Modules & VBA :: Search Form Not Returning Records With Blank Fields
Nov 14, 2013
I'm creating a search form to filter out data based on certain inputs. My VBA code looks like:
Code:
Private Sub Command18_Click()
On Error GoTo errorcatch
Me.Filter = "([Experiments.Log] Like ""*" & Me.Text21 & "*"") AND ([Expdate] Like ""*" & Me.Text22 & "*"") AND ([BaseSolution] Like ""*" & Me.Text24 & "*"") AND([AddCom] Like ""*" & Me.Text25 & "*"") AND ([Test] Like ""*" & Me.Text26 & "*"") AND ([Plan] Like ""*" & Me.Text23 & "*"")"
Me.FilterOn = True
Exit Sub
errorcatch:
MsgBox "Error #: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End Sub
However, the output does not include records where other fields are blank. I have read that I may need to use Is Null but am not sure how to.
I have a switchboard which runs a google style search query to find people based on their first name, surname, date of birth or NI number on clicking the search button. It uses the following criteria in the query Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchF]![Firstname] & "*" for each of the above fields.
This works perfectly until someone inputs a record that doesn't have anything in one of the fields. ie, full name and DoB, but no NI number. When a record is entered in this way, the table stores the record but the search query cannot find it.
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 "*"
I have a search button / text field on a form with the following code:
Private Sub SearchButton1_Click()
Code:
Dim rsTemp As Recordset If IsNull(Me.SearchField1) = False Then Set rsTemp = Me.RecordsetClone rsTemp.FindFirst "[CompassRef] = '" & Me.SearchField1 & "'" If Not rsTemp.NoMatch Then Me.Bookmark = rsTemp.Bookmark
[Code] .....
Unfortunately it only returns the 'No record found' MsgBox, even if SearchField1 is populated with relevant content.
I have a form with various text, date and combo controls. There is a button at the button that runs a macro (Close NB) at the bottom. What I'm trying to do is bring up a msgbox if certain fields are blank and not run the macro. I only want the macro to run if all the fields specified have data in them.
The fields are : cmb_cliname cmb_disease cmb_projectType cmb_ProposalStatus
The on click code is: If (Me.cmb_cliname Is Null) Then MsgBox "Please fill in the relevant details", ElseIf (Me.cmb_Disease Is Null) Then MsgBox "Please fill in the relevant details"
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.
The unbound Parent form has a listbox (SQL Server) , the selection updates the SubForm with a primary key ID. The Subform is a ReadOnly view from an Oracle Linked table. It populates with a Select * From Oracleview where ID = listboxID The code is at the link shown below update: The subform uses textboxes linked to the read-only record.
The main form can populate, no problem. However the SubForm data source is either populated OR is Null.
If it is Null, the subform stays blank. Two Objectives:
1. Set a boolean variable flag in the parent (main form) that subform record exist or that it is null. e.g. Parent obtain recordset count property from Sub form 2. Display the subform with blanks.
I'm a high school student working on an Access project for a summer internship. I needed your assistance in writing a criteria for a select query.
Table1 has the following fields: ID, First_Name, Last_Name, Org, Email, Status
Only "Email" is mandatory, ID is autonumber, the rest are optional.
I have to create a query that will allow users to search the table with any of the fields above. A user may search with only one field, e.g. all users where "org" = "YMCA"
Presently, I am using the similar criteria for all the fields:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![txt_FirstName] & "*"
The problem occurs when, for example a record exists with the following - First_Name = Null or Blank Last_Name = "Smith"
If you search for "Smith" in Last_Name, then the record does not show up, because First_Name in the record is blank.
How can I alter the criteria for it do search correctly?
I already tried: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![txt_FirstName] & "*" & ""

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 am having trouble with the below returning the correct number of records, and can't see why.
I have one table, tblDevice, which has 4 columns, ID | DeviceRecNo | ExcludeFromCheck | StockLocationID
ID - Autonumber DeviceRecNo - Number ExcludeFromCheck - Number (1 = yes, 0 - No) StockLocationID - Number
I have the following running as part of some code, but it is not returning the correct number of records, and I cant see why not. I have tried creating this in a query in Access itself, and copy the SQL into VBA and it still doesn't return the correct number records.
