Form Filtering

[Neil Warwick]

I am developing an Access application for my company using
Office XP developer. Everything is working fine with my
application except for when I distribute copies to my co-
workers using the runtime files.
The application uses the form filtering feature to provide
a flexible method of retrieving records from the database
using different search criteria, unfortunately this
doesn't seem to work with the runtime versions - am I
doing this wrong, or is is not possible to 'filter by
form' in a runtime database?
If not I assume that I need to use some sort of VBA
routine to do the same thing, I'm pretty new to VBA, so
any help there would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Neil

Filter-by-form involves switching to a form view that is not possible in the
runtime.

For alternatives, search for the phrase "query by form"
