Converting Filter From Wild Card To Extact Match

Aug 30, 2006

I have a search box and it looks up project id number.
the orginal code works but filters anything with that particular number.

I like to adjust the filter to equal to the number enter.

ex,, I enter 22 , i get records with 622, 223, etc
I want it to be only 22

I can't seem to figure this out.. here's te code

Private Sub txtSearchString_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object

LSearchString = txtSearchString

'Filter results based on search string
LSQL = "select * from [Projects - Active]"
LSQL = LSQL & " where ID LIKE '*" & LSearchString & "*'"

Form_frmSearch_sub.RecordSource = LSQL

lblTitle.Caption = "Project ID: Filtered by '" & LSearchString & "'"

'Clear search string
txtSearchString = ""

End Sub

Using A * (Wild Card) In Pop Up Box?

Aug 3, 2004


Is it possible to use a * (Wild Card) in a pop up box for a query?

I read the previous post about pop up boxes for quires and it worked worked great! I created one for my month field

My criteria in my search fieled is a follows:
05-May
06-June
07-July
08-August
etc...

As you can see someone would have to type a 08-August to get the results for August, can a wild card be used? Example 08* would return all of 08-August data. I tried it but it wouldn't return any data.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Scott

Wild Card In IIF Statement

Jan 28, 2008

I am using a criteria entry form as the source of parameters for a select query, and I am using IIF statements in the query so that if the user does not want to specify for that particular field, the search still works based on the other parameters specified. Therefore the statement I am using is;

IIf([Forms]![Criteria Form]![Customer Account] Is Not Null,[Forms]![Criteria Form]![Customer Account],[Data]![Customer Account]).

This works.

However for some of the criteria I want to also use wild cards, so that the user can enter just part of the data, and the relevant records will be returned. I understand that wild cards cannot be embedded into the IIF statement above.

I have tried many methods, and trawled the web for ideas, but I cannot get this to work. I either want the user to enter the wild card themselves ie "100*" returning records starting with "100", or for the query to append the wild card itself.

Can someone help please?

Wild Card Name Searching Help

Feb 27, 2008

How would I make a query find a person like this:

Inputted Data: Smit
Outputted Data: Smith, Smithy etc..

The formula I have entered in the criteria of my query is:
Like [Enter the person's last name]

With this formula, if I type Smith, then the data that comes out is Smith. But if I type in smit or smi, Smith doesnt come out.

Thanks.

Wild Card Searches

Jun 22, 2005

Ive read loads of posts about Wildcard searches but am unable to find the answer to my problem. In one of my boxes on my search form the user places in the search criteria value, this can be from A1 - A16 all the way to G16. At the moment i'm using this as my seasrch query:

[Forms]![Search]![BoxNo]

So if I put in C1 then I get all the C1's, great. If I want to wildcard then I put in Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![BoxNo] &"*", and again it works, this time it call enything with C1 in it i.e C13.

How can I adjust my query to do both, sometimes I only want the exact match othertimes I want to wildcard :confused:

Wild Card On Search Form Issue

Nov 3, 2007

Hi all,

I need a little help with a wild card issue, Ive looked and looked and cant spot whats wrong.

I have two forms "Requisitioner" & "Engineers", each form has a subform.
These are basic search forms (unbound) that find related records in the subforms. The work is done in the query of the subform and then the form is refreshed. I have used this approach many many times without issue until now.

If the engineers form is opened "G*" is entered into the text box then all the entries beginning with "G" are found in the subform.

If the "*" is then removed from the text box leaving "G" no results are found in the subform, (Working Correctly)

Now if the "*" is added again "G*" then the subform shows all the entries beginning with "G"


Everything is good with the Engineers Form, If the same steps are made on the Requisitioners form after adding the "*" again no records are displayed.

I could change the way this works by doing a recordset find but i really want to know why this is working on one form but not on another.

I would appreciate any help with this.

Garry

I want to prompt the user to enter a merchant name, but want the results to return close matches.I know how to use the wildcard in the Criteria field of the query, but I want to use brackets.I know that "*Southwest*" Will return Southwest Airlines.So I tried *[Southwest Airlines]* and it treats the criteria like a text string.

Forms :: Hyphen Not As Wild Card Character

May 18, 2013

I have a series of dates that I inherited from former DB. Some of the dates are Mon-Fri, Mon-Thu, Sun-Fri, etc. That is, there is a hyphen "-" in the middle of the text. I have an unbound control with an IIF statement using the LIKE condition, I just get an error. I tired the following to no avail. Using Access 2010.

IIF([Day1] Like "*-*", 5, 1)
IIF([Day1] like "-", 5, 1)
IIF ([Day1] like '-', 5, 1)
IIF ([Day1] like [-], 5, 1)

I've looked it up and the hyphen _ is used as a wild card character, but I need to include it just as a dash.

Date / Time With A Wild Card As Criteria In Query?

