Unable To Search For Critera
Mar 17, 2008
Hi everyone
I have a database that I built myself and use on a daily bases for keeping track of customers and there service records for a small sized plumbing and drainage firm. The database has a function that is designed to automatically search for upcoming boiler services that are due or over due which works fine, However we use acronym's to describe some routine jobs such as B/S (Boiler Service) or H/R (Heating repairs) which speeds up data entry. The problem is that Access refuses to search for the acronym's, I have tried basic text search critera's which brings up full words fine such as "Smith".
Is there a way of searching for the acronym's like B/S?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm trying to search a for string within a subform to find information stored on the mainform to which the particular subform belongs.
The problem is that the subform is generated from a query which uses a number from the main form to generate.
So the subform record is only generated when the correct mainform record associated with it is loaded.
Now to solve my problem I've made a new query that brings up ALL the results that could be generated by the main form and from that I can search to find my search term I'm after and read off the ID number to tie it back to the mainform.
But all of this is done manually, I want a way to do all this using VBA in a way that the user can't edit any records as they are doing it.

Hello,
I first want to thank the owners of this forum for keeping it up and the bright users who post replues I have gotten a lot of useful info thus far. I have a small issue I've been working on for a few days now. I just can't seem to find the correct syntax to accomplish it. Any I have a table which has customer contact info as well as sales numbers. I have a form which my users can search contact info. However I've been unable to allow the users to search for sales dollar volume. Basically the form sends the critera to the query. I've tried getting the between to work but I'm doing something wrong. Below is my VB code attached to the search button. The red bold line is the problem. If I just take the line out then open the query manually and type between "0" and "1000" it works fine. But if I type my form txt box names I get a message saying type mismatch in critera expressiong. So I think it's my syntax.

Form opens, you type the last name parameter of client
Last Name: Smith
Click a button named Search- opens the query and filters it by the criteria (last name). You see the query with all records with the last name Smith. I may want to add the first name in the form along with the last name. Does anyone no how to do this?

Hi,
I am trying to set the criteria in a query, referencing a control on a form. The control is a combo box and I am trying to use the second column to filter data in the query.
EG. Forms!FromName!ComboBox.Column(1)
However the query doesn't accept it. I get an error saying:
Undefined Function 'Forms!FromName!ComboBox.Column' in expression.
How do I reference the control properly please.
Thanks

Please advise, how do I set up a form for this:
Based on one particular report style, have multi select criteria to produce user selected criteria
based on selections from a. Interest, b. State, c. Type
Report 1. sorts on Interest, 2. sorts by State, 3. sorts by Type ... and each report includes selections of the other 3 selections plus basic data common to all.
Plus, the Interests have a table where the main interest data is stored in a ContactInterest table, while the specific interest selections, per contact, are stored in the Contact table as Interest_1 through Interest_20.
In the Report, when it is sorted by Interest, while I have a concantated output for 5 of the selections, they also, want to sort alphabetically by the interest selections (which changes per Contact).
There is already a form for printing reports that are more static, and I wanted to add these selections on that form, perhaps as a subform, to allow printing of the reports, mentioned, and associated mail labels to the targeted addresses per group.
Any help, direction, guidance, or redirection would really help and is MUCH appreciated. I've tried many options, and as a newbie, have not yet found a solutions- or solutions.
Thank you so much. (time is of the essence and my skills are small so far.)

Hi! I have a query setup that feeds off of three combo boxes on a form. It is setup to allow a user to search and calculate revenue for a selected time period by company, then department, then page. If all three or just company are selected, there are no issues running the data. However, if only company and department is selected I receive an 'ODBC--Call Failed' message. The issues seems to be stemming from the department field as I can link the department table to the main table and the query will run without error. The problem with that bandaid is that the query takes more than 15 minutes to run that way as opposed to about 2 minutes to pull more data at the company level.
Any suggestions on why this is happening or a fix that can be put in place? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I can provide more details if needed. Thanks!

why the code below is not functioning properly. When I type in an acronym in the textbox, it keeps saying there is an error "Run-time error '3345': Unkown or invalid field reference 'ABO'." I do have ABO in the field.
The dysfunctional code:
Code:
Private Sub btnFind_Click()
If (TxtFind & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[Acronym] = " & TxtFind
[Code] .....
The red highlighted line is where the debugger leads me to. Something with identifying the field? I would like to enable the search procedure to search throughout the entire records rather than just a specific field. How may I write such a line or two?

