How to create a search BUTTON to give results on the listbox after a user typing the desired keywords to search.
As of now, the database has "On Change" property that whenever a key is pressed (from time to time; letter per letter) it automatically change. What I want is for the user to finish the word he/she wanted to search then theres a Search BUTTON to press in order to show the results.
Attached is the database...
And also, how to put Reset BUTTON - to reset the search box and ready for the user to type again.
I have successfully created a dynamic search form, which filters a listbox as the user is typing into a textbox.However, I am now trying to make the search more basic, which I cannot do. I want the listbox to be blank, and only display results where the number in the textbox matches one of the fields in the listbox.
Code:
Sub SearchFor() 'Create a string (text) variable Dim vSearchString As String 'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor vSearchString = SearchForProp.Text
So I created a search form which filters my results. Apparently I don't have enough posts to link to the source of the code though. The code is from this website, /forums/showthread.php?t=188663
I then wanted to allow users to double click a result in the listbox to take them to the form which contains details about that record, however the listbox doesn't point to the correct record.
-When nothing is specified in the search field, all records are shown in the listbox, but double clicking on the first record takes me to a form that has no information. Clicking the second record takes me to the Detail Form of the first record. -When information is put into the search field, the results are filtered and only a few display, however clicking the first result again takes me to a blank form while the second result takes me to the first record of the unfiltered list. There is no way to reach the Detail Form for the last result of the listbox. -I tried right clicking the results in the listbox and copy pasting the information. The first result gave me a "0", the second a "1", and so on and so forth. This was the same whether or not the information was filtered or not. -I tried switching to a combo box and got the same results.
Is it possible to have a macro button to pass query results to a listbox? I have a database where I have some fields with dates. What I need to do is to show a list of all cases that have a start date (and also the end date). So I will have 2 buttons, one that says "show started cases" and second one "show closed cases". If I press the first button, it will run a query and show only those cases that have a date filled in the started case field. I made a button that shows the results in a report, but I would like to have it show up in a listbox so I can double click it and go straight to the case.
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.
I have a query that pulls up information on employees when they receive warning notices. I would like the query to give me some type of warning (report, email, etc.) when an employee has three or more notices.
I have a form that has a subform on it. The main form shows a category of furniture and has custom navigation buttons and a search text box for asset numbers and command button that runs the search. The subform shows the asset numbers associated with that furniture category, sometimes there is only one asset number, in other cases there could be 60. There is a scroll bar to scroll through the asset numbers when there are too many to see in the initial window.
The buttons all work as they should except when I search for an asset number that is part of a category that has too many asset numbers to show in the main window. When this happens the "previous" and "next" navigation buttons do not take you to the previous or next record. All of the other buttons on the form work though - you can go to the first, or the last record, and you can search for a new asset.This is the code for the search:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAssetSearch_Click() Dim rs As Object If IsNull(Me.TextAsset) Or Me.TextAsset = "" Then MsgBox "Please type in an asset number to search for.", vbOKOnly Me.TextAsset.SetFocus
[code]....
I've also attached a picture of what I mean when I say there are more asset numbers than what the window shows.
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.
why the code below is not functioning properly. When I type in an acronym in the textbox, it keeps saying there is an error "Run-time error '3345': Unkown or invalid field reference 'ABO'." I do have ABO in the field.
The dysfunctional code:
Code: Private Sub btnFind_Click() If (TxtFind & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone rs.FindFirst "[Acronym] = " & TxtFind
[Code] .....
The red highlighted line is where the debugger leads me to. Something with identifying the field? I would like to enable the search procedure to search throughout the entire records rather than just a specific field. How may I write such a line or two?
i need to create a system that can search data using keyword.so i want to create search button that i will create it at form. currently i have 1 table and in that table i have 10 fields which are project_name, doc_ref_no, doc_title, volume, book_no, author, doc_status, box_barcode, filling_location, doc_availability.
i have create 2 forms, one form for user to add new record and another one is to search record. the user can search by enter project name, doc title, volume and box barcode. for project name and volume, i use combo box and for doc title and box barcode i'm using text box.
i want to create search function that can detect from user keyword and even user did not fill in all the form, the system still can search the record.
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.
This is probably failry simple if you know what you're doing, but I don't know what I'm doing....
I have a form (Purchase Orders) and on that form there is a search button to allow the user to search the customers table by customer name. When the user clicks the search button a search form opens and the search results (customer number, first name, last name) populate a list box named "lstCustInfo". How can I set the list box double click event to return the customer number, first name and last name to the Purchase Orders form? To make it even more complex I would like to return the data in two fields: customer number and LastName, FirstName. The problem with returning the results in two fields though is that I need to be able to break it into three to save it in the customers table because the table has a place for Customer Number, First Name and Last name.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a better way to do this than returning 2 fields and having to break it back into 3 to store?
How do I get my combo box selection to display related results in a list box? I have a many to many table structure for a contact list that relates many contacts to many costcenters. What I want is when the user selects a costcenter from the combobox the related contacts show in a list box.
I have a list of staff that have a conflict of interest with a particular entity. As a result, these staff are not allowed to interview these entities.
I have a query that matches all staff with their respective entities that they have a conflict of interest with (CoI) and that is functioning correctly.
When the form loads to add an interview, there is a listbox that pulls all the people who are not allowed to do an interview with that particular entity. That is also working correctly.
I have a subform, that is a continuous form, which will allow the user to add staff, one at a time, via a drop down box. These people are stored in their own table with a FK Id to the interview table. This also works correctly.
How to filter the combobox on the subform to exclude the people in the listbox.
Here is what I have tried, loosely based on what I have found on Google and researching here. I am 100% sure it is not working correctly, but what I am missing.
The query the listbox is based on has 3 colums, the ID, the Name, and the business contract number.
