Question

Filter a VB6 Data Report using DataEnvironment

Asked by: Ramante

I have a simple Data Report code using DataEnvironment:

     - I use ODBC to access the database (connections)
     - in the Command1, i have a select script
             "SELECT VendorTable .* FROM VendorTable"
     - in the child Command2, I have another select  
             "SELECT VendorTableTrans .* FROM VendorTableTrans"
     - in DataReport, I inserted Group/Header and pull the needed fields and sub-totals
     - in the Form, all I have is a command button with the following code:

             Private Sub Command1_Click()
               DataReport1.Orientation = rptOrientLandscape
               DataReport1.Show vbModal
             End Sub
     
This works fine and displays all vendors with their subtotal

I want is to include a field in the form and modified my command button to filter out the selected vendor and in my Command1_Click() subroutine, to filter the report