I have 4 records in there for testing, all with StockLocationID = 3, all with different DeviceRecNo, and two each of ExcludeFromCheck, 2x0 and 2x1
Code: Public Function test() Dim db As dao.Database Dim rs1 As dao.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb Set rs1 = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT DeviceRecNo FROM tblDevice WHERE StockLocationID = 3 AND ExcludeFromCheck = 'No'") Debug.Print rs1.RecordCount End Function
It is basically a DCount, and it should find records, but returns 0 all the time. My code is:
Code:
Function cntkit(sftd As Date, sftn As String, typid As Integer, specpaint As Boolean) As Integer 'Counts jobs kitted during shift given by sftd and sftn Dim timeformat As String timeformat = "#mm/dd/yyyy hh:nn:ss#" 'need this, to convert it to US datetime format cntkit = DCount("[JOB]", "Archive", "[Type] =" & typid & " And [Autfinish]=False And [SpecPaint] =" & specpaint & " And ([Kit] BETWEEN " & Format(sftstart(sftd, sftn), timeformat) & " AND " & Format(sftstart(sftd, sftn), timeformat) & ")") End Function
sftstart and sftend are functions which are returning dates. The funcion works fine if I omit the Between part of the criteria. So the problem is in that part.
I'm working on a db logging replies to a questionnaire. Judging by the responses I am receiving it appears that some sections are not completed at all. I need to be able to include these blank responses when it comes to analysis. My design splits the questionnaire into sections, each section has a data entry form with its own underlying table. Each table has a primary key (autonumber field) which relates to each organisation that has replied. If an organisation has failed to complete a section, I still need to create a new record in that section(table), triggering the autonumber field, hence referring back to the organisation. I know I haven't explained this very well, but if anyone can make sense of what I'm saying and can give me any suggestions on how to make this happen, I would be most grateful.
I am in the process of building Append Queries for new records, and I know I can do an Update Query to enter specific information. However, how can I update multiple records from a (externally sourced) linked table to fill in blanks of an existing table? I have created a query to identify records with 1 or more matching criteria which contain the blank fields. I now want to update those blank fields. The data in each blank field is different for each record (same type, just different data).
I have a query which selects a material ID and material name from one table and the associated manufacturer, supplier, and packaging type from three other tables. Some of the manufacturer, supplier, and packaging data were imported from an Excel spreadsheet and did not have data for those fields, so those fields are blank. When I run the query, I only get the records which have all fields filled out. How can I get the records where the material ID and material name are filled in, but the manufacturer, supplier, or packaging type are blank? Here is the query I'm using currently:
Code: SELECT tblMaterialSpecifications.ID, tblMaterialSpecifications.Critical, tblMaterialSpecifications.MaterialSupply, tblManufacturer.Manufacturer, tblSupplier.Supplier, tblPackaging.PackageType FROM tblPackaging INNER JOIN (tblSupplier INNER JOIN (tblManufacturer INNER JOIN tblMaterialSpecifications ON tblManufacturer.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.ManufacturerID) ON tblSupplier.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.SupplierID) ON tblPackaging.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.PackagingID WHERE (((tblMaterialSpecifications.ActiveInactive)=-1)) ORDER BY tblMaterialSpecifications.Critical, tblMaterialSpecifications.MaterialSupply;
I am making a database which has its output in PowerPoint. I have set it up so that each field value is shown on a different slide with the code for each slide like this:
This works fine until a filed is blank (which they sometimes are) where it then crashes with error 94 invalid use of null. What I was thinking was putting the whole thing above in an If-then-else statement so that a blank field does not produce a slide, something like:
Code: If IsNull(CStr(rs.Fields("Song 1 chosen_Verse 2").Value)) Then Else With .Slides.Add(rs.AbsolutePosition + 1, ppLayoutLargeObject) .FollowMasterBackground = False .Background.Fill.Solid .Background.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
[Code] .....
This doesn't work though - at least not like I have written it!
I got one months table containing a reporting_month ,timeperiod and an Index column ID with data type Autonumber.Basically I want to search through the table whenever the User types in a new reporting month or timeperiod over the dialogue.Now I want to realize the following options:
1. The user types in a new reporting month, when a record in the months table exists with a timeperiod and a blank reporting month field, it should be assigned there. For example the User types in reporting month = 032014 it should be assigned to the Time_Period Value = 042014-032015
2. Vice versa, the user types in a time period. This value shuold be assigned to the blank field beneath the existing reporting month.
