Hi all,
I'm creating a database for agents to use at work. Because they will all be using it at the same time, I need to create a combo box on the form that will filter the contents to only show those with their name in them. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Hey all I am having a problem with my form filter. I was wondering if you can just direct a filter from form 1 to form 3 without referencing form 2. I am thinking not cause I am having a problem getting the filter to work. Here is the code I have in my load form.
framfiltval = "CONSTR_LOCATION = " + "'" + Form_PID.ADDRESS3.Value + "'"
Form.Filter = framfiltval
Form.FilterOn = True
Thank for the help in advance
I have a subform on my main form. Note that there is no relationship between the recordset of the main form and the recordset of the subform.
I need to be able to change the filter on the subform dynamically during run-time. I know this sounds a little odd because in theory I should be able to drive the subform off the main form using the LinkChildFields / LinkMasterFields.
Anyway, some things that I've tried:
Forms![MainForm]![SubForm].Filter = Blah
Forms![SubForm].Filter = Blah
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Anyone has any idea about how to filter a form depending on values of a subform?
For example:
There is a main form that displays the students of a school one at a time and a subform that displays the courses that each one has selected. A button on the main form opens an InputBox so that the user can enter a course to see the students that have selected it. So I want after the user presses enter to have the main form filtered to show only those students.
I've search around the forum and haven't come up with the answer yet.
So here goes...
I have a main form (GRCSearch) that is tied to a table (StoredSearches). When users enter data in this form it saves it to the table. It is a single record form. The data entered by the user is used to search a big second unbound table via some queries.
The search data entered is then recorded to the table (StoredSearches) as a way for the user to track searches and to recall them if they want to run the same search again.
I've created a pop-up form that displays a continuous record layout of the StoredSearches table and a command button at the left of each record.
I want the user to be able to click the command button to the left of each record in the pop-up and that in turn set the focus of the main form to that record. It recalls the search data, repopulating the search fields of the main form. And in the onclick event I'll also have it close the pop-up window.
I however cannot find any references to setting the focus from one form to another form this way. I've found plenty that changes the focus of a form from an embedded subform.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

I have a query that when run asks for a client ID and then displays a total of funds for that client.
I also have a form for each client's persobal details and I would like to have a command button on that form, that when clicked runs the query automatically using the client ID being used.
I can get a command button to open another form based on client ID but not a query.
many thanks
Hi
I have a minor problem.
I have a table and form with a carpool.
I would like to be able to display history by date with the help of the combobox which car you had last week.
But I don't know how to go about it.
I have attached a DB and would be glad if someone can but their magic touch to it.

Hi All,
I have a continious form that displays over 500 records. Is there a way to sort through this form based on hitting a key, or indexing the alphabet...or maybe even another idea (for a given field)...in an effort to get me to a record needed quicker.
If that's not clear, in other words...I need to be able to jump through the continious form in a quick fashion, so if I'm searching departments, I don't need to scroll through the whole form to get to the Departments that start with "t"...I hope that's better.
Thanks in advance,
Josh
Hi.
My aim is to create a text box (could be combo box as well) in a Form, where i can input or select
lets say a Refference field from Quotations, and open automatically the Quotation Form.
This can save time if you have 1000 quotations and you need only one with the specified Refference.
I create a macro which I OpenForm and i Afterupdate the box. But does not filter properly.
Is the right way to the solution of my problem??
Please experts advise.
how do i filter a form based off what you select in a list box?
thanks

I have a form that we are creating to issue project numbers. We have about 80 different clients. I have set up a combo box for the client name, where we can choose the client from the drop down menu. We want the form to filter according to the client name that you choose. For example, if you pick Lawrence as the client name, the next combo box is the project name and I want it to only show the project names that have been assigned to Lawrence in the past. Can someone please help me on how to do this and if it is even possible at all? Thank you so much for your help!! I have been wrestling with this for about a week and a half now.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem filtering a form on load.What I am trying to say is if the role = Agent then filter on todays completed records and records that have a completed date of Null for the particular agent.
Here is the code:
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then
AgentFilter = "(CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "')"
DateCompletedFilter = "((DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "#)OR (DATECOMPLETED Is Null))"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter & " And " & DateCompletedFilter
Exit Sub
End If
The filter on the agents works and the filter on the completed date of null apeears to work however when a record is completed it diappears on refreshing of the form even though the record has been completed on todays date.I have investigated the code an the issue appears to be with the DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "# part of the code.
I currently have this form (combobox) that filters using one piece of criteria.
Private Sub cboSelectPress_AfterUpdate()
'Moves to Press field and
'finds records where "press" matches whatever is selected in the combo box
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
Me!Press.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!cboSelectPress
End Sub
"Press" is a machine number. How can I add more combo boxes to filter additional information from my query. Like "room" or "product" or "date?" What happens if the user leaves one of the boxes blank?
My fields are
"Date"- date the product was ran
"press"- the press it was ran on
"product"- the name of the product
"shift"- the shift it was ran on
I want the user to be able to select ALL or none of these fields for results.
I am using Access 2013
I can't figure out Form Filters. Basically I have a load of controls on the form. The first control I select I'm able to click the Filter button on the Ribbon and get shown a load of checkboxes to filter the field on (see capture.png)On subsequent controls, clicking the Filter button on the ribbon doesn't show the checkboxes for that control (see capture2.png).

