Build Report Criteria via a Form w/list box, text box, date range

* NOTE: White spaces have been removed in some modules so that it would fit in Tek-Tips.
* The function BuildWhere_GetTag was modified on Aug 1, 2005
* to handle retrieving the field, operator and/or value from a control on the form
* (Where=
.[Field],String,Forms!Form1!YourControl).
*
* The function BuildWhere was modified on Feb 3, 2005 to add an
* extra parenthesis for a single select listbox.
* Also, BuildWhere_ControlType was changed to handle
* OptionButtons.
*
* The function BuildWhere was modified on Jan 19, 2005.
* Thank you TimS for discovering the problem.

A Report Critieria form allows the user to select (via list boxes, text boxes, etc) the items they want included/excluded on a report.

The function below will loop thru all of the controls on a Report Criteria form and build the Where clause for the report (without the word Where). It handles 0 or more list boxes, text boxes, and text boxes that represent ranges (i.e. date ranges). It also handles check boxes and options groups.

The header of the main module will explain how to use the functions and it gives examples. Briefly, this is how it works. The Tag property of the controls is the key. The function only processes controls whose Tag property contain the tag that begins with Where= . And it is formatted as: [color red]Where=TableName.FieldName,FieldType[,Operator,Value;][/color]

Where= identifies the tag within the Tag property
TableName.FieldName represents the name of the table and the field within the table contained in the report's recordsource
FieldType must be either the word String, Date, or Number
Operator is optional and can be one of these: = < > <= >= <> Like IsNull (or the name of a control that contains the operator)
; (semicolon) is optional and separates additional tags within the Tag property
Value is optional and represents a specific value
Note that each item, within this tag, is separated by commas Example

For example, suppose your form contains a multiselect list box containing 2 columns from the department table (tblDept):
1. Department ID (lngID)
2. Department name (strFullName)

Note that the department ID column is the bound column and is hidden.

Now assume that your report references the employee table (tblEmp) which contains the department id field (lngDeptID).

The user can limit the report to only include those employees that belong to the department(s) selected in the list box. Simply add to the Tag Property [color red]Where=tblEmp.lngDeptID,Number;[/color]. That's all there is to it. Now open the report like this:

Docmd.OpenReport "rptYourReport",acViewPreview,,[color blue]BuildWhere(Me)[/color]

The function doesn't care about how you name your controls except if the controls are 2 text boxes that represent a range. That is, where the user enters the Begin Range in the first text box and the End Range in the 2nd text box. In this case, the name of the control must end with _BeginR for Begin Range and must end with _EndR for the End Range.

To use these functions, simply create a new module and copy the code below and paste it into your new module.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

'$  Function:   BuildWhere
'*
'*  Author:     FancyPrairie
'*
'*  Date:       October, 1998
'*
'*  Purpose:    This routine will build a Where clause based on the items the user selected/entered on a
'*              Report Criteria form (or any type of form that the caller may use to build a Where clause
'*              based on the items selected).
'*
'*              This routine assumes that, in order for the control to be included in the criteria,
'*              it must satisfy the following conditions:
'*
'*                  1. Tag Property must contain:  Where=TableName.FieldName,FieldType[,Operator,Value]
'*                         a. TableName.FieldName is the name of the Table and field to filter on
'*                            (example: tblEmployee.lngEmpID)
'*                         b. FieldType must be one of the following words: String, Date
'*                            (Note: String and Date are the only ones that have special meaning at this time
'*                                   (' or #).  However, if the FieldType is not String or Date then set
'*                                   you can leave the FieldType empty or (anticipating future uses) set the FieldType
'*                                   to Long, Integer, Byte, Single, Double, Boolean.)
'*                         c. Operator (optional) can be one of the following: = <> < > <= >= Like IsNull Between.  Or it could specify a control on your form (i.e. forms!formName!YourControl)
'*                            (Default is =)
'*                         d. Value (optional) to be filtered on (more for option groups and check boxes)
'*                            (Note: This is primarily intended to be used by Option groups and check boxes.
'*                                   For example, suppose you have a check box.  If the box is checked, then
'*                                   the you need to set the Value argument equal to True and the FieldType
'*                                   should be set to Boolean.  Else Value should be set to False.)
'*                  2. Control must be Enabled
'*                  3. Control must be visible
'*                  4. If the control is part of a range, then the name of the control must end with
'*                     either _BeginR (begin range control) or _EndR (end range control)
'*
'*              As of this writing, the following controls are checked:
'*                  1. List Boxes (multiselect and single select)
'*                  2. Ranges (2 controls that are grouped together (i.e. Begin and End Dates)
'*                  3. Text Boxes
'*                  4. Combo Boxes
'*                  5. Option Groups
'*                  6. Check Boxes
'*
'*  Arguments:  frm (form)
'*              ----------
'*              Represents the form (Report Criteria form) that contains the controls
'*              from which the Where clause is to be created.
'*
'*              varCtl (ParamArray)
'*              -------------------
'*              Indicates which controls you want checked.  If this argument is missing then
'*              this routine loops thru all of the controls on the form searching for the ones
'*              whose tag property is set accordingly.  Else it only checks the ones passed by the caller.
'*
'*              NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE..NOTE
'*
'*              This routine assumes that the Where clause will include the AND statement between each set of statements.
'*              For Example, (strLastName = 'Smith') AND (strFirstName = 'Justin')  However, there are situations where
'*              you may want the Where clause to include the OR statement between each set of statements.  For example,
'*              (strLastName = 'Smith') OR (strFirstName = 'Justin')  In this case you need to tell this routine to use
'*              OR rather than AND.  Therefore, the first argument in this ParamArray should be " OR ".
'*
'*  Control Examples:
'*
'*              ListBox
'*              -------
'*                Visible ........ Yes
'*                Enabled ........ Yes

'*                Enabled ........ Yes
'*                Tag ............ Where=tblEmployee.dteBirth,Date,>;
'*
'*              Range
'*              -----
'*                Text Box (Begin Date Range: Name must end with _BeginR)

'*                  Enabled ... Yes
'*                  Tag ....... Where=tblEmployee.dteHire,Date;

'*                Text Box (End Date Range: Name must end with _EndR)
'*                  Name ...... txtHireDate_EndR
'*                  Visible ... Yes
'*                  Enabled ... Yes
'*                  Tag ....... (not used...function relies on tag property of BeginDateRange text box)
