Forms :: Creating Different Filters For Scrolling?
Apr 3, 2015
The last two weeks I taught myself Access (and hurt quite a few braincells in the process) Yet I am getting close to what I want to achieve, but now I am stuck how to proceed with the following:
I want to have 'forms' view as my main interface for my records. This is working very nicely, and I like how I can scroll fast through all records with my mouse-wheel. I also need to be able to filter records that will be displayed and scrolled through this way, and I created a filter which I can now toggle on or off easily for this purpose.
But now my challenge is, I want to be able to quickly select different filters, so for example, show only forms with a certain date field content. Or filter only forms which have a certain check-box checked. Etc. etc. And later on probably a bit more advanced, like: display forms that both contain 'this' and 'that'.
But I can't find a way to create several different and selectable filters? So this should probably be achieved in quite a different manner?

I am creating a front end of a database that is the forms only version with ext. .accdr...I would like to create a way that each user of the front end can apply a filter using parameters, allowing the user to enter in their name when opening the front end.Form and Table name is "Non-Student Tasks Completed Daily" and "Student Connection Task" Field name is "SSC"..How can I get a box to appear when someone opens the database that askes them to enter their name to apply the filter?

I have been tasked to create a report menu for my users to select a report (there are about 20), select which filters that they want to apply to that report, then run based on what the user selected as the filters.
I have about 30 different filters to create, and based on which report the user selects, the filters that apply will need to be shown. I'm thinking the reports will be in an option group, and based on which report the users selects the filters that apply to that report will be displayed. From there the user can choose to apply a filter or not, and run the report.
I am trying to figure out the best way to tackle this. Should I try to create a table that contains the report name and type of filter to loop thru the controls to set visible, and build the SQL?

I've been playing around with trying to make a scrolling marquee on an access form and it works. How I could get it to change. Here's what I've got....
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
message = "my message"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Text0 = message
'Get first character
Dim FChar As String
FChar = Left(message, 1)
'Remove first character
message = Mid$(message, 2, Len(message) - 1)
'Put 1st character at the end of the message.
message = message + FChar
End Sub
and that works great. Now I'm trying to make it get the message value from a table so I change to this...
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
message = Text0.Value
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Text0 = message
[code]....
and set the control source for text0 to a field in a table. the problem is when I change the message in the table or add another record the marquee doesn't change unless I completely close and re-open the form. Is there a way to make it update without closing and restarting?

We have a system which calls a form from a hyperlink. The called form opens in Dialog mode (a box with a border which "Overlays" the screen). It has been working well until now when a new user has started using a computer with a smaller screen which can't display all of the dialog box (they don't have access to critical fields).
For now I have changed the mode of opening to normal which provides scroll bars but this only opens to the right of the navigation menu. Is there a way to set up scrolling within the dialog box.

I've developed an Access 2003 database (split) and so far so good. The main thing I'm not happy about is that I can't (or maybe don't know how) to implement a horizontal scroll bar with a line chart. I thought it would be a matter of selecting the option in a Graph but seems not. So I'm left with just selecting Top 50 records and plotting them.How could the MS Access team not know that people would want this or am I missing something? to get a scrollable line chart.

The main form has a drop down box for the user to find the client record he wishes to add new visit data in the client visit history subfile.
When the client is found, a history subfile is loaded which has all of the prior client visits.
The history in the subfile contains two pieces of data:
date of the visit mm/dd/yyyy
# members in clients' family NNNN
The subfile history is sorted from oldest date to most current date.
For the user to add a new visit for this client, he must scroll down to the last record in the subfile and then add the new visit for this client.
Is it possible to eliminate the need for he user to scroll down to add a new history record.
I tried to sort the history subfile in descending order of date, but that only resulted in having the old history data in the correct order, but the place to add a new visit still remained on the bottom. The user still had to scroll down to add the new visit.

