[AccessD] Selecting Filtered records in Datasheet

[Rocky Smolin]

David:

I just made a quick datasheet form and in the ApplyFilter event put MsgBox
Me.Filter and it displayed the filtering that I selected on the form.  So
that may give you access to the filters that the user has selected.

Just save that filter in a string every time they change the filtering and
the ApplyFilter event is triggered.

Will that work?

I hope so because I'm going to get a shot of bourbon now and start dinner.
:)

Thanks Stuart and Rocky,

The problem is that I am not in control of the filter.  It depends on how
the user filters the records using the Access functionality.  

Currently I do what Stuart is suggesting but this sets all records in the
forms recordset, not just the ones that are left after the user has applied
their filters.

I was hoping that Access stored the filter somewhere so that I could get it
and apply it to the base records.

Not as far as I know,  but I've done a similar thing before by just stepping
through  the filtered recordset and setting each one in turn.  I'll see if I
can dig up an example.
