Filter main form based on subform filter

1 New Member
I have 2 tables. One master, one child using Access 2003 (PC)

Have 2 forms. The main form is continuous while the sub is datasheet.

I can filter on the main form and the subform filters with it. No problem.

My goal is to be able to filter on the subform and have the main form filtered with it. Thought it would be simple but I for a week solid I have not been able to solve this on my own. I have review a zillion websites and still can't find a solution.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi All; I need little help. I have a datasheet form. I allow user to do 'filter by selection'. My form contains a column with values. As user changes selections, I want to calculate totals. I can do this the first time the form loads.

I'm having trouble applying a filter to a subform. I create a String in a Module based on various selections on the form. Clicking a button on the "stand alone form" that changes the filter property string to the string from the module works fine. As soon as I put the form on the "main form" (thereby coverting it to a sub form) things...

In reading some of the posts on this group, it appears as though it is not strait forward at all to filter a form, which has subforms, by criteria which are either on subforms or span more than one subform..... This MSDN article however makes it sound as simple as clicking "Filter by Form", entering the search criterial in the form and/or...

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. ...
