I can create a dropdown list to filter my form (text) however im struggling to get back to showing all the data prior to my drop down selection.
ive tried refreshing and requerying with no success.
I would either like to get a drop down with the addition of "all records" in it or a refresh button.
the form that this is on is a sub form.
I could reference the drop down to a number if required.
Additionally: When I have selected my choice from the drop down box it blacks out "selects all". Is there away of making the list just select and lose focus so to speak.
filter reports by specific date types in a drop down or combo box I would like the dates to be
Today Tomorrow The next 3 days and the next 7 days
i don't want a date picker or between dates I have tried searching but cannot seem to find an answer They are for my engineers, they want to know what callouts they have today or tomorrow or the next 3 days or this week.
There are 3 drop down button that should filter category of items in a database:
Category 1 Category 2 Category 3
Whatever users choose in category 1, it will filter the items in Category 2. whatever users choose in category 2, it will filter the items in category 3. users can choose 1 to 2 categories or sometimes the 3 categories. the items will show in a subform. the subform are getting the items from a query. the dropdown button gets its value from a Table.
My challenge is that, i want to get the number of items in Category 1 once users chose it. if they choose something in Category 2 the number of items will change also. there will be 3 textbox for Category 1 COUNT, Category 2 COUNT, and Category 3 COUNT.
as of now, what im getting is only the filtering of Category 1 and Category 1 COUNT.
I am using Access 2010 and the web database so having a bit of an issue. I have tried google but no luck really - seems complex and confusing.
Basically I have a table which has column 1 of the unique id and column 2 is the project name.
When you click the drop down on the form, I want it to show column 2 (the project name) and when you click this, on the form I want it to find that record.
I have a fairly large table with approx 15k records. I have a form where I have a drop down/select control box that displays all of these records showing a few of the fields. I select one of these records to create a new record as it places one of the fields into the new record. The problem is that there are so many records that it takes a lot of scrolling to get through all the records.
Once I scroll through all the records, the next time I scroll, it is very fast and shows all the records in one scrolling. However, when I get off the form and then go back it starts over with all the records having to scroll through etc.. What I want to be able to do is have all these records loaded so that they can be scrolled through quickly the first time I open up the form.
Both have the same source list but I would like the ref 1 list to exclude ref 2 and the ref 2 list to exclude ref 1 but I am struggling when either value is Null gives me no list.
Ref 1 row source
SELECT [Reference Probes].Ref, IIf([Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 2]=Null,([Reference Probes].[Ref]) Is Not Null,[Reference Probes].[Ref]) AS Expr1 FROM [Reference Probes] WHERE (((IIf([Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 2]=Null,([Reference Probes].[Ref]) Is Not Null,[Reference Probes].[Ref]))<>[Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 2]));
Ref 2 row source
SELECT [Reference Probes].Ref FROM [Reference Probes] WHERE ((IIf([Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 1]=Null,([Reference Probes].Ref) Is Not Null,[Reference Probes].[Ref])<>[Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 1]));
Ref 1 after update has Me.Ref_2.Requery Ref 2 after update has Me.Ref_1.Requery
As you can see I have tried two different ways but both don't work.
Made some tables with data, then wanted to filter it by form with comboboxes approx 10 of them, so started to write a simple query but it doesn't really work. Then I found this forum and when started to review some threads, noticed that some (most) of you write a query in vba under a button with on_click function.
The question is, what is the correct way of writing a query? Is is a vba code under a button, or is it a code in the actual query?
I have added a listbox inside my form that needs to filter records based on a field in the databases. For example if I have a record that has the field filled in with a text "reports", then it should only show those record that are on the second listbox. I have duplicated Outlook as an access database where I store all the old emails. The first listbox is called "FolderNames" where it shows all the folders names that are in the column called "FolderNames". The second Listbox is called "Subject" and shows all the subjects from the colun called "Subject".So when I select from the first listbox "Reports", then all the records that have the field filled in with "Reports" should show up in the second listbox.
