Above the datatable, of documents, I have a full text search input field. When I get the results (resultDocuments) I put them in using:
table.clear().rows.add(resultDocuments).draw();
While the filtering is still happening, the filter fields all go blank. How do I make the keep their values?
Thank you.

I am trying to stop a name from appearing in a listbox that is linked to a query. The listbox shows records and fields from a table.
I am unable to just type the following in the criteria field:
Not "Administration"
or
<> "Administration
I am not sure why but I think it might work if i add it in code instead. How do I do this.
Thanks
Probably the field contains invisible characters or leading/trailing spaces. You can check this easily if you change the criteria to = "Administration". If query returns no rows, the data is not exactly equal. You can try criteria Not Like "*Administration*", but this way may not work for all data. Correct condition is <> "Administration"
You have to edit the listbox RowSource property, as follows:
1- show the listbox properties window
2- go to RowSource property under 'Data' Tab
3- click the button next to RowSource property (which will open a Query Editor window)
4- Add the condition:
Trim([ColumnName])<>"Administration"
where you replace ColumnName with your actual column name
I hope this helps out.
(Sorry I'm still using an older MS-Access release nevertheless you should get the idea).
I have been searching for a couple of hours but I can only see examples of combo boxes on forms filtering tables that are based from queries.
My table (which I have put on a subForm) is from a static datasheet that I imported into Access from Excel so therefore does not come from a query.
I want to use a combobox (or a textbox) so that the user can enter in the reference number and it will filter the table (rather than using the filters already provided (as they just get confused))
Is this even possible? I should add, the reason why I want the table showing (and not a query from it) is that I want the user to be able to edit the table once they have found the reference number they are looking for.
Any help would be much appreciated.
You can use the form's filter method to programatically filter the rows. careful though, as you probably are going to need a mechanism to remove the filter, like a separate button as it won't be obvious. OR, you may still want to keep the form's "Navigation Buttons" property to true. this would then have allow the user to see that the rows are filtered, and also allow them to remove the filter.
Use the form's filter methods to filter. so say they want to filter on a field called "value1" with value of 1, it would be like this. if your filter condition is text, then use single qoutes around them.
Me.Filter = "[value1] = 1"
Me.FilterOn = True
I think your question is more about a ComboBox updating a view, right. I don't think this really has anything to do with Excel, right. If this is correct, please see the link below.

I am creating a data-merge document in InDesign.
There are various tables that I've created which only show as many rows as there is actual data in the field, through some creative table and cell styles.
Now I've been asked to only have an entirely separate table only show if there is information in any of those fields.
I'm at a total loss. With the way the current structure is set up, I can cause it to not display any text, but it still shows empty header cells and one line of empty row cells.
Pre-DataMerge, with the data fields
Post-Datamerge, with the resulting empty cells
Any creative ideas to hide that table? I was thinking there might be a way to hide the entire text field, if not the table. Maybe a script? I tried one that deletes blank tables, but that didn't seem to work after the data-merge was run.
I am not sure you can get that level of processing with InDesign datamerge. You could think of a script to post remove those tables or use a dedicated plugin such as Easycatalog that can take care of such empty items natively.
I am having set of text boxes in the report and binding each columns in the text box from the Data set.
As of now only first record from the dataset is binding in the text box.
I need all the rows in the dataset to bind in the text boxes page wise.
Each row in the dataset bind to text boxes page wise.
First record in first page,Second record in second page ... etc.
How to achieve this? Help me to solve this...
Thanks in Advance,

I recently faced the same issue, I used some help from stackoverflow to solve the issue, u might have already figured it out but this is to help others with similar issue.
Make sure you have a Dataset defined for your report.
Add a "Table" control to the report. This seems to be needed in order to iterate the rows in your Dataset.
Delete the header row and two of the default columns from the table so that you are left with a single row with a single column.
Expand the table to the width of your layout and make it as tall as you will need for your "free form" layout.
By default, there is a TextBox inside the table cell. Right-click the empty table cell and choose "delete" to remove that TextBox.
Drag a "Rectangle" control into the empty table cell. It seems to automatically "dock" to the width/height of the table cell.
Now you should be able to drag the fields from your DataSet (TextBoxes, etc) into the Rectangle to produce the desired layout.
You can use a List with page breaks at the end of details group.
I am trying to make a filed in my form become invisible if it's value is empty.
What I have is a form with individual records from a table, this has a sub-form which is linked by an ID, and it displays the results of a query.
This has three fields ones is the ID, a number and third is a date, Not all records have a date and therefore for the ones that do not have one I want to completely hide the date label and the empty text box; and make it appear only when a date is specified.
I'm guessing I might have to use some kind of WHILE statement in my query but I'm not sure whether that's right and how to do it.
I would appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks
You can add this code to the subform current event:
If (datafieldname & "") = "" then
datafieldname.visible=false
else
datafieldname.visible=true
End if
Where datafieldname is the name of the data field on the subform. This will only work if your subform layout is not tableview
