1. How can I use a multi filter for field firstName and for fieldLast name?
(first name ann* and last name han*;Rob*)

2. How can I differenciate between OR and AND when selecting from FilterFields?

3. I’ve tried to combined a filterfield and a filterMultifield, but it will only take one of them.

Great post which I have been utilising for some time and recently used your code for a drop down to filter a calendar list view which shows numerous corporate board meetings. I did amend the code to include a selector to remove filtering and show the full list again, this uses ?FieldClear=1.

What I would like to be able to do is achieve the same thing with a calendar layout view. Looking at the source html for a modify view page seems to show that it uses FieldPicker and CompareWithValue for filters but I cannot find these calls in the resulting calendar view code or understand how a filter is being implemented.

Can you shed any light on whether it is possible to filter a calendar layout view on-the-fly using the URL. Obviously I could create separate views for each of the 16 boards but would like to find a simpler method if it is available.

I ask because I have a a document library using multiple layers of folders –like a network file share. (Bad practice I know but this is the way the end user set it up even though I recommended using metadata.

Folder_1
+ Folder_A
+ Folder_B
+ Folder_C
+ File_X
Folder_2
+ Folder_A
+ Folder_B
+ Folder_C
+ File_X

When a filter is selected at the top layer (Folder_1), it remains “active” in the secondary secondary layer (Folder_A). This makes the folder look like it is empty because the FL does not match the select value as it is blank — null or empty string.

Any and all help or suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, I am using MOSS 2k7 STD.

==>
filter all lines that are dept 21 OR dept 25 (FilterName=Dept&FilterMultivalue=21;25)
AND that have subject “Ocoo” (FilterField1=Subject&FilterValue1=Ocoo)

Only, you cannot combine FilterName with FilterField ..

The formula of the calcutaed column:
=Department&Month (as in my previous example)

Now I can use FilterName and FilterMultiValue for filtering, based on this new column.
(With some wildcards in it if you like..)

Remark: this is a good solution if you dynamically compose your URL..
(like I do, in an application that gets its parameters from an excel user-interface)

You can easily create a multi-filter in the same way, by using FilterName in stead of FilterFiled:
.. .aspx?FilterName=ID&FilterValue=Boris;Guy

It will filter all lines in your list where ID = Boris OR Guy

One minor point: it is an OR operator within the same column,
and.. I could not find a way to combine this with another filter.

So.. my problem is.. I need a combined filter:
1. a multifilter on f.i. column department (FilterName)
2. a single filter on column month (FilterValue)

Anybody?
