Hi all
I have a query linked to a report that prints a worksheet specific to a individual work item. This report/query picks up the Work_ID value on a form. I have 2 other forms displaying the same work with different amounts of detail. Rather than create a new report/query to run from each form, I am trying to use the one query/report from each form.
The problem is that I cannot get Access to recognise the Work_ID value from the other forms. I have tried the following:
In the Work_ID criteria field building an SQL statement as below
[Forms]![frmVCRUpdate]![Work_ID] Or [Forms]![frmVCRShort]![Work_ID] Or [Forms]![frmVCRLong]![Work_ID] - This does not work, it keeps asking for the frmVCRUpdate Work_ID value when I try to run the query from the other forms
Adding 2 extra Work_ID Values to the query and on the 2nd and 3rd criteria lines specifying that it look for the Work_ID value from the other forms but I get the error above.
Any suggestions on how I can make this work would be appreciated, I'm not sure what else to do.

Wonder if you guys can help me with something. I have a table with about 1200 guests, what I want to do is to search the table base on different criteria (or combination of criteria), namely phone #, name, street name, and postal code. Not everyone has all this info, and their names aren't separted into proper lastname or firstnames (old data).
What I want to do is to be able to type in a person's first name, last name, or both (an maybe other info if the first search wasn't successful).

What should I do to implement this? I was thinking of running 4 different queries, and interesect them into the final query. What do you think?
I have a form on which I have about 6 combo-boxes and a set of 3 radio buttons.
I'm to the point that all the querys that fill these combo-boxes are in place.
What I want now is a search button that updates a datagrid under it when clicked. The query in this datagrid needs to be parameterised with the selected values in the comboboxes or radio buttons. It should be possible to only select one combobox before pressing update.
At this point I placed a subform in the form to bind this query to. ( the datagrid I need). Is a subform the correct object for this or are there other possibilities?
For some boxes only a line to the where clausule of the SQL statement needs to be added. For some other (one) and the radio buttons a join needs to be made with another table. So I will have to build my sql statement dynamicaly in some vba code, run it when the search button is clicked and refresh the datagrid.
Does ab has a sample database in which such a search form is being used?
I must have downloaded like 10 sample DB's now but nothing I can use...
Hi there i am building a search form and I want it to be able to display results from multiple criteria......Currently I am able to display results in a listbox, whenever the user types in a id number in a text box. So if a user types 63 in the ID text box the record with and ID of 63 will appear in the list box or it will wont if the record does not exist..... What i want to do is be able to search on multiple criteria. Sof if a user wants to search based on a name instead of a id number they woudl be able to. What I am struggling to grasp is how to invoke a OR in the criteria box. So that the list box will display results based on either the ID text box OR the name text box.
I'm currently trying to build in access a replica of an atrocious search function in excel.
I have a list of data quite simply in 5 columns and i want to filter through this data about (10000 rows).
My form has 5 data points.
The first is Product Name this is a string (i've looked up a lot of codes to search strings and even partial strings but no one seems to have done what i need).
- Basically i need it to search for any / multiple parts of the string entered. - for example if someone enters apple trees june i need it to look for cells containing those three words in any order, even conjoined for example "appletreejune" would still return or "apples on a tree in june". - This is attached to a single col called Product Name.
Based on this search i need it to look for data in a col called mark type (which is selected by a drop down)
Then by Market Context (also a drop down)
Then by a start and an end date, however, only one of the values (start or end) needs to be between the start and the end dates listed in the start and end date columns in the table.
Staff are monitored to make sure they are keeping up to date with our customers. A customer can have multiple projects going through the factory at any one time. Each customer has a record per project and a 'general' record. Ideally we would like our staff to be able to move the 'general' record when they update a project record as opposed to either having to find and then update the general record after, or forgetting and calling the customer again 2 days later!
Including a msgbox for the EnqNum seems to show the general record correctly, however being new to access I am unsure if I have the update part correct.
