I wish to export a report to excel, but I wish to prompt the user to be able to choose where to save the file at. How can I have the "Save As" dialog box pop up, with the filter set to "*.xls"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a continuous Form [Letter Log - All] with "LetterNo" field as the primary key. What i want to do is click the "LetterNo" and a filtered pop up form with subform should appear based on what has been clicked. But i don't have luck doing that. The name of the main form is "LetterLog" and its subform control name is "LetterLogSub"
here is what i did.
Code:
Private Sub LetterNo_Click()
'DoCmd.OpenForm "LetterLogSub", acNormal, , "LetterNo = " & Me.LetterNo, acFormEdit, acDialog <-- this one works but without the subform
'DoCmd.OpenForm "LetterLog", acNormal, , "Forms!LetterLog!LeteterLogSub.Form.LetterNo = " & Me.LetterNo, acFormEdit, acDialog
'DoCmd.OpenForm "LetterLog", acNormal, "LetterNo", "me.LetterLogSub.Form!LetterNo = " & Me.LetterNo, acFormReadOnly, acDialog

Greetings all!
I am new to access and trying to build a database but having some real issues with the pop up search. Its a database with personal information so I created three forms
1. FrmMain = The initail navigation page which has just buttons and no records. When you click the cmdFind Resident button, it takes you to the second form...
2. FrmPop Up Resident with Record Source: Resident Name (from FrmResident Parking) . This form has 3 controls; 1textbox (Type Resident Name with Control Source: Resident Name from FrmResident Parking), 2 cmd button (OK and Cancel)
3. FrmResident Parking. This form is supposed to open the Resident Info based on the info entered in the 'Type resident txtbox in the pop up form but does not work.
I have been trying to get this work in Design view but no luck.
I created...
A macro: Find Resident with the following properties...
Form Name: Resident Parking
View: Form
Filter name: Left blank
Where condition: [Forms]![Resident Parking]![Resident Name] Like [Forms]![Pop up Resident]![Type Resident Name]
Data Mode: Left blank
Window Mode: Left blank
In summary what I want to acheive is that; when a person opens the database, they get the FrmMain and if they click find resident to main page, the Pop up form comes up and they type in a name then click ok. This then should open the record on a new form (Resident Parking).
I dont have any queries just one table.
I am not good at VB so any help especially in design view will be very much appreciated
I get this strange behavior in multiple forms I have. When I click on a field for the first time, I get a quick popup that immediatly disappear. It only get the popup when I enter fields I added for search purpose (a listbox which has a query as source, which I build with the value from another input field that the user type in).
I get the error when :
-I enter the input field for the first time
-I type in a value for the first time
-I select an element in the listbox
-Also when I open a form for the first time (happens only for the first opened form)
I don't even have time to see what it is in fact. I had to time a screenshot to see what it was.
So, I get an error like this : "Search referenced file : MSOUTL.OLB". No text in the msgbox, only that title.
[URL] .....
I checked google, found various reference to Outlook stuff. Problem is, I don't use any outlook stuff. I don't get any of those popup when I open the projet under Access 2013, but under Access 2010 I get them. I created the project under Access 2013, but users will use Access 2010.
I want to add a filter search on my forum which will look up load numbers based on the selection from 3 other combo boxes. I already have two combo boxes; Customer & Load. When the user selects a customer the Load combo box grabs all load numbers from the database with this customer name. I would like to add two more filters, Part Number, and Date. The only problem is I don’t know how to set my load combo box to only select values based on the other 3 combo boxes (Date, Customer, and Part #). To clarify my question, please take a look at my database example.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I using a cmbox for a search filter on a single form. The code that I'm using so far is....
Private Sub cmbCategory_AfterUpdate()
'Search filter for Category Combo box
Form_ClipsViewer.Form.Filter = "Category ='" & Me.cmbCategory & "'"
Form_ClipsViewer.Form.FilterOn = True
The code works great if there is a record for the category you choose, but if there isn't one it freezes up. I need to write some code that checks the records for this value before it executes. If there aren't any matches then it stops and brings up a msg box
Stating something like this
MsgBox "Sorry, there are no records for this Category", vbOKOnly, "Category Search"
Thanks,
Rich M.
