Please Help:Searching Multiple Tables!
Jan 3, 2005
Is there a way to search multiple tables for a record. I have 4 tables, each containing a different product. In each table are lists of serial numbers (primary key) and other information (ship_to, sales_order_number,etc.) for the product. I want to be able to enter a serial number and display the information related to that serial number. Not all fields are the same for each table. Is this possible? I would greatly appreciate any help!!

Ok folks I have what is proving to be a doozy for me.
I have a multiple table database related fields in each one are:
Procedure
Description
Payable Amount
I am trying to find a way to search particular tables for particular Procedures. My output must include fields: Procedure, Description, Payable Amount. I have tried a form but I would have to included way too many text boxes to accompish what I am looking for. If possible I would like to have three text boxes if a form is possible. I would start the search and my output would end up in the text boxes below:
Procedure, Description, Payable Amount
With of course some sort of Identifier of the table that was selected to search in.
Can anyone help me?

Ok,
I have three tables that are named different, but have the same column names, but different data in them. The data in each table is linked by a master table that has a primary key.
What I need is a way to make a form with a box where I can search on a value that could be in any of the three tables and then the associted information from the site will display in the above boxes.
(Site Master Table contains all site information and the primary key)
(The three tables are sales order information. Stage Only table, Install table, and srop ship table)
Any ideas?

Hi. Please do not lecture me on database normalization, as this truly is not in my control.
I have 2 dozen tables, each with 13 fields. All of the field names exist in at least 12 of the tables. And all tables share a ssn field where values are common.(Confused yet? Sorry, if you are...)
If I design a query showing all 2 dozen tables and their fields...
Can I set up a query criteria where I enter the requested ssn and then the required field name and have the result show the values of all the fields with that name, among the ones of the 2 dozen tables where that field name exists? (for that specified ssn)
If I am only as clear as mud, please let me know, and I will try again.
Or, by asking if I can search for field values querying by field name, am I any clearer?

Hi,
I currently have an employee database - all info is currently in one table.
I am wanting to create a search box in my form which allows me to search for multiple bits of information. ie. I would like to be able to type in either a first name, surname, full name, or employee id number (for example), press enter, and for it to display the results (either by going to the first that it finds, and me then clicking find next, or by displaying all found in an index so that you double click the one that you want - i am not too fussed... the main issue is getting the search box to look in multiple fields).
I currently have the following code:
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
DoCmd.GoToControl ("Surname")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind
'If FindRecord = True Then
'Exit Sub
'End If
DoCmd.GoToControl ("EIN")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind
'If FindRecord = True Then
'Exit Sub
'End If
DoCmd.GoToControl ("forename")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind
End Sub
(ignore the notes - they were trial and error for something else).
Currently, when i press find, this code will find the first of anything - ie i time in Frank and the first Frank will appear (unless someones surname begins with Frank). What i can't seem to do is get it to progress to the next record if i press a find next button.
I have also tried the following code, but it only works if i put in an EIN number:
Private Sub Findall_Click()
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
DoCmd.GoToControl ("ein")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind, acStart, acAll, True
Any thoughts? I think i'm probably looking at this in completely the wrong way.
Oh, also i am quite new to VB, so please forgive any silly questions that i am likely to ask!
Kind regards,
Fergus.

I have a button with this code attached
Dim SearchStr2 As String
SearchStr = "[PROTECHNIC_NUMBER] = " & "'" & Forms![FRMPATIENT]![Frm_ICP_Select].Form![Protechnic_Number] & "'" _
And "[ICP_Code]" = Forms![FRMPATIENT]![Frm_ICP_Select].Form![ICP_Code]
DoCmd.OpenForm "FRMASSESMENTHEAD", acNormal
Forms!FRMASSESMENTHEAD.Filter = SearchStr
Forms!FRMASSESMENTHEAD.FilterOn = True
If the button is clicked it should open the FRMASSESMENTHEAD form where the Protechnic Number (which is a text field) and the ICP Code(which is numeric) is the same as the ones on the current subform.
It works great if just using one of the criteria but when i put the and command in and then add the second criteria i get an erroer message saying
Run-time error '13':
Type mismatch
hope this makes sense and can anyone help :confused:

i have created a form for my database where i intend to give the user the option of searhing my more than one criteria but not all.
i have used a system of combo boxes for the user to enter thier choises leaving the combobox blank for any criteria they dont know.
the user then clicks th button to open the query
in the query i have set the criteria for the fields to equall the related combo bo in the form.
however if the comboboy is left blank (0 or null) the query looks for a record where that field is also null. as a result it wont return any records.
an example
on the table tblFault there is the record
FaultID; 7
Computer id; 2
Name; c
Room-ID; it1
Date Of Fault; 05/06/07
on the form the user enters the following values into the combobox
FaultID; 7
ComputerID;
Nme; c
Room-ID; it1
Date of Fault 05/06/07
the query returns no records insead of the record above.
this is because it is looking for a record in the table where the Computer-ID field contains a null value.
is ther a way to ignore the chriteria if the combobox contains a null value????
i have tried to use vb to convert all null values to be "Like "*"" but it keeps returning a type missmatch error but still changes to combo box value to ; Like .

