I'm using a search string to filter a continuous form. In an attempt to duplicate "Google", I'd like to use a single search field for multiple criteria.
Is there a way to use the space bar as an "OR" event in my search string?
example: my fat head
would look like: "My" OR "Fat" OR "Head"
I presently use code which strings together multiple search fields with an AND. Here's what I've been using:
Dim strWhere As String
Dim lngLen As Long
If Not IsNull(Me.txtLocation) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Location] Like ""*" & Me.txtLocation & "*"") AND "
End IF
If lngLen <= 0 Then
strWhere = Left$(strWhere, lngLen)
Forms!frm_SearchSortEvents.filter = strWhere
Forms!frm_SearchSortEvents.FilterOn = True
End If
Access 2000. I have table of many hundreds of records. One of th fields of text looks like this: XXXXXXXXXXXX and I want it to look like this: XXX XXX XXX XXX by adding the spaces. Would someone please show me how to write the function or code to add the spaces to the text as shown : Thanks :o
I've built a macro with wildcards that replaces multiple spaces of varying numbers after perods, commas, and before and after numbers. Now I want to add a search for the same before and after en dashes and hyphens. (Pretty soon I'll have Word streamling a lot of documents I edit!)
I'm trying to create a query that searches the string in a field, for a substring that the user specifies when the query is run. This is the SQL code:
SELECT tblStatement.Date, tblStatement.[Payment Type], tblStatement.Details, tblStatement.[Paid Out], tblStatement.[Paid In] FROM tblStatement WHERE (((tblStatement.Details) Like "**")) ORDER BY tblStatement.Date;
between those two asterixes on the WHERE line, I'd like a string that the user has been prompted for. I've tried this:
WHERE (((tblStatement.Details) Like "*[Enter a String]*"))
But that fails to work, I guess because its in quotations. If I simply had Like [Enter a String], then I get the prompt, but I'll need to enter a string which exactly matches what I am looking for. In other words, I need a query which will search say, "abcdefg" for the user defined input: "abc", which will return that result. I just dont know how to get this to work :s
I have a table containing names. Unfortunately, the first and middle name are in the same field, and not all have middle names. I need to separate them out in a report. Is it possible to search the field and break at the first space?
Hi, I have a command button that opens a pdf file. However i will be distributing the database as a runtime package and need to account for people having different versions of adobe reader so need to search for the filepath string where Acord32.exe is found. This is the code I have but I am stuck! Ay help aprpeciated!
Private Sub Command4_Click()
Dim stAppName As String Dim stPathName As String Dim fs As Object
Set fs = Application.FileSearch With fs .LookIn = "C:Program Files" .SearchSubFolders = True .FileName = "AcroRd32.exe" .Execute ????? stAppName = .FoundFiles Set fs = Nothing End With
'specify path name for version of adobe acrord32.exe 'stAppName = "C:Program FilesAdobeReader 8.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe " stPathName = GetIniSetting("C:WINDOWSSSI_DL3_PROGRS.ini", "DIR", "REPORT_FILELOCATION") & "HOOF.pdf" Shell stAppName & stPathName, vbMaximizedFocus
I need to find a way to search through all of the queries in my Access 2007 database to change the names of more than a few variables. There are close to 900 queries I need to search through many of which may use the variables as criteria, so if I miss even 1 instance I might screw myself completely.
I found this post and it tells me exactly what I need to do. Only problem is the post was written in 2002, and I've followed the below instructions only to have it not work.
As a contractor working predominantly on databases I haven't developed, it can be a daunting task trying to find references to tables, fields or functions within a list of several hundred queries.
The following code is attached to a command button on a simple form listing all queries in the database. The record source for the form is
SELECT DateCreate, Name FROM MSysobjects WHERE Type=5 ORDER BY DateCreate DESC
There is a text box where the user enters the text to search for. The code builds a table containing the SQL string of every query, then searches for the required text, and displays those that match.
Your form also needs a procedure the set the record source back to the default.
There are off-the-shelf applications such as Speed Ferret which perform this sort of function, however some employers are too cheap to purchase them!
Code: sub cmdFilter_Click() Dim db As Database Dim rs As Recordset Dim rsFilter As Recordset Dim tdf As TableDef Dim strSQL As String Dim strQdf As String
I need to loop through text files and replace the new lines following the from, to, copy and subject fields with tabs and place the associated text on the same line as the from, to, copy and subject fields.
I start out with this. See below.
From:
ABC COrp@abc.com To: XYZ Inc.@xyz.com Copy:
Me@abc.com; Myself@abc.com; Irene@xyz.com
Subject:
NOthing much
I need it to be like this.
From:ABC COrp@abc.com
To:XYZ Inc.@xyz.com Copy:Me@abc.com; Myself@abc.com; Irene@xyz.com Subject:NOthing much
I am trying to write some code to search for similar strings. I am creating a database with records that all contain street addresses. These addresses may have more than one record attached to it, and we would like for folders to be created containing the records with similar street addresses. Problem is, all the existing records are from an excel spreadsheet that did not contain any data validation, so there are several instances of:
123 Street 123 st 123 street job 1 123 st job 2 etc....
So I am trying to write code to prevent this from happening in the future, by searching the database for a similar street address and asking the user if this is the address they are trying to enter. I have been trying to do this with the DLookUp function, as such:
Private Sub ProjectName_AfterUpdate() Dim stLink, pName As String pName = Me.ProjectName stLink = DLookup("[ProjectName]", "tblMaster", "[ProjectName] LIKE '" & pName & "%'") If IsNull(stLink) Or stLink = "" Then
[Code] ....
I have worded the stLink line different ways, and have used (*) instead of (%) but nothing is working. The CODE is working, as in no errors, but it is not finding a similar project that I know is present.
