The PivotTable view uses an Office PivotTable Component and facilitates interactive data analysis. The PivotChart view uses an Office Chart Component and helps you create dynamic, interactive charts. This article shows a sample PivotTable view and PivotChart view for the Invoices query in the Northwind sample database, and explains the steps required to create each view.

Programming PivotTable/PivotChart views in Access
Forms and datasheets in Access support two new views: PivotTable view and PivotChart view. A PivotTable view uses the Office PivotTable Component and facilitates interactive data analysis. A PivotChart view uses the Office Chart Component and helps you create dynamic, interactive charts. The views support interactions, such as adding, filtering, and sorting data, without you having to write code. However, if you want to build a view at run time based on input from the user, you need to write code. This article presents sample code for performing simple tasks, such as moving and filtering fields, in PivotTable and PivotChart views.

Remove a filter
This topic explains how you can remove a filter to view all records in a view, and to permanently remove filters saved with an object or view. Remove a filter either to see all records or to apply a set of filters that are different from the currently applied filters. Note that you cannot remove just a portion of a filter. In other words, if you filter by City and then by Date, you cannot remove the filter only on the Date field or on the City field. To filter by only one field, you must remove the entire filter and then apply a new filter based on just that one field.

Remove a subdatasheet
A subdatasheet is a datasheet that is nested within another datasheet and contains data related or joined to the first datasheet. Microsoft Office Access automatically creates a subdatasheet when you create a table that is in a relationship (relationship: An association that is established between common fields (columns) in two tables. A relationship can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many.). However, you can always add a subdatasheet to a table, query (query: A question about the data stored in your tables, or a request to perform an action on the data. A query can bring together data from multiple tables to serve as the source of data for a form, report, or data access page.) or form (form: An Access database object on which you place controls for taking actions or for entering, displaying, and editing data in fields.) (if the form is saved to be displayed in Datasheet view (Datasheet view: A window that displays data from a table, form, query, view, or stored procedure in a row-and-column format. In Datasheet view, you can edit fields, add and delete data, and search for data.)). This article describes how to identify a subdatsheet and remove it. Removing a subdatasheet does not delete the table, query, or form that it is connected to, nor does it modify any relationship between the associated tables. What do you want to do? * Identify a subdatasheet * Remove a subdatasheet

Run-time error on form
I have set up a database for monitoring users of our financial system. with the user ID being numeric, and everything has worked fine. Recently the administrators of the database have asked me to alter the database to accept alphanumeric ID's. After changing the data type to text, certain of my forms that use a filter are producing the following error message. "Run-time error '2501' The ApplyFilter action was cancelled. You used a method of the DoCmd object to carry out an action in Visual Basic, but then clicked Cancel in a dialog box." I know that the error message is due to the change in data types, because when I delete the alphanumeric data and change the type back, the forms work again.

You can create a field with predefined values either in Design view or Datasheet view. Here's how to automatically add predefined values to a table field in Microsoft Access 2003.
