Modules & VBA :: Form Filter And OrderBy Pass To Report
Aug 16, 2014
I am able to filter a data on a continuous form using drop downs and then the following code attached to a cmdbutton to create a report of the filtered data.
Code:
Private Sub Command30_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
If Me.FilterOn Then strWhere = Me.Filter
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptconveyorerrors", acViewReport, , strWhere
End Sub
On the same form where I filter the data i can sort it by clicking the headings aswell, however when i generate the report using the above VBA it doesn't take the sort with it and just generates it without the sort.
I am using the following VBA to sort my form
Code:
Me.OrderByOn = True
If Me.OrderBy = "[empname] DESC" Then
Me.OrderBy = "[empname] ASC"
Else
Me.OrderBy = "[empname] DESC"
End If
Me.Refresh
I thought it may be possible to use the following sort of VBA to pass the sort however i cant get it to work:
Code:
Private Sub Command30_Click()
Dim strOrder As String
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
If Me.FilterOn Then strWhere = Me.Filter
If Me.OrderByOn Then strOrder=Me.OrderByOn
I have a tabular form that is based on a select statement (Query) in the source property. It filters & sorts from this select statement. permanently
I have just added a Me.Filter = "[Form1].[InDate] = #" & MyValue & "# " Me.OrderBy = "Indate DESC"
This all works fine, filters & sorts on the existing results.However this new filter & sort seems to remain no matter what I do.I have used every variation one me.filter ="" with Me.FilterOn = True, False & every combination.
Me.Filter="" & Me.FilterOn = False does initially seem to clear the lsit to show all records but as soon as type anything that filters the Form on the original, existing underlying select statement the extra Filter Property & Sort properties are occupied with the last filter/sort.
I have manually deleted any remaining Filter Or Sort properties direct from design view, saved, compacted & saved again.Once I use the new me.filter it will always returned as soon an any filter on the form is applied.I definately am not setting it again anywhere. Is there something better than me.filter ="", seen clearallfilters mentioned but not sure if this would apply just to the current form but reluctant to use a blanket clear as I do have quite a lot of other things going on.
Not sure when but many months (If not years) ago my form source stopped being a query and started using the query (sql) direct from the source property.I have left it this way as not sure if any consequence of moving back but don't remember how or how it happened. What are the pros cons of using a separate query.
I have a subform within a form that displays filtered data based on dynamic selection criteria which is assigned to the RecordSource/OrderBy of the subform. On this form, I have a "Print Results" button -- OnClick, I would like the RecordSource/OrderBy of the subform to be copied to the Report, then run the report. What I have that doesn't work is:
I have a subform (this subform's source object can change to one of three diffrent forms) that allows the users to filter. I have a requirement to output the filtered data to excel. I am creating a query based on the subforms record source called qryExport. I now want to pass the subforms filter to qryExport. I have the string setup now I just need to know how to pass the data into the filter property of the query.
I'm trying to have a form sorted in a particular order when it's opened.
When using the "order by" option in the properties sheet, it is sorted the way I want the first time I open the form.
However, if I change the order afterwards while using the form (for instance, by right clicking and selecting another sort order), well the next time the form is opened, it is sorted with this new sort order, and not the default one.
So I tried to add the following code :
Code: Private Sub Form_Open() Me.OrderBy "employee_name ASC" Me.OrderByOn = True End Sub
I am trying to enter dates in a form that calls a report that invokes a query that uses the dates. It has been a less then satisfying experience. I am getting a Run-Time error 3122. Is it possible and I need to work on syntax or do I need to think of another way? BTW how do I lookup the Run-Time errors? Thanks for helping an old guy learn new tricks. Jim
I have a stored procedure created in SQL SERVER 2008r2
I have a form in access adp project with combo boxes, when I click the submit button I want the values chosen to be the parameters and the stored procedure called to generate a report
I have two subforms in a tab formation sitting on a main form. They can both open up a single popup form (via a button) and that popup form is opened via openargs with the autoID field.
What I need to do is pass back a value on the popup forms [On Unload] event to the subform which opened it.
As the popup form is Modal, the subform which opened it can't be changed.
Am I right in thinking I can pass back the value to the form which had previous focus?
Previously, to pass a value from a popup form to a single form I've been using
Code:
If CurrentProject.AllForms("MyForm").IsLoaded Then do this else do this end if
But in this instance, how do I code the On Unload event in which to tell Access which form opened up the popup form, and pass a value back to it?
I'm guessing Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus has something to do with it?
I want to pass the Combobox value of one form to a textbox on another using the where condition. Using the break in VBA, the value of the combobox (in this instance "two") shows as null. the control of the combobox is [cboSubCategory] and I want it's value to pass to another form "tblCategoriesSub" (aware of the incorrect reference, as used wizard quickly - but will change if I can get it to work) to the "SubCategory" field.
I'm working on a database that will be used when maintenance needs to be performed on our test equipment. So far, I have a form set up for the associates to track when a maintenance action has been performed. The top section of the form contains basic data about the part and there is a subform that lists the actions that need to be taken on the piece of equipment. In the subform, the associate can mark whether the action is complete or not.
If the action is marked incomplete, I wanted a separate form to appear for them to track why an action cannot be performed. If possible, I would like this separate form to automatically show the equipment ID and the action that was missed. However, I'm having difficulty getting the data to copy from the subform to the Exception form. Is this something that is possible to do?