Im having trouble filtering a combobox on a form. I have two Comboboxes, one is called (FleaTickWorming) depending on what is elected in this cobo, will deside on what is available in the other combo which is called (Product). The form is a continuous form. The filtering works, in as far as it changes the list each time, but it also deletes the item that I have chosen on previous records if the list is different. My code is as follows:
Code:
Private Sub FleaTickWorming_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.FleaTickWorming.Column(0) = 1 Then
Me.Product.RowSource = "qry_FleaProducts"
ElseIf Me.FleaTickWorming.Column(0) = 2 Then

I am creating a booking database for a Bus Hire company. There is also an Invoice element to it, which will Invoice customers for a range of bookings that they've made.You will see in the screen image, the relationships between the four tables:
-tblInvoice
-tblInvoiceDetails
-tblCustomer
-tblBooking
IN tblBooking (see screen dump) the customer is allocated a booking number and so on. However, at the end of the month, the Customer will be invoiced for specific bookings. I would like to, firstly, select the customer in the Invoice form, then in the InvoiceDetails subform, select THE BOOKINGS THEY HAVE PREIVOUSLY Made using a look up. (see screen dump called frmInvoice.Gif)
I have applied a criteria to the data source for the look up. (see image datasource...GIF) with forms![frmInvoice]![CustomerID] in the hope that the query will search for BookingIDs where the currently selected CustomerID (in Form Invoice) finds a corresponding match in tblBooking.
Below is the working version of the code works for single report filtering. say a report called "rptduedate_census2" and i can filter out using form instead of hard coding query of that report (say lastname=form!frmsample!txtlastname). I dont want to hard code query and there are reasons for that.
I am using a Main report called "rptDueDates_Dept' and there are about 10 different subreports (see print screen). The main report is not bound to any query. It has many subereport. Each subreport is bound to some query and i need to be able to filter them before data appear on the main report. Am i making any sense, LOL.
How can I implement my working code below to do this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP. I AM NEW TO ALL THIS. I have attached a print screen of the main report, just to show how i put subreports in their.
===== MY WORKING CODE ======
Private Sub cmdPrv_Click()
Dim strFilter As String
strFilter = "[Mail_Census_Date] BETWEEN #" & txtStartDate & " # AND # " & txtEndDate & " # "
' Apply the filter and switch it on
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acReport, "Report") <> acObjStateOpen Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptduedate_census2", acViewPreview

Please help. My inability to achieve this is very frustrating.
I have a tabular form based on a query, which returns a large number of records. I need users to be able to filter the records to display data relating to what they have entered in a number of combo boxes.
For example I have fields showing Product ID, Manufacturer ID, Purchase Order number and due date. Each of these fields has a corresponding unbound combo box where users can select values that appear in the table. I need to be able to filter the form based on what is in these combo boxes. I.e. Filler for a product ID to show all purchase orders numbers and due dates relating to that product ID or filter for a manufacturer ID and due date to show all Product IDs and purchase orders relating to that a manufacturer and date.
Ideally this would be achieved by pressing a command button.
The query, table and combo boxes are all built and work fine but I am unable to get the filter to work, I am using Access 97 and am not very familiar with visual basic. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I am making a Customer Contacts database. The people in this database are organized into 30 groups.
I have one main form, and 30 queries to filter the records displayed on the form
I made buttons on a form representing the different groups of contacts to view, and when you click on one of those buttons, the main form opens with the record source as the query of the group you clicked on.
Here is my coding for one of the buttons
DoCmd.OpenForm "MainForm"
Forms![MainForm]![HomeAddress].Form.RecordSource = "Company Work"
Also on the main form, I have a button to open a report that displays address labels of all the people in the database
How do i code that button, so that the records displayed in that report will be the same as those records displayed on the form? How do i filter the records in the report so they will be the same as in the form?
I'm using 4 combo-boxes in order to filter a tabular form in access.
One combo box is for a company name the second is for a report type and the third and forth is for choosing years. I used VBA in order to apply the filter:
Code:
Me.Filter = "[Company].Value Like ""*"" & '" & Combo108.Value & "' & ""*"""
Me.Filter = "[Report_Type] =" & "'" & Me.Combo123.Value & "'" & ""
Me.Filter = "[Rep_Year] Between " & Combo125.Value & " and " & Combo127.Value
Each line works by itself but I cant figure out how to combine them together, or how to use "AND" between each filter so the filtering will refer all of them when I run the code.
I have a form named form1. In the form I have two unbound text boxes formated as general date; startdate and enddate are the text box names. In my query criteria for the ContactDateTime field I put the following code
Code:
[Forms]![Form1]![StartDate] And [Forms]![Form1]![EndDate]
When I run it I don't get any results. So it runs but no records come up. I have about five queries that run when I click a button and I want to be able to just select start and end dates once on the form and have all the quieries run.
I'm having a bit of trouble with a piece of VBA code I have. What it's supposed to do is filter and sort a report using a form. But there are two lines, which both I need, in it that are not compatible with each other. When both are in and I apply the filter with only a sort, it gives me a "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument."
But the code runs beautifully when only one of the pieces, which I've highlighted in red below, is in it. The debugger highlights strFilter = Left$(strFilter, lngLen) after I have received the error.
Code:
lngLen = Len(strFilter) - 5
If (lngLen <= 0) And ([cboSort1] = "Not Sorted") Then
MsgBox "Insert criteria before filtering.", vbInformation, "No Criteria"
Else
strFilter = Left$(strFilter, lngLen)

I'm using a datasheet that can be filtered for certain fields. I have a macro that opens a form to the record that was selected (aka "current") in the datasheet. It filters this opened form to "1 of 1" which makes sense. How would I go about filtering that form for all of the records left (after filtering) in the datasheet?
I hate macros, but I'm doing client-specific work. The primary key is a field (autonumber) called "ListingNumber".
