I have been searching the forum for this scenario but could not find similar case, which is as follows:
I have a Search Form with many Text and Combo boxes, linked to search criteria in a query. There is also a sub-form showing the search results.
I am trying to replace one of the combo boxes on the form, with a List Box, so I can make multiple selections. For example instead of showing only "buy" transactions via the combo, I want to see both "buy" and "sell" transactions, which I believe could be done via a List Box.
For the combo box I have the following:
In the Field section I have:
[TransactionType]=[Forms]![frmSearchTransHist]![cboTransType] Or [Forms]![frmSearchTransHist]![cboTransType] Is Null
For Criteria I have - "True"
So, my question is what should I put on the query in order to make it work with a list box.
I also want to give credit here to Jon K who has an example of database with combos and texts - very helpful example!

Can we have two tables linked to one search query? I've some data that is confidential and woul like to have them in two different table. When I search for it using query form, only the relevant table results will be shown?
I have a query linked to some combo/txt boxes on a form so the user defines which categories he/she is looking for then presses button and query comes up with relevant results. This works fine if the user inputs information that is actually there, but if they leave it blank it goes all wrong.
The statements I have in the query are as follows:
[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![comboSupplier] [Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtPurchaseOrder] etc.
I thought the solution may be along the lines of this but it does not work: =if([Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtDate]=Null,[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtDate],"*")
basically i want to make it so the user does not have to enter criteria into evey box, thus if every search box is left blank it would show all records "*"
Right what im after sounds complicated but its quite simple.
I have a client database, in this database each client has 3 skill fields, i also have a form with a listbox and an unbound textboxes that are linked to the query so when the textbox is typed in the listbox updates.
Now ive sorted out the problem of not all fields showing it some of them are blank now the problem is.
When input text into one of the boxes the listupdates, now if theres text in two boxes. and theres data in one of each that matches it will show neither, because the query is looking for data that matches in both fields, now i need partial matches so it will give results of data in both fields.
not understanding fully what i mean?
i have zipped my db, if you open the db then open the form 'MainListRecTrades2nd' and fill in data in both primary and secondary trades that matches from the list you will see.

The solution i was thinking of would to have 1 textbox that searches all the fields and displays data from any of the fields in the list
I have a property database linked to ArcView 3.1. It has a field that links to the ArcView Database called ID which is unique and set to a data type of double.
I have a further form that can go straight to a record if you know it's ID. This form works fine so long as the ID field is no more than 5 digits. I have a series of polygons that have six figure ID's - the link to arcview works fine using these six fig ID fields however the form that looks for that particular ID can't cope with the six figure numbers...
My problem is although I could change all the ID's of the records in the Database so that the search on ID worked (ie five figure id) they then wouldn't match with the overlay in ArcView and I would not be able to link through using code without first changing and matching all the codes associated with the polygons (time consuming)
I did try changing the datatype of the ID field to long integer but still have the same problem. Strange that the search works for five figure IDs and not six.
Does anyone know whether this is a data type error or is it some simple oversight.? I can probably work out some way of changing all the ID fields to five figures but would prefer to keep the six figures as they are used in some pre-printed material as refs
Hi, I am trying to make a list box that shows the first name of different people in the same family in a subform. I have the first names in different fields linked to the same ID, and the list box I keep making that sort of works will show the whole row of names (but also everyone else's first names down the list), and it will only keep the first name in that row when I select it. I would like to know how to make a list box that just shows the 2 or 3 first names linked to the last name or ID that is currently on the main form I am looking at.
I am trying to build a build calender to display customer orders on given days. I have the calender in place with intentions of having a list box on each day to display the orders.We have a daily report that is an excel file that lists these orders. I have linked this file to an access table in my db.
I am able to use this linked table to run a query and generate a report without any problems.When I try to use the information in this table to populate a list or combo box the only fields that will display are all numbers. If I use a field like "Customer Name" I get no information displayed. The data in excel and access are both set as text.
I have a number of drop down menus to select Building Name, Building Number and then Equipment Name and Equipment Number. I want the list to be linked so that when you select the building name the building number is picked up. Also I want the Equipment List's with to change so that once the building has been selected only the equipment available in that building is available to be selected. Is there a way I can do this?
I have a table which lists all documents that refer to a certain entity. the table contains the file names and paths. I would like the user to be able to search for text inside these documents.Can I use Windows Search for that by using code? Is there any other way?
I have three linked tables [Regulator], [RuleBook] and [Rules] (each has a corresponding form for data entry).
In the "Rules" form, when you select name of the regulator, the rule books dropdown down is filtered to show only the rulebooks for that regulator. the code I use is:
Private Sub Regulator_Change() Me.[Rule Book].RowSource = "SELECT [ID],[Rule Book],[Short Code],[Regulator],[RegName],[Short Form],[Active] FROM" & _ " [RuleBook] WHERE Regulator = " & _ Me.Regulator Me.[ShortReg] = Me.Regulator.Column(3) End Sub
Basically, if I select the FSA as the regulator, The Rule Books drop down is filtered to only show the FSA Rule Books. If I pick OFT, I get the OFT list etc. This all works fine.
In the [RuleBook] table, each entry has a yes/no tick box called "Active".
The reason for this being that the regulators change their rule books quite regularly, but from an audit perspective, I can't delete or overwrite the old ones once they are no longer valid.
What I want to do, is further filter the rule book list to those where Active=True so that when I select FSA, I can only choose from their current rule books and not the ones that are no longer relevant.
I have a table called Bear Sighting, A form called Search by observer.. A list box, containing all the observer names. I would like to be able to search through the database table 'bear sightings' and display only the sightings by the observer that I have clicked on... I would like to display them 2 different way at the same time... once in a list box and then again see them at the bottom of my form, displayed as records that you would see in the design view of my table... any can help, that would be great... I am not too familiar with the program so I will need specific details if you could thanks...
I created a list box from the patient info with the following
Last Name First Name Social Security Date of birth Account Number
I created a text box above the list box to search records but dont know how to link the two
Also created Option buttons
Last Name First Name Social Security Date of Birth Account #
So if i need to search by last name i click on the last name option box and type the last in the search text above the list box and so forth any ideas.
I have drop down list linked to table included "agent names" , the names appeared normally in the form but not Alphabetic (A-Z) although the table was alphabetic .
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?
I have a list box pulling information from a table. It include fields for last name, first name, primary number, secondary number, and id; of course with different names. I display first and last name, but the rest are hidden. What would be ideal is if I could begin typing someones first or last name in the text box and it would just start either narrowing the list, like in itunes, or would start skipping down the list and would be highlighted. For example. If I was searching the number for walmart, i could go to the text box and type "wal" and it might highlight "wallace, james"; and if I added and "m" to that, it would skip down to "walmart".
I would settle for autofill and click a search command button when I'm done, and it takes me to that entry in the list box. I copied some code off the internet. Don't know if it'll work, but here is what I got.
Private Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate() Dim srchstrng As String srchstrng = Me.txtSearch.Value SQL = " SELECT Phone.last_name, Phone.first_name FROM Phone_" WHERE (((Phone.last_name) Like '*" & srchstrng & "*'));" Form.RecordSource = SQL DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRefreshPage End Sub

