Using Subform For Search Criteria And Relating One Search Field To Several Columns

Apr 21, 2015

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.

Create Drop Down That Has 2 Columns And Search On Unbound

Apr 17, 2013

I'm working in Access 2010. I have a simple form that is bound to table "Jobs" in which the key field is job number.

I want to create a search drop down. I need it to display both the job number and the customer name; and I would like the user to be able to start typing the customer name in the dropdown and for the drop down to pull it up as I'm typing it.

I create a simple query for the row source of my drop down:

SELECT Jobs.Job_Number, Customers.Customer_Name
FROM Jobs LEFT JOIN Customers ON Jobs.Job_Number = Customers.Job_Number;

When I run the query, I get both columns. I set the bound column to 1.

Column count = 2.
Column widths =1";1"

Go to run it and it displays only the job number in the drop down after I select. In addition, it does not filter at all.

Search Criteria

Oct 21, 2005

Hi,

I have a search query (query by form) which is picking up keywords from a form and displaying matching results.

I want to add a tick box to the form, and if this tick box is ticked, I want the search to only include results which have a certain field NOT blank.

ie.

frmSearch will have tick box named "Website"

If "Website" is ticked on the form and the QBF run, the query will only show those records which have information in the field "Website Address" in the table tblPublication.

If the "Website" tick box it NOT ticked, the query will show all records, regardless of having information in the field "website address" or not.

can i do this in the criteria of the query?

I don't really want to do it by having a seperate query which is run by a seperate "Search" button on the form - this would be possible by having a 2nd search button (titled "Search for results with website") run a different query which has the critera that the field "Website Address" is not null.

I dont really want to have a seperate button and query as it makes it a bit messy - would rather the one query look up if the tick box, and if "ticked" then display only those with content in "website address" field, and if not ticked, display all regardless of content of field "website address".

any ideas?!

Cheers

amx

Multiple Search Criteria

Apr 26, 2005

Wonder if you guys can help me with something. I have a table with about 1200 guests, what I want to do is to search the table base on different criteria (or combination of criteria), namely phone #, name, street name, and postal code. Not everyone has all this info, and their names aren't separted into proper lastname or firstnames (old data).

What I want to do is to be able to type in a person's first name, last name, or both (an maybe other info if the first search wasn't successful).

http://www.psynic.com/files/access.jpg

What should I do to implement this? I was thinking of running 4 different queries, and interesect them into the final query. What do you think?

Search Query Criteria

Jul 3, 2006

Hi guys,

Cant seem to work this one out. I have quite a complex search form. The underlying query displays the results in a list box on the same form.

So far I have used the following expression for all the fields on my form (whether text or integer values):
Like "*" & [Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![AssetName] & "*"

This appeared to work correctly. However, now my Asset Management System is storing a number of Equipment Type's. As one of the query criteria is Equipment Type ID it means that selecting PC (1) also displays the details for Printer (11), Scanner (12) etc......

I know why it does this (because these numbers start with a 1 and I am using a like expression). However I cannot seem to get it working.

The equipment type value is present in every record so I dont think I can use =FormValue or FormValue Is Null. I did try:
=[Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![EquipmentType] Or
Like "*" & [Forms]![Frm_FrmSearch]![EquipmentType] & "*"

but it seemed to skip the first parameter and still displayed printers etc. as before.

Any ideas?

Search Criteria Question

Sorry if this is an easy question, but I've been racking my brain trying to get this one.

I have a reference table of sales agents and assigned territories. Ex -

Agent Territory
Tom Smith IN, MI, TN, AR
Deb Jones IA, KS, NE, MO

Now I want to assign agents to a list of prospects based on their state id. However, I can't just join the state field from the prospects table to this reference table. How can I get this to work? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Search Query On 3 Criteria

Dec 5, 2007

Hello,

I have a feeling this may be easier than I expect however I am at a standstill.

I have a Query that is called from an unbound list box when data is typed into one or all three unbound txtBoxes "txtLastName" ,"txtFirstName", and "txtVIN" the query populates the listbox almost as it should..

The purpose is to identify duplicate entries based on three critera, last name, first name and VIN with the VIN bieng an execption meaning that if the VIN does not match I still want the matched first and last names to remain in view..