Code: If Me.chkMoveGen.Value = "-1" Then Dim EnqNum As Integer EnqNum = DLookup("[e_id]", "tblEnquiries", "[c_id]=" & Me.txtc_id & " and [e_status] = " & "13") DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE tblEnquiries " & _ " SET e_date_due=#" & Format(Me.txte_date_due, "MM/DD/YYYY") & "#" & _ " WHERE e_id= EnqNum"
I have a problem printing a Subform that uses multiple criteria(in textboxes) as filters.
The search portion of the form works fine. The problem is I have created a report based on the subform and am using the following code to open/filter the report
Code: Private Sub PrintBtn_Click() Dim strCriterion As String Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String
All retailers have at least one distributor BUT a retailer may or may not have ordered any products.
I have created my form but the query linked to the form is having some trouble. It is only selecting those records that have ordered products. For example, if I query a retailer name only and it does not have any ordered products, it will not display. Is there a problem with the table joins? The SQL for the query is displayed here:
Cant seem to work this one out. I have quite a complex search form. The underlying query displays the results in a list box on the same form.
So far I have used the following expression for all the fields on my form (whether text or integer values): Like "*" & [Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![AssetName] & "*"
This appeared to work correctly. However, now my Asset Management System is storing a number of Equipment Type's. As one of the query criteria is Equipment Type ID it means that selecting PC (1) also displays the details for Printer (11), Scanner (12) etc......
I know why it does this (because these numbers start with a 1 and I am using a like expression). However I cannot seem to get it working.
The equipment type value is present in every record so I dont think I can use =FormValue or FormValue Is Null. I did try: =[Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![EquipmentType] Or Like "*" & [Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![EquipmentType] & "*"
but it seemed to skip the first parameter and still displayed printers etc. as before.
I have a feeling this may be easier than I expect however I am at a standstill.
I have a Query that is called from an unbound list box when data is typed into one or all three unbound txtBoxes "txtLastName" ,"txtFirstName", and "txtVIN" the query populates the listbox almost as it should..
The purpose is to identify duplicate entries based on three critera, last name, first name and VIN with the VIN bieng an execption meaning that if the VIN does not match I still want the matched first and last names to remain in view..
When I open the form where the list and text boxes are all records show in the listbox and as I begin to type the last name all records that do not match that critera are dropped, the same goes for the first name this works great. Once I get to the VIN however if there is no match I loose all three and the listbox is empty.
Is there a way to maintain matched names in the list view eventhough there is no match for the VIN?
Below is the code I am using in the Query Design, it is the same for all three fields Lastname, FirstName and VIN.
Like "*" & [Forms]![frm NewOrderVINVerify]![VinToFindFen] & "*"
I have a multivalue criteria inside a listbox that I need to use to filter several data out of a table by using a query. The multivalue textfield is the 3rd column of the listbox (eg. John Jonson,Tom Boost,Kim Moore). When I select a row inside the listbox, I want all the adressess of the people that are mentioned in the 3rd column when I click on a button. How do I make this criteria for a query to get the information I wanted?
having trouble using a text box on a form to set the search criteria for a particular field within a query.
Ideally i would like to enter the criteria in a textr box then click a button which sets the criteria and opens the query results in a report,
I have designed the query but cant which works if you go into the design and enter the criteria. the problem lies with getting the text box on teh form to set teh criteria.
If i use the expression builder to set the criteria to the same value of the "text" within the "text box" on said form the following happens,
If i open the query itself it opens a small window and displays the "expression" that i entered in the criteia box, above the data entry. the query does work this way but dont understand why the expression is displayed??? The text box on the form also becomes locked, not allowing data to be entered.
I have tried to link the query direct to the text box. also tried creating a table which has data entered via form then linking the query criteria to a field in the table.
Could some one point me in the right direction please
Hi there, I have a search form with a text box (unassigned at the moment). The search I want to conduct, filters the product number by the users search string with the use of * as a wildcard option.
