General :: Search Form For Memo Field
Feb 7, 2013
I'm developing a program to search several fields. One of which is a memo field with large characters. Using wildcard in the search form I made, it only returns the record if the first word of the field is typed in the search box. I want to type any word in any part of the field to return the record.
This is my code
' Check for LIKE Subject
If Me.txtsubject > "" Then
varWhere = varWhere & "[subject] LIKE """ & Me.txtsubject & "*"" AND "
End If
subject is a memo field.

Currently, I am trying to search a memo field on a table by having the user enter keywords on a form (up to 10 keywords can be entered). It works when just one keyword is entered, however it doesn't work if more than one is entered. How do I account for more than one keyword being entered to search the memo field and return the recors where any of the terms show up in that field. Each one of the keywords [KW1] ...etc are in a separate unbound box.
Current formula looks as follows:
Like "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW1] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW2] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW3] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW4] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW5] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW6] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW7] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW8] & "*" OR "*" & "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW9] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW10] & "*"
Should I be using AND?

How do I change a txt box to a memo field on a form? (I need to allow for more than 255 chars...) I've already set the backend DB (sql server) to accept the many chars, and the linked table access see's the datatype as memo. But I can't figure out how to get a memo field on the form, or how to change the current txt box to a memo control to support the extra characters.
I've been looking for 20 minutes... I guess I never used a memo field before, since I can't find/see how to set this.

I import a CSV field which has not preserved the CR/LF when it was exported from BCM Remedy. There is no setting for that. The memo field prints on my report like this:
A custom solution would be developed, that once implemented, could become the standard product in similar situation. Normally would assign to Network Engineering, but will work with Ray and the IPT Team to cost out the solution and get approval to proceed. 2012/05/24 10:44:28 AM PCOLLINS Sent to Ray Massie for review to determine if a solution needs to be proposed, or if they can wait for the National IPT solution to be ready in 2013.
I want to add VBA code that inserts a CR/LF in the memo field before all but the first occurance of a string that looks like a date, the first occurance doesn't need it. I will do it right after I import the CSV file into the table, so it happens only once, and it always prints and displays the CR/LF.
The memo field is called "NBS Update" and the table is called "CCRR Remedy Data"Here is what I have, but don't actually know what to put in to find the date and add a CR/LF:
Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Code:
Dim db As DAO.Recordset
Dim srtSQL As String
[code]...

The database contains the records of a collection of thousands of photographs and negatives.
One of the fields contains information on the subject matter of each pic and can sometimes be very long. The field was changed from text to memo so as to hold more characters but they appeared in one long string, which means a lot of scrolling to see the information. That has been changed back to text and we are adding a second or third record such as xxx-xxx-xxx cont1 xxx-xxx-xxx cont2 so as to get shorter strings. Is there a way to make the text wrap onto a second or third line automatically after a specific number of characters have been entered or can a carriage return be put in to force the text to a new line?

I'm trying to concatenate two text fields into a memo field using an expression in a select query. My problem is that the text fields together end up more than 255 characters, so I need the resulting field to be a memo instead. I can't change the underlying text fields to memo fields because this is a large database used by others who need those fields to be text.

I have a form set up where user's type in an explanation of how a claim is being appealed and resolved in a memo field.
One problem, for some reason management doesn't want these explanations to end with a period. But the users keep ignoring our request and keep using the period.
Is there a way that you can code this memo field to where it will allow punctuation throughout, except at the end?

I'm trying to develop a form that opens when you select a tab from another form. The first form would contain Standard Instructions (from a table) and the second form would have a Memo Field for special instructions. The user wants to be able to click a check box for each standard special instruction and when they close the first form all the check standard instructions to update the special instructions memo field on the second form. I'm thinking I have to set up a loop to go thru all records when the first form is closed. Any ideas on how this would work best?

Hi all,
I have a question about an Access form that I am creating. I have a "Due Notes" field, which has Memo data type and I create a form "Estimates" using a text box with the control source is that "Due Notes" field to enter notes when needed.
Although I have the vertical scroll bar for that text box (due to other controls, I can not size the text box too big), does anybody know how to display that text box in form "Estimates" with the data of the last text within the size of the box without scrolling down so I can start typing for the next entry? Do I make sense to you?
Please help and let me know if you know HOW. Thanks so much in advance.

