Filter by form in linked table database
Before splitting an Access database, the filter by form functionality worked
for all fields on a form. After the separation of the data from the forms/code only the combo box fields displayed valid choices (from value lists or queries) when the filter by form button was clicked. All other fields display 'Is Null' and 'Not Is Null' as the only choices. How to I reconnect the filtering function in the new split database? |

Filter by form in linked table database
kahunadude,
Well, splitting a database does not *break* it so something else must be going on. The first thing I would suggest you is Refresh the linked table. If that doesn't work please report back with a wee bit more informaton... a. Access version b. Are you using the filter by form on the toolbar OR do you have some code you are using? c. Are the combo boxes pulling values from tables? d. Do the other fields on the form except data? -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "kahunadude" wrote in message ...

"Is Null" and "Is Not Null" are all you see when there are more distinct values in the field then the limit set in "Edit/Find Options". The default value is 1000 -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |
