Modules & VBA :: How To Add Another Combo Box To Filter A Field
Jan 23, 2014
I have some code in which I enter a startdate and a enddate into textbox's and a combo box where I enter a client name when I run the code it will show all record's generated with in the date range and same client name set in the combo box "cboclient" what I would like to be able to do is have another combo box call cboclient2 which will allow me to enter another client name so then when the report opens it will show me with in the date range set in startdate and enddate and filter the client field by cboclient and cboclient2 so for e.g.
startdate
01/01/14
enddate
11/01/14
cboclient
peter
cboclient2
steve
Run code show all record in date range and with client name peter and steve
Here's the code I have
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
'On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Remove the single quote from start of this line once you have it working.
Dim strReport As String
Dim strDateField As String
Dim strWhere As String
Dim lngView As Long
Const strcJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#" 'Do NOT change it to match your local settings.
I am trying to edit the below code to use 'Form_Select_Batch_Number_Form.Combo9.Value' as the combobox value to filter the records in 'Form_ Remitter_DB_Entry_Form'. I am trying to get the filtering to occur when a button on Form_Select_Batch_Number is selected. Below is my attempt to create the button to accomplish this but it is not functional and needs some work.
Code:
Option Compare Database Private Sub Command0_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Blank Form2", windowmode:=acDialog Dim MyValue As String
I have a set of combo filters that filter one after the other as follows -
If Not IsNull(Me.NameFilterBox) Then If Me.Form.Filter="" Then Me.Form.Filter="Name ='" & Me.NameFilterBox & "'" Else Me.Form.Filter = Me.Form.Filter & " and Name = '" & Me.NameFilterBox & "'"
[Code] .....
and the I use the
Me!Form.Filter = Me!Form.Filter & " and Name = '" & Me!cboOPOwner.Text & "'"
to filter down so the user can work with what they filter, my question is how can I add on a filter that filters between dates? and second I was hoping that I could program the filters so that they could be changed individually/randomly as to filtering one after the other and then clearing to restart the filtering again ...
I have a main form with multiple combo boxes that filter a subform datasheet. In my main form combo box [PR_Filter] I added a selection titled "<Blanks>". When I select "<Blanks>", I want it to filter my subform field [PR] for NULL values. If I select anything else I want it to filter on that selection. I cannot get the NULL filter to work.
Here is the code that I have (Red is the field I need the NULL values):
Private Function PurchaseFilter() Dim strFilter As String Dim bFilter As Boolean bFilter = False strFilter = ""
I am using combo box to filter records from a form. The data source for the form is from a query.
I use the combo box within the query to filter the data, I would like the form to refresh/ run the query again every time a new selection is made from the combo box.
I currently have a combo box that filters form based on specialist (an employee using the system), and this works fine:
Private Sub FilterSpecialist_AfterUpdate() Me.Filter = "SpecialistAssigned = '" & Me.FilterSpecialist & "'" Me.FilterOn = True End Sub
When Specialist Assigned name is selected, it only shows their cases (records of the form that are assigned to them).
However, now I'm trying to also filter based on only the selected Specialists Open cases. I have a combo box at the bottom of the form that saves whether the Case is Open or Closed, (creatively) called CaseOpenClosed:
Private Sub FilterSpecialist_AfterUpdate() Me.Filter = ("SpecialistAssigned = '" & Me.FilterSpecialist & "'" And CaseOpenClosed = "Open") Me.FilterOn = True End Sub
I've tried this based on me searching the forum but it doesnt filter at all anymore, and no error either. I've tried other ways but get errors. What is wrong with this?
My goal is to use a combo box on a nav pane to filter the following 5 nav panes with data sheet views on them. The combo shows 'component' and should filter each datasheet to only show records with the same 'component' selected in its respective component column.
What I'm currently dealing with is said component combo disappearing upon nav change, and I can't get it to filter the datasheet..but that is likely due to the fact that I cant get it to hold value on page switch.
I Have 2 combo box on a form: Product_Type (6 values) and Product_Name (30 values and each belongs to a type), I want to narrow down the Product_Name to related Product_type whenever I select a type in the first field. Is there anyway to do this?
I have a form wich includes listbox of employees. When I click on them, it shows his or her data (date of birth,address,etc...). For every employee there are also three diferent checkboxes - if he is regularly employed, temporaly employed or student.So now what I need is to filter listbox of employees - only student or only regular or only temporar or all.I was wondering if I can do that with combobox, but I really dont know how. I am prety new to VBA.
If anybody could shine some light it would be much appreciated. I have 3 tables: Task table---*Task ID, Task(txt), Start(date/Time), finish(date/Time) Tasking table---*TaskingID, TaskID, EmployeeID employee table---*EmployeeID, Name(txt) The employee and task table are joined to the tasking table. This is so i can have a task which has many employees and an employee with many tasks. What i'm try to do is create a form which starts a task with a subform to add employees, but with combo box which filters employees with tasks which over-lap the task in focus(start and finish fields) but still showing employees which do not yet have any tasks. the start and finish fields are hh:nn dd/mm/yy. If anybody can help i would be very grateful

I want to create a cascading combo box - so far so simple, but in all the tutorials I can find the options in the second combo box are exclusive to the first e.g. combo box 1 selects "state", combo box 2 then displays "city". Each city can only be in one state.
In my scenario each city is in several different states - and so far I'm failing to come up with any sort of strategy as to how to deal with this. I tried giving each state a "yes/no" formatted field in the "city" table, figuring if I could use the first combo box to point access to the right field in the "city" table I could filter those records by "WHERE [fieldnominatedbycombobox1] =True" - but I don't know how to make a one combo box determine which field a subsequent combo box filters by.
