Hi, i am making a stock control program in Access. I have designed several tables, forms and queries etc. but have come stuck at the point where i want to create a button so when i click it, it automatically changes the stock level of all the products that are low in stock, to their "target stock level".
I am confused about how to do this. I tried making a button and going into the expression builder and putting:
=[Product Stock Level]=([Product Target Stock]-[Product Stock Level])+[Product Stock Level]
This would basically change the stock level to the target stock level. But when i press the button, nothing happens.
Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot.

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:

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
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!

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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSubject: 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)

How can I get a PK in another table, based on searching for it based on 2 values. By searching with 2 values you will always get only 1 record.
READ BELOW FOR SITUATION
My Problem on my form:
The user enters 2 values, after entering the 2nd value a Unbound combo box runs a query, which searches for these 2 values (unique), that appear in a separate table.
These 2 values are unique toegether, but records in this separate table have another field, its Primary Key (AutoNumber), used to identfy the pair.
So back to this Unbound Combo Box that searched for the primary key of the 2 values entered. Now Only the Primary key can be selected from the combo, the value that I'm after.
But since there will only be 1 option (being unique), how can I have the PK value aready stored in an Unbound text box, as opposed to having options in a Combo box?
I have a parent table called patient info. and a child table called fills.

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?