I have an unbound form with a combo box and a bound subform on it.
I am using the combo box to get a value to filter (and display) records in the subform.
My code is:
Private Sub cboSessions_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo cboSessions_AfterUpdate_Err Me.SSubform.Visible = True 'subform was initially invisible Me.SSubform.Form.FilterOn = True Me.SSubform.Form.Filter = "[LinkID]=" & Me.cboSessions Me.SSubform.Form.Requery cboSessions_AfterUpdate_Exit: Exit Sub cboSessions_AfterUpdate_Err: MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, "PROGRAM ERROR" Resume cboSessions_AfterUpdate_Exit End Sub
The subform is initially invisible to stop it showing all records.
This works fine AFTER the first selection(!) - the first Update of the Combo Box just doesn't filter the subform??
I have tried putting code in the main form's On Load Event - allocating a value to the Combo Box and running cboSessions_AfterUpdate but that does not work either.
I am self thought and fairly new to access (quite fun )
It is a simple setup: I have a main form called "customer_information_display_form" within that form is a sub-form called "customer_information_form" in addition there is one combo box drop down menu
I would like to filter the information presented in the sub-form by company name located in the drop down menu.
I have a summary form with the company name,week number, week-ending automatically populated. e.g. this week is week 4 and users enter records for week 4 as the week number is automatically generated. Basically the system will just recognise today's date and generate the week number. Problem is I am trying to display previous week records and I do not know how to filter it as my week number is generated automatically, week by week. All the other forms are linked to this week number. How can I display records for a specific week that I want? say, I want to display all records for week2, etc. I am dumbfounded as I am on a learning curve with Access.
I have two text boxes and I'm wondering how I can filter my records of my table (through my query), between two numbers on my form. So for example lets call the two text boxes Num1 and Num2, the logical process is:
Code: IF Num1 or Num2 IS empty THEN filter records with "*" ELSE IF Num1 and Num2 contain a number THEN filter records between those two numbers
SQL, Me.Filter, BETWEEN in criteria. How I can accomplish this.
I have created a form for a table which contains ~600 movies and their name, genre, rating, director, year it was made, and length (min).I need to be able to enter numbers into the two Year boxes, and then it filters the movies in my database and only shows me records from between those two years. The years in my database are just in one column in the format of: XXXX e.g. 1996 etc..I've tried the code:
Code:
Private Sub Year2_AfterUpdate() Me.Filter = "[Year] BETWEEN" & Me.Year1 & "AND" & Me.Year2 Me.Filteron = True Debug.Print "[Year] BETWEEN" & Me.Year1 & "AND" & Me.Year2 End Sub
Year1 and Year2 are the boxes Year: and To: respectively. [Year] just being the column name which contains all my years.When I try to run my query it shows me my records, but it shows me all of them! It doesn't filter it at all!
I have a main form with 3 subforms. Each subform is identical except for the value of the filter property. The filter is for the same field, but with a different value for each subform. So, for example, the first subform has a filter of:
Code: [WBS Element]="DEF" And [Period]=Forms!frm_ProjectFinancials!Period
while the second subform has a filter of:
Code: [WBS Element]="PPE" And [Period]=Forms!frm_ProjectFinancials!Period
and the third subform has a filter of:
Code: [WBS Element]="EXP" And [Period]=Forms!frm_ProjectFinancials!Period
The recordset for each subform results in a single record with numeric values in each field or no records at all. When the resulting recordset is empty (no records), the bound text fields on the subform display as blank. I want these fields to display 0 instead of blank so I can use them in other calculated fields. Functions such as Nz or IsNumeric do not work since there are no records and the values are neither null nor numeric.
How I can display zeroes in the bound fields when no records exist that meet the filter criteria? Or is there a way that I can dummy a resulting recordset to have all zero values when there would otherwise be no records?
