General :: Listbox Search By Multiple Letters
Aug 20, 2012
I'm using Access 2010, though am also familiar with Access 2007. I have a listbox populated with a query (concatenated last and first names with a bound ID field that's invisible). One of my users asked if it would be possible to search the listbox by more than the first letter of the name. As it stands now, if you type Smith, the focus would go to the first name starting with the letter "H", rather than Smith.
I've spent a lot of time researching this and come to the conclusion that this functionality does not exist within a listbox. However, I've discovered, a popular suggestion is to change the listbox to a combobox, which has this functionality. Since my listbox is multiselect, that would not work for me.

Basically what I have is a form where a user has a drop down combo box that he can pick more than one value.
I then want to take what he has inputted e.g. Option1, Option2 and put that on a report in an unbound text box with another field value.
For example
=[Field1] & "/" & Option1/Option2
Those forward slashes are quite important as well, so any solution would need to include those.

"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 table of data regarding companies (contact info, etc). The company I work for provides these companies with up to 10 different products. On my input form, I have created 10 check boxes (and thus, 10 columns of Yes/No data in the corresponding table).
Each company has at least 1 product checked off, and up to all 10.
I would like to create a combo box that lists all 10 products, and upon selecting one, a list box then populates with the names of the companies (primary key) that use that specific product.
So, for example,
Company A buys CATS and DOGS from us
Company B buys DOGS
Company C buys CATS and ELEPHANTS
Combo box options: CATS, DOGS, ELEPHANTS
If I choose DOGS, then a list box gets populated with:
Company A
Company B
and when I click either of these, the record should be brought up for the respective company.
All of this should take place in the header of the form, while the form itself can be updated based on search selections.

[URL] ....I am trying to dynamically search multiple fields from a combo box on a form that includes a subform. I am using code from the above referenced link within this forum.
It works without the "setFocus" for the Listbox except it jumps to a record after the very first character is entered instead of narrowing down as characters are typed. If I leave in the "setFocus" I get run-time error 2110.

When enforcing referential integrity, does access get angry about capital letters?Or just in general, if an address gets put in with a capital letter in one instance and then without in another does it make a difference?

When I print a report from Access, it prints fine. When a colleague does it to the same printer, it misses out lots of letters. Another colleague does it, and it prints fine. The font is standard (Calibri). My IT dept. say it isn't the printers fault. Is it something wrong with my report ?

We have a field of 7m records of varying length, some of which are numbers, some just letters, some alphanumeric, and most which include a dash, space or some sort of punctuation mark.
We need to replace all letters with "L", then replace all digits with "@".
We can replace characters individually using this update query:
Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"A","L")
But would like to use wildcard searches to resolve this, something like (these don't work!)...
Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"A-Z","L")
Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"LIKE [*A-Z*]","L")

I have successfully created a dynamic search form, which filters a listbox as the user is typing into a textbox.However, I am now trying to make the search more basic, which I cannot do. I want the listbox to be blank, and only display results where the number in the textbox matches one of the fields in the listbox.
Code:
Sub SearchFor()
'Create a string (text) variable
Dim vSearchString As String
'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor
vSearchString = SearchForProp.Text
[code]....

I have a search form that uses several comboboxes, textboxes and checkboxes that are used as criteria in a query. You enter in the relevant information, hit search and a report opens based on the filtered query.
What I would like to do is change one of these combo boxes to a listbox and use the multiple selection as the query criteria. I know it's not as simple as just putting the listbox as a criteria in the query, and I've also tried many different variations on the varItem and strWhere code.

How to create a search BUTTON to give results on the listbox after a user typing the desired keywords to search.
As of now, the database has "On Change" property that whenever a key is pressed (from time to time; letter per letter) it automatically change. What I want is for the user to finish the word he/she wanted to search then theres a Search BUTTON to press in order to show the results.
Attached is the database...
And also, how to put Reset BUTTON - to reset the search box and ready for the user to type again.

I am using John Big Booty's code for narrowing down the content of a listbox. It works beautifully, with the exception of when I type the character "i" into the search box it gives me a Runtime 2110, cannot setfocus error. I have run through the entire alphabet in lower and upper case and consistently get the code failing on lowercase i only.
Here is the code:
Private Sub searchFor_Change()
'Create a string (text) variable
Dim vSearchString As String
'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor
vSearchString = searchFor.Text
[Code] ....
Here is the link to the original thread that the code came from. [URL] ....

