Forms :: Can't Clear Filter Or Orderby Permanently On Form
May 14, 2013
I have a tabular form that is based on a select statement (Query) in the source property. It filters & sorts from this select statement. permanently
I have just added a
Me.Filter = "[Form1].[InDate] = #" & MyValue & "# "
Me.OrderBy = "Indate DESC"
This all works fine, filters & sorts on the existing results.However this new filter & sort seems to remain no matter what I do.I have used every variation one me.filter ="" with Me.FilterOn = True, False & every combination.
Me.Filter="" & Me.FilterOn = False does initially seem to clear the lsit to show all records but as soon as type anything that filters the Form on the original, existing underlying select statement the extra Filter Property & Sort properties are occupied with the last filter/sort.
I have manually deleted any remaining Filter Or Sort properties direct from design view, saved, compacted & saved again.Once I use the new me.filter it will always returned as soon an any filter on the form is applied.I definately am not setting it again anywhere. Is there something better than me.filter ="", seen clearallfilters mentioned but not sure if this would apply just to the current form but reluctant to use a blanket clear as I do have quite a lot of other things going on.
Not sure when but many months (If not years) ago my form source stopped being a query and started using the query (sql) direct from the source property.I have left it this way as not sure if any consequence of moving back but don't remember how or how it happened. What are the pros cons of using a separate query.
I am able to filter a data on a continuous form using drop downs and then the following code attached to a cmdbutton to create a report of the filtered data.
Code: Private Sub Command30_Click() Dim strWhere As String If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False If Me.FilterOn Then strWhere = Me.Filter DoCmd.OpenReport "rptconveyorerrors", acViewReport, , strWhere End Sub
On the same form where I filter the data i can sort it by clicking the headings aswell, however when i generate the report using the above VBA it doesn't take the sort with it and just generates it without the sort.
I am using the following VBA to sort my form
Code: Me.OrderByOn = True If Me.OrderBy = "[empname] DESC" Then Me.OrderBy = "[empname] ASC" Else Me.OrderBy = "[empname] DESC" End If Me.Refresh
I thought it may be possible to use the following sort of VBA to pass the sort however i cant get it to work:
Code: Private Sub Command30_Click() Dim strOrder As String Dim strWhere As String If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False If Me.FilterOn Then strWhere = Me.Filter If Me.OrderByOn Then strOrder=Me.OrderByOn
How do I clear a filter ? When I re-open a form that is based on a stored parameter query, I get a message about "apply/filter that cannot be applied..."
So, as a result, I put in some code for that command button that closes the form, then reopens it, and I get my prompt from the query. Isnt there a way to clear the filter without closing the form? It looks funny to me and I know the users will have a cow. I sure appreciate any ideas.Im digging around to see what I can do quickly, but I cant find anything that works. thanks a lot!
i have a form that shows payments (checks) that have been issued. sometimes those checks need to be voided and i want 2 fields (Updated By and Updated Date) to pop up when the payment distribution field is changed to a void status.
payment distribution: "I" for issued and "V" for void
i've gotten the On Change Event to work with VBA when the payment distribution changes from "I" to "V" and the 2 new fields pop up but if i exit the form and go back in to look at that record, the fields are gone. Is there a way to make the fields permanently if the payment is "V" on the form?
this is what i have so far for the On Change Event:
If [payment distribution] = "V" Then me.cmbo_UpdatedBy = True me.txt_UpdatedDate = True Else me.cmbo_UpdatedBy = False me.txt_UpdatedDate = False End If End Sub
I'm having trouble getting my form to be "blank" except for the labels upon loading. I've tried putting in some code "on load" but it doesn't clear everything. I haven't had this trouble on some of my other db's, the only difference here is it's a switchboard. I don't know if that matters.
I have a timesheet form that pulls from a query that pulls from a table I want to clear my daily charges and reset back to the default value of 0 when my form opens ...
I'm trying to have a form sorted in a particular order when it's opened.
When using the "order by" option in the properties sheet, it is sorted the way I want the first time I open the form.
However, if I change the order afterwards while using the form (for instance, by right clicking and selecting another sort order), well the next time the form is opened, it is sorted with this new sort order, and not the default one.
So I tried to add the following code :
Code: Private Sub Form_Open() Me.OrderBy "employee_name ASC" Me.OrderByOn = True End Sub
I have a search form that's slightly modified search form modeled after the one available here on this site. It's a main form with a list box. I use the listbox to narrow down the results I want from the search function.
The search details are shown in a sub form that contains sub-sub forms
As seen in the code below, I am using the listbox to set a filter on the subform . Works famously until I search for something that does not exist in the database. I then receive runtime error 3075.
I believe it's related to the way I'm showing the details in the subform (by enabling a filter). If there is no record in the database that match the search criteria, I don't want any error messages or pop-ups and preferably would like the listbox to be blank.
Attached a screenshot of my form. red = main form green = subform blue = sub-subforms tan = obscuring the search results
Code: Private Sub SearchFor_Change() Dim vSearchString As String vSearchString = SearchFor.Tex SrchText.Value = vSearchString Me.SearchResults.Requery
I have a subform within a form that displays filtered data based on dynamic selection criteria which is assigned to the RecordSource/OrderBy of the subform. On this form, I have a "Print Results" button -- OnClick, I would like the RecordSource/OrderBy of the subform to be copied to the Report, then run the report. What I have that doesn't work is:
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 enter entries into Access, and then they are deleted, for some reason the size of the Access Database doesn't reduce in size. I've only just noticed this as i accidently entered over 65000 entries in and then had to delete them now the database is twice it's usual size.
Can someone please tell me how to reduce the size of the database and explain why when you select delete record it doesn't actually delete the record.
How do I make the 'total rows' in query permanently visible? Right now, every single time when I click on to my query, I will have to go to HOME---> RECORDS ---> TOTALS then the Total row will appear. And when I export that query, the TOTAL ROW is missing. how to make the total rows visible always?
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.
I can understand with placing a filter on a form.I have a table that needs updating. I created a form based on the table, but would like to only see the records that need updating, instead of the entire table.
I have no SQL knowlegde. Is there some simple answer? I would like to filter on one field for the word "NO" ie seeing only the records which contain NO in that field.
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 am using my form to add job descriptions and if the user checks the check box for current, it adds the description to the table as the current job description. I need to clear the check box for the next entry but the box retains the choice so when the user selects another description, the form saves it as current even if the box shows no check in the box. I tried the code below, but that only changes the state of the box, but not the reality of the state of the box.
I am trying to get the OrderBy to recognize wildcards (or to that effect). A scenario would be I would have more than one name in a field, EX: Name2, 4, 6. How do I use wildcards in the OrderBy and they are recognized.
ORDER BY (Table.Field)="Name1", (Table.Field)="Name2", (Table.Field)="Name3", (Table.Field)="Name4", (Table.Field)="Name5", (Table.Field)="Name6", (Table.Field)="Name7", (Table.Field)="Name8";
