Queries :: Advanced Search Form - Is Between Or Is Null
May 14, 2013
I'm creating an advanced search form which is making use of Like queries and is Null. A working example is below:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Frm_Data_Mine]![Combo_Primary_SIC] & "*" Or Is Null
So this either returns matching values from the field, or basically ignores this if left blank. All good.
I have two other fields:
[Turnover_From]
[Turnover_To]
Both are numeric values. What I would like to achieve is the same as the above, so I can search between a from and to value, or if left null, ignore them. I had a go with the below but it's clearly not right, and I can work how where and how I insert the Like statement which makes the others work.
Between [forms]![Frm_Data_Mine]![Turnover_From] And [forms]![Frm_Data_Mine]![Turnover_From] Or Is Null
I want to make something similar to the Google search box, although not quite as complicated.
I would like to be able to type more than one word in a search box. I am only searching on 1 field [Title]. The query would show all the records with the first search word in the Title, plus all the records with the second search word in the Title.
I have a query now that has the below in the Title field criteria: Like "*" & [forms]![Searchform]![searchcontrol] & "*"
This searches for the word typed into the searchcontrol no matter where the word is in the title. It works great, but I can only type in one word at a time.
I'm a newbie (I know nothing in VBA & SQL but I'm learning) and I've a database of 10 tables. I want to make a query & form to search through these tables and display results(in a form & report) according to the search criteria.
I created Advanced search (Multi- Field) form and its work perfect but I want to add a combo box for search [Date Removed] and the options is "Active" and "Inactive".
The users may not enter [Date Removed] which mean its Null ( also which mean in my project company / Combo box its "Active" ).
In another hand, if users enter [Date Removed] which mean it's not Null ( also which mean in my project company / Combo box its "Inactive").
In short, if user chose "Active" it will search for nulls/empty column in [Date Removed] if user chose "Inactive" it will search for filled column in [Date Removed]
The code is attached:-
Private Function BuildFilter() As Variant Dim varWhere As Variant Dim tmp As String tmp = """" Const conJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#"
I'm trying to add a new functionality on my search form where the user can search for records that haven't been modified(based on the field DateModified) for certain amount of time.This is what I added in my search function but it's giving me "Invalid use of Null"
If Not IsNull(Me.txtInactiveTime) Then Dim LValue As Integer LValue = DateDiff("d", Me.DateModified, Date) Select Case Me.txtInactiveTime Case "> 1 month" strWhere = strWhere & "(LValue >= " 30 ") AND " Case "> 2 months" strWhere = strWhere & "(LValue >= " 60 ") AND " End Select End If
txtInactiveTime is a combo box where the user chooses the time during which the records haven't been modified.(i.e. 1 month, 2 months etc.)
I have a form and when it's opened you get 3 different search questions to answer or leave blank. My question is.... If a search parameter is entered but no results are found to match it, how do I create an error message telling the requestor "No Data Found"?
I wan't to create special query who show only special package. It must work that.
1. Client logg in. System rember his chose. varPrawa="Client" and varIDLogin=5
2. Client click at button "Show Your Package". At that moment query haven't got any criteria so it show every package but it must show only package with IDClient=varIDLogin so only package with IDClient=5 it is easy to create. I tell more it is still easy to join other person but only with varPrawa="Client" i want to create one query who must select by.
WHEN varPrawa="Client" then show only package with IDClient=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Kurier" then show only package with IDKurier=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Spedytor" then show only package with IDSpedytor=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Administrator" then show all package without varIDLogin criteria.
I create subraport who use chosen package in my list and display all special data using varaible but my problem is how to create query whose can select and display only package of that Client or Kurier or Spedytor.
At the end
When Client is online he can see only his packages special IDClient (any IDKurier, IDSpedytor) When Kurier is online he can see only his packages special IDKurier (any IDClient, IDSpedytor) When Spedytor is online he can see only his packages special IDSpedytor (any IDClient, IDKurier) When Administrator is on line he can see all packages (any IDClient, IDKurier, IDSpedytor)
I have a search form that uses a query to show results of a search, but everytime I press search everything comes up even though I have entered search parameters, even though my search requeries every time and the search used to work before I added new records today. Also when I press the query alone on the navigation pane it asks me for the parameters and then it actually works but it won't when I use my form.
