I am trying to make a search function for my DB. I am using agehoops' example db shown in the following thread:
Search Function, of February 16th 2007
My problem is, that the table I am referring to in my search-query has some looked up fields. These fields are returning an ID-number to my query rather than the text value I want to be displayed.
I'm having Table with some universities name and i want web link address for all universities. Take university from table1 in column1 and search on google page and return first link of the search page and save into column2...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have a database with a few search forms. I recently attempted to add a box on one of my search forms to search 3 cells of a record for a key word. What happens is when I go to search, say for P0442, it does not bring up all of the records that contain that keyword in the 3 cells I have outlined. If I step down the code in the OR boxes of the query, it seems to work better but then for some reason my other search criteria , (Tracking number etc) does not work. I will upload the database for reference. I am currently working on the Search(View Only) and that is where you will find the query to work on.

I have been able to add the - First, Last, Next, Previous record buttons but I am stuck at the search box...
I have 2 Table that I will like to search in. I want to be able to search on a date and get the “ID” and the name of the column the date was found. Is that possible? I am thinking some kind of a Search-box, that will give a table/report.
The names of the tables are “2_PT_datoer” and “2_PT_CG_datoer”
In the first I want to search in the columns: “2U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “2U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, ““4U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “4U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “8U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “8U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “6M_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “6M_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”.
In “2_PT_CG_datoer” I want to search in the columns: “Tjek_at_blodprove_er_taget_1(udfyldes_automatisk) ”, ”2U_CG-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)” etc.
NB: I need an explanation for dummies as I am new to Access/Sql/codes in general
I'm working on a system where I have produced a unique order number (concatinated from other fields) which is to be given to a wholesaler when an engineer is on the road and has to purchase goods 'on account'.
How do I now use this number in reverse to to populate a report with all the relevant values.
Background :- I am referencing the following tables and using a date/day value
tblClient (via tblSite)
tblSite
tblEngineer
tblJob
I'm guessing that I have to use known fixed string lengths then split them off into the relevant sub strings but is it then possible to plug these values into a query?
I have been tasked to create a Web Search Emulation of some sort. I'm wondering if I could do it with Access. I'm thinking if I create a start page with a search field where the user can enter any word they would like (specifically a job search) and then link that field to a query that would look/search for that word in a table that has loads of entries to see if anything is found and if there is list the titles of the results in a clickable ListBox. Then, if they click something in the list, it would open another form with the details linked to that list item.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Access Find command from the ribbon.
Problem is Access searches only the field that has the focus.
I must first click on the field and then use Find.
Any way to get Access to utilize Find to look in all fields?
I have set General search in the options.
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.
The following search operation have to search some operation in the database, but there is a bug and I don't know why..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a Lookup method. I have it set as this:
Code:
SearchStr = FilterSearch & "(tblCalls.CustFirstName LIKE " & "'" & txtSearchBox.Value & "*' OR tblCalls.CustLastName LIKE '" & txtSearchBox.Value & "*')"
This will allow the user to search for a record by first or last name. But if they try and search with both it will not return anything. I need to to be searchable by first, last, or both.
I was wondering how do you get the the search results of a query to display on a pre set report, by clicking on a button on a form?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.
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.
how to search records by month and year.
example i will have form that contain combobox that will list Jan-Dec.
and also unbound box for user to enter the year.
then, it will have search button. after the user click search button, it will show report of the selected month and year.
I'm new to Access. I started building a database for work (I work at a nursery) and I used John's Dynamic Search code for an Inventory Input Database but I was wondering is it possible to use this code to input data into a table.
So basically I'm creating a database where I can input Item ID, Description(Plant name), Date, Location, Yard, and notes. For the Item ID and Description that is where I used the dynamic search code (as a combo box) so I can easily enter the Item ID and it will search for the Description. I got all this to work except that when I choose my selection it does not save on to the records. The other fields does save just not the dynamic search.
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.
I am trying to build a Multi Search Screen and just do not know how to achieve this. what I want the application to do is:
1) I Created a main form for data entry called 'Orderfrm'
2) The Orderfrm Field EmpNo - I created a Search Button.
3) Users to enter the Employee No or Surname or FirstName (multisearch) and hit the search button to search for the relevant employee.
4) I would like then to open a 'SearchFrm' with the details of the employee.
5) If it is more than one employee - the system to list them all
6) users will select the correct employee details and finally the system to autofill the details in 'OrderFrm'
I am attaching the database.
I have a database with over 100k records and I want to use a combo box to search for records by typing in the name. I found code to do this at: [URL] .....
This is working, however i have many fields on the form that I want to populate from the table after the search. Right now only the 3 fields from my rowsource combo box populate.
In my select statement do I need to SELECT * (all) and then populate the fields that way, or is there a way to populate from the table based on the ID of the record that is found?
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.
I would like to make a search box and update my form with the person's data from the search box.
