:) Dear all,
I have a form with different fields, and a few hundred records.
My objective is to be able to use different filters at the same time:
(1) 2 filters on 2 fields that can take only 2 values ("F" or not "F" for the first field, TRUE or FALSE for the second).
I already have 2 sets of 2 checkboxes that control filters based on these fields.
(2) several filters on other fields where upon clicking a button the form requests the use to input (InputBox) a string that will be searched in this one field.
Until now, I used something like :
What are the issues?
(a) I can't use InStr with a text string defined elsewhere instead of a mere local variable (here, searchtext)
I would like to have something like:
(b) I can't use different filters at the same time. This is the biggest problem I have.
I would like to be able to click on a first button to filter all records for which the [Status] = "F", and then to click another button leading to the input box to search the [Report Issuer] field.
I don't want the second filter to replace the first one but the two filters to be applied simultaneously.
Thanks for reading ;)
