I'm trying to create a list box as you can see in the list box section
is conected to the patients query
What i'm trying to do is is link the text box to the list box but dont know how to do it.
Also user can search by Account#,Last Name, First Name and Social security # all in one field any ideas.
Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items

Hello,
I have been trying to produce a front end for a multi criteria search. I have used one of the sample databases from the site and amended the code as necessary, but obviously not correctly. I can't get it to show me the records based on my search criteria.
I would be grateful if somebody could have a look and let me know what I've done wrong (cut down DB attached). If I can crack this I want to do another multicriteria search for other parameters.
One other question - is it possible to take those filtered records and dump them into a report? For example, say I select one parameter and want tpo print all records associated with that parameter?
Thanks
Hey all, new here, question for everyone. I have a fairly large database, I need to make a form that has 3 drop down boxes on it, one will be corresponding to a field in my table called Race, another with Affiliation and the last one with Gender, race will have 7 options, affiliation 20 options and gender 2 options. I need to be able to have a search/query setup so that a user chooses one option from each drop down and have it do a search in my table corresponding to what they choose. I really have no idea howto do this and hoping someone here could help. thanks

Has anyone ever come across an example of a form where you can carry out a multi criteria search which not only displays the results on a subform but when you select an item from that subform the details can be displayed in text boxes etc on the main form.
I have tediously searched this forum and the web but all search examples only display on a subform only, is it even possible if so has anyone found any examples or how would I go about achieving this
Thanks Jackie
I have one main table. There are about 5 main fields that my users seach often. Usually they just open the table and filter. I do not like that.
I want to build a form that has the 5 main fields available as search fields.
Name
SS
Company
Date
COC
are the fields most often searched for. Can I make a form that will open with a blank subform on the bottom and these 5 fields empty across the top. Once a user enters into one of the fields and hits enter it will bring up the those records?
Thanks.
I have an events database with a description field which I would like to be able to search for multi criteria which would be determined by the user. For example, the user might want to search for all events which are Merchant Navy, Dieppe and Vimy related or they may want to search for only Veterans Week related events.
I've tried creating a form with text boxes that the user would put the criteria in and then basing the query on those text boxes using a like statement.My problem is that I don't know how many criteria the user will be using so I can have too many or too few text boxes. If too few, the user is not getting all of the records that they are looking for. If too many, the user ends up getting all the records in the database as the system uses the bank boxes to bring back all values, so basically all records.
is there anyway that I can have only one text box where users would enter in as many or as few crietia words seperated either by a , ; space etc., and the system would return all records which contain any of those words.
I'm using this search form.I have never had issues with it until today. When I type the letter "i" as the first letter in the 'Search For' box, I get the following error:"Microsoft Office Access can't move the focus to the control SearchResults"..Also, when I type "i", it shows up in the box as "I" and is the only letter that does this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I'm sure I'm not being dim, but I really can't figure how to do this.
I have a list box with two columns. One column (bound) is a name, the other is a unique ID. I need to transfer both the Name and the ID to a second list box (again, two columns).
I can get it to do this with single selections, but not multiple ones, and this is what I need.
Any ideas?
Cheers
I appreciate your help in advance. I am new to most of this and I need a little assistance. I have searched the web and found some articles etc... I am just not sure how to apply it to mine because I am unfamiliar with some of the wording etc.. I understand a very little of what people are saying but I can't quite put it all together.
I have a form called "reportfilterfrm" in this form I have 3 list box's. On 2 of the list box's multi select is selected to "None" and I have them bound to the criteria field in my query and that works perfect. The 3rd list box multi select is set to "Simple" and I am not sure how to get the query to refrence this.
The query is called "reportfilterqry"
listbox #3 is called [opponent] I would like it to be the criteria for [opponent] in the "reportfilterqry" It is a text field.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it!
Hi,
This is my first posting on this forum, and I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue...
I have a form that is used for entering information into tables. I would like to be able to select multiple options from a list on a form and have it saved into a table. Any ideas? Is this even possible :confused:
Here are some paths I followed:
The table has a List Box field, type Text, that gets values for the list items from another table. On the form, I have changed the Multi-Select property of the List Box to "Extended" so that the user can select multiple items from the list. But when I select items from the List Box, the table is not getting updated with the selected items.
Another way I tried doing this: The table has a List Box field that has no values (I'm not looking up values from another table). On the form, I set the Row Source of the List Box equal to the query that gets the list values from a table. I then set the Multi-Select property to "Extended". When I select multiple items from the List Box, the table doesn't get updated.
FYI: The control source for the list box on the form is pointing to the field in the table.
Thanks,

