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.

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
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:
I'm trying to create a query that has a calculated field that shows a maximum value from multiple fields.
As far as I can find, this is not built into Access, so I've used this code from a Microsoft page:
Code:
Function Maximum(ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant)
' Declare the two local variables.
Dim I As Integer
Dim currentVal As Variant
' Set the variable currentVal equal to the array of values.
[code]....
The problem I'm having is, well this doesn't work for me.I'm a bit of an beginner VBA coder, but I understand this code and don't know why it won't work.It only displays the value from the field within the brackets.The values used are Dates, so I need to display the latest date from multiple fields.
I have created a combo box search for my form based on three categories, 'Student Name', 'Nationality', 'Age' using the wizard. When I click on my combo box in form view, I see 'Alex', 'UK', '19' and 'Stephen', 'Sweden', '22' in the dropdown list, but I do not see the headings 'Student Name', 'Nationality', 'Age' as the first item on the list.

I have a table of about 250 items that are sorted based on two fields. I created a query of the table and hide one of the fields because it is only there for sorting purposes to group the data.
For example, I have a "Type" field. In the type field, I differentiate the items with different categories, such as "Materials", "Safety", etc. My next field is "subtype" which assists the "Type" field being sorted properly for my needs. In the "Materials" category, all of the items are either "Fencing", "Plastic", "Wire", or "Miscellaneous". I am sorting the "type" and "subtype" fields in ascending order so that all the "materials" are grouped together, and all of the "fencing, "plastic", etc are grouped together within the materials field.
I am creating a printable report and I do not want the "subtype" field to be on the report, but I need the "subtype" field's sort to be affecting my data so it is grouped properly. I'm having difficulty, is there a way to hide fields in reports?
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?
Hi,
I currently have an employee database - all info is currently in one table.
I am wanting to create a search box in my form which allows me to search for multiple bits of information. ie. I would like to be able to type in either a first name, surname, full name, or employee id number (for example), press enter, and for it to display the results (either by going to the first that it finds, and me then clicking find next, or by displaying all found in an index so that you double click the one that you want - i am not too fussed... the main issue is getting the search box to look in multiple fields).
I currently have the following code:
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
DoCmd.GoToControl ("Surname")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind
'If FindRecord = True Then
'Exit Sub
'End If
DoCmd.GoToControl ("EIN")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind
'If FindRecord = True Then
'Exit Sub
'End If
DoCmd.GoToControl ("forename")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind
End Sub
(ignore the notes - they were trial and error for something else).
Currently, when i press find, this code will find the first of anything - ie i time in Frank and the first Frank will appear (unless someones surname begins with Frank). What i can't seem to do is get it to progress to the next record if i press a find next button.
I have also tried the following code, but it only works if i put in an EIN number:
Private Sub Findall_Click()
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
DoCmd.GoToControl ("ein")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind, acStart, acAll, True
Any thoughts? I think i'm probably looking at this in completely the wrong way.
Oh, also i am quite new to VB, so please forgive any silly questions that i am likely to ask!
Kind regards,
Fergus.
I have a button with this code attached
Dim SearchStr2 As String
SearchStr = "[PROTECHNIC_NUMBER] = " & "'" & Forms![FRMPATIENT]![Frm_ICP_Select].Form![Protechnic_Number] & "'" _
And "[ICP_Code]" = Forms![FRMPATIENT]![Frm_ICP_Select].Form![ICP_Code]
DoCmd.OpenForm "FRMASSESMENTHEAD", acNormal
Forms!FRMASSESMENTHEAD.Filter = SearchStr
Forms!FRMASSESMENTHEAD.FilterOn = True
If the button is clicked it should open the FRMASSESMENTHEAD form where the Protechnic Number (which is a text field) and the ICP Code(which is numeric) is the same as the ones on the current subform.
It works great if just using one of the criteria but when i put the and command in and then add the second criteria i get an erroer message saying
Run-time error '13':
Type mismatch
hope this makes sense and can anyone help :confused:
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!!
View 1 Replies View RelatedOk 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?

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.

hi. i'm a novice with Access so any explantions need to be pretty simple. I'm trying to create a query that searches 2 fields when 1 word is entered into a parameter value box..... would any1 hav a sugestion. please post a reply if you don't understant what i'm trying to achieve.
Thanks :)
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?

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, 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
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?
i have created a form for my database where i intend to give the user the option of searhing my more than one criteria but not all.
i have used a system of combo boxes for the user to enter thier choises leaving the combobox blank for any criteria they dont know.
the user then clicks th button to open the query
in the query i have set the criteria for the fields to equall the related combo bo in the form.
however if the comboboy is left blank (0 or null) the query looks for a record where that field is also null. as a result it wont return any records.
an example
on the table tblFault there is the record
FaultID; 7
Computer id; 2
Name; c
Room-ID; it1
Date Of Fault; 05/06/07
on the form the user enters the following values into the combobox
FaultID; 7
ComputerID;
Nme; c
Room-ID; it1
Date of Fault 05/06/07
the query returns no records insead of the record above.
this is because it is looking for a record in the table where the Computer-ID field contains a null value.
is ther a way to ignore the chriteria if the combobox contains a null value????
i have tried to use vb to convert all null values to be "Like "*"" but it keeps returning a type missmatch error but still changes to combo box value to ; Like .
Please help me !
I am in the process of creating a database in access to search for a persons name. However, the results will give many ansers. For example if I search for the srname 'jones' I get many names. I eed then to be able to select one of these jones's with the information relavent information.

OK - I'm kinda new to all this stuff (as you're about to find out from my question).
I've got a page with a search form, where visitors enter a search term. That page uses GET to pass the variable to the results page. The SQL on the results page is pretty simple, it just takes the variable from the URL and filters for records:
WHERE columnname CONTAINS
Request.QueryString("passedvariable")
So that all works fine - except that it does not allow for complex searches. If someone searches for 'fish' then that works fine. If someone searches for 'fish and food' then the search looks for "fish and food" somewhere in the record, rather than looking for both of those terms in a record.
Now, I'm guessing that there's no simple solution for who to get this to work, but I'm hoping that someone can help me out and at least point me in the right direction. I'd be happy to post additional code if you need it - but I don't even know what else to post!
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?
I have a form where a user enters data. One of the things the user enters is a "lot size". I need this lot size field to be checked against a query in the database to determine if the quantity is acceptable or not.
The order number in this query is in certain cases missing a leading zero, so I need to truncate this from the user entered form field.Finally I want the user to be notified if they are trying to exceed the lot size in the query.My code is as follows:
Code:
Public Function RemoveFirstChar(RemFstChar As String) As String
Dim TempString As String
TempString = RemFstChar
If Left(RemFstChar, 1) = "0" Then
If Len(RemFstChar) > 1 Then
TempString = Right(RemFstChar, Len(RemFstChar) - 1)
End If
End If

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?
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?
