Adding A Msgbox To A Search Form - Easy Peasy Except For Me :)
Sep 11, 2005
I have a code for a free text search form which will return records in another window when the search button is clicked.
CODE
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
If Len(cboSearchField) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchField) = True Then
MsgBox "You must select a field to search."
ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then
MsgBox "You must enter a search string."
Else
'Generate search criteria
GCriteria = cboSearchField.Value & " LIKE '*" & txtSearchString & "*'"
'Filter frmRhinitis based on search criteria
Form_frmRhinitis.RecordSource = "select * from tblBaseline where " & GCriteria
Form_frmRhinitis.Caption = "Customers (" & cboSearchField.Value & " contains '*" & txtSearchString & "*')"
MsgBox "Results have been filtered."
End If
End Sub
However, even if no records match the criteria the window will return a "Results have been filtered" but return a blank form. How do I include code that will return a "Match cannot be found" MsgBox if the search string isnt found?
Thanks :)

So this is probably an easy question but, I want to have a message box that will pop up and tell the user how many days are left until the due date of an issue. I can get the number of days by using
MsgBox DateDiff("d", Date, [CriticalDate]), vbCritical
but how do i get it to display that date and some text after it as well so it will say " 63 days left til completion" instead of just "63"?

I'm using Open Form, and setting the Where condition to a Parameter called search, so that a pop up asked for search parameter from user. If there users search fails to get any matches, a blank form is returned.
Can anyone suggest a better way to achieve this, so I can include a message to say no data found??
This is all my click event reads thus far...
DoCmd.OpenForm "FindLesseeForm", acNormal, "", "[Lessee]![LesseeName] Like [Search]", acReadOnly, acNormal
Thanks

Ok, I'm absolutely positive I'm missing something totally simple here... Someone give me a clue...
I have a database whereby I track academic performance of students in our program. I am trying to use last year's table to calculate how many hours each student earned during all three semesters.
In many cases, students did not enroll in all three semesters, so I am dealing with Null values in many of the fields. The easiest way would be to do something with the Nz function such as follows:
HrsEarnedLastAY: Sum(Nz([HrsEarnedFall],0)+Nz([HrsEarnedSpring],0)+Nz([HrsEarnedSummer],0))
But what I am getting is the numbers in a string! Say, a student earned 12 hours in the fall, and 10 hours in the spring, and didn't attend at all in the summer. The answer I'm getting in the calculated field is 1210, rather than 22. I've tried about 50 permutations of the above expression and I truly can't see why it isn't adding the fields together... I have also tried this with parenthesis around each Nz: (Nz([HrsEarnedFall],0)) , same result.
The Sum function does not recognize Null fields, but I thought I could use the Nz function to account for that. If I can't use Nz with Sum, how the heck do I add these numbers?
What I need to do is create a table with these hours totaled, and then update my main table from it. I could conceivably add the fields together in a report, but then I don't have any way to update my main table other than simple data entry.
I really do not want to have to go back into almost 700 records and add in zeros in multiple fields just because I'm missing something stupid.
You'd think an application as powerful as Access would be able to add 2+2 and get 4...
Any help would be most appreciated...

Hi! Everyone on this forum has been very helpful so far, and I could really use some expertise now. I'm trying to update an existing DB designed by someone else (no longer here). I need to add a button to the switchboard for 2006, but I don't understand the code that has been written for the form I am trying to update. I've posted the code below. If anyone can help me decipher it enough to add my button, I would really appreciate it. My new button should be the 9th one. Thanks in advance:

I have a button that opens a form which is based on a query.
The query has a prompt so when you click the button the prompt pops up.
However if nothing is entered you get a VB error 94 error.
How do i get it to show a msgbox if the search is empty?

I have a search form with unbound combo boxes that uses the combo box values as criteria for a query. The Row Source of cboCategory is based on the query:
SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.Category FROM Categories ORDER BY Categories.Category;
When I start the form and I don't select a value for the cboCategory combo box, the query just returns all the values. This is great. The problem is that if I make a selection in the combo box, I have no way of reverting it back to that initial value that would make the query return all categories - if I erase the combo box the query returns nothing. So I have to close the form and reopen it.
I tried adding an "All" value to the combobox like so:
SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.Category FROM Categories UNION Select Null as AllChoice , "(All)" as Bogus From Categories
ORDER BY Categories.Category;
but it does not seem to work. It just returns nothing instead of all the categories. How can I add a value of "All" to the combo box that will return all of the categories?

I have two tables called "tblFundingBodies" and "tblGrants". I have a form that allows me to view all the records for each of the funding bodies. By this I mean, it shows information on a funding body but to see information on the next funding body, I must click on the next record button. Just wanted to clarify that it isn't in the form of a table.
This form also has a subform in the same format that shows each of the grants that funding body has provided. When I select the next record from the main form, it will show me the grants from the company in the next record. The field that has the funding body is a text box.
I want to be able to add a seach facility to the main form that allows me to search for a funding body and get back exactly what I have described above, but just the details on that funding body/grants. In other words, I want the form view of the funding body I search for with the sub form of the grants from that funding body, not in the form of a table where you can see them all at once, I want to be able to click through each grant in the sub form.

