I am trying to open the form "Languages" with a diffrent record
source
to the "Contacts" form where I conducted the search or filter... .
I was wondering whether there was a vba code to select
ONLY ALL FILTERED records of my first form or the "Contacts"
and open this filtered set of records in my "Languages" form. I have a
key field on both tables named id_individual.
Most posts I have seen have only refered to linking just !!one
record!! to another form. I want to select all filtered records in my
continous form to pass on to another continous form.
Subsequently the idea would be to filter those records with the
selected languages.
At the moment I have been using unbound checkboxes with hiden
functions on the background to select each individual contact to be
stored as boolean. The selected records could then be opened in the
"language" form without any problem....
obviously this is a problem when there is over 100 contacts to select
from...
' Assigns Boolean>>>>>>>>>>>>>here is extract of the code used to select the checkboxes of each individual to then pass on to another form.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dim colCheckBox As New Collection
Public Function IsChecked(vID As Variant) As Boolean
Dim lngID As Variant
IsChecked = False
If IsNull(vID) = True Then Exit Function
For Each lngID In colCheckBox
If vID = lngID Then
IsChecked = True
Exit For
End If
Next lngID
End Function
-------------------------------
' some back end code
Private Sub Check11_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeySpace Then
KeyCode = 0
Call Command64_Click
End If
End Sub
------------------------------------------------
' This is the function placed behind the unbound checkbox found in the
Detail section of the form.
' This command saves the id.individual of the record selected as
boolean
Private Sub Command64_Click()
Debug.Print "id_individual = " & Me.id_individual
If IsChecked(Me.id_individual) = False Then
colCheckBox.Add CLng(Me.id_individual), CStr(Me.id_individual)
Else
colCheckBox.Remove (CStr(Me.id_individual))
End If
Me.check11.Requery
End Sub
--------------------------------------------------------------
' Function to collect the selected records
Private Function MySelected() As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To colCheckBox.Count
If MySelected <"" Then
MySelected = MySelected & ","
End If
MySelected = MySelected & colCheckBox(i)
Next i
End Function
---------------------------
' other backend code.. I assume to visualy select and deselect
checkboxes
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
' key hand
Select Case KeyCode
Case vbKeyUp
KeyCode = 0
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, , acPrevious
Case vbKeyDown
KeyCode = 0
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, , acNext
Case vbKeyReturn
If IsNull(Me.id_individual) = False Then
KeyCode = 0
Call EditMain
End If
End Select
End Sub
----------------------------------------------
' Finally the code to open the form with "Myslected" records
Private Sub expertise_Click()
'Dim strLinkCriteria As String
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = MySelected
If strWhere <"" Then
strWhere = "id_individual in (" & strWhere & ")"
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm "expertise_search", acNormal, , strWhere
End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not... interested in using sub_forms.. for the simple fact you
cannot view records in a continous mode..
I am just looking for a solution iether by selecting all the
checkboxes of each filtered contact as boolean or by connecting i.e
all ID_contact(s) of one filtered form to another filtered form..
I hope I am not asking too much...
