    I have 3 statues :

    First = the checkbox filter (PTP final approval) is true (The check box has check) and i see just on record in data sheet list . => This is OK


    Second = the checkbox filter (PTP final approval) is False (The check box doesn't have check) and i see two records in data sheet list . => This is OK
    Third = How can clear the check box value same as default ? to another words i want remove filter from (PTP final approval) column and see all records as well.
    I used Null and "" value but it didn't work.

    Note: I want use Macro for solving this issue and i don't use visual basic environment and learning complicated VBA codes.

    You can find a video for more information as below link (it is 5 MB Size)

    most people don't use macros so requirement for a macro answer will probably go unanswered.

    similarly, most will not visit an unknown site. You can zip your db and upload your zipped file to the forum if you want

    You seem to be suggesting that the checkbox is unbound and set to tri state so you can select null and is used as a filter to a form. For the filter to work, it needs to be

    "StatusbyPTP = " & me.chkBoxName & " OR " & me.chkBoxName & " is null"

    or as you suggest, just remove the filter.

    Note you have not provided field or control names, form names or described how your form is constructed, so you will need to change these to whatever you have

    Since you are already using a macro to set the filter, you should be able to change it to the above.

    I'm going to assume you use macro to run query. Then you would need a query that returns records for both checked and not checked. But how do you decide when to run this one? When the form is open and records are loaded, checking box that was checked will turn it to False, not Null. You have to click when False to turn it to Null. I think this would be unreliable.

    Maybe put an option frame on the form with 3 buttons and a frame label that describes what it is for. 1 button for query all checked, 1 for query all not checked, 1 for query both. When macro runs, it checks value of option frame.

    Why doesn't clicking on the drop-arrow in the datasheet view work?

    If you have multiple filter criteria, I'm not sure how to do this within a macro. That said, looking at your screenshot, I'm not sure how you can tell if the filter is applied or not. It looks like you have a Split Form, how do you apply the Filter criteria without editing the current record?

    Do you have a header to this form? Then all three conditions could be spelled out. (Checked, Unchecked, Both)
