Prompt To Search On A Portion Of Database Record
Feb 5, 2007
I am trying to create a Form in which a user is prompted for a road name and that a listing of all values having that road name are displayed. My problem is that Road Name in the database is a combination of the road name and road suffix such as Evergreen Street. I want the operatior to be able to enter just the road name, Evergreen, and get a listing of all Evergreen addresses; Evergreen St., Evergreen Rd., Evergreen Ln., etc. How do I create the prompt so that it ignores the road suffix and searches just on the name?
I should add that I know how to use brackets in a form prompting the user to input a parameter. In a query I can use "*" to find all those records having a portion of the desired data. For example in my query I can use "Evergreen*"
to find all records where the fisrt portion of the data record is Evergreen.
How can I apply the "*" to a user entry prompt.

I posted this in the table section however it is better suited here I think.
I have a field in a table that I imported in. This field has the first/last/ and Middle initial all in one. So name=Frank H. Urtz.
So I want to set my criteria to say something like give me everything up to the first " " as expr1. Give me everything from first " " to second " " as expr2. Give me everything thing from second " " to the end as expr3.
What is the the statement I want for this?

I was just wondering if there is any way to set this up so that the one prompt box searches 2 different fields.

I have a combo box that is populated by a query. The problem is that the query pulls data from a different database than the rest of the form and it prompts the user for a password to access this database.
Is there any way of coding the password into the form so that the connection to the database is opened automatically without prompting the user?
Thanks.

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.

But how do I have a message box pop up that warns the user he is about to edit an already entered record?
Is there a setting for this in the form design. Or do I need VBA, in which case what form event would I tie the msg box too?

I do not have a split db. I am prompted to enter my password when the db opens which is fine. However, when I close the db it prompts me to enter a password (not normal) and when I enter it it says invalid password. Also, when I try to change my password it says invalid password and when I try to compact and repair my db it say invalid password.

I currently have a database with a few search forms. I recently attempted to add a box on one of my search forms to search 3 cells of a record for a key word. What happens is when I go to search, say for P0442, it does not bring up all of the records that contain that keyword in the 3 cells I have outlined. If I step down the code in the OR boxes of the query, it seems to work better but then for some reason my other search criteria , (Tracking number etc) does not work. I will upload the database for reference. I am currently working on the Search(View Only) and that is where you will find the query to work on.

I have a database that uses four forms and each form has it's own table and each form has it's own search button to find a specific record within that table. I would like to use one search button that will look at all four tables and bring up the correct record when the request number is entered. Can I link all the tables to perform this or is code required? Can someone send me in the right direction for how to do this? Give me an example of code if it's required?
Thanks for any help I can get.

I probably have an easy question for one of you out there, but I just cannot get it myself.
I need to extract the data between two characters in a string.
The data will be similar to this:
T4454: Text Text-Text: $296.07: Text Text
I need to get the dollar amount between the dollar sign and the colon on the right of it.
So far, I have this for my query:
Amount1: Mid$([subject],InStr([subject],"$"))
Which gets the amount to the left side, but also has the $ in it.
In the example above, I would like to just end up with 296.07 as the result from the query. I should also add that the dollar amount may vary from 1.00 to #,###.00
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

I am adding another portion to my database and since this is a little different than the other parts I created, I wanted to get some input from the experts.
I am adding Certifications to my database. I am currently tracking skills, OSHA, & Licenses for all employees. My current count for the Certification is around 45. I'm wondering if I should set this up like I did my Skills (look up table for skills that is connected by a one to many relationship to another table) or have all the info on one table?

Hi All:
I have no idea how to start this task.
Table 1:
Students that are registered this semester. The unique Identifier = full 9
digits of SS#'s
Table 2:
Students and regular people current working for the college. Unique identifer
= only the last 4 digits of their SS#'s
Objective:
I need to know what registerd students or regular people are currently
working in the college.
In other words, compare table 1 and table 2. The problem is I do not have a
common unique identifier in both tables.
Additional Info:
Each table also has:
* Last_Name
* First_Name
I was thinking many do a DUAL comparison...Let's say compare the last four
digits numbers and the last and first name from table 2 vs the last four
digits and the last and first name from table 1.
Can this be done?
Thank you very much in advance for any ideas.

I have built a custom search form in a MS Access 2010 database so that users can find specific records to edit. After entering the search criteria and hitting a Search button, another form opens up that shows the search results. This second form includes a command button for generating a report of the search results.
Right now, the custom search form and the search results form are both working properly, but the search results report is showing every record in the database instead of just the search results. This is true whether I access the report via the command button in the form or the navigation pane. I'm not sure if I need to correct my VBA code or the report's properties.

trying to get something working on a form. When creating a new client, due to privacy, we have to create a Unique ID for each one. The ID consists of their initials, the year, a serial number and the location. I have it mostly working except for the year. Let me show you what I have and the results, then what I would like the results to be.
In the control Source of the text box is:
=Left([FName],1) & "" & Left([LName],1) & "-" & [Forms]![frm_20_Enter_New_Client_Info_01]![NICN_Date] & "-" & [Forms]![frm_20_Enter_New_Client_Info_01]![NICN_Serial] & "-" & [Forms]![frm_20_Enter_New_Client_Info_01]![Combo1]
Form Input:
FName = John
LName = Smith
Date = 2014 (Using Date format and 'YYYY') and default Now()
Combo1 = NW
Results: JS-4/2/2014 9:32:51-18-NW
Desired Results: JS-2014-18-NW
So everything is working but I'm getting the entire and I just want the year.

When data is input to my form and when i click on preview report, the preview report displays all results (my report source is from my query). However when I click on print preview a portion of data is missing. Basically is the check boxes I have in the report. They all are grayed out. These check boxes are unbounded and not related to the query. Basically I have an event procedure created upon clicking print preview as follows:
Private Sub PreviewMRO_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptMRODataEntry", acViewReport
If MROReason = "Repair" Then
[Code] ....
The selections are all drop down boxes in the form and upon selection it will populate the text boxes in my report. It seems to work perfectly upon clicking the preview report button but when I click on print preview the check boxes are grayed out.

I want whenever I'm updating or adding records to my form, the ID automatically take the value of the previous ID and increment it by 1.
The field type is text (mixed with number) - PM0000000.
I've done some research, what I understand is that I need to:
-do a lookup and
-find the MAX of the number portion.
Name of form - Payment
Name of table - Payment
Name of field - payment_id
I tried these, but to no avail...
Private Sub payment_id_Click()
payment_id = DLookup(("[payment_id]", "Payment", "[payment_id]=Forms![Payment]![payment_id]-1")payment_id + 1)
End Sub
[Code] .....
