I have a database and I made a query to search records. The query worked perfectly, but now the only problem is that if a search has an ID number that is bigger than 239, the results will not be displayed. The query will be empty! :S
What is the problem with my query?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a form that is based on a query with many fields. As an example there is a field called "Medium" which contains values such as "Oil on canvas", "Oil on wood" etc.
At the moment I have a filter which works fine but this doesn't allow me to search all records which have the word "Oil" as part of the Medium.
I would like to be able to search all fields on the form. I have looked at a few exmaples on the forums but could not find one that applies to my scenario.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
OK - I'm kinda new to all this stuff (as you're about to find out from my question).
I've got a page with a search form, where visitors enter a search term. That page uses GET to pass the variable to the results page. The SQL on the results page is pretty simple, it just takes the variable from the URL and filters for records:
WHERE columnname CONTAINS
Request.QueryString("passedvariable")
So that all works fine - except that it does not allow for complex searches. If someone searches for 'fish' then that works fine. If someone searches for 'fish and food' then the search looks for "fish and food" somewhere in the record, rather than looking for both of those terms in a record.
Now, I'm guessing that there's no simple solution for who to get this to work, but I'm hoping that someone can help me out and at least point me in the right direction. I'd be happy to post additional code if you need it - but I don't even know what else to post!
Thanks in advance.
Hi there guys;
I'm after something quite complicated this time, so i'm going to do my best to explain it in the offchance that someone can help me out. I'm not sure that what i want is even possible, although i think it should be; i just dont know how to achieve it.
I have three entities; Table1, Query1, Form1.
Form1 and Query1 have both been created using Table1 with some basic data.
Form1 will have three text boxes titled:
Broker; Audit ID; Audit Date
Beneath these it will then have a search button.
The idea is that i will type "BrokerName" into the "Broker" field on the form, and using Query1, the search button will retrieve all lines of data that have "BrokerName" in the "Broker" field in the query. So it's like using the [Enter Broker Name] criteria in the query except the criteria is entered into a Form text box rather than a pop-up window. Does that make sense?
The remaining two fields, Audit ID and Audit Date, will need to ADD the data entered into those boxes on the form, in to the query. I *think* it needs to add the data in to the query before "BrokerName" is used to select the records with "BrokerName" in them.
After the records have been found using the "BrokerName" criteria, they would then be inserted as Subform1 on Form1. I figured i would need a refresh button for this to work effectively. I have already made a refresh button, but if anyone knows of a way to refresh it automatically after selecting the records i need, then that'd be great.
So i have the basic setup ready to go, i just dont know how to make Query1 use the criteria entered on Form1 to search specific data.
I really hope that makes sense, i'm not very good at explaining. Any help is hugely appreciated!
Thanks again.
I am currently working through my A2 (final year of high school in the UK) ICT coursework, in which I am building an Access database system for a small wedding car hire company.
My current problem is I would like to (not even sure if it's possible but I assume it is) have a form that searches a query for a date that the customer has entered.
If there is no date in the query that matches the one that the customer has entered, it means that their chosen date is available. If there is a match however it means that the date is unavailable.
I am using Microsoft Access 2010.
Hi. Please do not lecture me on database normalization, as this truly is not in my control.
I have 2 dozen tables, each with 13 fields. All of the field names exist in at least 12 of the tables. And all tables share a ssn field where values are common.(Confused yet? Sorry, if you are...)
If I design a query showing all 2 dozen tables and their fields...
Can I set up a query criteria where I enter the requested ssn and then the required field name and have the result show the values of all the fields with that name, among the ones of the 2 dozen tables where that field name exists? (for that specified ssn)
If I am only as clear as mud, please let me know, and I will try again.
Or, by asking if I can search for field values querying by field name, am I any clearer?

I am trying to create a query with a parameter on it, but on a date box, but only searching for a specific month, without regards to the year. So what I want is for me to run the query, a pop up box asks "which month?", I then put in Jan for example, and the results will show all records with the month Jan regardless of the day or year.
Is this possible? If so - whats the code I would use?
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 basic database to hold details on all my computer books and software as i hundereds of them.
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.

