Filter sub form by date - Microsoft Access / VBA

2 New Member

hi everyone,

i am trying to create a form which calls another form filtered according to the values in a text control and date control in the original form.
i am using this code to do so:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Private Sub GetTasks_Click()

    Dim strForm As String     'Name of form to open.

    Dim strAccField As String      'Name of the account field.

    Dim strMonField As String      'Name of the month field.

    Dim strHaving As String      'Where condition for OpenForm.

    Const conDateFormat = "\#dd\/mm\/yyyy\#"
 
    strForm = "frmPlannedTasks"

    strAccField = "account"

    strMonField = "month"
 
    If Not IsNull(Me.Account) Then

        If Not IsNull(Me.month) Then   'Both fields are filled.

            strHaving = strAccField & " = '" & Me.Account & "' AND " & strMonField & " = " & Format(Me.month, conDateFormat)

        End If

    End If
 
    DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, acNormal, , strHaving
 
End Sub

The correct filter details do seem to be passed as in the Filter field of the sub-form i get the following:
account = 'Academy Class' AND month = #10/04/2007#
But the sub-form appears empty.

When i run the query the form is based on manually with the same filters i do get results.

(i am quite new to access and VB so let me know if i should be posting any other info.)

any ideas?

thanks, naomi

Hi Naomi
Change your date format:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Const conDateFormat = "\#mm\/dd\/yyyy\#"

Access seems to ignore your local settings sometimes.

This is not a reandom thing Kepston.
I suggest you may both find (Literal DateTimes and Their Delimiters (#).) interesting reading.
