Does anyone know of a way that I could search all of my queries and VBA Code for specific columns? We add and remove columns all the time and our reports and forms crash when we miss taking them all out. We have so many that it is very hard to do manually.
Thank for any help
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.
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] ....
I currently have a database with a few search forms. I recently attempted to add a box on one of my search forms to search 3 cells of a record for a key word. What happens is when I go to search, say for P0442, it does not bring up all of the records that contain that keyword in the 3 cells I have outlined. If I step down the code in the OR boxes of the query, it seems to work better but then for some reason my other search criteria , (Tracking number etc) does not work. I will upload the database for reference. I am currently working on the Search(View Only) and that is where you will find the query to work on.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi need to create a system that can search data using keyword.so i want to create search button that i will create it at form. currently i have 1 table and in that table i have 10 fields which are project_name, doc_ref_no, doc_title, volume, book_no, author, doc_status, box_barcode, filling_location, doc_availability.
i have create 2 forms, one form for user to add new record and another one is to search record. the user can search by enter project name, doc title, volume and box barcode. for project name and volume, i use combo box and for doc title and box barcode i'm using text box.
i want to create search function that can detect from user keyword and even user did not fill in all the form, the system still can search the record.
So basically, what I have is a bunch of words in one memo field, for example:
dog cat cowboy tree flower
To search it, this is the code I have now.
' Check for LIKE Last Name
If Me.txtLastName > "" Then
varWhere = varWhere & "[LastName] LIKE """ & Me.txtLastName & "*" * " AND "
End If
The only problem is what I search for needs to be "in order", for example, if I search for dog, I'll get the table. But, if I seach for tree, I won't because tree was not place first. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot!
My search form has, say, 5 search boxes. Eg.
Vee

I need to have all the boxes visible and searchable. BUT I only want to search one or two at a time. How do I do this?
I have a simple access search form , that's based on a query that fill parameters from the form textboxes, when the access form loads its keeps prompting for parameters value which looks ugly .. I want to open the form, displaying all the records in the table and filter when i click search ..
I have a data entry entry form, that i want to generate success message after successful insert in database. I have done it in the button event if no error happens, still if i left all fields blank and clicked save, it displays the message ..
I need to change that to display please fill the textboxes then click save , and display success message when the row is actually inserted ..

Hey guys,
I could really use some help here. I haven't used Access since High School and have only recently had to use it again so I'm a little out of practice. I've created a form and table and filled in all the details and basically what I want Access to do now is allow me to search the data I've entered, via a text search. So basically I would like to open up a form type in what I want to find, access searches for it and brings up all entries what match that specific text search.
Is this possible and if so which area should I be looking at to create this.
Thanks for your help.
Hi there,
I will need to create a way of searching through products in a bookstore by product name, Author or by ISBN. Right now, I have designed 3 seperate queries, but to get more marks in my coursework I would have to combine the 3 queries to allow the user to be able search the three fields in the follwoing way:
Search by: Product Name AND/OR Author AND/OR ISBN
in other words, the user could have the option of searching by either product name, author or ISBN OR they could search by each individual criteria, or they could use a combination of two (e.g. Product name and author).
Could someone please help as i gotta get this sorted
Thanks

I have a form that has 1 Text and 2 list boxes.
text box 1 = lstname (where user will put bunch of names line by line)
List box 1 = Txtfound ( will be displayed the names that exist in the db)
List box 2 = Txtnotfound ( will be shown the name that r not in db)
All i am looking to do is to display another information along with the name found in database. When it found a name in db, it should also pickup the Case assinged to it. The field name for that is LAN. So that when it displays the name in Txtfound, beside that name is should dispaly the LAN case number. My current code is able to display only the name, but can't get the case number.the current code I have:
Private Sub CmdSearch_Click()
Dim Values() As String
Dim MyLoop As Integer
LstName.SetFocus
Values = Split(LstName.Text, vbCrLf)

Hi,
Is there a way to search for queries that use specific criteria?
Let's say I have 60 queries in total, but only 35 of them use the "Province" field as criteria. The criteria is set to retrieve all records that are in Province AB, SK, ON.
Suddenly we need to also include Province MB to all of these 35 queries.
Is there a way to identify these 35 queries (all the queries use criteria in the "Province" field). These are the queries that would need to be modified to include "MB" as part of the criteria.
I hope my explanation is clear.
Thanks upfront for any suggestions!