Hi,
Not sure where to put this, but as I want the information to be shown in form view, I guess this is the bext place to start.
In breif, I have created a database, in which infomation on machinery is held.
The problem I am having (atm), is I have to create a function, which I want to be presented in form form, where by each item can be searched by it's RequestID (unique) or the customer who owns it, so that its current location can be attached (or viewed).
I'm not sure whether i've worded this well, so to sumerise:
I need a form with 3 fields, RequestID, Customer and Location.
Where by I input the RequestID, which brings up the Customer and Location, or input Customer which brings up the RequestID and Location (obviously there will be mulitple results from Customer search).
Again, I hope I haven't confused anyone because it's pretty simple what i'm trying to say, but....
Thanks, Ben

OK - I'm kinda new to all this stuff (as you're about to find out from my question).
I've got a page with a search form, where visitors enter a search term. That page uses GET to pass the variable to the results page. The SQL on the results page is pretty simple, it just takes the variable from the URL and filters for records:
WHERE columnname CONTAINS
Request.QueryString("passedvariable")
So that all works fine - except that it does not allow for complex searches. If someone searches for 'fish' then that works fine. If someone searches for 'fish and food' then the search looks for "fish and food" somewhere in the record, rather than looking for both of those terms in a record.
Now, I'm guessing that there's no simple solution for who to get this to work, but I'm hoping that someone can help me out and at least point me in the right direction. I'd be happy to post additional code if you need it - but I don't even know what else to post!
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
Im trying to set up a combobox on my Customer Contact Information form, where you can enter a phone/fax/cell/pager or any misc number, and it will bring up the appropriate customer.
Is it possible to make a query that will show the different phone number fields as one field?
Thank you so much for your help, and please let me know if I can clarify anything.

I have a form where a user enters data. One of the things the user enters is a "lot size". I need this lot size field to be checked against a query in the database to determine if the quantity is acceptable or not.
The order number in this query is in certain cases missing a leading zero, so I need to truncate this from the user entered form field.Finally I want the user to be notified if they are trying to exceed the lot size in the query.My code is as follows:
Code:
Public Function RemoveFirstChar(RemFstChar As String) As String
Dim TempString As String
TempString = RemFstChar
If Left(RemFstChar, 1) = "0" Then
If Len(RemFstChar) > 1 Then
TempString = Right(RemFstChar, Len(RemFstChar) - 1)
End If
End If
[code]....

Hello..
I am using the following code to run a query off one table to print a report. Here is the sql statement:
SELECT tblMain.EntryNumber, tblMain.EntryDate, tblMain.EmpNumber, tblMain.DriversLicNumber, tblMain.LName, tblMain.FName, tblMain.MInitial, tblMain.Address, tblMain.StreetName, tblMain.City, tblMain.State, tblMain.ZipCode, tblMain.EmployeeStatus, tblMain.Note, tblMain.LastUpdated, [LName] & ", " & [FName] & " " & [MInitial] AS FullName, [Address] & " " & [StreetName] & ", " & [tblCities.CityName] & " " & [tblStates.StateAbbreviation] & ". " & [ZipCode] AS FullAddress, tblStatus.Status
FROM ((tblMain INNER JOIN tblStates ON tblMain.State = tblStates.ID) INNER JOIN tblCities ON tblMain.City = tblCities.CityID) INNER JOIN tblStatus ON tblMain.EmployeeStatus = tblStatus.StatusID
WHERE (((tblMain.DriversLicNumber)=[Forms]![frmPrint]![txtLicNumber]));
Here is the code I am using on the command button:
Private Sub cmdViewLic_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdViewLic_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "rptLicNum"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptLicNum", acViewPreview
Exit_cmdViewLic_Click:
Me.txtLicNumber = Null
Exit Sub
Err_cmdViewLic_Click:
'MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdViewLic_Click
End Sub
Here is where I am running into the problems.
Problem #1
When I add the tables Spouses and Children to the main table in the query view I get the following erro: more then one table has LName etc.. Which is true. Is there anyway around this problem with out renaming table headers?
Problem #2
If I get problem #1 fixed how can I setup the search function I am using to look in the other two tables to pull information from them? I can get it to pull from one table how can I get it to pull information from all of my tables. I have been trying different things but nothing is working.
I don't know if it has to do with my query not working correctly when I add the other tables etc...
Thanks