Please help me if you can. We are in a state of panic right now in trying to figure this out and any help would be appreciated.
Basically I have tried many different angles and have not come up with a solution that works. I have spent 80+ hours trying to figure this out with no luck.
Here is what we need to do: We have a database that has data that needs to be printed on a 3"x6" sized tag. Now there are probably 5 or so different tags that need to be printed. What we need to happen is be able to provide a way to print out all the tags at the same time. The problem is I cannot seem to create one report that will generate all the tags correctly (I could create the code to do this in a form, but I can't get it to work in a report), and I don't know how I would combine multiple reports so that all the tags can be printed at once.
Do you have any ideas on how I can do something like this?
Hi all. I have a form that opens up another form when you click on a button. The button does more than just open the form, it does other checks. I want to wait until the opened form is closed to continue with the subroutine. Is this even possible in VBA? I was wondering if there was a frmFormName.IsOpen or some kind of flag that would tell me if a form is open or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sub open Checks things Checks things checks things
Opens form(frmDetails) Wait for form to close (THING I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IF POSSIBLE)
i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.
My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)
I am creating a database in Access 2010. It is a web database and will be uploaded/used on our Sharepoint site.
I have created a search form, called ContactSearch. It has multiple fields, but the first field, for an example, is FirstName. It then searches the query called ContactSearchQ to display the record.
In the criteria field for the query I have: Like "*" & [Forms]![ContactSearch]![FirstName] & "*"
It works fine...except when it comes to using it on the web database. I am sure there is a solution for creating a search form on a web database, but I have not found it yet.
I am running Access 2013. I have created a search form with about 10 different categories from a single table. I will only show 5 fields for this example The form is called FrmSearch with
Description CarNum SerialNum Category Condition
In the query, I have the criteria, Like "*" & [Forms]![FrmSearch]![description] & "*" and have this same criteria for all fields with the proper text field entry. (CarNum, serialnum, category, etc)
The problem I have is that I have over 200 items listed in the Description column but only 2 entries in the CarNum column. When I run the search with nothing in the FrmSearch, it should show all data but it only shows the 2 CarNum. If I put something in the Description, only the two items that show CarNum. I tried to use Is Null and Is Not Null but still doesn't work. I take out the "Like" criteria from the CarNum and it works. So, it seems that it does not pull up all the records because the CarNum has empty fields.
I have built a search form to feed information to a query. The form uses combo boxes tied to table values, and all have wild cards built into them so if the user leaves the combo box they get all the records. I also have to text boxes representing start date and end date. I would like to allow the user to leave these blank and get all there as well. I have been looking through my one Access book, as well as searched all over the internet, but I cant seem to find the way to do this. My filter criteria for the text based combo boxes are like this:
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![Company] & "*"
My filter criteria for the Start and End Dates looks like this:
Code: Between [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![StartDate] And [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![EndDate]+#11:59:59 PM#
In this case of the user leaves the date values blank, the query returns nothing. I would like to return all dates if that is the case. I am assuming it is my lack of knowledge of wild cards and how they work with date values.
I have made a database for work and is fully functional, but theres one thing I want to add but cant get my head around how to do it.
I have created a Form called 'Filtered Search', on the form it has multiple combo boxes for 'Auditors' 'Area' 'Status' and 2 text boxes for date range.
I want to be able to set what filters I want, and for the query to ignore any fields with no information selected/inputted (i.e. I want to see all records raised by "Mr Smith" (Auditor) that are still 'Active' (Status) in all areas at any time).
Names of items;
Table = 'Incidents' Form = 'Filtered Search' Report = 'Filtered Report' Auditor = 'Combo7' Status = 'Combo156' Area = 'Combo5' Date Range From = 'Text161' Date Range To = 'Text163'
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::
I am trying to get a wildcard search to work with a form.
I have a query, in which the criteria is:
Like "*" & [Enter a word] & "*"
That works fine. I enter a word, and I get the few records in which the word appears.But if I try to replace [Enter a word] with a word entered on a control on a form, it doesn't work - I get all the records. This is my code:
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 have three tables, tblPeople, tblAddresses and tblVehicles. I have a form called frmPeople that shows a single person record, and has subforms with the list of addresses and vehicles for that person (each record has several). I want to create a single search form with each of the fields in my tblPeople, tblAddresses and tblVehicle tables, and allow the user to type anything into any of the fields on the search form, and have the search form fetch records that match.