I have created a simple Unbound search form based on a 'Bookings' table. There are 4 comboboxes that the user can choose to search on, 'Client_ID', 'BookingType', 'FundingArea' and 'ChargeTo'. I have created a query that uses the following criteria;
Like "*" & [Forms].[frmLBT_db_Tool].[cmbName] & "*"
Like "*" & [Forms].[frmLBT_db_Tool].[cmbBookingType] & "*"
Like "*" & [Forms].[frmLBT_db_Tool].[cmbFundingArea] & "*"
Like "*" & [Forms].[frmLBT_db_Tool].[cmbChargeTo] & "*"
Using this criteria any of the comboboxes can be left blank and the results will display the chosen combobox used, or if 2 comboboxes were used the results would be further filtered.
The problem I have is that if a name was chosen (cmbName - Client_ID) and the Client_ID was 2, then all Client_ID records which have a 2 in them are returned, 2, 12, 20-29,32,42,52 etc...
Is there a way to overcome this, or am I going about it all wrong?
I am using the quesy criteria "Like "*" & [Please Enter the subject (Or part of it)] & "*""
I was just wondering if there is any way to set this up so that the one prompt box searches 2 different fields.
I am creating a database in Access 2010. It is a web database and will be uploaded/used on our Sharepoint site.
I have created a search form, called ContactSearch. It has multiple fields, but the first field, for an example, is FirstName. It then searches the query called ContactSearchQ to display the record.
In the criteria field for the query I have:
Like "*" & [Forms]![ContactSearch]![FirstName] & "*"
It works fine...except when it comes to using it on the web database. I am sure there is a solution for creating a search form on a web database, but I have not found it yet.
I need to find out where the field called "R_SHIFT" is being referenced in all our MS Access queries. I just need the query name so I can go into the query and change the name from "R_SHIFT" to "SHIFT"

I have a query that contains a complete_date including time (this is automatically datestamped when the user presses a button)At the end of the day, I want to show how many records where processed that day but cannot figure out how to display records between 06:00am and 08:00pm on todays date.
Also, the same applies to selecting a range of dates (eg. the full week), How do I display the records that fall between Monday - Friday including the time.
I need to be able to print records for certain students showing their best and worst results for each exercise. Must be printed in portrait A4. Each student must be on a new page. I am trying to create a query which will find the results for studentID AA111 and DS1119. For each student:
- Find the best and worst RepsOrTime for each exercise
- Display studentID, StudentSurname, StudentForename, ExerciseID, Description, Best and worst RepsOrTime
- Name best records "best"
- Name worst records "worst"
Please see attached document.
I can find the result for one student id but when i try putting both student ids in it returns no result, also, I do not know how to rename best records best and worst records worst.For this i have two headings shown as RepsOrTime and it shows the max and min value for each exercise.
In criteria of a Query I have this SQL: Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
This SQL is to write in a textbox one parameter at a time to search in a table.I need to search for more than one parameter at a time and I have been trying to add to the SQL the operator OR or AND but does not work.
Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" OR Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" AND Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
How can I search for more than parameters at a time?
I have an events database with a description field which I would like to be able to search for multi criteria which would be determined by the user. For example, the user might want to search for all events which are Merchant Navy, Dieppe and Vimy related or they may want to search for only Veterans Week related events.
I've tried creating a form with text boxes that the user would put the criteria in and then basing the query on those text boxes using a like statement.My problem is that I don't know how many criteria the user will be using so I can have too many or too few text boxes. If too few, the user is not getting all of the records that they are looking for. If too many, the user ends up getting all the records in the database as the system uses the bank boxes to bring back all values, so basically all records.
is there anyway that I can have only one text box where users would enter in as many or as few crietia words seperated either by a , ; space etc., and the system would return all records which contain any of those words.
I have an Access database that links one form to one table, so a fairly simple database. The database will average 250k records. How do I query to pull up many (ex. 100) distinct records.
Example - I want to search in a field called 'debtornumber' and want to pull up lots of various account numbers (ex - 0458714 and 0587428 and 0578925 and....). I have hundreds of the individual items to query daily (that I can paste from Notepad or word) and need to pull up all items in the query at one time.
I have made a query to search for some items on a table. I want there to be a button on the search form that says 'search' and takes you to the corresponding page on the form. (The form has multiple pages in, all with different products on) Is this possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedCan we have two tables linked to one search query? I've some data that is confidential and woul like to have them in two different table. When I search for it using query form, only the relevant table results will be shown?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to MS Access. I am wanting to create a query that allows me to search for a computer by name.
I have two fields in the Query. Main user and Computer Name.
I would like it when you open the query it asks you to input and name then once inputted display that persons computer name.
I am unable to get multiple search output using the below code in queries, the search text is based on form :
Search form name : Find
Query name : Search
Table name : Sheet1
[forms]![find]![city]
The above works fine if it is only used in one of the fields, but as soon as I have it in multiple fields the output is null.
I am aware that i can used Like "*" code, but the thing I want to find records which are perfectly matching based on the form.
