How do you filter a report based on a value in a text box

As above

RE: How do you filter a report based on a value in a text box

Hi Joanne,

Thank you for your question.

I believe the only way to do it would be through Access VBA. I have tried various properties of the report and the text box itself.

You could try and create the calculated field in a query and then name and save the query.

Create a query based on that query and add all the fields and add a parameter to the calculated field.

Name and save the second query and create a report based on the second query.

When you view the report it should ask you for a value.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
