Help Getting A Search Button To Work
Nov 5, 2007
Hi there people, i have created a query that searches through different fields within the database, and on its own works fine, enter some or no data and it will return what you have entered. The problem is i have created a form with text and combi boxes on that i can enter the query parameters into in one place, but i can not get the search button to use this data and filter the query? the query is a subform on the main search form and is refreshed when the search button is pressed but with no filters defined by the text/ combi boxes. can anyone help please?

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 need to implement a Quick search feature in my employee application.
So that when any text is typed into the textbox, it searches the db for a match:
e.g.
firstname
lastname
ss#
employeeId
deptId
officelocation
deptname
It returns the record in the employee table that consist of the text typed in the search box. Most websites have this quick search feature (blanket search..is that what it's called?) and a link for advanced search, where they can select specific fields to search.

i have a search form (see atachment1) with 2 combo boxes.
i have a pruduct form that runs on this query:
Code: SELECT * FROM tblSpeler WHERE (((tblSpeler.merk)=forms!frmZoeken!zoektekst1) And ((tblSpeler.type) Like forms!frmZoeken!zoektekst2));
if i start the the product form, it asks me for the make, and then for the player » it finds the right player in the form.
but via my search form it won´t work. it only opens the product form and no records are shown.
so: in the search form, when i select a "make", and then the "type", and then press search. i want it to show the right record in the product form.
+
when i select a make (eg "apple"), i want the type combo box to exclude all the types that are not from apple (eg only: ipod mini, ipod 20gb. right now it´s like in atachment2.
i know this is a common question, been trying to figure it out with a eg database, but i can´t get it done. all help is welcome
thanks,
-d

I 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.

I am trying to get a wildcard search to work with a form.
I have a query, in which the criteria is:
Like "*" & [Enter a word] & "*"
That works fine. I enter a word, and I get the few records in which the word appears.But if I try to replace [Enter a word] with a word entered on a control on a form, it doesn't work - I get all the records. This is my code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Myform]![Mycontrol]&"*"
What am I doing wrong?

I get a bizarre situation while I am using MS Access 2010 to select values with Combo Boxes on a form, i.e.:
* After I select one or more values from the drop-down list of a Combo Box, there is no response when clicking OK button using the mouse. It is stalled. I need to do the process again and then the mouse-click on OK button could work: click anywhere outside of the combo box, re-select the values, click OK Button, and done.
* However, I can always use Enter key (on the keyboard) upon OK button to complete the selection.
* The values in the drop-down list of the Combo Box were entered manually.
What is wrong with the combo boxes on the form? Why do I need to do twice to complete the selection using mouse-click? Why the keyboard-click ('Enter') can be always OK but not for the mouse-click?

I need some help with a simple function in access.
I am trying to create an application whose purpose is to maintain a database of customer names and addresses. This is contained in a table called tblCustomers.
I have create a from whose purpose is supposed to be to search within the table by zip code and return them to the user via a report. The form is called frmZipLookup and contains a text box called 'zip' and a button called 'GetReport.' 'zip' is where the user inputs the desired zip code, 'getreport' is the button that is supposed to bring up the search results.
Now, at first I created a report called rptCustomers based on the tblCustomers, and I had the button bring up this report, however I was not sure how to limit the report to only the zip code entered on the form.
I created a query called qryZipLookup. I put tblCustomers in this query and dragged down the * field and the zip code field from the table.
I would like to use a sql statement to make this work, but so far none of the statements I have written have produced any results at all.
How can I create a button which will search within the table by the zip code field?

* This code works to search frmMember for criteria found in tblMember:
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
If Len(cboSearchField) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchField) = True Then
MsgBox "You must select a field to search."
ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then
MsgBox "You must enter a search string."
[Code] ....
* But this next code which I have copied and Pasted to frmEventInput, then renamed the frm and tbl, retrieves the same criteria as the above (tblMember) instead of the tblEventInfo...
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
If Len(cboSearchField) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchField) = True Then
MsgBox "You must select a field to search."
ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then
MsgBox "You must enter a search string."
[code]...
What am I missing?

Hi,
I wish to place a command button next to a specific field which when clicked, launches the search command ready to search records against that field.
I have already tried this and managed to place a button to search - however, this searches every field in every record - I just want to search 1 specific field.
I am a bit new to this, so please be as untechy as possible!
Thanks,
Ritchie.

I have a MS Access database, and I have set up a form for users to input
name, address, ssn and other data. I have command buttons on the form
to print a record, add a record, delete a record and to exit. I tried the
search option, but with 50k records on a netwoek, it was to slow.
Is there a way to have a search on a command button, (Macro?) on
this form to allow our employees to search by name or ssn?
Thanks for your help.

I have a search form from which the user can search by multiple criteria.
Currently users run the search by pressing a button on the form with the mouse, the keyboard enter button just tabs around the form.
My question is can I get the enter button to run the search rather than tab around the form?
If so how?
Thanks.
Larry.

I'm fairly new to Access / VBA and have been trying relentlessly to get a text box / search button on my Access form to pull up a specific record. Although the null command produces the correct error msgBox, it does not show any record if I enter a correct primary key term.
Search button = SearchButton1
Search criteria = SearchText1
Primary key field = UniqueAEVRef
Code:
Private Sub SearchButton1_Click()
If IsNull(SearchField1) = False Then
Me.Recordset.FindFirst "[UniqueAEVRef]='" & SearchField1 & "'"
Me!SearchField1 = Null
If Me.Recordset.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "No record found", vbOKOnly + vbInformation,
Me!SearchField1 = Null
End If
End If
End Sub

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.

I have a search button / text field on a form with the following code:
Private Sub SearchButton1_Click()
Code:
Dim rsTemp As Recordset
If IsNull(Me.SearchField1) = False Then
Set rsTemp = Me.RecordsetClone
rsTemp.FindFirst "[CompassRef] = '" & Me.SearchField1 & "'"
If Not rsTemp.NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = rsTemp.Bookmark
[Code] .....
Unfortunately it only returns the 'No record found' MsgBox, even if SearchField1 is populated with relevant content.

Attached is the database...
And also, how to put Reset BUTTON - to reset the search box and ready for the user to type again.
