Alright guys, I have a question. I have this form that serves as a search query. What happens is I have it set up to enter information in the text box in the form header and then have it update the detail section. It works just fine if I put exact information but I want to be able to search for say, "Sam" and have it produce "Same Person" and "Sam Hokins" or whatnot (just an example)
Here's my code for the command button:
Private Sub Find_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Find_Click
Dim LSQL As String
Dim LSearchQry As String
LSearchQry = SearchQry
LSQL = "select * from tblAddressBook"
LSQL = LSQL & " where ClientName LIKE '" & LSearchQry & "'"
Form_frmFindClient.RecordSource = LSQL
MsgBox "Results have been filtered with Client Names containing " & LSearchQry & "."
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.
I am completely new to this. I have a tape library and in the database I have a tape description. I want to create a search that will include every word in every tape description cell.
If someone wanted to find a tape with an elephant they would go to this query and type in the word elephant and every tape that has the word elephant in the description would appear.
I have form on my database that runs a search query. Basically what should happen is the user types in what they want to search in a text box and the result is displayed in a list box.
This currently works but only if the spelling of the search is entered 100% accurately. e.g. if im searching for Access, no results would be displayed if i just typed in 'acc' but if i typed in 'access' it would display a result.
I would like it so they could possibley type in the 1st 3 letters and the results would appear.
The problem appears to be that it is searching the letters of the word from last to first, rather than first to last.
My query criteria is:- Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_clientsearch]![search]
im making a database in access for my dad hes doing a Parts database for his company and ive got 5 fields in my table manufacturer, part number, description, location and stock quantity, my question is i want to search for a part number eg 001 and its finds it and shows me a the des, manu etc etc
I have a problem with my query, I can search for available ID's with a start & end data. But what I need is also to search on for how many people the ID is suppossed to be. And after that when you click on "boek bungalow" you go to the booking form. In this form the 'bungalow id, begin datum & eind datum' will fill in automatically. but what I need is the field 'aantal personen' to fill in automatically to. I hope my problem is understandable for you guys.
I've done some review on parts of my search. I think I have the code right for my MO search but every time i click my search button it says i canceled my previous operation. Not really sure what I coded wrong perhaps someone here knows. If someone can help me get just the MO part of the search program I'm making work i can backward engineer it for the whole program. Currently I've been referencing a program created by a "Jason M" which pbaldy refered me to. It's been quite helpful. So if someone could help me complete this search string I would be in your debt. The search is in the query form. I have it attachd here. Basically I just want it to display in the sub report the MO number I type in the search box and display those once I click search. Thanks for all your help guys and being patient with a lowly network admin!
I would like to make a search query using one table. I would like to have a search button so I can search on 4 of the fields on the table. Anyone knows? Thank you
On a form there are 5 fields with two tables. There are two tables, first table contains all the five columns. Second table contains three columns which are fixed.
First two fields are entered by user, third field is combo box getting the values from the second table, I select the value from combo box and in the next two text box values corresponding to combo box value from the table. After all values appear on the form in respective fields I want that when I click add button all values should go to first table.
I'm using a query to look up report criteria by type, response etc using a query to search value in a field ex [Reply]=[Forms]![Form1]![Cmbreply] Or [Forms]![Form1]![Cmbreply] Is Null
I'm trying to work a month look up the problem is the date is set July 25,2005 and my field is searching for the month July not the specific date. I'm stuck on how to look for the month only and ignore the day and year - any ideas
I hope someone can help me. I am using Access 2003 to create a database to keep a track of projects in my craft magazines.
I have a table that gives the magazine name, issue no, project name, page no and keywords. When I enter my data I will use various keywords to describe the project. For example, for a football card for a teenage boy I would use keywords such as football, boy and teenager.
What I need to be able to do is have a query based on this table that if I search for "football" it will pull up all records where I have used football as one of the keywords.
In my current query I can do this providing "football" is the only keyword I have used, but if I have used more than 1 keyword in my table then my query will not show any results.
Is there any way I can do this?
Hope you can understand what I am asking, and if someone can help, I would appreciate simple instructions as I am not very experienced with access
Cant seem to work this one out. I have quite a complex search form. The underlying query displays the results in a list box on the same form.
So far I have used the following expression for all the fields on my form (whether text or integer values): Like "*" & [Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![AssetName] & "*"
This appeared to work correctly. However, now my Asset Management System is storing a number of Equipment Type's. As one of the query criteria is Equipment Type ID it means that selecting PC (1) also displays the details for Printer (11), Scanner (12) etc......
