I have a combobox with 2 columns where I manually set the following criteria:
"E";"English"
"F";"French"
"EF";"Bilingual"
In my employee table under the Languages field I have E,F or EF
I wanted to display in a sub-form a list of employees who speak a specific language but I can't use a wildcard in the combo-box properties. Basically when someone is looking for an English speaking employee they should get both E and EF employees not only E.
I tried doing "E*";"English" but it doesn't display anything.
I have a form which has a combobox called Task_Ref which looks up values in a table column.
I would like to be able to set the tickbox value of tickbox called P1 to True if the combobox contains the word "test", each entry on the combobox selection may vary such as:-
Test number 1 Yesterdays Test
As long as the word "Test" appears I would like the above to happen?
I was thinking of something along the lines of:-
If InStr(Task_Ref.Value, "Test") > 0 Then P1.Value = True Else P1.Value = False End If End Sub
i'm tryin to create one that if i search for like let say "brisbane" it would show the results of the complete spelling, but let say if i was to just type "b" or "bris" it would show u a list of "B" towns or matching words of "bris".
I have a field in a table that has the following data in it:
W-01-2005 W-02-2005 W-03-2005 W-04-2005 etc..
I created a query against this table and put a pop-up on this field so they can enter the search criteria needed, or leave blank for all.
I'd like to modify this pop-up code to ignore the W- and -2005. When the pop-up appears and asks them what week they want, I'd like for them just to enter 01 or 02 or 03 etc... not W-01, W-02 etc..
I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate() If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable" Else If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable" End If End If End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I am running a query that links to a "wildcard" form so that the user can basically run a query filtered on any field they want.
For some reason when I try to use wildcards along with Criteria in my query the query will not return any results. I know the link to the textbox is right because if I take out the wildcard and put an exact word from the table I get a result.
I have tried using many different combinations inclusive of the following:
Like [Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name] Like "[Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]" "[Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]" [Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]
Any help would be appreciated, as always thank you ahead of time.
I have several queries looking up products from a table. I use a simple form to access the query and in the criteria of the field I use [Forms]![EnterCroft]![ProductName] to filter by name. (EnterCroft is the name of the form).
It works fine but doesn't like the asterisk (*) for all products.
I also want to use wildcard before and after key words in the product names, eg *cup* for anything with CUP in it's name.
ok in access 2003 i have tried everything to get the Like "*oak*" to work but to all fail it replaces "Like" with "ALike" i have tried to find some info on this but have not it seams like something easy i wanted to do.
SELECT MainData.ModelName FROM MainData WHERE (((MainData.ModelName) ALike "*oak*"));
some reason it wont find all data with "oak" in it just returns empty
this is like query 101 but for some reason it has stumped me, along with one other problem but i am still researching that one.
This is making me mad now :mad: i want a query to search for what a user inputs into the query. but for example if i seach in a field wheres there is one or more words in it. eg. I want to search my table for a address (60 donnington road etc) so in the user input box i type "donnington" but i get no results even though it should find "60 Donnington Road"
code i used. [Please enter address] now where does the wild card go?!?!
Hey everyone, I've been busy creating a switchboard based on database, and I came across this issue. When I put a search through records command button, it seems that I can't use the wildcard characters, such as *,%,_ in order to find multiple records matching my criteria.
Am I supposed to "enable" them from somewhere or am I doing something wrong.
I get a response saying it cannot find the file and it shows the * in the path it cannot find. How can I make it find the right file?There are more files in the folder and the (ZZ131008) defines that course, I'd like to reuse the code for the other courses too.
How would I modify multiple comboboxes in subforms at the same time. For example.. In main form ComboboxA user selects 1992, Combobox1 in subform1 is also changed to 1992, as well as Combobox2 in subform 2.
I have a query that prompts with a parameter box for the field Contributor_ID. Contributor_ID is a numeric field & Key and I use it to allow the user to print a report based on which Contributor_ID value the user enters. This works fine. However, I would like the user to have the option to enter * and then have the report include ALL the contributor IDs. I have done this before on a text field without a problem, however is this not possible on a numeric field as it is not working? I'm trying not to have another version for the ALL option.
If this is not possible, are there any alternatives?
Hello, I am not sure if this is possible, but I am running an update query to add text in a field if a certain criteria is met. However, if the field I am adding to already contains what I am trying to add, i don't want it to add it again. Everything works fine except the IIF statement in my update field. Here is what I have:
If the field contains the text V3, I want it to be left alone and continue to show what is already in the field, if not, i want it to add V3 to the end.
Just been searching around, found a few posts of uppercase questions, none that quite fit with mine, anyway,
Basically, the data I am working on produces names as such "JoeBloggs" "FredPerry"
Anyway, Im going to use a query to seperate these out into first name and last name, but, I can't seem to find a way to specify a capital letter as a wild card. So far:
CapPos: InStr(2,[calllogs]![CalledNumber],"A")
Then I am going to use the mid function to seperate the two, depending on the position of the first capital letter.
