I have a list box which gets it's data from a query. I would like to filter this query to show only those rows matching a value displayed on the form.
The form displays data from a table and has a text box named PIDLocal.
The query returns a list of PID values and some text SELECT PID, Country, RefCode FROM Query1 The PIDs are integers.
I want the list box to contain only those rows where PID = PIDLocal.
I have tried setting the criteria in the row source query to PID = [Forms]![Show_Details]![PIDLocal], but nothing is returned. If I 'hard-code' a value (eg PID=247) I get the desired result.
I have a combo box on a form which has a row source type of Value List in which I've manually typed in 2 entries: Owned, Leased.
I have a query which filters on the results of the combobox, and works fine for when I select either option Owned or Leased.
Is there an easy way to filter all (both Owned & Leased)? I've tried leaving the combobox blank, and tried entering a * in the value list, but they both return no results.
Code:
SELECT Assets.* FROM Assets WHERE (((Assets.Possession)=[Forms]![Home]![Combo56]));
I currently have a form that only shows data based on a specific record id. I have placed a list into that form though that has multiple record ID's listed ( It's a log). How do I get a List to Filter to just the Record ID that corresponds to the current form Record.
What I have are as follows:
A form that has client information : Address, phone numbers, Etc.
On that form I have Pages. one of the pages contains a List.
That List however contains information from multiple clients based on Point of Contact ( Call Log)
What I want is a way to narrow the List to only show those that corresponds to the Current Client Record.
Is this possible? If my approach is wrong, which is a better way?
I have three linked tables [Regulator], [RuleBook] and [Rules] (each has a corresponding form for data entry).
In the "Rules" form, when you select name of the regulator, the rule books dropdown down is filtered to show only the rulebooks for that regulator. the code I use is:
Private Sub Regulator_Change() Me.[Rule Book].RowSource = "SELECT [ID],[Rule Book],[Short Code],[Regulator],[RegName],[Short Form],[Active] FROM" & _ " [RuleBook] WHERE Regulator = " & _ Me.Regulator Me.[ShortReg] = Me.Regulator.Column(3) End Sub
Basically, if I select the FSA as the regulator, The Rule Books drop down is filtered to only show the FSA Rule Books. If I pick OFT, I get the OFT list etc. This all works fine.
In the [RuleBook] table, each entry has a yes/no tick box called "Active".
The reason for this being that the regulators change their rule books quite regularly, but from an audit perspective, I can't delete or overwrite the old ones once they are no longer valid.
What I want to do, is further filter the rule book list to those where Active=True so that when I select FSA, I can only choose from their current rule books and not the ones that are no longer relevant.
I am using this code to filter a List Box based on a Date range and a Combo Box selection:
Code: Private Sub Combo139_AfterUpdate() Dim StrgSQL As String StrgSQL = "SELECT [User Name], [Date Of Request], [Description of Problem], Status, Sub_Job FROM QRY_SearchAll " & _ "WHERE [Date of request] BETWEEN #" & CDate(Me.txtStartDate) & _ "# AND #" & CDate(Me.txtEndDate) & "#;" StrgSQL = StrgSQL & " WHERE Sub_Job = Combo139" Me.SearchResults.RowSource = StrgSQL Me.SearchResults.Requery End Sub
However, It is not working. when I click the Combo box the List Box comes up blank.
I've finally figured out how to populate my list box with radio buttons (3 companys listed on the radio buttons, you click one and employees for that particular company populates the list box). Now I'm trying to figure out how to click on an employee in that box and have their contact information populate the subform that holds that info.
After trying unsuccesfully with VB, I considered using a macro that would open the subform where the Last Name = the Last Name clicked in the list box, but I couldn't figure that out (couldn't figure out what the name would be for the selection in the list box) but I would prefer the subform be there permanantly in "add" mode untill a selection is made in the list box.
I'm code ignorant and rely on google and what books I have for reference / copy-past.....any ideas?

I use the call back function to generate my list of reports in a list box.
I chose to use this method as it seems like an easy way to do what I want, and to a certain extent understand how it works.
What I would really like to be able to do, is have it filter the list of reports.
For example, some reports are for me working behind the scenes, and also so many are subreports that go in to the main report so dont need listing.
I would like to have a report names 'Clients Full Report', 'Clients Medication Report' etc on the list (I dont mind changing report names as I think that will be the key to making it work) So many of my sub reports have client in its name, so if a report could be named '1Clients Main Report' and the code looks for the number 1 and removes the 1 from the list so it displays Clients Main Report on the list.
So its just a way to make the list box only include specific reports based on a number.
Hi, I need help on my search command. I am hoping to be able to use a combo box or a list box coming from a table as my criteria to use to filter records from a form and present it a subform/subreport upon clicking the command button. Ideally I should have a form wherein I will have a either a combo box or list box for my criteria, a subform/subreport, and a command button. When I select a particular item on the combo box or list box and I click the command button, the subform/subreport would show me records matching only the particular criteria I selected.
I tried using several approach but it's not working, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help me, I am just learning how to do this all by myself.
First Approach: I tried using a list box to list all the countries I have available from the country table and a command button so when I select a country from the list box and click on the command button I will be able to show on a datasheet view only records matching the country criteria. This is the code I used: __________________________________________________ _______________ Private Sub Preview_Click()
End Sub __________________________________________________ _______________ But everytime I click on the command button Preview, I am always asked to enter parmeter value then when I type the country that's when it shows the record in forms format matching the criteria country but when I dont type anything and click ok, it just shows a blank form and indicates it's filtered but no record is showing. But I click cancel, it shows a Run-time error '2501'. why does it still have to make me type the parameter if I have selected it on the list box already?
Second Approach: On the form: I used a combo box, a subform/subreport and a command button. On the combo box I have to show different countries available on my country table. on the subform/subreport I have used my a form created from a query. I want to select from the combo box a particular country and used it as my criteria to filter the records I have on my subform when I click on the search command button. I tried following the sample given by gromit but it doesn't want to work on my database.
This is the code I followed: __________________________________________________ _______________ Private Sub btnClear_Click() Dim intIndex As Integer Me.cmbCountry = 0
End Sub
Private Sub btnsearch_Click() Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM qrybycountry" & BuildFilter
Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Requery
End Sub
Private Function BuildFilter() As Variant Dim varWhere As Variant
varWhere = Null ' Main filter
'Check if there is a filter to return... If IsNull(varWhere) Then varWhere = "" Else varWhere = "WHERE " & varWhere
' strip off last "AND" in the filter If Right(varWhere, 5) = " AND " Then varWhere = Left(varWhere, Len(varWhere) - 5) End If End If
BuildFilter = varWhere
End Function __________________________________________________ _______________ After selecting on the combo box and click on the command button it just shows all record. It doesn't seem like it is reading what I selected from the combo box as my criteria to filter the records. What could be I be doing wrong? Honestly, I dont understand what is happening to the code here especially the BuildFilter function.
Please help me, I would really want to figure this problem out. Thank you so much.
I am using a form in which i am filtering the results in the list box based on the textbox value. I am dynamically switching 3 row sources for the list box.
My Need is that the results produced in the listbox should get filtered again when typing in the second text box i.e based o the country name.
My database is centered on a main form where users select pieces of information from ComboBoxes (primarily) and submit.
The first part of the form, they must choose from a list of our clients, which is a table with with roughly 5000 rows.
Later on in the form, they must choose a contact person from that client. While Client's may have several contact names (which need to be stored in a table), only one name is necessary for the form portion.
How can I make this Contact Person ComboBox only load names attached to the specific Client selected above?
As it stands right now, the Client List has its own table (along with additional information), and Contact Name is a separate Table with a look up field of Client List.
I would like to be able to apply more than one filter to a subform. It seems no matter how I try I can only have one filter affecting the records in my subform. I have had zero luck getting the child / master link on the form to return a satisfactory result in the subform as soon as i try to apply a second master / child filter. It seems the filters I'm trying to apply aren't 'stacking' and I seem to be getting either one or the other judging from the reports that are being listed in my sub form.
My data table consists of a few details concerning offices. Namely what Region the office is in, how many staff at particular grades, the office location / address contact details, and wether or not they reside in a 'strategic zone'. I've used check boxes on my data table to indicate wether an office is inside a strategic zone or outside a strategic zone.
My combo box is currently working great, it filters out all the records and only shows the offices that match the value in the 'Region' field in the subform. I just can't figure out how to get additional filters to work at the same time.
Ideally I would like to have the combo box which is working great, then a couple more conditions that the user can select to apply additional filter, especially the 'inside strategic zone' check box and the 'outside strategic zone' check box. I would also dearly like to have another combo box that will let users select 'Clusters' that an office may belong to and filter out those records that don't match.
I can use the right click on a field in my form and 'apply filter by selection' and of course that works great! Filtering all the way down until I'm left with a very short list that matches the same value of many filtered fields I've right clicked upon. But ewwww...that is not what anyone wants to have to rely on to give them data on the screen that conforms with the filter criteria they wish to apply.
Secondly, (sorry almost done!) how can I show the number of records that have a particular Yes/No check box ticked. Was thinking along the lines of having a couple of text boxes that count all the 'inside strategic zone' check boxes that are ticked and the same for 'outside strategic zone' How can I do this?
As I'm sure you will have picked up on, I am just setting out on my Access Database Learning curve, I have very limited experience but I am hoping to develop my own skills over the next few years. I have been humbled by the knowledge of the patrons here and warmed by the goodwill shown to helping the novices like myself who come here asking for your assistance.
I've asked this question before, but no one's answered it yet. How do I create a form where I can enter many records for projects (from tblProjects) and associated workstreams (from tblWorkstreams), so that I can select a project from a combo and then pick a workstream from a filtered list?
