form onClick OpenReport vs. report onOpen applyFilter

I have a continuous form with a list of items from a table. One of the
fields in the table is "print". this allows the user to select items from
the list on the form for printing in a report. on that form i have a button
with the following onclick event:

DoCmd.OpenRepor t "rptCustomerRep ort", acViewPreview, , "Print = True"

This opens the report "rptCustomerRep ort" and shows all of the records that
the user had checked of on the form. If no records are checked, the report
opens with one blank record. Exactly as I want it to work.

I am trying to set up the report so that it filters for these records in the
onopen event of the report instead of from the form. i put the following
code in the onOpen event of the report:

DoCmd.ApplyFilt er , Forms!frmPlantL istBot!PrintChe ck = True

If no records are selected on the form (which is open) then one blank record
is displayed, same as before. However, if I check of any of the boxes on the
form (control is named 'printCheck' on the form, controlsource is 'print'
from the underlying table) then all of the records show up on the report,
not just the ones that have been checked off.

what am i missing?

take a look at the Filter Property topic in VBA Help; that may work for you,
rather than the ApplyFilter command.

The problem to resolve should be pretty easy for someone. I have a main form which contains a combo box to lookup various vendors. Have several reports for the vendors, but it is print all or none. So here is what I have done and would like to stay on the same track. 1. Created a new vendor query (qryVendorRpt) with only the needed fields including the combo box (cboVendorsMain) from the main form (frmMain).

Is it possible to incorporate a search into a form using a text field for the search word(s) and a command button to start the search, returning results that don't exactly match..

Quick question for you. I'm using a small form for users to input a range of dates for a report (similar to the date range forms used in MS templates) that has an ok and a cancel button. How can I set up the cancel button so that is does just that? As it is right now, the event for the cancel button is simply docmd.close but if I click this button, ms prompts me to enter parameter values for begindate and enddate. If i cancel out of these...

Hello all, I have been working on this issue for about a week and still cannot get anything to group or sort. At this point, I just want to be able to group a report by using a 'checkbox' on a form.

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.
