Hi, Im trying to make a google like search query on my database so a user can type in one word and then the database will search for all the records which contain this word and display them.
Any ideas?? I only want it to search through the one table,
Im no expert on VB so if someone could translate it into basic english that would be good.
Cheers
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 RelatedDid you know that you can use Google to search the Access Forum and get a more refined result?
I find that the search facility provided is excellent at searching for single words. However it does not provide the sophistication of tools like Google for searching for exact phrases.
To get this sophistication do this:
Open Googles advanced page: (http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en)
The first section of this page is shaded blue, and contains the following items:
with all of the words
with the exact phrase
with at least one of the words
without the words
You can add words to varying degrees of sophistication for your search.
This is the important bit!
Just below this blue shaded area there is another section, go to the fifth item down in this section which is:"Domain" also make sure "Only" is selected. In the next text box (to the right of Only) place the domain you want to search in, this case you want to search the Access Forum so place in this box the following:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums
Now give it a try! Try searching for: "Date Selection" (without the Quotes)
If you search for this with the above Google method, you will get 90 results, If you search this result with the Forum search then you will get over 300 results.
Caveats:
Your search will only return items within the access-programmers site, and only items that are allowed to be indexed by Google.
Cheers Tony...
The table I created keeps track of several addresses and I use a report to print them into a booklet. I'd like to include a small map in the printed booklet for each group or one map showing all the addresses in the booklet but I am not sure if there is a simple way for Access and Google Maps to communicate. Anyone have experience in this area? Thanks in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to show ( or print ) on a report a specific URL on Google Maps with the ActiveX control "Microsoft Web Browser".
I managed to use the Google API on a form to show the actual URL found with X and Y coordinates.
Now I'd like to show the same URL on a report to send to the customer as a reference. Is there a way to get this done?
I already put a ActiveX control (Ms Web Browser) on a report and used the same URLstring in the ActiveX control , but nothing is shown on the screen.
We have a form with the web browser control which links to Google maps and jumps to that location on the map by the lat and long and updates as you jump to each record. (The control is on a form and is only used there) The map itself works however i get a script error every time i jump to the next record....

I want to access my database from different locations. More than 1 user may be using it at the same time.
Can I put the back-end of a split database in a Google Drive folder or a Dropbox folder and have multiple copies of the front-end for each user in their own location.
I know that Dropbox creates copies if two people update the backend at the same time. What about Google Drive? How does Google Drive handle it.
What are the potential problems of using these two services to share a database?
I'm trying to create an automated way of making a way to contact our personnel in case phones cannot be used. I have a list of all the address and currently separated by cities. I want to step it up a bit and with the use of google maps create a shortest route map. So one representative from one city will go to each house, another will go to the other cities to another rep, who then goes to each house in their city.
I would need a map for one person to each of the other reps.
And a map for the reps to drive the shortest route yet hitting all targets.
Is this within the scope of Access and Google Maps? I've looked at some of the database made by others on here but none of them show ability to find shortest route.
Trying to get google maps to display on a form.
When it loads google maps webpage it goes straight to a page that says the following.
"You seem to be using an unsupported browser. Old browsers can put your security at risk, are slow and don't work with newer Google Maps features. To access Google Maps, you'll need to update to a modern browser".
why the code below is not functioning properly. When I type in an acronym in the textbox, it keeps saying there is an error "Run-time error '3345': Unkown or invalid field reference 'ABO'." I do have ABO in the field.
The dysfunctional code:
Code:
Private Sub btnFind_Click()
If (TxtFind & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[Acronym] = " & TxtFind
[Code] .....
The red highlighted line is where the debugger leads me to. Something with identifying the field? I would like to enable the search procedure to search throughout the entire records rather than just a specific field. How may I write such a line or two?
I have a form that has a subform on it. The main form shows a category of furniture and has custom navigation buttons and a search text box for asset numbers and command button that runs the search. The subform shows the asset numbers associated with that furniture category, sometimes there is only one asset number, in other cases there could be 60. There is a scroll bar to scroll through the asset numbers when there are too many to see in the initial window.
The buttons all work as they should except when I search for an asset number that is part of a category that has too many asset numbers to show in the main window. When this happens the "previous" and "next" navigation buttons do not take you to the previous or next record. All of the other buttons on the form work though - you can go to the first, or the last record, and you can search for a new asset.This is the code for the search:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAssetSearch_Click()
Dim rs As Object
If IsNull(Me.TextAsset) Or Me.TextAsset = "" Then
MsgBox "Please type in an asset number to search for.", vbOKOnly
Me.TextAsset.SetFocus
[code]....
I've also attached a picture of what I mean when I say there are more asset numbers than what the window shows.
