Query Linked To Form, Problems With Blank Search Fields
Mar 20, 2007
I have a query linked to some combo/txt boxes on a form so the user defines which categories he/she is looking for then presses button and query comes up with relevant results. This works fine if the user inputs information that is actually there, but if they leave it blank it goes all wrong.
The statements I have in the query are as follows:
[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![comboSupplier]
[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtPurchaseOrder]
etc.
I thought the solution may be along the lines of this but it does not work:
=if([Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtDate]=Null,[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtDate],"*")
basically i want to make it so the user does not have to enter criteria into evey box, thus if every search box is left blank it would show all records "*"

Right what im after sounds complicated but its quite simple.
I have a client database, in this database each client has 3 skill fields, i also have a form with a listbox and an unbound textboxes that are linked to the query so when the textbox is typed in the listbox updates.
Now ive sorted out the problem of not all fields showing it some of them are blank now the problem is.
When input text into one of the boxes the listupdates, now if theres text in two boxes. and theres data in one of each that matches it will show neither, because the query is looking for data that matches in both fields, now i need partial matches so it will give results of data in both fields.
not understanding fully what i mean?
i have zipped my db, if you open the db then open the form 'MainListRecTrades2nd' and fill in data in both primary and secondary trades that matches from the list you will see.

The solution i was thinking of would to have 1 textbox that searches all the fields and displays data from any of the fields in the list
Thanks for any help

I'm creating a search form to filter out data based on certain inputs. My VBA code looks like:
Code:
Private Sub Command18_Click()
On Error GoTo errorcatch
Me.Filter = "([Experiments.Log] Like ""*" & Me.Text21 & "*"") AND ([Expdate] Like ""*" & Me.Text22 & "*"") AND ([BaseSolution] Like ""*" & Me.Text24 & "*"") AND([AddCom] Like ""*" & Me.Text25 & "*"") AND ([Test] Like ""*" & Me.Text26 & "*"") AND ([Plan] Like ""*" & Me.Text23 & "*"")"
Me.FilterOn = True
Exit Sub
errorcatch:
MsgBox "Error #: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End Sub
However, the output does not include records where other fields are blank. I have read that I may need to use Is Null but am not sure how to.

Hi everyone...
I'm a high school student working on an Access project for a summer internship. I needed your assistance in writing a criteria for a select query.
Table1 has the following fields:
ID, First_Name, Last_Name, Org, Email, Status
Only "Email" is mandatory, ID is autonumber, the rest are optional.
I have to create a query that will allow users to search the table with any of the fields above. A user may search with only one field, e.g. all users where "org" = "YMCA"
Presently, I am using the similar criteria for all the fields:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![txt_FirstName] & "*"
The problem occurs when, for example a record exists with the following -
First_Name = Null or Blank
Last_Name = "Smith"
If you search for "Smith" in Last_Name, then the record does not show up, because First_Name in the record is blank.
How can I alter the criteria for it do search correctly?
I already tried:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![txt_FirstName] & "*" & ""
Thanks,
Gautam

I decided to link Excel files and all is running fine except when I run a query on the file I get about 1,041 blank rows before my data is displayed in the query's datasheet view or any report based upon this query... the data seems good but why the leading blank rows? The data in the linked Excel sheet does not look like this and another Excel file's query looks fine and they seem set up identically!

Hello,
I have been searching the forum for this scenario but could not find similar case, which is as follows:
I have a Search Form with many Text and Combo boxes, linked to search criteria in a query. There is also a sub-form showing the search results.
I am trying to replace one of the combo boxes on the form, with a List Box, so I can make multiple selections. For example instead of showing only "buy" transactions via the combo, I want to see both "buy" and "sell" transactions, which I believe could be done via a List Box.
For the combo box I have the following:
In the Field section I have:
[TransactionType]=[Forms]![frmSearchTransHist]![cboTransType] Or [Forms]![frmSearchTransHist]![cboTransType] Is Null
For Criteria I have - "True"
So, my question is what should I put on the query in order to make it work with a list box.
I also want to give credit here to Jon K who has an example of database with combos and texts - very helpful example!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have a table (Projects) with original projects and amended projects. All information regarding each project is inputted in the fields for original projects. Only limited fields are inputted in amended projects;new loan amounts or a new closing date may arise infrequently for amended projects. When there is a new closing date for an amended project, and it becomes part of a query all other fields are blank for that record, How do I populate the original project data into the blank fields of an amended project. I frequently have to create queries based on the fiscal year of closingdate field and I need to know the commitmentdate (field) and other dates that are in the original projects records. I hope this is not confusing thanks in advance. :confused:

