I wanted to see if it is possible to pull a query by just entering say the first three letters of a project name and the query displaying everything from the table that begins with those three letters. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. I am just completely stuck!
View RepliesI have a parent table called patient info. and a child table called fills. The database in the future will become very large, and will be difficult to find a particular patient in the parent table to update fills in the child table. How can I search through the parent table with ease so that I can update fills?
Thanks for those who help!
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 would like to put a search tool on a form that does pretty much the same as the find dialogue box, with out it being a dialogue box...
I need to be able to search specific fields on the form and all the fields. It needs to "Find Next" so to speak, as in not just finding the first match.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated...... Joe
Lets say i have records that contain the following dates
09/06/07
14/06/07
20/06/07
31/06/07
14/07/07
And i wanted to know what records contain anything between 09/06/07 and 31/06/07 so it would show the records that have this in the date field
09/06/07
14/06/07
20/06/07
31/06/07
What would be the best way to do this
Thanks in advance
I have a form I am using to search for records based on any number of criteria. The one I am having a problem with is a model number search. I would like to search based on a from value and a to value.......for instance........let's say you had the following items:
bird
birth
bill
birdbath
bite
bitter
If I want to search for values from bir to birt, I would get bird, birdbath and birth. How can I code my query value to look for values between two text boxes in a form?
Hi all,
With some help from this forum (esp. Pat Hartman), i've been able to code up a script that performs a check on duplicate values.
My database has a Room Bookings form which consists of the room name, periods and booking date (BDate) fields. I need to prevent a duplicate on the same date, period and room.
The only problem with my code is that it only does a check on one of the fields e.g. BDate although i select a different period or room it still comes up with an error message saying that booking already exists? This means it is only checking the duplicate value of 1 field and not a combination of fields.
Here is my code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strSearch As String
Dim varKey As Variant
strSearch = "BDate = #" & Me.BDate & "# And Period1 = """ & Me.Period1 & """And Period2 = """ & Me.Period2 & """And Period3 = """ & Me.Period3 & """And Period4 = """ & Me.Period4 & """And Period5 = """ & Me.Period5 & """And Period6 = """ & Me.Period6 & """And Lunch = """ & Me.Lunch & """And After_School = """ & Me.After_School & """"
varKey = DLookup("Booking_ID", "Furtherbookings", strSearch)
If Not IsNull(varKey) Then
If MsgBox("Booking already exists Booking ID: " & varKey & ". Do you wish to continue to create a new record?", vbYesNoCancel) = vbYes Then
Else
Cancel = True
Me.Undo
End If
End If
End Sub
Can any1 identify where i am going wrong?
I'd really appreciate any help/guidance to resolve this problem!
:(
I'm trying to write an app that will allow the user to search for records based on database fields, then select a subset of those records to be manipulated by other functions. The VBA book I'm reading led me to believe that a RecordSet would be the best way to store this subset of records, but searching around on the web has pointed me toward using a DAO.QueryDef. I can't seem to get either method to work!
Here's a quick overview of the app: everything is placed on one form. I have two tab controls that make a sort of upper and lower set of pages. One of the lower pages has the search functions. The user enters his search criteria into one or more textboxes (correlating to database fields, i.e. Last Name, SSN, etc), then hits the Search button. This should query the database, then populate a listbox with the search results. The user can then select one or more records from the listbox, hit another button, and the selected records are copied to another listbox on a page on the upper half of the form, where they can be further manipulated.
Can someone advise me on the best objects to use to accomplish this? A short code sample would be awesome.
By the way, does VBA have some sort of online API reference (like Java)? I know that MS Access has the object browser, but it doesn't give descriptions of the objects, nor does it list methods that can be invoked on them. Could someone also point me towards some good programmer's resources?
Thanks...
Hello All
I've been looking and abusing the search function on this forum for this particular obstacle but no luck.
The client im building a database for wants a search form and everyone who used the old system are used by using *'s in their search criteria.
I know how I can use *'s in queries but its fixed (I think).
I want to let the end user use * when they want to pin down a particular product. So they just type in a part of a word and use a * at the end, middle or before.
Or should I just abandon the idea of using them in input form controls?
I know this works because I have seen it before, too bad I had no access to the source of it.
I hope someone comes up with some ideas, pointers or howto's
Thank you guys in advance
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.
I have a database which has numbers for different statistics and i would like to be able to search, for example, the past 10 weeks and find out how many time a certain number has been recorded.

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.
