Search Function In Microsoft Access
Jan 12, 2006
Hi everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I will firstly give you the low down on the business that I am doing the database for. It is a Car Restoration Business, where we deal with vintage/classic/muscle cars and restore them to the former glory.
I do not know Microsoft Access very well, I have attached a file with what I think is a databae I could be wrong. The main function of this database is to search for suppliers for a specific car part for a specific car.
So if I want to find a doorhandle for a 1970 Ford Mustang, I need the suppliers pertaining to those criterias to come up.
How do I get this to happen?
Thankyou for your help
Jess

Hi Folks,
I have created a file sweeping program in Microsoft Access via VBA in a few modules. The program simply reads certain files in certain directories, and determines if, when, and where to copy those files based on certain user inputs.
One of the features I would like to add would be to upload the files that meet that criteria to a conventional FTP server requiring a username and password. However, the last few days of research all tells me that it is not possible to perform FTP functions in Microsoft Access or in VBA.
I am just wondering if that statement is really true? I figure the worse case is that windows has its own version of FTP.exe that you can execute in a DOS window ... would one be able to perhaps create a command line execution via VBA? Any simple ideas or is it not worth the trouble trying to FTP upload some files via Microsoft Access with VBA?
Thank you very much,
Joe

My main experience is with MySQL and PHP so I'm kindof stumbling around in the dark here. Heres my story:
We recieved a new server and migrating from (Windows Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Access 2000) to (Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, Access 2003) has been nothing but problems.
I have setup IIS to work with ASP, I've also setup a system DSN. The access file was copied over from the previous server. We're running Access 2003 and now I can't seem to get this ASP script to work.
When I try to upload a file to the script I get this error:
Line: 42
Char: 7
Error: HELP!!! Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid SQL statement expected 'DELETE','INSERT','PROCEDURE','SELECT', OR 'UPDATE'.
Code: 0
Url: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)
Here is the part of Connect.asp that errors:
Code:<script LANGUAGE="javascript"><!--var DSNString, TheDF, TheRS;//DSNString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C: hedata estdisbo.mdb;User Id=admin;Password=;";//DSNString = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C: hedata estdisbo.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pw d=;"DSNString = "DSN=testweb; UID=; PWD=";function public_ConToDB(){ TheDF = DP.CreateObject("RDSServer.DataFactory",this.text1.value);DC.DataSpace=DP;DC.Server = this.text1.value;DC.Connect = DSNString;//DC.Connect="d: hedatadisboweb.udl";}function public_GetRS(SQLCommand){ TheRS = TheDF.Query(DSNString,SQLCommand);DC.SourceRecordset=TheRS;return (TheRS);}function public_GetDC(){ return (DC);}//--></script>
Its included in a file called FileRead.htm here is the part that refers to the error lines:
Code: var TheFile, FileStrm;// Retrieved field namesvar M_ssn, M_inits, M_Lname, M_Fname, M_DSSN, M_ruc, M_paycode;var M_normamt, M_payamt, M_pgrp, M_poe, M_pltcd, Payrollnum, Payrolldate;// var Trash, FieldData, FieldNames;var TrashLineNum = 1;// Create the file Stream Object (ReadOnly)TheFile = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");FileStrm = TheFile.OpenTextFile(FName,1,false);// Setup the Database Connectionvar SQLCommand, TheRS, TheConnection, DSNString, Commands, MyDC;FieldNames = new Array("ssn","inits","lname","fname","dssn","ruc","cco", "payamt","normamt","notsureone","pgrp","poe", "pltcode","recstatus","paychgflg","paystatuscode", "payrollnum","payrolldate");// Connect the the DatabaseDataLib.ConToDB();MyDC = DataLib.GetDC();// Get Payroll NumberPString = prompt("Enter Payroll Number","025");Payrollnum = parseInt(PString,10);// Get Payroll DateDString = prompt("Enter Payroll Date","20000101");Payrolldate = DateLib.FromMil(DString);// Setup the Database Connectionvar NumRecs = 0;//MyTest = DataLib.GetRS("PaydayUpdate1");alert("About to cross into the CurExtract!!!");MyRS = DataLib.GetRS("SELECT * FROM CurExtract");
I set an alert after this line but it doesn't pop up.
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'll be checking this very frequently.
Sincerly,
Joseph Russell

I’m having problems trying to construct a database for my company. They need the database to enter information about certain insurance policies that our company has. We have a table setup and ready to go. I need to allow multiple users to add records to the database so I want to setup a Data Access Page to accomplish this. However, there’s a problem I’m still stuck on.
In the Data Access Page, I need the ability to search and display a record designated by the primary key field (policy number). I found code to do this, however when I click the button, input a known policy number at the prompt, and click ok, it displays Error: 3265 the item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal. Here’s the code from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010345491033.aspx
<!-- I took this out as i did not know what to do with it, it could be causing the problem
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=vbscript FOR=MSODSC EVENT=Current(oEventInfo)>
-->
<SCRIPT language=vbscript event=onclick for=Command0>
<!--
' Clone the recordset.
Dim rs
Set rs = MSODSC.DataPages(0).Recordset.Clone
On error resume next
' This line assumes that the value you are filtering on is an integer.
' If the search value is a string, use slightly different syntax.
' For example, "CustomerID = '" & CStr(InputBox("Please enter customer to find", "Find")) & "'"
' rs.find "ProductID=" & cLng(inputbox("Enter a ProductID","Find"))
rs.find "CustomerID = '" & CStr(InputBox("Please enter customer to find", "Find")) & "'"
' Custom error handling.
If (err.number <> 0) Then
Msgbox "Error: " & err.number & " " & err.description,,"Invalid Search"
Exit Sub
End If
' Check search results for success.
If (rs.bof) or (rs.eof) Then
Msgbox "No Product found",,"Search Done"
Exit Sub
End If
MSODSC.DataPages(0).Recordset.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark

Hello everyone,
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

I need a search function that will not just open files based on their names but also drill into the documents and search based on what's in it. The only way I can see now is to use the Window's search function (the one at the start button). Is it possible to call that function into access?how do I re-create the search style of the windows search bar for a specific folder? Something like streamreader

Whenever I search a table using Ctrl+F it always says access returned zero results, even though I am searching for stuff I know is there.
How do I make a search field that will return in a table form all the results.
(Software inventory database, so I need to be able to search by serial number, as well as peoples names that are using those serial numbers)

hi guys... i am currently working on a search form for my database.. here's
how my form looks like:
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...clientform.jpg
when the user will type in for example "ABC Company" in the "Search for" field and will choose "Company Name" in the "Search by" combo box, the database will look for all the "ABC Company" entries under the field of "Company Name" in a table. There will be a lot of category to search from such as Position Name, Company Name, Dealer name, Outlet Name, Employee Name and Employee ID..
the results should be shown in a continuous form...
i've already tried this code:
Code:SELECT " & cboSearchBy.Text & " FROM TABLENAME WHERE " & cboSearchBy.Text & " LIKE '*" & txtSearchFor.Text & "*'
but it didn't work...
does anyone has a sample SQL query or VBA code for this function? i've been searching for it, but unfortunately i wasn't able to find what i was looking for. thank you very much. all your replies would mean so much.
if you want, you can also check the actual ms access file:
http://www.gigafiles.co.uk/files/636...2006-09-27.zip
the name of the form is frmSearchEmployee...
thanks a lot... =)

Hello everyone,
I was trying to make a query in access that will search for approximately what the user types into a textfield. I can only make something that searches for EXACTLY what the user has typed into the text field, but I want a more versatile search query that includes wildcards etc. so that anything related to the search will also be found. I was trying something like this but I just cannot get it to work:
SELECT FirstName, LastName, City, Major
FROM Students
WHERE FirstName LIKE '" & FirstNameToolStripTextBox.Text & "* '
I am using Visual Basic 2005 . NET and Access database, but the query is being made through access.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you have

For a databse which I am going to create, I would like to have an authentication system which utilises the database users which I specify, however instaed of using a password the idea would be to use a fingerprint scanner to logon. T^his would be for an A - Level IT project and I would seriously like to know how to integrate biometric security into a database. If anyone knows how to do this please post CLEAR instruction possibly with some SCREENSHOTS if possible.

This query is in relation to an Access 97 database.
A problem that we are consistently having is that whenever people are using the database under different user names, it only allows one user at a time to use it. So basically if three of us are on it updating files or enquiring on client details, two of us are locked out leaving only one in. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Please consider the situation below:
There is a central server and there are many client PCs connected to the server. On each client PC, there is an access database file that will be frequently updated by the user of the PC.
What I want to do is to allow the user on each of the client PC to backup their database file to the central server;
At the server side, it is free to use any architecture(eg using file system or another database to store the file) to facilitate the backup purposes. One of simplest solution is to upload the entire database file to the central server everytime. However, the problem is the access database file on each client PC is quite big, hence it is better not to upload the entire file but only to upload the updated data to the central server.
Is there a way to synchronise the data with central server without upload the entire database file? What kind of architecture should built up in the central server if there is a way?
Any input is welcome:)

Hi there Access forum,
First up, a pre-emptive request to excuse me if I show my ignorance - I'm not really an Access user/developer, I'm a SCM person.
We have a team that develops Access dbs and they are looking to integrate better with ClearCase. At present, they use the UNIX client and transfer whole, binary Access dbs, then source-control the binary file. They would like to be able to integrate better - my understanding, from them, is that VSS will control individual tables/forms, etc. I assume this is because it integrates via the SCC interface.
I cannot find anything about the SCC interface in my Access tool (just part of the Office distribution handed out to all desktops here) apart from a reference to Office XP Developer.
Can anyone provide me with any more information (even if that is just to point me elsewhere)?
Using VSS is not an option, by the way - the SCM standards specify ClearCase or Subversion (which would access the SCC interface via the PushOK proxy).
Thanks in advance - Adam Cheney

Hi there, I am doing a project for my A level computing, and for my mum's financial advising.
I am to assume no knowledge of computing on her part, and so i cannot make it up to the end user to know how to mailmerge.
I was wondering if you could help.
I can have it in a query, form or table form, whichever is best for this, but i need to be able to make a button which exports a record into a MS word mailmerge. This is just to make a simple letterhead. I need a button that says " Write to client ", and once it is clicked it needs to open a letter addressed to them. This is my problem. I have noticed when the data is in a report, there is an export to MS Word button, which is very close to what i want as i could use that and get a good enough mailmerge, but is there a way to run this from a macro or using VB? I did VB last year for my computing project and so i understand a fair amount of it. I want to just make one word document, which will open as mailmerged with the clients data.
Please help if you can, I am sure it is possible as i can see you can mailmerge from access, and there is even a button to do it.... kind of, i just need to be able to make my own.
Thankyou so much for your help.

Greetings All,
I work for a College within my area and have recently been asked to create a database for storing and testing data. With mild experience, I believe I have done well so far but a co-worker asked me the other day if there was a way to create or modify the hotkeys in Access. I've tried researching this on the Net and only found lists of which hotkeys do what. If anyone knows whether or not adjusting hotkeys is doable, please let me know.
Thanks for your time and have a great day...