Dim Answer As Integer

Hi,
I have a Form that is modal and popup, and which opens without the MS Access in the background. It is like a separate window (piece of program) that runs under Windows XP.
If I move the Form on my screens (I have dual monitors) I would like that the messages that are triggered by various actions to appear on top of the form not - for example - on the other screen .
I can add more info if necessary.
Thanks for help.

Hello,
My database has two main tables: Table1 and History
Users can add data to this table and decide if store part of data into the History table using an append query behind a cmdbutton. I do this to create an Historical Log of my records.
I then have a main form (form1) with the following code on the OnCurrent event:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "history", "[SSN] = '" & [SSN] & "'")) Then
msgbox "Record present in the Historical Log!", vbOKOnly, "Warning"
end if
I would now like to change this code so that users are prompt with a message that allows them to either open the form1 or the Historical log (frmHistory)
I would need something like this but cannot get it to work:
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "history", "[SSN] = '" & [SSN] & "'")) Then
msgbox "Record present in the Historical Log!", vbYesNo, "Warning"
If vbYes Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmHistory", acNormal, "qryhistoryfrommsgbox", "", , acNormal
If vbNo Then '
'open the regular form1.
Another thing I cannot figure is why this pop up msg comes up even if I close the form. Is there a way to revome it from the close form event?
Thanks.

I currently have an unbound form I am using as a switchboard. When a button is pressed it loads a form asking for the user to enter their password (the swtichboard is then closed). If the correct password is entered the form opens to their details, when that form is closed, the swtichboard re-opens. I want an action that if the correct password is not used, then a msgbox lets them know and then the Switchboard they were at re-opens. So far I have the following code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "Incorrect Password!"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
This works well, but I am unsure how to write that after the msgbox I want the Switchboard to open. I tried to add "DoCmd.OpenForm frmSwitchMain" in various places, but I am unsure on the proper procedure to do this.

Hi,
I have a form that staff fill in to indicate whether they have taken or recieved time-owing on a particular date. The form opens on a new event, you enter the date (access calendar), your name (dropdown list), how many hours you are owed from that day, and in the last box any time you have taken back that day.
What I would like to do is have a text box that calculates the total time left ("owed" minus "taken" for all dates) for each person, so that when the name is entered on the form, the box will display the total for that person.
Sorry if I have not explained this clearly...

I stumbled on to a Dynamic Multi Search form on this site and have been tailoring it to my organization's directory of contacts. Everything was going good until I was asked to include a search by groups to which each individual may belong. The data in the table is contained in Yes/No check boxes for around 30 different groups. I am hoping to add a combo box to the Dynamic Search as a means to pull up individuals in any 1 category. Below are two attempts at what I thought might work, however, neither performs any filtering.
Code:
Private Sub Groupbox_Change()
Dim db As Database
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryGroup")

I have a form with various text, date and combo controls. There is a button at the button that runs a macro (Close NB) at the bottom. What I'm trying to do is bring up a msgbox if certain fields are blank and not run the macro. I only want the macro to run if all the fields specified have data in them.
The fields are :
cmb_cliname
cmb_disease
cmb_projectType
cmb_ProposalStatus
The on click code is:
If (Me.cmb_cliname Is Null) Then
MsgBox "Please fill in the relevant details",
ElseIf (Me.cmb_Disease Is Null) Then
MsgBox "Please fill in the relevant details"
[Code] .....

I use filter Combo boxes in a lot of places so that users can filter records easily. (Not combo boxes for input).I have them labeled as filters but nonetheless users keep trying to input into them for some reason.How would I add a message box to it so that it states that 'this box is not for data entry etc'.

Ok, I've run into two serious problems in testing, and another question that I'm hoping you guys can
help me solve. Below my questions is the code used for making the search query/email program.
Problem #1: In testing, this search program only is working for me for new data. Any data that I had
in the database prior to implimenting the program will not move past the search stage. In other words, I
will do a search, it will find the emails and bring them up in a box, I hit "OK" and it gets hung up and won't move on
to opening up a new Email with the addresses implemented. However if I enter new data in the database, say with a weird
name so its only bringing up the new entry and no old entry, it works fine and opens up the new email.
Problem #2: Items I would like to search like check boxes. Say I have a check box "Donor", this is listed in the database
as a 1 or 0. I can't have my boss searching 1 or 0. Is there a way to change this to, say, being recorded in the DB
as a Yes or No. That way he would check to search "Donor" and type Yes in the search box and this would search the DB
"Donor" column for "Yes" and bring up the results.
New Question: My boss and I reviewed the form as it is so far yesterday. He was asking if I could add a Print Labels option
in there. I'm wondering instead of adding another seperate search box and all that mess for a labels search print, can I rather
add two check boxes, one labeled "Print Labels" and the other labeled "Email". What this would do is depending on the check box
you selected it would either run the search and email like we have it, or clicking the other check box would run the search and print
labels.

I have a search form that uses a query to show results of a search, but everytime I press search everything comes up even though I have entered search parameters, even though my search requeries every time and the search used to work before I added new records today. Also when I press the query alone on the navigation pane it asks me for the parameters and then it actually works but it won't when I use my form.
