Forms :: Search Text Box For Specific Word - Find Option
Sep 18, 2013
I have 5 textboxes and a multiline textbox in a form in my Access Database. I am going to type several keywords in those textboxes and I am going to type an article in the multiline textbox.
What I need to do is I want to calculate the keyword density in the article. I can do that if i know how to search the whole text in the article and count the specific word. And I want a function to count all the words in the article too.
how to read a specific line in a CSV file (using VBA), to see if the phrase "There are no records available." is present.
If it is present, then I'm going to do a debug.print stating that there are no records to load - and then the script will move on to the next file. If the phrase isn't present, then I'm going to upload the file to Access, parse the information, and then upload it to a CRM. (I already have the latter portion of the code up and running....I just need to account for the first part, where I can determine if the file has data or not).
The structure of the file never changes. The first row is composed of eight column headers (Post Date, Card Number, Card Type, Auth Date, Batch Date, Reference Number, Reason, Amount) and (if) the phrase "There are no records available." is present, it will show up on the second row, in the first column (under Post Date).
I am creating a a text box where the user enters a text then clicks an option from the option that is used as the criteria for the search e.g. Last Name, Phone , address then a command button wil run a query.
I need to find whether a memo field contains a specific word. I know how to find whether it contains a specific string.
Let's say I am looking for the word "run." I would not want a positive result when searching "I don't like gerunds," but I WOULD want to find the records with "I know how to 'run' a search."
So I am looking for WORDS, not matching strings.
I am perfectly willing to use a user-defined function, to put involved processing into the query, such as
Code: ... WHERE FieldHasWord("run", memoField) = True AND ...
I have a table with a large text field in it, among other fields. What I am trying to do, in a query, is to show only the characters that are between brackets "[" and "]" for that field. And, if there is more than one pair of brackets, show only what lies between the last pair of brackets.
What I've tried so far is use InStr() functions to find these brackets and then use a Mid() function to show the enclosed text. But, it doesn't work well and it gives me a very complex query! In fact, I don't think it is a good idea to even use these functions in my query. That would probably slow it down a lot.
Can someone show me a function that I could use to do what I'm looking for? I need function names that could help me make better searches for more informations.
I have a text box for the user to enter the week number, I started thinking I wanted to have some more options here, can I be abit more clever with the options when designing a form to search by date?!
I want criteria like....
Specific Date Between Dates Current Week Last 30 Days
I am 2 years into my database. I am trying to find and open a folder based on a text box. The problem is folder could be in many sub folders which is hold on our J: drive.
To further complicate, the folder i am searching may not be exactly as the text box states.
EG. Text box could say 123456 however the folder could be called M123456 etc.
How do i locate a folder or subfolder and open it based on part of a text box...
I haven't used access before and have been set the task to create a data of photos. The table is called 'Find a Photo' and contains 6 catergories of various information including river, site and date. I would like to create a search/command button by which i can type the river, site and date into seperate text boxes and search all of them at the same time.I don't know how to connect a command button to command button and not sure if any macros/queries are needed. Hope all this aint to hard to do.
I have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well. However, users was asking if there is a way we can make Font Color Could/would change if The text in A field or Any field in my display form contained the word "SAD or MAD". Is there code for such thing in display form?..
I have two tables called "tblFundingBodies" and "tblGrants". I have a form that allows me to view all the records for each of the funding bodies. By this I mean, it shows information on a funding body but to see information on the next funding body, I must click on the next record button. Just wanted to clarify that it isn't in the form of a table.
This form also has a subform in the same format that shows each of the grants that funding body has provided. When I select the next record from the main form, it will show me the grants from the company in the next record. The field that has the funding body is a text box.
I want to be able to add a seach facility to the main form that allows me to search for a funding body and get back exactly what I have described above, but just the details on that funding body/grants. In other words, I want the form view of the funding body I search for with the sub form of the grants from that funding body, not in the form of a table where you can see them all at once, I want to be able to click through each grant in the sub form.
I have a search form that's slightly modified search form modeled after the one available here on this site. It's a main form with a list box. I use the listbox to narrow down the results I want from the search function.
The search details are shown in a sub form that contains sub-sub forms
As seen in the code below, I am using the listbox to set a filter on the subform . Works famously until I search for something that does not exist in the database. I then receive runtime error 3075.
I believe it's related to the way I'm showing the details in the subform (by enabling a filter). If there is no record in the database that match the search criteria, I don't want any error messages or pop-ups and preferably would like the listbox to be blank.
