Hi -
I am a relative novice to Access and I want to place a button on a form whereby I can filter that form by any one, two, or all, of three fields ("Rx_ID", "First name", and "Last Name"). What I want to allow is for a user to click a "Filter by..." button which activates a dialogue box that allows valid filter ctiteria to be entered into any one, two or all three fields - then to click "OK" and have the form filtered by whatever criteria has been set (or if the record - or set of records - does not exist, to return a "Sorry but no records exist based on those search criteria"). I can do this in FileMaker - but don't know how in Access...
I have found the Me.Filter command...
Private Sub FilterBy_Click()
Me.Filter =
End Sub
...but cannot find how to apply it to my situation
"[Rx_ID] = " & "[First name] = " & "[Last Name] = "
I know will I also need another button to turn the filter off - but at least the code for that is straightforward... (I hope)...
Private Sub FilterOff_Click()
Me.Filter = ""
Me.FilterOn = False
End Sub
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
