Continuing his July presentation, Sco will demonstrate the technique of using a form to enter query criteria which is commonly know as "query by form" (QBF.) In its simplest form, QBF is an extension of using parameters in a query. In its more complex implementations, QBF can involve using a lot of code to construct an SQL statement out of thin air. QBFs can be used as sources of datasheets, forms, reports, and most anything else that a normal query can be used for.
The presentation will start out with a view of the material covered in the July 2010 presentation. In this presentation Sco will take a deeper look into the VBA code used in the examples.
