Listbox coding problem

[george 16-17]

Greetings,

I am very new to Access and VBA. I am trying to add a multiselect list box
(http://allenbrowne.com/ser-50.html) and code to a search form
(http://allenbrowne.com/ser-62.html) that I modified based on Allen Browne's
examples, but I can not seen to get the code right, as I keep on getting a
runtime error. The list box (lstLocation) filters the “Location†field in the
report section.
Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my code:
Private Sub cmdFilter_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim lngLen As Long
Const conJetDate = "\#mm\/dd\/yyyy\#"

'List box code**********************************************
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strDescrip As String
Dim strDelim As String

strDelim = """"

'Loop through the ItemsSelected in the list box.
With Me.lstLocation
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
If Not IsNull(varItem) Then
'Build up the filter from the bound column (hidden).
strWhere = strWhere & strDelim & .ItemData(varItem) &
strDelim & ","
'Build up the description from the text in the visible
column. See note 2.
strDescrip = strDescrip & """" & .Column(1, varItem) & """, "
End If
Next
End With

'Remove trailing comma. Add field name, IN operator, and brackets.
lngLen = Len(strWhere) - 1
If lngLen > 0 Then
strWhere = "[Location] IN (" & Left$(strWhere, lngLen) & ")"
lngLen = Len(strDescrip) - 2
End If

If Not IsNull(Me.txtCostCenter) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Cost Ctr] = """ & Me.txtCostCenter & """)
AND "
End If

If Not IsNull(Me.txtDeptName) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Dept Name] Like ""*" & Me.txtDeptName &
"*"") AND "
End If

'Another text field example. Use Like to find anywhere in the field.
If Not IsNull(Me.txtEmpName) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Name] Like ""*" & Me.txtEmpName & "*"") AND "
End If

If Not IsNull(Me.txtInjuryCode) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([OMS Inj Code] Like """ & Me.txtInjuryCode &
"*"") AND "
End If

'Date field example. Use the format string to add the # delimiters and
get the right international format.
If Not IsNull(Me.txtStartDate) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Date of Inj] >= " & Format(Me.txtStartDate,
conJetDate) & ") AND "
End If

'Another date field example. Use "less than the next day" since this
field has times as well as dates.
If Not IsNull(Me.txtEndDate) Then 'Less than the next day.
strWhere = strWhere & "([Date of Inj] < " & Format(Me.txtEndDate +
1, conJetDate) & ") AND "
End If


'See if the string has more than 5 characters (a trailng " AND ") to

You don't say on which line the error occurs or what error you are getting.
Without that, it is almost impossible to hazard a guess.

Your code is not putting an AND between the criteria for each field.
Also, you are putting quotes around all your items. If any of the fields
are numeric, you should not include the quotes.

To see what strWhere looks like before you try to make it the filter, but a
breakpoint on the line:
Me.Filter = strWhere

Then run the app. When it gets to that line it will stop and the VB Editor
will come up with that line highlighted. You can then type:

?strWhere

in the immediate window and you will see its content and verify it is correct.

You are correct...I forgot the "AND" on the listbox code. It is working now.

Thanks so much!!!!

Glad I could help.
I do things like that because I am lazy. If I finding myself doing the same
thing a second time, it becomes a sub or function.

We lazy people are the most inventive because we are always looking for ways
to do less work <g>

Thanks again. That does look like a better method. I will add that in as my
search code expands.

Good. FYI, here is a function I use in these situations. An example follows.

Dave,

I appreciate the prompt responses.

You are correct...I forgot the "AND" on the listbox code. It is working now.

Thanks so much!!!!

george

:

Your code is not putting an AND between the criteria for each field.
Also, you are putting quotes around all your items. If any of the fields
are numeric, you should not include the quotes.

To see what strWhere looks like before you try to make it the filter, but a
breakpoint on the line:
Me.Filter = strWhere

Then run the app. When it gets to that line it will stop and the VB Editor
will come up with that line highlighted. You can then type:

?strWhere

in the immediate window and you will see its content and verify it is correct.

Opps...sorry.

Me.Filter = strWhere.

You don't say on which line the error occurs or what error you are getting.
Without that, it is almost impossible to hazard a guess.

Greetings,

I am very new to Access and VBA. I am trying to add a multiselect list box
(http://allenbrowne.com/ser-50.html) and code to a search form
(http://allenbrowne.com/ser-62.html) that I modified based on Allen Browne's
examples, but I can not seen to get the code right, as I keep on getting a
runtime error. The list box (lstLocation) filters the “Location†field in the
report section.
Any help would be appreciated.

Agreed!

I switched from Excel to Access to manage the vast spreadsheets I deal with.
Even though I am struggling with the Access learning curve, I already realize
the benefit. I like working "smarter not harder" because I am lazy also!

Again, your assistance was deeply appreciated.
