Forms :: Search BETWEEN - Filter Query Showing All Records
Mar 14, 2013
I have created a form for a table which contains ~600 movies and their name, genre, rating, director, year it was made, and length (min).I need to be able to enter numbers into the two Year boxes, and then it filters the movies in my database and only shows me records from between those two years. The years in my database are just in one column in the format of: XXXX e.g. 1996 etc..I've tried the code:
Code:
Private Sub Year2_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "[Year] BETWEEN" & Me.Year1 & "AND" & Me.Year2
Me.Filteron = True
Debug.Print "[Year] BETWEEN" & Me.Year1 & "AND" & Me.Year2
End Sub
Year1 and Year2 are the boxes Year: and To: respectively. [Year] just being the column name which contains all my years.When I try to run my query it shows me my records, but it shows me all of them! It doesn't filter it at all!
I am building a search form in my DB. I have got this working by using a text search box on the main form which then links to a subform that shows the results. This works great, however, when the form is first opened, it shows all the records that be searched. Is there any way that I can stop this? I just want the subform to be blank until a search is ran.
A form I created contains buttons for the user to restrict the display- showing records that are tasked to one specific employee. So their choices are Employee a, employee b or all employees. This is a process I use a lot :) This last form opens with NO records displayed. When a button is clicked the records show correctly. Any idea what to check? Thanks,
so I have been working on this form for a while and I'm really a newb at this maybe it easy maybe its not but i just couldn't figure this out I'm so frustratated that I'm willing to pay(beer money for help)
well anyways I have this form http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/rlan214/WorkAssignForm1.jpg at the side you can see that there are 3 filters 1st has check box (check box is always checked) for the date 2nd check box for Target Location 3rd check box for ForkliftID1
I also don't know how to change the date format in my date its in yyyymmdd format right now and I want it mmddyyyy
In the middle theres a blank, and thats where I wanted my query to show
here's my query http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c176/rlan214/WorkAssignQry1.jpg
I have a column that has a bunch of keywords they are separated by comma... so for each row of that column it will have a few different keywords example: lake superior, river, mountain, lake wollongong
I know its a bit of a nono with databases to have columns with comma separated text.. well so i read somewhere anyway but the document i have been handed to work has hundreds of rows in this column with up to 14 keyword entries.
I have a form that searches through Item's names based on 2 keyword boxes.
Here's the criteria in my query:
Is Null Or Like "*" & [Forms]![frmItemView]![SearchPhrase1] & "*" And Like "*" & [Forms]![frmItemView]![SearchPhrase2] & "*"
This will show all records when both keywords are blank, and filter records using the 2 keywords otherwise.
I have a form with two text boxes and have set the correct values as outlined in Evans post. I then have the query set to run via a button. I run it but it will only give back records for the entry i have put in the 1st text box. This would work well for me otherwise... mine is like this:
Is NULL or Like "*" & [Forms]![Searchtable]![Key1] & "*" And Like "*" & [Forms]![Searchtable]![Key2] & "*"
Searchtable being my search form key1 being my first text box entry key2 being my second text box entry
this works fine and i can search using a requery button
however as deptartments are stored in tbldepts
when i change the query to retrieve the dept name instead of number directly from the table and i try to change this on the datasheet subform it changes it in tbldepts instead?
how can i change what dept the employee is in (as in change the number in tblemployee - but display the actual name?)
I am trying to provide the user a custom search feature. They want to enter a keyword or phrase and search 3 memo fields and filter the form base on the records found. they also want to be able to search the whole phrase or any part of the phrase.
I have a like expression for any part of the phrase but I when I set it up for whole phrase it doesn't work. Even if I run a simple query and use
For example: There's an acronym the user is looking for : ACA
If I set my query up like this: [field1] like "*ACA*" or [field2] like "*ACA*" or [field3] like "*ACA*"
it not only finds records with that acronym but it also finds records where that combination is found in a word, for instance vacate.
I have a subform that displays records from a query. Usually, there is no issue. Sometimes, though, the subform stays blank for no apparent reason.
Observations:
-Open form and select relevant information (subform stays blank)
-Open query and 1 record is present
-Go form layout view and turn "Data Entry" on, then back off
(The form appears to refresh when this setting is changed and the subform is displaying the 1 record properly now)
-Close form, re-open, and select the same information as before (subform, again, stays blank)
Again, the subform usually displays the records just fine. It's only sometimes that it has this blank issue even though records are present in its source query. I've tried refresh and requery macros on the form and subform, but that doesn't get the information to show up (though, switching "Data Entry" on and off does).
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 currently have a database which has a fairly simple form linked directly to a table, which records staff attendance information.
It generally works really well, however there is one thing I would like it to do, which is be able to hide certain records from view (rather than delete them completely).