I have set up 2 tables, and got the tables linked with a foreign key. These tables store street names and house numbers.Ideally I would like to enter a street name, and then number from and number to, ie: Main Street, from 1 to 30.Each house number will has 4 fields associated to it.
The desired result in a form will be to enter the street name, numbers from and to, and then a sub form open up showing a list of numbers covering the range entered with 4 "Yes/No" fields next to each house number.Some streets could go up to as most as 300 houses, but I would not want that number shown for every street when it is not necessary. only the relevant number according to what is entered.All data would need to be stored and then queries and reports run against it.I am using access 2007 on windows 7.

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.

I have a search form which suddenly stopped remembering filters between loads. I managed to accidentally replicate the behaviour on a second database where I knew the filters worked - in this case the code was
Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Filter = "(False)"
Me.FilterOn = True
End Sub
Turns out that simply commenting out then uncommenting this section (while the form was open) was enough to break it. Filtering still works, but the form's filter property is forgotten when it unloads, and the only way to change it permanently is in Design View.
So I made a very simple test db with a filtered form, started faffing around with the code while it was open, and lo and behold the filters have stopped working. But I've compared the functional and non-functional versions and I can't for the life of me see what's been changed. I suspect I've run into some kind of bug (not that I should be fiddling with code while in form view anyway) but what can I do to revert it?
It turns out that I can force the filter to be saved by hitting Ctrl+S before I exit the form. Still no clue as to why v1 mysteriously works and v2 mysteriously doesn't. In the meantime, can I replicate Ctrl+S in VBA? I tried DoCmd.Save acForm "FormName", but no luck there.

I am in the process of upgrading Access b/e to SQL b/e using .mdb and linked table as the front end ( as given as the best solution in many of the posts).
I remember reading in this forum ( Comment made by Pat Hartman) that forms should be based on queries rather than using a filter criteria.
I have a continuous form with project records. The user can double click one of the records to view further details of the project on a separate form. The code I have used to open the form is as follows:
strdocname = "frmProjDetails"
strParm = ""
strLinkCriteria = "[WProjNo]=" & "'" & Me![ProjNo] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm strdocname, , , , acFormEdit, , strParm
Would this be a reduction in performance? Should the record source of the details form be changed to a query that has a where clause pointing to the selected record?
Thanks...Priya

I have a form with 5 options in a group. This works fine when I only have 1 filter applied to each button. I need to select the "Not Collected" button and have it filter out and show "Collected = No" and "Deleted = No". Here is my code..Case 3 is the one I'm currently working on. I can get the others once I figure out the first one.
Private Sub Frame799_Click()
Select Case Frame799
Case 1
[Code].....

I'm having some issues using the cascading combo box technique on my form.
I have a form, which contains a subform in continuous view, which contains a few combo boxes.
One of those combo boxes (available resources) should be filtered depending on the value of 3 other combo boxes (task types, source languages, target languages).
What I would like to be able to do is run the filtering routine on this resources cbo (currently VBA code that changes the row source value) when the user clicks on it.
It's kind of working right now: when I click on the arrow to open up the drop down list, the values are indeed filtered. The problem I'm having though is that, if I then click on that same cbo for another record (or any other cbo in another record for that matter), the resource cbo of the record I previously set gets deleted.

I have a number of forms that are bound to recordsets as follows:
Dim rs As New adodb.Recordset
sqlQuery = "Select * from myTable"
rs.Open sqlQuery, sqlCNN, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
Set Me.Recordset = rs
Set rs = Nothing
In Access 2003, users could open these forms and filter on basically any field by using the right click-> Text Filters functionality.
In Access 2010, this functionality appears to work (users can apply the filter and the Toggle Filter button in the ribbon shows a filter is applied), but all of the records are still visible in the form.
Any work-around that does not involve redesigning the form to be non-recordset bound?

