This Question Actually Goes In Two Threads.....
Jul 21, 2007I am trying to build a db for my small company. I would like to set up a report that has the same functions as a bank statement so I can show my clients what they have made on a certain date and what they have spent, as well as the balance. I thought it'd be a simple SQL but was wrong. I went to several other db forums and was led only as far as I got on my own then they seemed to have left. Is it too difficult?
I need to take the [Total] of a sale, multiply it by .3 (this is our commission). What's left in the [Total] I need to subtract the various expenses (PostageCost, CopiesCost, GasCost, OtherCost, PhoneCost) to have a balance. Again, the entire report should look like a bank statement with either a debit or credit on certain dates. Each report is printed monthly for each individual clients.
Does that make sense?
Calculating Workdays... And Previous Threads
Nov 14, 2006Hello.
I've been trying very hard to get through the various instructions, code, modules, etc, on calculating workdays. I am having no luck in getting this done. As one who can write an Access database only to the point of a little VBA, using mostly queries and formulae to get by, I have difficulty with posted code from time to time.
For example, in a previous thread (actually, in several previous threads), code was posted with the instruction (essentially), "Here. Use this." To which someone replies, "Thanks, worked a charm." Or the like. As one who struggles and has limited responsibilities in this area (and little time to learn while on the job), posted code can be a blessing... but "Here. Use this." can be its attached curse. "HOW do I use it?" is the next question. Is it a module? Do I put it as code on the On Open event for a form? Is it an expression I build into a query? Sometimes, seeing the code is only the first step... and for one like me, can lead to a lot of trouble.
Also, many have been kind enough to post databases, which show the end result of much work. This is also greatly appreciated, believe me. But, again, once I start looking to HOW it was built... the investigation sometimes leads nowhere. Where do I look for code? Did I miss something? Why doesn't mine work like that?
So, for the question I have now, I have searched this and other forums. I have copied and pasted code that I thought should work. I have copied code into a module and tried to call up that module in a query. I have followed instructions as well as I could... but you can guess where this is headed. What I have is, in the simplest form, a table called Employees with the fields Name, StartDate and EndDate. I need to know how many workdays there are in the date range of StartDate to EndDate, including the dates in those fields.
If you have answered this question before, I apologize for not being able to figure this out. Any help is greatly appreciated.
VBA - Search Button To Search Entire Records / Runtime Error 3345
Jun 18, 2014why 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?
Modules & VBA :: Search Code Deactivates Navigation Buttons When Search Results Are Longer Than A Page
Jun 24, 2015I 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.
Queries :: Add A Box On Search Forms To Search 3 Cells Of Record For A Keyword
Jun 10, 2013I 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 1 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Search Form That Uses A Query To Show Results Of A Search
Aug 5, 2014I 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 RelatedUsing Subform For Search Criteria And Relating One Search Field To Several Columns
Apr 21, 20151. 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.

Mar 10, 2008I 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?

How To Search For Words Out Of Order In An Access Search
May 15, 2006So 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!
Is There A Way To Change This Search To A Like Search Instead Of An Exact One?
Apr 17, 2007Ok, 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?

Reports :: Search Results Report Shows All Database Records / Not Just Search Results
Apr 29, 2014I 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.
Search Form With "or" Input Search Posibility?
Jan 31, 2006HI!
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

Like Search??
Sep 23, 2005Hi
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:

Aug 22, 2006Hi,
I need to create a form with a search mechanism that brings up a record as soon as you start typing what you are searching for.
For example:
If I want to search for a name called Bee; as soon as I type B the database should return all names that start with B.
Does anybody know about any tutorials/articles on how to implement this please?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Jul 31, 2007Hi
I have a table with a list of sizes in. The fields are min height, max height, min chest, max chest, and size. I am wanting to somehow make a way of imputting a height and a chest size and getting the corresponding size, so it will need to search greater than the min and smaller than the max of the height and chest.
I have tried everything that I can think of with queries and a command button with code but still cant quite figure it out
can anyone help??
Thank you

Feb 7, 2008Hi
I am trying to create a search box on my form. I can create an unbound txt box and use a comand button to open a form and display a particular fields fine however this isnt quite what I want.
I want to be able to use an unbound txt box and be able to search different fields. So I would imagine it would be an unbound txt box followed by a list box (with the list of avalible fileds to search) then a command button.
Does anyone know if I am on the right track and any idea how to do this?
Thanks