Hey there! I've been searching about this forum and found a lot of threads on this sort of issue but haven't been able to figure it out from those alone, so feeling a bit useless :o long winded explanation by the way... I'm useless at explaining! :D
Well basically I have a query that is supposed to power a flexible search form, where you choose the fields you want to search by and enter your criteria. The form contains labelled fields with checkboxes next to them, which you tick if you want to search for something in that field. The results are displayed in a subform which reads from the query.
The problem is with the query! My solution seemed to work fine when I put my criteria in just one field when testing (that is the fields in query design builder, not the form), but when I applied the same to two fields it didn't. Instead, it would return nothing unless I specified exact and correct criteria for BOTH fields I had set up with my solution. So whereas before I could tick "Customer" and search for a customer account number and it would display ALL relevant records, now if i just ticked "Customer" and entered the same number, it would display nothing, unless I ALSO ticked "Booking" and entered a correct booking number that matched a record for that customer in the tables.
I've heard iif statements don't do too well in the criteria fields in the query design builder?? But I know nothing about using SQL really.
For example for the invoices field have used: IIf([Forms]![frmFindInvoices]![ChkInvNo]=True,[Forms]![frmFindInvoices]![InvNo])
So: IIf(form checkbox = true, form text box value)
However it seems to think that if the checkbox is not ticked, I want it to only display EMPTY invoicing fields. This is never the case and so no records are shown! If the tick box is not shown, there is not supposed to be criteria for this field, in other words it should allow ANYTHING through.
What I don't know how to do is tell the bloody thing that if the box is NOT ticked, it is NOT to check for anything in this field, because the user does not want to specify any criteria for this field! Things like "Is Null" produce the same results, probably because the query still thinks I want it to find records that have empty fields.
Any suggestions to specify to the query what I want? I really need to get this done! Thanks! :)
They are all numerical values that I need to format into percentages however Field3 could contain zero so I can't replace Null with zero. I simply want to return nothing if Field1 is equal to Field2.
Code: Public Function DegreeChecker(AGShrs As Integer, ASBAhrs As Integer, ASCJhrs As Integer, AAhrs As Integer) As String Dim Degree As String If ((AGShrs = 0) And (ASBAhrs = 0)) Then Degree = "ASBA" ElseIf ((AGShrs = 0) And (ASCJhrs = 0)) Then Degree = "ASCJ"
[code]...
The problem is, the information that is populating the query which is running this code may not be there. As in some of the fields, AA, AGS, ASBA, and ASCJ might be left blank. Unless these four fields are populated by something, it returns #Error instead of the specified number.Is there a way to say, If variable is blank, ignore and continue on to check if the next thing is 0, or if none are 0, state Potential.The information in this query is to be exported out to excel to be used as a Mail Merge file.
I have made a search form for my company, where all the data is put simply into the tables and i have made a search form to search with the selected fields, it was working at first, but now it just displays blank table when i search.I am using ms access 2007.Here is the sql of the query::
My subforms are randomly adding blank records and one subform I would like to stay blank repopulates with data, though not necessarily the most recently added record. Both of these seem to happen when I navigate to other main records in the database and then return to this page.Using Access 2013, I have a large form with 10 pages. On one of the pages, I have two subforms. This is set up to gather many-to-one data. The top subform is my data entry form with three fields (two combo and a text) and a command button. The bottom subform is a datasheet displaying the three fields.
The two combo boxes are cascading, and they work great. The text box is there to collect additional info for each selection. The command button works to
1) save the record, 2) requery both subforms in order to display the new data on the datasheet, 3) clear the combo and text boxes, and 4) set focus back to the initial combo box. It all works!
But then when I leave that main record, the horror begins: blank records (from the "many" table) show up on the datasheet and the data entry fields do not stay blank. I suspect my problem is in the command button. I added this code to the OnClick for the command button:
Code:
Private Sub addMinistryItems_Click() 'save record If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False 'requery both subforms Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Child572.Form.Requery Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Ministries1.Form.Requery
I've set up a simple query that returns 6 columns of data.This query then shows on a sub-form elsewhere in my DB.The problem is that the query always appears with a horizontal slider. Allowing the user to scroll across to see the other columns in the query...The problem here is that there ARE no other columns of data. They are just empty. I want to restrict the output of this query to ONLY show the 6 columns that i have specified.
I have tried deleting the columns in Query Designer, then save the Query. But every time i re-open it half a dozen or so blank columns are stuck on the end.
I am using .FormFields to fill a quotation template in Word, but the subform I am retrieving the data from has rows of records under each column and I need to send more than just the first row to fill the required bookmarks in Word.
