General :: Create Dataset With Ability To Search Through Macro Form?
Feb 23, 2013
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 a bound form which is from tblEmployee, I'd like to have a dataset below (like a splitform but not a split as they have limits) so when i search in the box it gives me say all the smiths - i select for example david smith and it displays his information in the form objects above so they can be edited?

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?

creating a VBA that will allow me to search for a record in Table A, and once the record is found, allow me the option to add that record to Table B. Is this possible to do if Table A and Table B are not formatted the same (i.e. one has more fields than the other)? In summary, creating a VBA that will allow me to search in one table and once the correct record is found, allow me the ability to add it to another table.

I've built a macro with wildcards that replaces multiple spaces of varying numbers after perods, commas, and before and after numbers. Now I want to add a search for the same before and after en dashes and hyphens. (Pretty soon I'll have Word streamling a lot of documents I edit!)

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 tabular form that lists all the records (address book). I'm trying to have a combo box filter the records by selecting a contact type (employee, supplier, customer). So far I have the contacts displaying in the combo box.I've tried to create a macro that begins "after update". Its an ApplyFilter macro.
Where Condition = [Contact Type]=[Contact Type Select]
[Contact Type Select] is the combo box.
When I do this, a popup box appears. When I type in the item I want, it works. I want this done automatically.

I support a database for some users who don't find the built in search function (ctl+f) to be useful enough.
The main data entry form of the database has fields for subdivision, lot number and address, any of which they may use to find the record they want. They're requesting that I add two types for searching:
* select sub and/or lot number as search criteria and have the selected record populate the screen
* type in a freeform address and have the record populate the screen
I'm debating about what the best approach would be to do this. Should I have a command button which opens a pop up form with the fields? If so, what is the code I will need to take the data selected/entered on the popup, run a query and then populate the underlying form? I think I need to pass parameters but I'm inexperienced at this so I need some guidance.
Also thinking that if I do create a popup form that I'll use it in the open event on the data entry form as well.
Thanks.

I think what I want is:
1 table(1): record of people & contact details
1 table(2): list of events with check box's with the names of people from the other table
1 report: listing how many events people have attended.
When I add a new person to table 1 I want a field to be added to table 2 in the form of a checkbox, also when I delete this person I want this field to be deleted in table 2.how to make this an automated process.

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 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.

Selecting the "General" group as this involves SQL Server Stored Procedures (SP) and VBA code and Reports and and and...
Client has requested exception type reporting noting when a price in a Bill of Materials (BOM) changes.
I am thinking to solve this with the following steps:
1) EXEC SP to run "this week's" BOM reports, automated, figure out how to print to PDF or something
2) EXEC SP to run "this week vs last week" exception report. A giant nasty:
Code:
SELECT cols....
FROM [xyz]
LEFT JOIN [histxyz] ON [xyz].[partnumber] = [xyzhist].[partnumber]
WHERE [xyz].[cola] <> [histxyz].[cola]
OR [xyz].[colb] <> [histxyz].[colb]
OR etc...
through each of the fieleds that are hooked up to change tracking. Run that SP once, then use that temp table to generate customized reports based on parts per product which had a change.
3) Update weekly state snapshot of all parts remembering this week's state... transfer data from [xyz] to [xyzhist], so TRUNCATE then INSERT commands.
Seems slow and monotonous, the snapshotting "shell game" aspect... perhaps I may wrap that all into a transfer SP and allow the data to stay right on the server as it moves tables.

I pulled a report from this website my company uses and it has around 7,000 orders and a corresponding employee to each record. Since each employee has around 20-50 orders, I was wondering if there was a VBA code or different Access tool to randomly select only 2 orders from each employee, thus reducing the data set from 7,000 to a more manageable number?

Lets say we have 100 documents. 30 of these documents contain the same exact set of instructions that i want to update/change. what options would i have that would allow for this 'mass update' so that i can change that specific instruciton and every document with that line would be updated to reflect it?

Is it all possible to create the equivalent of a combo chart in Excel in Access?
What I need is a graph showing a certain dataset as columns but also a line showing the average for that set.
As an example lets take an exercise programme in a school, each child performs a series of exercises every week and data is recorded, to monitor their fitness progression.
Lets say I wanted to show a graph of one particular exercise, with the class students listed along the x axis, and then show the class average for that exercise dataset as a line on the same graph.

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.

I've built a PostgreSQL database for some ecology data and am trying to use MS Access 2010 to make a front-end for it.
I've created a form to display site data; it includes such fields as site ID, site name, county, state, landscape, etc. (There are more, but if I can get the idea down with a couple of these, I should be good to handle the rest). One can click through the form and see 14 pages of site details, which is fine because there are 14 sites.
What I want to do now is make a search form in which one can enter values for site ID, site name, county, etc, and somehow get the pages of the display form that match those values. It's not terribly important to me how that output looks - whether it's a list of matches that allows for clicking on a match and showing just one page of the display form, or whether it's a filtered subset of the display form pages that one still clicks through to view them all.
if there is code to write, where do I type it? Do I start my search form by making a form with the search fields as values, or is there some other way? How do I make those search fields into search boxes rather than display boxes?

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 have a macro set to email a form to a person once a condition is met. This works fine but I've discovered that Outlook (2010) has to be open BEFORE this macro is invoked.
I wanted to add a step to the macro before the one that makes it email that basically says to open Outlook.
I have tried the RunApplication macro, but I apparently am not getting the path right. I don't understand what the problem is.
I accidentally dragged Outlook to my desktop and therefore created a shortcut from my Start Menu, but now when I go to Microsoft Office in my Start Menu, Microsoft Outlook isn't one of the options. I can't find the path to where it may reside now.
I am using the path to the shortcut on my desktop.

Hello,
I have a database with a huge table on the back-end, and then I want to set up various front-ends that will only show particular records that a user is interested in.
I notice that, when I query the big table without any join, I get all the records and also a space for entering a new record--that's what I want. But, when I add a join that serves to filter the records to the ones the particular user would be interested in, the space for entering a new record goes away. This is the case whether I view the query itself, or the form that uses the query.
Does anyone know how I can keep the ability to add new records while also making the query a bit more complex?
Thanks in advance.
