Queries Search Help
Aug 1, 2007
Hey guys,
I could really use some help here. I haven't used Access since High School and have only recently had to use it again so I'm a little out of practice. I've created a form and table and filled in all the details and basically what I want Access to do now is allow me to search the data I've entered, via a text search. So basically I would like to open up a form type in what I want to find, access searches for it and brings up all entries what match that specific text search.
Is this possible and if so which area should I be looking at to create this.
Thanks for your help.

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 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.

Hi there,
I will need to create a way of searching through products in a bookstore by product name, Author or by ISBN. Right now, I have designed 3 seperate queries, but to get more marks in my coursework I would have to combine the 3 queries to allow the user to be able search the three fields in the follwoing way:
Search by: Product Name AND/OR Author AND/OR ISBN
in other words, the user could have the option of searching by either product name, author or ISBN OR they could search by each individual criteria, or they could use a combination of two (e.g. Product name and author).
Could someone please help as i gotta get this sorted
Thanks
Dan

Does anyone know of a way that I could search all of my queries and VBA Code for specific columns? We add and remove columns all the time and our reports and forms crash when we miss taking them all out. We have so many that it is very hard to do manually.
Thank for any help

I have a form that has 1 Text and 2 list boxes.
text box 1 = lstname (where user will put bunch of names line by line)
List box 1 = Txtfound ( will be displayed the names that exist in the db)
List box 2 = Txtnotfound ( will be shown the name that r not in db)
All i am looking to do is to display another information along with the name found in database. When it found a name in db, it should also pickup the Case assinged to it. The field name for that is LAN. So that when it displays the name in Txtfound, beside that name is should dispaly the LAN case number. My current code is able to display only the name, but can't get the case number.the current code I have:
Private Sub CmdSearch_Click()
Dim Values() As String
Dim MyLoop As Integer
LstName.SetFocus
Values = Split(LstName.Text, vbCrLf)
[code]....

Hi,
Is there a way to search for queries that use specific criteria?
Let's say I have 60 queries in total, but only 35 of them use the "Province" field as criteria. The criteria is set to retrieve all records that are in Province AB, SK, ON.
Suddenly we need to also include Province MB to all of these 35 queries.
Is there a way to identify these 35 queries (all the queries use criteria in the "Province" field). These are the queries that would need to be modified to include "MB" as part of the criteria.
I hope my explanation is clear.
Thanks upfront for any suggestions!

I have created a simple Unbound search form based on a 'Bookings' table. There are 4 comboboxes that the user can choose to search on, 'Client_ID', 'BookingType', 'FundingArea' and 'ChargeTo'. I have created a query that uses the following criteria;
Like "*" & [Forms].[frmLBT_db_Tool].[cmbName] & "*"
Like "*" & [Forms].[frmLBT_db_Tool].[cmbBookingType] & "*"
Like "*" & [Forms].[frmLBT_db_Tool].[cmbFundingArea] & "*"
Like "*" & [Forms].[frmLBT_db_Tool].[cmbChargeTo] & "*"
Using this criteria any of the comboboxes can be left blank and the results will display the chosen combobox used, or if 2 comboboxes were used the results would be further filtered.
The problem I have is that if a name was chosen (cmbName - Client_ID) and the Client_ID was 2, then all Client_ID records which have a 2 in them are returned, 2, 12, 20-29,32,42,52 etc...
Is there a way to overcome this, or am I going about it all wrong?

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 need to find out where the field called "R_SHIFT" is being referenced in all our MS Access queries. I just need the query name so I can go into the query and change the name from "R_SHIFT" to "SHIFT"
I was thinking there was a function for Modules to Find Field? I have never done any Modules before..

I have a query that contains a complete_date including time (this is automatically datestamped when the user presses a button)At the end of the day, I want to show how many records where processed that day but cannot figure out how to display records between 06:00am and 08:00pm on todays date.
Also, the same applies to selecting a range of dates (eg. the full week), How do I display the records that fall between Monday - Friday including the time.

In criteria of a Query I have this SQL: Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
This SQL is to write in a textbox one parameter at a time to search in a table.I need to search for more than one parameter at a time and I have been trying to add to the SQL the operator OR or AND but does not work.
Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" OR Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" AND Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
How can I search for more than parameters at a time?

I have an events database with a description field which I would like to be able to search for multi criteria which would be determined by the user. For example, the user might want to search for all events which are Merchant Navy, Dieppe and Vimy related or they may want to search for only Veterans Week related events.
I've tried creating a form with text boxes that the user would put the criteria in and then basing the query on those text boxes using a like statement.My problem is that I don't know how many criteria the user will be using so I can have too many or too few text boxes. If too few, the user is not getting all of the records that they are looking for. If too many, the user ends up getting all the records in the database as the system uses the bank boxes to bring back all values, so basically all records.
is there anyway that I can have only one text box where users would enter in as many or as few crietia words seperated either by a , ; space etc., and the system would return all records which contain any of those words.

I have an Access database that links one form to one table, so a fairly simple database. The database will average 250k records. How do I query to pull up many (ex. 100) distinct records.
Example - I want to search in a field called 'debtornumber' and want to pull up lots of various account numbers (ex - 0458714 and 0587428 and 0578925 and....). I have hundreds of the individual items to query daily (that I can paste from Notepad or word) and need to pull up all items in the query at one time.

I am unable to get multiple search output using the below code in queries, the search text is based on form :
Search form name : Find
Query name : Search
Table name : Sheet1
[forms]![find]![city]
The above works fine if it is only used in one of the fields, but as soon as I have it in multiple fields the output is null.
I am aware that i can used Like "*" code, but the thing I want to find records which are perfectly matching based on the form.

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 the following VBA code to search for a string
Code:
'Search by Phone
Private Sub CmdSearchPhones_Click()
Me.Refresh
strSQL = "SELECT Tbl_Contacts.ContactID, Tbl_Contacts.FName, Tbl_Contacts.LName, Tbl_Contacts.Address, Tbl_Contacts.City, Tbl_Contacts.State, Tbl_Contacts.Zip, Tbl_Contacts.HomePhone, Tbl_Contacts.WorkPhone,
[Code] .....
My issue is that this works 50/50, because phone numbers on the database are NOW being stored in this format (000) 000-0000 and previous DB phone numbers got stored as 0000000000. The above code finds previous DB phone numbers (even if we dont enter all 10 digits) without a problem but has issues with new phone numbers stored in the new format UNLESS I specify the search with (000) 000-0000 (but we want to be able to search without adding that and without typing all 10 digits - in case we forget part of the number we are looking for)
How can I tell my query to find both formats, with the (000) 000-0000 AND 0000000000 ....

I have a query using Access 2003 accessing invoice information from a table linked from our point of sale system. The query runs perfectly displaying all info including dates if there are no specific dates indicated in the criteria. If I select a date in the criteria field I get the message "the search key was not found in any record". I used Access 97 for years and had no problem with this query. I recently changed to Access 2003 because we upgraded all computers to Windows 7. Is the search criteria format different in 2003 vs 97?

I have 2 tables: Table A contains [ID] (and other columns) AND Table B contains [Request ID] (and other columns).
However, [Request ID] contains several number separated by comma. For example: 10, 15, 20 etc.
I created a query with parameter with : Like "*" & [ID] & "*" under [Request ID] criteria.
Here is my problem:
if [Request ID] = 44, 60 then it is returning [ID] 4 records (4, 6, 44, & 60). Is there a way to show only 2 records? 44 & 60?
