Hi all,
I am new to all this database stuff and new to your forums so please be gentle :P
I have a database i have made, only a small project atm but filtering by form is a big part of the workings of the database. Now as i understand it the filter is not included in Access RunTime2000 is there any way to create a form to simulate the above filter ?
Thxs in advance

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).
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
hey,
i want to create a on runtime. i know hoe to do that ... what i don't know is how to make the form format to be the same as the form it was called from.
i want all the visual attributes to be applied to the new form.
thanks

I have a form that contains a field with an On Click event procedure to send the value in that field to a corresponding field on a subform attached to another form. Does that make any sense? The On Click procedure looks like this:
Private Sub FieldNameonCurrentForm_Click()
Forms!frmMainFormName!fsubSubFormName.Form!txtFiel dName = me.FieldNameonCurrentForm
End Sub
I’m not quite sure what I am doing wrong. I am getting the Run-time Error ‘2465’ and it is pointing out that it is unable to find field ‘fsubSubFormName’. I have double (and triple) checked the names and I have not misspelled the names of the form or subform. Did I set up the event incorrectly? Could it be that I am not calling the subform the correct way? Any ideas? .....
Hi.
As you know it's not possible to set the "BorderStyle"-property of a form during runtime.
But thats a kind of functionality, i need to use in my Access 2003 application.
I need to 'simulate' the value "none" during runtime, that means that there is absolutely no frame/border around the form.
Design-mode is not possible, because i need to use a MDE file.
So i dealed with the APIs and nearly got it.
But i always have had a kind of very thin 'sunken'-frame around my form.
I also played with the extended window-styles, but the result was that i got a 'raised'-frame around the form.
Over all i really got wired in my head.
Maybe someone already did that too and can post the right api-calls / styles here?
I would be really thankful, because i quit that now after hours...

I was trying from a button on my form that will go to and bring up the desktop. I want it so I can put this database on anyone's computer and the button will work.
I am using this and it works but only on my computer.
Application.FollowHyperlink "C:UsersBryanDesktop"
I also tried this
Application.FollowHyperlink "C:Show Desktop.scf"
And
Application.FollowHyperlink "C:WINDOWSSystemShow Desktop.scf"
Both gives Runtime error 490 cannot open specified file.
I am currently creating a form which includes a command button to update a field in a table to show Today's Date, at the time of running a query I am still yet to write.
I have the following code for my Command Button, which is returning the Runtime Error 3464 (Data type mismatch in Criteria Expression):
Private Sub cmdAddTodaysDate_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute (" UPDATE tblMyTable SET TodaysDate = " & Date & " WHERE tblMyTable.ProductCode = " & Me.txtProductCode)
End Sub
The query above seems to be having issues matching the text from the 'txtProductCode' textbox to the table field 'ProductCode'.
I created a small database with a user login form, along with a password reset form. Running it in my sandbox as an accdr file, the password value resets just fine, but on my test machine with the Access 2010 runtime installed, the password reset form doesn't reset the password. I will try to describe the state of things as of this point.
1. The LoginF presents with a combo box for the user to choose their name, and a text box to enter their password. The code below is on the After Update of the password text box.
Code:
Private Sub txtPassword_AfterUpdate()
'Check if user has been chosen
If IsNull(Me.cboUser) Then
MsgBox "Please Select User Initials", vbInformation, "Warning"
[Code] ....
2. The password reset form has two text boxes for the new password and to re-enter the same, as well as a command button with this code.
Code:
Private Sub cmdResetPassword_Click()
If Me.Password = Me.PasswordTest And Len(Me.Password) & "" > 0 Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "LoginF"
[Code] ....
As I say, this works as an accdr file, but not in the actual runtime environment.
I'm trying to open a recordset in vba and I'm getting the 3061 runtime error,Expected 1.
I'm trying to open a recordset with a query that uses a reference to a form control.
Code:
searchtable1 = "qInVisio_RSV"
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(searchtable1, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
This is the sql of the query:
The highlighted parted is the form referance ( I know it's obvious, just for easier spotting )
Code:
SELECT dbo_FOLIO.FOLIOID, dbo_FOLIO.KIND, dbo_FOLIO.RSVID, dbo_FOLIO.CHKIDATE, dbo_RLIST.ROOMID, dbo_ROOM.ROOMNO, dbo_AGN.LINAPRG
FROM (dbo_ROOM INNER JOIN (dbo_FOLIO INNER JOIN dbo_RLIST ON dbo_FOLIO.RSVID = dbo_RLIST.RSVID) ON dbo_ROOM.ROOMID = dbo_RLIST.ROOMID) LEFT JOIN dbo_AGN ON dbo_FOLIO.AGNID = dbo_AGN.AGNID
WHERE (((dbo_FOLIO.KIND)=101) AND ((dbo_FOLIO.CHKIDATE)>=[Forms]![frmCleaningPlan]![DTPicker]));
also as you can see it's a datepicker control, so the value is a date...
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.
On a form I have a:
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:
[Forms]![frmPrintHowCustomersPaidInvoice]![FilterListBox]
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 form (Suppliers) with a button that opens another form (Product List).
At the moment the form (Product List) is set as a pop-up form and when opened lists all products.
I want to filter the pop-up form to only display products for the current supplier displayed in the Supplier Form.
I have tried the following below without success - I have varied this but the filter does not apply ...
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Product List", acNormal, , "SupplierID = " & SupplierID
End Sub
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Hi!
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 don´t fill in all of the 6 fields it doesn´t 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:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 14 Replies View RelatedHi,
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.
Is this possible?
thanks a lot for any help.
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.
How do i go about doing this.
Thanks very much
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
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
Hello guys,
Hope you're all well.
I need some help with a form filter I need the form to filter out those records with a STATUS that is "OVERDUE" and a date that is < date().
I've tried...
Me.Filter = "[Status]='Overdue' AND [deadline] < date()"
Me.FilterOn = True
type mismatch ....
I'm confused how the syntax works
does anyone know how the expression should be written.
Cheers

Friends
I am using access to keep farming data of 300 farmers. I have a edit screen, where the farmer's name are in a drop down combo. After update, I want the consequent data field to be changed according to the farmer's name. I am using the following code in after update of the combo field farmer:
Private Sub farmer_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "Id = Forms!basedata_edit!farmer"
Me!farmer.Requery
Me!farmer.Enabled = True
End Sub
ID is the reference of the farmer which is stored in the master data. basedata_edit is the form name. My problem is, for the first selection, the filter is showing the proper data. But if I change farmer's name, the other fields are not changing.
What do I need to do?
