Keyword Search Query (example Attached)

Mar 18, 2008

Hi All,

As shown in the attached database, I have a multiple criteria query with a front end (see frmIssue). I am trying to add a keyword search on the field 'Issue' by having an unbound textbox in frmIssue and linking it with a 'Issue' field in the query 'MyQuery'.

An example search would be looking for an issue with the keyword 'misfiring' in project 'A'.

However, having tried the Like expression on the field 'Issue' a few times, I'm still having trouble making it work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Stephen

Keyword Search Query

Apr 21, 2006

Hi

I hope someone can help me. I am using Access 2003 to create a database to keep a track of projects in my craft magazines.

I have a table that gives the magazine name, issue no, project name, page no and keywords. When I enter my data I will use various keywords to describe the project. For example, for a football card for a teenage boy I would use keywords such as football, boy and teenager.

What I need to be able to do is have a query based on this table that if I search for "football" it will pull up all records where I have used football as one of the keywords.

In my current query I can do this providing "football" is the only keyword I have used, but if I have used more than 1 keyword in my table then my query will not show any results.

Is there any way I can do this?

Hope you can understand what I am asking, and if someone can help, I would appreciate simple instructions as I am not very experienced with access

Thanks

Kathie

Keyword Search Query

Nov 13, 2007

I would like to have a search box in which someone can type anything and it will search through a few tables to see if this word appears, and then return information from that record so I know who it belongs to. I have a query written that has all of the fields from all of the tables that I want the search to cover, but now I am having trouble connecting a button to the query so that it runs the query and puts the word as the "Like" criteria. I can make the button run the query, but I didn't know if I have to put Like * &[TextBoxName] & * in the criteria of each of the possible fields? I would appreciate your help with this. Thanks:)

Get A Multiple Keyword Search Query Working

Mar 4, 2013

I am trying to get a multiple keyword search query working.... the single search is working however when i use the Multiple Keyword search the data sheet does pop up but no matter what i put in i just get a blank table and under ID it says "NEW"

The Keywords Column has a bunch of keywords separated by commas on each row. Sometimes there will be the same keywords on different rows under the keyword column... and i want it to return any rows that have 1 or more of the keywords in it or if it is null just to return them all....... this is the statement I am trying...

SELECT Sea.ID, Sea.Category, Sea.Title, Sea.Author, Sea.Organisation, Sea.Date, Sea.Keywords, Sea.Reference
FROM Sea
WHERE (((InStr([Keywords separated by commas,Blank=All],[Keywords]))>0 Or (InStr([Keywords separated by commas,Blank=All],[Keywords])) Is Null));

Queries :: Add A Box On Search Forms To Search 3 Cells Of Record For A Keyword

Jun 10, 2013

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.

Need Help Figuring Out This Search Form (example Attached)

Dec 6, 2006

I have found an example of a search form that I really would like to replicate, but I'm have no idea how to implement it into my database. i have attached a stripped version of my database (only consists of a table) and the database with the search form i would like to implement.

Basically, I need my search form be able to sort through a list of consultants so that the user will know whether or not they're in the database already. The fields that I would like displayed are last name, first name, and phone number and social security/fed. tax ID. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Keyword Search

Jul 13, 2005

Hi all.

I want to set up a 'keyword search' facility on my dbase. I would like the user to enter a keyword in a dialog box and for this to then open my main FRMContractInfo form with a recordset that shows all the records where this word appears in any or each of four fields (Summary, Methodology, Lessons, Successes). I am a bit confused about how I should approach this, can someone offer me some advice?

Do I:

a) set up a Query that references the text box on the dialog box and code it as the open form's recordset
b) write the SQL for the form in the code?

Or are neither of these approaches correct? I've tried both and neither seem to work - but I think I've got my syntax all wrong because of trying to use Like and the wildcard (*) character...

Keyword Search!

Oct 17, 2005

Im trying to add a keyword search to my page - I've added a button and it works fine in bringing up the "find" dialogue box.

However this defaults always to the "whole field" option, whereas what I want is it to default to "any part of field".

Can this be achieved, if not, is there another way of doing this?

Thanks

Multifield Keyword Search

Jul 7, 2006

HI, Im trying to create a keyword search based on the data in several fields. The below command works well for searching one field, but I want to search several at once. Any help would be great. Thanks!