So I created a search form which filters my results. Apparently I don't have enough posts to link to the source of the code though. The code is from this website, /forums/showthread.php?t=188663
I then wanted to allow users to double click a result in the listbox to take them to the form which contains details about that record, however the listbox doesn't point to the correct record.
-When nothing is specified in the search field, all records are shown in the listbox, but double clicking on the first record takes me to a form that has no information. Clicking the second record takes me to the Detail Form of the first record.
-When information is put into the search field, the results are filtered and only a few display, however clicking the first result again takes me to a blank form while the second result takes me to the first record of the unfiltered list. There is no way to reach the Detail Form for the last result of the listbox.
-I tried right clicking the results in the listbox and copy pasting the information. The first result gave me a "0", the second a "1", and so on and so forth. This was the same whether or not the information was filtered or not.
-I tried switching to a combo box and got the same results.

I am trying to create a simple Search form in Access where a user can select a desired record and query multiple tables using the inputs.
I would like them to be able to query Retailers, Distributors and Products.
The 6 tables are linked as follows:
Although some of these tables are not included in the query, they are required to ensure relationships.
Retailers -- Uses (RetailerID,DistributorID) -- Distributors
Retailers -- Orders (RetailerID,ProductID) -- Products
All retailers have at least one distributor BUT a retailer may or may not have ordered any products.
I have created my form but the query linked to the form is having some trouble. It is only selecting those records that have ordered products. For example, if I query a retailer name only and it does not have any ordered products, it will not display. Is there a problem with the table joins? The SQL for the query is displayed here:
Code:

I create a list box to store a lsit of groups. It allows user to have multiple selections. I also have a "ALL" is the list. On listbox Click event, I then set up the SQL based on the selection. This SQL will be the query for the report.
If user select "ALL", I want all project to be selected. However, my code always show "SELECT * FROM tbFinancial_grouping
WHERE tbFinancial_grouping.RollUp IN('ALL');" Therefore, nothing is selected.
Could anyone et me know what is wrong about my code? Thank you very much.
Private Sub lsRollUp_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf1 As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL1 As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf1 = db.QueryDefs("qry_FinancialReport_Selector")
For Each varItem In Me!lsRollUp.ItemsSelected
strCriteria = strCriteria & ",'" & Me!lsRollUp.ItemData(varItem) & "'"
Next varItem
If Len(strCriteria) = 0 Then
MsgBox "You did not select anything from the list" _
, vbExclamation, "Nothing to find!"
Exit Sub
End If
strCriteria = Right(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 1)
If strCriteria = ALL Then
strSQL1 = "SELECT * FROM tbFinancial_grouping;"
Else
strSQL1 = "SELECT * FROM tbFinancial_grouping " & _
"WHERE tbFinancial_grouping.RollUp IN(" & strCriteria & ");"
End If
qdf1.sql = strSQL1
Set db = Nothing
Set qdf1 = Nothing
End Sub

Hi
In my application, I am allowing multiple selection in a listbox.
The data is saved in table. While retrieving, the items that were selected for saving, show as selected. But on printing ListIndex, it prints -1. What could be wrong ? I need to resolve it. Any solution ?

I have a listbox with about 8 different choices. i want to be able to query what is selected in this list box but I need to be able to select more than one choice so that my employees don't have to create multiple forms for the same item. Is there any way to select more than one option? It would help greatly even if I have to add code in VB I will figure out how to do it, thank you.

This must be pretty common but I cann't figure it out.
There is a listbox that multiple selections are allowed. This listbox is bounded with a table field. All selections must be stored. I don't mind if each selection is stored as a different record.
Any ideas?

Hi guys new here.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I made a listbox in which get's it's source from a field in a table named Soft. The field is named Software1.
This field contains a list off software that could be installed on systems.
I allready can select multiple selections from the listbox but what I want to do is the following.
I want to press a button, and after I press the button I want that the selected Software is added to a new listbox which show the Software installed. The software in the second listbox would also be stored inside a Table so that I could print them out in Reports.
To simply explain what I'm trying to do:
SoftwareListbox >> Make multple selections>>Press button>> Adds selected software to InstalledListbox which stores in the softwarelist installed in a Table.
I really hope you guys understand what I'm trying to do.
And sorry for my bad english, should have paid better attention during English class ;)

Hi,
I have a simple order entry system working with a subform containing combo box where a client selects various products from a table. These are recorded in separate table which allows for subsequent updating of the orders placed.
Now I want to refine this so that the user may make multiple selections as it is a bit laborious making 'n' single selections via a combo based subform.
Only a list box allows multiple selections but I would like some guidance on how to store and be able to recall and update the selected items.
Thanks and Regards
Tony Randell
