How to Group Records in a Form

14 New Member
Hi,

I'd like to know if there is anyway I can group records in a datasheet view ms access form. For example, i would like to view all records grouped by their product type after i finish entering all details and clicking refresh.

Any type of help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Records in a form are generally sorted, not grouped. Is that what you mean?

have a separate table that contains the different product type choices.
Then from the original table, have that product type field look up
to the separate table. It would change to a drop down box
where you can select the product type from the list instead of typing
them over and over.

AFter that, creat a form using fomr wizard adding All the fields from
the original table and all the fields from the product type table.
Access automatically creates subforms. when asked for the format
you would like for the subform, choose datasheet.

By doing that, you would have the product type as the main form,
and there would be a subform that lists all the records that has
that product type.

Thanks a lot for your replies. But I guess i was not clear in my explanations. I want to group (to have a plus sign next to a product category) records belonging to the same product.

Thanks,

That's the same steps I have provided you. As soon
as you've done them, go to design view of the form
and Go to the Format Tab.
On the default view propert, select data sheet.

Hello I have a report, which lists records. Each record has money paid field. Money paid can be 0 or not 0. I calculate and print summary of money for a group in the group footer, as well as summary of money for all groups the report footer. When there is at least one record with money >0, group and report footers are appropriate and look OK. When all records are with 0 money, footers look silly. I’d like not to print them. I have placed...

Access 97. I have a form where there is an option group with two buttons, and a combo box. The combo box Row Source is a query. The option group has two options a) include a subset of the query where all records with the field OPEN set to Yes, or return all records in the query (OPEN = Yes or No). If I "manually" set the criteria to 1 (yes) or 1 Or 2, I get the correct records returned. However, I want to use the option group

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 am using Crystal reports version 11.2 to create reports. The data source is SQL Server, and I am using views rather than reporting directly from tables. I apply selection criteria to the incoming records at record level and at group level. For example, I may select all bill lines with a receipt date within a certain date range. This results in a list of bill lines within that date range. The records are grouped and values on the records...

Hi all, I have a form with a subform. On the form is a combo box with three choices "current", "former" and "all". I'd like to use that combo box to set the data source for the subform based on the status field referred to in the subform. I've tried to set the data source to a query based on that value -- it works for "current" and "former", but I can't figure out how to write the query so that it selects all records. My thinking is...
