Limit or filter a list box on a dropdown list selection

by "Mo" <beginner@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 19, 2008 at 10:59 AM

Allen;

I am looking for some code to filter a listbox using a drop down list. My 
list box shows several columns.

tag_id; TAG; Description; Manufacturer. for example



I would filter on tagid type where Left string of the first few characters

will indicate the tag type:

Example:

 mm03-ty-01 , m% would indicate a motor (Which have own set of re****ts); 
left$(Tagid,1) = m

sg01-FY-02 ; S% would indicate a switch.  (all back end tables are in SQL 
thus the % for a wild card)

 The list is filtered to all possible types that start with an S or M or 
anything else.

 Then I would use the Selected items to print a re****t the related re****t 
based on the Tag type.(M for motor

 Motors have their own re****t, switches have own re****ts Etc. Currently 
re****ts are in word, I'll have to recreate them as access re****ts as I
don't 
know how to print on word do***ent straight from Access. At any rate
re****t 
select/print criteria is based on the type of the element Id or Tag ID



 I would appreciate any help with real code example. .

 P.S: I have the print selected list items on a single re****t working
fine, 
but not on a designed re****t in Word. Would it be faster to make these
word 
forms into Access re****ts?

Thanks
