Im just starting to program in Access.. can somebody please help me with my problem?
Im trying to figure out how to search the table with the content of my textbox. (Ex. i input "A" in my textbox, it should display all the records of "A" like it's AGE, STATUS, etc.) it doesn't have to be case sensitive or exact because i have a primary key that doesn't accept duplicate.
Thanks to anyone who'll help
I've got a form called "Main Menu" and i'm in the process of implementing a search form into it. So far I have three textboxes called TBFirstName, TBSurname and TBCentre these are unbound. I also have a search button.
This button runs the query which runs the search, the sql for this query is below.
Code:
SELECT Staff.[Employee ID] AS [Staff_Employee ID], Staff.Forename,
Staff.Surname, Staff.Sex, Staff.[Job Role], Staff.[Start Date], Staff.[Leave Date], Staff.Centre,
Staff.Hours, Qualifications.[Employee ID] AS [Qualifications_Employee ID],
Qualifications.[Level 2 Maths], Qualifications.[Level 2 English], Qualifications.[Level 3 Support Maths],
[Code] ....
Whenever I run this query it just returns all the records instead of the search criteria. Where am I going wrong?
I'm relatively new to MS Access (using MS Access 2013 but the db should work on 2010, too) and try to develop a database for an NGO I'm working in. I created almost all the tables (all that I need for now) and made the relationships.
However now I start to create forms and later reports for the actual user. The database will store information about clients and track consultations and assistance the NGO gives to them. There will be around 50.000 to 70.000 clients in the main table. Every client has a specific Individual ID and is member of a family which itself has another specific Group ID.
Now here is my problem: The User usually searches for the respective family by the Group ID. I implemented this with a search query using the ID number of a search text box. All done and no big problem.
But sometimes the ID number is not known so the user needs to search by name (First and Last Name). I use to different textboxes for this and it works in a similar way like the number search by query (Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_SearchIC]![txt_LName] & "*"). All still good However since most of the clients are actually from arabic speaking countries, converting the names into the Latin alphabet is bound to fail and produce a lot of misspellings. Therefore I added 2 more textboxes and 3 comboboxes for the user to give more information about the client and therefore make it easier to search for the person. I was able to produce a query which gives you the right result if you have ALL information at hand. However, this is not always the case.
1) But I cannot find a way to tell the query that if the a certain textbox or combobox is empty, it shall just "ignore" it and use the information at hand. I tried this in the query by adding in the criteria OR .... Is Null. This is alright for one or two textboxes but for the many I have, it seems to be too many different combinations for the criteria. It just worked with some fields but others always had to be filled in...
2) If no information is given at all, the database should inform the user that he needs to enter at least on field. If nothing is found the user should get a msgBox saying "No IC matches your criteria".
3) The results of the searches should be given out in another form where the user can pick the person from 1-to-many results.
I attached a sample database with sample data and reduced tables, fields, and entries ...
I have a form with two textboxes called: txtAptDep, txtAptArr.
On their right side there are two buttons (btn1, btn2) to open a form called frmAirportSearch. It allows to choose (from a listbox) the airport to be filled in those two textboxes.
Now, if I search for an airport pressing btn1, I want the airport to be returned into txtAptDep, while if I open the form by btn2, the airport choosen must be returned in the second textbox.
When a user selects a name from a combo box then 11 textboxes are populated with personal information.
What I am looking for is when the user edits the persons information (i.e. changes the persons phone number to a different number), how do I update the table with this information?
Is there a way to only update fields that have changed? or do I have to save all textboxes?
I have read about an "Update Query" and a SQL Update, but I did not think the two applied. I am sure that I am wrong, lol.
I tried the "Docmd.Runcommand acCmdSave (in the OnClick event cmd button) but it did not make any changes to the table.
This is what I put in the OnClick event:
Code:
Private Sub cmdSaveEdit_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave
TextBoxLockDown
Me.Requery
End Sub

I have a form on a club database, and one of the textboxes has the details of their photographic experience. I have one person who is a very experienced worker and I need to add more details in the textbox. Currently there are 29 characters, including spaces in the box, but it won't allow me to add any more. I have set the width of the box on the form to a wider setting, but this makes no difference. What can I do?
I have three textboxes , textbox 1,textbox 2, and textbox 3, I can change the value of textbox 3 based on the date of textbox 2 by using
if me. textbox2 < date then
me. textbox 3 ="expired"
end if
but I need it to look at textbox 1 as well and only change textbox 3 to "expired" if both conditions are true. example
if textbox 1 = "abs" and
textbox 2 < date
then textbox 3 = "expired".
end if
I have a form with checkboxes, indicating fields which can be selected for a query. The strSQL variable works fine, and I can use QUERYDEF to create a query from the variable.
I wonder if it is possible to generate a form to display only the fields chosen - i.e. I don't want a general form with all fields, with only the chosen ones displaying data. Instead, if I select only 5 of the 10 fields, I want the form only to show those 5 fields.
Creating textboxes for each field, and using the .visible property, but then I would have lots of gaps on the form.
I hoped it might be possible to use a loop with a value set something like
For i = 1 to fieldcount
textbox(i).recordsource = selectedfld(i)
'somehow know where to place the textbox!?!!

