Filtering combo boxes in a form

I've got two databases with similar data in them (WestSide and EastSide).
I've set up two identical reports that is filtered by date and the client
name. I'm using one form to do the filtering.

Currently, I've used queries to combine the two client lists, so when I open
the combo box, I have many names I need to scroll through until I find the
one I want.

How can I use filtering to only see clients from one database or the other,
based on which report I open?

That is, if I open the Westside report, I'll only see the Westside clients.
When I open the Eastside, only Eastside clients will appear.

Currently, it's not so bad, but we're adding more sites, and more databases
to the list.

Any ideas?

Thanks

The table into which I wish to save it has 10 records, the past 10 years results. The problem is that I select the calendar year from an unbound combo box and it runs a filter that restricts the...

I have an ordering form that use two combo boxes to filter down the records of a Products table. This worked fine with the after_Update of the first filtering the records and creating the rowsource of the second combo. The second combo's control source is the Product ID field (foriegn key) on the Orders table. Everything worked well until I decided to enhance the form by changing the second combo to an option group. Now I don't know...

I have a form with a subform control on it listing records returned by a saved query named UnbilledVehicles. I would like to put command buttons on the main form to apply dynamic filters to the records displayed in the subform control. Say, for instance, to list only 2004 model cars. I'm seeking the simplest approach. The main form is frmCreateInvoice, the subform control is named frmCreateInvoiceSubFormCtl and the actual sub- form is...

Howdy All, I have a query that is used for filtering results to be used in a combo box. The query needs to test fields from both a table and then unbound text boxes on the form that also contains the combo box. The fields I am working with are date fields that are formated as Short Date. I have written an IIF statement and placed it within the Criteria section of the Date field that I am trying to filter by. The current IIF statement works...

Hi I am on Access 2003 on XP. When I set a form to allow edits = false, combo boxes on that form that are not data bound become locked also. I used these for filtering purposes,ie, users can filter the form on a combo click. Is there any way to leave these enabled when allow edits = false? Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