I have 2 unbound combo box's on a form 1 called cboclient1 and the another called cboclient2. would like to be able to filter field name client name twice by cboclient1 and cboclient2 here my sql from my query
Code: WHERE (((Assets.Client)=Forms![report gen]!cboclient1)) Or (((Forms![report gen]!Cboclient1) Is Null));
This works perfectly for cboclient1 problem comes when I try and add cboclient2
I have tried
Code: WHERE (((Assets.Client)=Forms![report gen]!cboclient1)) Or (((Forms![report gen]!Cboclient1) Is Null))AND(((Assets.Client)=Forms![report gen]!cboclient2)) Or (((Forms![report gen]!Cboclient2) Is Null));[/
I want to add to every row a combobox with a list of towns depending on the value in the field Country ID.how do I filter the comboboxes individually based on a value in another field on the same row?
I'm working on a table for work which will serve as a database of bins and the products currently in those bins, as follows:
ID Bin Amt Product 1 34 25 110001 2 33 15 200005 3 32 23 110003 etc.
Basically: employee A will use a form to update "Bin 34" (ID=1), with information (Amt, Product) until it is emptied by employee B and cleared using a separate form. No new records will be made or deleted, just the adjacent fields (Amt, Product) cleared and filled in and cleared again over and over.
What I'm trying to figure out is, when employee A clicks on the combo box on his/her form to select a Bin and enter information, how can I filter what is listed in the combo box to display only those bins which have no values under Amt & Product. The real-world risk of overwriting a bins fields before it has been cleared by employee B (who physically empties the bin) can be extremely high monetarily so I am trying to reduce that risk by eliminating it from the combo box until employee B has cleared those fields.
The main form has textbox & a Listbox with which I filtered a datasheet inside a sub form. Everything worked fine only the listbox [Discipline] is not working !! it cuase Run-time error: 3831 - The multi-valued field "[Category]" cannot be used in a WHERE or HAVING clause.
So how do I filter a multivalued Listbox field [Discipline] ?
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() 'On erorr GoTo errr Me.tblFLM_subform1.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM tblFLM " & BuildFilter Me.tblFLM_subform1.Requery Exit Sub errr: MsgBox Err.Description End Sub
In my Access 2010 database there is a form with a large number of checkboxes enabling me to select/deselect certain record details.
Each click on one of the checkboxes triggers a VBA routine setting true/false values in one of several tables linked to the main table.
A query over all records is filtered by the true/false values of the linked tables and the resulting set of records is displayed in the (continuous) form.
The header of the form contains a text field with the value "=GetRecCount()" displaying (correctly, but randomly fast) the number of records selected:
Code: Function GetRecCount() As String Dim NumRecs As Long Dim rs As Object On Error Resume Next Set rs = Forms![Super Search].RecordsetClone rs.MoveLast NumRecs = rs.RecordCount Set rs = Nothing GetRecCount = Format(NumRecs, "##,###") End Function
Now, the funny thing is that each click on one of the boxes results in 1 call of the VBA routine setting table values, but 21 calls (!) of the text field "=GetRecCount()" in the form. I have established this by incrementing a public variable at each pass.
Why a field in a form is updated 21 times when a filter is applied?
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.
I have seen a few articles here and there on using a combo box to filter records in a sub-form and to filter records in another combo box, but I am not getting anywhere. I hope someone can belp
Exercise 1
For this exercise, I have the following tables:
tblClients containing client names tblProjects containing some project details
I want to set up a simple form, so that the user can select a client name from a combo box on the main form which filters the project detail records in the Projects sub-form. Once the user enters project details, I want this info as well as the selected ClientID to be fed back to tblProjects.
Exercise 2
I have the following tables:
tblProjects as above tblWorkstream containiig names of workstreams and some other details.
Every project has one or more workstreams
I have a form where users will enter hours worked on each workstream. They will first select Project from a combo box on the main form. This should then filter records to be displayed in the Workstream Combo box, before they can then enter hours.
Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of this better.
Thanks in advance.
ps. I am a novice, so I'm hoping to do the above using default MS stuff, not with complex programming!!!
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.
I have a sub form that I enter date range in 2 text box's txtstartdate and txtenddate this is filtering field "date raised" and I have combo box call cboclient this is filtering field "client name" this code is behind a command button after hitting the command button it open's the report and it show's all records with in the date range and with client name enter in cboclient works great. problem is I have now added another cboclient2 to filter client name twice so now I enter a date range in txtstartdate and txtenddate put a client name in cboclient and a client name in cbocleint2 hit command button it open's the report but doesn't apply the date range to cboclient2 it just show's all records with that client name
Code: Private Sub cmdPreview_Click() 'On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Remove the single quote from start of this line once you have it Dim strReport As String Dim strDateField As String Dim strWhere As String Dim lngView As Long
I try to create an error message if a user fills in a date field and leaves a combo box with wrong value.I have no clue how to use "Is Not" to check the combo box.The date field that will be filled in is called "Sent to Check" and the combo box is called "Status Case" and the value should be "Sent For Check" If the value in the combo box is different, then the back ground should change to red and get a message.This is the code I have so far that does not work:
Code: Private Sub Test__date_started__AfterUpdate() 'XXXXXXXXXX working onXXXXXXXXXXXXXX If Not IsNull(Me.[Sent_To_Check] And Me.[Status_Case] IsNot "Sent For Check" Then MsgBox "Status Case be set to Sent For Check!", , "Incomplete Form!" Me.[Sent_To_Check].BackColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) Else Me.[Sent_To_Check].BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255) End If End Sub
Hi All, Just after a code or way to filter client details via a combo box. Basically select combox drop down menu select the sales rep then it filters by sales rep and shows only the clients for that sales rep. I can get it to filter but it does the first client of that sales rep but not the rest.
