accmdfiltermenu error (1 Viewer)

[chrisjames25]

Hi

I have a form with a subform within it. The subform is a continuous form. I wanted to add some of the standard filter options you get on a datasheet so did some digging and the internet suggests adding code to the label header and use on click event for label and insert following code:

Private Sub Lbl_Tier1Status_Click()
DoCmd.GoToControl "category"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdFilterMenu
End Sub

Whenever i do this i get the following error:
Runtime error 2046. The filtermen isnt available now.

Im using access 2016. Is this a feature that has been removed or am i doing something wrong.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I just tested this and it works for me. I am using 2010 but I doubt has been removed in 2016.

If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

FInally figured out the issue and it was as basic as could be.

WIthin properties i had allow filters turned to no.

Stupid me.
