Searching For Any Word In A Memo Field On ASP Page
May 1, 2008
Hi there, I am currently working on our intranet at work and am creating an Access database so we can record all of the box files at our storage facility.
One of the fields is called 'contents', which is a Memo field, where the person who is inputting the data will describe what is in the box. They will then use the autonumber generated by the database to label that box.
That way we can locate the boxes much easier than at the moment.
I have created a results page with a search box at the top using ASP in Dreamweaver CS3 and it works fine if I replicate EXACTLY what is written in the contents memo field.
ie: if the contents field for record number one reads
'Archived box of insurance documents dating back to 1999'
I would need to type in that exact phrase to pull that info back.
What I want it to do is if I was to put in '1999' or 'insurance' then it would return the same result (and others with those specific words).
What do I need to do in my code?
Here is the current code
Code:<%Dim rs__MMColParamrs__MMColParam = "1"If (Request.QueryString("content") <> "") Then rs__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("content") End If%><%Dim rsDim rs_cmdDim rs_numRowsSet rs_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")rs_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_intranet_STRINGrs_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM archive WHERE content = ?" rs_cmd.Prepared = truers_cmd.Parameters.Append rs_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 200, 1, 255, rs__MMColParam) ' adVarCharSet rs = rs_cmd.Executers_numRows = 0%><%Dim Repeat1__numRowsRepeat1__numRows = -1Dim Repeat1__indexRepeat1__index = 0rs_numRows = rs_numRows + Repeat1__numRows%><%Dim MM_paramName %><%' *** Go To Record and Move To Record: create strings for maintaining URL and Form parametersDim MM_keepNoneDim MM_keepURLDim MM_keepFormDim MM_keepBothDim MM_removeListDim MM_itemDim MM_nextItem' create the list of parameters which should not be maintainedMM_removeList = "&index="If (MM_paramName <> "") Then MM_removeList = MM_removeList & "&" & MM_paramName & "="End IfMM_keepURL=""MM_keepForm=""MM_keepBoth=""MM_keepNone=""' add the URL parameters to the MM_keepURL stringFor Each MM_item In Request.QueryString MM_nextItem = "&" & MM_item & "=" If (InStr(1,MM_removeList,MM_nextItem,1) = 0) Then MM_keepURL = MM_keepURL & MM_nextItem & Server.URLencode(Request.QueryString(MM_item)) End IfNext' add the Form variables to the MM_keepForm stringFor Each MM_item In Request.Form MM_nextItem = "&" & MM_item & "=" If (InStr(1,MM_removeList,MM_nextItem,1) = 0) Then MM_keepForm = MM_keepForm & MM_nextItem & Server.URLencode(Request.Form(MM_item)) End IfNext' create the Form + URL string and remove the intial '&' from each of the stringsMM_keepBoth = MM_keepURL & MM_keepFormIf (MM_keepBoth <> "") Then MM_keepBoth = Right(MM_keepBoth, Len(MM_keepBoth) - 1)End IfIf (MM_keepURL <> "") Then MM_keepURL = Right(MM_keepURL, Len(MM_keepURL) - 1)End IfIf (MM_keepForm <> "") Then MM_keepForm = Right(MM_keepForm, Len(MM_keepForm) - 1)End If' a utility function used for adding additional parameters to these stringsFunction MM_joinChar(firstItem) If (firstItem <> "") Then MM_joinChar = "&" Else MM_joinChar = "" End IfEnd Function%>
I am building a database application, in which the users desire to use Word to Edit and change the RTF memo field of a particular table. I know how dump access rtf information to Word. Is there a way to pull it all back from the word application? Maybe some way to create a submit/close button that sends the data back?
I asking to see if it is possible to run a query on a memo field. For an example I want to pull all records where the memo field contains the word "Test".
We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0) Dim sPath As String sPath = "G:Temp.html" Open sPath For Output As 1 Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>" Close #1 What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)
Hi, i am designing a database but i need to do a query which will search for a specific word and bring up all the details regarding this this. An example is i need to search for the drug panacur to see which animal use this treatment, i then want it to bring the name and address oof the client as well as any other details. I just do not know how to search for a specific word. please help!! Thanks
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.
What I am trying to do is split a sentence into words LikeJocelyne Labylle And Jacob DesvarieuxThis would produce 4 words as the and,&,/ Ect are removedSo I end up with:-JocelyneLabylleJacobDesvarieuxIf all 4 words are found in a string it returns all matching records plus gets 100%3 words again returns all matching records plus say 75% and so onI haven't done a lot with it at the min as the first bit is quite simple IE getting the names Etc. but I can't think for the life of me how I can do the search.I Have Tried a query With [Names] Like ""*[String Names]*""" but it seems to only work with each letter???but my main reason for asking here is I don't like reinventing the wheel or at least trying to which will mean hours of Fun but maybe somebody knows of something I could use on the net.Thanks for any help/Advice.mick
I need to find whether a memo field contains a specific word. I know how to find whether it contains a specific string.
Let's say I am looking for the word "run." I would not want a positive result when searching "I don't like gerunds," but I WOULD want to find the records with "I know how to 'run' a search."
So I am looking for WORDS, not matching strings.
I am perfectly willing to use a user-defined function, to put involved processing into the query, such as
Code: ... WHERE FieldHasWord("run", memoField) = True AND ...