I can't figure out how to replace a period that is in the middle of a string and end up with 10 digits. For example 55.5555 would be 5500005555. I can use replace() but the tricky part is I have to end up with 10 digits.
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is - when a user enters 55.5555, 555.5, 5.5 or any variation they will be able to find the corresponding record. So a wildcard for the search or the replacement of the "." with enough zeros for 10 digits.
Here is what I'm using now - i making them enter the full 10 digit number but would like to give them the ability to use the period in place of the zeros.
Function Search() Dim lssql As String Dim lsSn As Recordset Dim db As Database Dim lsMessage As String Dim sMsg As String Dim vRetVal As Variant Set db = CurrentDb()
I import a CSV field which has not preserved the CR/LF when it was exported from BCM Remedy. There is no setting for that. The memo field prints on my report like this:
A custom solution would be developed, that once implemented, could become the standard product in similar situation. Normally would assign to Network Engineering, but will work with Ray and the IPT Team to cost out the solution and get approval to proceed. 2012/05/24 10:44:28 AM PCOLLINS Sent to Ray Massie for review to determine if a solution needs to be proposed, or if they can wait for the National IPT solution to be ready in 2013.
I want to add VBA code that inserts a CR/LF in the memo field before all but the first occurance of a string that looks like a date, the first occurance doesn't need it. I will do it right after I import the CSV file into the table, so it happens only once, and it always prints and displays the CR/LF.
The memo field is called "NBS Update" and the table is called "CCRR Remedy Data"Here is what I have, but don't actually know what to put in to find the date and add a CR/LF:
Code: Dim db As DAO.Database
Code: Dim db As DAO.Recordset Dim srtSQL As String
I have an unbound form (named frmReportSearch) with unbound text & combo boxes providing the criteria for a query (named qSeqStreets). The form / query utilize 4 optional fields as search criteria plus date from / to. The results are returned via a report (named rptSeqStreets). The whole operation worked perfectly, however I realized I needed to change one of the criterion to a multivalued field. The change in the table (named Tasks) worked perfectly. I used three checkboxes (named chkA, chkB and chkC) to allow the user to select any combination of the 3 choices, including none (to be treated as no filter on [fldShifts]).
The three options in the field (named fldShifts) are "A" "B" and "C". I am able to manually run the query from design view by typing in the criteria "A" Or "B"... "A" Or "B" Or "C"... and any combination of the three options in the criteria box and running the query. I am using the following code under the OK button's OnClick. The Code below has other items related to all the options .... I didn't want to give partial code so you may understand better:
Code: Private Sub btnOK_Click() Dim strShift As String Dim strA As String Dim strB As String Dim strC As String
[Code] .....
My problem is that the query criteria needs to be entered into the criteria box with quotes and separated by "Or" depending on if multiple checkboxes are selected.
I can get the results to show correctly in the textbox, however I imagine the query is adding an extra set of ""s to the string so rather than "A" Or "B" .. it is getting ""A" Or "B"". My query Sql and even design mode are pretty complex, so I wouldn't know how to use the sql in VBA without blowing some fuses.
I'm trying to search a for string within a subform to find information stored on the mainform to which the particular subform belongs.
The problem is that the subform is generated from a query which uses a number from the main form to generate.
So the subform record is only generated when the correct mainform record associated with it is loaded.
Now to solve my problem I've made a new query that brings up ALL the results that could be generated by the main form and from that I can search to find my search term I'm after and read off the ID number to tie it back to the mainform.
But all of this is done manually, I want a way to do all this using VBA in a way that the user can't edit any records as they are doing it.
'SQLTable "Resolutions Per Year", "SELECT ResName, COUNT(ResName) AS Total FROM Stats LEFT JOIN Resolutions ON (Stats.UserID = Resolutions.UserID AND Stats.ResID=Resolutions.ResID) WHERE Stats.UserId = '"&login&"' AND Date LIKE '%sYear%' GROUP BY Stats.UserID, ResName ORDER BY COUNT(ResName) DESC"
sYear is a variable example sYear = 2003,2004,2005....
This does not work. Is there anyway to assign the search string to be a variable?
I was looking for some help. I am trying to setup a table with a field for web address. People are entering www.website.com etc however I need them to make sure it starts with http:// Is their any way I can put validation on the field to make sure that this is entered? Or maybe I could use an input mask?
I have a table w/field set as text that I don't want users to enter a "space" into, how would I stop this? I suspect " " in the field validation field? Does this sould correct? What does everyone else use?
Hi, I have a text box in a from for data entry, how do I disable a space. For example I don't want the user to have a space between charaters or before and after a charater. Thanks.
As part of an extraction program I'm making, I've got a table (lets call it TABLE1) with values that have trailing spaces e.g. "ENGINEERING ", "LOGISTICS ", etc....
This has been set up as such to match the values that exist in a read only table I am linking to from another database.
I have used a query of TABLE1 as a row source for a combo box. When the values are selected in the combo box the trailing spaces are lost.
i want to replace spaces in my query, but there are a few hard parts in it. I dont always know how many spaces. en second, the spaces that need to be replaced are after the first character. The rest needs to be removed.
i have: ----1----1----2
the "-" are spaces!! and i want it to show 1.1.2
this is what i tried replace([MinutesID];" ";".") & " - " & [minutesTitle]
Hello, I have the following SQL query that runs perfectly. Now I need to put some blank spaces in between for the first expresion (EXPR1). At the moment, as you can see, brings me the 4 fields together.
I have tried using + ' ' + and + " " + but it won't let me as it says that the syntax is Incorrect. What should I use to get spaces? Thank you!
