Hi Chris, Well, I can tell you that at the OOoForum.org site there are numerous examples of ways to set filters on forms . Using a text box for entry and a button to apply the filter is covered specifically, as is the use of combo and list boxes. A number of these threads include example database and script files that you can download and checkout on your machine.
Unfortunately there are some difficulties with the site that might make your finding these entries rather difficult, but these are being addressed. In the mean time, there are a number of example files that I can make available for you to download. These range from very simple filtering techniques to one that is rather advanced. My question would be which is most appropriate for you - all use StarBasic scripts called from user triggered events on the form. If you could give me an idea of your comfort level with scripting already I would be able to suggest which of the examples might be most appropriate. Let me know here and I will follow up with the links to the example files. Drew On 6/21/07, Chris Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Is there a way to set up a filter that can work with a text box and button? I'm trying to avoid the find record button and want to be able to have a text entry box on a form that will filter the data for the record entered into the text box when the button is pushed. Is this the right way to go about this or should I be trying to use a query with the text box and button setup? -- Chris Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