I have a form with a memo field which is used by users to input transctiptions of Customer Contacts but the form is getting busy and the box now only 2.77 wide X 0.683 High.
this makes it impossible to read on the form even as a text box with scrolling..how to add a mouse over on it so that it fires up a large text/meg style box to display the contents?

Hi all,
I have added an OLE WordPad object to a form. However, when I use the form, I cannot select/give the object focus to activate it. Even if I right click the object, it give me the correct popup menu. :confused:
I am using this object as I am having troubles with Memo fields. I use a form to update records, one field of which must be greater than 255 characters long. When I press my update button (it just runs some code to turn off warnings, run two simple update queries and the turn the warnings back on) the update process seems to complete. However, if I go to the table/refresh the form contents, only the first 512 characters are displayed and the last few are strange system characters.:confused: This occurs no matter what I do. I was tole that copy/paste operations can mess memo fields up, but I tested this by using a fresh field and typing everything in. Hence I am now trying the OLE object to get around this problem. :confused:
Any ideas peeps??
Cheers,
Matt

I gather that there is no way to include a scroll bar on a memo field in a form. What is the best workaround? The source is a mysql odbc table. It is set as medium text and comes into Access 2010 as a memo field. For a user coming to this field to read the material entered there, unless they click somewhere within the field, there isn't a scroll bar. It isn't obvious that that is what they need to do to see all of it. Is there any way to work around this limitation?

We have a form with a field Drawing No from the Table Job Register
I want to be able to take the first part of the drawing number and display all matching items from the quote details table.
Aesthetics I can sort later.
I've created a query Item History.
My intention is to have a command button on the form Job Register that runs the query qryQuoteHistory displaying matching results.
My issues are as follows:
drawing numbers are sporadic in length and information ie:
kk80
a2-19520
a2-19520 rev a
e8
1128215 issue d
Retrospectively I would have had issue or revision number in a separate field, or better yet have a products table and link the info there. Unfortunately this isn't the case.

Using an attachment field - can we specify the location to search?
We have an Access 2007 DB and need to attach files from only 1 location - we hope to attach a copy of these files into the database efficiently.
I have a few sample DB's that use VB but I am hoping there is a quick and easy solution for this.

Id like to create a search field on a form, with a similar function to the standard Access 'find and replace' function. Only id like it to be alot more simple than the Access find and replace form.What i have is a Asset DB for the IT assets in the company i work for. We have a lot of phones, printers, computers and about 120 Laptops. The laptops are quite often reconfigured and given to new users, so the laptop details dont change but the user and software config does. I need to keep track of what software is installed where, for licensing reasons.
What i have is a simple form with the laptop name, serial number, operating system, software, location etc etc. What i would like to be able to do is, type a laptop name into a Txt field, hit a search button, then have the fields of the form populated with the laptops current config and then be able to edit the details from inside the form. ive tried using a combo box but i have more than 20 fields that need filling, so anybody whos used the 'me.txtboxname.value = me.combobox.column (1)' may know that you can only use 20 columns.
The default Access 'Find and Replace' system works fine but i dont want users to have to use it. I also dont want them to have to navigate through records using record selectors.

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.
How can I set up my query to find the whole word?

I'm using Allen Browne's search form in an application for demographic purposes.
The form is working fine, but the user is asking for a new functionality. He wants at lease 3 state combo boxes so he can filter that [State] field for at lease three choices and the way it is build now he can only have one. I tried the following code (with the corresponding text boxes in the form), but it didn't, the result was no search at all.
Code:
If Not IsNull(Me.txtState01) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([State] Like ""*" & Me.txtState01 & "*"") AND "
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtState02) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([State] Like ""*" & Me.txtState02 & "*"") AND "
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtState03) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([State] Like ""*" & Me.txtState03 & "*"") AND "
End If
In the Allen Browne's documentation he explains about using the AND and OR's and I tried a few combinations, but the result this time was no record found at all.

putting a search button on a form on my database.
On the navigation buttons at the base of the form there is a search facility where I can type a record id but I would like to get rid of that and search records either by turning the ID field into a searchable box or by adding a button where I can press it and get a search box up.
