Select Multiple Criteria For Query On A Form
Oct 14, 2005
I was searching through here looking for a solution to the following problem:
I am building a Capacity database for work. The requirements require that users be able to sort by numerous criteria (Forecast Date, Portfolio, Market, Bucket, Month), all from a simple form that will spit out the results. Rather than creating unique queries for each combination of criteria(way too many!) or creating the SQL text in VBA, I played around until I came up with the following(which may have been done already, but I can't find it on here, so I'm not claiming to be brilliant...LOL). I have dropdowns on my form for each sort criteria-(Forecast Date, Portfolio, Market, Bucket, Month)
Then I created a query and for each criteria, I put this in:
Like (IIf(IsNull([Forms]![frmWAOFAdjustments]![Bucket]),"*",[Forms]![frmWAOFAdjustments]![Bucket]))
So if the user leaves a dropdown blank, the query simply brings back all the results from that field (Like *).
The text in bold is simply replaced with the dropdown name for each segmentation criteria. Next to each dropdown is a button that clears the dropdown box and requeries the listbox with the results(in case the user doesn't want to remove a criteria. This makes running searches for a specific number of accounts easy for the user and easy on me..lol.
Hopefully this can help someone out with a similar problem. I have learned so much from this forum, I just wanted to give something back. If anyone has any questions on this, just let me know.

Hi,
I'm trying to build a select query where it prompts the user for a few parameters. I've been having issues where people would misspell the vendor name and nothing pops up. I changed the vendor to Like [Vendor Name] & "*" but now I can't use the parameter of PO# without everything popping up. I have attached the SQL view. Thank you for any suggestions.
SELECT [Main Payment].[Batch#], [Main Payment].VendorName, [Main Payment].VoucherPrefix, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber, [Main Payment].VoucherSuffix, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].Vchline1, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].PONo, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].InvoiceDate, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].InvoiceID, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].Amount
FROM [Main Payment] INNER JOIN [FY08 PAYMENT detail] ON [Main Payment].VoucherNumber = [FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber
WHERE ((([FY08 PAYMENT detail].PONo)=[Enter PO#])) OR ((([Main Payment].[Batch#])=[Enter Batch #])) OR ((([FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber)=[Enter Voucher #])) OR ((([Main Payment].VendorName) Like [Enter Vendor Name] & "*"));

I am fairly new to Access and I would like to create a form to allow users to create their own query. I would like to allow users to select multiple fields (perhaps with checkboxes?) from all possible fields in a table to return either all data from that field or narrow their search by inputting certain criteria or choosing from a drop down into a text box. Is this possible in Access and any detailed specifics on how to achieve this?

Hi all,
I have a query which populates a form called EditPatientFrm, which asks the user to enter the patient UniqueID in order to pull up the record they want to edit from the TblPatient. However, I want the user to now be able to input just one of three criteria in order to pull up the record to be edited:
UniqueID
ChartNumber
PatientLastName and PatientFirstName (two fields)
since they may not have the UniqueID readily available to them.
Can anyone show me how to do this? I have tried to find answer to this one under queries and forms- no avail. Sure it's a simple thing...
thanks!

I have a combo box on my form that passes criteria to a simple select query. There are four possible selections to make from the combo box. For some reason, when I select the first option on the list the query runs perfectly. However, if I select the second, third or fourth option from the combo box, the query returns no records, even though I know there are records in my table which should be returned.

I am trying to create a form that allows the user to select a detective and multiple case statuses (such active, inactive, dna, filing, etc.). The form is intended to allow the user to determine the number of assigned cases. The form is tied to a query and the criteria that I've set up in the query is:
[Forms]![DET_CaseManagementFRM]![Combo30] which is under the investigator field.
The case status field has similar criteria [Forms]![DET_CaseManagementFRM]![List43].
My problem is that I cant figure out how to allow the user to select multiple criteria in case status field in my form. The research I've done online says you need to specify simple or extended in the Multi Select field under the other tab in the property sheet. However, when I do specify simple it doesnt return any records which I know it not true. Is there VB code that I need for this?

