Possible to set filter on subform from parent form before subform data loads
- by tbone
I have frmParentForm with multiple controls used to build a filter for frmSubForm.
On frmParentForm_Load, I am doing (simplified example):
Me.sbfInvoice_List.Form.filter = "[created_on] >= #" & Me.RecentOrderDateCutoff & "#"
Me.sbfInvoice_List.Form.FilterOn = True
The problem is, on initial load, it seems the subform load is occurring first, so the entire table is loaded.
Is there a way (in a different event perhaps) to properly set the subform filter from the parent form so it is applied before the subform does its initial data load? (The subform can exist on its own, or as a child of many different parent forms (sometimes filtered, sometimes not), so I'd rather not put some complicated hack in the subform itself to accomplish this.)
