Boolean Type Search

Oct 31, 2007

I need to create a user interface that will allow a boolean type search of a field. This would mean item1 AND item2 AND NOT item 3, item1 or item2, item 1 NOT item2, etc.

I've set up a combo box setup with the following script, but I can't figure out how to adjust it to allow the multiples.

Please advise if I should adjust this or try a differenmt interface format for my users.

Forms :: Access Website And Type In Search Bar

Feb 3, 2014

I am trying to get a button on my form to open two reports, and also go to a website. Once at the website I want it to type in a search bar based off of the criteria of the two reports. I currently have it able to open both reports correctly, and I can get the website to open, but I am not able to find a way to get access to type anything once on the website.

I am opening the website using:

Application.FollowHyperlink _

General :: Combo Box Does Not Expand And Search As User Type In

Jun 30, 2015

MS ACCESS 2010
AutoExpand Property Set to Yes

I have a bound combo box that has a query as a row source, The query has 3 fields called from tblMasterItems, The ItemID , ItemDesc and ItemSupplier(related to the PK of tblSupplier).

Column Count = 3
Column Width = 0";1";0"

If I do not put a criteria under ItemSupplier, the combo box behaves just fine. The problem happens when I set the criteria under ItemSupplier, the criteria being the supplier ID, the combo box no longer expands and searches as you type, but the items in the combo box have been filtered and are there.

Summary:

When the row source qry ItemSupplier Field does not have a criteria, cbo works just fine.
When the row source qry ItemSupplier has a criteria, cbo no longer expands and searches as you type, but has the filtered data showing if you hit the expand button (that arrow pointing down in the cbo)

Boolean Searches? Possible?

Jun 21, 2005

I have a search tool, but right now it is 100% case sensitive in the sense that if i search for "test" and my entry is "Test" it will not return any results.

is there any way to setup so I could say search for "Test" and it would find "test" properly? Or even to the extreme where I searched for "Tes*" and it came back with the "test" entry.

Thanks,

Forms :: Boolean Checkbox Updates

Aug 4, 2013

I use a form for changing data. So when the user selects a record from a listbox I fill all fields of the form with the content relating to the selected line in the box. Nearly everything runs as wished.

All updates take place immediately but the Boolean field does not update or better it updates only after I move the cursor over it. Then it is correct. To make it clear, I do not need to press a button or click, I only move the cursor over the boolean checkbox.

I access VBA after clicking the line in the listbox and use the dlookup command to get the right values. Do I need something like a requery for a boolean field ?

Modules & VBA :: How To Check If Boolean Variable Has Been Set

Nov 25, 2014

I have an Access 2010 db which has a load of global variables of type Boolean. The values are different for each machine the database is stored on, so I have a linked table to a separate Access mdb. On startup the database opens the linked table and assigns values to each variable.

However I need to differentiate between a valuable value of False and the variable having not been set. As boolean variables default to False, this is a problem. One option is to use data type Variant, but I know this is not efficient. I am considering using data type Byte instead of Boolean, with 1 as False and 2 as True.

Modules & VBA :: ApplyFilter With Boolean And String Data?

Nov 14, 2013

I have a form used to gather data around some supplier details, and we have a review check box with Boolean data. I'm trying to establish a filter button to filter un-checked boxes by specific suppliers from a drop-down list.

Although I've been able to run filters on suppliers and the review checks separately, together I get a "Type Mismatch" error. I thought it might be because of the Boolean data type, so I tried converting that to String but get the same issue.

So far what I've created is this:

Code:

Dim Chk1 As String
Chk1 = CStr([RevChk])
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , (" Chk1 = " & Chr(34) & 0 & Chr(34) & "") And (" [Supplier Name] = " & Chr(34) & txtSupplSearch & Chr(34) & "")

Modules & VBA :: Public Boolean Variable Not Retaining Value

Oct 9, 2014

I have a backup subroutine which automatically triggers when the front-end is closed down (it just takes the back-end, makes a copy and compacts it).It's driven off a hidden form which I use to track who is connected to the BE at any given time. This form is opened as part of the AutoExec when the FE is opened and writes some basic user info to a table. When the form is closed, it updates the table and fires the backup process before quitting Access.

Part of that user tracking process checks to see if the same user is already connected - either elsewhere (i.e. on a different machine) or on the same machine (i.e. opening a second instance of the same FE) - which is undesirable (and, frankly, unlikely, but not impossible) A brief prompt appears to explain that they can only be connected once, at which point the application is quit (to enforce the rule) This also works fine.

I would add a public boolean variable, set it to True by default, then switch it to False if the same user is already logged on before quitting Access.Trouble is, the variable doesn't seem to be holding its value? Here is the Load event for the tracking form :

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

Dim dbs As Database
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Call InterfaceInitialise
blnPerformBackup = True

[code]...

For some reason, blnPerformBackup is False every time, even though I set it to True at the very start of the Load event (and it is a Public variable, defined in a separate module where I store all my Public constants and variables)

why it is not retaining its value from the Load event? I've checked and it does get set to True - and when I debug, it remains True - but at runtime it reverts back to False by the time it reaches the decision whether to backup or not?

Queries :: Select Query Return (text) Instead Of (Boolean Value)

Mar 26, 2015

how to do to return a text for each row (as field value) when a table field contains "1" as value ?

for example i have a table named "products" with a field/column called "promotion". Sometime a product is promotional, so in this case, the "promo" column holds "1" as value.

during a select on products table, how can i do to return "in promotion" (e.g.) if the column "promo" holds "1" for a product ?

Queries :: Make Boolean (Yes / No) Field With SELECT INTO Sql Statement

Nov 28, 2013

I've been using a SELECT INTO statement to import data from a linked text file into a temporary table in Access. Something along the lines of :

SELECT [tblLink].[fld1] AS Field1,
[tblLink].[fld2] AS Field2,
[tblLink].[fld3] AS Field3
INTO [tblTemp]
FROM [tblLink]

(There's an INNER JOIN in there and some Nz / CLng functions but just want to keep it simple...)

Now - I've just realised I also need to create a couple of extra 'dummy' fields in my temporary table (for later on in the show) and I need them to be Yes/No format (will set them to False at first, then run some separate queries later to update them)

I tried this :

SELECT [tblLink].[fld1] AS Field1,
[tblLink].[fld2] AS Field2,
[tblLink].[fld3] AS Field3,
False AS Field4,
False AS Field5
INTO [tblTemp]
FROM [tblLink]

But this sets Field4 and Field5 as Number fields, with each record given a value of 0. What syntax is required in the SQL to make these fields Yes/No rather than Number?

Setting Some Text As Visible Or Invisible In A Tabular Form Wrt Boolean Field

May 3, 2006

Hi there,

I know there have been a good number of questions about visibility in forms already but I couldn't find a solution to my problem (or maybe I just didn't get it).

Basically, I have a tabular form (more than one record displayed at once) and one the field is of the Yes/No type. For each record, I'd like to have a text box that displays 'pending', set as visible if the field value is 'Yes' and set as invisible if the field value is 'No'.
The table is as follows:
id : auto-number
Flag: Yes/No [Yes]

If I use the following code on the Flag button:
Private Sub Flag_AfterUpdate()
Me.pending2.Visible = Me.Flag.Value
End Sub

all the 'pending' text boxes appear and disappear together (instead of just the relevant one).
I thought of using another text box, with the same data source ('Flag') but which would set itself to visible or invisible wrt to its own value but I couldn't find a way to do it.

Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !
and many thanks already for the forum and the contributions - it's been extremely helpful, esp. for a beginner.