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????
Hello Access Fans!
I've got this query whereby i would like to find the address information about people by a keyword search on either their name or their quickname which currently looks like this:
SELECT Tbl_Addresses.*
FROM Tbl_Addresses
WHERE ((((Tbl_Addresses.Name)OR(Tbl_Addresses.Quickname) ) Like "*" & [Enter a Name] & "*"));
However this doesn't return any results? it works if i search for just the Tbl_addresses.Name or the Tbl_Addresses.Quickname but not for both? does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you

I have a problem with an SQL query that is used to create a report, the query itself works fine, however I need to get it to do something extra. Basically we have a column that contains 1-3 letters. The letters are A, B and C. The query searches the database and returns result depending on which of the letters we entered. We do this using the like statment -:
SELECT * FROM TableUser WHERE UserType LIKE B
So the above SQL statement returns all entries with the letter B in the column UserType. Also we my need to search for AB, which returns all entries with AB and ABC. The problem is that we sometimes need to search for AC, which should return the values AC and ABC. The problem is that it only returns the values AC and not ABC. I know why it does this as it is searching for a string like 'AC', I am just not sure how to get round the problem. Is there a way of searching the string for the Value AC so that it returns the entries AC and ABC.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers

i have put a song database together (access 2002) with a swithboard to use when i run karaoke nights.
my question is, i have a search button on the switchboard where i can search for name or artist, which works by entering the entire song name or artist but i cannot figure out how i can search for part of a field.
i know how to do it in a normal query (using the LIKE command) but it doesnt work when i try it in the switchboard
many thanks in advance
hi.. i am currently creating an employee database.. and there is a form on
the database that needs to search on records.. i am planning to create a form
with a single textbox (for the keyword entry) and a search command button
that when clicked, the search results will be shown in a seaparate continuous
form.
now here is my query:
SELECT tblEmployee.EmployeeIDPK, tblEmployee.LastName, tblEmployee.FirstName,
tblEmployee.MiddleName, tblCompany.CompanyName, tblDealer.DealerName,
tblOutlet.OutletName, tblPosition.PositionName
FROM (tblOutlet INNER JOIN (tblDealer INNER JOIN (tblCompany INNER JOIN
tblPosition ON tblCompany.CompanyIDPK = tblPosition.CompanyIDFK) ON tblDealer.
DealerIDPK = tblPosition.DealerIDFK) ON tblOutlet.OutletIDPK = tblPosition.
OutletIDFK) INNER JOIN tblEmployee ON tblPosition.PositionIDPK = tblEmployee.
PositionIDFK
WHERE (((tblPosition.PositionName)=[Forms]![frmSearchEmployee]![txtSearchFor])
) OR (((tblOutlet.OutletName)=[Forms]![frmSearchEmployee]![txtSearchFor])) OR
(((tblDealer.DealerName)=[Forms]![frmSearchEmployee]![txtSearchFor])) OR ((
(tblCompany.CompanyName)=[Forms]![frmSearchEmployee]![txtSearchFor])) OR ((
(tblEmployee.MiddleName)=[Forms]![frmSearchEmployee]![txtSearchFor])) OR ((
(tblEmployee.FirstName)=[Forms]![frmSearchEmployee]![txtSearchFor])) OR ((
(tblEmployee.LastName)=[Forms]![frmSearchEmployee]![txtSearchFor])) OR ((
(tblEmployee.EmployeeIDPK)=[Forms]![frmSearchEmployee]![txtSearchFor]));
but when i click search, the results are empty. what could be wrong with the
query? is it the query? what should be the record source for the search form
and the result form?
if you want to see the actual ms access file, here it is:
http://www.gigafiles.co.uk/files/636/human%20resource%20info%20system_2006-10-11.zip
the name of the form is frmSearchEmployee and frmSearchResultEmployee and the
name of the query is qrySearchResult.. thanks a lot and God bless..
I am new here. I need a little direction on the right path to take. My background is RPG programming so I am very shakey when it comes to SQL and Access DB.
I have two spreadsheets I am importing into a Access DB. These two spreadsheets have lists of first and last names.
I need to treat one as the "master" listing of names and take the other table and search against the master looking for occurences of the names. To start out, I will just try to match last name against last name. The only catch is the first and last names are all together in one column in each table.
So, what I think I am looking for is a way to take a character string and search another table column for the same character string.
For example:
Let's say the "master" table has a column for name and one of the rows is Duck, Donald. The second table has a name in a row Duck, Buford. I would want to take the string of "Duck" and search the master table for "Duck."
I guess I could do this because the first and last names are seperated by a comma. The reason for not searching for the entire first and last name is because most of the time they do not match exactly. There may be a middle initial or maybe the first name was mispelled. Anyway, I am looking to strip out the last name and search for it in another table.
Where would you suggest I start looking?
Thank you.
Scott
