I have a form which contains customer names. I used to be able to perform a filter on the form where when the name was inputted it would autocomplete to the nearest match for me. This has worked great for me for the past 6 months. Just recently though the database will not do this task for me. I have to input the complete name to search for the record.
On a side but related note when doing the filter if I did not have the complete name I was able to search through a listing via a drop down box which listed all the names that have been entered into the database. Now if I use the drop down box it only says:
Is Null
Is Not Null
Has something corrupted my database? I tried using a recent backup which worked for a few hours but then the problem returned. I am hoping that this is something that is easy to fix as my experience with Access is very limited.
Can't seem to locate a similar situation in the forum for this problem. I have a form based on "qryProjects". I have another form "Menu" which has cboType, lstStatus and lstSubtype. I thought that I could select criteria from each and, with a command button, have the form open up filtered with the three criteria. In qryProjects pane I have as the criteria for each of the three fields:
[Forms]![Menu].[lstStatus] - Value list Bound column = 1
[Forms]![Menu].[cboType] SQL in cboType = SELECT DISTINCT [SubType].[Type] FROM SubType; Bound column = 1
[Forms]![Menu].[lstSubtype] = this is filtered on the After Update of cboType SELECT [SubTypeID], [Subtype] FROM Subtype; Bound column = 1
I have them on separate lines in the query. When I run the query, it only filters on cboType and not the others. If I place the criteria all on the same criteria line, I get nothing.
Is my criteria in the wrong place? I was originally trying to make the form completely "unbound" and build a SQL string to pull the records but don't know if that is possible. My purpose is to eliminate macros that I was using as it took over 2 minutes to open the form with the BE residing on a shared network drive.
so I have been working on this form for a while and I'm really a newb at this maybe it easy maybe its not but i just couldn't figure this out I'm so frustratated that I'm willing to pay(beer money for help)
well anyways I have this form http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/rlan214/WorkAssignForm1.jpg at the side you can see that there are 3 filters 1st has check box (check box is always checked) for the date 2nd check box for Target Location 3rd check box for ForkliftID1
I also don't know how to change the date format in my date its in yyyymmdd format right now and I want it mmddyyyy
In the middle theres a blank, and thats where I wanted my query to show
here's my query http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/rlan214/WorkAssignQry1.jpg
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 a query form that allows user to search by two criteria (in which, user can select "And" or "Or" clause for the two criteria). I also allow user to filter the results by date range. On the form, I have two command button, one will prompt the results in a query table, and the other will prompt a report.
Problem 1 I manage to prompt report with a date range (i.e. two unbound text boxes for start date and end date). But, I dont' manage to disable the filter if the date range is null. Below is the code for this report command button. Should I use a toggle button to make a select case?

Problem 2 I have no idea how to filter the query results by date range in the query table. Below is the code of the query table button, which do not offer the filter feature. Would really appreciate it if you can give me some advice.

Sorry for posting this question again, as I thought it's better to make it a seperate posting, rather than a reply to my early post. Your advice will be greatly appreicated.
I would like to have a user enter a start date and an end date into two textboxes on a form. The two dates will be used to query a table. I would then like to print a report that was created from that query.
Here is the query created as a stored procedure:
SELECT Transactions.*, Hoods.* FROM Hoods INNER JOIN Transactions ON [Hoods].[ID]=[Transactions].[BoxID] WHERE ([Transactions].[Date] Between [@StartDate] And [@EndDate]) ORDER BY [Transactions].[Date];
What would be the best way to pass txtStartDate to @StartDate and txtEndDate to @EndDate in the VBA code of the form? How would I open or print the report created from that query filtered on that date range?
Any suggestions? Am I going about it wrong? Should I have created the report from the above query, or should I do it another way? Can anyone direct me to some code that does all of the above or something similiar?
I've got a single form ("Lead Data") that has Cascading Combo boxes that work perfectly, entering data into "tblLeadData":cboMatterTypeIDcboMatterIDcboAttyIDcboPlglID Attorney & Paralegal are the people assigned to the Matter. My problem is in finding a way to allow a specific Attorney or Paralegal to filter for only his or her records. I made a query of tblLeadData that works perfectly as a query, but when I use it as a filter in an "on click" macro event, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because of the cascading combos, because I've successfully used this kind of query based macro filter in the past.
Okay, more on how it is set up. The same people are always assigned to a specific matter, so when you pull down the Atty & Plgl combo boxes, there's only one person. So it isn't a true Parent/Child relationship, but it's working. And there were two advantages of this set up over an autopopulate set up (which I considered): 1) When I change something in the reference tables (refAtty and refPlgl), it also changes in tblLeadData & 2) in case there's an exception to the usual assignment pattern, we can just leave Atty & Plgl blank and put the correct assignment in a text box called "AssignmentNotes."
