Searching Fields
Jul 24, 2006
Hi,
I have a basic form which currently displays different information such as name, date, country etc.
At the moment if I type anything into the fields it edits the data (allow edits is on).
Is it possible that if can type in a name and it will find the pieces of work by that named person rather than edit the field? At the same time I might want to search by name and date.
Currently I have a listbox that lists all the names and when selected it requeries that data and lists all records just by that name. I am wanting to also search by the fields.
Can anyone help?

Subject: Searching all fields in a table
Hi, All,
I have to send an Access table consisting entirely of Text fields to another company for automatic list cleansing. My table MUST NOT CONTAIN even a single comma, else the whole procedure will go Iraq-shaped.
Therefore before sending the table, I must apply FIND to each field (column) to search for that one comma that may have slipped in.
So far I know only how to search one column at a time. Is there a way of searching the whole table for commas within Access, rather than first exporting the table to Excel?
Thanks for your help.
Adrian

I am trying to do a query that is set up like this:
I have a table with several fields which represents company vehicles. In each field, a persons name is inputed, unless no one is using the vehicle, in which then the field is blank. Each record represents one day, so the date is the primary key.
I am trying to make a query look at each field, and pull out one persons name, and show which vehicles that person will use over a date range. I have a form setup where you put in the date and the name you want ([Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]), and I am trying to tell the query to look at the form field and bring back only the results with that persons name.
Here is an SQL portion:
((Vehicles.[901 Morning])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[901 Afternoon])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[961 Morning])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[961 Afternoon])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[979 Morning])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[979 Afternoon])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name])...
The date portion is working fine, which is why you do not see it here... it is only the portion where I try to pull the name for each vehicle that I have a problem.
I tried putting an "OR" where all the "AND"s are, but no luck.
Any thoughts?
(And let me know if I was not clear)

Ok, I used the wizard for the 1st time today to create a web page access to my database. Sure enough the fields I added all appear and can browse up and down the records.
My question is....How do you make it searchable ???
Is there already something there i can add to the page from design ?? or would anyone happen to have a bit of code I can manually add into the HTML to achieve this ??
Thanks for everything and anything.
I originally had this thread in the "queries" forum but had no answers. Maybe nobody knows, or maybe I was in wrong forum. I still might be in wrong forum, in which case apologies. It just sounds like an area I'd like to branch my database out as (I think). If this bit finds an answer my next problem is going to be to make sure that over the web page version I'd need it to be read only.

Hi, Im new to Access and VB so please be patient with me. Do know a little about sql queries though.
I have two tables. The first (clones) has another table (BLAST Nucleotide) which is dependent on it (ie: one clone can have many BLAST records)
I want to create a search where I can search by either clone name or BLAST name, and return the results in a list box, and then select an entry from the list & view
Any help appreciated
My zip file of my database can be found HERE

Hi,
Not sure where to put this, but as I want the information to be shown in form view, I guess this is the bext place to start.
In breif, I have created a database, in which infomation on machinery is held.
The problem I am having (atm), is I have to create a function, which I want to be presented in form form, where by each item can be searched by it's RequestID (unique) or the customer who owns it, so that its current location can be attached (or viewed).
I'm not sure whether i've worded this well, so to sumerise:
I need a form with 3 fields, RequestID, Customer and Location.
Where by I input the RequestID, which brings up the Customer and Location, or input Customer which brings up the RequestID and Location (obviously there will be mulitple results from Customer search).
Again, I hope I haven't confused anyone because it's pretty simple what i'm trying to say, but....
Thanks, Ben

Hello everyone,
Im trying to set up a combobox on my Customer Contact Information form, where you can enter a phone/fax/cell/pager or any misc number, and it will bring up the appropriate customer.
Is it possible to make a query that will show the different phone number fields as one field?
Thank you so much for your help, and please let me know if I can clarify anything.

i have a form with a control for "repair type" and a subform that has a query that searches a table holding vehicle repair records. on the form the user can enter up to 5 repair types, [repair1], [repair2], etc.. Then the control on the form holds each type of repair to search by. Since the user could use one or all five repair fields and put repair types likes brakes in field one on one record and field 5 on another record, how do i search to just pull out those records that have the specified search criteria?
If i put in [form]![control] in each of the 5 criteria in the query it comes back with no records, because it it looking for that type in every repair field rather than once between the five fields?

