Represents a filter to be applied to an attached mail merge data source. The ODSOFilter object is a member of the ODSOFilters object.
Remarks
Each filter is a line in a query string. Use the Column, Comparison, CompareTo, and Conjunction properties to return or set the data source query criterion.
Example
The following example changes an existing filter to remove from the mail merge all records that do not have a Region field equal to "WA".
| Visual Basic for Applications
|
Sub SetQueryCriterion() Dim appOffice As Office.OfficeDataSourceObject Dim intItem As Integer Set appOffice = Application.OfficeDataSourceObject appOffice.Open bstrConnect:="DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=ServerName;" & _ "UID=user;PWD=;DATABASE=Northwind", bstrTable:="Employees" With appOffice.Filters For intItem = 1 To .Count With .Item(intItem) If .Column = "Region" Then .Comparison = msoFilterComparisonNotEqual .CompareTo = "WA" If .Conjunction = "Or" Then .Conjunction = "And" End If End With Next intItem End With End Sub
|
Use the Add method of the ODSOFilters object to add a new filter criterion to the query. This example adds a new line to the query string and then applies the combined filter to the data source.
| Visual Basic for Applications
|
Sub SetQueryCriterion() Dim appOffice As OfficeDataSourceObject Set appOffice = Application.OfficeDataSourceObject appOffice.Open bstrConnect:="DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=ServerName;" & _ "UID=user;PWD=;DATABASE=Northwind", bstrTable:="Employees" With appOffice.Filters .Add Column:="Region", _ Comparison:=msoFilterComparisonIsBlank, _ Conjunction:=msoFilterConjunctionAnd .ApplyFilter End With End Sub
