Learn how to add a list box or combo box. Access 2016 Access 2013 Access 2010 Access 2007. Headings in combo boxes appear only when the list is open. Microsoft Access; How can I make a combobox filter a. How can I make a combobox filter a datasheet subform. Team and also adjust the combo box name.

Try this Private Sub CheckBoxName_AfterUpdate() If Me!CheckCheckBoxName Then With Me!SubformControlName.Form.Filter = 'Complete = 'Whatever'.FilterOn = True End With End If End Sub i used the AfterUpdate event, so the code will run only when the box is checkmarked by the user; nothing will happen if the checkmark is cleared from the box. Think of the value after 'Filter =' as a WHERE statement (like in SQL) but without the WHERE keyword. Note: make sure you use the subform CONTROL name (in the main form), NOT the name of the subform object in the database window - they're not always the same.

Thank you - I seem to be well on my way and have been tinkering around with it.

One hurdle: Here is a simplified version of what I have in my Sub: Dim FilterTag as String If CheckBox.value = true then Filtertag1 = 'is null' Else FilterTag1 = '= ' ' ' EndIf. If Me![FilterToggleButton].Value = True Then With Me![punch list subform].Form.Filter = '[cross off date]' & FilterTag1 & 'AND [TaskType] =' & FilterTag2.FilterOn = True End With Else.Filteron=False Endif I want the.Filter line to basically set the [cross off date] argument in the statement to a blank space if the checkbox is false.

As if I were using FILTER BY FORM and I deleted the criteria in the [cross of date] field - I cannot seem to get this to work by setting it to '='' 'tina' wrote in message news:01a601c3bdb8$30e85330$. >try this >>Private Sub CheckBoxName_AfterUpdate() >>If Me!CheckCheckBoxName Then >With Me!SubformControlName.Form >.Filter = 'Complete = 'Whatever' >.FilterOn = True >End With >End If >>End Sub >>i used the AfterUpdate event, so the code will run only >when the box is checkmarked by the user; nothing will >happen if the checkmark is cleared from the box. >>think of the value after 'Filter =' as a WHERE statement >(like in SQL) but without the WHERE keyword. >note: make sure you use the subform CONTROL name (in the >main form), NOT the name of the subform object in the >database window - they're not always the same. >>hth >>>>-----Original Message----- >>Can someone get me started here?

As a follow up - I have gotten everything to work by using something similar to the following: I now have two check boxes in the Main form that will determine the criteria. I have it set up so the user will check the desired boxes and then hit a button that will toggle the filter on and off. The filter will be based on what check boxes are true. The second check box has a combobox associated with it, that included more criteria for the filter CHALLENGE: I am having some trouble coming up with an effective way to deal with the AND requirement in the.Filter string. When there are more than one WHERE arguments. I have been using a string variable called 'And1' that is set to either 'AND' or to ' ', depending on which check boxes are selected.

Does anyone know of an easier way to deal with this (how to include &'AND'& in the.Format string based on how many boxes are checked. I plan to add more check boxes and coudl really see my method getting out of control.

MY CODE: Private Sub FilterToggle_click () If Me!Check1.Value = True Then FilterTag1 = '[cross off date] is null ' And1 = 'AND' Else FilterTag1 = ' And1 = ' ' End If If Me!Check2.Value = True Then FilterTag2 = ' [Task type] = [ComboBox1]' Else FilterTag2 = ' And1 = ' ' End If If Me![FilterToggle].Value = True Then With Me![Subform].Form.Filter = FilterTag1 & And1 & FilterTag2.FilterOn = True End With Else With Me![Subform].Form.FilterOn = False End With End If End Sub 'Spidey3721' wrote in message news. >Can someone get me started here?

I have a microsoft access database. It has a customers table and a date of entry of each customer. I have a form which includes all customers and their info.

I want to make a combo box (drop down box) that would include months of the year (January, February, March, April.). When the user chooses April from the combo box, only the records which were added in that month will show up in the records table. Can this be done? I have been trying to do this for at least 3 days but no luck. Kind regards. Essentially, you need a drop down field that applies a filter functionality to filter corresponding records by the month.

Do the following depending on if you are using a subform or not. Main Form (no subform) - Use ApplyFilter • Create a combo box either with entered value list selections for all 12 months or with data from a Months table (using hidden or unhidden month number).

• Create a macro or VBA routine for an AfterUpdate or OnClick button event using the command ApplyFilter. Macro: ApplyFilter FilterName: (leave blank), Where Condition: ='=[Record Month Field]=' & Forms!MainForm!FilterMonthCombo & '', Control Name: (leave blank) VBA: DoCmd.ApplyFilter, '[Record Month Field]=' & Me.FilterMonthCombo & '' Main Form (with subform) - Use RecordSource • Create a combo box either with entered value list selections for all 12 months or with data from a Months table (using hidden or unhidden month number). • Create a VBA routine for an AfterUpdate or OnClick button event to dynamically filter the RecordSource of subform: VBA: Forms!MainForm!Subform.Form.RecordSource = 'SELECT * FROM Records WHERE [Record Month Field]=' & Forms!MainForm!FilterMonthCombo & ''.

Seems to me like a simple thing to do in MS Access. If you are comfortable with VBA, you can write a procedure on 'AFTER UPDATE' Event of the Combo box. This procedure should simply update the RecordSource of the FROM to 'SELECT * FROM [the table with the records you want to filter] WHERE [Field with month number] = ' & ComboxboxField.Column(0) SET your Combo box to have two columns, one with the month number and the other with the month's names.

When formatting your combo box, choose to hide the first column of data by setting its size to 0'. There are a few steps you need to, First go into the properties for the combo box and change the row source so that is has the number of the month in the first column and the month name in the second. You will need to make a table for this. Next, go into the properties of the combo box and change the column count to 2.

Then change the column widths so that the first column is 0. It should look like this - 0'; 2'. Now the combo box should list the month name in the drop down, but if you access it programmatically it will give you the number of the month.

That should get you started, from there depending on how you are getting that data you would need either a query that uses Month() to separate it out, or if you are using a child form you would need a field with month there to link off of. Hope this helps if it's not too late.
