Forms :: Apply Filter To Form And Allow User To Do Edits
Jan 10, 2015
I'm creating a database about Vets and I need to make a button on my menu form that will open something like message box that will allow me to type in something (in my case Customer ID) which will then apply the filter on the customer form and allow me to do edits. I have only done the macro that will open the customer form but can't figure out how to do the filter part.
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 have a form with a bottom that has a macro that uses applyfilter to filter the current form based on what is within a textbox located on the form.
I used the macobuilder and have my where condition as
[num] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*" Or [name] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*"
This works when I open the form by itself but when I try adding the form to a navigation form I get prompted to put in "num" and "[Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] " etc. when I click the bottom.
How do I apply a filter that automatically loads when a form is opened? For example, I have a check box and I only want to load records where the box is checked.
I am trying to filter a subform based in a combobox. What im doing wrong, is it the Sintax? This is what i have so far..
Private Sub Buscar_Click () Dim strFilter As String strFilter = Me.CombNomes.Value Me.subfrmBANCO.Form.Recordsource = "[Nome]=""&strFilter&""" Me.subfrmBANCO.Requery End Sub
'subfrmBanco is a subform based on a table called "BANCO"' '[Nome] is the field in BANCO that im trying to filter on 'CombNomes is the combobox im using as filter parameter
I have a continuos form (list of records) with a tool bar with "filter by form buton". This buton allow to users filter the list of records showed by the form by diferent field criterias.
After applied a filter I need a buton in the tool bar to print the filtered records on a report with a specific design: logo company, header, footer, etc.
I don't know how to apply the same filter used by the form to a report. Notice the filter by form continuos change depending the user.
I have not too much experiencie in programming. So I appreciate in advance any help.
I have a form with data fields and a list box, data is coming from a query. When I add a toggle button to apply a filter to the data on the form, the data in the fields are filtered, but the list box still shows all the data items. How do I use a toggle button or something on the form that when activated it filters the data in the list box and the list box only shows the filtered content.
I am trying to create a form with control buttons on the form for all the letters of the alphabet. When a user clicks on the button for A, I would like them to only see records that starts with an "A". I assume that I should apply an event to the button's OnClick-property, with a filter, but I can't seem to get it right...any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Hello everyone. I am having trouble with applying filter on 2 date fields in form. I have succeeded by applying fiter on report by Date, but I just can't seem to work it out on Form! I believe there has to be something to do with the DoCmd code.
I have a main form (frmRate) which has fields (txtDate & txtValidity) that contain dates. I have a subform called (frmSearchRateCustomer) which has 4 fields (txtStartDate, txtEndDate, txtStartDate2, txtEndDate2) where the data range should be filled in as search criteria. I have also an additional combobox (cboCustomer) where user can select customer as a search criteria as well. I have a button that has to do the Search in frmRate. The combobox criteria works very well, just the date filtering is not working. I am pasting my code as follows:
Code:Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearch_ClickDim strCustomer As StringDim strFilter As StringDim stDocName As StringDim strForm As StringDim strField As String 'Name of your Order field.Dim strWhere As String 'Where condition for OpenReport.Const conDateFormat = "#dd/mm/yyyy#"Dim strField2 As String 'Name of your Arrival field.Dim strWhere2 As String 'Where condition for OpenReport.Const conDateFormat2 = "#dd/mm/yyyy#" strForm = "frmRate" strField = "txtDate" strField2 = "txtValidity" ' For the Order Date Search Criteria Date range If IsNull(Me.txtStartDate) Then If Not IsNull(Me.txtEndDate) Then 'End date, but no start. strWhere = strField & " < " & Format(Me.txtEndDate, conDateFormat) End If Else If IsNull(Me.txtEndDate) Then 'Start date, but no End. strWhere = strField & " > " & Format(Me.txtStartDate, conDateFormat) Else 'Both start and end dates. strWhere = strField & " Between " & Format(Me.txtStartDate, conDateFormat) & " And " & Format(Me.txtEndDate, conDateFormat) End If End If ' Debug.Print strWhere 'For debugging purposes only. ' For the Arrival Date Search Criteria Date rangeIf IsNull(Me.txtStartDate2) Then If Not IsNull(Me.txtEndDate2) Then 'End date, but no start. strWhere2 = strField2 & " < " & Format(Me.txtEndDate2, conDateFormat2) End If Else If IsNull(Me.txtEndDate2) Then 'Start date, but no End. strWhere2 = strField2 & " > " & Format(Me.txtStartDate2, conDateFormat2) Else 'Both start and end dates. strWhere2 = strField2 & " Between " & Format(Me.txtStartDate2, conDateFormat2) & " And " & Format(Me.txtEndDate2, conDateFormat2) End If End If If IsNull(Me.cboCustomer.Value) Then strCustomer = "Like '*'" Else strCustomer = "='" & Me.cboCustomer.Value & "'" End If ' Build filter string strFilter = "[txtCustomerName] " & strCustomer DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, acNormal, , strWhere ' for date DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, acNormal, , strWhere2 ' for date stDocName = "frmRate" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal ' Apply filter to report With Forms![frmRate] .Filter = strFilter .FilterOn = True End WithExit_cmdSearch_Click: Exit SubErr_cmdSearch_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdSearch_Click End Sub
I have used the same code as I have used for my Report, just changed few things like rpt --> frm etc...
