Filter Report Data thru Combobox Selection

Hi,
I have project in MS Access.In that I have one form in which there is one combobox .I want to know when I select an item from that combobox and click on submit button then it should open a report which filter data from table.So i only want specific data from table in report based on selection of item from combobox in a form.

Can anyone help?

re: Filter Report Data thru Combobox Selection

We need much more specific information than this, such as:

1. Name of the Combo Box?
2. Name of the Report?
3. Record Source for the Report (Table Name)?
4. Fields in the Combo Box?
5. Field in Combo Box that will Filter Report data?
6. Is this above Field Text or Numeric?
7. Any other information you may think is relevant?

re: Filter Report Data thru Combobox Selection

Okay how do you do this for two combo boxes?

re: Filter Report Data thru Combobox Selection

or instead of me u can use FormName.


This one I used in my project.

re: Filter Report Data thru Combobox Selection

I am a little confused with your posting.

My 1st combo box is named: titleName
second combo box is named: artistName
the report is named: Comic_List

titleName is in tblTitle
artistname is in tblArtist

Both have Primary keys:

Title_ID
Artist_ID

re: Filter Report Data thru Combobox Selection

Private Sub Submit_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "Comic_List", acViewPreview, , "(tblTitle.TitleName=[Forms]![Comic_List]![titleName]) and (tblArtist.artistname=[Forms]![Comic_List]![artistName])"

End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I input this code into the form and it works BUT first a msg box comes up asking for input of titleName and then a second msg box asking for artistName. How do i open the report with out the msg boxes popping up and it just accepting it form the combo boxes?

re: Filter Report Data thru Combobox Selection

Problem in ur case, caused bcz both comboboxes' values are fetched from two different tables.

Now there are two options for U.
First Case

U have to use subreport in ur main report.

For that U have to set the FirstTableName(tblTitle) as RecordSource of Main Report and set SecondTableName(tblArtist) as RecordSource of SubReport.Also in SubReport U have to set the Foreign Key(Common Field in Both Tables, may be in ur case NameofBook or something as I think bcz u didn't mention it)as Link Child Fields and Link Master Fields properties.and then U have to only do this


Second Case

In ur Form When U select the value from ComboBox(artistName) then in its AfterUpdate event fetch all the values(Use DLOOKUP for fetching values) from table(tblArtist), u want in report, and set them in textboxes in ur Form.
Then in Ur Report(no SubReport in this case) set the Record Source of TextBox as =Forms!Comic_List!TextBoxName for each field u want.
And then U have to only do this



I suggest to use First Case bcz its the proper way to do it.
I hope it will help u.
