Help With Searching Database

May 10, 2005

I have built a basic database to hold details on all my computer books and software as i hundereds of them.

I have built a table with text, number and memo fields which i want to be able to search.

What i would like is a form where you can enter details into various fields (eg Title, Author, a field to search all fields, etc) and then display the results in a table in the form below it. Then when the record is double-clicked it opens the record ina new form displaying more details.

Is there a way to do it as i have spent months trying to figure it out and trying to include the sample databases?

I have attached my database so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aden

Searching In Access Database

Sep 27, 2004

I have a small search page that is very precise. ie. it returns the first record that is the same.
Is there anyway I can make a search form that is a bit fuzzy. ie if i had a field dedicated to the make of a vehicle can I filter it out for that make of vehicle. I've been using a filter, but it all seems rather messie.

Help

Regards

Asperation

PS, on the upside if there is anyone that needs help making a precise search page im happy to paste the code.

Searching A Database; Newbie Question

Mar 13, 2008

Hi there,

I am designing a search tool for a database table which has attributes such as part number, manufacturer's part number, description, etc. Each item in the database has all these attributes associated with it.

When I search, I am trying to allow a popup to occur when I want to access a modified report that has my search results computed. I created a query and a report, added some SQL code to it, etc. I can basically click the report and have my inquiry window come up asking for the part number, but I'm not sure if it's associated with my database because when I put in the #, the report comes up blank.

I right-clicked my Report and look under "Objects that I depend on" and my Queries tree is full of dependencies that point me to my database table. There is, however, still no report with any substance that I can pull up no matter what part # I put in.

Does anyone know what's going on? I know this is really easy and it's driving me crazy cause I've never used Access before. I don't necessarily have time for tutorials and any lesson enrollment since it's for work, and my profession has absolutely nothing to do with this. Ha.




Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

Searching

Jun 25, 2007

Hi, I have two questions which i dont think are two far apart, hence same thread.

First is, how do i make a search text box, that when i click a button searches for what is in that text box, rather than bringing up the find box. It is alright but it always compares it to what was last tabbed, or is the selected tab, and i want it always to compare to another textbox called company name.

secondly. I am often entering entries to the database with the same details. but a different name, how can i have it so that i enter say 4 or 5 names which starts 4 or 5 new records, but then places the rest of the details across all the new records.

THANKS

Searching

Apr 11, 2006

Hey all.

I have a database but want to create a Search function.

I want the search function to read a drop down box for a table name, then read two text box's for search criteria then search the table and displat results.

My knowledge of Microsoft Access is limited.

I think I have the theory behind it but not the know how for the coding.

So far I have been able to get it too look at the List Box for the table name then when I hit the search button ive set it to just open the table for now.

but cant get any further, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Searching An Entry With VBA

May 12, 2006

Hello, I'm trying to search an entry of a recordset with VBA

The entry can only be found by searching 3 field values. In my case the correct entry can only be found if the data in the field Date, No_Employe and No_Project all match the data of the entry I want.

Findnext doesn't work, it only access one field and I need three.
Seek doesn't work since it need to search a key, and neither Date, No_Employe or No_Project are keys.

How can I proceed ?

Should I use multiples Findnext ( how do I do that ? ) ?


EDIT :

Also please note that I'm searching for 400-500 entries in a row, so speed is an issue.

Searching Through A TextBox

Dec 11, 2006

Hi All,

I have a small yet important question to ask. I have a text box on a form, that text box accepts a product number that the user wants to modify. I want to be able to do the following:

- If the product number does not exist, prompt with an error message (this part is not a problem).
- If the product number does exist, populate the text boxes on the form with the respective data. ex: Product number 512547. Does exist, hence: (TB = textbox)
Prd. No.TB = 512547
Rec'd Date.TB = 10/10/2006
Comments.TB= blah blah blah, etc.
I am simply trying to pull information from a table into text boxes on a form using a text box.

THANKS A MILLION!

Searching With Combo Box

Aug 7, 2007

In my Access DB, I have a field named ‘REFNO’. This contains reference numbers of some communications. I have a Combo Box to search records with this ‘REFNO.’ It so happened that there were two communications with the same REFNO. When I typed the wanted number in the Combo Box, only one record was displayed in the form which was not the one I wanted. I was able to see the other record by opening the table. Is there a way to display the next record with the same number in the form with the Combo Box? Grateful for help.

Searching For Dates

Nov 11, 2005

I have to database where people enter information and some times miss entering in a field value called [Scanned Invoice] the db automatically gives every entry a date.

The first part was find out which jobs where missing a [scanned invoice] 24hrs ago by making a query [scanned invoice] Is Null [Date Entered] =date()-1 which works fine.

I then realised that sometimes people access the system on a saturday and as the system used globally and different countries have weekends on different days and theres the issues of every country having different back holidays. So i think that rules out networking days.

Is there away where i can get the query to check if the previous day had and entry and keep going back until it finds the next entry?

I tried an iif statement but i am new to Access and i could not get it to work.

I have tried iif(date()="0",date()-1) that seems to work but i can not get it to work any futher? HELP????

WHERE ((((Tbl_Addresses.Name)OR(Tbl_Addresses.Quickname) ) Like "*" & [Enter a Name] & "*"));

However this doesn't return any results? it works if i search for just the Tbl_addresses.Name or the Tbl_Addresses.Quickname but not for both? does anyone know how to fix this problem?

String Searching

Mar 20, 2006

I have a problem with an SQL query that is used to create a report, the query itself works fine, however I need to get it to do something extra. Basically we have a column that contains 1-3 letters. The letters are A, B and C. The query searches the database and returns result depending on which of the letters we entered. We do this using the like statment -:

SELECT * FROM TableUser WHERE UserType LIKE B

So the above SQL statement returns all entries with the letter B in the column UserType. Also we my need to search for AB, which returns all entries with AB and ABC. The problem is that we sometimes need to search for AC, which should return the values AC and ABC. The problem is that it only returns the values AC and not ABC. I know why it does this as it is searching for a string like 'AC', I am just not sure how to get round the problem. Is there a way of searching the string for the Value AC so that it returns the entries AC and ABC.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers
Andy
