Filter Combo Box Query From A Form Field
Feb 21, 2008
If anybody could shine some light it would be much appreciated.
I have 3 tables:
Task table---*Task ID, Task(txt), Start(date/Time), finish(date/Time)
Tasking table---*TaskingID, TaskID, EmployeeID
employee table---*EmployeeID, Name(txt)
The employee and task table are joined to the tasking table. This is so i can have a task which has many employees and an employee with many tasks. What i'm try to do is create a form which starts a task with a subform to add employees, but with combo box which filters employees with tasks which over-lap the task in focus(start and finish fields) but still showing employees which do not yet have any tasks. the start and finish fields are hh:nn dd/mm/yy.
If anybody can help i would be very grateful

I have seen a few articles here and there on using a combo box to filter records in a sub-form and to filter records in another combo box, but I am not getting anywhere. I hope someone can belp
Exercise 1
For this exercise, I have the following tables:
tblClients containing client names
tblProjects containing some project details
I want to set up a simple form, so that the user can select a client name from a combo box on the main form which filters the project detail records in the Projects sub-form.
Once the user enters project details, I want this info as well as the selected ClientID to be fed back to tblProjects.
Exercise 2
I have the following tables:
tblProjects as above
tblWorkstream containiig names of workstreams and some other details.
Every project has one or more workstreams
I have a form where users will enter hours worked on each workstream. They will first select Project from a combo box on the main form. This should then filter records to be displayed in the Workstream Combo box, before they can then enter hours.
Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of this better.
Thanks in advance.
ps. I am a novice, so I'm hoping to do the above using default MS stuff, not with complex programming!!!
Thanks

I have some code in which I enter a startdate and a enddate into textbox's and a combo box where I enter a client name when I run the code it will show all record's generated with in the date range and same client name set in the combo box "cboclient" what I would like to be able to do is have another combo box call cboclient2 which will allow me to enter another client name so then when the report opens it will show me with in the date range set in startdate and enddate and filter the client field by cboclient and cboclient2 so for e.g.
startdate
01/01/14
enddate
11/01/14
cboclient
peter
cboclient2
steve
Run code show all record in date range and with client name peter and steve
Here's the code I have
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
'On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Remove the single quote from start of this line once you have it working.
Dim strReport As String
Dim strDateField As String
Dim strWhere As String
Dim lngView As Long
Const strcJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#" 'Do NOT change it to match your local settings.
[Code] ....

I want to create a cascading combo box - so far so simple, but in all the tutorials I can find the options in the second combo box are exclusive to the first e.g. combo box 1 selects "state", combo box 2 then displays "city". Each city can only be in one state.
In my scenario each city is in several different states - and so far I'm failing to come up with any sort of strategy as to how to deal with this. I tried giving each state a "yes/no" formatted field in the "city" table, figuring if I could use the first combo box to point access to the right field in the "city" table I could filter those records by "WHERE [fieldnominatedbycombobox1] =True" - but I don't know how to make a one combo box determine which field a subsequent combo box filters by.

I'm working on a table for work which will serve as a database of bins and the products currently in those bins, as follows:
ID Bin Amt Product
1 34 25 110001
2 33 15 200005
3 32 23 110003
etc.
Basically: employee A will use a form to update "Bin 34" (ID=1), with information (Amt, Product) until it is emptied by employee B and cleared using a separate form. No new records will be made or deleted, just the adjacent fields (Amt, Product) cleared and filled in and cleared again over and over.
What I'm trying to figure out is, when employee A clicks on the combo box on his/her form to select a Bin and enter information, how can I filter what is listed in the combo box to display only those bins which have no values under Amt & Product. The real-world risk of overwriting a bins fields before it has been cleared by employee B (who physically empties the bin) can be extremely high monetarily so I am trying to reduce that risk by eliminating it from the combo box until employee B has cleared those fields.

On my database, I have 2 forms. One is to enter data into a Master table, and the other is to specify search terms for a query, and I'm having a problem with the search form.
I've got 2 combo boxes, a tick box and some text boxes which I use to specify criteria for the query. All of the text boxes and the tick box work fine, however the combo boxes are giving me trouble.
I'm using the critera Like "*" & Form![SearchForm]![Combo/Text/Whatever1] & "*" for the text boxes and tick box and this worked fine. However, no matter what way I try to use this, it doesn't work for the combo box. I've tried manipulating the Like function as much as possible, with and without the wildcards, the & signs, everything.
What happens is that either they do not filter out results at all and don't affect the query, or they bring up a blank query if I leave the combo box blank.

I am using combo box to filter records from a form. The data source for the form is from a query.
I use the combo box within the query to filter the data, I would like the form to refresh/ run the query again every time a new selection is made from the combo box.

I have a reservation form and I want to tick a checkbox that will filter the form based on what is in the "Reservation Status" combo box.When the checkbox is ticked, the code would remove all records that have "Complete" as a status in the "Reservation Status" combo box. The non-working code that I currently have is:
Code:
Private Sub chkHideComplete_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
If Me.chkHideComplete = True Then
Me.filter = "[ReservationStatus] = 1"
Me.FilterOn = True

combo boxes and continuous forms.I have a continuous form (works great), with two combo boxes that navigate (rather than limit/ filter the list) to the desired selection.One for suburb and one for postcode.
I have expanded the select criteria for the suburb to include postcode as some suburb names are used in more than one state. (I do not want to have to select a state, then suburb).I changed the column count to see the postcode next to the suburb, however when the selection is made only the first instance is selected.
Example.
Epping 2121
Epping 3076
If I chose Epping 3076, Epping 2121 is selected and the continuous form navigates to that suburb (rather than the one with 3076).Can I change this so that I can still search by postcode, or search by suburb and have the form navigate to the corrected suburb postcode combination?

