i have a search form with a list box. it is based on a query. it works fine for a different project but in this project i need to search for either a perfect match for an ID, or a 'like' match for description, or a like match for the customer.
Hey guys I have a question for you. I have two forms, "frmStatementDialog" and "frmStatements" The first form is meant to serve as a pop up that occurs when the frmStatements is open and I have a macro to do just that. The kicker is I have two unbound text boxes in that form for "Month" and "Year".
Now I want to be able to type in that form and hit "OK" and then once it does that it will find all the records in tblAccountsReceivable that have those two items in their respected fields will show up and be displayed in the continuous form, frmStatements. Another catch to this is I want it so that if I add records via this form, the Month and Year are already updated with the previous search information.
Questions that you have to help me? Please ask! This is starting to really frustrate me... I've tried nearly everything I could think of and right now I don't know the best way to explain where I am at so please just assume I'm starting from the beginning.
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.
- text box for user to enter EMPID, txtEMPID - LASTNAME
I would like to create a button to initiate a query to do the following:
- once the user enters a EMPID in the form, it will search in the TABLE under the EMPID field... - if the user enters an EMPID that is in the TABLE...display "Y" - if the user enters an EMPID that is NOT in the table...display "N" - a error message box needs to pop up if "Y" to alert the user that "the EMPID already exists and that duplicate entries are not allowed"
One of my main questions is how do I run a query based on the users input and search a table? would the following work in the query?
I currently have a database which contains various information for part returns. Among this information is contained a parts tracking number, VIN Number, and Date Code. I want to have a small dialogue box (Form) where a user can enter a tracking number, (or a date code or VIN if tracking number unavailable) to search for a record containing that tracking number. I have already created a replica of my new part entry form to view parts in read only mode only.how to create small form to search for record based off criteria then open the replica form i have made to that record?
I have a form which uses a parameter based query to present an individual senior doctor with a list of names for of individual juniors to provide an assessment report on. When the first form opens the user enters their RespondentID.
Once senior has decided which names to comment on I have another form which has the questions to be answered which is opened by clicking a button on the first form.
How can I pass a parameter from the first form to the second so that only the records relevant to that senior doctor are displayed? The underlying table has 60 senior doctors and 20 junior doctors. The senior doctor is identified by the field RespondentID in the first form. I've tried putting a WhereClause in the FormOpen command but I still get a dialogue box asking for the parameter RespondentID when the second form is opened.
Trying to filter a form based on a field with wildcard. My form has a txtCustFilter control where a customer's name can be entered in part or whole. The Customer's name is in PCCustomerName
This code works but, I'd like to make it case insensitive
Dim strFilter As String strFilter = "[PCCUSTOMERNAME] LIKE ""*" & Me.txtCustFilter & "*""" Me.Filter = strFilter Me.FilterOn = True
I have a parameter query for which the parameter is based on a form field entry (i wanted to avoid the dialog box popping up).
No problems with this....however, I want to create a chart based on the same query however, i get the following error message because it does not recognise the query parameter.
Error Message: The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognise '[Forms]![frmChooseDTDate]!DateOccured' as a valid field name or expression.
Hi, I'm trying to run a query through a form, that takes several parameters and then checks to see if any rooms are booked at a certain time and date, that satisfy these parameters.
On the form there is : Room - combo box Time - text box Date - text box Computers - check box Data projectos - check box OHPs - check box Desks - check box
I have this so far with the query. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to complete this successfully?
I have a Search Query based on a Form. It does not retrieve any columns from the table if any column is empty. Why? I thought the & "*" would find all records.
SELECT DISTINCT LITE.OWNER, LITE.LAMP_SUFF, LITE.LAMP_NUMBER, LITE.TOWN_CODE, LITE.ACCT_NO, LITE.STR_NAME, LITE.STR_DESC, LITE.WATTS_LITE, LITE.LUMENS FROM LITE WHERE (((LITE.OWNER) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![owner] & "*") AND ((LITE.LAMP_SUFF) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![lamp_suff] & "*") AND ((LITE.LAMP_NUMBER) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![lampno] & "*") AND ((LITE.TOWN_CODE) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![town] & "*") AND ((LITE.ACCT_NO) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![accountno] & "*") AND ((LITE.STR_NAME) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![strname] & "*") AND ((LITE.STR_DESC) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![location] & "*") AND ((LITE.WATTS_LITE) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![watts] & "*") AND ((LITE.LUMENS) Like [Forms]![frm_search]![lumens] & "*"));
I have a form with a listbox on, the listbox uses a query to populate it, which returns a list of client names. The idea is, when I enter the clients name in a text box, the list is narrowed, through use of the query.