I 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a search form that uses a query to show results of a search, but everytime I press search everything comes up even though I have entered search parameters, even though my search requeries every time and the search used to work before I added new records today. Also when I press the query alone on the navigation pane it asks me for the parameters and then it actually works but it won't when I use my form.
View 2 Replies View Related1. I created a form with some search-fields which are related to a query. Then I added a Subform in which I put some more Search criteria (So that I can easily hide and unhide those additional searchfields). It sounds strange but is necessary ;-). Now I related those searchfields in the subform to the same query. When I run that query a window pops up that I should put in a value in all those searchfields which are in the subform. But I told Access that it should display all rows, if there is no value in those searchfields. Just as I did it with the Searchcriteria in the Main form. Do I have to do something special, when I have a query which is related to two Forms?
2. I want a searchfield to search in three different columns. Usually the value will just be found in one of those columns. As the Table I search is very long and has many searchfields and multiple of those will relate to more than one column, is there an easy way to do it in VBA? As I did it by using the "or" field when designing a query, but this seems very slow and unstable.
i need to create a system that can search data using keyword.so i want to create search button that i will create it at form. currently i have 1 table and in that table i have 10 fields which are project_name, doc_ref_no, doc_title, volume, book_no, author, doc_status, box_barcode, filling_location, doc_availability.
i have create 2 forms, one form for user to add new record and another one is to search record. the user can search by enter project name, doc title, volume and box barcode. for project name and volume, i use combo box and for doc title and box barcode i'm using text box.
i want to create search function that can detect from user keyword and even user did not fill in all the form, the system still can search the record.
I am creating a a text box where the user enters a text then clicks an option from the option that is used as the criteria for the search e.g. Last Name, Phone , address then a command button wil run a query.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a database that uses four forms and each form has it's own table and each form has it's own search button to find a specific record within that table. I would like to use one search button that will look at all four tables and bring up the correct record when the request number is entered. Can I link all the tables to perform this or is code required? Can someone send me in the right direction for how to do this? Give me an example of code if it's required?
Thanks for any help I can get.

So basically, what I have is a bunch of words in one memo field, for example:
dog cat cowboy tree flower
To search it, this is the code I have now.
' Check for LIKE Last Name
If Me.txtLastName > "" Then
varWhere = varWhere & "[LastName] LIKE """ & Me.txtLastName & "*" * " AND "
End If
The only problem is what I search for needs to be "in order", for example, if I search for dog, I'll get the table. But, if I seach for tree, I won't because tree was not place first. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot!
Ok, i have a search query as follows
SELECT Table1.*, Table1.[Winning Contractor]
FROM Table1
WHERE (((Table1.[Winning Contractor])=[Who was the winning bidder?]));
This works well except if the user doesn't captialize a letter or doesn't type in the full company name. Is there a way to change this search to a like search instead of an exact one?
Hello
I have a main form with a search command button in the header. This search facility looks for information in a subform. At the moment I can't seem to get it to work.
Main form called Building
Subform called LineTypeSub
Field its trying to search is called Line
Here's the code I have at the moment.
Private Sub cmdSearchLine_Click()
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
DoCmd.GoToControl ("Line")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!SearchLine
Line.SetFocus
SearchLine = Line.Text
SearchLine.SetFocus
strSearch = SearchLine.Text
End Sub
If anyone could help that would be great, thanks.
My search form has, say, 5 search boxes. Eg.
Vee
Cathederal
RIB
Keel
Lifting Keel
I need to have all the boxes visible and searchable. BUT I only want to search one or two at a time. How do I do this?
I have built a custom search form in a MS Access 2010 database so that users can find specific records to edit. After entering the search criteria and hitting a Search button, another form opens up that shows the search results. This second form includes a command button for generating a report of the search results.
Right now, the custom search form and the search results form are both working properly, but the search results report is showing every record in the database instead of just the search results. This is true whether I access the report via the command button in the form or the navigation pane. I'm not sure if I need to correct my VBA code or the report's properties.
HI!
I'm trying to figure out, how to make seach form with one text field, that will accept OR statements. I have one table with fields name, category, and description.
Is there any chance to make search like this:
User will put "part of the string" OR "part of the string2".
Result will be the list of the records that include these parts of the strings in any of the given above fields (name,category,description)
I hope i'm clear enough
Thank You in Advance
for any Advice
Hi
Im creating a query where the user specifies a word and it will search for all entries based on that word. The problem is I dont know how to tell the system to Search for the word anywhere in the sentence at the moment it searches for a match at the begining of the sentence. I think an example is neccessary
E.g I want to search for all entries that have an "Area" word in the sentence
My system has values in a column that contain : Picnic Area, Work area etc
My current search will only work if you type Picni or Work
Im using:
Like [Enter Location] & "*"
Help Please?!?! :confused:
