Forms :: How To Correctly Filter Records
Sep 10, 2014
currently using 2010 version.
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 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
[code]....

I have been having issues with a subform on the attached database - for some reason it is not always updating to show corresponding records.
What I am planning, this is effectively going to be an interactive learning portal which can test users as well. There will be learning material (not yet included) and a bank of questions with corresponding multiple-choice answers, only one of which is correct. Each time the main form is loaded (Cat1MainForm) it randomly selects and orders questions, then, via a sub-form, returns three potential answers. There will then be radio buttons with which the users can answer appropriately.
If you load up Cat1MainForm and scroll through various questions you will see that sometimes the answers appear, other times not. Sometimes on one record the answers are there, you navigate away and back, and they have disappeared, and vice-versa.

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.

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 am using Access 2010, Windows 7
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 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 need to create a form and report. I created a Form now (i want to Report too.) but i saw, some field records are repeating themself.
I give an example :
ID Group Project Name Maintainers
1 A X-File Top-Secret Saruman
1 B X-File Top-Secret Gandalf
1 C X-File Top-Secret Radagast
On my report or form i want to see only :
ID: "1"
Group: "A" , "B" , "C"
Project: "X-File"
Name: "Top Secret"
Maintainers: "Saruman" , "Gandalf" , "Radagast"
Is that possible to filter records like that ? and How ?

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.:
Query running the form - Attachment 1
The Form itself - Attachment 2
Combo Box - Attachment 3
Bound Column on combo box - Attachment 4

Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a simlpe database that is use to store time worked for clients (see attached).
If you run the form frmClientEntry i have two issues.
1 - you will see that the title is automatically selected from the combo box. However is i try and enter the form I'm told 'You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'tblTitle'. If I select one of the entries I get rid of this. I would like the default to be selected...
2 - There is no entry in the hourly rate column field even though there is an entry in the table. How do I get my hourly rate to show? Ideally this will only be a single text box and not a comboBox as the hourly rate will be the same for every client.
If this is a table design issue please let me know and I'll post there.
Thanks

Hello all. Hope I describe my problem correctly. :D
I have a near complete database with forms linking to tables. Tables have relationships with keys set to ref. integrity/cascade records.
Here is the problem -
My forms are meant for people to input data into these tables. However, I do not want them to change those keys.
Problem 1) If I set primary/foreign keys to "autonumber" I cannot get the relationships to recognize ref. integrity and the records will not cascade, and will not update.
Problem 2) If I set primary/foreign keys to "double integer" then if someone enters a new record into the forms, it is recorded as "zero" when it should be updating in numerical order (I have 479 records in the database, so the next new record should be 480).
Problem 3) If I change it any other way - from double integer or auto number, the tables do not update at all, or do not update correctly.
What is going on here? I thought creating forms was a fairly simple task - create the form, it is related to the table, update the form, it updates the table. I mean, duh. :confused:
Thanks anyone for your help, because Microsoft's site sux.

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.

I have a continuous form that is using a select query to populate all of the bound controls. The drop downs and text boxes are displaying the values from the correct places. But, the form is not updating in the places I expected.
The select query that is being used to populate, combines information from 3 tables.'TimeEntries' table (the one that I want records to be updated in). This holds employee ID, and numeric values for Project Name and Project Task.
'ProjectInfo' table (nothing should be updated here). This table holds other details about the project (ex. Project Name) that is used to populate a combo box.
'ProjectTasks' table (nothing should be updated here either). This table holds details about project task (ex. Task Description) that is used to populate a combo box.
The issue I am having is that when records are updated on the form, they are adding records to all 3 tables that are a part of the query, instead of just updating the time entries table.
Record Source (form) = Select Query "EmployeeTimeEntry"

I am using Access 2007 with Windows XP. I have a scatter chart embedded in a form that is plotting data from a subform with a trendline that is extracted and used on the form for calculations. After having the table set up correctly and running fine, I closed the database and then reopened it to have the table plotting the data in a made up 1 to 1 relationship rather than what is in the datasheet. The only way I have been able to fix this error is to change the chart type to something else then back to a scatter plot and remake the trendline. Why this is happening and how to prevent it?

I have a form based on tblContact with a subform based on table tblCategories, and another subform based on tblCompany. I have a one-to-many relationship between tblCategories and tblCompany, with the pk in tblCategory linking with a fk in tblCompany. All of the fields in tblCategories/ sbfrm Categories are yes/no fields, not sure if that plays into my problem at all.
When a user checks one or more of the check boxes in the categories subform, closes the form and re-opens it, none of the check boxes are checked for that person. I know this has something to do with the relationships and how the categories are linked to the contact... but I can't get it straight in my mind as to how that should be set up.

I have a form "FrmMaintenance" based on the query "QryMaintenance" that is taken information from the table "TblMaintenance".
In the form, I have to pull the serial number of a machine from a drop down list which works perfectly fine in the form and it also updates other associated records.
When I go to the table, it puts associated number instead of the serial number that I've pulled.
Same thing happening for the pull down list "Engineer".
I've tried to look at the format of the "SerialNo" and changed to text, then to Combo Box but it didn't work, and the same for "Engineer"

when i select rows in a ListBox control on a form, using access VBA, some rows behave exactly the opposite of how they're supposed to behave-- they APPEAR unselected when i select them, and selected when i unselect them.
Code:
oListBox.Selected(lngRow) = True
However, when i check their Selected property with VBA they return the expected value (meaning the row Selected value is TRUE if i set it to TRUE, if tho it LOOKS UNselected).
Code:
Print oListBox.Selected(lngRow)
->True
Access ListBox Control Under VBA Control Behaving Wacko - YouTube.It seems that the more times i requery the listbox, the worse the problem gets.
Code:
oListBox.Requery
This problem seems unrelated to the number of times i select rows. Only seems related to multiple requeries. At first, it does not happen. Then with repeated requeries, the problem gets progressively worse. Note, 'Row Source Type' is set to 'Table/Query'. 'Multiselect' is set to 'Simple'.
i'm not using the "Form_" syntax anyplace (which can created unintended instances of forms). this listbox source-query contains a VBA function in a module, which in turn calls the code-behind of another form.

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
Clean filter button, on click code:
[SEARCH_BAR] = ""
Call [Search button]_click
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'"
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...
Where should i go from here?
