I have returned with yet another Question regarding MS Access and its VBA environment.
I'm currently constructing a database in MS Access 2016.
The main View headview
has a combobox viewcombo
and a subform listview
.
What I need: I want the combobox to filter the listview depending on the chosen entry of it.
What I did:
Private Sub ViewCombo_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Proc_Error
If IsNull(Me.ViewCombo) Then
Me.ListView.Form.Filter = ""
Me.ListView.Form.FilterOn = False
Else
Dim selectedOption As AccessObject
selectedOption = Me.ViewCombo
Select Case selectedOption
Case selectedOption = "open"
Me.ListView.Form.Filter = "Column1='" & "'"
End Select
End If
Proc_Exit:
Exit Sub
Proc_Error:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " Setting Filter:" & vbCrLf & Err.Description
Resume Proc_Exit
End Sub
Note: The Me.ListView.form.Filter = "Column1='" & "'"
is supposed to be empty if the chosen entry of viewCombo
is open
, the available entries are Open, Closed, ovedue, cancel and "as seleced
However, it seems that Access doesnt work this way. How do I properly write the select case statements?
Edit 1:
The Values of the ComboBox ViewCombo
are manualy written in it. Depending on the selection of a value, different Filters are to be set on the ListView
Example:
The selected value is open
The Listview is filtered with the statement: Column1 is empty
The selected value is closed
The Listview is filtered with the statement Column 1 is not empty, Column 2 contains the value 10
(10 is an ID for a status, these are given to me by the employees I work with, those are internal and have no meaning for the database)
Hope that helps to clarify the situation.
You will use the value of the combobox, not the combobox as an object, similar to:
If IsNull(Me.ViewCombo.Value) Then
Me.ListView.Form.Filter = ""
Me.ListView.Form.FilterOn = False
Else
Select Case Me.ViewCombo.Value
Case Is "open"
Me.ListView.Form.Filter = "[SomeFieldName] = 'open'" ' or other filter value.
End Select
Me.ListView.Form.FilterOn = True
End If
