creating a searching form and to show the results inside the form! It's like a Library type searching. u want to search for some type of monument or so and it shows the results, all the info, photos and that!
View RepliesI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a search form. It has 6 unbound text boxes and 2 combo boxes in the header. Users can select values from the combo boxes and/or enter names in the other text boxes. These values all go into a filter on my Main table and the filtered results show up in the detail section. That used to work fine.
Now, I've been trying to convert the filter into a query and show the query results in the detail section instead.
(Why? Because of the ever-changing business requirements, of course!)
For some reason, the detail section went blank. All white. When I change the Data Entry property to No, it fixes that.
However, the text boxes for entering the search criteria will not accept any values anymore. It's like they are disabled.
When I change Data Entry property to Yes, I can enter text into the text boxes again. But the detail section blanks out again.

Hi,
I have a list-box(Category) and a 'ok' button on the form.
My OK button has the following [Event Procedure]:
Private Sub OK_Click()
Me.Visible = False
DoCmd.RunSQL "Select [Barg Unit],[Medical Option],[Medical Coverage Tier] FROM RetireeCensus Group By [" & Category & "];"
End Sub
First of all, is my syntax correct in the above codes?
Second, what VBScript codes do I need to add in so that when I click the 'OK' button, a report or a table will show the query results from my 'Select' statement?
Thank you.
I have a form that I am trying to show in a text box the results of a count query. The query has two fields in which one is a check box. The criteria for the text box field is set to true to list all that are checked. I want the query to show all the records that are true. This works if I run the query, but the result isn't showing in my text box on the form. On the form text box properties in Control source I have =DLookUp("[Run Number]","Control Room Drumctqry"). Run Number is the field that I am counting, Control Room Drumctqry is the query. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

I basically want to Loop through a query (or if not possible trough a table) and show the results in my form. For each record in the table I am doing additional checks when loading the form and showing that result accordingly. I do not want to do these checks in additional queries - I think it is more efficient doing it in the form directly. Here is the code I have:
Dim dbsSR As DAO.Database
Dim rstValQry As DAO.Recordset
Set dbsSR = CurrentDb
Set rstValQry = dbsSR.OpenRecordset("qry_val_tbl_ind_rec-rev_import")
With rstValQry
While (Not .EOF)
[Code] ....
The Loop seems to work because in debug it is going through it 3 times (the number of records I have in the query), but the result is always the same - it seems the above code is not checking / refreshing based on the individual query records.
Now that i have read this again, i think it could be summed up into one question...if i have a form based off a query with an outer join that has various duplicate records, is there a way to use the recordset in an if statement that says something like if this recordID = that recordID then dont show one of them...hence not showing the duplicate field data in the form.If you want a more specific description of the problem, read on, otherwise don't read on.Hi All,So I hope I can explain this ok....here goes....I have a search using dynamic queries: I have a form where the user can put in various information he wants to search to find a record. In this case it is searching for Hotels. So the user can search a country to see all of the hotels in that country. Also, the user can search an interest like Beach or Nature to see those hotels that apply. Obviously each hotel may have more than one interest so I have a 1-many relationship with a table called Hotels_Interests.The kicker, and you can likely already see why, is that the user does not have to fill out every search field. He may search Country&Interest, or just one or the other, or leave everything blank to see all hotels in the database. The results are simply ordered by HotelID or something like that in a form that is based off the dynamic query. The dynamic query is of course just based off the query i explained, but with criteria added in.The problem is with the query that i am basing this search off of. Right now it has the main Hotels table as well as the 1-Many table Hotels_Interests and even another that is 1-Many Hotels_HotelTypes (say All Inclusive, Resort, etc.). So this query has various 1-Many tables as well as the main Hotels. Now, if i fill in all of those fields in the search form, there will obviously not be any duplicates returned, which is super. But if i leave Hotel_HotelTypes search field blank, i will be returned with the same hotel twice or more times, which is my problem, because i want nice search results.I have heard of people using Union queries to get rid of duplicates but this obviously does not solve my problem as i do not want to just get rid of these entries. What i think i want is some VBA method or whatever of showing in my search results each HotelID that meets the search criteria only one time.Right now i have it working with If statements that say if the user has left a specific search criteria blank then base the search off a different query. This is obviously crazy and is only a temp fix. Now that i want three or more 1-many tables in my query, i would be talking about if statements for like 6 or more queries, insane.I apologize for the length of this, but i wanted to be perfectly clear. I feel like it should be not too hard, like using a record set for the form and not showing certain records or something, but i am not sure how to do it.Thanks so much. Dillon
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Access 2013. I have created a search form with about 10 different categories from a single table. I will only show 5 fields for this example The form is called FrmSearch with
Description
CarNum
SerialNum
Category
Condition
In the query, I have the criteria, Like "*" & [Forms]![FrmSearch]![description] & "*" and have this same criteria for all fields with the proper text field entry. (CarNum, serialnum, category, etc)
The problem I have is that I have over 200 items listed in the Description column but only 2 entries in the CarNum column. When I run the search with nothing in the FrmSearch, it should show all data but it only shows the 2 CarNum. If I put something in the Description, only the two items that show CarNum. I tried to use Is Null and Is Not Null but still doesn't work. I take out the "Like" criteria from the CarNum and it works. So, it seems that it does not pull up all the records because the CarNum has empty fields.