I Have 2 combo box on a form: Product_Type (6 values) and Product_Name (30 values and each belongs to a type), I want to narrow down the Product_Name to related Product_type whenever I select a type in the first field. Is there anyway to do this?
I'm trying to implement a macro to filter through accidents to see if my company has already been hired on a particular case.
In the first form the user enters the date, location, and last name of one of the drivers. Then they click a button which opens a new form as a datasheet with accidents that match ANY of the three controls. Evidently, I need a filter that contains some form of a series of OR operators.
However, whenever I try any variation of a button that opens the second form and then applies the filter, I always get no matches.
I have a query where on an IIF result a field is displayed or an "OK"
I have an imported field of 6 chrs where I only want the left 5 so I use Loc:=Left([Location],5) ,
I then compare the result in, MoveTo: to another fixed field [PreferLoc]
MoveTo: IIf([Loc]=[PreferLoc],"OK",[PreferLoc])
I wish to citeria out all the "OK" values so I have <>"OK" in the critria section but when I try to run the query I am presented with a selection box asking for Loc This Query feeds a report so I set the filter to yes in the report properties and use [MoveTo]<>"OK" as the filter and this works great until I close and reopen the app where the filter has gone ? Can anyone advise where I am going wrong with my query and or my report ?
I am working on an ADP ( first time working with this ). I have a form that is based on a parametized query.
The record source for the form is the parametized query which works fine the first time it is brought up. When the user wants to change the client number, a button "change client" is clicked and the event that gets triggered is openform=("edit client")...... Well, instead of being prompted, I get the error "The ApplyFilter action contiains a filter name that cannot be applied".... When I do a right -click on that same button, and "remove filter "I can get my prompt, but I dont want to keep doing that. I am not sure how to remove the filter from this button. I am not sure what the error message is telling me. Thanks for your help.
I have created a runtime setup package for a friend to let her use my Access 2010 application, without having to purchase Access 2010. However, the ApplyFilter macro in one of the forms doesn't work in the runtime environment. The message suggested I use a SelectObject before ApplyFilter but that gave me another error.
I have an issue trying to apply a filter to a record-set. Here's the code:
Dim choice As String Dim rset1, rset2 As DAO.Recordset Dim dbs as DAO.Database Dim var As Variant
[code]...
Whenever the last line is executed, i.e. rset2=rset1.OpenRecordset, I get the following error message:<<<Too few parameters, Expected 2>.. It used to work before? Maybe an issue with my library?
I thought "Undo" was only available while in the current record.Here were my steps:
1 - Loaded form that shows 1 record per form page. 2 - Edited a record 3 - Moved to another record with status bar nav arrow 4 - Verified my edit was in the underlying table 5 - Moved back to the original record, again using status bar nav arrow 6 - Clicked my "undo" control and the original data appeared in the form 7 - Moved to another record 8 - Verified my original data was now back in the underlying table
I've designed an Access Database (using Access 2003) and assigned user-level security to it such that some users are read only and some are full access. Everyone requires a login and password to access the database. The problem is, once I copy/paste the database from my computer to the shared drive (where it will be accessed by all the users) the prompt for a username and password disappears.
Hi can anyone help me. I need to create a form filter that will allow a user to enter an amount into a text box and then run the filter to match the amount entered. I have tried creating a macro that will execute this but it wont work. any ideas?
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'.
I have a report that has a link to open a a form "ProjectDetailsActive" to a specific record ID from the report. It works.
I have 3 subsets of users who have restricted access to the form "Project Details Active". By that I mean that when they open this form, it hides and rearranges some tabs, and disables certain controls. If a user from one of these 3 subsets tries to open the link to a specific record in the form, it does not work. The form opens to the first record available instead of the selected record. This is only a problem for these 3 user groups. For users who do not fall into these 3 groups, the filter works.
This is the only code in the form that does the restriction, but I don't know where the process is going wrong.
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() LoadBudgetPage CancelRsn.Enabled = False 'detect number of line items for current project Me.lblOrderCount.Caption = GetNumRecords & " line items for this project."
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.