What you need is a parameter query. In the criteria space in the desired field in your query, put the following: Like "*" & [Search by word:] & "*"

When you run the query, a message box will pop up that says "Search by word:", and then you could type in "mountain" or "goat" or even just type in one or two letters. To make it more/less specific, play around with those wildcards.

How Do I Search On A Keyword Within My Table??

Dec 22, 2007

Hello all, once again I would very much appreciate anyones help on what may be quite a simple issue,, my problem (or one of!!) is as follows:
I have a table that contains approx 3k records I wan to run a query that allows me to select a certain number of fields with a group. From this I mean, I have all records grouped by discipline, firstly its easy for me to determine the discipline I require (I do this in the design view by adding the discipline number in the criteria row.) next I want to find a certain number of the records that are within my chosen discipline,, the records I wan to see all contain the word ‘alignment’. I tried entering ‘alignment’ on the criteria row but that didn’t get me anything,, the field that contains the word alignment also has many other words listed…
Please help
Many thanks

Forms :: Checkbox / List Box And Unbound Keyword Search

Aug 7, 2013

I'm relatively new to Access 2010. I have an excel spreadsheet that I've converted into an access table for the purposes of creating a user friendly form for the end user to search for relevant criteria to retrieve a list of records that fit the requests. There are two main search functions: unbound keyword search (90+ keywords), and either a series of checkboxes or one list box that lists specific countries/regions matched in a column (columns, as I will get to shortly). The region selection is bound by a selection of 15 countries.

The key is each record can correspond to more than one country. This, one record can have "Belgium, Germany, brazil" and the next record can just have "brazil". Thus if someone selects brazil, the query must retrieve the Belgium Germany brazil record in addition to the record that covers just brazil. I've tried to do this with a concatenated column that list all countries and a text box search, I've tried to do this with individual checkbox columns for each country with checkboxes in the search form...and I can't get it to work. I don't fully understand the criteria to set for checkboxes or list boxes. What would be the best way to build this form, an how?

Queries :: Keyword Search - Find Field Names Of True Checkboxes

Jul 10, 2013

I've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.

Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.

Modules & VBA :: Enter A Keyword Or Phrase And Search 3 Memo Fields And Filter Records Found

Nov 7, 2013

I am trying to provide the user a custom search feature. They want to enter a keyword or phrase and search 3 memo fields and filter the form base on the records found. they also want to be able to search the whole phrase or any part of the phrase.

I have a like expression for any part of the phrase but I when I set it up for whole phrase it doesn't work. Even if I run a simple query and use

For example: There's an acronym the user is looking for : ACA

If I set my query up like this: [field1] like "*ACA*" or [field2] like "*ACA*" or [field3] like "*ACA*"

it not only finds records with that acronym but it also finds records where that combination is found in a word, for instance vacate.

How can I set up my query to find the whole word?

Query 1:n Problem With Access And Attached Field

Apr 5, 2008

Hello folks,

I do have the following problem, and - please do tell me- if I don't see the obvious.

I changed to Office 2007 and am busy changing an Access Application. In the course of that, I included some .gif files in an attachment field, which were hitherto stored in external files and loaded when required for display.

Say we have a company table (OPR_Operator) and a country table (GEO_Country). The country table has a country flag (Field GEO_Country.Flat) as attachment file.

If I create the following query:

SELECT OPR_Operator.OPID, OPR_Operator.Operator, OPR_Operator.Country, GEO_Country.CountryName, GEO_Country.Flag
FROM OPR_Operator INNER JOIN GEO_Country ON OPR_Operator.Country = GEO_Country.CountryCode;

I can edit existing records in a form without any problem. If I change e.g. the Country field in OPR_Operator, the new flag is displayed.

The problem occurs, when I want to add a new record. No way to do that. As soon as I enter the Country, I get the following error message:

The current field must match the join key '?' that serves as the one side of one-to-many relationship. Enter a record in the "one" side table with the desired key value, and then make the entry with the desired join field in the "many-only" table.


I appreciate that this reads like a beginner's error. The funny thing, though is, that I entered a country code, which DOES exist in the GEO_Country table.

Any help?

