What is wrong with my statement?

[Megadeth]

I'm connecting to Call Accounting database and attempting to create a front end for it. I have a front end in Access, but I'm using this opportunity to attempt some .NET programming.

The current issue I am having is with filtering. I can filter based on one source but when I attempt to use multiple sources in my filter it doesn't do anything.


Me.Callacct2BindingSource.Filter = ("trunk = '" & Me.Field2TextBox.Text & "'") And ("date = '" & Me.DateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("MM/dd") & "'")

*EDIT*

I was playing with some ideas and got it.

Me.Callacct2BindingSource.Filter = "trunk = '" & Me.Field2TextBox.Text & "'" & " and date = '" & Me.DateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("MM/dd") & "'"

semicolon instead of AND, I think

EDIT:NM I was thinking objectdatsource filterexpressions

it's crazy, it doesn't do anything... I can continue to use the program and use the other filters. If I try to use the problem filter, not only does nothing happen but code that appears after it in the sub does not execute. I put a message box code in afterward and it never happens. If I put the message box code in above the problem code the message box happens but I'm still left without filtering.

Your AND is outside the quotes, so you have turned it into a boolean expression, basically making it say .Filter = False.

Try this instead:
Me.Callacct2BindingSource.Filter = ("trunk = '" & Me.Field2TextBox.Text & "') And (date = '" & Me.DateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("MM/dd") & "'")

Doh, you figured it out before I composed my answer 😉

Whoa, you seriously need to look into LINQ if you're using the .NET framework.