Hi all,
I've got one question again.
Let's say. I've created several tables to store data for several categories.Note: there is no relationship between each table.In each table, there is the date field in which the record is created.
Then I want to make another daily record form that is to find records from all categories which is created at the current date.
Is this possible to search records from various tables and combine them to show in one form or report?
Can anyone help me in this case?
thanks in advance.

Can a Append Query move all my data stored in multiple tables to another database with a identical table structure?
Because as I try to work the query, I keep getting prompted to "Select a table" I want to append to, and I don't want to append to just one table...

I am currently building a booking and invoicing database for the small business where I work. One aspect of this database allows you to enter an employee name and schedule days off via a form I have already built. To access this information I would like a parameter query where you can enter a date once and then have this date looked up across a number of date fields. Here are my table column headings:
ID
Employee Name
Date 1
Date 2
Date 3
Date 4
Date 5
Date 6
Date 7
....etc
So, basically, the parameter query would ask "What date?" which the person would enter, and then search all 12 date fields to see if the date was contained in any one of them. Then it would pull any records which did have the date in one of the fields.
It seems really simple but I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the answer. Tried a multivalue field but does not seem to work.
Thanks very much, any help appreciated! Elspeth :confused:

Function GetAllFiles()
Dim fd As Object
Dim strFilter As String
Dim lngItems As Long
Const msoFileDialogOpen As Long = 3
Const msoFileDialogViewDetails As Long = 2

I need to count records based on multiple criteria from two different tables. I have two tables (i.e. "tblTasks" and "tblTaskHistory"). The tables have a one-to-many relationship based on the "TaskID" field. "tblTasks" has a field called "AssignedTo" and "tblTaskHistory" has a field called "TaskStatus". I need to know how many tasks have been "reopened", the "reopened" status is located in the "TaskStatus" field in "tblTaskHistory". I need this count against a unique listing of employees which can be found in the "AssignedTo" field in "tblTasks".

I would like to know which way is the best way to import excel data from multiple sheets in to multiple tables in access.
For example data from Sheet1 -> Table1, Sheet2->Table2, Sheet3->Table3 etc...
I have tried using this:
Cmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5, "Table1", "C:Importedfile.xlsx", True, "Sheet1!"
Ironically, data from Sheet2 and Sheet3 seem to be properly imported in to table2 and table3, but some of the data from Sheet1 seems to be missing in Table1 after import.
Any other ways to import the data?

A small issue I was wondering of for a few day . Is it possible in SQL query to SELECT multiple fields from multiple tables ? Example for the question is
Code:
dim my_var as String
my_var = "SELECT Emp_FName , Emp_LName , Emp_Adress " _
& " FROM Table1 " _
& " AND Emp_Date_Of_Payment , Emp_Sum_Of_Payment " _
& "FROM Table2 " _
& " WHERE Emp_ID = 3 "
Is this code actually valid in SQL gramatics , and is it usable if passed to a Recordset variable ( rs = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset(my_var) ) ? Just FYI - The two tables are not related and I want to keep them that way (If possible relate their records just via SQL/Vba )

I have the following problem.
I have 3 tables made up of ID and NAME and other parameters.
NAME is unique field in each table, whilst ID is not unique. the three tables share the same fields, but can't be combined due to the NAME field not being unique throughout.
Now I have a single table that has a unique ID so I want to make a 1-inf relationship between this table and all three. the problem is how do I look at all three tables at the same time instead of having to insert subdatasheet on only one table.
see attached picture for the relationships.

What I have is a database setup with multiple tables in which different areas of my DC can input information simultaneously into their respective tables. I then have another database linked to it for myself to have a live view of each updated record. I would like to see all the records of each table in 1 single table (possibly just sorted ascending by time). Each table has the same Field headings but may have different qtys of records. As I will then have it linked to an Excel table to VLOOKUP from it.
I have tried Union coding but always get Syntax Error etc.

I'm using the MS Access 2010 ExportwithFormating action to export three tables to a single MS Excel 2010 workbook. The action overwrites the first excel worksheet each time instead of saving all three worksheets in a single excel workbook.
How can I export three tables into a single excel workbook.