I have a checkbox on the form (bound to a corresponding field on the table) called chkHide (the field in the table is called hide), which is not visible in form view; I have a button that is visible and when pressed by a user it will change the value of the check box to True.
So far so good. However, I would then like to have the form refresh and when it does so no longer show the record to the user (so it looks like it has been deleted, but in fact that record remains in the table).
I have tried applying a filter on load, but I don't know what expression to put in the Filter on the Property Sheet - - I have tried [Hide] = Is Null, but that isn't right. I have also created a Query where I have set the criteria for the field 'Hide' to Is Null and then put the name of the query in the Filter box - that doesn't work either, as it will let me put in new records but not let me see any of those put in before the form was refreshed.
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'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.
Hello. This is a very basic question. I have a query that has relationships set within. Now.. When I pull up the query with a criteria such as "date" ... the query pulls up all the information for only the items that have all the related fields filled in. How would i make this query show ALL the items from that "date" even if their related fields are blank or there are no relationships in another table?
When I add new records to the form and close the form, the tables are updated with the new records, but the new records don't show in the form (navigation).
I have a Main form, and a subform which lists client details. On the Main form I have an unbound field. I want to be able to type a word into this unbound field and have it display all company names that have this word in them. ie. I type "Ltd" into the unbound field and it displays all companies with "Ltd" in the title.
I have created a query that does exactly this (Like ("*" & [Enter Word] & "*")), it displays a dialog box and I type in "Ltd" and it displays all relevant companies.
I have tried everything I know to make this work when I use the unbound field on the Main form, but I've had no luck.
Hi All I have a feeling that this is an absolute newbie question. I have three queries, qryVisitsDue, qryVisitsOverDue, qrySiteView. The query qrySiteView uses SiteID to produce a listing of all sites which includes a count of visits for those sites. If there is no visit data the site does not display. To display the counts I'm using the other two queries. In the first two I'm querying a table, tblVisits, to find what visits are due or overdue based on the current date. They work fine where there is visit data. My problems start when there is no data for a site. I need to be able to show the sites where there is no visit data. I'm not very experienced so basic explanations are probably the best. Any help much appreciated. ChrisD
I have two tables, bad design, not my choice of the way it's set up.
Table a has Fields 1-2, dups allowed in all fields. No pk was originally assigned. Table b also has the same fields 1-6, but also has field 6.
Table a has all of the records in question, table b only has some of the records from table a but does not have any records that are not in a.
Something like this. Table a
Field1 Field 2 Field 3 Field 4 Field 5 John Shirt blue denim button Mark pants green straight John Shirt blue silk button
Table b
Field1 Field 2 Field 3 Field 4 Field 5 Field6 John Shirt blue denim button new Mark pants green straight used
If I query the two tables, a left join to b, then I get the correct number of total records. If I select any records from b, then the total records goes higher than there are, even for the two combined, listing the same record multiple time.
Any suggestions are appreciated. I am a blood bank lab person, not an IT person, or DBA, so simple responses are greatly appreciated.
I have a datasheet on a form that is unable to show all records in the size allowed. Consequently it has a vertical scroll bar. However, the scroll bar allows scrolling to the bottom whereby there is white space almost the same size as the data records. The horizontal scroll bar does much the same.
Is it possible to just show the records and only the width of the data in them.? No extra records exist in the table to cause this.
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
I have a table listing xxx reasons for dispute - Users will check boxes. How do I build my query that would list all the entry numbers which have a text box?
Might sound stupid but what would be the criteria? Think it would be easier to get these results into a report and sum.
I am trying to create a report which basically includes the following:
Company, Wages, Contribution.
Each company reports wages for each employee every month. Then they also contribute to a general fund based on a percentage of the wages. For instance:
Each employee is required to contribute, in this example, 1% of gross wages to the general fund.
On occasion, the company does not pay in the required 1% of gross, say, for CompanyA EmployeeA, they only paid in $35.
Here is what I need to do. If any contribution amount for any employee is incorrect, I want to display all the records for that company, not just the incorrect ones. The report is grouped by Company, and may contain dozens of companies.
I am already passing a number of criteria to the report using a filter, including the date range and other fields which are informational.
I'm trying to write record set contents to excel. My query runs perfect in access query wizard, but recordset showing as null. My VBA code
Code:
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection Dim recordst As ADODB.Recordset Dim strSQL As String Dim strPath As String Dim appXL As Excel.Application Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
Made some tables with data, then wanted to filter it by form with comboboxes approx 10 of them, so started to write a simple query but it doesn't really work. Then I found this forum and when started to review some threads, noticed that some (most) of you write a query in vba under a button with on_click function.
The question is, what is the correct way of writing a query? Is is a vba code under a button, or is it a code in the actual query?
