Database Search, Email Results ???
Oct 14, 2004
***Updated*** Search/Email Results has been solved....Working out some bugs and trying to add a Print Address Labels option to the search. The post at Date Nov. 5, 11:4x is the new post with updated info. Thanks! ***Updated***
I have read a ton in the last hour or so on this subject and gained a little insite, but since I have no Access programing experience I am still pretty lost. However, I have programing experience in other areas, so if it requires some macros, I shouldn't have too much trouble. /crossfingers
I have put together a database for the business I work for that contains around 3,000 contacts.
I am trying to figure out a way to do a search that will search out specific contacts and email them a newsletter. Their email address is included in their contact information. So I assume I need a way to search for a specific criteria, grab their email address, and then email them with either an attached document, a prior written email, or have included the newsletter in the body of the code to add into the created email.
Any thoughts?
Thanks so much for your time,
Nick

I have built a custom search form in a MS Access 2010 database so that users can find specific records to edit. After entering the search criteria and hitting a Search button, another form opens up that shows the search results. This second form includes a command button for generating a report of the search results.
Right now, the custom search form and the search results form are both working properly, but the search results report is showing every record in the database instead of just the search results. This is true whether I access the report via the command button in the form or the navigation pane. I'm not sure if I need to correct my VBA code or the report's properties.

I'm getting a Run-time error 2295: Unknown Message Recepients.
I've got a DB of about 2000 clients. In testing I did a test DB with 50 random
clients. Using any search criteria, it would grab those clients and open a new email
with their email addresses no problem.
However when I do this same thing with my complete DB of 2000 clients, I get this run
time error.
I'm pretty confused here, and anxious. It looks like the program is working, I just need it
to run with all my clients. This is the last thing I must conquer to be finished with this project.

Ok here is what was going on. I have an option group, I would select an option,
type in my search criteria into a text box, and click an event button. The program
would then search my database for that criteria and grab the emails of the individuals
meeting that criteria. A message box would then pop up, listed all the emails it had grabbed
I would click ok (my sendobject command is set to edit the email) and at this point instead of
opening the email to edit the program would crash.
After scratching my head for several days I moved on and have come back to this problem again
two weeks later, and within 15min I realized what was wrong. I guess it is good to walk away
and come back fresh sometimes.
What is happening is that the program does not account for entries in my database that do NOT
have an email.
Example, let us say we want to search a state...lets use the state of GA for example. If I have 5 entries
from GA with email addresses and one entry from GA without an email address, it will crash the program.
My only guess is that the way the program is setup is that it is grabing whatever data is in the email location.
It that location is blank, its grabing blank and crashing the program.
I need a way to discard the entries it searches that don't have email addresses or something...
Please help, this is the last item for this project.

I have a form that has a subform on it. The main form shows a category of furniture and has custom navigation buttons and a search text box for asset numbers and command button that runs the search. The subform shows the asset numbers associated with that furniture category, sometimes there is only one asset number, in other cases there could be 60. There is a scroll bar to scroll through the asset numbers when there are too many to see in the initial window.
The buttons all work as they should except when I search for an asset number that is part of a category that has too many asset numbers to show in the main window. When this happens the "previous" and "next" navigation buttons do not take you to the previous or next record. All of the other buttons on the form work though - you can go to the first, or the last record, and you can search for a new asset.This is the code for the search:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAssetSearch_Click()
Dim rs As Object
If IsNull(Me.TextAsset) Or Me.TextAsset = "" Then
MsgBox "Please type in an asset number to search for.", vbOKOnly
Me.TextAsset.SetFocus
[code]....
I've also attached a picture of what I mean when I say there are more asset numbers than what the window shows.

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.

I hope I can explain this clearly. I'd be really grateful if anyone could help.
I need to set up some sort of contacts database at work.
I need (I think, after having a little think about it) one table, filled with people, (their names, contact details ect) and basically various queries to pull up people in certain groups. Say for instance, people who attend meeting a, b, c, (in a simplised, condensed version of the truth)
I did think about doing this with various tables actually. A contacts table, a meetings table, blah blah, but anyway. (Any advice on this incidentally would be great).
My main problem though. We often have to email all the people who attend say meeting a. We have contacts on our email systems, but they're different from person to person, and as the company is updating email systems, we can't even send contacts lists to everyone, as they're not compatible.
What I'd love is to be able to call up a list of people attending meeting a from my database and email each of those people (their contact details would include email address of course)
Does that make sense?
Is there any way of doing this?
I'd be really happy if anyone knew...

I have got a form (name: SearchForm) that displays results of a query (name: AircraftSearch). It is a continuous form displaying multiple results of a search done by the query. I need to be able to send an e-mail to multiple recipients chosen from results displayed on the form.
One of the form's field (a text box called: EmailToOperator) is containing e-mail address to an aircraft operator selected by the underlying query. I need to be able to place a check box button (or something similar) that is going to select the e-mail address. The tricky part is to have multiple check boxes allocated for each record displayed on the form and have them working independently.
The second task is sending a one message (via Microsoft Outlook 2010) to chosen multiple recipients (with no attachments) having the recipients' addresses not visible to each other.

