FIltering Subform based on User Entry

[Joe Williams]

I have a main form with a subform listing all of our employee names. How can
I put a text box on the main form where the user will begin typing in a name
and the subform will requery itself and show only those records that match
what was entered?

Thanks

Joe

Joe,

Use the following criterion in the query being the subform's recordsource:

Like Forms![MyForm]![txtName] & "*"

so it filters on the control entry in the form (substitute with the actual
names).

Then, put this line of code behind the textbox's After Update or On Change
event:

Me.SubFormName.Requery

(substitute with the actual subform name).

HTH,
Nikos
