Search Through All Access Queries For Text In SQL String

Feb 2, 2012

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

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

[Code] ....

Replace New Lines After Search String With Corresponding Text With A Tab

Mar 25, 2014

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

How can I do this in access?

Queries :: String (via Non-visible Textbox) From Search Form As Criteria Using Checkboxes

Mar 11, 2014

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.

Queries :: Pull Text From String?

Apr 2, 2015

I have a text field in a Table and on a Query called "Notes" In that field that has data like below:

[04/02/2015:BD] Project is to be assessed by Solutions Planning
[03/27/2015:BD] Project prioritized
[03/14/15:BR] Entered to system

Im trying to find a way to pull just the most recent line of text, in this case

[04/02/2015:BD] Project is to be assessed by Solutions Planning

into the field next to "Notes" or wherever - an empty field in the query. I searched around, found some stuff and I was thinking of having the code look at the first "[" and count the length to the next "[" and pull out whats in between. Looks like the bracket causes issues in the module.

Queries :: Return Value In A Text Box On A Report If String Contains?

Mar 24, 2014

In my query, I have the week number and year arranged like this - "Y14-W11"

I want to return a value in a text box on a report if the string contains, for example, W11. In this textbox I've put the expression

Code:
=IIf([Y##-W##]="*" & "W11" & "*","2100000","BLAH")

But this just returns the falsepart no matter if the string contains W11 or not.

Queries :: Can't Evaluate Date In Text String

Apr 17, 2014

I'm working with a table of financial transactions. I need to know the date a record relating to cash received actually arrived in our bank, but the software doesn't allow the user to enter this, so I've asked them to enter it into a text reference field, e.g. 'Other Text XX 16/04/14', and then I've got a formula - CDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8)) - which takes the date from this reference.

This works fine, but it's really important I don't miss any of these records due to the date not being entered, so what I'm trying to make is a formula which will give me the date from the ref field as in the formula above if there is one, but if that formula gives an error (so the date has been missed out or incorrectly entered) then I want to take the date from another field, called [DateAdded] as a failsafe.

I can't work out a formula that won't give me an error, i've tried loads. First I tried :

iif(iserror(CDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8))),[DateAdded],CDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8)))

But that gives an error, and I think from looking at forums that Access evaluates both parts of an Iif function so it'll do that.

It seems like other people are saying that you need to use Nz, IsDate or IsNumeric or something along those lines instead of IsError to evaluate the field, but I can't get that to work as it's not a field, it's a portion of a text field.

This is my latest attempt:

Join Date: IIf(IsDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8)),[DateAdded],[Calc Date]),

where [Calc Date] is an expression field with CDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8)) in it, but there's the #Error again.

How can I use iif to pick either a date from a text string, or where that results in an error then another date field?

Queries :: Removing Text From String Using Replace Function And Wildcards

Apr 25, 2014

I have a list of consumables;

Syringe 50ml
Syringe 20ml
Syringe 5ml
Syringe Cap
White Needle

I want to remove only the number and the ml part from the list, so I would end up with;

Syringe
Syringe
Syringe
Syringe Cap
White Needle

If I use

PHP Code:

Replace([DrugNameVial],"50ml","") 

I get the desired result for the 50ml syringe size.

I have tried every possible combination of "**ml", "##ml", "Like [0-9]ml all with no success.

How this can be resolved without having to individual enter each syringe size "5ml", "20ml" etc

I can't even just take the text from the right till the first space as this would lead to problems with other consumables in the list.

Queries :: Search Query Using Multiple Combo And Text Boxes

Aug 13, 2013

I have a table with all information on it, that is input via various forms, I then have different queries pulling information from all information to run reports off. These all work fine, my problem is my 'Search Form' - below

I have created a query that finds information from 'all information' using

Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchAll F]![txtDateRasied] & "*"

This is working on all text boxes, It only half works on the combo box's when I use

Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchAll F]![combofailureanalysis] & "*"

If a selection is made in the combo box the query brings the correct results, however, if all the fields are left blank it should bring up every record, but it doesn't do this. I am certain it is the combo box's that are causing this anomoly as when I remove the combo box criteria it works perfectly again.

Queries :: Convert String Back To Hyperlink In Access Query From SQL Table?

Nov 10, 2014

I am in the process of building a new database in SQL to replace my MS Access database. However, I will continue to use the Access forms, queries, and reports. The new tables will house much of the same data. In multiple tables I have hyperlinks that were created and added in the original Access tables. To import these hyperlinks into the new SQL tables I have converted them to 'Long Text' before exporting, thus changing them into strings.

For example:

Hyperlink - Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) has been changed to:

Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010)#ServernameServerfolderDocumentationRea dy to GoOutlook TemplatesEmail - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010).oft#

The obvious issue that I am running into is that after the SQL database table has been linked to the Access database it still displays the entire string when I open the table. The form has a textbox and search button that is used as a search function. This runs a query that returns all "search results" for the desired information. Is there a way that the query can convert the string back into a hyperlink so that the query displays just Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) as a hyperlink and not the entire string?

Search A String...

Mar 25, 2006

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

Queries :: Search Multiple Tables In Access?

Jul 19, 2013

I have a database built in Access 2000. It consists of the following tables:

45 tables each containing the same fields - ID, Vehicle, Fit, Part No, Qty, Level, Higher Assembly.

1 table containing the fields - ID, Part Number, Description, Issue No.

The 45 tables are each for a different vehicle build of materials, whilst the single table contains the additional common data that each vehicle form pulls in when the build of materials part number is added.

I want to be able to undertake a search across the 45 vehicle tables to look for a specific part number that I enter in the search box, and then if any is found, for all those vehicle to be displayed, along with the part number, description and issue number from the single table.

Modules & VBA :: Database With Records - Search For Similar String

May 20, 2014

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.

Modules & VBA :: Edit A String Or Use Wildcard In Search Function

Jul 18, 2013

Access 2007

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()

Mar 24, 2014

I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):

1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts

I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:

Modules & VBA :: Insert CR / LF In Memo Field Based On Search String

Jan 16, 2014

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 srtSQL As String