Hello
I want to create a single search field inwhich the user can search data within two different tables. So for example in both tables there is a field called Container Number. When they type in the number into the search field i want a query to search both tables and return if it is in table one or table two.
I hope this make sense!
I want to enter text boxes on a form that are linked to certain fields on a table and when search criteria is typed in show the results in a table on a subform.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMulti search wont return results: Obviously I have my table and search form. But have hit a problem that is probably simple to overcome, but for the life of me I cant see it.
The small peice of code I have used = forms]![searchF]![name1] I have also tried Like"*" & forms]![searchF]![name1] & "*" still not working. The qurey accompanying form (searchF) works to displaying searchF form unpopulated which I believe is correct. I should at this stage be able to fill out the one table heading (name1) where the query should return a result in the (searchf) form but it does not return.
The tables, forms and quries, have all been saved and closed and re opened many times
The form (searchF) propeties have been checked and double checked. I have even built a test table but the same things happen as my main table.
I think I can achieve what my boss wants with just one table.
I work in a legal department and we track employee contract complaints/issues. Simple data entry is used and one table (Complaints Table) has been created with fields like: employee name, emp #, what union rep issues the complaint, who from our department responded, when the complaint was sent, when the response was sent, two memo fields to describe the problem and the resolution, and ... perhaps most importantly... contract section.
It is possible that one complaint could touch on multiple contract sections.
The data-entry form I've created has the following fields:
contract section 1:
contract section 2:
contract section 3:
Now I need to create a Search Form and I'm having all kinds of headaches trying to understand how to make this work... trouble with setting up the right macro, too.
I'd like the main form to contain the following search fields:
Rec # (which is set as an autonumber in the "Complaints Table")
Employee name
Employee #
Contract Section
...or perhaps just a "contract section" search form...
1. If a contract section # is entered, I want to push a button and have every record of that contract section # filtered from the database and show exactly as the data-entry form beneath the "search" portion of the main form.
(did that make any sense?). I know how to create a general form and subform, but the subform always shows up as a table object rather than a form object. How can I fix that?
2. Some contract sections might be numbered: 3.A.2. ....others might have a longer name like 22.C.3.a.vi.(b). ....
Obviously, the filter/search needs to catch all records which include the contract section specifically, regardless of which of the three "contract section" fields from the main data-entry form contain data.
What's the easiest, non-VBA way of setting that up?
I just know nothing of VBA.
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Hello, i have a database that simply holds all the information on one table at the moment and what im trying to figure out is how to create a form that i can enter data onto that searches all the different fields at once, instead of one search for one thing and another for another. Some of the fileds are Headset number, gasket number, make, model, engine cc, etc.. so what i want to be able to do is have a form with a text box for each of these fields that then searches the table to narrow down the search results. at the moment i have a search for each, say for one i enter the headset number, it searches and pulls up all records with that headset number, then i have a search for engine cc, but what happens is it searches all records again for the engine cc not following on from the search for headset number so i end up back with a load of records with diferent headset numbers but with the searched engine cc. Basically the search form needs to take data entered into each text bow for each field then the combined results from each, narrowing down the results. can anyone help? in laymans terms!!
