I have a table name ex. equipment and many fields inside ex. date, equipment name (combo box) and others.
I need to make form for all fields and button search once I click on it will open a report depending on a fields i selected.
I think that I have to use VBA
This is what the search box must do:
- Searches 3 fields (StudentID, FirstName, LastName) and jumps to the relevant record.
The closer to the search box in the navigation bar below, the better, so this is what I would really like too.
- A repeat click would take me to the next result/record (if any) with the same criteria
- Instant search as soon as I start typing
I'm using this search form.I have never had issues with it until today. When I type the letter "i" as the first letter in the 'Search For' box, I get the following error:"Microsoft Office Access can't move the focus to the control SearchResults"..Also, when I type "i", it shows up in the box as "I" and is the only letter that does this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a form which has an unbound text field which is a calculated filed showing a date which is x months after a separate field on the form.
I need to write this field back to a table in the database when an "add" command button is clicked.
The table is called Assets
The form is called Assets List
The text field on the form is called txtWED and needs to be written back to the table "Assets" in the field "Warranty_End_Date"
If possible can I add this as an expression on an "add" command button?
I need that in a form when I write in a determinate field check if exists and if exists fill all the fields in the form
How could I do it?
I have a few forms - one search form (frm_main_search) which uses a basic datasheet view as a subform (subfrm_main_search), and one form which I launch from the subform (via a double click event) for the user record - frm_user_record.If I search for a user, then select them from the datasheet view query results, I can launch the user record as frm_user_record.
However if I then change anything on the user's record, I go to search for another user in the database and get the Write Conflict dialog. See my attached screenshot for a view of my form.I've changed the data of one of the visible records on the data sheet, so it needs to reload the data. However I'd like to suppress this error as I'm dealing with hundreds of these a day and it also confuses some of our less tech savvy users.
I ALWAYS click "Drop Changes" and encourage my users to do this too but is there a way of preventing this dialog from appearing?
I have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a filter on a form : There is a text box (txtSearchP) where the user will enter their search term then click button to apply the filter:
Private Sub cmdSearchP_Click()
' Filter by Programme Description
Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub
This works fine but actually I want to search two fields for the text entered in txtSearchP [Programme_Desc] OR [Programme]
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
Private Sub cmdSearchP_Click()
' Filter by Programme Code and Description
Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*" OR [Programme] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub
I know I could give the users two text boxes and two Buttons one for each and this would work but I don't want the form to be cluttered.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all:)
Has anyone ever come across an example of a form where you can carry out a multi criteria search which not only displays the results on a subform but when you select an item from that subform the details can be displayed in text boxes etc on the main form.
I have tediously searched this forum and the web but all search examples only display on a subform only, is it even possible if so has anyone found any examples or how would I go about achieving this
Thanks Jackie
I have one main table. There are about 5 main fields that my users seach often. Usually they just open the table and filter. I do not like that.
I want to build a form that has the 5 main fields available as search fields.
Name
SS
Company
Date
COC
are the fields most often searched for. Can I make a form that will open with a blank subform on the bottom and these 5 fields empty across the top. Once a user enters into one of the fields and hits enter it will bring up the those records?
Thanks.
Multi search wont return results: Obviously I have my table and search form. But have hit a problem that is probably simple to overcome, but for the life of me I cant see it.
The small peice of code I have used = forms]![searchF]![name1] I have also tried Like"*" & forms]![searchF]![name1] & "*" still not working. The qurey accompanying form (searchF) works to displaying searchF form unpopulated which I believe is correct. I should at this stage be able to fill out the one table heading (name1) where the query should return a result in the (searchf) form but it does not return.
The tables, forms and quries, have all been saved and closed and re opened many times
The form (searchF) propeties have been checked and double checked. I have even built a test table but the same things happen as my main table.
Currently, I am trying to search a memo field on a table by having the user enter keywords on a form (up to 10 keywords can be entered). It works when just one keyword is entered, however it doesn't work if more than one is entered. How do I account for more than one keyword being entered to search the memo field and return the recors where any of the terms show up in that field. Each one of the keywords [KW1] ...etc are in a separate unbound box.
Current formula looks as follows:
Like "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW1] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW2] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW3] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW4] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW5] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW6] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW7] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW8] & "*" OR "*" & "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW9] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW10] & "*"
Should I be using AND?
So I'm not new to Access but I am to 2010. It has been a bit "challenging". Here's my first question:
1.) I'm trying to search on a field by using a command button. I basically want to click the button and the following message pops up: Enter MRN.
2.) When the MRN is entered, I would like the form to filter on all records that have this MRN.
