It is several months later and I am still trying to figure out why my filter options in several forms on the Access database I use are greyed out. I also tried making a find button, but that did not work.
The database "designer" (my boss) did not grey these filters out on purpose, but if you remember, there are 600 records and the only way to find one is to click through them all.
I found a Help item which said that filtering might be turned off in the form properties, but it was set to "allow filters".
The remove filter command is not grayed out, but I can't seem to remove any filter.
Does anyone have any ideas? Could a filter somehow be imbedded in the button that opens the form?
Does anyone know of a good Access forum where I can post this?
My other information is that in the form view, I have no menu bar etc , however if I right click in the title bar I get and option to Apply sort or silter or Remove sort or Filter. If I hit apply, it sorts all the records alphabetically. If I remove, they are in entry order.
What I can't do is right-click on last name, and filter by selection, or type in lastname to get the lastname.
Also, the table the form is made of has 2 fields label "primary key"? Could this be a problem?
This is driving me crazy! I think I have spent the work equivilant of 40 hours on this problem!
Sophia, is this Access 2002?
Also, the table the form is made of has 2 fields label "primary key"? Could this be a problem?
This means that two fields together comprise the primary key. (Unless I misunderstand - where are you seeing that they're the primary key?)
I can't find the answer to this...
I'm on a PC, and I'd like to know how to delete all the Calendar data from Microsoft Outlook. How do I do this?

I'm helping my husband craft a cover letter for a job listing that requires as one of the skills, "Knowledge of integrated online systems."
What might they mean?
Deean, does this site help at all?
Yes, it's perfect! Thanks Nicole.
TiVo users! This application rocks: [link]
It simply and easily converts TiVoToGo ".tivo" files to standard mpeg so that you can burn it to DVD without a special app, or watch it on any computer. It's PC only, I think.