Thanks
Paul:
I have created a form to search a field in my database by running a query. i can only get it to search for direct matches as I am having no luck getting the "LIKE" Operator to work for me. the format should apparently be, like "A*" , this works but i woud like to replace "A" with a variable from a txt box in my form. which will be a combination of letters and numbers
followed what i think is the right instructions and pasted the appropriate bits in the expression builder to tell it where to look but doesnt work
cant fathom out why its not working, it just produces blank queries
Also in the query design page do i need to do anything with the optional "Total" row dropdown menu?
help much appreciated
putting a search button on a form on my database.
On the navigation buttons at the base of the form there is a search facility where I can type a record id but I would like to get rid of that and search records either by turning the ID field into a searchable box or by adding a button where I can press it and get a search box up.
I have a form and when it's opened you get 3 different search questions to answer or leave blank. My question is.... If a search parameter is entered but no results are found to match it, how do I create an error message telling the requestor "No Data Found"?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am creating a database of bird banding and breeding records for the refuge where I currently intern. To do this, I have created the following tables:
Adult Banding Records
Nestling Banding Records
Historical Banding Records
The specific issue:
I have already created forms for entering data into these tables, but now I would like to create a "search" form that will use the primary key (which is always the band number of the individual bird, across all tables) to search ALL the tables and pull up all the information on that record. This will be convenient when we recapture a bird that is already banded, so we can look up their information in our database. Also, since I plan to add many more tables, it would be nice to not have to search each table individually.
I'm trying to tie a from into the results from and AD Query. I'm not that experienced with doing this kind of thing so I may be going about this the wrong way. Anyway here's what I've got so far:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
With cn
.ConnectionString = "Provider=ADSDSOObject;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
[Code] .....
When stepping through the code, it all goes well until it hits the line that actually connects it to the form "Set Me.Recordset = rs".
When this line is executed, Access crashes and attempts to restart.

I have created a combo box which lists companys, when i click on a certain company it brings all records for that company but underneath the last record it shows all the other records on the form.
How do i get it to only show the records for that company only.
creating a VBA that will allow me to search for a record in Table A, and once the record is found, allow me the option to add that record to Table B. Is this possible to do if Table A and Table B are not formatted the same (i.e. one has more fields than the other)? In summary, creating a VBA that will allow me to search in one table and once the correct record is found, allow me the ability to add it to another table.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been able to navigate a lot on my own, but there is one issue I cannot seem to resolve. I have 1 form and 1 table. I have the form set up so that you can enter data, and then press a button, and it will "save" and refresh the form for a new entry. However, I want to be able to pull that entry back up in the form, and fill out additional fields later on.The form is set to data entry = yes because I do want the form to open up as brand new each time.
To sum up my question. I want a text box and search button at the top of my form. When you type an ID number in the text box, and then press search, I want access to populate my form with the information in my data table associated with that ID number.
If I type in the number 1234 and hit search. I want my form to autopopulate with the data in the row for ID number 1234 (all the fields I have already populated). So by searching 1234, the name, phone, background info, etc that is populated in the row will appear.
I have built a custom search form in a MS Access 2010 database so that users can find specific records to edit. After entering the search criteria and hitting a Search button, another form opens up that shows the search results. This second form includes a command button for generating a report of the search results.
Right now, the custom search form and the search results form are both working properly, but the search results report is showing every record in the database instead of just the search results. This is true whether I access the report via the command button in the form or the navigation pane. I'm not sure if I need to correct my VBA code or the report's properties.
When I type the first letter I into the search text area I get the following error
Run-time error '2110'

I have a Form called X which contains a subform called Y. I have placed this Form inside another form called Z.
There is a CommandButton which when clicked must refer to the Subform. How do I do this?
I tried using [Z]![X]!Y, Form_Z.Form_X.Y, [Z]![X].Y but it throws an error saying the form name has been misspelled ...
I would like to know if it's possible to open an specific subform inside a navigation form using an event.
I also need to to this using macros ( really can't use vba in this project =/)
Form example:
the main form has "nav_opt1", "nav_opt2", "nav_opt3"
By double clicking a record in "nav_opt1", it will open "nav_opt2" with some filters (but all in the same window), as if I was just browsing through the navigation forms usually.
