Queries :: Performing Keyword Searches Of Text Field
Nov 16, 2014
I am trying to perform some keyword searches of a text field. My preferred option would be to hold all the keywords in a separate table and then use something like
SELECT * FROM Text Table, Keywords Table WHERE (((InStr[Text Table].[Text],[Keywords Table].[keywords])) > 0 ));
This works and returns anything which has the string from the keyword table, however I wanted to look for whole words only. I can do this in SQL using a regular expression along the lines of [!a-z] keyword [!a-z] which only finds the string where it has no letters directly either side of it.
What I would like to do is combine the two methods so I hold my keywords in a table and then use them with the reg ex to find whole words only.
I've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.
Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.
I have a form frmMember, it has a search button that performs a complex search of fields. after performing my search my [BaseDues] field shows #Name? BaseDues is set by a CBO in the field above.
It works correctly except after the search...
Here is the Code for the Search Button:
Private Sub cmdSearchForm_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearchForm_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "frmSearch"
I have a db with around 400 records. It contains user's basic information such as first name, last name, supervisor...
Problem is that one supervisor can be multiple users supervisors so they are showing up a lot each time I use the search tool. Is there a way to disable searches on the supervisor field?
I'm trying to add a search function the searches with ever letter I add to the string in the search box. if the string is not in the recordset then vbred the textbox.
Here's my code:
Private Sub txtGroupNr_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) Set RstRecSet = Nothing Set db = CurrentDb On Error Resume Next If IsNull(txtGroupNr) Or txtGroupNr = "" Then ' MsgBox "Please enter a Group Number to use as the search criteria", _
I have a db. I have created a search form which when you click the search button executes a query to find the required records. The query is currently outputting to printpreview of the query.
What i want to be able to do is have the option to select the correct record and then print it. The search can either be exact and return 1 record or use a wildcard and return a few records.
I have the report setup and working I just can't for the life of me figure out how to link everything.
I want to prompt the user to enter a merchant name, but want the results to return close matches.I know how to use the wildcard in the Criteria field of the query, but I want to use brackets.I know that "*Southwest*" Will return Southwest Airlines.So I tried *[Southwest Airlines]* and it treats the criteria like a text string.
I am designing a search query that will allow the user to look up a record in a database to view it. I have everything already set up, and most of it working properly.
The user can recall a database entry using 7 different criteria--Type, Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Warehouse, Bin, and Shelf. The Type and Warehouse entries on the database are drop-down values, the other 5 values are text entries.
So far, I have been able to get the look up query to pull up the desired records on the Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Bin, and Shelf criteria using
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search Form]![Customer] & "*" .
However, with Type and Warehouse criterion, the two that use drop-down boxes in the database, I have been unsuccessful in being able to call up any records using either the above partial or the more exact:
Code: =[Forms]![Search Form]![Type]
I did try to change Type to a textbox on the look up query, but that was similarly unsuccessful. On a side note, I must use drop-downs on the Warehouse field since I have another query that concatenates that value with a couple others.
How can I, without delving into VB coding unless absolutely necessary, format the lookup query so that it will read the values of the drop downs?
ok, i wanna make a query that will display the information from other queries containing the word "complete" in their title. All of these queries have the same columns names to them so they should fit together nicely but if someone adds a new query in the future with the word "complete" in the title i want this query to pick it up. Is this possible?
I currently import data into a table and it it has a text field which looks like this: 12,345.67 GBP...I need to use a query to make this a number field so that I can sum it's contents. I've managed to remove the 'GBP' part but can't seem to get rid of the comma?
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'm building a query from tables and there is a field i called it: Weight, that should contain the value from the Description field. The Description field is a text field and it always end with the format as --T, with -- as number, and it can be either 1 or 2 digits, no more.
For example: 2T, 48T, 2T, 36T
So, the whole Description field value is always like this: Bla bla bla 2T, OR: heheheheh 24T
The thing is before the --T, sometime people put in 1 space, 2 spaces or multiple spaces, for example:
This is a test [space]6T This is a difficult test [space][space] [space] [space] 52T This is an easy test [space] [space] [space] [space] [space] 40T I hate taking test [space] [space] 1T
So the field Weight should contain the value 6T, 52T, 40T, 1T only

Thanks
I have a table customers and Purchases. Customer table has the {name, lastname, tele, address, city ..etc.} and the Purchases table has the {name, sku, unitprice, qty, cost}
Is there a way to create a report that shows the total amount of purchases made by customer?
