Hi,

I have great form that works on query called "all orders" (= this quer
shows what is in table "orders"). I have another query (that had th
same columns) called "new orders" (= this query shows only unshippe
orders from table "orders").

The form is used for inputing data to "orders" table, and also fo
searching for data. How can I create a copy of the same form that wil
show only "new orders" query data?

Thank you!

Petr

Click to expand...

It's not really necessary to do so; you can instead use the Filter
property of the form to filter the recordsource to display only new
orders, if you wish. If you want a separate form, simply select the
form on the Forms window (without opening it), and Ctrl-C to copy,
Ctrl-V to paste. Rename the form and change its Recordsource property
to the new orders query.
 
I tried to use "filter by selection" and "filter by form" and if wa
giving me bad results.

How can I filter my data when the criterium for filtering is i
subform? (it is checkbox)
If the "shipped" checkbox is unchecked... I want the line of the PO t
be shown. (as well as info about customer... this is in the mai
form...not subform)

So, when the PO is fully shipped (=all lines of PO have checkbo
checked)and it will not show anything in subform, not even in for
(PO#, customer name).... it will not be viewable.

If PO is partially shipped, it will show everything except shippe
lines.

Any suggestions?

FYI:
The table "orders" has customer name, PO#, date (this is used fo
form)
The table "orderDetails" have productName, QTY, ExtPrice, Shippe
checkbox... etc. (this is used in subform)

"Orders" have one to many relationship with "orderDetails"

Thanks
