VBA, Apply Filter

right off the bat the two different filters are not the same.  my guess is that the Segment field is a string, right? if it is, that's why the second filter works and not the first. the second filter has apostrophes buffering the Segment form control, the first statement does not.

a type mismatch usually occurs when you are trying to compare "apples to orages", or Strings to Numeric data. if access is expecting a string, and instead is getting a number with no apostrophes, it'll send you the type mismatch error.

have you tried putting the apostrophes in your first filter and run it again?

Hi,

You are right, but I made a mistake when showing the first function, when putting strings overthere, I still get the same message. So the function I put there is:

DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "[Segment] = '" & Forms!SalesfunnelSegment.Segment & "'" Or "[LeadLaf].[Code] '= " & Forms!LeadsLaf.Code & "'"

So that's probably not it. Any more ideas?

Thx
BJ

first off, the

"'" Or "[LeadLaf].[Code] <--two extra quotes around Or

should probably be replaced by

"' Or [LeadLaf].[Code]  <--removed the two extra quotes

now you've got an apostrophe in a wrong spot! :)  

check

[LeadLaf].[Code] '=  <--note the apostrophe is before the equals

should be


[LeadLaf].[Code] = '  <--note the apostrophe is after the equals

does that work?  i usually don't work with filters, so i'm just throwing out ideas here on what is normally syntactically correct/incorrect...

Ok, the comma stuff is not the problem....
This is how th comma's should be and he still gives the "Type Mismatch" error.

DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "[Segment] = " & "'" & Forms!SalesfunnelSegment.Segment & "'" AND "[Code] = " & "'" & Forms!LeadsLaf.Code & "'"

In this line all the comma's are correct, but still I get the error. I think he makes it a problem since there are two criterea and I don't know how to solve that.

Cheers
BJ

BramJan:

You have several open questions:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?qid=20130128
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?qid=20244946
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?qid=20133050
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?qid=20258924

My usual script:

To assist you in your cleanup, I'm providing the following guidelines:

1.  Stay active in your questions and provide feedback whenever possible. Likewise, when feedback has not been provided by the experts, commenting again makes them receive an email notification, and they may provide you with further information. Experts have no other method of searching for questions in which they have commented, except manually.

2.  Award points by hitting the Accept Comment As Answer button located above and to the left of that expert's comment.

3.  When grading, be sure to read:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/cmtyQuestAnswer.jsp#3
to ensure that you understand the grading system here at EE. If you grade less than an A, you must explain why.

4.  Questions that were not helpful to you should be PAQ'd (stored in the database for their valuable content?even if not valuable to you) or deleted. To PAQ or delete a question, you must first post your intent in that question to make the experts aware. Then, if no experts object after three full days, you can post a zero-point question at community support to request deletion or PAQ. Please include the link(s) to the question(s).
CS:  https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qList.jsp?ta=commspt
At that point, a moderator can refund your points and PAQ or delete the question for you. The delete button does not work.

5.  If you fail to respond to this cleanup request, I must report you to the Community Support Administrator for further action.

Our intent is to get the questions cleaned up, and not to embarrass or shame anyone. If you have any questions or need further assistance at all, feel free to ask me in this question or post a zero-point question at CS. We are very happy to help you in this task!


thanks!
