Re: Access module does not continue past the Filter Method

Allen,

Thank you for your reply. I tried both of your suggestions, but neither
fixed my problem. I did verify that the "decompile" switch did decompile my
program. I also added the "Dirty" code, but this problem appears even when
the record is not "Dirty".

Nonetheless, I had not thought of either of your suggestions, and I
appreciate your help. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Decompile a copy of the database by entering something like this at the
command prompt while Access is not running. It is all one line, and include
the quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"
Then compact the database.

You have not actully set the FilterOn property. Additionally, it may not
work as expected if the form is dirty with a record that cannot be saved
(e.g. required field missing, or validation rule not met.)

Try something like this:
Public Sub Apply_Tech_Filter()
With Forms![Technical Form]
If .Dirty Then .Dirty = False
.Filter = "RequestType = 1"
.FilterOn = True
End With
Debug.Print "Past the Filter"
End Sub

(We are assuming that RequestType is a Number type field.)

I have a subroutine in an Access Module that creates and applies a filter.
When I call the subroutine, it does apply the filter, giving no error
messages. But, the program stops after the filter is applied. It does
not
continue to process subsequent commands. Please provide any insight into
why
this is happening.

The code is:

Public Sub Apply_Tech_Filter()
Dim RequestType As Integer
Request_Type = 1
Forms![Technical Form].Filter = "RequestType = " & Request_Type
Debug.Print "Past the Filter"
End Sub

PROBLEM: It does not proceed to the "Debug.Print" Line.
NOTE: RequestType is a field on the "Technical Form" Form.