Hi folks. I have started getting back into Access at work. It's been at least 3 or 4 years. The company I am building this db for is using '97.
I am trying to build a form with a search button and a text box to type a search string.
The form also has a subform which will display or filter the records based on the search criteria
I have tried to adapt "themightydude's" code to work, but i'm not getting anywhere...
I am truly trying to get back into the programming mindset, but have a "writer's block" at this moment.
I really want to understand how VB works. (& Sadly, I know it's one of the easiest languages to understand...)
here's what i have so far.
Private Sub Search_Click()
Dim GCriteria As String
If Len(cboSearchBy) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchBy) = True Then
MsgBox "You must select a field to search."
ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then
MsgBox "You must enter a search string."
Else
'Generate search criteria
GCriteria = cboSearchBy.Value & " LIKE '*" & txtSearchString & "*'"
'Filter frmCustomers based on search criteria
Form_GlobalSearch.GlobalSearchSub.Form.RecordSourc e = "select * from projects where " & GCriteria
Form_GlobalSearch.Caption = "projects (" & cboSearchBy.Value & " contains '*" & txtSearchString & "*')"
MsgBox "Results have been filtered."
End If
End Sub
I have also attached a picture of the search form and a copy of the db for reference.
Sorry, I know this code is probably WAY off. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your help!
ok i would like to create a very specific search form. the form has many fields but they all belong to one simple table.. Enquiries.
i know this table isnt normalised but this section is separate from the database and i need this certain filter feature on the enquiry form i have made.
a screen of the form can be found here.
http://bb.1asphost.com/antonyx6/enqform.jpg
the top 3 combos contain all the records for that particular field.. the first bit of info i need is how to alter the statement for the combo lists to ignore values with no entries..this is because not every stored enquiry will contain an enquirer's forname.. is this correct for my Forname combo....?
SELECT zEnquiries.Enquiry_ID, zEnquiries.Enq_Forname FROM zEnquiries WHERE zEnquiries.Enq_Forname is NOT NULL;
i will take things one step at a time.. so if i can clear this up first i will describe what i want to happen next if thats ok..
thank you.
I have been hunting around to find exactly what I need but cant seem to find it...
what I need is a way to do a string search within a particular field (surname) and then filter by that string?????
Any ideas or point me to the right thread will be much appreciated.
Hi,
I just want to create a search on my form where i input a date, and then press a command button that will jump to the first occurence of that date in the table. I don't want a filter, since that just excludes all the other data without that date. I tried playing around with FindRecord and GoToRecord, but to no avail, due to my limited knowledge. =P Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I currently have a search subform that will search for a specific record based on an ID or Name. However I do not want all the records to be filtered. I still want the user to be able to traverse through the other records.
Is there any way that I can disable the filtering?
thanks
I have a form in access where i need to select a record between two different dates. For example i have a "valid_from" and "valid_to" field. I have an unbound text box with short date format and calendar control inserted for users to select a date. This is named "drpdate".
I have a bunch of other filters also in the same form. Now my issue is that i have not been able to figure out how to put in a SQL statement which would give me the data which is between the "Valid_from" and "valid_to" fields based on the date selected in the unbound text box.
If the selected date does not meet the criteria, then it needs to be give the results from another table (which i have already done).
I have created a form for a table which contains ~600 movies and their name, genre, rating, director, year it was made, and length (min).I need to be able to enter numbers into the two Year boxes, and then it filters the movies in my database and only shows me records from between those two years. The years in my database are just in one column in the format of: XXXX e.g. 1996 etc..I've tried the code:
Code:
Private Sub Year2_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "[Year] BETWEEN" & Me.Year1 & "AND" & Me.Year2
Me.Filteron = True
Debug.Print "[Year] BETWEEN" & Me.Year1 & "AND" & Me.Year2
End Sub
Year1 and Year2 are the boxes Year: and To: respectively. [Year] just being the column name which contains all my years.When I try to run my query it shows me my records, but it shows me all of them! It doesn't filter it at all!