So far, I have the query built, and the tables all linked the right way (I think), and I have all the search fields coded. And it works GREAT... except for this one little issue: If I do a search, and I put "Smith" in the last name field, I will get several Smiths in my search result, one for each address and vehicle combination. In other words, if I have ONE Smith in the table, and two vehicles and two addresses for that Smith, the query results give me FOUR Smiths! One with Vehicle1 and Address1, one with Vehicle2 and Address1, one with Vehicle1 and Address2, and one with Vehicle2 and Address2.
What I would LIKE is to have ONE record in the query results, and that record shows me that one Smith. And if I then search for "Plymouth" in the VehicleType field, and I have Smith in the name field, I'll get ONE record, and it will be the one of Smith with his Plymouth (Vehicle2).
Here is how my query looks right now (this one ONLY has the last name and vehicle search function to save space), and this is the one that gives me multiple results (which I do NOT want, unless multiple PEOPLE match the search criteria):
Code: SELECT DISTINCTROW tblPeople.LastName, tblPeople.FirstName, tblPeople.PersonID, tblAddresses.Address, tblVehicles.Vehicle, tblVehicles.Plate, tblVehicles.VehicleYear FROM tblPeople LEFT JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.PersonID = tblAddresses.PersonID WHERE (((tblPeople.LastName) Like "*" & [NameField] & "*") AND ((tblVehicles.Vehicle) Like "*" & [VehicleField]));
I have a form that looks up office names and will automatically populate a field called office number based upon their selection in the combo box. I have a submit button on click event set up to run a query.
Now, here's where I am running into issues: In this query, I need to pull selected columns of information based upon a multivalue lookup field. This multivalue lookup field is joined with the table that the values populate from.
The form will only have one value stored in the txt box field, and I need to be able to search for all records containing that one value.
This is what I have for code:
SELECT FilePlan.FPName, FilePlan.Description, FilePlan.[File Code], FilePlan.GRS, FilePlan.Schedule FROM Offices INNER JOIN FilePlan ON Offices.[Office Number] = FilePlan.OfficeNumb.Value WHERE (((FilePlan.OfficeNumb.Value) Like "*" & [Forms]![RetCutOff]![txtOffNumb] & "*"));
Do I need to string multiple queries together to make this work, or is it just not possible?
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 am trying to create a query that takes values from a search form and provides records. I was having issues with getting results when some boxes on the form were left blank. I found a solution to that and it worked with a small number of fields. However when I make the full form query (about 8-10 fields) and run it says the query is too complex. I wrote the sql as I could not get designer to do what I wanted. Attached is the sql that works and that which is "too complex".
I have an unbound form (named frmReportSearch) with unbound text & combo boxes providing the criteria for a query (named qSeqStreets). The form / query utilize 4 optional fields as search criteria plus date from / to. The results are returned via a report (named rptSeqStreets). The whole operation worked perfectly, however I realized I needed to change one of the criterion to a multivalued field. The change in the table (named Tasks) worked perfectly. I used three checkboxes (named chkA, chkB and chkC) to allow the user to select any combination of the 3 choices, including none (to be treated as no filter on [fldShifts]).
The three options in the field (named fldShifts) are "A" "B" and "C". I am able to manually run the query from design view by typing in the criteria "A" Or "B"... "A" Or "B" Or "C"... and any combination of the three options in the criteria box and running the query. I am using the following code under the OK button's OnClick. The Code below has other items related to all the options .... I didn't want to give partial code so you may understand better:
Code: Private Sub btnOK_Click() Dim strShift As String Dim strA As String Dim strB As String Dim strC As String
[Code] .....
My problem is that the query criteria needs to be entered into the criteria box with quotes and separated by "Or" depending on if multiple checkboxes are selected.
I can get the results to show correctly in the textbox, however I imagine the query is adding an extra set of ""s to the string so rather than "A" Or "B" .. it is getting ""A" Or "B"". My query Sql and even design mode are pretty complex, so I wouldn't know how to use the sql in VBA without blowing some fuses.
Trying to run a query using criteria to populate the query by looking at information from a field on a form, if from is closed I need that criteria to look at the table and return all date in table.
