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 RepliesI 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 used the Contacts demo on Access 2010, made all the elements Client from web based and then exported to a new database. It worked for the most part but now I am trying to put in a 4 box search and am getting stuck on which form to link it to and also where to put these boxes.

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.
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 RelatedHello,
I have been trying to produce a front end for a multi criteria search. I have used one of the sample databases from the site and amended the code as necessary, but obviously not correctly. I can't get it to show me the records based on my search criteria.
I would be grateful if somebody could have a look and let me know what I've done wrong (cut down DB attached). If I can crack this I want to do another multicriteria search for other parameters.
One other question - is it possible to take those filtered records and dump them into a report? For example, say I select one parameter and want tpo print all records associated with that parameter?
Thanks

I have a fairly large database, I need to make a form that has 3 drop down boxes on it, one will be corresponding to a field in my table called Race, another with Affiliation and the last one with Gender, race will have 7 options, affiliation 20 options and gender 2 options. I need to be able to have a search/query setup so that a user chooses one option from each drop down and have it do a search in my table corresponding to what they choose. I really have no idea howto do this and hoping someone here could help. thanks

View 3 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

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:

Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*" OR [Programme] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True

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.
I have an events database with a description field which I would like to be able to search for multi criteria which would be determined by the user. For example, the user might want to search for all events which are Merchant Navy, Dieppe and Vimy related or they may want to search for only Veterans Week related events.
I've tried creating a form with text boxes that the user would put the criteria in and then basing the query on those text boxes using a like statement.My problem is that I don't know how many criteria the user will be using so I can have too many or too few text boxes. If too few, the user is not getting all of the records that they are looking for. If too many, the user ends up getting all the records in the database as the system uses the bank boxes to bring back all values, so basically all records.
is there anyway that I can have only one text box where users would enter in as many or as few crietia words seperated either by a , ; space etc., and the system would return all records which contain any of those words.
I am very new to Access (I started two weeks ago). One problem I am having is I have a multiselect box on a form in Access 2010 and I want to base the value of a text box on the user's selection. However I would like the textbox to just be based on one of the choices and to allow the user to select any other of the choices along side this selection. How would I input this into the code?The line of code I am interested in looks like:
If Me.Reasons_For_Choosing_Physics.Column(2) = "No other ideas" Then..Could I add something like "No other ideas" + "(*)" to allow other selections alongside "No other ideas"?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm really new to Access and using Office 2007. Comfortable with SQL but have no idea about VBA. How do I get the form to query multi-selections? For example if you download the attachment here and refer to "Form1", let's say the user multiselects BK and McD's for Vendor, burger for Food, and Coke for Beverage. It should be spitting out 3 records but instead spat out an empty table. I tied my last query "query2" with "Form1" to make them work hand-in-hand which filters the master table "Fast Food". Would I need to tweak the syntax seen in the "Criteria:" cells of "query2" to make them read in multiselections?

Is there anyway to use Like in queries where the user could type in more than one word?
I have a text box (search title), on a form (Search).
On after update the text box, opens a query.
The criteria in the query for the Title field is:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![search title] & "*"
this works great for one word or phrase.
I would like the user to be able to type in 2 words, and have the query find all the records where the first word is in the Title, and where the second word is in the Title. And so on with 3 words or more.
I am trying to build a Multi Search Screen and just do not know how to achieve this. what I want the application to do is:
1) I Created a main form for data entry called 'Orderfrm'
2) The Orderfrm Field EmpNo - I created a Search Button.
3) Users to enter the Employee No or Surname or FirstName (multisearch) and hit the search button to search for the relevant employee.
4) I would like then to open a 'SearchFrm' with the details of the employee.
5) If it is more than one employee - the system to list them all
6) users will select the correct employee details and finally the system to autofill the details in 'OrderFrm'
I am attaching the database.
I stumbled on to a Dynamic Multi Search form on this site and have been tailoring it to my organization's directory of contacts. Everything was going good until I was asked to include a search by groups to which each individual may belong. The data in the table is contained in Yes/No check boxes for around 30 different groups. I am hoping to add a combo box to the Dynamic Search as a means to pull up individuals in any 1 category. Below are two attempts at what I thought might work, however, neither performs any filtering.
Code:
Private Sub Groupbox_Change()
Dim db As Database
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryGroup")

I've built a PostgreSQL database for some ecology data and am trying to use MS Access 2010 to make a front-end for it.
I've created a form to display site data; it includes such fields as site ID, site name, county, state, landscape, etc. (There are more, but if I can get the idea down with a couple of these, I should be good to handle the rest). One can click through the form and see 14 pages of site details, which is fine because there are 14 sites.
What I want to do now is make a search form in which one can enter values for site ID, site name, county, etc, and somehow get the pages of the display form that match those values. It's not terribly important to me how that output looks - whether it's a list of matches that allows for clicking on a match and showing just one page of the display form, or whether it's a filtered subset of the display form pages that one still clicks through to view them all.
if there is code to write, where do I type it? Do I start my search form by making a form with the search fields as values, or is there some other way? How do I make those search fields into search boxes rather than display boxes?
