Clarification on the use of forms

[niki]

Hello,

I want to create a dropdown list to filter my results shown on a form. Sort of like a selection filter but for the dates (select offers earlier than... or from the past week,from the past 2 weeks...), or type of activity (identified with an acronym) ... Anyways the problem is the same for all of these dropdown lists which act as a filter on the data shown...

I am not confident on which angle I should see the problem...
Could someone attach a simple exemple of a filtering form like the one I am trying to do? I know there must be thousands of example, given the easy level of my question!!!

Thanks for your help to you all!!!

Nico,

Check out the sample (example.zip) db I've enclosed.
It's just a very simple setup, but I hope this is what you've been searching for.
I've used a combobox on the main form as a selection filter, the results are shown in the sub-form.

Grtz,

Peter.
