I would like to make filtering in a form as e-a-s-y as possible for a group pf people who have mostly never used Access. I need some help with an idea.
I have a form they fill out to enter their data... but then they later might have to come back in to edit the record or add additional data. There are only two fields on which they would navigate to records: MyName and ProjectNum.
I would like to have a header in the form... or something like this idea... that would have these two fields in it. With each of these, there would be a "Go To" button that would filter the records shown in the form to either those that are under their name or the single project record. I don't want to train them on "Filter By Selection" or "Filter By Form" because I hide the toolbars in this database. Also, as this is a shared database, I need their filter to be deactivated when they select another button or close the form.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. As you can see, I am just no good at this and reeeeeally need some help here. Thank you.
