    Question Filter Form from header click

    Hello,

    I have a product list that's organized into categories as a report. is there a way for the user to click on the category header and have the report filter to that category only? instead of creating a multi-select box and filtering from there, i'd like it if they could just click on the header within the report and have it filter from there.



    Thanks

    Reports are not really intended to be interactive but something like what you want is possible in ReportView, not PrintPreview. Can right click on a field to activate shortcut menu and input filter criteria.

    Might also be able to use VBA behind the section Click event to set report Filter property and requery the report. Never tried this.
