Gang,
I have searched this group and have found several other occasions where
folks have experienced the same problem that is described below.
"I have access to several databases where I have used the filter by
form
button to find the records I require. I some databases the drop down
combo
box that results has all the different options within that field that
can be
selected. The others just have the choice of is null or is not null.
The
former is obviously the better. Please can anybody tell me why there
are the
differences and how I can make the databases that only have the null
and not
null options show a list of all possibilities ? (I think this is like
auto
filter in Excel). "
THE RESPONSE IS LISTED BELOW -
Gary,
If you click Tools->Options->Edit/Find you will see a box which
specifies "Don't display lists where more than..." If your combo has
more records than this number, it will show Null/Not Null.
*************** *
I tried different values and had no luck and I'm not surprised as most
of my variables where I'm getting this message have fewer than 10
choices. Does anyone have any other ideas they would like to share with
me?
I would really appreciate any and all help.
Regards,
Mike

I believe it also matters whether the table is linked versus local.

I just confirmed this. When using FBF on a form bound to a linked table all I
get are Is Null and Is Not Null. I then imported the table and used that
instead of the link and I get all of the choices.

Rick - Could you please elaborate on that. I don't completely follow
you. What do you mean by a form bound to linked table?

I mean that the table is not in the same file as the form. It is a link to a
table in another file or in my case an ODBC link to a SQL Server table.

Thanks Rick - Once again, my ignorance shines bright. In my case the
only thing in this particular database is a table with the data and a
single query. No forms. I'm running into the null/not null situation
when I choose the filter by form icon from the tool bar from within
either the table itself or the query. There is nothing elaborate here.
Any other thoughts on what I might try to remedy the problem?

Well then the best that I can tell it is related to record qty. I just tested
again with a local table with 1800 records. I got the Is Null, Is Not Null
choices. I reduced the record qty to 1000 and then I got the data choices.

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
