TOP Keyword
Feb 18, 2008I have not found an easy way to do this yet.
Assuming I have my TOP 10 and ORDER BY parts correct, how can I absolutely restrict my results to exactly 10?
Thanks

Case Keyword
Jun 29, 2005Hi,
I'd like to know if the keyword CASE, or IF... is recognized in Access (sql) queries.
If not, wat should I do to implement a condition, in a query or in the source of a textbox in a report ?
The problem : I have a report that use this query in a calculated field, and I want to avoid results that are equal to zero (i.e.divising by zero).
Thanks :)

Keyword Search
Jul 13, 2005Hi all.
I want to set up a 'keyword search' facility on my dbase. I would like the user to enter a keyword in a dialog box and for this to then open my main FRMContractInfo form with a recordset that shows all the records where this word appears in any or each of four fields (Summary, Methodology, Lessons, Successes). I am a bit confused about how I should approach this, can someone offer me some advice?
Do I:
a) set up a Query that references the text box on the dialog box and code it as the open form's recordset
b) write the SQL for the form in the code?
Or are neither of these approaches correct? I've tried both and neither seem to work - but I think I've got my syntax all wrong because of trying to use Like and the wildcard (*) character...
Keyword Relationship
Dec 29, 2005:confused: I am trying to establish a relationship between two tables in a query. One table includes a keyword field which I would like link to a field the second table that contains the keyword as part of a longer string of text. For example the keyword is "rose" and a field in the second table may contain "my hobby is to grow roses" I can filter using *rose* with no problem and can use SQL to build a query but I get a "Query to complex" error and both the filter and SQL are tideous.
I'm stumped and would appreciate suggestions for any other way to approach this seemingly simple problem.
OR And LIKE When Searching With A Keyword
Feb 26, 2006Hello Access Fans!
I've got this query whereby i would like to find the address information about people by a keyword search on either their name or their quickname which currently looks like this:
SELECT Tbl_Addresses.*
FROM Tbl_Addresses
WHERE ((((Tbl_Addresses.Name)OR(Tbl_Addresses.Quickname) ) Like "*" & [Enter a Name] & "*"));
However this doesn't return any results? it works if i search for just the Tbl_addresses.Name or the Tbl_Addresses.Quickname but not for both? does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you

Set Visible By Keyword
Aug 16, 2005In my form, I have a combo box with one of three options (cash, check, reimbursement). If the user chooses check, I want a text box to become visible, so the user may input the check number.
I thought I could use another invisible text box to store the value of the combo box and then in the code put:
Private Sub Text64_AfterUpdate()
If Text64 = "Check" Then
Me.Check1.Visible = True
Else
Me.Check1.Visible = Refresh
End If
Me.Refresh
End Sub
Text64 is holding the value of the combo box
Check1 is the text box where I want the user to put the check number.
Please help. Thanks
Keyword Search!
Oct 17, 2005Im trying to add a keyword search to my page - I've added a button and it works fine in bringing up the "find" dialogue box.
However this defaults always to the "whole field" option, whereas what I want is it to default to "any part of field".
Can this be achieved, if not, is there another way of doing this?
Thanks

Keyword Search Query
Apr 21, 2006Hi
I hope someone can help me. I am using Access 2003 to create a database to keep a track of projects in my craft magazines.
I have a table that gives the magazine name, issue no, project name, page no and keywords. When I enter my data I will use various keywords to describe the project. For example, for a football card for a teenage boy I would use keywords such as football, boy and teenager.
What I need to be able to do is have a query based on this table that if I search for "football" it will pull up all records where I have used football as one of the keywords.
In my current query I can do this providing "football" is the only keyword I have used, but if I have used more than 1 keyword in my table then my query will not show any results.
Is there any way I can do this?
Hope you can understand what I am asking, and if someone can help, I would appreciate simple instructions as I am not very experienced with access
Thanks

Query To Do A Keyword Search
Jul 6, 2006How do I get a Query to do a keyword search in a Table? So far I get it to do a search but it has to match a specific Field in it's entirety.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMultifield Keyword Search
Jul 7, 2006HI, Im trying to create a keyword search based on the data in several fields. The below command works well for searching one field, but I want to search several at once. Any help would be great. Thanks!
What you need is a parameter query. In the criteria space in the desired field in your query, put the following: Like "*" & [Search by word:] & "*"
When you run the query, a message box will pop up that says "Search by word:", and then you could type in "mountain" or "goat" or even just type in one or two letters. To make it more/less specific, play around with those wildcards.
Keyword Search Query
Nov 13, 2007I would like to have a search box in which someone can type anything and it will search through a few tables to see if this word appears, and then return information from that record so I know who it belongs to. I have a query written that has all of the fields from all of the tables that I want the search to cover, but now I am having trouble connecting a button to the query so that it runs the query and puts the word as the "Like" criteria. I can make the button run the query, but I didn't know if I have to put Like * &[TextBoxName] & * in the criteria of each of the possible fields? I would appreciate your help with this. Thanks:)

Dec 22, 2007Hello all, once again I would very much appreciate anyones help on what may be quite a simple issue,, my problem (or one of!!) is as follows:
I have a table that contains approx 3k records I wan to run a query that allows me to select a certain number of fields with a group. From this I mean, I have all records grouped by discipline, firstly its easy for me to determine the discipline I require (I do this in the design view by adding the discipline number in the criteria row.) next I want to find a certain number of the records that are within my chosen discipline,, the records I wan to see all contain the word ‘alignment’. I tried entering ‘alignment’ on the criteria row but that didn’t get me anything,, the field that contains the word alignment also has many other words listed…

