Help Needed For Parameter Search!
May 30, 2006
Hello,
I have got a serious problem with parameter searches. What I want are multiple field parameter searches in one query. I created a new query, and set the criteria to Like "*" & [...] & "*" for at least 5 fields. The problem now is, that the number of records get less the more parameter searches i create for different fields.
I tried to put the parameters into the "or" criteria but it still does not work!
please give me a hint.
Thank you!
John
PS please ask me when you did not understand my question.

Hello
Once more I'm desperate:
The most "stupid" thing happens when I close a form of mine:
A message box appears asking me to give a parameter value for a combo box that is included in my form. That combo box is used to find specific records in my form. It works perfectly, but the only problem that creates is that mentioned above. Why is a parameter value needed (only when I close the form)? The funny thing is that if I load the form and not click or update the combo-box, when I close the form everything works fine. I checked the vb-code a million times and there's nothing odd in the "after update" code. I must mention that when that msg box appears, whether i give a value to that message box or not,the form closes normally, without anything affected. But it's very annoying. If we could just by-pass that msg box, or eliminate the cause that makes it appear.......
Pls help.....
Thank you in advance

Hi
Bit of an Access beginner and am trying to sort something out for work - not sure why they've asked me!
I've created a query to search on a couple of items using drop down boxes on a search form I created. This bit of it works fine, I used this site http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm and copied what he had done. This is fine.
I now want to add a date search to the same query. I know I can use Between [..] AND [..] but if I leave the boxes blank it finds no records. I'd like it to search and include all.
Ideally I want to include 2 extra text boxes on my form that I can put a to and from date in (or not put a date in and it find everything).
Hope that makes sense, please can someone do me an idiots guide?
Many thanks
Phil

I have created a report that prints a transaction input via a form. All the data has been posted to tables while the document details are still on the form. The source for the report is a query that gets its "Document ID" from the current form as its CRITERIA. This works fine. I click a button and the report prints.
Now I've added a datasheet that lists all the "Document IDs" that have been posted within a given date range. I've added a Macro to open(reprint) the same report when any Document ID is double-clicked. This is working except that it prompts for a Parameter Value and references Forms!DocDataEntry!txtDocumentID. (Note: this is the name of the original data entry form which is no longer open)
If I manually type the Document ID (that I just double-clicked) in the parameter box, the report prints correctly. But this shouldn't be necessary.
I know I'm missing a WHERE clause on the Macro that opens the report but nothing I've input works. I can't even hard code a document number. Actually any Where clause provided prompts additional parameter boxes to open and they ALL require the SAME INFORMATION... the Document ID.
I'm thinking that the Criteria on the Document ID in the query should be changed to allow a Document ID from any active source.

This Forum is a God Send and everyone is so helpful. Ghudson's Audit Trail code saved me many hours of hair pulling :) Anyone out there who may be able to help with my Audit Trail Query?
Anyway, I've been developing a database for the last 2 weeks (night & day it seems!) to track "bugs" found in the code we (not me) develop, suggestions & new requirements and just when I thought I'd got it cracked they came up with the next requirement they'd forgotten to mention!! :eek:
I need a super snazzy search function. The top half of the screen is a form with various combo boxes of which some or all of the values can be selected i.e reference no. author, between dates and a keywords field (a bit like the search page at the beginning of this forum!). On clicking the 'Select' button all the records that meet the input criteria appear in the bottom of the screen in a data sheet view (Ref No. Description & Date). The user can the Double Click on the record they wish to view and they will be taken to the full record in the DataEntry Form.
I'm sure this isn't as complicated as it seems to me at the moment but I am so stumped I don't even know when to start. I've been writing databases for years using the wizards within Access but only recently started to experiment with code. I would really appreciate any assistance forum members can give me but as I am new to these complications please provide 'idiot proof' answers so I can understand what I am doing. :)
Thanks in anticipation

Hi
I have a table in sql holding telephone data. the starttime column and endtime column are both in "10/05/2006 12:55:56" format.
I want to run a parameter query that lets me search by agent name and then by date. The agent name is no problem but when running parameter query by date it brings back no data. I think this is because the time is also in the same field as the date. Ideally I would like to be able to run the query between certain dates, e.g. find data for agent1 between 2 different dates.
Any help would be more than appreciated!!
Thanks
Ben

In criteria of a Query I have this SQL: Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
This SQL is to write in a textbox one parameter at a time to search in a table.I need to search for more than one parameter at a time and I have been trying to add to the SQL the operator OR or AND but does not work.
Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" OR Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" AND Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
How can I search for more than parameters at a time?