There are two pages in a word document. All the pages have same headers as attached in word document "Capita.doc". I want to display that header on just first page and on second one page, I want to display watermark stored in "J:PAP107.jpg". The following code displays same watermark on all the pages i.e "J:PAP107.jpg" but I want to keep the header as in the attached word document on first page only and display watermark stored in "J:PAP107.jpg" on second page.
Code:
Private Sub CmdPrint_Click() Call WordSetupQA("C:CAPITA.dot", "J:PAP107.jpg", Format(DateSerial(ComboBox4, ComboBox3, ComboBox2), "mm/dd/yyyy"), pno) End Sub
Code: Sub WordSetupQA(fnTemplate As String, fnBackGroundPic As String, b As Date, a As String) On Error Resume Next 'MsgBox txtbox Application.DisplayAlerts = False Dim strworkbookname As String strworkbookname = "C:System1.mdb" Set WordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
I'm new to using Access, and come from a library background, and I'm trying to use Access to build a library database. So far it's going well, but when it comes to searching using a form and applying a filter I can only get it to search one field at a time, and really I want to search two or more depending on which field I'm using.
I am in the process of changing over a text field to a memo field to generate more space (in 5 different databases :eek: ) Thanks to all the good info on several searches of this forum, I am pretty clear on how to do that.
The question is... when I convert a field that already has information in it, will I lose the current information?
when i change records, my subform that has a memo field, shows the memo field data is "highlighted". i can make a mistake and hit any keyboard key and the memo field data will get erased.
is there a way to prevent such a problem?
if not, is there a work around. eg, hide the memo field until needed for more input? ideas on both issues?
Ive designed a databse - no problem. Ive done all queries I need to - no problem. Ive designed forms for entering data and reports for showing data - no problem. THE ONE PROBLEM I have is with 1 field.
The problem is that the field is a memo box, used to add data on groups attended. For example: General, customer care, mystery shopping.
Can I run a query so that a different user can search the memo box for attendence to a certain group? eg, search this databse and field for customer care.
At the moment I can only seach on the first word in the field. I dont really want to have seperate fields as each employee can have attendence to different groups ie bo can have just general while bill has general, mystery shopping, customer care etc.
:mad: I have a combo box which is being used for surname searching. It displays surnames in the first column and first names in the second column. I would like the user to be able to type or select a surname from the dropdown list and where there are multiple entries of that surname select the correct record. At present the first matching surname is the one that keeps being selected.
I am displaying the complete record in fields lower down in the same form.
I also have a firstname search combobox but the code will be almost identical.
Can someone help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.
I have around twenty shipment tables for different days and one main store check table.In the shipment tables i have bill numbers that correspond with shipping id's and in the store table i only have bill numbers.
I would like to check if the bill number in the store table appears in all 20 tables.after doing that i want the corresponding shipping ID to appear in the store table. Is this possible?
Quick question... I figured out how to make all the searching items work... individually. The problem is is that I want to be able to search with two fields at a time. For example, say i have mo, date, job, pay and i want to seach for the MO and JOB and query the results accordingly. I can't get it to do that. Would I have to make a large If statement? I'm not entirely sure. Also now my problem is that it won't execute my first if statement or I should say it ignores it all togeather. I know it executes the code in the order it is written. If someone could shed some light I would be much apprecative. As always here is the code and attached is the program. What I'm working on is in the query table.
I also would like to be able for it to say if the fields MO and JOB do not comeup witha result for a messege to display there is no result. Or if the field is null not to do anything. I tried doing that in some of my code to no success perhaps I did somthing wrong.
Have a great day!
Dim strSQL As String Dim sqlStringWHERE As String Dim strhead As String Dim strJOIN As String

I have a database that I am creating for my work. I have a form that I am trying to get it to search the information from a table to pull the record on the form. I would like to search infomation such as employee id and wanting it to pull that information from the table.
DoCmd.OutputTo to export a query but this truncates the memo fields, but in the db window,right clicking and choosing to export does not truncate the data.
How do I code to output all the data without truncating?
I have a txt box on a report which should show comments.. In the background table the field this txt box is bound to has a data type of memo. Yet the txt box on the report stops showing any more than 255 characters! any clues? I know 255 is the field size set for my Txt fields but memo fields should be able to display 65000000000000000 trillion characters with no problems.
When I look at the table the memo field has all the txt in it, it just wont display all the txt on the report.
Are there any other advantages in using a text field verses a memo field other than memory allocation? Memory allocation seems like such a small issue these days.
I need to take out the carriage returns but keep the items delimited in some way so they all apear on the one line. These are the child parts for kits so i need to keep them on one line as i import them or via a query so i can see the parent part they belong to.
If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long. I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars. Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?
1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.
2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel. Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?
Let me say first I am a novice Access user, just trying to teach myself a few things to make my job easier. So take it easy on me with any feedback.
This is my situation. I am using a web based help desk ticketing software that has an Access DB. I have created a couple of queries and linked them together that seem to be working and giving me the data that I want with one exception.
I am tring to query a memo field, which is the description of a ticket, and the output is only a small portion of what is actually entered in to the table. Is there a way either in my query or report builder to make a change that will output all of the data from the description field?
A couple of things that I've tried on my own are to change the data type for that field from memo to text, however that that puts limits on the amount of data that can be entered in and causes the help desk software to function incorrectly. I've also turned on Can Grow and Can Shrink for the text box for the output in my form.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
