Form Filtering.

Hi Folks,

I have a form frm.viewbookings which shows in the header the labels Stylist1 through to Stylist 7 with the stylist names underneath them. In total for the set of data I have there are 14stylists. Ok behind all this we have 2 tables tmp_bookingsGrid & tmp_clientGrid.

Also in order to populate the form we run several queries in order to populate these tables with the required data & show the following in the detail section of the form Client_Id_No, Booking_Client_Name, Booking_Client _Address, Booking_Contact_No & Booking_Appoint_Type.

In the form footer we have our command buttons.

The form currently shows all the bookings for a particular date. what I would like to be able to do is show only the bookings for Stylists 1 to 7 on the form & then click on a button & show the next 7 stylists with the bookings for these 7 stylists.

I'm not quite sure how to go about this. If ya need anymore details (code etc)let me know. also instead of nothing showing if there is no appointments at a certain time I would like a blank row to appear in that slot/slots that is/are missing

Have a look at the following tutorial.

You should also take a look at this 3rd party tool which costs less than $20:

It is a form builder that enables you to select the features (including filtering) you want on the form and will build the form for you.

Cheers for your help. Now have the form filtering nicely to show the records I want. Any idea how I would put in a blank row for the appointment times that have no bookings.

Eg On the filtered form showing the 1st 7 stylists I have appointments at 1.30pm,2.00pm,3.00pm,3.30pm,4.00pm &4.30pm. I need to put in a blank row for 2.30pm.

Any ideas or articles/tutorials you can point me to would be great

re: Form Filtering.

You will need to create a table of all the available times. Then left join that table to the table/query behind the subform so that all times show on the subform.

Thanks I'll try that
