[dba-SQLServer] Continuous Forms and Filters

Hi Jim,

Just to confirm, do I take from your reply that the built in filtering
doesn't work with an SQL BE?

Hi David:

This is not a difficult process but it does take a bit of coding to
accomplish and I posted code samples on that effort earlier this year. IMHO
it would be unwise to have a synchronized connection to a SQL BE an
asynchronous connect model would be my recommendation. If you would like the
posts, just ask and I will see if they easy to find.

Hi Listers.
 

Access 2010 with SQL2008 BE.  I have a continuous form of client details. I
already have a search combobox for finding a client name but sometimes I may
want to filter for all clients in a city, or in a street. With an Access BE
I can right click on the rows in a continuous form and use the filter
function to filter based on a number of tests. This doesn't seem to work
with an SQL BE.. 

Does anyone have a solution for this? My only thought is to have a line of
filter controls at the top of the screen and pass these through to the
stored procedure but this seems clunky.