I have a form and I am not sure of the best way to populate the multiple fields on it.
The form consists of a textbox to select a date (txtDate) and then once this date is selected I want the multiple textboxes on the form to be populated from data I have in a table.
The name of each textbox is a concatenation of "txt" the number of the person which is a number from 1 to 4 and then a time eg for 12 Noon it would be 1200 so the textboxes are from txt10800 to txt42000 i.e. each person has textboxes from 8.00am to 8.00pm in half hour intervals.
I need to use two tables to populate these textboxes as in the main table there are codes that have a relationship to fields within another table that holds attributes for that code. (eg code 123 could equal Service A in the second Table but 123 is what is held on the main table) Also in the main table I have a calculated field that creates the name of the relevant textboxes on the form.
If there is a textbox that will not be populated as there is nothing in that time period then I would like this to be left blank or Null.
Am I best creating a query and binding the form to this query or to leave it unbounded and use a recordset within VBA
Also what is the best way of using either
I am using Access 2013...
Retrieval of data from a query and putting it into a textbox on a form. I currently have a form where I would like to put in a Job Number, and then hit an "Update" button and it will show some of the data fields associated with that Job Number. I have a table called "All Jobs" and each Job Number is unique. Where I'm really having issues with is in regards to Dates and Boolean fields.
In one form, I put in a job number and it will bring up the Company, Motor type, Received Date, and Quote. I have been able to retrieve the Company, Motor, and Quote with a DLookUp expression using a query. The expression looks like:
CompanyName.Value = DLookUp("Company","Approved Job Form - Find Job Info").
CompanyName would be the name of the textbox on the form, with "Company" the field within the "Approved Job Form - Find Job Info" query. The query itself uses the job number entered onto the form and returns the other data fields associated with that job number. Running the query by itself returns the correct information. My issue comes with using the Date Received field. It seems that because that field type is a Short Date, my DLookUp expression keeps prompting the debugger in the code. Currently I have:
RcvDate.Value = DLookUp("Receive Date","Approved Job Form - Find Job Info")
This will not bring the date from the query into my text box like the others.
In another form, I'm also having issues with a Boolean data field. I would like to have a query that looks up a job number, and if my data field (Job On Hold) is checked (True), I would like it to return a value of "Job On Hold / In Progress" into a text box. If it is unchecked (False), I would like it to return "Job Approved". I've tried a bunch of different ways to make it work, but I'm really stumped. The makeshift code I last tried (I've tried this numerous ways, so I'm not sure if I was closer before) is:
Dim jobstatus As Boolean
jobstatus = DLookup("Job on Hold", "Job Status Form - Search Status")
If jobstatus = False Then
Status.Value = "Job Approved"
Else
Status.Value = "Job On Hold / In Progress"
End If
I am creating an Access program for logging in Parcels that are delivered and I am having some problems.
I have a Table called 'Contacts' and within this there are 4 Columns: 'Names', 'Departments', 'Extensions' and 'Emails'.
I also have a Form and there is 1 Combobox and 3 Textboxes relating to this Table: 'Addressed To', 'Department', 'Ext Number' & 'Email'. (see http://c0ld.homeip.net/parcel_log.jpg for details).
What I would like to do is select the Name from the Combobox (Addressed To) and the have the other Textboxes (Department, Ext Number & Email) get auto-filled with the corresponding data that’s within the Table for that Name.
If anyone would like the .mdb for this, please PM me.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I want to know a way of populating unbound textboxes with data from a table without using the easy assigning data in the property of the box. I want it to be all done with code, which to me isnt a huge deal but I've yet to find answers on the web pertaining to this issue.
for example:
Say i was searching a primary key in one box and based on what ever is typed in i'd like it to populate the rest of the textboxes.
How can I search through a table and if the record on a main form has certain words it will save a note in a record on another table.

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 am attempting to create a search form where a user can search by either employee name or company name. I have 5 tables to use. Is there a simple way of creating a search method for this? I would like to be able to have the user type in a name and click a button that says search with any records matching the search come up. However, I could definitely use a method where they type it in a box and it finds it as the person types.