I have a list of client stored in a table "Clients". I would like a form to present a user with the next client in the list at the click of a button, but there will be some exceptions:
Some clients will be given priority, and should be moved to the top of the list although they may not be the next logical entry in the table. Priority clients are indicated by a field "Priority" with a Yes/No option set before work begins.
Some clients will have requested a call at a certain time of the day - This time will be stored in a field named timeToCall. The next user to click the button after the time has passed should be given that clients details.
When the end of the list is reached any clients who could not be contacted will be tried again. My table currently has a field "Attempts" to track this, but that may not be needed. Clients who have been dealt with will be removed from the "Clients" table to a "Completed" table.
Whichever record is selected will be flagged as being dealt with so that 2 people don't get the same entry. I may add a new field for this, but right now I plan to use the "attempts" field to control this
I am unsure of the best approach to the above, I'm not very well-versed in Access, but if I were doing this in Excel (as originally requested by my boss) I would do it like this:
Use a form where the "Next" button will use VBA code to first check if there are any priority clients, then check if there are any timed client's ready to call and then move to the next entry that has had 0 contact attempts. Whichever record is the next one will be displayed in the form to the user.

Hello all,
I have a form that feeds a query with information, in my query I have this:
[Company] Like [Forms]![QBF_Form]![Sales] & "*" Or [Forms]![QBF_Form]![Sales] Is Null
When I fill in a value in the field e.g. "data*"the query brings up all information with the word "data" in it.
However, when I fill in something like "data* or vent*" I don't get any query results.
How do I change the query expression above so I can search for multiple criteria in one field using "or"?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I am trying to set up a query by form with multiple criteria.For the majority of the criteria I'm using the format: Like [Form]![formName].[txtInputboxName] &"*" .
I copied the Like (...) &"*" from someone else in order to allow for multiple, optional criteria, which does do the trick, however I don't understand why.
I now want to set up a criteria on my query to search for values between two input values to gives the records in the range e.g between 50 and 100 Following the above format, I want to put something that achieves this:
Between Like [Form]![formName].[txtInputboxName1] &"*" AND Like [Form]![formName].[txtInputboxName2] &"*"
with Inputbox1 being 50 and Inputbox2 being 100, however that code doesn't work and I don't know how to get around it as it keeps giving the 'incorrect syntax' error.

I have a form where varying layers of information can be entered. In some cases, a user may know all information or only part. If i tie the query to the form, each field has to be populated for it to work. how do i set the query up to effectively use the information available and not require all information?
I have tried setting VBA code as follows:
If Me.Combo1 = Null Then Me.Combo1 = "*"
However, when i do this, it updates the form field with an asterick/wild card but does not include in query. yet, when i update the form fields with data (not asterisk/wild card) the query runs.

I need to create a query that has multiple criteria selected from a form For example. I will always have the customer name but then the user might also choose any one or more of the following, start date, end date, number etc
I have tried to create a select query and added the customer form element to the criteria but I am not sure how to do the rest because it will always have at least one more criteria but I am not sure which one and it may have up to 5 more criteria.

My form-based search mechanism uses controls to set the parameters for the query data source.
I have one field call quantity in stock. I could you a Between and And method to allow the end user to input the stock quantity they want.
HOWEVER, i would love it for the user to first select the Comparison Operator (e.g. > , <, >=, <=) from a combo box and then in an adjacent text box, enter the quantity.
The expression i entered in the query goes something like this.... Forms![frmSearch]![cboRange] & [Forms]![frmSearch]![txtQuantity]
When i try and run this, i get the message "THe expression is too complex to be evaluated".

Hello,
I am struggling writing criteria that is based off of multiple combo boxes in a search form. I basically have a form setup in several pages the first page being a search page. This page consists of three combo boxes which are populated from the tables. These three boxes are all related. The way the search is setup at the moment is if the combo boxes are Null then they report all the data in the fields but if something is selected then the query gets requeried and displays the data based on that criteria.
What I need to have it do is if it is Null report everything but if something is selected in the first box that selection will also be apart of the second criteria and third criteria.
What I have written at this time is;
First Box:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![FormName]![Combo1]),[Data1],[Forms]![FormName]![Combo1])
Second Box:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![FormName]![Combo2]),[Data2],[Forms]![FormName]![Combo2] )
Third Box:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![FormName]![Combo3]),[Data3],[Forms]![FormName]![Combo3] )
My intentions are too write something that allows the criteria to use the other values in each combo box. The problem I have is it keeps spitting an error out at me which says I have the wrong number of arguments.
Here is what I am trying to accompolish.
PsuedoCode:
If (Combo1 =Null) {
Select all values of Data1
Else {
Select all values of Data1 with match value of Combo1
}
If ( Combo2 = Null) {
If( Combo1= Null){
Select all values of Data2
}
}
Else{
Select all values of Data2 with matching value of Combo1 and Combo2
}
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have set up a query to pull data from within a date range.
I have written an SQL Statement to amend the format of the date field:
Effective Date: IIf([Date_Effective_From]="00000000",Null,DateValue(Mid([Date_Effective_From],7,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Effective_From],5,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Effective_From],1,4)))
Within my criteria I have:
Between [Forms]![Benefits]![date1] And [Forms]![Benefits]![date2]
(Benefits being the form). If I enter date range 01/01/2005 to 01/05/2005 I receive all data from 01 January to 01 May - but including different years i.e 2002, 2003, 2004 etc.
Can anyone suggest anything I may have missed?
Thanks