Here is the environment:
Currently, I have 10 Users running a front end form that connect to back end data where they add to current records and eventually check that the record is complete.
I also have an "Apply Filter" button on the right hand side of the form that allows the user to apply filters to the records to show specific data that is not complete.
I am currently hearing that while the user is working, whether they apply filter or not, it seems as though all of a sudden, all of their completed work dissapears from their recordset hence not allowing them to go back to make changes to it if needed. I can only conclude that when a different user clicks apply filter, all users are affect some how... here are some examples of the code for the filter:
Code:
Select Case [cboFilterValues] ' Where the user selects a filter parameter from a dropdown
Case "All Data"
strSQL = "SELECT * " & _
"FROM [Data Table] " & _
"WHERE [Complete] = No
Then it does:
Code:
Me.RecordSource = strSQL
I am basically trying to find a way where only the user wanting to view the filter is affected... FYI, the other users arent actually seeing all the filters from the other user filter choice, they simply loose all their completed work from their form.

In a form I have a button which creates (in preview) an outlook message with a pdf report. It opens and displays just as I want it to, but if I chose to save that message in outlook and either send or cancel (i.e. allowing user to save to drafts and send later) then MS Access crashes.To ensure this wasn't to do with any compile / corruption within my full application I mirrored the process in a very simple 1 table / 1 form / 1 report db and still the same - access crashes after saving the outlook message and either sending the message or cancelling out the message.
Form code is as follows;Private Sub Command0_Click()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "Table1", acFormatPDF, "someemaddress", , , , "REQUEST FOR INFORMATION"
DoEvents
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
In my main application this process is embedded within a loop to send various filters of the report to different recipients, which works fine if 'save' is not used within Outlook..

I am having an issue trying to show all records when I load my form. It loads correctly when I don't have a record source for the main form. However, the combobox filters will not work. My goal is to have users be able to use the datasheet, subdatasheet and combobox filters. I can get the form to work just fine when I link the Main form and subform, but when the form opens it is filtered on the first record. I have been successful with this approach when using other forms, but they didn't require a subdatasheet.
Is there anyway I can have the comboboxes to filter yet be able to show all records until the user selects filters? Is this possible?I finally got my Manager to agree to use a database instead of Excel files based on this form setup and I need to make as "user friendly" as possible (look and function like a spreadsheet) I attached some pics of the form along with the code for the filter.

Using Access 2010..I have form with a date on it. For this control I have show date picker set to "For dates" and lo and behold I get calendar! I can scroll through this calendar month by month. Great if I just want to go back or forward a month or three. What I'd like to be able to do is scroll through the calendar year by year. Can I do this with the method I'm using at the moment? If not is there a way round it that isn't over complicated?

I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!

Does anyone know why with some combo boxes, when I grab the scroll bar and haul it to the bottom of the records, after I let go of the mouse button, the scroll jumps back up to around the middle of the combo box? Then, I have to keep pulling it to the bottom several times before it finally gets to the last record.
Thanks

This is not an other post about disabling the mouse wheel in access application but an other issue that is starting to really bug me...
Some of my forms have a continuous subform, I can normally use the scroll wheel to go up and down the different record in the subform BUT i have noticed that if there is just a small amount of record in the subform (let's say three for example) when I scroll down the different records, they disapear in the detail header frame of the subform and only the last record is visible which I guess I don't mind to much. What annoys me is that if I scroll back up nothing happens the 2 records stay hidden behind the frame and the only way to put it back to normal is to use the scrolling bar on the right of the subform!???
I was wondering if anybody had a similar problem and if there is any solution to it?

In Access (2003) I was able to (by default?) scroll through records with the mouse scroll wheel. That no longer works. How can I have the form scroll backwords and forwards with the mouse wheel?
I've been reading threads and it sounds like MS "fixed" a feature that I was relying on heavily to move through records. I can't find a way to enable it again......

I'm using access 2000, and have built a long form. My users would like to be able to use their mouse wheel to scroll down the length of the form rather than having to click the scrollbar. is there a way to do this? (I'm sorry if I missed this being answered in another thread, I looked but did not find.)
Thanks