When I open the form where the list and text boxes are all records show in the listbox and as I begin to type the last name all records that do not match that critera are dropped, the same goes for the first name this works great. Once I get to the VIN however if there is no match I loose all three and the listbox is empty.

Is there a way to maintain matched names in the list view eventhough there is no match for the VIN?

Below is the code I am using in the Query Design, it is the same for all three fields Lastname, FirstName and VIN.


Like "*" & [Forms]![frm NewOrderVINVerify]![VinToFindFen] & "*"

Thanks!

Criteria And IIf In Search Page

Mar 20, 2008

I have a form with drop down boxes that list 3 related fields and I have a search button that will requery based on the the input from these boxes. These boxes are all prepopulated with the data and I want to be able to select something from Box1 and then based off Box1 change whats populated in Box2 and Box3. Any idea's???

I already have a query setup like this to requery a query I make:
( I have a button that initiates the requery based off what input is given)
Box1:

IIf(IsNull([Forms]![FormName]![Combo1]),[Field1],[Forms]![FormName]![Combo1])

Box2:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![FormName]![Combo2]),[Field2],[Forms]![FormName]![Combo2])

Box3:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![FormName]![Combo3]),[Field3],[Forms]![FormName]![Combo3])

Problem with this is that is does not requery correctly and it only filters on one of the criteria ( Field1) and spits out all records for the other two?

So I figured since I already populate the drop downs with the records why not just change the contents of the drop downs?
If anyone can give me some insight it would be much appreciated?

Thanks in advance.

Multiple Search Criteria

Jul 25, 2005

Hi,

I have a form on which I have about 6 combo-boxes and a set of 3 radio buttons.

I'm to the point that all the querys that fill these combo-boxes are in place.


What I want now is a search button that updates a datagrid under it when clicked. The query in this datagrid needs to be parameterised with the selected values in the comboboxes or radio buttons.
It should be possible to only select one combobox before pressing update.

At this point I placed a subform in the form to bind this query to. ( the datagrid I need).
Is a subform the correct object for this or are there other possibilities?

For some boxes only a line to the where clausule of the SQL statement needs to be added. For some other (one) and the radio buttons a join needs to be made with another table.
So I will have to build my sql statement dynamicaly in some vba code, run it when the search button is clicked and refresh the datagrid.

Does ab has a sample database in which such a search form is being used?

I must have downloaded like 10 sample DB's now but nothing I can use...

all help or advise greetly appreciated.

Multi Criteria Search

Oct 25, 2005

Hello,

I have been trying to produce a front end for a multi criteria search. I have used one of the sample databases from the site and amended the code as necessary, but obviously not correctly. I can't get it to show me the records based on my search criteria.

I would be grateful if somebody could have a look and let me know what I've done wrong (cut down DB attached). If I can crack this I want to do another multicriteria search for other parameters.

One other question - is it possible to take those filtered records and dump them into a report? For example, say I select one parameter and want tpo print all records associated with that parameter?

Thanks

Help Writing Search Criteria

Dec 7, 2005

I am using the below code to open a form from a search form. This code works well because I could leave a search field blank, and the code would treat the blank search fields as a wild card search. Here is the problem; I want to be able to search a range of ages in addition to lastname and first name. I added two fields (“AgeStart”, “AgeEnd”) in the search form and added ([age]>= '" & Me.AgeStart & "*'and and [age]<= '" & Me.AgeEnd & "*'") to the end of the stLinkCriteria. This addition works well if there is an age range is entered into the search fields. If nothing is entered into the age range fields of the search form, access does not treat the empty age range fields as wild card like the other fields. I would like Access to treat the empty age range fields as a wild cards search. Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about doing this? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "Personnel_frm"
stLinkCriteria = "[last]like '" & Me.lastname & "*' and [first]like '" & Me.firstname & "*'"

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal, stLinkCriteria

VBA - Search Button To Search Entire Records / Runtime Error 3345

Jun 18, 2014

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?

Modules & VBA :: Search Code Deactivates Navigation Buttons When Search Results Are Longer Than A Page

Jun 24, 2015

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.

Queries :: Add A Box On Search Forms To Search 3 Cells Of Record For A Keyword

Jun 10, 2013

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.
