Filter From A Form
Feb 24, 2006
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 donīt fill in all of the 6 fields it doesnīt 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?

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 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.

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.

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.

: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:

I 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?

Hi,
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

I'm confused how the syntax works

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?

I recently split my Access 2000 database and lost the ability to filter by form in the front end. I have the "Don't display list" set well above the number of records I have (by about 1000), and the "Show list of values in" options are all checked. These are the same settings as are in the back end, where I am still able to filter by form. Any known solutions out there?
While I'm doing this, can someone tell me how to set permissions for the front end where other users cannot delete data?

Hi folks. I have started getting back into Access at work. It's been at least 3 or 4 years. The company I am building this db for is using '97.
I am trying to build a form with a search button and a text box to type a search string.
The form also has a subform which will display or filter the records based on the search criteria
I have tried to adapt "themightydude's" code to work, but i'm not getting anywhere...
I am truly trying to get back into the programming mindset, but have a "writer's block" at this moment.
I really want to understand how VB works. (& Sadly, I know it's one of the easiest languages to understand...)
here's what i have so far.
Private Sub Search_Click()
Dim GCriteria As String
If Len(cboSearchBy) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchBy) = True Then
MsgBox "You must select a field to search."
ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then
MsgBox "You must enter a search string."
Else
'Generate search criteria
GCriteria = cboSearchBy.Value & " LIKE '*" & txtSearchString & "*'"
'Filter frmCustomers based on search criteria
Form_GlobalSearch.GlobalSearchSub.Form.RecordSourc e = "select * from projects where " & GCriteria
Form_GlobalSearch.Caption = "projects (" & cboSearchBy.Value & " contains '*" & txtSearchString & "*')"
MsgBox "Results have been filtered."
End If
End Sub
I have also attached a picture of the search form and a copy of the db for reference.
Sorry, I know this code is probably WAY off. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your help!

I setup a button in order to start the filter by form action. Is there a way to enter values into the fields using VB after the filter by form action has been executed. I would like a default value be placed in a certain field every time filter by form is executed. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a form which I can't seem to filter by form. When I click on "Filter by Form", the only combo option I get is "Is Null" or "Is Not Null", it does not give the full list in the table to choose. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my form? The form also has a sub-form....does it matter?
I also tried tesing filtering the table with query but it also doesn't work.
My query,
SELECT DOCUMENT.TITLE
FROM DOCUMENT
WHERE (((DOCUMENT.TITLE) ALike "*work order*"));
Also, with Filter by form can I use wildcards such as entering in the search field of the form as "= "*work order*"
thanks,
Galantis

I am trying to create a way for users to be able to filter a report just by opening it, and entering their criteria. so far I have it set up that a form with different list boxes pops-up, the user fills in the parameters, and clicks OK. From there it should filter the query that the report is dependent on and then filter the report accordingly. The problem I have hit is that the form comes up blank. There are no list boxes or command buttons (OK and Cancel). I think it might be because the form cannot get into the query because a parameter is required. I don't know if this at all makes sense. Please help, I'm new to Access and I've about pulled out every hair on my head trying to figure this one out. :eek:

I have a form and I have placed a "Filter by form" button in it. Now I would like to create a second button that applies the filter (same funtions as the funnel icon on the toolbar. I tried using a macro with a command but when I click the first button and the form is ready to accept my criteria for the filter both button are greyed out. The only way I could apply the filter is through the toolbar. Any way of doing this second button?

I have a simple bit of code below but I need something added. All the code is doing is opening a form and filtering on a combo box value. It opens all cases where the status is open but if there are no open cases it takes me to a new record, how do I get my code to recognise that there are no cases and display a message box for me instead and then close the form?
Private Sub open_Click()
Dim stDocname As String
stDocname = "frmMain"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocname
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "Status ='Open"
End Sub