With help from Colm, I've been able to set up the combo's and get the filter to work, but unfortunately, the Project combo (cboProjectSelect) filters the cboWorkstreamSelect for ALL records! This means that only one project can be selected for ALL records.
The way it's been set up so far, is there is a query which lists Workstream, WorkstreamID and ProjectID, and the criteria for ProjectID in that query is: [forms]![frmTshtEntry]![frmTshtProj]![cboProjectSelect]. The cboWorkstreamSelect combo is then based on this query.
I am really stuck on this, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a form that is bound to Table1 and I am using the value from a Combo box to filter the records. The Combo Box is populated with values from a different table.
The SetFilter macro is triggered using the AfterUpdate event. When the macro fires, Access asks for a parameter, so I know it's not getting what it needs to complete the macro action. When I provide a value, the macro works fine and returns the appropriate subset of records. I think the problem might be in the WHERE clause of the SetFilter statement; here is what I have.
[ComboBox value on Form]=[Table1]![Field]
Could it possibly be anything to do with using a different table to source the Combo box?
I'm new to Access and am having trouble designing a database that houses application details.
All applications have a list of unique wrap id's but have different tables housing different details for these wraps.
I have a main table which is for data entry and lets me input whether or not a piece of software is Vista compatible (yes/no) etc.
I also have a field in this table showing which analyst is responsible for researching compatiblity of an application.
I have another table with different regions i.e. london, manchester etc that has the region/city listed as the field heading and then contains a list of wraps used in that city under the relevant field.
My main entry form is linked to the main data entry table that holds specifics for an app, name, vista compatible etc. This form is used for data entry. I want to add a subform on this form which shows a list of all applications, in table format, but I want a drop down list so I can select an analyst name / region so that analysts can update details for a specific area assigned to them. In the table I want all of the records based on this criteria to be displayed.
I guess I need to make a filter button on my subform but do not know how to do this. I put in a button control for apply filter by form but then dont know what to do.
I'm new to access and don't know much VB - e.g. the only thing I can do in VB is a make a message box that says hello world on the screen.
Any help is sincerely appreciated. Apologies for the Essay.
I 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.
In my subform, I have a field named Container Type (I know you don't need to tell me about Reserve names for Access, but I can't change the names) where when you choose one of the values (a combo box), the values for a second field (Container Code) changes (another combo box) based on the first selection. Then, based on the selection from the second field five other fields are automatically filled in.
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 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).
I have a form with two fields in the header meant for filtering the form data - SelectAtty and SelectClient. The query under the form is restricted based on the values selected. I also have a "button" that if clicked should filter the records (probably unnecessary but I thought it would be clearer for the user). I'm seeing two issues. Sometimes when I select a value - it doesn't appear to apply it to the query at all. When I add msgbox statements to try to see what is happening, the problem goes away (weird right). Also I run into a "no current record" error when it requeries. Mostly this seems to happen when I have two events that fire in a row and both requery. The event procedures are below and you can see where I put my debugging msgbox statements.
1. No current record fires consistently on the filter image click and (I think) always when it requeries twice (like I changed the value and then clicked on the filter).
2. The fact that sometimes the selections are picked up in the query and sometimes aren't I have no good pattern for other than msgboxes seem to actually fix it - as if it forces access to look at the values and they they show up.
Private Sub FilterImage_Click() MsgBox "filter: " & Form.CurrentRecord MsgBox Form.RecordSource
I have a form that filter records off of combo, I want the user to run reports based off of the filter selected in the combo box.Here's the code I've been toying around with:
Code:
Private Sub ReQuote_Click() Dim strCustomer As String Dim Filter As String If IsNull(Me![cboFilter]) Then Exit Sub
[code]....
I ripped it off of another thread on here but my needs are slightly different so I couldn't quite get it to do what I wanted.
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'm using ms access 2013.i have a project where i need to create a touch screen jukebox.my problem is that i have a textbox and a list box.the list box has all my track and i'm filtering from the textbox.when i use my keyboard the filter works fine from the textbox.but when using the touch screen buttons even though letters appear on my textbox, the filter does not work.how to make my textbox filter work from the on screen touch buttons?
The main form has fields for Record ID, Position, and Revision. The subform has fields for ID, Position, and Revision. There is also a field for "task". I have over 15 positions and 495 tasks. Each position has a set number (around 15 or so) tasks associated with that position.
I have the Position in the main form and the subform linked so when I select a position on the main form, the subform loads the same position. The question field (drop down) is "fed" from a query which contains all positions and all tasks. What I want the subform to do is when I select a position the drop down ONLY displays the tasks associated with that position.
I tried using an event procedure "On Click" and "After Update" to no avail. The embedded macro was:
Apply Filter Where condition= [tbl_Detail Cost Information]![Position]=[qry_attempt 1]![Position].
I also tried the reverse Where condition =[qry_attempt 1]![Position]=[tbl_Detail Cost Information]![Position]
The result is a fully loaded (all tasks) drop down.