Good morning all...
I have two questions regarding a multi-select list box.
First, is there any way to have the list box include multi-line items...or which will scroll beyond the right border of the box?
Second, I have a multi-select list box which is populated with an ID # column and a Description column. The user can select as many items from the list box as needed and, as the list box item is clicked, the ID # is added to a memo field on the form, with each ID # delineated with a coma. Is it possible to separate the memo field back out so that each item is identified individually (for report purposes)?
Thanx so much for your help with this...you guys/gals are simply the best!

I have a list box derived from a two column SQL select. When I try to use the user selected element I only get the first column data value.
In debugging I have tried ...
Ret = MsgBox(Me.List6.Value, vbOKCancel)
and...
Ret = MsgBox([Forms]![MeetingStatus]![List6], vbOKCancel)
Both of which return the selected row, first column value only.
I can find no help on how to return the content of the second column or the selection as a whole.
You guys are awsome!
Is there anyway to use Like in queries where the user could type in more than one word?
I have a text box (search title), on a form (Search).
On after update the text box, opens a query.
The criteria in the query for the Title field is:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![search title] & "*"
this works great for one word or phrase.
I would like the user to be able to type in 2 words, and have the query find all the records where the first word is in the Title, and where the second word is in the Title. And so on with 3 words or more.
I used the Contacts demo on Access 2010, made all the elements Client from web based and then exported to a new database. It worked for the most part but now I am trying to put in a 4 box search and am getting stuck on which form to link it to and also where to put these boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build a Multi Search Screen and just do not know how to achieve this. what I want the application to do is:
1) I Created a main form for data entry called 'Orderfrm'
2) The Orderfrm Field EmpNo - I created a Search Button.
3) Users to enter the Employee No or Surname or FirstName (multisearch) and hit the search button to search for the relevant employee.
4) I would like then to open a 'SearchFrm' with the details of the employee.
5) If it is more than one employee - the system to list them all
6) users will select the correct employee details and finally the system to autofill the details in 'OrderFrm'

I have a dialog box where the users can filter a report by various combo boxes that works well. I'm trying to add a multiselect lis box option for one of the combo boxes and have added code which I've also used before. Together the code is looping through and opening the report without a problem, except it's not filtering by the options selected in the list box. Here's what I've got:
If Left(Me![cboSupplier].Column(0), 1) = "*" Or Right(Me![cboSupplier].Column(0), 1) = "*" Then
where = where & " AND [qssupp] Like " + Me![QSSupp].Column(0)
Else
where = where & " AND [qssupp]=" + Me![cboSupplier].Column(0)
End If
If Left(Me![cboPartNo].Column(0), 1) = "*" Or Right(Me![cboPartNo].Column(0), 1) = "*" Then
where = where & " AND [partID] Like " + Me![PartID].Column(0)
Else
where = where & " AND [PartID]=" + Me![cboPartNo].Column(0)
End If
For Each varItem In cboStatus.ItemsSelected
If strCondition = "" Then
strCondition = "[odstatusid] = " & cboStatus.Column(0, varItem)
Else
strCondition = strCondition & " OR [odstatusid] = " & cboStatus.Column(0, varItem)
End If
Next varItem
Set QD = db.CreateQueryDef("Dynamic_Query", _
"Select * from qryWeeklyOrderStatusRpt " & (" where " + Mid(where, 6) & ";"))
If (DCount("*", "Dynamic_Query") = 0) Then
MsgBox "There are no records to print"
Exit Sub
End If
Can anybody see where I'm going wrong?
I have a master table with several pick list columns. One field in particuliar has 3 options(fed from a separate table):
a
b
c
But, the user will have a need to select more than just 'a' for example. they will need to select 'a' and 'b', or 'b' and 'c'....etc
Can this be done in a table within Access?
Thank You,

