    query/filter by check box???

    ok, im troubleshooting. and i don't think i need to mess with the afterupdate event b/c i was going to have check boxes and then a button to run the query, the query is just going to rely on the state of the check boxes. In my troubleshooting, this code...

    query/filter by check box???

    I really fail to see why something so simple as this in a query criteria does not work..... IIf([Forms]![frm_qry_local_deliveries]![finished]=True,"GFS Brighton",[Delivery_Location]) That says if the check box is ticked, I want to see records where the Delivery Location is "GFS Brighton", else...

    query/filter by check box???

    right, i guess. but i got 3 filters i saved as queries b/c that seemed the only way to be able to make them available for use by the click of a button. the first one shows records in which the "Delivery Location" is "GFS Brighton" or "GFS Green Oake". The 2nd shows records in which the status...

    query/filter by check box???

    alright, i have about 3 filters that i want to include on a form that is built off of an initial query. but i want to be able to use any combination of the filters. my idea was to write a query/filter using IIf statements that rely on check boxes in the criteria. I'm trying to get just one to...

    deploying my database = overwhelmed.....

    no subforms and it does work in normal accdb. just not when i open as runtime. im fairly sure that's a runtime shortcoming. kind of a shame, the fbf is easier for less technical people to figure out and get doing custom filters.

    deploying my database = overwhelmed.....

    sorry for double posting but am i correct in the statement that filter by form does not work in runtime. i have come to that conclusion as i have gotten it added as a button but when i click on it, it does nothing.

    deploying my database = overwhelmed.....

    there should be a button below home page to close the current window. i used <button idMso="WindowClose" label="Close" enabled="true"/> and it's not showing. this button does exactly what i want when i add it to the QAT in full Access. so i wanted it in run-time.

    a google search brought me here http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1904722. a commands section at the top may be the answer??? i would assume u'd need a control section and a entry in the group section to add it to the ribbon. or is it just not possible to add this command...

    deploying my database = overwhelmed.....

    i don't know how to properly error handle (could prob learn) so I'm sticking with installing access on all computers and locking it down to the best of my abilities. Thanks everyone!

    deploying my database = overwhelmed.....

    okay, so you guys think i should stick with installing access 2007 on all computers? customizing the ribbon to protect it from stupid people? password protect? accde? i also liked the idea of the runtime b/c it seemed more secure really limiting the users ability to screw stuff up.

    deploying my database = overwhelmed.....

    I'm not all too worried about errors as i did very little vba, but how do you "create" the ribbons. can someone with little to no programming experience handle it? do you lose any of the filtering, sorting capabilites? i really wanted the filter by form on the home ribbon in access.

    I've got this nice little database that is now ready for use by our 10 or so office staff. i have been doing research on how best to deploy it. i have split it into a front end and a back end and put the back end on our server. i have referenced everything without drive letters. i was sure...