I have attached a (slimmed down) Access 2007 database used for Asset Management and fault reporting. It opens on the main form which has a number of subforms and one sub-subform.
To make the form as user friendly as possible I am placing a number of unbound text boxes on the FormHeader to be used for search queries. The AfterUpdate event for each text box executes the necessary query, searching on the contents of the text box.
This works absolutely fine for the 'Colloquial Name' text box and associated field - this field is in the main table, RTI_Assets. The main form frmRTI_Assets is bound to this table. The query executed is called 'Colloquial Search'.
I cannot however get the 'Fault Reference' search to work on the field Supplier_Reference in the RTI_Fault table (the subform subfrmRTI_Fault is bound to this table). The query executed is called 'Fault Reference Search'.
There are 15 records in the assets table and 2 records in the faults table - with supplier references 555 and 101010.
I get prompted with Enter Parameter Value for the field RTI_Fault.Supplier_Reference if I enter 555 in the text box. Whatever I enter in this prompt I get returned to the first record.

I have searched for bits of code to copy other people better than I, and had some success but I am failing to complete, so it is now time for me to visit you all. I am trying to open a PDF from a button on a subform. The location of the PDF is specified in a field. I want to open the PDF and search for a Member ID criteria also listed in a field on the Form.This is my code:
Code:
Private Sub Text12_Click()
Dim strPath As String
Dim Searchmem As String
strPath = [Notetxt]
Searchmem = [MemID]
[code]....
Adobe Reader reports "There was an error opening this document. The file cannot be found." but then opens the file (that's something).So it's the "search" bit that is the problem, and I cannot for the life of me get my search parameter to be used.

I have 2 tables: Table A contains [ID] (and other columns) AND Table B contains [Request ID] (and other columns).
However, [Request ID] contains several number separated by comma. For example: 10, 15, 20 etc.
I created a query with parameter with : Like "*" & [ID] & "*" under [Request ID] criteria.
Here is my problem:
if [Request ID] = 44, 60 then it is returning [ID] 4 records (4, 6, 44, & 60). Is there a way to show only 2 records? 44 & 60?

I have a parameter query in which consists of a search statement as below:-
Search: [Model] & " " & [FiscalYear]
It works very well. I am wonder if there is any options available to affect the search results. As far as I understand, when I enter the key word into the pop up box, it will search the fields sequentially and populate the result. Can I enter different key word for each field? If so, what is the syntax for entering the key words.

I have a Main form, and a subform which lists client details. On the Main form I have an unbound field. I want to be able to type a word into this unbound field and have it display all company names that have this word in them. ie. I type "Ltd" into the unbound field and it displays all companies with "Ltd" in the title.
I have created a query that does exactly this (Like ("*" & [Enter Word] & "*")), it displays a dialog box and I type in "Ltd" and it displays all relevant companies.
I have tried everything I know to make this work when I use the unbound field on the Main form, but I've had no luck.

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.

I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.

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.

I 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.

1. 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.

Hi,
I have a query that requires a Start-Date and an End-Date to be input by user for the Where clause. It is asking for both over and over. I've had it ask from 1 up to 4 times! :eek: Shouldn't it store the input and only ask for it once? I'm thinking that the way my query is arranged may be causing it to have to loop through that section more than once to find the data, but that's just my theory. Any help would be great!
Here is my code (abbreviated slightly):
SELECT DISTINCTROW C1.*, C2.*
FROM Pen AS C1 INNER JOIN Jobs AS C2 ON C1.subno=C2.[Jobs Acct]
WHERE ((C1.typ="SS" Or C1.typ="CC" Or C1.typ="PP" Or C1.typ="TT") And C1.stdate>=[Enter Start Date] And C1.stdate<=[Enter End Date] And C2.[Type]<>"EE" And C2.[Type]<>"QQ" And C1.entdate<=C2.[ChangeDate]+60);
I'm selecting rows from "Pen" and "Jobs" that have the same subno/Jobs Acct numbers (text), then there are criteria for "Pen" types, user inputs criteria for date range (Start Date and End Date) and there are criteria for "Jobs" types. Finally, there's a cross-table criteria based on a date field ("Pen" entdate should not be more than 60 days past the "Jobs" ChangeDate). Tables are in quotes in my explanation here.
So running the above, it asks for user input "Enter Start Date", then again for "Enter End Date"...but then it asks for each again...and again...and sometimes again!
Help! :confused:
P.S..I didn't notice this repeating until I made it user input (parameter query) because it was using whatever dates I hard-coded in there before.

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.