I have been building a database for use in a charity shop and am struggling with an issue regarding one of the forms.
I currently have a form which displays all expenses from the shop. I have added a combo box to the top of this form which allows users to filter records based on an expense ID Code. It all works fine but I would like to be able to add a start date and end date box to the form also so that records can be shown between two dates.
I have tried adding parameter boxes to the query which runs the form (which works) but the issue I am having is that when a new id is selected from the combo box the parameter boxes pop up again asking me for start date and end date again. This happens every time a new combo box id is selected.
I think the way resolve this issue may be to add a start date and end date box to the form but I don't know how to implement this.
Please see the attached files for images of what I currently have. The forum won't let me post images directly here until I have 10 posts so I have had to attach the files instead.:

I have created a piece of code that filters a sub form of diary records using criteria the user has selected or entered. It was working fine when I made it a month or so ago and now is seems to be returning incorrectly filtered records, for example, I enter 2 dates to return all diary entries between the 2 dates. Yet it misses some records out that should be within the date range, and it sometimes include records that are outside the date range. I am also getting an error when I try and filter the diary entries via the supplier, "data type mismatch", here's the code that, bearing in mind, was previously working fine.
Code: Public Function filter_diary() Dim dbs As Database 'Dim qdf As QueryDef Dim Sqlstr As String Dim sqlstrwhat As String
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.
The recordsource is a query with over 6,000 records. The form currently lists the records in datasheet format with header and footer for things like buttons and filtering. The client wants to be able to go from page to page of the souce query, showing 100 records on the form at a time.
But at the same time, they should be able to filter or sort the data source in it's entirety. The person who created the form came up with what seems like an awful solution to the problem. It seems to use a random number generator to determine how many records to portray at a time. I see this in the code as well as in operation, because the number of records on page to page varies. It doesn't even start out at 100! Worse yet, using a sort on the page only sorts the records that are visible.
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.
If i have a drop down list containing employee type names e.g. Plumber plasterer bricklayer from the employee type table. How would i select the bricklayer and bring back records associated with the selected employee type . I have done a query to go and get the records for the employee type and it works for one employee type.
But I cannot get the button to go and get the records when i select different employee types from the drop down list. I could add loads of buttons with the same query and change the employee type but looks a bit crowded and untidy. Am i missing something simple or is it just complicated.
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
I have a form that is showing data from 1 table. That table has 12 different fields on it and I want to be able to filter based on selections I make in a combo box in the header of the form. The filter string must be dynamic enough to allow filtering based on 1 criteria selected, or multiple criteria selected. For example:
If I have values in filter fields 3, 5, and 9 I'd want the filter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field3 = field3filter.value AND field5 = field5filter.value AND field9 = field9filter.value"
If I have values in only field 7, I'd want th efilter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field7 = field7filter.value"
And so on and so on.
I have created some filters before but all of the different VBA syntaxes I'm using seem to come up short.
I am using MS Acess2000 and need to make a report that will be passed around with production work. My primary key is the invoice number of the work order. Currently to open an invoice i have a macro, attached to a query with the following qualifiers; Like [Enter invoice]
This pulls up the current record fine. for the form and flags the folloing in the property filter sectin of the form
(((([CustomerTableMasterRef].[Invoice]) Like [Enter invoice])))
PART 2
Now I am trying to use microsofts how to filter a report using a forms filter... This picks up on the Invoice query as shown above but does not just insert the query results...
Is there better code or another way to approach this... Currently i am using:
Name:cmdOpenReport Caption: Open Report OnClick: [Event Procedure]
Private Sub CmdOpenReport_Click() If Me.Filter = "" Then MsgBox "Open an Invoice First" Else DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomers", acViewPreview, , Me.Filter End If End Sub
Using this code not only does my report not detect the correct fields to import data (no data is filled in) but it requerys the invoice or atleast should, which I could do with out all of that code...
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.
