Applyfilter problem

I have a query that simply looks at a yes/no field and if my continuous form shows it "ticked" it filters those records out. It also sorts by date at the same time.

I can run this as a form filter from the access menus easily enough by "loading from query" but here is the problem:

I have an option control with 2 choices on the form, one to run the filter query and one to reset it to all records.

Here is the line for "option 1"

DoCmd.ApplyFilter "qdfcurrmessages"

The fact that I am telling it use qdfcurrmessages seems to be ignored.
It just runs whatever the last filter that was used via the access menus.

A simple solution will let me sleep!

Thanks

Robin

RE: Applyfilter problem

Hi Robin,

We'd really need to look at your database to fully understand your problem. Even then, it would take quite a while to track down the problem and come up with a simple solution, and may require organising a consultancy day for you.

If you like, send the file to forum AT stl-training.co.uk and we can decide whether a consultancy day is required (no obligation).

Or, you may come up with a solution on your own after attending our Access VBA course and learn even more at the same time!

Regards, Rich

Hi Rich

It's ok, I've solved it.

It works fine once I just had everthing on the one form.

Previously, I had a subform and despite the fact that the option control was on the subform it didn't work.

Robin

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
