General :: Setting Filter With VBA?
Aug 19, 2014
I'm trying to set a filter with a command button. I've tried to do it like the examples I've read on numerous sites, but I can't seem to get the filter set. The code that seems most like the examples to me is:
Me.Filter = "[chkPaid] = 0"
Me.FilterOn = True
When I run this I get a box telling me to enter a parameter value for chkPaid. chkPaid is definitely the correct name for the checkbox control on the form. I've tried many variations with and without the square brackets, but as long as I have [chkPaid] inside of quotes I get the Enter Parameter box. If I leave the quotes off I get no parameter value request, but it doesn't set the filter either.

I am trying to set a filter on a form with VBA using variables and having no success at all. The code I tried last, which seemed to be "close, but no cigar", was:
Code:
Dim sFilterValue As String
Me.FilterOn = False
sBiller = Me.txtbiller.Value
sLastSource = Me.txtbiller.ControlSource
sLastSource = "[" & sLastSource & "]"
sFilterValue = sLastSource & "=" & sBiller
Me.Filter = sFilterValue
Me.FilterOn = True
sLastSource and sBiller are global variables. When I debug this code the sFilterValue is exactly what I would plug in manually and the Me.Filter shows up as "[Field Name] = Filter Value". But it crashes on Me.Filter = sFilterValue. I have tried all sorts of combinations but nothing I've tried works. What is the proper syntax for using variables as filters?

I am currently working on a Database to automatize some process.
The User can import a CSV (Text) File via a DialogBox, which gets imported into a Table. After this, the content has to be filtered, setting conditions on 4 different rows. The new Table gets exported into a new CSV (It has to be CSV, since it later gets imported into SAP)
How can I set a Filter on a dynamically created Table (using VBA)?
Best case would be to save the filter into my Import spec, but Access doesn't seem to have this option (?)

I have a report which is opened using a DoCmd.OpenReport. There's a criteria string which filters the main report - this works fine.
There's now a requirement to place a summary subform at the beginning of the report, in the report header. I need that summary to use the same criteria string as the main report.
For the main report's OnLoad I put : Me!Expenditure_By_Type_Subreport.Report.Filter = Me.Filter
But I get the error message:
Error 2101. The setting you entered isn't valid for this property.
I tried it the other way round as well - in the OnOpen of the subreport I tried : Me.Filter = Me.Parent.Filter
And it gives the same error.
When I just a manual Filter change such as : Me.Filter = "Project_ID Is Not Null"

I'm working on a form that when opened has a pop up filter that asks you to enter "1, 2, 3, 4 or 5". These numbers have to be equal to an actual word within the form. For example, on the form we have a box called "business unit". One of the options in "business unit" is "Human Resources".
I want to set 1 = to Human Resources so that way in the filter box all a person has to type is 1, and all of HR's records will pop up. The reason for this is we are trying to eliminate typing as much as possible.

I have a report, on a control tab, on a main form.
On the form are two buttons: one to show all items, and one to filter them based on a boolean field called showitem.
The buttons work with the code below.
What I want to do but cannot seem to figure out is to have the report default to no filter.
The bound query has no criteria.
I'm trying to set the filter property via the on open or on load event and even if I isolate the report, cannot seem to reach it.
Code:
Private Sub b_hide_items_Click()
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.Filter = "timeline.showItem <> 1"
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.FilterOn = True
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub b_show_all_Click()
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.Filter = "timeline.showItem = 0"
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.FilterOn = False
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Requery
End Sub

I am adding another portion to my database and since this is a little different than the other parts I created, I wanted to get some input from the experts.
I am adding Certifications to my database. I am currently tracking skills, OSHA, & Licenses for all employees. My current count for the Certification is around 45. I'm wondering if I should set this up like I did my Skills (look up table for skills that is connected by a one to many relationship to another table) or have all the info on one table?

I have appx 500 customers that have contracts..... The contracts have 15 products that are available. Not all of the customers purchased all of items on the contract. I want to have a database that lists (on one page) the client information, contract information and the product details for that customer. I have no clue how to go about doing this. The Contact database template is what I am starting with. I want to click on a customer and pull up the information all on one page.

I am having trouble setting the focus on my forms... I have a parent form with two labels that are coded like this.
Private Sub Advisory Messages_Click()
Me![ Advisory Messages].Visible = _
Not Me![Advisory Messages].Visible
End Sub
[code]...
I have the visible property set to no on the subform allowing the user to toggle the visibility when the label is clicked. The problem though is when I click inside the subform to use the scroll bar to view records, it transfers the focus to the subform making it almost impossible to close by clicking the label again because the label is on the parent form. I found the "me.parent.setfocus" command and a few other set focus commands but I don't know what I should be applying the command to in order to make it work.