I also have a Query with all the product numbers listed, no criteria set. How can I link the the search string in the search form to the query so when the search button is pressed, it will filter the results.
I have a search form that uses several comboboxes, textboxes and checkboxes that are used as criteria in a query. You enter in the relevant information, hit search and a report opens based on the filtered query.
What I would like to do is change one of these combo boxes to a listbox and use the multiple selection as the query criteria. I know it's not as simple as just putting the listbox as a criteria in the query, and I've also tried many different variations on the varItem and strWhere code.
I am attempting my first access database which tracks blood components in our medical facility. When a component is issued to a patient there is a button to push which links to a report that runs a query. The user must enter the unique key for the component at a promt, which ensures the report generated will be for that component only. My question is if there is a way to cpture and use that key automatically when pressing the button. If I need to clarify something, please let me know--I may not have the Access developer lingo down yet...
I have an access 2007 database connect to sql server 2008.I am running a pass though query to search between two dates (this query has been fine for years)
If I now run any search using parameters from 26th March 2014 to date - the query takes 10+ minutes to run.If I then change the date to 25th March 2014 to date - it runs in a nano second.I have not changed the back tables and I have not changed the format the data is saved in.
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 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'm working on a purchasing app in access. At this point i'm working on the reporting module. I want a user to be able to fill out a start date (text box), end date (text box), and select a code from a list, hit Run Query, and have it pull up a report listing the date that the selected code was used, between the start and end date, and display other info as well.
The problem i'm having is that i can get the date ranges to work, or the code to work, but not both of them. Here's what i have in my query:
I have 3 fields that I need to run a query on. Date_Image, IMAGE_SYSTEM and DATE_TO_BR. If there is no entry in either fields, it should be part of the query. If entry is in both Date_Image and Image_system, I do not need those results in the query. If Date_to_br field is empty, I must have an entry in the other 2 fields before this record is not displayed in the query. I hope I was able to explain this clear enough. I was trying to do this with the IS null and Is Not Null expressions, but I am not getting the results I want.
This is probably an easy one but for some reason I'm not finding it in any of my reference sources.
I'm trying to set up a query that calculates tax my company owes the gov't, and the tax varies based on year to date totals. The 1st $30,000 is taxed at 4% and everything over $30,000 is taxed at 5%.
tblOrders has fields for date, CustomerID, OrderID and OrderTotal. Can the query have an expression field ("UpTo30") for ([OrderTotal] <=$30000) and also a 2nd expression ("Over30") for ([OrderTotal]>$30000)? And in the same query is it possible to also include the calculated fields for ([Upto30]*0.04) and ([Over30]*0.05)?
My main question is where to put the criteria - all I'm seeing talks about multiple criteria being State=NH AND/OR Name=R*, not multiple criteria on the same field. When I try WHERE statements I just get error msg no matter what the syntax is.
I have created a database for my department to log all of our jobs to keep track of them and I want to create a simple search for them but I am having difficulties.
I am familiar with creating queries to search tables for matching records, but is it possible to get search criteria from the user (ideally from a search form they fill in) to form the query?
For example, I would like the user to be able to query the jobs by month and/or business area and/or supplier...is this possible?:confused:
Is it at all possible to search across multiple tables with one query. I have a database with about 15 tables and my users would like to be able to search for text across all the fields in all the tables. I have a simple find record command on each table, but in case they are not sure which table to search i would like to offer a search function which in theory searches the whole database.
I have 15 tables (eg witnesses/policies/activities etc), each with different fields (eg name, address/ policy decision, policy reason/ activity undertaken, activity person etc etc) . In total i would like to be able to search about 50 fields. All i need returned from the search is the record ID from the relevant table, or anything to simply identify the record & relevant table. And then they could go to the correct place to look the record up.
I have been looking for an answer for a while. I have seen queries where you enter the parameters against each field going down a row each time for criteria being "OR" each time, but there are a limited number of rows on a query design so i run out of rows.
