Limit Search
Feb 9, 2007
Hello,
I have a form that I use for searching. It takes all the records in the database and then people can type things they are searching for - numbers, dates, names, descriptions etc. - into a text box, and as they type, the selection window shows fewer and fewer matches.
What I would like to do now is give the user the option to limit where the underlying query searches, but only if he wants to do this.
In other words, I want to be able to search the entire database [default], or only within a certain year, or amongst the products of one manufacturer, or a certain model etc. and I want to be able to combine parameters so that more than one can be applied at the same time.
I have 5 or 6 parameters and I was thinking of using drop-down boxes for the user to select a value for these parameters.
My problem is that when I specify parameters to limit the search, I have to have a value in all of them. What do I need to do to make those optional?
Thank you.

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 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.

Can you use the LIMIT function in access?
It limits the number of records out putted by a query.

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!

Hello All:
We use a custom built Access “97 version” database at work that keeps track of our internal manufacturing processes. The database stores jpg’s and dwg files that use up a lot of precious DB space and if we had it to do over we would use hyperlinks to these files to save space. But this database we built long ago and we have reached the 1 gig limit of Access 97.
1) If we upgrade to a newer version of access will this increase the database limit to 2 gig’s
2) Is this kind of upgrade easy to do or should this be done by a Access professional
Thanks for the help
Alex

Hi,
I am trying to display data from a table. One of the fields is entered via a combo box. When displaying that data on a form I need to be able to allow items not on the list(created by a select query) to be displayed for this field. The data was created some time ago and it seems that records have been deleted in certain places which has resulted in inconsistent data.
I am happy resticting data entry for new records, but need to allow items not on the list to be displayed for historical data. Data entre and displaying of historical data take place on seperate forms so this is no problem.
My problem is that I am only able to disable limit to list if I make the bounded column anything other than 1 and doing this displays the wrong data!
Am I attempting the imposible or if not, can anyone help?

My undertsanding is that text fields are limited to 255 characters. A friend has a databse with some "notes" type fields with data a few sentences long. Is there any way around this limit. If not, what database recommendations can anyone make for someone who needs a questionnaire component in his database?

I have a combo box that worked fine. Now it will not show any records after the 65530th record. I can remove a record and it will show the next one down so it appears to be a setting that controls the nuber of records shown. Any suggestions on how to show all the records would be great.
The program is attached to a SQL table.

I was able to get a response to a question on sorting records which was great. So I've decided to post one that I am concerned about.
Once I have completed my DB, I would like to send this out for review. How do I limit the viewing to a 30-day demo? Once the 30-day period has expired I would like the DB to prompt for a User Name and Registration Code before allowing any further access.
I’ve seen programs that use your system hardware to return a unique ID. Once you have this unique ID the user is required to provide this for a registration code unique to that machine. I just don’t want someone to copy my DB and place it onto other computers without purchasing the license from me. Is this possible without having to purchase these programs? I would also like to understand the process that the DB goes thru to return this information. I think this would help me understand how Access works.
I had thought of purchasing Installer Pro but this only stops the installation process. Once this has been placed on one computer can’t you just copy the DB and place it onto another computer? If I needed to purchase this software I would like to have the program install the unique ID in the registry and have my DB check the registry to confirm that the unique ID is there if not then it would prompt for the User Name and Unique ID and close if it didn’t match. So if someone copied my DB and placed it onto another computer (not using the installer program) then it would not detect the Unique ID in the registry and close.
Sorry I rambled on but I’m not sure if this is how it works or not. I’ve spent a lot of time developing my DB and once I have secured it I would like to keep others (less knowledgeable) from using it.
Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to limit the number of records entered into a database, and return an "error". Not an error exactly but it should pop up and say "the limit of 25 members allowed to sign up for this class has been met". I figured out how to go in access and create a validation rule so that "ID < 26", and it has successfully blocked records #26 and up from being saved, but it shows on the form that it was submitted. How do I get it to "know" when to say "the limit has been met"??
Thanks in advance!!

I've apparently hit the two gig limit in access. The database won't let me compact/repair. it wont let me save changes to tables. I can't open access by itself and repair the external table. I'm sure that the database could be shrunk down if I could get it to do the repair! I get an "Invalid Argument" error on everything I try to do.
Anyone experience this? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
