Filter with multiple values

[paloma.rz]

Hi guys! my problem is refered to filtering a subquery with a list box with multiple select items. I saved all the data in a string, separating the values with comas, and then set the filter. But it wont work when i select more than one value.
The listbox has 3 strings to choose, "Ordinario", "integrazione", "Speciale", and the column name is "Categoria".
For now my code looks like this:

Private Sub btnSearch_Click()
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strSearch As String
Dim Task As String


Me.DB_Milestone_subform.Form.FilterOn = False


For Each varItem In Me!ListCategoria.ItemsSelected
strSearch = strSearch & "," & Me!ListCategoria.ItemData(varItem)



Next varItem


If Len(strSearch) = 0 Then
Task = "Select * from DB_Milestone"
Else
strSearch = Right(strSearch, Len(strSearch) - 1)
MsgBox (strSearch)
Task = "Select * from DB_Milestone where ([ID] in ( " & strSearch & " ))"
'MsgBox (Task)
End If

'I created Task string but for now i couldnt use it on the filter


Me.DB_Milestone_subform.Form.Filter = " Categoria = ( '" & strSearch & "')"
Me.DB_Milestone_subform.Form.FilterOn = True


'DoCmd.ApplyFilter Task


'This part didnt even work. im new at programming


End Sub

Could anyone help me please??

You aren't using In for the filter, and text values need delimiters. This isn't exactly what you're doing, but building the filter would be the same:

note you need the text version.

If sWhere = "1=1" Then
  Me.FilterOn = False
Else
  Me.Filter = sWhere
  Me.FilterOn = True
End If
end sub

I can't see how this relates to the issue at hand.
