Filtering Within Search Results

May 26, 2006

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

Reports :: Search Results Report Shows All Database Records / Not Just Search Results

Apr 29, 2014

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.

Help With Filtering Results

Mar 6, 2007

I've created a database to keep track of all our Microsoft licences for the company.
Just to make sure we're fully licenced, to allocate where needed, and to help reallocate when we replace a pc.

I have 2 tables, 1 hardware (listing PC ID,location etc.) and 1 software (listing software type, software licences, and to which PC ID allocated).

What i'm trying to do is filter the pc's missing either an Office licence or a Windows licence or both, so i can base a report on the results.

I've tried but can't quite get it to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Modules & VBA :: Search Code Deactivates Navigation Buttons When Search Results Are Longer Than A Page

Jun 24, 2015

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.

Queries :: Search Form That Uses A Query To Show Results Of A Search

Aug 5, 2014

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.

Modules & VBA :: Goto Record Without Filtering Results

Is there a way to search for a term within a form and goto a record that matches that term assuming there was only one matching result (Unique ID, for example).

Filtering Crosstab Query And Display Results

Dec 19, 2014

I have a crosstab query. There is a field for row headings that specifies QUARTER (Q1,Q2, Q3,Q4) and another field for row headings that specifies YEAR(2015,2016,...etc)

I want to be able to have the user input the criteria in to a box and filter the crosstab query to then display the filtered results.

Right now on my column headings I have MONTH.

When I try to reference the form in the criteria, I always get the error

"The Microsoft Database Engine does not recognize ..... as a valid field name or expression"

Does this mean that you can not filter crosstab queries?

Queries :: Filtering Data - Results Need To Be In Specific Order

May 21, 2013

I'm taking my first database class and I'm working on a hospital project in which I need to determine which pair (one doctor and one nurse) has a decremental performance as weeks go on.

I have an "r" and "s" queries.

These are the fields:

r: [DOCID,NURSEID, WEEK, RESULT]
s: [WEEK, RESULT]

I would like to find what pair had a "Good" result in week 1, "Average" in week 2, and "Bad" in week 3. My problem is that the results need to be in this specific order.

The professor told us to use a formula and I got the solution after building 6 queries that involved union, difference, and cartesian.

Modules & VBA :: Filtering Form With Search Box

Mar 21, 2014

I am using the following code to filter my form with a search box:

Code:
Me.RecordSource = "qryCompanies"
Me.Filter = "CompanyName Like '*" & Me.SearchTxt & "*' Or webpage Like '*" & Me.SearchTxt & "*' Or PriorName Like '*" & Me.SearchTxt & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True

[Code] ....

It works great with one minor issue: if I try to search for a name containing an apostrophe, I get a syntax error. So, it won't find Children's Hospital for example.

I have this code which filters a form with the command button ("Command 82"), but it only searches in the "TASK_NUMBER" field.

How can I make it search multiple fields at once? I feel like you can just use the "Or" operator, but where do I put it?

Me.Filter = "TASK_NUMBER Like '" & "*" & Me.Text80 & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery

Clear Search Results

Jun 28, 2005

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

Exit_cmdClearForm_Click:
Exit Sub

MsgBox Err.Description

End Sub
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()

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?

Search Function Returning Zero Results On 2nd Use

May 15, 2007

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.

Display Search Results In Subform

Sep 22, 2006

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

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

Jan 22, 2007

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?

Displaying Search Results Using Subform Or Other Control

Feb 23, 2006

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.

Highlight Keywords In Search Results In Report

Aug 5, 2006

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?

Queries :: Search Form Not Showing All Results

Jun 18, 2015

I am running Access 2013. I have created a search form with about 10 different categories from a single table. I will only show 5 fields for this example The form is called FrmSearch with

Description
CarNum
SerialNum
Category
Condition

In the query, I have the criteria, Like "*" & [Forms]![FrmSearch]![description] & "*" and have this same criteria for all fields with the proper text field entry. (CarNum, serialnum, category, etc)

The problem I have is that I have over 200 items listed in the Description column but only 2 entries in the CarNum column. When I run the search with nothing in the FrmSearch, it should show all data but it only shows the 2 CarNum. If I put something in the Description, only the two items that show CarNum. I tried to use Is Null and Is Not Null but still doesn't work. I take out the "Like" criteria from the CarNum and it works. So, it seems that it does not pull up all the records because the CarNum has empty fields.