This works fine, and always has - very pleased with it, the problem comes when I decide I want to be able to search on the account number as well - which it always throws errors about.
I am using the following query (posting the sql, hope that is OK)
SELECT tblSafeKeep_Clients.SafeKeepClientID, tblSafeKeep_Clients.Title, tblSafeKeep_Clients.Initials, tblSafeKeep_Clients.Surname, Format(tblSafeKeep_Clients.DesignationNumber,"000000") AS Expr1 FROM tblSafeKeep_Clients WHERE (((tblSafeKeep_Clients.Surname) Like "*" & [Forms]![frmSafeKeep_SelectClient]![txtSearchText] & "*")) OR (((tblSafeKeep_Clients.DesignationNumber)=[Forms]![frmSafeKeep_SelectClient]![txtSearchText]));
The problem is because I am only using ONE text box, but the surname is (obviously) text, and the account number is (obviously!) a number. SO - it throws a wobbler about it being too complex to evaluate when I try to search for a surname, trying to search for an account number works just fine.
having trouble using a text box on a form to set the search criteria for a particular field within a query.
Ideally i would like to enter the criteria in a textr box then click a button which sets the criteria and opens the query results in a report,
I have designed the query but cant which works if you go into the design and enter the criteria. the problem lies with getting the text box on teh form to set teh criteria.
If i use the expression builder to set the criteria to the same value of the "text" within the "text box" on said form the following happens,
If i open the query itself it opens a small window and displays the "expression" that i entered in the criteia box, above the data entry. the query does work this way but dont understand why the expression is displayed??? The text box on the form also becomes locked, not allowing data to be entered.
I have tried to link the query direct to the text box. also tried creating a table which has data entered via form then linking the query criteria to a field in the table.
Could some one point me in the right direction please
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'
Hi, I am a complete idiot with VB/SQL/*anything for that matter*
Made an unbound form to search and retrieve records from a query (parameter query) (for property listings)
I've got the following fields in my "Search_Form"
1) Project (combo box pulls data from projects table) 2) Size (from - to) 3) Rate (from - to) 4) Date (from - to) 5) Price (from - to)
I've set variables for each field .... VAR_sizeFROM....... VAR_sizeTO etc.
Now here's my problem.
1) How do use VB to send the user inputs from my "Search_Form" to "Search_Query". And is it possible for either of the search fields to be blank in the form?
2)How can I do the same for a report?
Please help, I've been stuck with this for some time..
I am having some difficulty putting togather a small database (attached).
Basically I want to be able to search for mutiple words and get the results
There are 3 main columns in the main table
1) Shop 2) Part Number 3) Part Type
Problem 1:I have created a lookup table (with check boxes) for ComboBoxes in a form but I do not know how to connect it so that when I click on the comobo box it gives me the all different (Shop numbers/part number/Part types) to select from.
Problem 2:Once I have made my selection I want to search and run query to show me the results. I know that once multiple items are selected in a combo box they are separated by commas/space, so the search must take that in account.
Other nice to have 1) If Shop 1 is selected then only the parts which were sold from shop 1 to appear in the Part number Box & visavera & same goes for Part type.
2) Ability to do a wildcard search so if I Enter "A" in part number I can see all the resealts
I have a form based on a query. I'd like to add a search box to the top to look up values and then populate the rest of the form. I can't do it with the combo box wizard because the relevant (third) option doesn't show up, I assume that's because the form is based on a query not a table.
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 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
I am attempting my first access database which tracks blood components in our medical facility. When a component is issued to a patient there is a button to push which links to a report that runs a query. The user must enter the unique key for the component at a promt, which ensures the report generated will be for that component only. My question is if there is a way to cpture and use that key automatically when pressing the button. If I need to clarify something, please let me know--I may not have the Access developer lingo down yet...
I have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.
Hi there i am building a search form and I want it to be able to display results from multiple criteria......Currently I am able to display results in a listbox, whenever the user types in a id number in a text box. So if a user types 63 in the ID text box the record with and ID of 63 will appear in the list box or it will wont if the record does not exist..... What i want to do is be able to search on multiple criteria. Sof if a user wants to search based on a name instead of a id number they woudl be able to. What I am struggling to grasp is how to invoke a OR in the criteria box. So that the list box will display results based on either the ID text box OR the name text box.
