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.
hi all, another quick question (last one for awhile I promise) but is there a way to add an option to a combo box (Filter by Selection) and Remove/Filter sort without right clicking on it? cheers, Andrew
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 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.
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:
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.

I am currently working on a form for my users to look at budget data. I have several listboxes for them to filter queries by. What I was wondering is, if it is possible to have data in one list box be filtered by the preceeding listbox?
For example: Three list boxes: Report_Period, Budget, Dept.
Each list contains all the values possible. This data is all in a filter table (and the listboxes created using SELECT DISTINCT queries to that table for the specific field). So, if I select Budget XYZ, could I filter the Dept listbox to only show the dept.'s associated with that budget? These are all multi-select listboxes by the way, so budget ABC and XYZ would only show the departments associated as well.
I have a strange problem that has me beaten. I open an Access 2003 table, sort on field "Job Number", click the Find button and enter a job number. I expect to find 30 records, but Find only hits 8 of them. If I over-type the Job Number (with the same numerics), Find is then able to return this record. If I place my cursor in ANY of the 30 records and click Filter by Selection, all 30 records are included. I thought there may be a non-printable character or a space hidden at the end of the field, but I expect both Filter and Find would return the same records. Even more strangely, when my client zips the MDB file and emails it to me, this behaviour does not occur on my PC. Has anyone else comes across this behaviour? If so, can you please point me in the direction that will help me find a solution. cheers, Mark Chimes
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 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.:
Query running the form - Attachment 1
The Form itself - Attachment 2
Combo Box - Attachment 3

My form has a combo box which is bound to a query that selects a list of member numbers. The value selected the goes onto filter a list driven by an SQL statement.
Code: Private Function PopulateADO(qpMemberNo As Long) Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
[Code] .....
This works fine when a single member is selected from the combo. But obviously i want a "select all" or * wildcard option.
Question is 2 parts. 1. How do i add the all or wildcard option to the bound combo? 2. How do i code the all or wildcard option into the SQL statement? Is it something like is not null ?
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 2 comboboxes, the first one is called "activity", whereby I have 3 options to choose from, and the second is called "level".
When I click an "activity", for example Drawings, I want the "level" combobox to list a unique set of options for that category. and if I click on a different "activity" for example Planning, I want the "level" combobox to show a completely different set of options.
If anyone can give me any help on how to do this then I would be very grateful!!
I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
Porbably a stupid queston for most of you, but I am new to the game. Trying to get the selection of one combo box to filter the selections of a second combo box. Have one table called Sections with the colums SectionID and SectionName, a Second Table called SubSection with Colums SubSectionID, SubSectionName, and SectionID. Third Table called Points which has a column for Section, and SubSection, need to have the section combobox selection filter the SubSection combobox selections. Any help would be appreciated!
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
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.
I am using MS Acess2000 and need to make a report that will be passed around with production work. My primary key is the invoice number of the work order. Currently to open an invoice i have a macro, attached to a query with the following qualifiers; Like [Enter invoice]
This pulls up the current record fine. for the form and flags the folloing in the property filter sectin of the form
(((([CustomerTableMasterRef].[Invoice]) Like [Enter invoice])))

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...
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.
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 have part of a query that checks a string and returns a 2 letter code. the string is 9 characters long and consists of 1's and 0's, but it is picking the wrong 2 letter code
Hi I have a continuous form that has bound checkboxes next to each record. Right now the code below finds the records that are checked and edits them accordingly. I need to find a way to make only one checkbox be able to be checked at a time. Or have the code below find if 2 or more checkboxes are checked, then prompt and exit sub.
Private Sub Command43_Click() Set rs = Me.Recordset Dim user As DAO.Database Set user = DAO.OpenDatabase("c:auser.mdb") Set rs3 = user.OpenRecordset("currentuser", dbOpenDynaset) rs.MoveFirst Do While Not rs.EOF rs.Edit If rs!dispositionchk <> 0 Then rs!status = "Do Not Call" 'change status to to be contacted rs!dnc = "DNC" rs!lastlo = rs!Assignedto rs!Assignedto = " " 'assignedto=current employee name rs!LDdate = Now() rs!LDdisposition = "Do Not Call" rs.Update Set rsmyrs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("internetcalls", dbOpenDynaset) ' open table rsmyrs.Edit rsmyrs.addnew rsmyrs!ActivityDate = Now() rsmyrs!disposition = "Do Not Call" rsmyrs!LeadID = rs!LeadID rsmyrs!Employee = rs3!Username rsmyrs.Update Set rsmyrs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("call log", dbOpenDynaset) ' open table rsmyrs.Edit rsmyrs.addnew rsmyrs![Activity Date] = Now() rsmyrs!disposition = "Do Not Call" rsmyrs![Lead Id] = rs!LeadID rsmyrs!Employee = rs3!Username rsmyrs.Update rsmyrs.Close End If rs.MoveNext Loop Me.Requery End Sub