I have a form that has a subform on it. The main form shows a category of furniture and has custom navigation buttons and a search text box for asset numbers and command button that runs the search. The subform shows the asset numbers associated with that furniture category, sometimes there is only one asset number, in other cases there could be 60. There is a scroll bar to scroll through the asset numbers when there are too many to see in the initial window.
The buttons all work as they should except when I search for an asset number that is part of a category that has too many asset numbers to show in the main window. When this happens the "previous" and "next" navigation buttons do not take you to the previous or next record. All of the other buttons on the form work though - you can go to the first, or the last record, and you can search for a new asset.This is the code for the search:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAssetSearch_Click()
Dim rs As Object
If IsNull(Me.TextAsset) Or Me.TextAsset = "" Then
MsgBox "Please type in an asset number to search for.", vbOKOnly
Me.TextAsset.SetFocus
[code]....
I've also attached a picture of what I mean when I say there are more asset numbers than what the window shows.

I currently have a database with a few search forms. I recently attempted to add a box on one of my search forms to search 3 cells of a record for a key word. What happens is when I go to search, say for P0442, it does not bring up all of the records that contain that keyword in the 3 cells I have outlined. If I step down the code in the OR boxes of the query, it seems to work better but then for some reason my other search criteria , (Tracking number etc) does not work. I will upload the database for reference. I am currently working on the Search(View Only) and that is where you will find the query to work on.

I have a search form that uses a query to show results of a search, but everytime I press search everything comes up even though I have entered search parameters, even though my search requeries every time and the search used to work before I added new records today. Also when I press the query alone on the navigation pane it asks me for the parameters and then it actually works but it won't when I use my form.

1. I created a form with some search-fields which are related to a query. Then I added a Subform in which I put some more Search criteria (So that I can easily hide and unhide those additional searchfields). It sounds strange but is necessary ;-). Now I related those searchfields in the subform to the same query. When I run that query a window pops up that I should put in a value in all those searchfields which are in the subform. But I told Access that it should display all rows, if there is no value in those searchfields. Just as I did it with the Searchcriteria in the Main form. Do I have to do something special, when I have a query which is related to two Forms?
2. I want a searchfield to search in three different columns. Usually the value will just be found in one of those columns. As the Table I search is very long and has many searchfields and multiple of those will relate to more than one column, is there an easy way to do it in VBA? As I did it by using the "or" field when designing a query, but this seems very slow and unstable.

I have a database that uses four forms and each form has it's own table and each form has it's own search button to find a specific record within that table. I would like to use one search button that will look at all four tables and bring up the correct record when the request number is entered. Can I link all the tables to perform this or is code required? Can someone send me in the right direction for how to do this? Give me an example of code if it's required?
Thanks for any help I can get.

So basically, what I have is a bunch of words in one memo field, for example:
dog cat cowboy tree flower
To search it, this is the code I have now.
' Check for LIKE Last Name
If Me.txtLastName > "" Then
varWhere = varWhere & "[LastName] LIKE """ & Me.txtLastName & "*" * " AND "
End If
The only problem is what I search for needs to be "in order", for example, if I search for dog, I'll get the table. But, if I seach for tree, I won't because tree was not place first. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone,
Can anyone help?
I have a data entry form via which I want to add records to a table. However, when I've entered data in the last field, the cursor remains there and the system just beeps. I added a command button on the form to go to a new record but when I click on the button i get the following message:-
You can't go to the specified record
You may be at the end of a recordset
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Created three tables and one linking table, created two queries linked to a form to display the results and have now setup the code to display details. Next step to create a form to add a new record to the database.
Initially I used the form wizard, dragged the fields in and then viewed the form to see if I could add a record.However the new record button at the bottom is greyed out.I checked the Form properties and allow editions, deletions and edits are all set to yes.the source for the form is:
Code:
SELECT [tblGraves].[Plot], [tblGraves].[GraveNo], [tblGraves].[GraveID], [tblDeceased].[Forenames],
[tblDeceased].[Surname], [tblDeceased].[DayOfDeath], [tblDeceased].[MonthOfDeath],
[tblDeceased].[YearOfDeath], [tblDeceased].[DayOfBurial], [tblDeceased].[MonthOfBurial],
[tblDeceased].[YearOfBurial], [tblDeceased].[Age], [tblDeceased].[pp], [tblDeceased].[Notes],
[Code] .....
and it is a dynaset record set type.So I thought ( dangerous I know) use a query, I created the query setup the joins etc etc.I double clicked on the query and all my records were listed, I then selected the new record and the bottom but that is greyed out as well.

The Word attachment describes recent problems I have encountered, most significantly, the inability to save changes on certain forms. the questions, listed at the end of the document, are:
a) How can I identify which objects are corrupt other than assuming it is only those that wont save changes?
b) What is the best way to overcome the inability to make form changes on certain forms and reports?
c) How or can I continue to use the Students Extended query with different criteria for different forms, other queries or reports. Can I create (advanced) filter queries and use as a record source for each as needed?
d) Do the messages about the PC making changes or placing the database in states have any bearing and why is that happening?
e) What causes and how can I prevent messages that fields could refer to more than table (see 2, D, vi)?