I have a column that has a bunch of keywords they are separated by comma... so for each row of that column it will have a few different keywords example: lake superior, river, mountain, lake wollongong
I know its a bit of a nono with databases to have columns with comma separated text.. well so i read somewhere anyway but the document i have been handed to work has hundreds of rows in this column with up to 14 keyword entries.
I have a form that searches through Item's names based on 2 keyword boxes.
Here's the criteria in my query:
Is Null Or Like "*" & [Forms]![frmItemView]![SearchPhrase1] & "*" And Like "*" & [Forms]![frmItemView]![SearchPhrase2] & "*"
This will show all records when both keywords are blank, and filter records using the 2 keywords otherwise.
I have a form with two text boxes and have set the correct values as outlined in Evans post. I then have the query set to run via a button. I run it but it will only give back records for the entry i have put in the 1st text box. This would work well for me otherwise... mine is like this:
Is NULL or Like "*" & [Forms]![Searchtable]![Key1] & "*" And Like "*" & [Forms]![Searchtable]![Key2] & "*"
Searchtable being my search form
key1 being my first text box entry
key2 being my second text box entry
I'm relatively new to MS Access (using MS Access 2013 but the db should work on 2010, too) and try to develop a database for an NGO I'm working in. I created almost all the tables (all that I need for now) and made the relationships.
However now I start to create forms and later reports for the actual user. The database will store information about clients and track consultations and assistance the NGO gives to them. There will be around 50.000 to 70.000 clients in the main table. Every client has a specific Individual ID and is member of a family which itself has another specific Group ID.
Now here is my problem: The User usually searches for the respective family by the Group ID. I implemented this with a search query using the ID number of a search text box. All done and no big problem.
But sometimes the ID number is not known so the user needs to search by name (First and Last Name). I use to different textboxes for this and it works in a similar way like the number search by query (Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_SearchIC]![txt_LName] & "*"). All still good However since most of the clients are actually from arabic speaking countries, converting the names into the Latin alphabet is bound to fail and produce a lot of misspellings. Therefore I added 2 more textboxes and 3 comboboxes for the user to give more information about the client and therefore make it easier to search for the person. I was able to produce a query which gives you the right result if you have ALL information at hand. However, this is not always the case.
1) But I cannot find a way to tell the query that if the a certain textbox or combobox is empty, it shall just "ignore" it and use the information at hand. I tried this in the query by adding in the criteria OR .... Is Null. This is alright for one or two textboxes but for the many I have, it seems to be too many different combinations for the criteria. It just worked with some fields but others always had to be filled in...
2) If no information is given at all, the database should inform the user that he needs to enter at least on field. If nothing is found the user should get a msgBox saying "No IC matches your criteria".
3) The results of the searches should be given out in another form where the user can pick the person from 1-to-many results.
I attached a sample database with sample data and reduced tables, fields, and entries ...
I wanted to build a dynamic search form using text box instead of the common combo box type.
I found an example that used the combo box and the searching portion of the code is as followed:
Code:
If Nz(Me.txtID, "") > "" Then
If Len(Nz(strFilter)) > 0 Then strFilter = strFilter & " And "
strFilter = strFilter & "CategoryID = '" & Me.txtID & "'"
bFilter = True
End If
How to insert (Like "*" & Me.txtID & "*") into the code to make the dynamic search using text box possible.
I'm trying to implement a macro to filter through accidents to see if my company has already been hired on a particular case.
In the first form the user enters the date, location, and last name of one of the drivers. Then they click a button which opens a new form as a datasheet with accidents that match ANY of the three controls. Evidently, I need a filter that contains some form of a series of OR operators.