I know why it does this (because these numbers start with a 1 and I am using a like expression). However I cannot seem to get it working.
The equipment type value is present in every record so I dont think I can use =FormValue or FormValue Is Null. I did try: =[Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![EquipmentType] Or Like "*" & [Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![EquipmentType] & "*"
but it seemed to skip the first parameter and still displayed printers etc. as before.
I would like to create a query where I can search my selected fields on a particular field. However I do not want to do this in the standard way. I would like the query to appear in a 'search engine' type format (like a form but with a search). Is this possible????
Hi, I would like to display records on a webpage and am unsure of the query statement and would like to seek some advise. I have a lists of contact numbers(home, mobile) and they are from various Sports groups and different teams. Captains from the different sports group will be able to view the details of their teammates of the respective sports they belong to. An example of what should be returned is shown in the attached file
Database Info: Surname GivenName Sports Team HomeNum MobileNum
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 my Query looking at multiple colums on a single table.
The table has approximately 2000 records.
I would like to create a Query that searches for criteria in one colum only. I have created a Query and providing i search for exactly what is written then it shows results, e.g. when i seach for Horse Furniture then i get many results but if i search for Horse i get no results?
I would like the search to be dynamic, so when the end user runs the query they are presented with a dialog box asking what they wish to search for (this i have no problems with) however i need to know how to get my query to be dynamic and provide results based upon single information.
is this possible and if so then how?
Thank you in advance for your help, i have been banging my head for a while on this one and am getting no where.
Hi; i designed a database it is controlling the stock and the test results but there is a problem when i was using the query because i entered the table data like "1111 Microsoft Access" "2222 Microsoft Excel" when i executed the query i must enter the exact data like "1111 Microsoft Access" but i wanna only use "1111" for executing the query.
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 would like to have a search box in which someone can type anything and it will search through a few tables to see if this word appears, and then return information from that record so I know who it belongs to. I have a query written that has all of the fields from all of the tables that I want the search to cover, but now I am having trouble connecting a button to the query so that it runs the query and puts the word as the "Like" criteria. I can make the button run the query, but I didn't know if I have to put Like * &[TextBoxName] & * in the criteria of each of the possible fields? I would appreciate your help with this. Thanks:)
I have a feeling this may be easier than I expect however I am at a standstill.
I have a Query that is called from an unbound list box when data is typed into one or all three unbound txtBoxes "txtLastName" ,"txtFirstName", and "txtVIN" the query populates the listbox almost as it should..
The purpose is to identify duplicate entries based on three critera, last name, first name and VIN with the VIN bieng an execption meaning that if the VIN does not match I still want the matched first and last names to remain in view..
When I open the form where the list and text boxes are all records show in the listbox and as I begin to type the last name all records that do not match that critera are dropped, the same goes for the first name this works great. Once I get to the VIN however if there is no match I loose all three and the listbox is empty.
Is there a way to maintain matched names in the list view eventhough there is no match for the VIN?
Below is the code I am using in the Query Design, it is the same for all three fields Lastname, FirstName and VIN.
Like "*" & [Forms]![frm NewOrderVINVerify]![VinToFindFen] & "*"
I require to perform a query that returns all the records between two particular dates, a 'from' date and a 'to' date, both values take from text boxes within a form and both in the following format:
i have one simple form linked to one table (clients) which does a very effective search (via text field and then i select the client i need from a list box) on 4 fields for me and then brings up the record i want. As i'm extending, my clients now or may have 1 or more projects associated with them. i have created a projects table and a projects data table which holds the necessary client and their 1 or more projects.
this now affects my search options. How do keep my form and search options as is, but also show the clients projects. when i select my client from the list box i want to show the 3 projects (from the Project Data Table) in another list box and all the other fields as normal in their text boxes. i have tried queries etc but always have the client coming up more than once if they are associated with more than 1 project. i also want to show the projects in a list box so i can select/click that project and open up the project folder. any help please
but im having some problems with the search on asp. the problem as u can see is the fact it has to be the exact item for the search to work, atm the query is
Select * From PLIST Where PLIST.DESC Like "::ID::"
but i need it to work on single words from teh database rather then the whole thing, anyone got any ideas if i can change that so it will pick up on words rather then the whole item?
