General :: Create A Web Search Emulation
Oct 10, 2014
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.

I am creating an access database to store customer details as well as quote information. I have created a form to input quote details that our office can complete when a customer calls to complete a quote. I need to create a form that opens as a new form every time we click on the form to input a new quotation. How do I do this? At the moment when I click on the form, the form opens but the details of the last quotation are stored on the open form.
I have no training in access at all and am self taught so far so by no means an expert.I also want to create a form that allows you to search for particular quote numbers, so if someone calls and asks about a particular quote number we click on a page that says 'search quotes', input the quote number and the form opens with all the details of that quote.

I have a web database that I am trying to create a search feature for just 2 of the fields. The search is for a certain date and also a shop are the 2 fields I would like to have the search run for.
Once the search has been run I would like to generate it into a report.
I have already created the report/ form and the query. I am not sure where I need to go from here. I have created the from with the date and also a combo box for the list of the shops and then a button that says search that will go to the report. I just need it to show all the particular items that show the date and or shop. If you leave them both blank it will run a report and show everything. Then if you just put a date in it will run a report with just that date or the same with the shop.

i orginally thought i should do this in excel but i think when the dataset becomes larger and i want to eventually get it on the web - i thought its access i need?
i have created a mini dataset as an exmaple of what im trying to explain..i have in first column the objects, and columns after this are the elements needed to make the object (i have just labelled the element titles a b c etc - there will be LOTS of elements once i get the dataset created). so if i had a red blue green cream elements - a search would bring back both lights and lamps that i am able to make.
object A B C D E F G H
lights red blue green cream
lamp red blue green cream
garage red blue green cream yellow brown purple pink
house orange white green blue red black
garden orange white green blue red
garden house orange white green blue red
is there a way of creating a search lookup to this kind of information? a form which you type the criteria in and it brings back what you can make? if i was one element away from an object could I use a wildcard function to say, if you had black you could make a house?? etc

I have an extremely large database which is in a continuous form format, and what I would like to happen is, instead of using the find button that would just find a word, I would like to have a pop-up search box that would yield actual texts throughout the DB (something like the search feature in Adobe Acrobat). In addition, I would like to use the "and" or "plus" together to search for additional data if needed. Please, unless there is a sample I could download and use in my db, please be specific in your instructions since I am new to all this.
Thanks!!

Hi,
I am a total newbie to access.
We have a small business and i do all the admin. I've created a database of all our contacts (name, address, phone number, fax number, etc) and i've managed to create a form that allows me to enter the data into that instead of directly into the database window.
The last thing i want to do is create a search form or add a button to my existing data entry form that will allow me to type in a contacts name, address, or any other thing about them i remember at the time, and be taken straight to that entry. Once this is done that is all i need to know for the moment.
I've tried an example i found on microsoft's site but can't get it to work properly.
Can anybody help. I'd imagine this is very very simple but i can not get the answer myself.
Thanks.

Hiya guys, I need to create a form that works exactly in the same way as a query works, so there's a criteria text box on the top of the form and a list box displaying all results. I know a query does this but i need a user friendly way of displaying this information.
The search is for customer names and i need to display this information in a user friendly way because my users will need to search the database before deciding whether the customer has been inputted into it or not.
I tried to create this using a query having the criteria as the form's text box value (as an expression) but when I input values into the text box the query does not update unless i reopen the query in edit mode and perform a search manually.
My email is aabaaiaaa@gmail.com if any of you guys have any ideas! Thanks

I'm using Open Form, and setting the Where condition to a Parameter called search, so that a pop up asked for search parameter from user. If there users search fails to get any matches, a blank form is returned.
Can anyone suggest a better way to achieve this, so I can include a message to say no data found??
This is all my click event reads thus far...
DoCmd.OpenForm "FindLesseeForm", acNormal, "", "[Lessee]![LesseeName] Like [Search]", acReadOnly, acNormal
Thanks

You guys are awsome!
Is there anyway to use Like in queries where the user could type in more than one word?
I have a text box (search title), on a form (Search).
On after update the text box, opens a query.
The criteria in the query for the Title field is:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![search title] & "*"
this works great for one word or phrase.
I would like the user to be able to type in 2 words, and have the query find all the records where the first word is in the Title, and where the second word is in the Title. And so on with 3 words or more.

I have uploaded an example of my database
As you can see there are two tables and two forms.
What i want is for a user to view or enter data for a record on the first form.
And then when they are done they click the button to open up form2.
What i want to happen is for the company name/id from the record in form1 to be searched for when form2 opens and to display only the data for that record when opened. If no data exists for that record in form2/table2 then for it too create a record for that company when form2 is opened from form1
hope this makes sense and you can help
Please note this is just an example so if there is wrong naming conventions and such please ignore if there is as i just wanted to display quickly what i want to acheive

I'm working in Access 2010. I have a simple form that is bound to table "Jobs" in which the key field is job number.
I want to create a search drop down. I need it to display both the job number and the customer name; and I would like the user to be able to start typing the customer name in the dropdown and for the drop down to pull it up as I'm typing it.
I create a simple query for the row source of my drop down:
SELECT Jobs.Job_Number, Customers.Customer_Name
FROM Jobs LEFT JOIN Customers ON Jobs.Job_Number = Customers.Job_Number;
When I run the query, I get both columns. I set the bound column to 1.
Column count = 2.
Column widths =1";1"
Go to run it and it displays only the job number in the drop down after I select. In addition, it does not filter at all.

I have a database that I created that uses a form to fill out information about server builds. I contains information about who built it, the IP address, server name, etc. I want to be able to create a dailog box that allows the user to input a server name to query the database and create a report based on that input. And if the user input isn't found in the database, a dialog box comes up with some sort of error message. I am still pretty new to Access, so the more detail you can give me the better. Thank a lot.

This is what the search box must do:
- Searches 3 fields (StudentID, FirstName, LastName) and jumps to the relevant record.
The closer to the search box in the navigation bar below, the better, so this is what I would really like too.
- A repeat click would take me to the next result/record (if any) with the same criteria
- Instant search as soon as I start typing