I am currently building a booking and invoicing database for the small business where I work. One aspect of this database allows you to enter an employee name and schedule days off via a form I have already built. To access this information I would like a parameter query where you can enter a date once and then have this date looked up across a number of date fields. Here are my table column headings:
ID
Employee Name
Date 1
Date 2
Date 3
Date 4
Date 5
Date 6
Date 7
....etc
So, basically, the parameter query would ask "What date?" which the person would enter, and then search all 12 date fields to see if the date was contained in any one of them. Then it would pull any records which did have the date in one of the fields.
It seems really simple but I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the answer. Tried a multivalue field but does not seem to work.
Thanks very much, any help appreciated! Elspeth :confused:

Hi, I have two questions which i dont think are two far apart, hence same thread.
First is, how do i make a search text box, that when i click a button searches for what is in that text box, rather than bringing up the find box. It is alright but it always compares it to what was last tabbed, or is the selected tab, and i want it always to compare to another textbox called company name.
secondly. I am often entering entries to the database with the same details. but a different name, how can i have it so that i enter say 4 or 5 names which starts 4 or 5 new records, but then places the rest of the details across all the new records.
THANKS

Hey all.
I have a database but want to create a Search function.
I want the search function to read a drop down box for a table name, then read two text box's for search criteria then search the table and displat results.
My knowledge of Microsoft Access is limited.
I think I have the theory behind it but not the know how for the coding.
So far I have been able to get it too look at the List Box for the table name then when I hit the search button ive set it to just open the table for now.
but cant get any further, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have built a table with text, number and memo fields which i want to be able to search.
What i would like is a form where you can enter details into various fields (eg Title, Author, a field to search all fields, etc) and then display the results in a table in the form below it. Then when the record is double-clicked it opens the record ina new form displaying more details.
Is there a way to do it as i have spent months trying to figure it out and trying to include the sample databases?
I have attached my database so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello, I'm trying to search an entry of a recordset with VBA
The entry can only be found by searching 3 field values. In my case the correct entry can only be found if the data in the field Date, No_Employe and No_Project all match the data of the entry I want.
Findnext doesn't work, it only access one field and I need three.
Seek doesn't work since it need to search a key, and neither Date, No_Employe or No_Project are keys.
How can I proceed ?
Should I use multiples Findnext ( how do I do that ? ) ?
EDIT :
Also please note that I'm searching for 400-500 entries in a row, so speed is an issue.

Hi All,
I have a small yet important question to ask. I have a text box on a form, that text box accepts a product number that the user wants to modify. I want to be able to do the following:
- If the product number does not exist, prompt with an error message (this part is not a problem).
- If the product number does exist, populate the text boxes on the form with the respective data. ex: Product number 512547. Does exist, hence: (TB = textbox)
Prd. No.TB = 512547
Rec'd Date.TB = 10/10/2006
Comments.TB= blah blah blah, etc.
I am simply trying to pull information from a table into text boxes on a form using a text box.
THANKS A MILLION!

In my Access DB, I have a field named ‘REFNO’. This contains reference numbers of some communications. I have a Combo Box to search records with this ‘REFNO.’ It so happened that there were two communications with the same REFNO. When I typed the wanted number in the Combo Box, only one record was displayed in the form which was not the one I wanted. I was able to see the other record by opening the table. Is there a way to display the next record with the same number in the form with the Combo Box? Grateful for help.

What is the problem with my query?
Thanks in advance

I have to database where people enter information and some times miss entering in a field value called [Scanned Invoice] the db automatically gives every entry a date.
The first part was find out which jobs where missing a [scanned invoice] 24hrs ago by making a query [scanned invoice] Is Null [Date Entered] =date()-1 which works fine.
I then realised that sometimes people access the system on a saturday and as the system used globally and different countries have weekends on different days and theres the issues of every country having different back holidays. So i think that rules out networking days.
Is there away where i can get the query to check if the previous day had and entry and keep going back until it finds the next entry?
I tried an iif statement but i am new to Access and i could not get it to work.
I have tried iif(date()="0",date()-1) that seems to work but i can not get it to work any futher? HELP????
