Forms :: Search And Filter Data Between Two Date Fields
Jul 29, 2013
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 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 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.
My department and limited the users to only specific tables based on their need and role. However, users have expressed the need to view past work. I do not want to give them access to the table - I am thinking that there should be a way to create a report that shows the data, but how would I set up a search filter option so they can find the one record that they are looking for?
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 have a table, tblDailyCalls, that contains agent_name, date, calls_ answered, and talk_time. Ideally on a form, the user will select an agent, enter the date range in txtStartDate and txtEndDate and a report opens to show what the total amount of calls and talk time is for that date range.
All I've managed so far is doing a simple expression on the report itself to sum the fields I want. But my method returns every date in the range. I would like to only display the total.
I've been trying with Totals in the query and crosstab queries but am not familiar with them.
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 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.
I am building Access (2013) database for 100+ employees to keep track of their expiry dates of visa/passport/work permits, for that to work I need to be able to search between date range to generate a report to work on. please check out the image attached as it will explain better where I am stuck, with current settings access keeps giving me empty query table as I think it searches for exact same result in all 3 fields at the same time. But I want it to search between all 3 fields and display if any of the 3 fields falls into that range.
First off I apoligise if this is a clear answer. I have looked on the internet for the last two days and can't seem to find this anywhere, either that or I am just entereing the search parameters in wrong :confused:
I have filtered selection in a form which I want to export to excel.
Simple enough ;) : Created a macro with the export to command. This dus everything I want to do.
Well not quite. :rolleyes:
How do I select the fields I want to export.Something like Select Id, name, adres from query soandso
Hopefully there is a simple solution to this. If there any existing posts. Could you post the link for me.
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
In Dec 2013 I created an Access table "Donations" that contains fields regarding charitable donations (Date, Donor, Amount). I use an Access form "Select Donor Form" to select a specific Donor (via combo box) from the table. Then an Access Query "Select Donor Query" uses the Donor selected from the combo box in the form to display all of the donations from that Donor for the year as an Access report.
Since I just created this Access table last month, it only had data from 2013. Now that we are in 2014, in preparation for when I run this report next December, I obviously need to modify "something" to clarify that I want the donations from a specified Donor for a particular year (i.e 2014, 2015, 2016, etc.).
I added a field to the Access table called "Year". I probably can derive the year from the already present "Date" field, but sadly, I don't know how to do that. I want to simply edit the existing combobox in the existing form to return Donors that have a record in the existing table where the Year = 2014. That way, the only changes I will need to make over time is to update which year I need and all of the Donors for that year will populate in the combo box.
Below is the Access macro belonging to the combo box in the form. I converted the macro to Visual Basic. What to add to select the Donor for a particular year. You can see that right now it is only selecting "Donor Name" without regard to which year the donor has a record.
I have a date field on one of my continous forms. When I try to apply a date between filter, it gives me an error message saying: "Enter a valid date" I choose the boundary dates from that little calendar. The date after and date before filters are working without problem. The date selection filter is working alike. Only the date between filter complains.It had worked before.
Been trying to use wildcards in fields while Filter By Form instanced in Access 2007.
LIKE, BETWEEN, IN or */% not available?
The form is based on a query. I am guessing this is why the drop downs only show IS NULL or IS NOT NULL as choices instead of the entire unique list existing in the underlying table/query.
"Dynamically search multiple fields" using my own customer data.
I'd like to add in additional searches as what he has will let you do one search but I'd like to, in his example, search on vintage and state, or the like. I assume Id need two multi-searches for this.
Right now the data is in excel so I have a completely blank page to fill.
I have a search form with 12 fields. In my query I use
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![CustomerRetestDatabaseSearch]![RetestLocation] & "*" Or Is Null
for each field on the search form.
I get the results I expect, it finds all records that match the criteria. Even if some of the fields in a record are null.
But if the query finds a record that matches one field I enter criteria into, and nulls for the other fields I enter criteria into it displays the record. I want to show exact matches. (If what I entered is null... don't show the record).
The reason I have "Or Is Null" is to include the records for the fields I left blank on the form.

I am trying to filter a recordset with a variable q. The field in the table associated with the record set is of data type Date/time. I assigned data types String and Date to q but both cases generates the error message " Data type mismatched in expression".
In a nutshell, I have a form where the 'Record Source' is a table titled 't_02_0_Assets'. I have several fields in the table that have foreign key references that utilize the Lookup Combo Box display control to allow users to select from a drop down list in the form.
The issue I am having is that I can't filter the text in the foreign key fields (only the ID's ).
My attempted solution was to create a control on the form (text box) and bind it to each of the foreign key ID's using the DLookUp function and then reference this control in the filter code.
My question is... how do I reference this DLookUp textbox in my filter VbCode?
I have attached a '.jpg' image of various aspects of the form including the filter code on the 'On Change' event.
Access 2010. I need to be able to search ALL of the NAME fields in the database.I have reviewed some of the search forms already posted but I do not understand how to apply what was done to my database.
I have a form in datasheet view, with a date column. When I filter for last week it gives me all the entries for that week, but when I try and filter on a single day it only gives me 1 entry even though I know there are several entries for that day. Why would it be doing this? It also is the same when I go directly to the table and try to filter. I know the underlying data that was imported is a full date and time stamp, which I'm displaying as just the date portion, but surely it should show me all that are on a particular date, not just 1?
Just checked to see whether it would give me "yesterday", and while it seem to be able to when I checked 2 days ago, now it's not even giving me those.