Apr 21, 2015

How may I write a criteria in the query where I can pull records with date/time data type (01/31/15 1:30:23 PM) based on today's date?

Example using today's date (4/21/15):

Date()= 4/21/15

The query will pull these records:
ABC 4/21/15 9:14:40 AM
DEF 4/21/15 10:50:02 AM
GHI 4/21/15 2:32:35 PM
etc.

The time does not matter as long as the date is 4/21/15.

I have tried using these formulas:
=Date() & *
=Date(Now)

but these are no success.

General :: Subform Query Filter Do Nothing If Not Exact Match

May 28, 2014

there are certain txt boxes that once filled out, will filter a subform of a table of 1000's of records to give them a number to use on the form around 200 of the records have a depot in the "depot" field on the table, when they input a depot, it filters to them 200 fine if a depot is there,

what i want is, when they input the depot, if its there, filter it, if its not, to do nothing, as they could still get a unique number if the depot isnt in the list what happens now is, if the depot isnt in the list, it displays no records

Field : Fld_Depot
Table : Tbl_Agreement_Summary
Show : False
Criteria : Like "*" & SearchForText([Forms]![Frm_New_Accounts]![Fld_Depot]) & "*"
Or : Is Null

Forms :: Automatically Filter Combo To Show Only Projects That Match Training Type

Sep 13, 2014

I've attached a rudimentary example db to give an example of what I'm trying to achieve.

There is a form on the db called Resourcing with several combos.

When I choose a Training_Type from the first combo it automatically filters the Project_Title combo to show only the projects that match that training type. When I choose a Trainer_Name the text box for team automatically completes.

The bit I'm struggling with is Trainer_Name. As you will see from the table Course_Details not every trainer can deliver every Project_Title. So what I want is to display only the trainers associated with the project title chosen rather than displaying the whole team in the Trainer_Name combo.

Someone suggested a junction table but I'm not sure how this would answer my question. I'm thinking some sort of Dlookup but don't know how I would write it when it has to include data from four fields.

Wild Cards For Both Text And Numbers....

Dec 14, 2005

Hi,

I'm trying to search a field which has both names and numbers in it.

For purely text entries the wildcard search works just fine.... like this:

Like "*" & [What is Last Name?] & "*"

I can type in "Smi" and get all of the Smith, Smiths, etc.



However, when I try to use this for entries which include numbers (123), which should return "Smi123" I don't get any results at all.

Any suggestions? I can put in the SMI123 as straight text in the criteria box, and will get the appropriate record.... so I know it is there!

Thanks .....

Fried Graphics Card. What Do I Do?

Jun 4, 2006

Hi,

I'm in a a lot of trouble. My graphics card has stopped functioning, leaving me with a perfectly good computer that I cannot use.

In order to retrieve the information from the harddisk, I got a cable between this computer and another one.

This is my plan:

When the "blind" computer is started, I will enter the cmd. From there I would like to be able to "share" one of my folders on the small network (ie the two computers). Is there a DOS command for this?

second question:

If I have VNC server installed, will I be able to see the desktop from another computer allthough I can't see it on the blind computer? Does that information go through the graphics card before it is sent over the internet, or after it has arrived in the VNC viewer computer?

Fuga.

Employee Time Card System

Nov 15, 2006

I need to develope a system that will allow for employees to login and imput their "time card". I found one post on here about something similar, but it didn't give much info. I am very very new to Access so please give info in simple terms or very well explained. I am hoping that I can have a login and password so employees can't access eachothers time card. All it will need to track is
Date
Type of work
Hours
Rate
Comments
I am hoping that this is going to be an easy task, but I need some help. Anyone have any ideas or directions... or even better know where I could just download a template.
Thanks,
Chrissy

Seeking Much Help With Generating A Card Number From Another Field

Jan 14, 2008

Hi guys,

I need some help here and any would be muchly apprieciated.

I am building a database for a theme park fast pass system where a customer can book themselves a place on a ride at three session times a day.

Now my problem is, that I need to generate a card number. 5555 1946 as the first 8 digits (this always stays the same) and then the last 8 digits is the customer ID number, which is in the same table. So there are 16 digits in total.

Let me give you an example:

A new customer registers and are assigned a customer ID of 1000 0001. Therefore the Card Number for that customer must be 5555 1946 1000 0001.

I have used auto number for customer ID so when a new customer signs up, there ID is 1 more that highest already in te database.

Simple question really...but how is this done?

A million marks for someone who breaks it! Hehe

Thanks

Open A Card Directly From Table View

Jun 7, 2015

In fact, I have one principal d/b running on my access, ad/b which I had imported from my iPad... The import went smoothly enough but I face this problem. I usually scroll the table in order to locate a patient's name.

I can't find a way to select this line and have it switched to a card view in order to update it. I need to move to card view, search from there in order to locate this person in card view. I am sure there is a way to select a line ( a record) in table view and jump from there directly into this record in card view.