I'm working on an access database and I need to connect that database to the reminder function of Outlook.
At first, I set the reminder precisely six months before the due date, everything was okay and the reminder worked. But after some revision required by my supervisor, I need to set the reminder based on month (not exactly on the due date), so the tasks which have due dates in the same month will be wrapped into a single reminder. The reminder also should be appear in every two weeks. Here's the code I've been worked on :
Code:
Private Sub Expired_AfterUpdate()
Dim outLookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim outLookTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Set outLookApp = CreateObject("outlook.application")
Set outLookTask = outLookApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
[Code]...
I put this code on the AfterUpdate event in the column containing the due date. How should I rearrange the code so it would be able for the reminder to appear based on the month? (just consider that the reminder will be active six months before due date).

I was reading how to make a a button open a webpage. I found out how to and what to type in the Visual Basics. It worked but like another user said, when ever he clicks the button, the window opens for the website but the window is not maximized. He said "I set the open new window value to True".

I'm having a little difficulty setting up a combo box to filter another combo box. I've actually got one working but the second one is giving me all sorts of errors. On the attached database, there's a form called frmAddNewRecord. At the top of the form there's a combo box which allows you to select a name and another combo box beside it which acts as a filter so only names from a certain section are shown (working fine).
The subform which is attached to this form and contains the training details, has another combo box which allows you to select a job...I've tried to add a combo box beside this to filter it but I can't get it to work.

Is there a method of setting the default value for new entries to the same value as the previous entry?
For example, I have a quality control information table that stores QC data for different lot numbers. It is annoying to enter in the lot number and product code field over and over again if there are dozens of records per lot number. Is there a way for Access to easily display the previous entry as the default value?

How would I use the Access 2010 setting, 'Compact on close'?We have a back end on a server and many users with front ends on their computers. So would I set 'Compact on close' on the back end? And then it would compact when the last user logged out?

I just published an access database to sharepoint. However, after I set some user as contributor, those users can see structure of my database, and export tables to excel directly. Is there anyway that we can remove the access to "Setting"?

I am trying to limit what a user can see when accessing a database in access. I am only testing with this in access before taking it to SQL server. I have 3 databases and I combined the data into one set of tables and now what i am trying to do is a certain user can only view data from a particular database.
I have a table with the users id and password, as well as an ID number from each database that I am trying to tie to the users.
for example one user can view and add/edit data in databases 1 and 3 but not 2. while there might be a user that can view and add/edit on 1 and 2 but not 3.

I have at present 2 combo box's that filter, now....... the 1st combo box is a drop down value list that will filter the OPOwner (persons name) for example there are 3000 records and 5 OPOwners, I can for now filter my name in cboOPOwner combo box.
The 2nd box (drop down list) is Status which would be "New";"Open";Pipeline";"Lead" ect...
If I filter my name it brings up all records related to my name and the when I want to filter status it will bring up all records relating to say 'Pipeline' however it will bring everyone's ;Pipeline and not just mine.
What I want is to filter my name in the OPOwner combo box and once all records are filtered in my name then in the status combo box filter what ever I want to look at. example what I want to filter - 'Filter Neil' then 'Filter Pipeline, or filter Lead or New'.
This is the code I have in both combo's....
Private Sub cboOPOwner_AfterUpdate()
If Nz(Me.cboOPOwner.Text) = "" Then
Me.Form.Filter = ""
Me.FilterOn = False
ElseIf Me.cboOPOwner.ListIndex <> -1 Then
Me.Form.Filter = "[OPOwner] = '" & _
Replace(Me.cboOPOwner.Text, "'", "''") & "'"
Me.FilterOn = True
[Code] ....

I have a database that opens into a continuous form ... which has records and a user name in each, which is taken from a table "ASSIGNED". At the foot of the continuous form I put a filter button to show only the selected user records.That when opening the form, Access asks why I want to filter user (do this only once) ... So each user sees only their records.It is clear that the "Front End" is used in a network and is linked to another database with multiple related tables.

I have a query based report Linked to a form. That is, in my form, i have a combo box. Selecting this combo box pulls out a certain field values in list box in the same form. (Cascading Combo/ List Boxes).
So after i select a certain value in combo box, it shows a certain field values in the list box. Now, i want to open a report and view only the records that has the selected combo box and list box values.
Note: I have seen a guy made an access report based on a query. He made a form with a combo box and a list box.
The report is based on the combo box value selected by the user. Once, the user selected a value in the combo box, the list box updates automatically. ( I have done till here successfully). Then he used a toggle button on the same form.
This toggle button opens the report with the combo box value as the criteria but filters the report based on the field value in the list box.
How to place a toggle button with a filter command to open a query based report?

I need to filter a subform based on the values on the mainform.
Criteria are Multiple. The idea is to show the user the records that are already existing in the table.
First two criteria works, stuck with the third one
I.Criteria - Creative(text type)
Private Sub Creative_AfterUpdate()
Me.frmCommercialWithDetails_subform.Form.Filter = _
"Creative ='" & Creative & "'"
Me.frmCommercialWithDetails_subform.Form.FilterOn = True
End Sub
[Code] ....
Also, how to split the code into two lines
"Creative ='" & Creative & "' And Act_ID = " & Act_ID
when broken into:
"Creative ='" & Creative & "' _
And Act_ID = " & Act_ID
is automatically saved as:
"Creative ='" & Creative & "'" _
And Act_ID = " & Act_ID " and this generates an error on execution.