I have a button on my main db, that opens a second db using hte following code:
---------------------- 'Dealing with external objects, use inline error trapping On Error Resume Next Dim appAccess As Object
Dim db As Database Dim strAppPathName As String Dim strAppName As String Dim strTimesheetPathName As String
[Code] ....
This code works great to open the other db, and handles wheter the other db is already open or not, but I cant seem to pass the variable to the other db using the startup switch /cmd.
I suspect if I used the shell method it would pass the cmd , but I havnt found any way to test if the db is already open with the shell method.
How can I pass a variable to the other db when opening it using VBA?
I'm trying to figure out how to filter a report using a check box.
I have created a form, which if you push an industry labled button on that form it will show you the report with what work was done for that industry.
Now I'm trying to modify it so that I have a group of check boxes; each check box being a different office location the company has.
What I want to make happen is if say out of office A. B. C. and D., A. and D. are checked and I hit the button of a specific industry it will bring me up a report of office A. and D. Combined for that industry.
From what I've figured I can create a bunch of reports of all the different possiblities and link those to that senerio, but that seems tedious and ridiculous.
Is there a way I can code VBA to do this for me? Or am I going to have to go through the proccess of creating a bunch of different querries and reports beyond what I have now to pull up an industry.
'ExpiryTag' is the name of the text box from above.
When it equals 1, I want the report to show those records. I have done this for other reports and it worked so easily, and for some reason it just doesn't want to work on this report. I believe the difference is that the text box is calculated in the report and not in the query (for this report I can not calculate it in the query). I think it might have something to do with the output of the 1 and 0
i.e. "1" versus '1' or just 1.
I have also tried every iteration of "ExpiryTag = 1"
I have a button that opens a report. The code behind the button builds the filter criteria for the report based on some selections in a list box.
Code: DoCmd.openReport "Report", acViewPreview, "", GetCriteria For VarItem = 0 To Me.List2.listcount - 1 strCriteria = strCriteria & "([ProjectNo]= '" & Me.List2.Column(1, VarItem) & "' And [ClientID] = " & Me.List2.Column(0, VarItem) & ") Or " Next VarItem If strCriteria <> "" Then strCriteria = Left(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 4) Else strCriteria = "True" End If GetCriteria = strCriteria
This is what the filter would look like with values after running the report (taken from filter bar in report properties):
([ProjectNo]= '150002' And [ClientID] = 206) Or ([ProjectNo]= '150003' And [ClientID] = 79)
Problem is that i only get records for ([ProjectNo]= '150002' And [ClientID] = 206). I this seems only filter ONE set of criteria ignoring all the others. What am i doing wrong?
So what I have created is a form with 4 combo boxes which filters a subform with a click button by running a sql query.It was working great yesterday but then when I made the subform a pass through query it seems to no longer run (or just runs so slow it takes a large amount of time to query). To get a better sense of what I'm talking about I basically have a button and inside of the button it takes this query template:
SQL = "SELECT * FROM queryname WHERE 1=1"
concats with if statements to the end of the Where clause with the values in the combo box and then sets
subFormName.Form.RecordSource = SQL
how I can get this table to query...Also, for my second question, is it possible to make this pass through table editable after I filter it?
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 trying to filter a report based on two user inputted dates, but can't seem to figure it out. I've played around with quotation marks, and # but can't seem to figure the syntax out.
Code: Me.OrderBy = "Date Submitted" Me.OrderByOn = True Dim Date1 As Date Dim Date2 As Date Date1 = UserInput Date2 = UserInput DoCmd.ApplyFilter WhereCondition:="[Date Submitted] > Date1 and < Date2"
There's a button(Button1) on the main form (Form1) and on the second form (Form2).On Form1, I've got a link(LinkToForm2) to Form2.When people click on LinkToForm2, I want access to open Form2 and hide/show Button1 depending on whether it is shown/hidden in Form1.
Is there a way to, maybe, set a value on Form1_Deactivate (depending on whether Button1 is shown/hidden),So that, on Form2_Activate, it can check that value and hide/show Button1 accordingly?
first form contains many textboxes second form is continuous and contains two textbox
I make a shortcut to the second form so i can open it with Shift+F1
Now when the form 2 open i want to double click on any row then the form 2 will close then the information well be copied to two specified textboxes in the form1
N.B form1 should still be opened when i open the form2
what i have is a form with a report inside of it (i just drug it in and dropped it). the report filters off of a field in the form. So upon opening the form, the report filters correctly. however as i browse through the form records, the report doesn't update. i can't figure out how to get it to update with the form its on. i've tried report.requery in the form_current area but it doesn't seem to re-apply the filter.
I have a continuos form (list of records) with a tool bar with "filter by form buton". This buton allow to users filter the list of records showed by the form by diferent field criterias.
After applied a filter I need a buton in the tool bar to print the filtered records on a report with a specific design: logo company, header, footer, etc.
I don't know how to apply the same filter used by the form to a report. Notice the filter by form continuos change depending the user.
I have not too much experiencie in programming. So I appreciate in advance any help.
Please see the attached. I am receiving a fatal error when I attempt filtering my report. It reads "Data Type Mismatch". Can someone take a look at this and tell me what I need to do to make this work ???
