Hi
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
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'm having Table with some universities name and i want web link address for all universities. Take university from table1 in column1 and search on google page and return first link of the search page and save into column2...
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.
i need to create a system that can search data using keyword.so i want to create search button that i will create it at form. currently i have 1 table and in that table i have 10 fields which are project_name, doc_ref_no, doc_title, volume, book_no, author, doc_status, box_barcode, filling_location, doc_availability.
i have create 2 forms, one form for user to add new record and another one is to search record. the user can search by enter project name, doc title, volume and box barcode. for project name and volume, i use combo box and for doc title and box barcode i'm using text box.
i want to create search function that can detect from user keyword and even user did not fill in all the form, the system still can search the record.
I am creating a a text box where the user enters a text then clicks an option from the option that is used as the criteria for the search e.g. Last Name, Phone , address then a command button wil run a query.
I have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.
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.
So 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!
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?
I have a main form with a search command button in the header. This search facility looks for information in a subform. At the moment I can't seem to get it to work.
Main form called Building Subform called LineTypeSub Field its trying to search is called Line
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.
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
I know this will be very basic but i need help. I have a table of customers. I have set up auto form with the table. I would like to have a form that allows me to search for a customer. example:
I have adapted the attached searchDB for what i need - it is very good, thanks to whoever created it.
But....
What i want to do is have 2 search boxes at the top, 1 that filters down JUST the surname field and a 2nd box that searches other fields to filter.
Reason being, i have a applied it to a quotes database, we do a lot of quotes for 2 or 3 customers and i want to be able to filter them before doing a more detailed filter.
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
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?
Can i create a query where each time i use the query i am asked to enter a number to search for.
e.g. i have a pc data table with pc number as the primary key can i create a query where it will ask me to enter the pc number and then find the pc i am looking for in the table.
ive just created a search page in a form, which searches by creating querys. I want it to work so that the user only has to type part of the record in order for the results to be displayed. This does work but you have to write your search from the beginning letters of the record, rather than anywhere.
Here is what I put as a criteria in the query
Like [Forms]![searchallform].[ftapeno1] & "*"
What do I need to change in order for it to do what I want it to do?