I am developing an Event Management DB for business training courses. I have an attendees table with a link to CompanyNames. I wish to be able to produce an attendees report based on the CompanyName ie all attendees from the selected company. I have done this by using a dropdown of companynames on a Criteria selection form. This works well.
What I would also like to do is print the same list without the companyName criteria. I am aware I could make another query but was hoping that maybe there is a way of setting up the criteria in the companyName field so that it could accept either a company name or ALL company names.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Using MS Access 2002
Need some help trying to filter out some data so it can be deleted from the main table so updated data can be pasted into it that table.
Table name is "dbo_VG_PropertyValues"
AppID - Number
DNIS - Text (This is the column i need filtered)
PropertyName - Text
ProperetyValue - Text
I had a query where i would just type in the 3-4 DNIS numbers that i needed to search for by using "11111" or "22222" or... etc... in the simple query view under criteria..
I'm now getting lists of 50 + numbers i need to do searches for, delete and replace with updated data. I can't run a string of "or" statements on 50+ numbers, it won't allow it. I created a table called 'DNISList" with the 50+ numbers i need to search for out of the "dbo_VG_PropertyValues" table. In the simple query view i linked on the DNIS number from both tables and set the join property to show all the records that matched. Hey it looks good, so far, i got the results i wanted but can't delete anything.
Is there anyway in the criteria field under the column DNIS from "dbo_VG_PropertyValues" where i can so a search on that table without linking the tables? I hope I'm making sense. You know something like:
IN ([DNISList]![TFN])

Hi all,
Firstly, I'm an ex-fulltime access developer who has found himself doing access work again 6 years later; I can't actually believe how much I've forgotten :s
Anyway, I've done a search and havn't found anything that can help me so wondered if anyone could give some advice.
I have an access form with 3 combo boxes and a checkbox next to each of them. these are accessed using a query with 3 iif statements in it stating; (iif checkbox is null, "*", combo_box_value). the whole query looks like this
SELECT Customers.*
FROM Customers
WHERE (((Customers.Partner)=IIf(Forms!frm_rpt_main!check _partner Is Null,"*",Forms!frm_rpt_main!partner)) AND ((Customers.[Type Business])=IIf(Forms!frm_rpt_main!check_type Is Null,"*",Forms!frm_rpt_main!type)) AND ((Customers.[Year End Month])=IIf(Forms!frm_rpt_main!check_month Is Null,"*",Forms!frm_rpt_main!month)));
However, the query only seems to want to pull data from all 3 combo boxes
My issue is that if a checkbox is not ticked, I want the values to be ignored for all 3 combo's.
I've attached a copy of the mdb file as my description probably doesnt make any sense, the specific query is "qry_select_month_partner_type_wname_frm_rpt"
Thanking you all in advance for your help!

I have a form that has seven unbound fields named txtCityCriteria1 through txtCityCriteria7
The idea is to have the use type in up to seven cities and have this applied to the criteria of the city field in a query. This query is the datasource for a report. I know how to do a single text ....
[Forms]![frm_OpenReport]![txtCityCriteria1]
in the criteria row would do the job. But how can I do seven?
Oh and if all are left blank i need it to open another form that informs them of their mistake.
I have looked through these forums and have found several possible solutions but I can not get any to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Take it easy on me I am relatively new to this code thing. Used to do everything in macros.

The problem i'm having is that i can get the date ranges to work, or the code to work, but not both of them. Here's what i have in my query:
