Clear Filter
Elaine Heltman

I have a list form in which you can double-click an entry and open a detail form for that entry (I found the VBA code!). It looks like this method uses a filter to select the correct entry to display on the detail form. My detail form includes a combo box to search and go to another entry, but the double-click filter needs to be cleared first for the combo box to work. Of course you can do that manually, but I want want it happen when the user selects the combo box to search. I'm thinking the form needs to be refreshed to clear the filter and allow the combobox to run? Somehow? Thanks!

You could use the OnGotFocus event of your combo box to set the FilterOn property of the form to FALSE.

I tried it and the double-click docmd.openform event on the List form no longer works - it doesn't open to the selected record. But, the combo box filter is off!