For [Pay Period] ="02" is there a way to make it filter by a combo box from the Mainform? This code is on a Subform the combo box is on a Mainform
Forms![Overview_]![Combo35] <the path for the combo box.
I tried inserting it where the 02 was but it just returns 0 and if I remove the "" it will error the whole thing out. Same if I try to just remove the [Pay Period]="02" and replace it fully it errors out.

Hello All,
Thank you for taking time to view my access problem, I hope somebody can help / give advice on my problem.
I have a Form, within that form I have a subform. On the main Form I have several Combo Boxes.
ComboBoxes include; Year. Movie. Country.
What I want to do is when the user selects from the various values within each Combo Box to display the data in the subform accordingly.
I was able to use the Wizard to display the Movie Information correctly. The code is below for that. How can I go by doing this.
' Code to change the movie information, when they select the combo box
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[MovieID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![cmbMovieList], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
I am very sorry if my question seems broad, ill try to be more specific upon request. THANK YOU for your time and your help.

I have a two combo boxes that I want to use to help filter a query. The field the combo boxes need to filter is a numeric field with values that range anywhere from 200 to 1.5 million. To make the filtering easier I set the combo box up to several values (RowSource = Value List) that will serve as a range.
It seems that the query is not recognizing the values selected in the combo box. The numbers appear after being selected, but the query is not affected by the selection. However, When I enter a number NOT on the list (like 428) the query recognizes the value.
How can I get the query to recognize the Value List entries on the combo box?

I would like to filter a data from a table using a combo box in a form.
The field I would like to filter is called ManufacturersID in MainTable and consist of text and wildcard characters [e.g., Teledyne O&G (ODI), TE Connectivity (Deutsch), etc...], so are the combo strings which are extracted from the table ManufacturersTable. It is not filtering anything. I suspect that the wildcards and spaces are the problem. I also tried to get the combo string to a text box in the form and use it in the query with no success. Additionally, I also tried Like [Forms]![FormName]![textbox] in query criteria but still not filtering...
How can I overcome this?

I have a database and a form that is based off of a simple table. The table has NO look ups and all of the formatting is text. The form is continuous and simply displays these fields. (Kind of like a company roster with name and department). I have two combo boxes at the top of this form in the header with the intent of filtering the form records by department and employee type (lets say A or B).
I have tried every way I know how to get these records to filter and they will not filter correctly. Utilizing methods I have used in multiple other databases, I set the two comboboxes to cascade based on a query in the recordsource. The vba I'm using in the after event of each combo is ....
Me.Filter = "[Brand] = '" & Me.cbobrand & "'"
Me.FilterOn - True
'Brand is the "department" and the other identical code is for Personel_Type
This filters the records but independently. So, cbobox1 filters the records to show all Brand 1. When cbobox2 selection is made it shows all the Personel_Type of the selection however the first filter is already disregarded. (i.e. When cbobox2 selection is made, it contains both brands instead of the one I've just selected and filtered in cbobox1. )
Outside of making two queries to account for each possible filter, I have tried setting a filter on the filterON, I have tried a SQL based VBA code, I have tried making two forms and attempting to set the filter on open but either way, nothing keeps the first filter selected (or the FilterON, or both SQL filters, etc). The ONLY way I have found to get it to filter both is with the filter function in Access, which is not useful as my users will not have access to the menu bars.
I have this EXACT same setup in another database and it works fine with 3 cbo boxes with an after even to set a filter for the recordsource for all three.

I want to filter the records in a combo box (cboSupplier) using the In() function.
On the form I have an unbound control called "intFilter". It contains the following string: 23, 58
The SQL statement for the combo box is
Code:
SELECT SupplierID, SupplierName
FROM tblSupplier
ORDER BY SupplierName;
In the criteria for field SupplierId I want to use the In() function so that the only records returned by the combo box are those in "intFilter". I have tried
Code:
In (Forms![frmSupplierReport]![intFilter]
but this does not work.
If I put: In (23, 58) in the criteria it works, but I cannot hard code it because the string in "intFilter" will change on the fly!
How would I achieve this?

I am running access 2007 and have a continuous form that I am trying to filter. The table that I am pulling the data from has the following fields: Order_Date, Order_number, Model.
I want to filter based on Order_Date.
I tried creating an "after update" Macro builder on my combo box and using "Apply Filter" but I cannot seem to get my syntax right.
Filter is the name of my combo box
Here is my current setup:
Filter Name:
Where Condition: [Order_Date] Like [Filter]
Control Name:
However whenever I select a new date from my combo box it asks me to "Enter Parameter Value" for Filter, which I don't understand because my combo box name is Filter. I would think they would link up.

I have a modal form with a combo box and a search button.
When the button in pressed, the value of the combo box is the parameter of a query.
Copy and paste of the search button code:
Code:
Private Sub btnSearch_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdef As DAO.QueryDef
Dim strSQL As String
[Code] ....
I've tested the SQL query produced by the search button and it works, but when I try to push the button, I receive an error on the following line:
Set qdef = db.QueryDefs("qryFilteredData")

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 a simple split form with datasheet on the bottom and a couple of comboboxes (unbound) on the form header which the user can use for filtering the data. When some users open the form the allowedit property of the form is set to false, because those users can only view the records. But the result is that also the comboboxes cannot be set, hence no filtering!

I use filter Combo boxes in a lot of places so that users can filter records easily. (Not combo boxes for input).I have them labeled as filters but nonetheless users keep trying to input into them for some reason.How would I add a message box to it so that it states that 'this box is not for data entry etc'.
