    Question Multiple filter with unbound text boxes

    Hello all,



    The layout: I have form1 listed in continuous view. I have about 10 fields being listed. I have unbound text boxes for each field in the form header designated as a filter for each field.

    Ideal world: Have each filter update records as you type. But I would also like for a "cascade" effect on the filters as well. Being that I can type in a few letters in FilterField1, and type in a few letters in FilterField2 and it would only display the records where the criteria is met for both filters.

    Anyone has any references on this?

    What I'm not looking for: Only applying 1 filter at a time for 1 field. I have this setup now, but would like it to be more versatile allowing several fields to be filtered at once.

    Any help is great, thanks!

    This tutorial describes one way. When using multiple inputs, you will need to build a string that concatenates the values as WHERE criteria. This is not described in the video.