Very much appreciated.

Best,

Jan

Query Graph Two Count Value Comparison By Date...Attached Screencaps

Jul 24, 2005

:eek: I have tried almost everything and I still can get this to work. I thought I had it with this attempt until I inputted October data and found that Access was sorting it by Number vs. Date.

I am simply trying to compare the number of tickets opened each month to the number of tickets closed each month. I also need to address how a report will appear if no tickets were opened or if no tickets was not closed in a month.

Incase the SQL in screencap is too difficult to read:

Query: qryTotals_Assigned_And_Completed - This calls the following two queries.
#############################################
SELECT qry_AssignedByMonth.MyAssigned, qry_AssignedByMonth.Count, qry_ClosedByMonth.MyClosed, qry_ClosedByMonth.Count, qry_AssignedByMonth.Month, qry_AssignedByMonth.Year, qry_ClosedByMonth.Month, qry_ClosedByMonth.Year
FROM qry_AssignedByMonth INNER JOIN qry_ClosedByMonth ON qry_AssignedByMonth.Month = qry_ClosedByMonth.Month
ORDER BY qry_AssignedByMonth.Month, qry_AssignedByMonth.Year, qry_ClosedByMonth.Month, qry_ClosedByMonth.Year;
#############################################
qry_AssignedByMonth
#############################################
SELECT (Format([DateAssigned],"mmm"" '""yy")) AS MyAssigned, Str(Month([DateAssigned])) AS [Month], Str(Year([DateAssigned])) AS [Year], Count(*) AS [Count]
FROM tblRequests
GROUP BY (Format([DateAssigned],"mmm"" '""yy")), Str(Month([DateAssigned])), Str(Year([DateAssigned]))
ORDER BY Str(Month([DateAssigned])), Str(Year([DateAssigned]));
#############################################
qry_ClosedByMonth
#############################################
SELECT (Format([DateClosed],"mmm"" '""yy")) AS MyClosed, Str(Month([DateClosed])) AS [Month], Str(Year([DateClosed])) AS [Year], Count(*) AS [Count]
FROM tblRequests
GROUP BY (Format([DateClosed],"mmm"" '""yy")), Str(Month([DateClosed])), Str(Year([DateClosed]))
ORDER BY Str(Month([DateClosed]));

Keyword Seach In A Parameter Query

Jun 22, 2006

I am a relatively novice access user with a question about a query I have built. The query is a parameter query that takes its query values from a form.

I have the query constructed at the moment so the user can search and any combination of fields using a date range, and three drop downs.

One of the fields in the table that I am querying is a text "Subject" field. I would like to add a keyword search upon this field into my existing query, as such I added a text box into my form, in which the user can type a keyword to search upon.

However, when I added the following criteria to the field in my query:
Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_find_log_entry]![Subject] & "*"
And then tried typing anything into my keyword search box on my form and run my query, I am returned with all results, rather than just results with the search words.

I have read a few strings on this subject. One from 2002 seemed to be on the right track but I was unable to understand it well enough to implement the suggested solution.

Any insight that could be provided on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Benjamin

Checking For Attached File

Jan 25, 2005

I would have thought this was easy, but I keep getting an error.
I have a form with a save button. When the save button is clicked, I want it to check if user has attached an OLE object to a bound object frame. If they have, I'd like a checkbox to be true.
Here's the code I tried:
If Attachment.LpOleObject = 0 Then
Attach.Value = False
Else
Attach.Value = True
End If
This seems so incredibly straight forward and it does work if there is an attachment. If there isn't I get the message that my database can't retrieve the value of this property.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, my boss gave me this killer project and I just have a brief question to see if anyone thinks I can do this.

Right now, I have a database for business card management.

I have 2 tables

1)Contact Info - Has various contact info fields
2)Business Card Table - Have 2 fields, CardID and Card (field is OLE object to attach business card to the database.

I have the CardID field in a relationship with the same field in Contact Info.

I have 2 questions:

1) I am using Access 2000, and would like to know if there is a way to allow the OLE field to be a jpg attachable field. I did not see it as an option, only .bmp Cry

2) Is there a way, that when I pull the information up in a form, it can display the attached business card that is attached to the database?

What can I do?

Thanks for any help in advance.