i have got the bellow code that filters a listbox which is based on a query, from a textbox. The code works fine and it Filters, but if i put in too many characters that do not exsit in the data( so it cant display any results) i get an error saying Run time error 2105 - You cant go to the Specified record? how i can catch this error so it does nothing apart from display a blank listbox with no error?
code:
Private Sub txtSearch_Change() Me.lstShowSupplier.Requery DoCmd.Requery Me.txtSearch.SetFocus If Not IsNull(Len(Me.txtSearch)) Then Me.txtSearch.SelStart = Len(Me.txtSearch) End If End Sub
When you use a combobox to search values in the form - and someone searches for a value that isn't there - the form just defaults to the first entry. Is there a way of putting a message box that says "This is a new patient" (or something like that). The NotInList event doesn't work - any ideas??
I was able to create a very user-friendly pop-up search form : {URL] .....
I would like to take it a step further... Now, I would like to grab the selected record ID from within one of the list box columns and use it in my SQL statement (to copy the record into a new one). Is there any way to reference a highlighted record value within a list box recordset directly and/or any workarounds?
I know one would be to grab the ID and insert it into the text box, just don't know what the coding references would be for this.
I have used John Big Bootys Dynamic Search Form, however to search on the fields I want I have created a query which has mutiple tables and when I get a duplicate value in the search box, i.e. in Client, there are 2 client "A"s and when I click on one it automatically chooses both.From here I want to create a double click event to open that records in a form, but I can't if it defaults to both records.
Is it possible to make a form where you have two textboxes to search a table and show the search results in a list under the textboxes? Also making the list items clickable?
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?
I have created a multi field search form that have 2 textbox and 2 multiselect listbox(extended). How to make the search form query correctly? Below are the details.
I also have a button that run the query qrySearchForm .how am I going to make the query run successfully with multiselect listbox ? I understand that there are a lot of examples of the vba code for multiselect but that is only for multiselect alone and not like my search form that combine textbox and multiselect listbox.
I have a master data table containing 4 columns and ~ 500K rows. I have a list of keyterms from column1, column2 and column3. How do I use Access to search the masta data table and return the corresponding column4 value for each row on the list.
