Explain step 7 please

Answer 1

Whenever we required to “filter by many fields” we can use Filter by Form.

Here, fields such as ListPrice and Beds in Properties table needed to be filtered as per the given conditions whereas,

ListPrice < $300,000 and

Beds = 2

Go to Home tab in Access,

then near filter icon in top right side go to advanced command and from drop down list select “Filter by form”

Then similar to original datasheet a blank form will be created with fields names on top.

To specify the condition or criteria, data can be selected in box below the particular field.

To view properties with Beds=2,

select 2 from the drop down in the box below Beds field and click there.

Then after applying the condition click on “toggle filter” option near Filter icon.

Then you are able to see the records match that criteria.

In order to apply AND condition to that,

click on the “look for” near “or” tab in the bottom of form

“look for” tab is for creating AND conditions.

and enter <=300000 in box below ListPrice.

Then click toggle filter
