Run a query based on a list of account numbers within a drop box.... (1 Viewer)

So here is something that is going to test all - I need to work out if its possible for a query to run against the criteria within a list - so have the option to cut and paste a list off account numbers into say a form and on clicking a button the query runs looking at the account numbers in that form list - or is this a total dream!

What exactly is the purpose of the query?
You have a list of account numbers and with each of those you want to determine XXX?
You could put those account numbers in a separate table(temp even) and then set up a query between this and other tables. BUT the bottom line is the purpose of the query.

See if this helps. I use a class module to get the filter from a multi select listbox, but you could do a standard module if not good with classes. But the class should work on any listbox and takes a line of code.

The demo shows how to open a query and how to filter a form using the same listbox.
