Forms :: Macro To Apply Filter - Search Multiple Fields
May 9, 2013
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.

I have a form in access where i need to select a record between two different dates. For example i have a "valid_from" and "valid_to" field. I have an unbound text box with short date format and calendar control inserted for users to select a date. This is named "drpdate".
I have a bunch of other filters also in the same form. Now my issue is that i have not been able to figure out how to put in a SQL statement which would give me the data which is between the "Valid_from" and "valid_to" fields based on the date selected in the unbound text box.
If the selected date does not meet the criteria, then it needs to be give the results from another table (which i have already done).

I'm relatively new to MS Access (using MS Access 2013 but the db should work on 2010, too) and try to develop a database for an NGO I'm working in. I created almost all the tables (all that I need for now) and made the relationships.
However now I start to create forms and later reports for the actual user. The database will store information about clients and track consultations and assistance the NGO gives to them. There will be around 50.000 to 70.000 clients in the main table. Every client has a specific Individual ID and is member of a family which itself has another specific Group ID.
Now here is my problem: The User usually searches for the respective family by the Group ID. I implemented this with a search query using the ID number of a search text box. All done and no big problem.
But sometimes the ID number is not known so the user needs to search by name (First and Last Name). I use to different textboxes for this and it works in a similar way like the number search by query (Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_SearchIC]![txt_LName] & "*"). All still good However since most of the clients are actually from arabic speaking countries, converting the names into the Latin alphabet is bound to fail and produce a lot of misspellings. Therefore I added 2 more textboxes and 3 comboboxes for the user to give more information about the client and therefore make it easier to search for the person. I was able to produce a query which gives you the right result if you have ALL information at hand. However, this is not always the case.
1) But I cannot find a way to tell the query that if the a certain textbox or combobox is empty, it shall just "ignore" it and use the information at hand. I tried this in the query by adding in the criteria OR .... Is Null. This is alright for one or two textboxes but for the many I have, it seems to be too many different combinations for the criteria. It just worked with some fields but others always had to be filled in...
2) If no information is given at all, the database should inform the user that he needs to enter at least on field. If nothing is found the user should get a msgBox saying "No IC matches your criteria".
3) The results of the searches should be given out in another form where the user can pick the person from 1-to-many results.
I attached a sample database with sample data and reduced tables, fields, and entries ...

I wanted to build a dynamic search form using text box instead of the common combo box type.
I found an example that used the combo box and the searching portion of the code is as followed:
Code:
If Nz(Me.txtID, "") > "" Then
If Len(Nz(strFilter)) > 0 Then strFilter = strFilter & " And "
strFilter = strFilter & "CategoryID = '" & Me.txtID & "'"
bFilter = True
End If
How to insert (Like "*" & Me.txtID & "*") into the code to make the dynamic search using text box possible.

I have a form with a bottom that has a macro that uses applyfilter to filter the current form based on what is within a textbox located on the form.
I used the macobuilder and have my where condition as
[num] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*" Or [name] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*"
This works when I open the form by itself but when I try adding the form to a navigation form I get prompted to put in "num" and "[Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] " etc. when I click the bottom.

I'm creating a database about Vets and I need to make a button on my menu form that will open something like message box that will allow me to type in something (in my case Customer ID) which will then apply the filter on the customer form and allow me to do edits. I have only done the macro that will open the customer form but can't figure out how to do the filter part.

I am trying to apply a filter to a datasheet subform using a combo box.
This is the code I have used on the "after update" event:
[Ordering - Price list items].Form.Filter = "[Secondary Category]=" & Combo72.Column(1)
[Ordering - Price list items].Form.FilterOn = True
When I run the query i get the following error:
Runtime error 3021:
No current record
I am not sure why it isn't working as this is how I have set up other combo box filters and it worked fine.

I have a form with data fields and a list box, data is coming from a query. When I add a toggle button to apply a filter to the data on the form, the data in the fields are filtered, but the list box still shows all the data items. How do I use a toggle button or something on the form that when activated it filters the data in the list box and the list box only shows the filtered content.

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

3) As above it will not show the detail form by dbl_click (it has Error)
Run time error : 3075

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.

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.

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've built a macro with wildcards that replaces multiple spaces of varying numbers after perods, commas, and before and after numbers. Now I want to add a search for the same before and after en dashes and hyphens. (Pretty soon I'll have Word streamling a lot of documents I edit!)

I have a form with 5 options in a group. This works fine when I only have 1 filter applied to each button. I need to select the "Not Collected" button and have it filter out and show "Collected = No" and "Deleted = No". Here is my code..Case 3 is the one I'm currently working on. I can get the others once I figure out the first one.
Private Sub Frame799_Click()
Select Case Frame799

Hi.
I have a table used for years. I added new fields bringing number to 160.
When I go to insert another row, I get message saying 'Row inserted in the grid exceeds limit of 255 rows for table or 1,000 rows (actions) for a macro.'
BUT as the number of records had not increased and I am under the 255 limit why the error message?
I tried in vain to copy and compact/repair the database, but still no luck.
Ideas?

I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.

I have a query where on an IIF result a field is displayed or an "OK"
I have an imported field of 6 chrs where I only want the left 5 so I use
Loc:=Left([Location],5) ,
I then compare the result in, MoveTo: to another fixed field [PreferLoc]
MoveTo: IIf([Loc]=[PreferLoc],"OK",[PreferLoc])
I wish to citeria out all the "OK" values so I have <>"OK" in the critria section but when I try to run the query I am presented with a selection box asking for Loc
This Query feeds a report so I set the filter to yes in the report properties and use [MoveTo]<>"OK" as the filter and this works great until I close and reopen the app where the filter has gone ?
Can anyone advise where I am going wrong with my query and or my report ?
thanks in advance

Hi,
I am working on an ADP ( first time working with this ). I have a form that is based on a parametized query.
The record source for the form is the parametized query which works fine the first time it is brought up. When the user wants to change the client number, a button "change client" is clicked and the event that gets triggered is openform=("edit client")...... Well, instead of being prompted, I get the error "The ApplyFilter action contiains a filter name that cannot be applied".... When I do a right -click on that same button, and "remove filter "I can get my prompt, but I dont want to keep doing that. I am not sure how to remove the filter from this button. I am not sure what the error message is telling me. Thanks for your help.

I have created a runtime setup package for a friend to let her use my Access 2010 application, without having to purchase Access 2010. However, the ApplyFilter macro in one of the forms doesn't work in the runtime environment. The message suggested I use a SelectObject before ApplyFilter but that gave me another error.

I have an issue trying to apply a filter to a record-set. Here's the code:
Dim choice As String
Dim rset1, rset2 As DAO.Recordset
Dim dbs as DAO.Database
Dim var As Variant
[code]...
Whenever the last line is executed, i.e. rset2=rset1.OpenRecordset, I get the following error message:<<<Too few parameters, Expected 2>.. It used to work before? Maybe an issue with my library?
