is selected I would like the column to the right to populate that information.So when Phone # is selected, the field to the right will populate a number for this individual.
This works great to return a report if the user selects something from the combo box. How do I adapt this so that the user can also leave the combo box blank and filter the report to return all records?Additionally, what if I want to have the user filter between dates selected on the form; i.e. between 'txtStart' and 'txtEnd'
what i have is a form with a report inside of it (i just drug it in and dropped it). the report filters off of a field in the form. So upon opening the form, the report filters correctly. however as i browse through the form records, the report doesn't update. i can't figure out how to get it to update with the form its on. i've tried report.requery in the form_current area but it doesn't seem to re-apply the filter.
I have a continuos form (list of records) with a tool bar with "filter by form buton". This buton allow to users filter the list of records showed by the form by diferent field criterias.
After applied a filter I need a buton in the tool bar to print the filtered records on a report with a specific design: logo company, header, footer, etc.
I don't know how to apply the same filter used by the form to a report. Notice the filter by form continuos change depending the user.
I have not too much experiencie in programming. So I appreciate in advance any help.
Please see the attached. I am receiving a fatal error when I attempt filtering my report. It reads "Data Type Mismatch". Can someone take a look at this and tell me what I need to do to make this work ???
I have a report "Work Order Details" that that is based on a query and opens along with a form that is used to set filters. Based on samples I have looked at and reading, I cannot figure out what is missing. When I select my item form one of 5 unbound combo box 's and click the "Set filter" button, it brings up a paramter box?? If I cancel out the box, I still don't get a result. Just for the heck of it, I filled in a name in the paramter box, still no luck. The report property has "Filter On" as YES. The close button, clear button, and drops downs operate perfectly.
Here is the On Click Event info from my "set filter" button:
Private Sub Command28_Click()
Dim strSQL As String, intCounter As Integer 'Build SQL String For intCounter = 1 To 5 If Me("Filter" & intCounter) <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "[" & Me("Filter" & intCounter).Tag & "] " & " = " & Chr(34) & Me("Filter" & intCounter) & Chr(34) & " And " End If Next
If strSQL <> "" Then 'Strip Last " And " strSQL = left(strSQL, (Len(strSQL) - 5)) 'Set the Filter property Reports![Work Order Details].Filter = strSQL Reports![Work Order Details].FilterOn = True End If
A form I created contains buttons for the user to restrict the display- showing records that are tasked to one specific employee. So their choices are Employee a, employee b or all employees. This is a process I use a lot :) This last form opens with NO records displayed. When a button is clicked the records show correctly. Any idea what to check? Thanks,
My problem I am having is that in my database you can click around to different customers info on forms and from there you can click on a button to get to another form that lists all of the customers vehicles. From there I have a billing report that I created and I am trying to filter the report to get what I want on there.
I have been searching around and have found codes to filter reports so that right now I have it when I click on Billing Report it filters by the customers form i am on. But now where i am having some issues is that I am also looking to filter by a yes/no field so that anything clicked yes for that customer will be filtered to show on this report.
I am using a form to filter information so that I can open a report. The report displays information pertaining job costs. Each month the company I work for records their labor, costs, and travel in a form with a year to date amount. Right now, I am having a problem opening up a report for one specific job and a specific month. So what I want the dialogue box to do is to pick from a list of jobs then pick from a list of months, click a button that prompts a preview of the report.
I have a report based on a query, the report loads filter based on dates input to the query from Form1 when report loads. I want to filter this report further from a listbox on form2, but I want the listbox rowsource to populate based on a field in the loaded report. Is this possible?
could anyone point me in the right direction? i am trying to create a filter text box where i type in a name and if the name is in the field of my form, it will autofill and then when i press enter, it will select that particular item. for example; i start to type my name ( Nigel ). as i start Ni, it fills in my name and then after pressing enter, loads my information.
another option was to have a pop up form with a combo box offering the names to select and then by pressing go, loads the info onto my main form but not quite sure how feasible that is. any help appreciated.
I have serached for the answer but can not seem to find it.
I have a combo box that when a value is selected it finds the record.
I have four fields with one hidden. The fourth selects the lookup in another table and only shows the value. I am unsure how to have it show the project name instead of the id.
I would like to have a user enter a start date and an end date into two textboxes on a form. The two dates will be used to query a table. I would then like to print a report that was created from that query.
Here is the query created as a stored procedure:
SELECT Transactions.*, Hoods.* FROM Hoods INNER JOIN Transactions ON [Hoods].[ID]=[Transactions].[BoxID] WHERE ([Transactions].[Date] Between [@StartDate] And [@EndDate]) ORDER BY [Transactions].[Date];
What would be the best way to pass txtStartDate to @StartDate and txtEndDate to @EndDate in the VBA code of the form? How would I open or print the report created from that query filtered on that date range?
Any suggestions? Am I going about it wrong? Should I have created the report from the above query, or should I do it another way? Can anyone direct me to some code that does all of the above or something similiar?
I am able to filter a data on a continuous form using drop downs and then the following code attached to a cmdbutton to create a report of the filtered data.
Code: Private Sub Command30_Click() Dim strWhere As String If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False If Me.FilterOn Then strWhere = Me.Filter DoCmd.OpenReport "rptconveyorerrors", acViewReport, , strWhere End Sub
On the same form where I filter the data i can sort it by clicking the headings aswell, however when i generate the report using the above VBA it doesn't take the sort with it and just generates it without the sort.
I am using the following VBA to sort my form
Code: Me.OrderByOn = True If Me.OrderBy = "[empname] DESC" Then Me.OrderBy = "[empname] ASC" Else Me.OrderBy = "[empname] DESC" End If Me.Refresh
I thought it may be possible to use the following sort of VBA to pass the sort however i cant get it to work:
Code: Private Sub Command30_Click() Dim strOrder As String Dim strWhere As String If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False If Me.FilterOn Then strWhere = Me.Filter If Me.OrderByOn Then strOrder=Me.OrderByOn