But I just need to replace "A" with something that will find any capital letter.
I have a SQL that enables the user to search the form from different combo boxes to narrow down the data. I can get this to work but it only finds the fields that exactly match their input data. I want them to be able to type something in the combo box and then it pull up anything with that value in that field, whether it is 1839B or B1839 it should find both if I type in 1839
Here is my sql statements
SELECT DISTINCT [WeldingSpecification].[Spec], [WeldingSpecification].[Steel Type], [WeldingSpecification].[Group11], [WeldingSpecification].[Group143], [WeldingSpecification].[Substitute1] FROM WeldingSpecification WHERE ((([spec] & "") Like IIf([Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![spec] Is Null,"*", [Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![Spec] & "*")) And (([SteelType] & "") Like IIf([Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![SteelType] Is Null,"*",[Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![SteelType] & "*")) And (([Group11] & "") Like IIf([Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![Group11] Is Null,"*",[Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![Group11] & "*")) And (([Group143] & "") Like IIf([Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![Group143] Is Null,"*",[Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![Group143] & "*")) And (([Substitute1] & "")([spec] Like "*" & Forms![frmSearchCriteriaMain]!Spec & "*" & "") Like IIf([Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![Substitute1] Is Null,"*",[Forms]![frmSearchCriteriaMain]![Substitute1] & "*"))
Any help is appreciated, please ask if you do not understand fully
I am trying to use a Switch expression as a column heading in a crosstab query to generate statistics for how much work is done per client (Requester). Each requester is referred to by acronym, so it may look like "DOD/OUSD/FTT/ATA/B", but I want that column to include everything that starts with DOD, instead of listing each instance separately. This is my expression so far:
When I run the query, the column "ATAP" shows up perfectly with all the correct info, but it's as if I never entered "DOD*". Nothing appears, and since I didn't add anything in the Switch function for what to do with other requesters, the second column shows up as <>.
Do wildcard *'s not work in Switch functions? I don't get any errors, but this is definitely not the information I'm looking for.
Is there any other way to include all Requesters that start with DOD in one column?
This is my SQl if that's helpful: TRANSFORM Sum([Q and D Database].[Word Count]) AS [SumOfWord Count] SELECT [Q and D Database].[Source/Target] FROM [Q and D Database] WHERE ((([Q and D Database].[Out Date]) Between #1/1/2006# And #12/31/2006#)) GROUP BY [Q and D Database].[Source/Target] ORDER BY [Q and D Database].[Source/Target], Switch([Requester]="DOD*","DOD",[Requester]="DS/ATA","ATAP") PIVOT Switch([Requester]="DOD*","DOD",[Requester]="DS/ATA","ATAP");
I know I have seen post close to this one but not hitting what I need. I currently have a query that is structured as such... Service: IIf([Serv] Like '*AA*',' Bas ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*AB*','Exp ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*CA*',' Dig ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*89*',' 384 ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*8H*',' 3M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*?5*',' 5M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*=W*',' 10M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*<1*',' Tele ','') Works great except for the last IIF stmt has now been changed to look for the code *6 - not wildcard6 - How can I get Access to realize that I need it to look for anything to the left or right but it must find the *6 This IIf([serv] Like '**6*',' Tele ','') wont work b/c I have other codes that end in 6.
I am setting up my own switchboard, and i have a quick jump menu that has every page on it. The pages are arranged as so:
1 1.1 1.2 1.3 2 2.1 2.2 3
When i'm setting up my code to push a person to a certain page, I want it to first check their access level (which is stored in a table in my database)
Is there a wildcard character in vb that will cover all the submenu's? (I.E. Code:If MainMenu = "1*" And Userlevel = "PublicAccess" Then MsgBox "You do not have access to this area"End If)
Instead of having to put an if statement for every submenu under 1?
I have a form with subform which use six fields on the form to determine what data is returned in the subform. As long as every field has a valid entry the data is returned correctly. What I would like to add to this is if a particular criteria field is left blank it will return all values in that field. The current SQL Statement looks like this:
SELECT QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.FINISH, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.SIZE, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.COLOR, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.BASISWGT, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.PRODUCT_LINE, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.MWIEGHT, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.DFLT_VENDOR_ID, * FROM QryItemQtyProductLineLinked WHERE (((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.FINISH)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchProduct]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.SIZE)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchSize]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.COLOR)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchColor]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.BASISWGT)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchBWeight]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.PRODUCT_LINE)=[forms]![frmproductlinelookup]![MatchProduct]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.MWIEGHT)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchMWeight]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.DFLT_VENDOR_ID)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchVendor]));