I am trying to loop through a query results to extract email addresses from a query result.
I have the following code
NameCriteria = Forms![MainMenu]![tbl_Course_Details]![Course_Name].Value
DateCriteria = Forms![MainMenu]![tbl_Course_Details]![Course Date].Value
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlStr As String
[Code] .....
If i run this in access as a query then it returns results but when i run in there then it says no current Record and i cant work out why?
Someone on another post said that sql uses US date format so i tried converting to us date and still no results?

Hi there,
I am setting up a database at the moment. I do not have a lot of experience with Access but up to know everything was alright :).
I don't know if it is at all possible...but I would like to be able to find out who has a yes in a "yes or no" field and than that it shows me the email addresses of the people that have a yes there....does that make sense...I hope so.
Ok if that is possible, the second thing I want to be able to do is to email those persons that have a yes.
I have understood by now I will need codes and everything. Problem is I don't know anything about creating codes...so would be great if someone can explain that to me. And is it right I put those codes into a new module?
I hope this all makes sense and that someone will be able/willing to help me.
Thanks in advance!

I created a search form (using code from here) that searches serveral fields and displays the results in a listbox. I also created a clear button to clear the fields, including the listbox. I can search all day and it works fine, and the CLEAR button clears out the fields fine but once I have clicked the CLEAR button, I cannot search anymore. I don't get any results anymore (until I close and reopen). It must be something simple that I am overlooking so any hints would be appreciated.
Here is my code (sorry it's long!):
Private Sub cmdClearForm_Click()

Dim I As Integer
' Cycle through the form's controls, testing for text,
' and clear each field.
For I = 0 To Me.Count - 1
If TypeOf Me(I) Is TextBox Then
Me(I) = ""
ElseIf TypeOf Me(I) Is ListBox Then
Me(I).RowSource = " "
End If
Next
Me.txtMacAddr1.SetFocus

Good Day All,
I have a wild card search query (Like "*" & [Forms]![search]![Text0] & "*") that works very well. I want to be able to have the phrase that user types in highlighted when it returns the search results on a form. I found the following thread that asks the same question using Conditional formating, but the suggested answer doesn't work. Any ideas?

Whats the best way to filter search results?
I'll do my best to explain my problem:
I made a form that lets users search for records in a database and displays them in another form. In that form I've made 3 buttons to let users narrow down the results to show only certain items within the search results.
Now, 2 of the buttons show specific items and the third one toggles the form to display all the records. So lets say I'm filtering records by whether or not they contain the words "car" and "truck." If a record has "car" but not truck and I click the button to sort by "truck" then the search result goes blank, which is ok. But if I click "car" or "show all" to display everything again then the search result stays blank.
This doesn't happen with records that contain both "car" and "truck."
For every button I have something like this: DoCmd.OpenForm "AdminSearchResults", , "SOW", "VendName = '" & VendName & "'", , , "'VendName'"
I know my explanation may suck, but if anyone can help me, that would be great, lol

Item: Access app front end for an SQL database (production tracking/job logging utility)
Problem: The app has a main search page that allows job entries to be located and opened by varies criteria (job#, job name, etc). I can currently run multiple searches on different criteria successfully but if I open a job window(which has been returned as result of my search) and then close that job window to do a new search my search function will no longer return any results(other then “Calculating….”) unless I close out the access app and reload.
Thanks in advance for any ideas that can point me in the right direction to hunt down my bug.

Hey all,
I did a search and i found a thread that seemed like it would answer my question but for some reason the attachment isnt working. :(
Okay heres the question..
I have a form and it contains 3 fields and 3 command buttons.
When i hit the command button it uses a query to display the results.
What i want to do is instead of having the results display in a new window, i would like it to display on the same form .. maybe on the bottom of it.
Should i use a subform or listbox/combobox..
Can anyone help me figure this out?
Thanks in advance

When you put a combo box to search the values in a form what happens if there are more than one (in my case) name that matches the criteria. ie: if you search for Smith and there are 10 people with the surname of Smith it brings up the first record. is there a way of doing adding a "search again' function so you can look for another Smith?

I have successfully created a dynamic search form, which filters a listbox as the user is typing into a textbox.However, I am now trying to make the search more basic, which I cannot do. I want the listbox to be blank, and only display results where the number in the textbox matches one of the fields in the listbox.
Code:
Sub SearchFor()
'Create a string (text) variable
Dim vSearchString As String
'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor
vSearchString = SearchForProp.Text

I work for a large company, whose contact directory in outlook is enourmous (thousands of employees). Outlook currently manages its contact directory very efficiently. its very easy to search and email individuals. In my access database I would like to be able to have that same functionality. To pull contacts from outlook via a search, without actually importing outlook contacts.

Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to display the result of a query on a subform which does not have a relationship with any other table.
What I'm doing is creating a search form where a query is built from the users input (through combo boxes and text boxes) of what table, attribute and condition they want to search from. When they press the search button, I want the result to be displayed in a datasheet below the selection criteria
The first thing I thought of using to display information with was a subform, but I think the purpose of having the subform is so that it can be linked with a form. So, is there another control or way of displaying results. The results can come from any table.
Thanks.

Hey guys
it's been a long time since i've been here
but i again need your help
my job asked me if it's possible to have keywords highlighted in search results in report
am i clear?
meaning, when you search for keywords in one of the fields, and then your results come out in the report, can they be selected, like in Word, or in searches on the Internet, like when doing a search on Monster, all your keywords will come out in red, that way you can easily read the results
so can this be done in Acess?
