How to Filter a Microsoft Access Subform With a Combo Box

from Computer Learning Zone · host Richard Rost

In this episode, I will show you how to set up a form in Microsoft Access where you can filter a subform displaying contact history simply by selecting a customer from a combo box. We will walk through building an unbound parent form with a combo box, embedding a contact subform, and using both non-VBA and simple VBA methods to filter the displayed contacts based on the selected customer. We also discuss some limitations of each method and how you can achieve more flexibility with a small amount of VBA.
