The code currently works for searching data on ONE single table.What if I wanted it to search data simultaneously on TWO similar tables? I was messing around trying to build up a query that uses both tables but it failed.
View RepliesIm trying to make a find page that looks up 7 fields and after reading about the Dynamically search multiple fields i downloaded the sample and changed a few things. But I have a few problems .
1) If you open the FRM_SearchAll from the navigation pane , it will not show the detail form by dbl_click or view button also will not show the picture .
2) If you open it the navigation form , it has the following error
Forms!FRM_SearchMulti!SrchText before you start it.
3) As above it will not show the detail form by dbl_click (it has Error)
Run time error : 3075
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[Food]Snack a Jacks'.
4) If you try to view detail form with the button (the error comes up)
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[Food]Snack a Jacks'
5) also will not show the picture .
I want a search box on my db that will locate data from certain fields within my database. Today i came across the posting by John Big Booty with the above title and what he has done is exactly what i require.
Now i have followed all instructions to the letter however i keep getting an error which i have attached ......
"Dynamically search multiple fields" using my own customer data.
I'd like to add in additional searches as what he has will let you do one search but I'd like to, in his example, search on vintage and state, or the like. I assume Id need two multi-searches for this.
Right now the data is in excel so I have a completely blank page to fill.
[URL] ....I am trying to dynamically search multiple fields from a combo box on a form that includes a subform. I am using code from the above referenced link within this forum.
It works without the "setFocus" for the Listbox except it jumps to a record after the very first character is entered instead of narrowing down as characters are typed. If I leave in the "setFocus" I get run-time error 2110.
Find the link by tacking on the following to this site's primary [URL] .....
It was, essentially, a type-and-show-as-you-go search functionality for an Access Form. It works great, except that I'm experiencing intermittent slowness when using the form. As I type, the characters appear very slowly and experience a significant lag time.
I only have about 70 records so far, so I'm pretty sure the slowness is not being caused by an overabundance of data. At other times, it goes super fast without any lag.
I want to create a parametric search for tools on the shop floor based on multiple fields [using VBA]
I've had a good search and turned up lots of useful things; but each example insofar has been fairly specific as opposed to a guide on how to implement it in a wider setting.
Let us say, for example, that my database has three fields each with a bound combo box: location; house-type; number of bedrooms
As I type in location, I want it to filter my results in the other boxes to that location (should be a simple case of applying a filter?) - which leaves me with all the house-types and bedroom-counts in that location.
As I type in the house-type, I want it to then narrow down the search again to filter the "location"+"house-type" to leave me with the available number of bedrooms.
What is the best way to implement this, given that I have about 20 fields*, some of which will inevitably be blank: as the user types in (or selects using combo boxes) the data required, it narrows down the search - and finally there's a "search all" button which returns all results matching the current criteria.
When I say "implement" I mean what underlying structure should I use. Is it best to create a query and update the query as items are entered, or would it be better to filter the form that's having the data entered?
The fields are organised sensibly into sub-forms for various characteristics (i.e manufacturing data, materials data, cutting data, etc, etc), don't worry - it's note a huge mess - and the code is all there to pull the data together as required!
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?
Private Sub Command82_Click()
Me.Filter = "TASK_NUMBER Like '" & "*" & Me.Text80 & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub
I'm trying to implement a macro to filter through accidents to see if my company has already been hired on a particular case.
In the first form the user enters the date, location, and last name of one of the drivers. Then they click a button which opens a new form as a datasheet with accidents that match ANY of the three controls. Evidently, I need a filter that contains some form of a series of OR operators.
However, whenever I try any variation of a button that opens the second form and then applies the filter, I always get no matches.
Create form to search multiple fields in table
Return records that match search
Open the record that you want in Form View for editing
I have a search form, and it has 2 combo boxes, and 3 textboxes. I would like one of the textboxes to search 10 different fields for the inputted data. Along with that search all of the others must be able to be used to narrow down the criteria. How can I do this with SQL? Right now I have a select distinct, where, and I use And to include all 5 parameters. What can I do to use the one box to search numerous fields and still return options when coupled with the other search parameters. Thanks

Hey guys I need some help, I have attached my database.
I need to search multiple fields.
I need to search from field strserialone - strserialtwelve.
Thanks for taking the time..
Please bare with me as I am an Absolute Access VB code novice . I have a Form in my Access DB and I found the Following code on this site and placed it behind my search button :
Private Sub SearchButton_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "All users", acViewPreview, , "[AUP].[First Name] = '" & Me.[Text34] & "'"
End Sub
The Search works great but only searches on the 1 Field "First Name" . How would I expand the VB code to include another 2 fields within my table . ( the other 2 fields I want to serach appear on the Form ) .
I want to make a form which will allow me to get data from a query and search using 3 fields parallel.
Attached the database in 2010 format.
Password of the db is "nolimit".
The query PTM & Equipment should be bound with the form and
If I enter month, PTM and equipment need rest 2 fields displayed.
