Question

Multiple Parameter Query Form

Asked by: greentatertot1970

I have a table (tblCourses) which has 16 yes/no fields.
I would like to search against this table and have a parameter query.
I have created a form for the input of multiple criteria options against the parameter query so the user doesnt have to step through 16 modal dialog boxes every time they run the query.
Ive tried the obvious use of option (radio) buttons on the form and placing those in the criteria row of the query& y/n check boxes, toggle buttons&
The results of the quesr arent not what I am looking for or expect. It seems like the join needs to be manipulated but there is just a single table.
If I select ynA the results are all those records where ynA is checked.
If I select ynA and ynB Ill get all records where ynA is check and ynB is checked but none where ynA and ynB are both checked&
There are 16 yes/no fields& Id like to accommodate all possible combinations.
Attached are the relevant tables/queries. (Change extracted extension from TXT to AACDB).
Thank you for any help!

Say you have:

Select FName From Table1     <-- Table1 has 16 Yes/No Fields

Select FName From Table1 Where YesNo1 = IIF(fnYesNo1()="<All>", [YesNo1], fnYesNo1())

In a module have,

Function fnYesNo1() As Variant
On Error GoTo 10

Dim Temp As Variant

Temp = Nz(Forms!MyForm!optYesNo1, "<All")

MsgBox Temp    'remove it after a test

fnYesNo1 = Temp

Exit Function
10:
fnYesNo1 = "<All>"
End Function

After it worked for first one, add it for the others one at the time, like:

Select FName From Table1 Where YesNo1 = IIF(fnYesNo1()="<All>", [YesNo1], fnYesNo1()) And YesNo2 = IIF(fnYesNo2()="<All>", [YesNo2], fnYesNo2())

Function fnYesNo2() As Variant
On Error GoTo 10

Dim Temp As Variant

Temp = Nz(Forms!MyForm!optYesNo2, "<All")

fnYesNo2 = Temp

Exit Function
10:
fnYesNo2 = "<All>"
End Function

Add a Yes/No field called PickFlag to tblCourses . Clear it when you open the 15-checkbox form.

 In the on_click event of the Exit button to this form, include a series of conditional events - one for each checkbox- saying, in effect, 'if checkbox = true then tblCourses!PickFlag = true'.  

Then just select those courses whose PickFlag is true for your report.

re:> You lost me at FName...

FName is just the name of a field you may have in Table1. You may have just:

Select YesNo1, YesNo2 From Table1 Where YesNo1 = IIF(fnYesNo1()="<All>", [YesNo1], fnYesNo1()) And YesNo2 = IIF(fnYesNo2()="<All>", [YesNo2], fnYesNo2())

Try this! used four togglebuttons and a command button to build and run query.

Some design modification: if field is ynCOACH, then togggle button is tglynCOACH, to automate the query sql

Try this model by selecting from the 4 toggle buttons and click Try me. All inside the blue recangle.
By following the same naming standard you may include all the 16 togglebuttons.