So my query of tblLeadData that works, qryLeadDataAssign, uses the following fields:
The Join Properties in the query between tblLeadData and refAtty is set to "2: Include ALL records from 'tblLeadData' and only those records from refAtty" where the joined fields are equal." And the same for Plgl.
When I run the query, it asks me a single time, "Who?", I put in the name and it pulls up all instances of the name from any of the 3 fields. It acts as a "contains" filter, not an "equals" one.
As for my cascading combos, here are the settingsMatterTypeIDRow Source:
SELECT refMatterType.MatterTypeID, refMatterType.MatterType, refMatterType.[MatterType] FROM refMatterType ORDER BY refMatterType.[MatterType]; On Change Event:Me.cboMatter.Requery MatterIDRow Source: SELECT tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter FROM tblMatter WHERE (((tblMatter.MatterTypeID)=[Forms].[LeadData].[cboMattertype])) GROUP BY tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter, tblMatter.Matter ORDER BY tblMatter.Matter; On Change Event:Me.cboAtty.Requery
[Code] ....
I put a button on the form and put an embedded macro as an "On Click" event. The macro is an "ApplyFilter" and the filter name is qryLeadDataAssign. When I click on the button, I am asked to enter
data 3 times:Enter Parameter Value: Atty Enter Parameter Value: Plgl Enter Parameter Value: Who?
Clearly, the expression in the query doesn't function in the button. And the result, no matter what I put in, is that all of the records are still there, although the filtered button is activated.
I tried putting the expression from the query into the macro builder window, but I for sure don't know what I'm doing there and haven't been able to make it work.
problem when I am trying to use Form to filter data from a cross tab query though I have already defined the parameters. The SQL is as under :
//Code start PARAMETERS [FORM]![START_MONTH] DateTime, [FORM]![END_MONTH] DateTime; TRANSFORM Round(Sum(CLng([A_GAS_m3]+[NA_GAS_m3])/1000000),3) AS GAS_MMSCM SELECT maindata.on_off, maindata.state, maindata.OPERATOR, maindata.field_block FROM maindata RIGHT JOIN PRODUCTION ON maindata.field_block = PRODUCTION.FIELD_BLOCK WHERE (((maindata.field_block)<>"Panna" And (maindata.field_block)<>"Mukta" And (maindata.field_block)<>"CB-ONN-2000/2(NSA)" And (maindata.field_block)<>"CB-ONN-2000/2(BHEEMA)") AND ((PRODUCTION.MONTH) Between Format([FORM]![START_MONTH],"dd-mm-yyyy") And Format([FORM]![END_MONTH],"dd-mm-yyyy"))) GROUP BY maindata.on_off, maindata.state, maindata.OPERATOR, maindata.field_block ORDER BY maindata.on_off, maindata.state, maindata.OPERATOR, maindata.field_block PIVOT PRODUCTION.ACTIVITY; //Code End
When I save it prompts for the Start and End Month and When I run the query it pops up the form twice...
I have one form which houses all my product information via the use of a query and subforms where appropriate. I would like to filter it in order to find records missing certain information.
I want to filter the information using a combo box.
The combo box has a user friendly name (Product Dimensions) and the name of a query related to that name (qryfilter_missing_prod_dims - this query is the record source query for the form plus the query that has the missing info, the query is set to return all records that match ie. all records that are missing info).
I want to write a vba code to filter my form based on that query.
And i can't get it to work using the cmd.applyfilter (docmd.applyfilter me.cbo_missing)
I've also tried to use me.recordsource. when i do it filters perfectly, but i can no longer edit any of my data in the form.
How to filter my form using a query that is not in the native form's record source?
how i would filter a form using an option button. E.g i want to be able to click an option button that is called Filter user and it will filter the query based on who is logged in? and a Filter all option that will clear the filter and show all records?
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.
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.
I have a form which uses a parameter based query to present an individual senior doctor with a list of names for of individual juniors to provide an assessment report on. When the first form opens the user enters their RespondentID.
Once senior has decided which names to comment on I have another form which has the questions to be answered which is opened by clicking a button on the first form.
How can I pass a parameter from the first form to the second so that only the records relevant to that senior doctor are displayed? The underlying table has 60 senior doctors and 20 junior doctors. The senior doctor is identified by the field RespondentID in the first form. I've tried putting a WhereClause in the FormOpen command but I still get a dialogue box asking for the parameter RespondentID when the second form is opened.
I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
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.
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:
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 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.
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?
: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?
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.