Like choosing the above 3 fields from the drop down , the next 2 text box should display the rest two fields.
I am building Access (2013) database for 100+ employees to keep track of their expiry dates of visa/passport/work permits, for that to work I need to be able to search between date range to generate a report to work on. please check out the image attached as it will explain better where I am stuck, with current settings access keeps giving me empty query table as I think it searches for exact same result in all 3 fields at the same time. But I want it to search between all 3 fields and display if any of the 3 fields falls into that range.
View 3 Replies View RelatedRight what im after sounds complicated but its quite simple.
I have a client database, in this database each client has 3 skill fields, i also have a form with a listbox and an unbound textboxes that are linked to the query so when the textbox is typed in the listbox updates.
Now ive sorted out the problem of not all fields showing it some of them are blank now the problem is.
When input text into one of the boxes the listupdates, now if theres text in two boxes. and theres data in one of each that matches it will show neither, because the query is looking for data that matches in both fields, now i need partial matches so it will give results of data in both fields.
not understanding fully what i mean?
i have zipped my db, if you open the db then open the form 'MainListRecTrades2nd' and fill in data in both primary and secondary trades that matches from the list you will see.

The solution i was thinking of would to have 1 textbox that searches all the fields and displays data from any of the fields in the list
Thanks for any help
I have created a combo box search for my form based on three categories, 'Student Name', 'Nationality', 'Age' using the wizard. When I click on my combo box in form view, I see 'Alex', 'UK', '19' and 'Stephen', 'Sweden', '22' in the dropdown list, but I do not see the headings 'Student Name', 'Nationality', 'Age' as the first item on the list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to create a form that allows users to update multiple fields for multiple assets. Below is what I came up with:
Ideally, I'd like the subform to be filled in by having the user select multiple Assets from the S/N combobox field which would then auto-populate the "Type" field. Then they would fill out the appropriate fields they want edited in the top part of the form. They hit save and magic happens. This would also be nice because only assets they want edited would be displayed (easier on the eyes) and no distinguishing would be necessary. To do it this way, I know I would need to use a temp table but I wanna avoid using temp tables.
I know I can do this by adding a Yes/No field in the "Asset" table, setting the "Asset" table as the subform's recordsource, and then putting a checkbox in the subform and allowing them to check the assets that they want to edit (which would also allow me to sort it instantly so that checked Assets are at the top of the datasheet for easy viewing), but I would like to know if there's a way of accomplishing this without the use of checkboxes.
I know I could also use a listbox and that allows them to multi-select items, but I'm not sure if that allows me to group all selected items at the top of the listbox for easy viewing of selected items. Plus it would involve a lot of scrolling (there are over 2k assets).
I coulnt figure out how to reply to a reply. This is a follow up question to a previous post.
I can now create a new column in my access db through my web form.
Here is the script:
ALTER TABLE FAQ ADD City varchar(30)
this adds a new column called city.
Here is my problem:
Every time a user asks a question, that question will be in the new column created.
I need the newly created columns to have unique names.
I tried creating a form with a text file (to simulate where they type in their question) then post to post.asp.
post.asp holds the script.
I replaced city with ::T1:: (the variable of the text file), but got an error.
Creating columns dynamically is worthless unless there is a way to make the column names unique.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem for me?
Much appreciated
Mike
Is it possible to have a form designate which FIELDS to include in a selection query? I know that I can determine criteria and such, but i want the user to be able to generate a report based on the query select a, b, c from blah, or if they wish, just select a, b from blah...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI run a charity pre-school and have invoices to send out. Some of the parents cant afford to pay the whole amount in one go, so we give them a payment plan. e.g. If an invoice is for a 6 week term we let them pay weekly. So I have a check box on my form to say "are you on a payment plan".
Then - I have an free form input box..."How many payments..." and the answer may for instance be '6'.
What I want to do now is dynamically create/display 6 date fields, to record what the agreed payment dates are.
but maybe the answer is 4, or 7, etc. So I need to create/display the correct number of payment date fields.
I'm currently trying to build in access a replica of an atrocious search function in excel.
I have a list of data quite simply in 5 columns and i want to filter through this data about (10000 rows).
My form has 5 data points.
The first is Product Name this is a string (i've looked up a lot of codes to search strings and even partial strings but no one seems to have done what i need).
- Basically i need it to search for any / multiple parts of the string entered.
- for example if someone enters apple trees june i need it to look for cells containing those three words in any order, even conjoined for example "appletreejune" would still return or "apples on a tree in june".
- This is attached to a single col called Product Name.
Based on this search i need it to look for data in a col called mark type (which is selected by a drop down)
Then by Market Context (also a drop down)
Then by a start and an end date, however, only one of the values (start or end) needs to be between the start and the end dates listed in the start and end date columns in the table.
I am fairly new to Access and am having some trouble creating a search form. I have numerous tables, which contain information regarding clients and contracts, that are all connected by relationships. I would like to create a form in which I can type in the name of the client and pull up all the information regarding it from the various tables (i.e. when it was signed, the amount, and etc).
