multiple condition queries
morning all
hopefully someone out there can offer some assistance i am building an access application in which i wish to be able to intially look at all the data in a form view (sorted that bit out), and then be able to use a variety of drop downs to "filter" the data based on if anythng is or isnt selected in the drop downs ive got all the drop downs sorted out the problem comes in the query....... I want to be able to use 1 query and in that where i have a field i can either filter on it or not at the moment i have like "*" & [filter value] &"*". however this does not bring back all the results. How can i have it that this is bring back everythign or filter as required thanks stuart |

multiple condition queries
See:
Search form - Handle many optional criteria at: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-62.html The article explains how to set up a search form with several unbound controls where you can enter the criteria. It then builds a filter string based on the boxes where you entered something. The sample database illustrates how to apply that to a form, but you can use it as the WhereCondition for OpenReport if you want to do that. Download the sample, and spend some time pulling it apart. It really is worth learning this technique. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