I am using a Multi Select List Box to display a list of names from a table, in order to select e-mail recipients. The names are in two fields: [Main]![First Name] and [Main]![Surname].
I have done this by using the following code for the rowsource:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Main![e-mail], Main![First Name], Main!Surname FROM Main;
This gives a rather undesired effect, in that shorter first names have a large gap before the surname. In addition, there is a dull separating line between the two columns, thus:
Jane | Smith
Bartholomew | Simpson
My questions:
Is it possible to arrange the names so they appear in one column, with a space between them? (i.e. they would appear as written)
If not, can I get rid of the separating line?
Many thanks in advance if you can help!
Hi all.
I have searched everywhere but I cannot find the anwser. I'll try to explane.
I have a table in ma database, to make it easier, let's call it Table1.
Table1:
Id,Name,Category
Now, In my form, I wanna see this table. I did it with a list, and that works perfect. Now, I want the next thing to happen:
If category = 1, then the backcolor of that record should be yellow
If category = 2, then the backcolor of that record should be green.
Now the problem is, how can I get multicoloring in my list? or in a subform?
Thx
i need to know how to get the multi value from list box in my form to be used in a query the list box worked great when it was not multi value
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use access to gather information on testing that is conducted at my company. In the database I designed I set up a multiselect list box for when the people who conducted the test can check off the test equipment that they used. I did this because at anytime any number of different items can be used. Though I don't think we have ever used more then 10 test items. The reason for tracking the items that were used is if they, when out for yearly calibration, come back out of spec we can look at what tests used that equipment. As I further develop my system, I am starting to ask for more information from the requesters. I would like them to be able to check off what individual items are in the item being tested. Creating that list isn't the hard part for me.
My question comes in here. I know that using a multiselect list box is frowned upon as they can be sloppy to deal with when looking to extract data. Being as I am looking to expand my database, I was looking for what to do. I would still like to give the option of a multiselect list box, but should I create more fields and have the items used put into these new fields? Should I do the same for equipment that is used for the testing. If not and the list box is ok, how best to go through all the records to gather what ones used the specified equipment?
I stumbled on to a Dynamic Multi Search form on this site and have been tailoring it to my organization's directory of contacts. Everything was going good until I was asked to include a search by groups to which each individual may belong. The data in the table is contained in Yes/No check boxes for around 30 different groups. I am hoping to add a combo box to the Dynamic Search as a means to pull up individuals in any 1 category. Below are two attempts at what I thought might work, however, neither performs any filtering.
Code:
Private Sub Groupbox_Change()
Dim db As Database
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryGroup")
[code]....
I have a table name ex. equipment and many fields inside ex. date, equipment name (combo box) and others.
I need to make form for all fields and button search once I click on it will open a report depending on a fields i selected.
I think that I have to use VBA
Multi search wont return results: Obviously I have my table and search form. But have hit a problem that is probably simple to overcome, but for the life of me I cant see it.
The small peice of code I have used = forms]![searchF]![name1] I have also tried Like"*" & forms]![searchF]![name1] & "*" still not working. The qurey accompanying form (searchF) works to displaying searchF form unpopulated which I believe is correct. I should at this stage be able to fill out the one table heading (name1) where the query should return a result in the (searchf) form but it does not return.
The tables, forms and quries, have all been saved and closed and re opened many times
The form (searchF) propeties have been checked and double checked. I have even built a test table but the same things happen as my main table.
I have a simple question that I know will have a very complex answer
You have two sets of tables with identical structures. The first set contains data that is a model for the second set. The users run queries that append data to the second set of tables
Here is an example of the structure
TblSourceOne
SourceOneID
SourceOneData
TblSouceTwo
SourceTwoID
SourceOneID
SourceTwoData
TblSouceDetails
SourceDetailsID
SourceTwoID
SourceDetailsData
As you can see TblSourceTwo contains a foreign key from TblSorceOne and TblSorceDetails contains one from TblSourceTwo
The main table for the second set
TblTargetOne
TargetOneID
SourceOneID
TargetOneData
The user adds a record to the main table (TblTargetOne) then uses an append query to add all of the applicable records from TblSourceTwo to TbleTargetTwo
TblTargetTwo
TargetTwoID
TargetOneID
TargetTwoData
So now the user has a data model in TblSourceTwo which has been “copied” to TblTargetTwo
Next for each record in TblSourceTwo that has been copied to TblTargetTwo that has daughter records in TblSourceDetails another query is executed to copy all of the pertinate records to the TblTargetDetails
TblTargetDetails
TargetDetailsID
TargetTwoID
TargetDetailsData
Now the user has completely copied all of the necessary record for both table.
Finely the question
How can I use a multiselect list box to achieve this in one operation? I don’t care if it includes running multiple queries but it needs to appear as one single operation to the user.