Attached a screenshot of my form. red = main form green = subform blue = sub-subforms tan = obscuring the search results
Code: Private Sub SearchFor_Change() Dim vSearchString As String vSearchString = SearchFor.Tex SrchText.Value = vSearchString Me.SearchResults.Requery
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 am trying to run a check that will make the user aware if the request they are adding via the form is likely to be a duplicate. If so I want the option to allow or reject the entry. Alternatively I have seen solutions that just notify on the form is something might be a duplicate, by highlighting a textbox red for example.There will be duplicates across these fields but there are many other options included on the form, as I said this is just an indicataion.
The table is called "MainAc"
The form is called "SDC Request Form"
The comparison fields are called: "First_name" - Text "Surname" - Text "Change_Number" - Number "Date_from" - Date "Date_to" - Date
Ive been trying the Dcount() function, IIF() function but no joy.I tried to putting the below in the before update event, but it didnt run at all, now Ive put it on the button click acion that duplicates records for me, however it just returns a non duplicate responce regardless.
Dim PreviousRecordID As Long PreviousRecordID = 0 PreviousRecordID = DLookup("first_name", "MainAc", "first_name<>" & First_Name & _ " AND surname=" & Surname & " AND change_number=" & Change_Number)
[code]...
This was a copy and modify from an example database but I dont entirely understand what each part does.
I would like to create a form that allows me to search for a folder on my desk top, then once located i can transfer that file to a specific location on another drive, Similar to the Browse / upload function you see on many applications.I am using Access 2003. Is this possible??
I am trying to allow a calendar to search through a text box with a large amount of data in which will have headings using the date so i wanted to use a calendar search. Hopefully this will be be like the find function in word where you type (or in this case select a date) then click search or next which will take you to that specific date.
I have a access 2003 database, and i am wondering if i can't setup a search function in a form that will open a file in windows explorer?
What i would like to do is have a test box that i enter in a number for example: 1234 then have a button named "Search" hit that button and it opens a corresponding file in windows explorer named 1234, or just opens that folder directly..
I have a form with a list box on it that has 4 teams (Team1-4)..Below this list box I have a text box:"People on shift tonight"..I want to be able to select a team from the listbox and this prepopulate the people on shift box with the names of the colleagues from the team specified, is there a way to do this?
I have a form with two text boxes and a button. I want to be able to type a value into the first Text box click the button and the second text box to be filled with the value which is stored in the Table.
The first Textbox is called barTxt, The second Textbox is called CustTxt The button is called SearchBtn and the Table is called BookInTable. I have been trying to use the code.
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click() DoCmd.FindRecord Me.BarTxt.Value, , True, , True CustTxt.Value = "SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROM BookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer" End Sub
This however instead of displaying the Value for customer which is stored in the BookInTable. Displays The code SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROMBookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer"
I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.
I have two different fields in 2 tables, ICname and WCname, and if there is an instance where they are the same I need to have a textbox on the main form show "Same Name" but if not the box should remain invisible.
I have created a query that searches through all the names and only prints out those that have the same name in each table, but I don't know where to go from here, and I'm not even sure how to do this conceptually. Is using a query the right way to go about doing this?
I have a continuous form with a combobox and a text box. In the after_update event of the combobox I want to setfocus on the text box - of the specific record that I'm on. I tried using Me.CurrentRecord but that returns me to a completely different record than the one I was on. How can I setfocus to the text box of the record I am on?
Code: Private Sub Text74_AfterUpdate() Me.Text1280 = Environ("UserName") If Me.Text74 = "MACGH" Then Me.Text89 = "PureGene" Me.Text85.Value = Date End If End Sub
Is there a way to insert a line of code in the above that would add the next number to a 2 specific textbox's (Text103 and Text509)? Maybe if a table was created with all possible values and then the code would reference that table. There is probably a better way though. An example would be, if record 1 is A1 (in Text103) and 1 (in Text509), when record 2 is entered Text103 would be A2 and Text509 would be 2. Record 3 would be A3 and Text 509 3.
A customer's name is SZEE. Seek him through the SName textbox with Find, and Access can't find him. (Same in the table.) Seek him with a wildcard Sz* and there he is.
I've tried it on another machine - also with Access2k - and it's the same.
Is it an Access quirk? Is there an answer? (The client asks why. Be good to be able to say.) Cheers.
