You can also
me.filter= "[FieldInForm] = '" & [comboField] & "'"
me.filterOn = true

I've found that sometimes the DoCmd version doesn't work.

Hi, I have a form based on a table. When I filter the form I want to run a report based on the same table with the same filter as the form. No problem until I want to filter a combo box where the text value is on a different table. The me.filter is then a text instead of the id-number from the lookup table. This causes the report to prompt for the parameter. How do I get by this problem? Do I need to create a temporary table? I rather...

I am just trying to print/report the results of a "filter by selection" which is done by right-clicking a form, filling in values, and "applying the filter." I have searched the newsgroups, and there are many examples. BUT, they fail sometimes. The techique is to pass the form's Me.filter as the "where condition" in a Docmd.openreport statement in code behind a "print button" on the form.

Hi all! My (relatively small) database holds data on staff members and the projects (services) that they are assigned to. In my form frmStaff, I have a list of staff members - it is a continuous form. Each staff member is linked to a Service through a many-to-many relationship, using a junction table called jctStaffServices. I would like to place a Combo Box in frmStaff where you can 'filter' staff by the Service (i.e. ServiceName)...

Hi All, I'm a newbie in terms of Access and some of its functionality . I've been stuck on this problem for a couple days, even after searching the Web, etc. Currently I have five combo boxes (actually list boxes) that are multiselects in my main form. I need to use these combo boxes to filter a subform within my main form. My combo boxes are as follows: 1. A - 4 select options 2. B - 10 select options 3. C - 4 select options

MS Access 2003, Windows XP SP2, VBA I have a continuous form that allows edits and filters, but not deletions or additions. I filter the form based on combining selections the user makes in several combo boxes on the form. The filter is updated whenever the user changes his/her selection. My problem is when the user selects a filter option that is not present in the data. The filter works fine - no records are displayed; however, the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
