Adding a filter to an Access Form












1














I have an Access DB that tracks all of my students that are going through a certain class i.e. MGMT224 18-01. I have built a filter that already sorts the class numbers and the student numbers for me that the form goes off of. However, when I created the form to see my students, I want to be able filter out just the particular class need and not all of my classes. Is this possible?

          Yes, this is possible.



          You may find this described in the Microsoft Support article of:
          Enable users to find a record by selecting a value from a list.



          The article describes how to create a list box or a combo box that can be used
          to find a record when a value is selected from the list, thus finding existing
          records without having to type a value into the Find dialog box
          (which is another possibility).



          You will need to first create a query, as described in the article:
          Create a simple select query.
