Null default in a query

2 New Member
Created an access database and previously when I did queries each heading in the query offered a drop down of the data previously entered. ie Name etc. It was helpful since as I would spell a name it often would hot key possible results. Now when I do a query under each heading there is no longer a drop down but "is null or is not null. How do I get it back to the way it was. I don't see any changes in properties and if I open an old version of the database, I get the drop down list I want. Sorry about the poor explanation... am new to access. Thanks for anyones help

From the Records menu select Filter / Filter by Form.

This should give you the filtering facility you're after.

Sorry I stated it wrong in the beginning. It is when I "filter by form" that instead of getting a dropdown of all that had been previously entered I now only get "is null", "is not null". In previously saved versions of the database I get the entire list, but now it has changed to is null, is not null.
Thanks

Hello, I am trying to perform a LEFT JOIN on a table which may or may not have matching rows. If there are no matching rows, it returns NULL's for all the missing fields. Is there anyway of returning the default values for that table instead of NULL's, in a portable way?

I know this has been asked before and yes, I have read the section in the documentation about it. But, my question is: If I have setup mysql with strict_trans_tables, will MySQL allow "null" defaults in "not null" columns? If the answer is yes, will that information be reflected when I ask for metadata (column information, etc.)? Currently,...

Null as it relates to database development is one of life's little mysteries and a topic of total confusion for novices who venture out into the database world. A Null Value is not zero (0), a zero (0) length string, an empty Field, or no value at all - so exactly what is Null? The purpose of this Topic is hopefully to explain what a Null Value...