Keyword Search Problem

View 4 Replies View RelatedKeyword Seach In A Parameter Query
Jun 22, 2006I am a relatively novice access user with a question about a query I have built. The query is a parameter query that takes its query values from a form.
I have the query constructed at the moment so the user can search and any combination of fields using a date range, and three drop downs.
One of the fields in the table that I am querying is a text "Subject" field. I would like to add a keyword search upon this field into my existing query, as such I added a text box into my form, in which the user can type a keyword to search upon.
However, when I added the following criteria to the field in my query:
Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_find_log_entry]![Subject] & "*"
And then tried typing anything into my keyword search box on my form and run my query, I am returned with all results, rather than just results with the search words.
I have read a few strings on this subject. One from 2002 seemed to be on the right track but I was unable to understand it well enough to implement the suggested solution.
Any insight that could be provided on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Keyword Search Query (example Attached)
Mar 18, 2008Hi All,
As shown in the attached database, I have a multiple criteria query with a front end (see frmIssue). I am trying to add a keyword search on the field 'Issue' by having an unbound textbox in frmIssue and linking it with a 'Issue' field in the query 'MyQuery'.
An example search would be looking for an issue with the keyword 'misfiring' in project 'A'.
However, having tried the Like expression on the field 'Issue' a few times, I'm still having trouble making it work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Get A Multiple Keyword Search Query Working
Mar 4, 2013I am trying to get a multiple keyword search query working.... the single search is working however when i use the Multiple Keyword search the data sheet does pop up but no matter what i put in i just get a blank table and under ID it says "NEW"
The Keywords Column has a bunch of keywords separated by commas on each row. Sometimes there will be the same keywords on different rows under the keyword column... and i want it to return any rows that have 1 or more of the keywords in it or if it is null just to return them all....... this is the statement I am trying...
SELECT Sea.ID, Sea.Category, Sea.Title, Sea.Author, Sea.Organisation, Sea.Date, Sea.Keywords, Sea.Reference
FROM Sea
WHERE (((InStr([Keywords separated by commas,Blank=All],[Keywords]))>0 Or (InStr([Keywords separated by commas,Blank=All],[Keywords])) Is Null));
Queries :: Performing Keyword Searches Of Text Field
Nov 16, 2014I am trying to perform some keyword searches of a text field. My preferred option would be to hold all the keywords in a separate table and then use something like
SELECT * FROM Text Table, Keywords Table WHERE (((InStr[Text Table].[Text],[Keywords Table].[keywords])) > 0 ));
This works and returns anything which has the string from the keyword table, however I wanted to look for whole words only. I can do this in SQL using a regular expression along the lines of [!a-z] keyword [!a-z] which only finds the string where it has no letters directly either side of it.
What I would like to do is combine the two methods so I hold my keywords in a table and then use them with the reg ex to find whole words only.
Forms :: Checkbox / List Box And Unbound Keyword Search
Aug 7, 2013I'm relatively new to Access 2010. I have an excel spreadsheet that I've converted into an access table for the purposes of creating a user friendly form for the end user to search for relevant criteria to retrieve a list of records that fit the requests. There are two main search functions: unbound keyword search (90+ keywords), and either a series of checkboxes or one list box that lists specific countries/regions matched in a column (columns, as I will get to shortly). The region selection is bound by a selection of 15 countries.
The key is each record can correspond to more than one country. This, one record can have "Belgium, Germany, brazil" and the next record can just have "brazil". Thus if someone selects brazil, the query must retrieve the Belgium Germany brazil record in addition to the record that covers just brazil. I've tried to do this with a concatenated column that list all countries and a text box search, I've tried to do this with individual checkbox columns for each country with checkboxes in the search form...and I can't get it to work. I don't fully understand the criteria to set for checkboxes or list boxes. What would be the best way to build this form, an how?
Modules & VBA :: Difference Between Two Variations - Using New Keyword To Create Instance Or Using Set
Nov 20, 2013what the difference between the two variations of using the New keyword to create a new instance and using the Set. I mean Code 1 would always be better because you dont have to ever use the Set keyword
1.Code:

2.Code:
Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
Set wb = New Excel.Workbook
Are there benefits and cons to both i.e. memory allocation etc..
Queries :: Keyword Search - Find Field Names Of True Checkboxes
Jul 10, 2013I've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.
Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.
Modules & VBA :: Enter A Keyword Or Phrase And Search 3 Memo Fields And Filter Records Found
Nov 7, 2013I am trying to provide the user a custom search feature. They want to enter a keyword or phrase and search 3 memo fields and filter the form base on the records found. they also want to be able to search the whole phrase or any part of the phrase.
I have a like expression for any part of the phrase but I when I set it up for whole phrase it doesn't work. Even if I run a simple query and use
For example: There's an acronym the user is looking for : ACA
If I set my query up like this: [field1] like "*ACA*" or [field2] like "*ACA*" or [field3] like "*ACA*"
it not only finds records with that acronym but it also finds records where that combination is found in a word, for instance vacate.
How can I set up my query to find the whole word?