Hey Guys,
This one could be a tough one.
I have a form that displays products information.
The products table has about 30 fields but not every field is used in every record.
Depending on the product I would like those fields that are blank not to appear on the form and then for the form to be reorganized so there are no odd spaces.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....
First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made.
There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.
When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)
The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)
Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):
TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE
SELECT qryTest2.CID
FROM qryTest2
GROUP BY qryTest2.CID
PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;
-----------
qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#]
GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In"))
ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;
Thanks for you time! :)

I have a simple dbase that lists individual staff members' qualifications, skills and hobbies.
One person may have 20 qualifications and another may have 1 or none.
I have a separate field for each qualification.
Is it possible to write a query that only returns fields that are not null in each record so that the subsequent report is not full of blanks? I know I can use Can grow - Can shrink on the report but I'd rather eliminate blanks via a query if I can.

Hi Have scoured the forum and have found people with a similar problem, but I just can't seem to get my head round this.
Basically I have a table with various fields, one of these fields is a sign off field where the user enters their name once the record has been reviewed.
I want to count all the records that do not have a name entered in this particular field thus are null/blank. I then want this figure to appear on a form thus representing the total number of records still to be reviewed.
I have tried doing this with various methods with no joy.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a [Order Central table] that compiles products from four different categories that employees can order from.
Employees using the database will select from four categories on buttons which opens up the order form EX: [Category 1 form].
They enter their order info on [Category 1 form] into a subform sourced from [Category 1 Table] called [Category 1 subform].
Is there a way that they could select the "Category 1" button, which would run a macro opening [Category 1 form] with the [Category 1 subform] having a where condition of 1=0 (or just so that the subform appears blank)?

Hi everyone :D
A friend just came to me with an Access related questions that has me curious. I think that I have seen what he is trying to do before but couldn't puzzle it out myself.
Here's the basics, he has two items on his form, the first is a drop down box and the second is a text box. The table that these two items are connected with has 3 fields (auto number, ARS, and description).
What he wants to do is link the two items on his form so that when an item is selected from the drop down box (from the ARS field) it will auto-fill the text box with the information from the description field of the same record.
Hopefully I explained this clearly. Can anyone out there be kind enough to provide direction on how to do this?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

I have a form with various text, date and combo controls. There is a button at the button that runs a macro (Close NB) at the bottom. What I'm trying to do is bring up a msgbox if certain fields are blank and not run the macro. I only want the macro to run if all the fields specified have data in them.
The fields are :
cmb_cliname
cmb_disease
cmb_projectType
cmb_ProposalStatus
The on click code is:
If (Me.cmb_cliname Is Null) Then
MsgBox "Please fill in the relevant details",
ElseIf (Me.cmb_Disease Is Null) Then
MsgBox "Please fill in the relevant details"
[Code] .....

I have a query where I group by EmpID, so duplicates do not show up. In this query I have two fields with no data. These fields are to be filled in after the query is run in a form. However, these fields are not editable due to the group by feature. I tried two unbound fields, which does allow me to type, but doesn't save the changes once I click out of the field. The field then reverts back to blank.

I have a database on a server which has worked fine for some years now. Today i tried to install a new FE and I needed to run the Linked Table wizard to connect to the BE.
When I opened the Linked Table option I could not view any of the links with the new FE or run the wizard. I kept the original FE and after checking this found the table was blank although it was still correctly linked.
I received a error report: 'Method 'List' object 'IFieldListWnd' failed and also that the wizard may be missing from the registry or disabled. Nothing is disabled and I have done a 'Compact & Repair' and still receive the problem.
Through searching this forum i have found that there is a Bug in Access 2003 & it related to an Accwiz.dll file which may not be registered on the PC's or may be an earlier version than the installed version of Access. Checking this has not sorted the problem if it in fact relates to this. Nothing has been reinstalled on the PC's as far as Office is concerned.
Any thoughts or guidance would be welcome.
Thank you.

I am really new to Access 2010 as I normally use SQL so im sure this is a very basic question. I have a form where I have linked some sql tables to a table in access so the data gets stored in SQL. The form consists of many fields the basic fields are Policy ID, Name, Office, Month, Dept etc. At the moment users have to fill this in using comboboxes and text boxes but I want to change this so when the user puts in the Policy ID all the other fields are populated ie in the office field it would have a sql query of or something that looksup the office from the policy id that is entered:
SELECT [Office] FROM DBO.DQ
WHERE [Policy_ID]='what is entered into the Policy ID field' and so on.
Also not sure if this works but as I have now linked the tables to SQL does this mean that when a user fills in the information into the form it will then update the SQL table or is this another issue?

When entering information into a blank form, I would like to be able to continue entering information to another additional blank form after my last entry. Is there a way to continue to a blank form after entering information into the previous blank form? I would just like to continue without having to close the entire form and then reopening another form.

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.
