Searching Fields From Two Tables
Mar 4, 2007
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,
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.

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,
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?

Hello..
I am using the following code to run a query off one table to print a report. Here is the sql statement:
SELECT tblMain.EntryNumber, tblMain.EntryDate, tblMain.EmpNumber, tblMain.DriversLicNumber, tblMain.LName, tblMain.FName, tblMain.MInitial, tblMain.Address, tblMain.StreetName, tblMain.City, tblMain.State, tblMain.ZipCode, tblMain.EmployeeStatus, tblMain.Note, tblMain.LastUpdated, [LName] & ", " & [FName] & " " & [MInitial] AS FullName, [Address] & " " & [StreetName] & ", " & [tblCities.CityName] & " " & [tblStates.StateAbbreviation] & ". " & [ZipCode] AS FullAddress, tblStatus.Status
FROM ((tblMain INNER JOIN tblStates ON tblMain.State = tblStates.ID) INNER JOIN tblCities ON tblMain.City = tblCities.CityID) INNER JOIN tblStatus ON tblMain.EmployeeStatus = tblStatus.StatusID
WHERE (((tblMain.DriversLicNumber)=[Forms]![frmPrint]![txtLicNumber]));
Here is the code I am using on the command button:
Private Sub cmdViewLic_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdViewLic_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "rptLicNum"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptLicNum", acViewPreview
Exit_cmdViewLic_Click:
Me.txtLicNumber = Null
Exit Sub
Err_cmdViewLic_Click:
'MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdViewLic_Click
End Sub
Here is where I am running into the problems.
Problem #1
When I add the tables Spouses and Children to the main table in the query view I get the following erro: more then one table has LName etc.. Which is true. Is there anyway around this problem with out renaming table headers?
Problem #2
If I get problem #1 fixed how can I setup the search function I am using to look in the other two tables to pull information from them? I can get it to pull from one table how can I get it to pull information from all of my tables. I have been trying different things but nothing is working.
I don't know if it has to do with my query not working correctly when I add the other tables etc...
Thanks

Is there a way to search multiple tables for a record. I have 4 tables, each containing a different product. In each table are lists of serial numbers (primary key) and other information (ship_to, sales_order_number,etc.) for the product. I want to be able to enter a serial number and display the information related to that serial number. Not all fields are the same for each table. Is this possible? I would greatly appreciate any help!!

Ok folks I have what is proving to be a doozy for me.
I have a multiple table database related fields in each one are:
Procedure
Description
Payable Amount
I am trying to find a way to search particular tables for particular Procedures. My output must include fields: Procedure, Description, Payable Amount. I have tried a form but I would have to included way too many text boxes to accompish what I am looking for. If possible I would like to have three text boxes if a form is possible. I would start the search and my output would end up in the text boxes below:
Procedure, Description, Payable Amount
With of course some sort of Identifier of the table that was selected to search in.
Can anyone help me?

Ok,
I have three tables that are named different, but have the same column names, but different data in them. The data in each table is linked by a master table that has a primary key.
What I need is a way to make a form with a box where I can search on a value that could be in any of the three tables and then the associted information from the site will display in the above boxes.
(Site Master Table contains all site information and the primary key)
(The three tables are sales order information. Stage Only table, Install table, and srop ship table)
Any ideas?

Hi all,
I've got one question again.
Let's say. I've created several tables to store data for several categories.Note: there is no relationship between each table.In each table, there is the date field in which the record is created.
Then I want to make another daily record form that is to find records from all categories which is created at the current date.
Is this possible to search records from various tables and combine them to show in one form or report?
Can anyone help me in this case?
thanks in advance.

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 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:

Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product
Unit
Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT
Grasshopper Box1000 Adult
Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult
Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?

I reached the limit of 255 fields in a table. I just need to add one more field so I deleted several fields I no longer needed thinking I would then be able to add one more new field. However, I am still unable to add one more field. How to free up fields that are no longer needed?

I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?

I have two tables of data, each relating to three business branches (branches A, B and C).
Table 1 shows the expenditure of each branch (by fuel, premises and wages).
Table 2 shows a number of units for each branch (mileage, floorspace and sales).
What I would like to do is calculate unit costs, based on the expenditure in Table 1, divided by a relevant unit in Table 2. The catch is that I want to have a third table which allows the user to specify which expenditure (from Table 1) is combined with which unit (from Table 2) to generate the calculated unit costs. I've been able to do this in Excel, and have attached an example. I've also attached an incomplete Access version with the first two tables. Given the complexity of my actual data, I feel this could be better handled in Access than Excel.

I am working on a database which has two tables used as part of a registration and login process.
I would like a couple of fields from table one to automatically update in table two, once the fields in table one are populated without using an 'on click' event.
The reason I would prefer not to use an onclick is because the completion of the form used to generate the users table does not require any buttons for the data to save.

i would like to sum all the column fields in a tables column where an id is the same as the id in that table.
I know you can use the SUM function in the select statement of your query.
But how can i set this sum result into a variable, so i can use it for calculation further on in the program?
