Is there a way to search an entire database? Almost like a Google search where a user could put in a few key words and it would retrieve all records no matter which fields the key words appeared in?
View RepliesI wonder if by any chance it is possible to create a search bar that scans the entire database- or lemme say the fields i assigned to such search bar- that can be put in the switchboard or so.
According to my level of understanding of access, this should be a query.
However, is it possible to make it appear like a search bar that could be placed where I want it; in this case in the switchboard??
Does it require a certain code or something?
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 table that has the following: Joint Account, Employer, Employer1...Employer20, subemployer1, subemployer2... subemployer5, addemployer1, addemployer2... addemployer5, removeemployer1, removeemployer2....removeemployer5.
It might be possible that any of the columns with the word "employer" in them have the same number in them. The Joint Account column might have the repeating number in it as well.
I want to be able to push a button on a form open a input box and enter a 7 digit employer number and search through the whole table and return all the rows where that number particular number is.
I have tried building a query using "like" in the criteria but you can only use that 8 times.
I have searched through this forum, but I am unable to find something that I could use. As I m not a seasoned access user, I do not quite know what to do with some of the other "search" questions I have seen.
Thank you in advance for any help that could be given or pointing in the right direction.

I have a form with two unbound text boxes: HireMovieID and HireCustomerID, and a button HireButton which runs my query: HireHistoryQuery. Then I have a table: HireHistory. In my HireHistory table, I have my CustomerID's along the top as column names. Then the records for those columns are in this sort of format: "0001 on 19/05/2006" as type Text.How can I make it so that when a user enters a Customer ID (e.g. 23) into my HireCustomerID box in my form, it shows column number 23 and all it's records?
Also, what code do I need so that if someone enters something into the HireMovieID text box in my form (e.g. 0001) it shows all of the instances of that from the whole table in its respective column?
I'm trying to make a search form that makes use of queries that search a table based on what fields I have. How would I go about having the query display all the fields for the record(s) that match the search criteria? This is for Access 2010.
As far as the query is set up, I have several fields with a search criteria, and the others are for displaying the relevant information about the results (since they're not search criteria, I used "Like '*'"). When I ran the query, it doesn't come up with anything - even if the record actually exists in the table with specified criteria.
Hi :rolleyes:
I would like when I click a button for the system to automatically create a copy of the whole database and place it into a separate folder. How would I do this??? :confused:

Hi,
I am running an autocompact module in Access97 which will created a 'compacted version' of my database. I then want to rename this compacted version to the name of the original database I compacted. I cannot however find a way of doing this in code.
Basically the idea is to compact every 45 minutes or so, but what my autocompact is doing is creating a compacted version under a different name, and so compacting a copy of the database, I then want to change this compacted database name to the original name and re compact every 45 mins
Can anyone help?
I have access BD and every one use it through shared folder. My problem is in attachment ! , if i use the regular attachment filed in access there is one user only able to attach files and others can`t attach any thing until he finish.
I tried to do attachment through VBA like below which make it worse as it lock the DB so, no one can even open the DB and one user only access the DB .
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rsParent As DAO.Recordset2
Dim rsChild As DAO.Recordset2
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rsParent = me.Recordset
[Code] .....
How multi users attach files at the same time without locking the DB.....
Not a very important question and is just for aesthetics however is there a way to make every form, every command button the same colour, font, size etc?
I have selected a theme however it does not change all forms, labels, text boxes, etc
I don't really want to have to go change them all one by one
For example I would like to get rid of all the navigation on all my forms can you change it over whole database or just individually?
Is there any way i can a button on a form which will make a copy of my entire database?

I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?
View 4 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.