Also is there a way to round up values in reports such that if the value is 3.95 it says 4.00?
This is going to be a simple one for someone, but it is proving to be a pain for me. I have two collums in a table, one that is a value another is a quantity, i have another field that totals the two fields. This works fine and shows the total but it does not store the total into the database, how can i get it to do this.
In the Total field the control source is "=[Cost]*[Quantity]" i have tried to set it too TotalCost=[Cost]*[Quantity] but this gives me errors
I recently got a new job and am trying to learn access for it. I have two tables. Both of them have client id numbers. They are both supposed to have the same client id numbers. However, Table 1 has more client id numbers than Table 2. I want to do a match query that selects the client id numbers in Table 1 that do not have a corresponding match in Table 2. How would I go about doing this?
Also, I want to do a simple select query where I select the client id numbers in Table 1 whose first two numbers are "88." How would I do this in the query or SQL form.
Do you have any recommendations about the best way to learn Access for practical applications like this? I'll also need to get good at making Forms which seem fairly complicated.
now when I try the section performing data entry with SQL, I am at the point where I have typed the SQL statement:
INSERT INTO Employees(EmployeeNumber, [Last Name], Gender, HourlySalary) VALUES ('227947','Jameson','M',18.85);
It chokes on the "unknown variable" HourlySalary, I could find nothing wrong with it.I then deleted my HourlySalary and copied theirs directly from the tutorial. It still chokes on HourlySalary.Now I am not sure what to do since I have taken their script and copied it to the SQL window.
I am comparing the columns in two tables in a JOIN to see if there are differences. The columns, COL3 and COL4, are "Text" fields. They are declared as:
Field Size = 255 Default Value = "" (an empty string) Required = No Allow Zero Length = Yes Indexed = No
I use the SQL comparator <> in my test... so ...
Code: SELECT * FROM Table_A AS Tgt LEFT JOIN Table_B AS Src ON (Src.Col1 = Tgt.Col1 AND Src.Col2 = Tgt.Col2) WHERE Src.Col3 <> Tgt.Col3 OR Src.Col4 <> Tgt.Col4
I expected that where Src.Col3 was set to 0 (the string character zero) and Tgt.Col3 was set to the default of "" (a zero length string) that the query would return that row? It does not however? No doubt this is tied in with the old NULL string and Empty string chestnut?What is the best way to compare "text" fields in Access.
I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form. img1 img2 img3 img4..When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename.. what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename' ..i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName
[Event Procedure] Private Sub imagename_Click() Me.imagename = Me.FileName End Sub
I am trying to search for specific text in a field and returns its value. For instance some of string includes Sub, L2L, Temp, Model, or MTM and I would like a query to return these values if found.
Is there a function or query that I can split a field into different columns?
For example, I have First Name, Last Name, Address.
But I want to split the address field into Address1, Address2, Address3, Address4 as the initial Address field has a lot of characters with commas e.g. 11 London Road, Liketown, Likeshire, London.
So, I want to be Address1: 11 London Road, Address2: Liketown, Address3: Likeshire, Address4: London.
I thought that I can export the field using a simple query and then re-import it with using the text field into columns option, but it is time consuming.
I am writing an application for my personal use. I have 2 Access databases, one contains the data tables and the other has the forms, queries, reports, etc.
So far, I have been able to use the queries in the Row Source property of my form objects to accomplish what I want to do. Now I want to have a button that appends records to a table, the data in the table comes from several different controls on my form. After doing this the button should requery another control to display the new records added.
The OnClick event for the button allows me to use a Macro builder, Expression builder or Code builder. If I choose to use DAO in VBA code to append the records, do I have to define the database to create a database object to use even though the database is already open? Can I use a Macro to do this? Can a macro reference the data that is in the controls on my form?
how to do anything with it outside of tables and queries. I have been tasked with creating a form to do fairly basic things. Via tutorials I have managed to use the Expression Builder to do virtually everything I need except one thing.
I need to pull a value from row 2 in a specific column from a subform and subtract it from row 1 in the same column and subform leaving behind a + or - number for the user. Similarly, I need to do the same but subtracting the LAST ROW from row 1. If there is only one row at the time the operation is being performed, a value of No Data needs to be returned instead of a number.