However, whenever I try any variation of a button that opens the second form and then applies the filter, I always get no matches.
I have a Main form, and a subform which lists client details. On the Main form I have an unbound field. I want to be able to type a word into this unbound field and have it display all company names that have this word in them. ie. I type "Ltd" into the unbound field and it displays all companies with "Ltd" in the title.
I have created a query that does exactly this (Like ("*" & [Enter Word] & "*")), it displays a dialog box and I type in "Ltd" and it displays all relevant companies.
I have tried everything I know to make this work when I use the unbound field on the Main form, but I've had no luck.
My department and limited the users to only specific tables based on their need and role. However, users have expressed the need to view past work. I do not want to give them access to the table - I am thinking that there should be a way to create a report that shows the data, but how would I set up a search filter option so they can find the one record that they are looking for?

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

I am trying to provide the user a custom search feature. They want to enter a keyword or phrase and search 3 memo fields and filter the form base on the records found. they also want to be able to search the whole phrase or any part of the phrase.
I have a like expression for any part of the phrase but I when I set it up for whole phrase it doesn't work. Even if I run a simple query and use
For example: There's an acronym the user is looking for : ACA
If I set my query up like this: [field1] like "*ACA*" or [field2] like "*ACA*" or [field3] like "*ACA*"
it not only finds records with that acronym but it also finds records where that combination is found in a word, for instance vacate.
How can I set up my query to find the whole word?
I'm trying to hash two scripts I've found into 1 functioning filter, however I'm still relatively new to vba and can't figure out how to get this working.
I'm trying to use Allen Browne's Search Criteria:
with another snippete of code I found here:
Code:
'Purpose: This module illustrates how to create a search form, _
where the user can enter as many or few criteria as they wish, _
and results are shown one per line.
[Code]....
It's the date part I'm having trouble with, the rest of the search criteria work fine without the date, but I can't get it working when I try to modify and merge the date sections of each code.
Also I'm using a listbox for the "Yesterday";"Last 4 days";"Last 9 days" and not a combo box.
I have a continuous form based on table "INCOMES" that shows all the payments received, which mediums can be (field "PMNT_MEDIUM"):
- check
- transfer
- taxes
- cash
Table "INCOMES" is filled using another form, but in this particular form I just want to show "check", "transfer" and "cash" (not "taxes") so that I can track all the cash incomes.
Note: taxes are loaded because they appear in my invoices and I need them there to reach the invoice total amount.So my form has a search bar which allows me to search by PMNT_MEDIUM listing all "checks", all "cash" or all "transfer". I can also search by payment number (meaning: check number). To that end I have a "search" button that applies the filter. And I have another button that "cleans" the filtering by "putting a "" in the search-bar and then calling the "on click" of the search button".
What I need is, no matter if I click over the "search" or "clean" button, it NEVER shows me the "taxes".Search button, on click code:
If IsNumeric(Me.busq_chq_med) Then
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM_NUMB] =" & Me.SEARCH_BAR
Else
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'"
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*' or [INVOICE] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'"
End If
Me.FilterOn = True
Clean filter button, on click code:
[SEARCH_BAR] = ""
Call [Search button]_click
Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True
I have a form that is showing data from 1 table. That table has 12 different fields on it and I want to be able to filter based on selections I make in a combo box in the header of the form. The filter string must be dynamic enough to allow filtering based on 1 criteria selected, or multiple criteria selected. For example:
If I have values in filter fields 3, 5, and 9 I'd want the filter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field3 = field3filter.value AND field5 = field5filter.value AND field9 = field9filter.value"
If I have values in only field 7, I'd want th efilter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field7 = field7filter.value"
And so on and so on.
I have created some filters before but all of the different VBA syntaxes I'm using seem to come up short.
How can I create a "Filter Button" on a form and filter my records? I create a textbox on a form and a filter button on the right. Then I click the filter futton, the filter function will search/match the content in the box through the datasheet. And then the results of the filtering will be pop up on the split form datasheet.
