Collate information from a form and search for it on another

[james_liv]

Afternoon,

2nd post of the day. As I said on my other post I am converting or re-writing an old Lotus Approach database.

I have a customer database which books repairs to people properties.

On a seperate form from the main one I have it so you can choose to enter a date and time (AM or PM) and it searches for all the jobs that were on that matches displays it on a kind of summary form, a front sheet so to speak. I also have a field saying "Book Delivery Y/N" so obviously it checks this field too.

Any ideas how I might achieve something similar? I just need to be able to select the criteria for the search then display it but im really not sure how I build this into a query.

Many thanks

adding Time component may or may not produced the desired result you need.

you create a Query with the Criteria using the Form's Control, eg:

Select * from Table Where DateField = Forms!YourFilteringFormName!DateTextbox;

The time element is just AM or PM.

Im not sure what you mean. Do you have an example?

Thank you,

I think this has provided the solution.

I put together a quick test database and it worked so I'll try to implement it tomorrow and post back an update

Thanks all, took a bit for me to understand how that worked but like most things, through trial and error of the solution arnelgp suggested I did manage to get it working.

Cheers