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() Dim strSource As String Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To Me.lstCoI.ListCount - 1
[Code] ....
In the immediate window, I get the following result:
SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name1 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name2 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name3 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name4 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name5 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name6
The issue is that the box is not filtering all the names out of the list it is built on. It is only filtering out the last name.
Obviously I need to save the results for comparison, but I am at a loss on how to do that.
I have a list box that is fed by a query. I have fields that are stored in the table as numbers (Type is Double and Standard Number with 3 decimal places).
In the tables I see the numbers 10.000 which is correct, in the query is see 10.000 again correct, however the list box on the form only shows 10.00?
A search form, to search into those tables (It searches by "User")
The search form contains a listbox that shows results (listPC)
And the following code:
Option Compare Database Dim strUserPC As String, strUserTel As String Dim db As DAO.Database, rsUserPC As DAO.Recordset ', rsUserTel As DAO.Recordset Private Sub txtSearch_LostFocus() strUserPC = "" strUserTel = ""
[Code] .....
It works, but I have one problem. It only shows telephones or desktop, not both. It deppends on which line inside UpdateList is first.
That example searches into 2 tables:
-Telephones -Desktops
And searches by "user".
I want to list all telephones and desktops that a user has assigned.
I use the follwing code to filter a report based on the listbox selection on a form. Below is the code I use, the problem it will error if the results have an apostrophe in the string.
Private Sub FilterDesc_Click() Dim strWhere As String Dim ctl As Control Dim varItem As Variant 'make sure a selection has been made If Me.ListCarrier.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then MsgBox "Must select at least 1 Carrier"
please can someone help me with a vb code to view search results in a subform such that double clicking search result on subform displays another form with details of the result. Heeeeeeelp. Thanks
I have a main form with a search command button in the header. This search facility looks for information in a subform. At the moment I can't seem to get it to work.
Main form called Building Subform called LineTypeSub Field its trying to search is called Line
Having an excruciatingly hard time seting up a txtBox and listBox to search records
ListBox, which contains an agency name should display all but filter out as user types in the textBox above. this listbox should allow a user to double-click to bring up record.
Will really appreciate the help! I have seen it being done on Access – and was wondering if anyone knows of a link or tip on setting this up!
I created a search form (using code from here) that searches serveral fields and displays the results in a listbox. I also created a clear button to clear the fields, including the listbox. I can search all day and it works fine, and the CLEAR button clears out the fields fine but once I have clicked the CLEAR button, I cannot search anymore. I don't get any results anymore (until I close and reopen). It must be something simple that I am overlooking so any hints would be appreciated. Here is my code (sorry it's long!):
Private Sub cmdClearForm_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdClearForm_Click
Dim I As Integer
' Cycle through the form's controls, testing for text, ' and clear each field. For I = 0 To Me.Count - 1 If TypeOf Me(I) Is TextBox Then Me(I) = "" ElseIf TypeOf Me(I) Is ListBox Then Me(I).RowSource = " " End If Next
End Sub Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearch_Click
Dim strSQL As String, strOrder As String, strWhere As String, strOrderChoice As String Dim db As DAO.Database 'Dim qryDef As QueryDef Set db = CurrentDb()
If Not IsNull(Me.txtMacAddr1) Then strWhere = strWhere & "(tblAsset.MacAddr1) like '*" & Me.txtMacAddr1 & "*' and " strOrderChoice = "tblAsset.MacAddr1" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtMacAddr1) Then strWhere = strWhere & "(tblAsset.MacAddr2) like '*" & Me.txtMacAddr1 & "*' and " strOrderChoice = "tblAssest.MacAddr2" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtSerialNum) Then strWhere = strWhere & "(tblAsset.SerialNum) like '*" & Me.txtSerialNum & "*' and " strOrderChoice = "tblAsset.SerialNum" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtIPAddress) Then strWhere = strWhere & "(tblIPAddresses.IPAddress) like '*" & Me.txtIPAddress & "*' and " strOrderChoice = "tblIPAddresses.IPAddress" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtHostName) Then strWhere = strWhere & "(tblIPAddresses.HostName) like '*" & Me.txtHostName & "*' and " strOrderChoice = "tblIPAddresses.HostName" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtJackNumber) Then strWhere = strWhere & "(tblLocation.JackNumber) like '*" & Me.txtJackNumber & "*' and " strOrderChoice = "tblLocation.JackNumber" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCircuitID) Then strWhere = strWhere & "(tblLocation.CircuitID) like '*" & Me.txtCircuitID & "*' and " strOrderChoice = "tblLocaton.CircuitID" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtBuilding) Then strWhere = strWhere & "(tblLocation.Building) like '*" & Me.txtBuilding & "*' and " strOrderChoice = "tblLocation.Building" End If
I have a wild card search query (Like "*" & [Forms]![search]![Text0] & "*") that works very well. I want to be able to have the phrase that user types in highlighted when it returns the search results on a form. I found the following thread that asks the same question using Conditional formating, but the suggested answer doesn't work. Any ideas?
I made a form that lets users search for records in a database and displays them in another form. In that form I've made 3 buttons to let users narrow down the results to show only certain items within the search results.
Now, 2 of the buttons show specific items and the third one toggles the form to display all the records. So lets say I'm filtering records by whether or not they contain the words "car" and "truck." If a record has "car" but not truck and I click the button to sort by "truck" then the search result goes blank, which is ok. But if I click "car" or "show all" to display everything again then the search result stays blank.
This doesn't happen with records that contain both "car" and "truck."
For every button I have something like this: DoCmd.OpenForm "AdminSearchResults", , "SOW", "VendName = '" & VendName & "'", , , "'VendName'"
I know my explanation may suck, but if anyone can help me, that would be great, lol
