<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Nancy,</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I have not seen any reply to your post so far. Certain
points arising out of my experimentation on the subject are given below.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> When passing the filter criteria string as an argument
while opening the report via DoCmd method, no need to tinker
with the filter properties of the report through any of its internal events.
In any case whatever is done in the close event of the report does not
necessarily get saved for next occasion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Following steps are recommended -</DIV>
<DIV> (a) Open the report in design view</DIV>
<DIV> (b) In the properties dialog box, make sure that
-</DIV>
<DIV> (i) Filter is set to
<STRONG><EM>Blank</EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> (ii) FilterOn is set
to<STRONG><EM> No</EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> (c) Remove all statements reg filter properties (e.g
Me.Filter = "" and Me.FilterOn = False) from report's events.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> After the above steps, there should be no problem in
getting proper response if the following statements are
executed one after the other. (R_TEST is the name of report while Crs1
& Crs2 are criteria strings). <EM>The report should be in closed
state before executing fresh statement</EM> -</DIV>
<DIV>(1) DoCmd.OpenReport "R_TEST", acViewPreview, , Crs1 </DIV>
<DIV>(2) DoCmd.OpenReport "R_TEST", acViewPreview, , Crs2<BR>(3)
DoCmd.OpenReport "R_TEST", acViewPreview</DIV>
<DIV> (Statement 3 means no filtering
action)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Note - To help appreciate what is
happening - Open the report as per (1) or (2) and then change
its view to design view. On opening the property window, it would be
observed that Filter property carries the value Crs1 or Crs2 as the case may
be. FilterOn property continues as <STRONG><EM>No.</EM></STRONG> <EM><U>Do
not click save button at this stage.</U></EM> When the report
is finally closed and then opened in design view, the filter property will be
found <STRONG><EM>Blank</EM></STRONG>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [AccessD] Removing a filter
from a report</DIV><BR>I know this should be simple but I have tried
everything I can think of....and it was pushed to the back burner and now it
is on the hot plate again so...<BR>The problem is I have a few reports,
which users choose from a form. This form allows the user to choose the
report they want, the year (one year, ie 2003 or all years) for the data,
and the dept (either one dept. ie EDP or all depts), then a click of a
button and the report opens for viewing with the selected records. But
what seems to happen on occassion is that a<BR>"filter" will stick to the
report, thus making the next selection not work.<BR><BR>I selected the
reports using the good old stDocName for the report and stLinkCriteria for
the filter, ie DoCmd.OpenReport<BR>stDocName,,,stLinkCriteria<BR><BR>On the
close of each report I use Me.filter = "" and Me.applyFilter =
false<BR><BR>What am I doing wrong?<BR>PS, I also have the same problem with
forms when I want to open one report<BR>based on criteria from another
form.<BR><BR>TIA<BR><BR>Nancy Lytle<BR><A