3.) In old versions of Access, I would create a Macro for this and then call the Macro in the form.
4.) I've tried the FindRecord action in the Macro but it does not work. I actually came across several actions that don't seem to be working properly (getting error messages).
5.) In my head, this should be one of the EASIEST things to do. I've done this before in several different databases. I will admit it has been a few years since I have used Access for this (ie. building forms, macros etc.). I've primarly used it to pull in a data set and then run some queries to get the data I need quickly versus using Excel.
i want to search a phone number in contact information table with column names - number, name, address, dob, gender, f-name, m-name etc and show them in a form with each field in separate text boxes in access 2010.

Trying to filter a form based on a field with wildcard. My form has a txtCustFilter control where a customer's name can be entered in part or whole. The Customer's name is in PCCustomerName
This code works but, I'd like to make it case insensitive
Dim strFilter As String
strFilter = "[PCCUSTOMERNAME] LIKE ""*" & Me.txtCustFilter & "*"""
Me.Filter = strFilter
Me.FilterOn = True
Every time I mentioned multi-value fields I get the same input, don't use them. So I am trying to replace this field with a junction table. This will have multiple records for each record in the original subform. The only problem is that the original subform is set to continuous view and now I get the error that "you can't view a form as a continuous form if it contains a subform".

I have a main form with multiple sub-forms (each a separate tab). Having imported the fields from the equivalent tables, none of the multi-value combo box fields on the sub-forms work as they do not show anything. I tried implementing one on the main form (to test) and it worked fine. What am I doing wrong with the sub-forms fields?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Job Plan form containing a selector that chooses a system number from another table. I want to (inside the same form) look in a third table that ties system numbers to equipment items (one system has multiple items of equipment) and generate a list box displaying those equipment items. I think I know how to do that bit.
I then want the user to be able to multi-select from the list and somehow to save those selections against the Job Plan number.Is the best way to do this to create a multi-value field in the Job Plan table and store them in there?
From what I read, the best way is to create a join table between Job Plans and Equipment Items, but I'm not quite sure how to connect the selected items in a list box to that - is there some sort of obvious way to do that?
My Db has a master table with a two-field primary key.
I have a main form, based on a query that primarily grabs data from that table.
The form has a subform based on a table which is the "many" side of a one-to-many relationship with the master table. I'm having a problem adding individual records to the subform.
The subform is linked via Master/child fields to the main form, but only on one of the two fields comprising the PK. When I add a new record in the sub it does not pull the PK data to the FK fields in the sub table and I suspect it is because of only having one of them properly linked.
The subform relates to an annual certification process that we track with vendors. The sub-table is populated each year with the two FK values for all qualifying vendors in one go. If I then need to add a single certification record for a single vendor I want to have a button on the subform that will pull the values from the main form fields, and ask the user for the cert year.
I tried adding a new record in vba via
Code:
Private Sub btnAddSingleRec_Click()
Forms!frmMainForm!subfrmCurrentProcess.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryAddSingleCert"
with the query being an Update query with the following in the Update To line and "Is Null" in criteria:
Forms!Mainform!PKField1
Forms!Mainform!PKField2
[Enter Cert Year]
This doesn't throw an error, but the Access warnings say I'm updating 0 Rows.
Trying to use some code to 'Select All' from a 'Check Box Drop Down' Multi Value Field . The table field size is long integer.
When trying to "Select All" the code returns a RTE 3163 "This field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data".
Private Sub cmdSelectAll_Click()
Dim SelVals, i
ReDim SelVals(0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1)
For i = 0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1
SelVals(i) = lkupAssignedTo.Column(1, i)
Next i
lkupAssignedTo.Value = SelVals
End Sub
Not my code, but just something I have found and trying to adapt. Tried changing the field sizes but no luck. Maybe something to do with declaring variables perhaps??
I have a form where a user can select from a listbox (pulled from a database) and "Add product" - it then goes into a Textbox, each taking a new line when "Add product" button pressed. Then when they press "Add Customer" those details along with other entered details gets stored in my Customer Database..
The textbox store multi-line entries in the "ProductName" field heading in database.
Is there anyway i can use a List instead of the textbox? Adding individual entries to one certain customer? I have an EDIT facility aswell so would be easier to have a "Remove Product" button instead of manually backspacing a whole product entry from another textbox (containing all products, on new lines).
I have a form that uses a multi select combo boxes. When more than one person is in the database, if a user is updating any of the multi select combo boxes, it locks out other users from making changes to those fields on different records. Looking for solution so that every user in the database can make changes to those multi select fields on their own specific records?