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.
hello,
I have made a database in access, my question is what do i need to do to be abble to search the database with a webbrowser-like interface, its just for my local machine, no internet.
thx for any help
Hi All,
This is my first post to the group. I am starting out on ASP. I have done a simple registration form, things are going on well here, now i am creating a search display that takes in a value from the search field on the HTML form and queries that on the access database and populate the remaning fields on the form. I have an field ID on the database to auto-number and track each record.
How do you go about doing this ?, how to have an if else condition to know when to stop searching and return control ?
Can i have something like this ?
strSQL="Select * from userinfo WHERE Request.Form("uname")=rs("user_fname")"
I am stuck because there's no control statement to generate the next set of code to display and populate the fields. I also need to know how to extract all information of a record based on. I have just started to learn...
Thanks!

Im new to asp and this is my second project on ASP. So Its dificult for me to do this..
Im using Access and classic asp..
How to write the query for search and How to do this? Any idea,, Pls help me..
Hi,
First post here, and first up I will admit to being very much a first time user, although with *some* experience of access and VB coding in Excel (from back at school!!!) and a fairly technical mind.
I am a jazz musician, and have tried to create a database of all the CDs / records that I own so that i can search for either a player or a song title and can see details of all albums that feature my search criteria. I thought this would be fairly easy, and although I have been able to create a query (and then a report to show this clearly) when searching for a player (i.e. search for "Bill Evans" under the field "Piano", the same can not be easily done for my song search, where I have a different field for each song (with a max of 21 fields available!). This would require me making a query for a song 21 times, with each query searching under a different of the 21 'song' fields.
There must be a way of doing this much more efficiently...I am envisaging having a search box coming up which would search all records for the criteria entered and then create a report showing all records containing matches.
Is this possible? I am fast discovering that there is MUCH more to Access than initially meets the eye, and if the answer would be too long to give then some guidance in the right direction would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Steve
** EDIT ** I tried to upload my project but sadly it was too large. I will try and reduce its size and re-attempt or will upload it to some webspace.
Hi, I have been trying to make a datbase so I can input the serial number of an electronic device (cell phone boards) , and also would like to be able to add additional info about the device. Most importantly I have to be able to "search" for the device by typing the serial number in a search box.
So lets say I have serial number 11111, 11112, 11113, 11114 listed in the database as "intermittent power failures", before I use the device I can type the serial number in the database and be able to recall the details. So if I type in 11119 and no hits come back, I know that one is not in the system yet; meaning it ethere does not have a problem, or the problem has not been discovered yet. If I type in 111111 for example, it would come back as a hit, saying it has an "intermittent power failure" problem. I have spent about 4 hours messing with access, I used it a while back in office 03, however I have never did anything like that, and to make things further complicated we now only have office 07. Does anyone have a template which is similar (I can modify the values) or know how to assist me to be able to create a database like this?
Do i have to list them manually eg "SELECT * FROM 1, 2, 3, 4" or is there another way to search them all.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi;
i designed a database
it is controlling the stock and the test results

because i entered the table data like
"1111 Microsoft Access"
"2222 Microsoft Excel"
when i executed the query i must enter the exact data like "1111 Microsoft Access" but i wanna only use "1111" for executing the query.
Please help me how can i do that?
Thanks for your Help.
im trying to get a site working
www.peck-ed.com/search.asp
but im having some problems with the search on asp. the problem as u can see is the fact it has to be the exact item for the search to work, atm the query is
Select * From PLIST Where PLIST.DESC Like "::ID::"
but i need it to work on single words from teh database rather then the whole thing, anyone got any ideas if i can change that so it will pick up on words rather then the whole item?
Amiga'Ferrari Formula One'
use that if you need to find an example of data, its got all the stock records of the shop dating back for years :P
I need to make a search form where i can search from the database access and generate the report in Excel.for example in a form there are 4 fields, I can search by field by field and press submit button then if there is no record it will pop up that no record found if there is a record so it will generate an excel sheet with formatting.

I have a database which I have replicated and I am trying to synchronise the replicated copy with the design master - both at the moment are stored on the same network share.
Whenever I try to sync from the replicated copy I get an error message saying the "search key was not found" and the database won't sync.
What should I be looking for to correct this?
