Displaying Search Results Using Subform Or Other Control
Feb 23, 2006
Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to display the result of a query on a subform which does not have a relationship with any other table.
What I'm doing is creating a search form where a query is built from the users input (through combo boxes and text boxes) of what table, attribute and condition they want to search from. When they press the search button, I want the result to be displayed in a datasheet below the selection criteria
The first thing I thought of using to display information with was a subform, but I think the purpose of having the subform is so that it can be linked with a form. So, is there another control or way of displaying results. The results can come from any table.
I'm trying to make a search form that makes use of queries that search a table based on what fields I have. How would I go about having the query display all the fields for the record(s) that match the search criteria? This is for Access 2010.
As far as the query is set up, I have several fields with a search criteria, and the others are for displaying the relevant information about the results (since they're not search criteria, I used "Like '*'"). When I ran the query, it doesn't come up with anything - even if the record actually exists in the table with specified criteria.
I have 2 tables setup with a 1 to many relationship, simialr to 1 Customer having 1 or more orders. I created a query to prompt for all orders for a particular customer. I then created a form based on this query - i.e. linked the query to a form.
Now when I open the form I am prompted for the customer id and when I enter this all of the results of the query are displayed in 1 form. However, this is not what I want. I would like the orders for the customer to be displayed within a subform on the actual form. In this way the customer details will static and I can cycle through the customer orders in the subform separately.
Is there any way I can setup my query to display the results in this way? I need the prompt for the customer ID. Or is there any way I can setup the form to display the results in the above way?
Table 1: two columns - Child Tag and Parent Tag. Parent Tags can also be in Child Tag column. In other words, a parent can have multiple levels of children.
Table 2: one column - Backup Tag.
I'd like to have a form with a combo box, pick a Parent Tag, the search all its child tags and compare each Child Tag found with records in Table 2 to see if there is a match. Then populate all results in a tree view control.
A visual example :
Parent Tag ...Child Tag 1 - Back up tag found ......Child Tag 11 ......Child Tag 12 - Back up tag found ...Child Tag 2 ......Child Tag 21 ...Child Tag 3 ......Child Tag 31 .........Child Tag 311 - Back up tag found
I did a search and i found a thread that seemed like it would answer my question but for some reason the attachment isnt working. :(
Okay heres the question..
I have a form and it contains 3 fields and 3 command buttons. When i hit the command button it uses a query to display the results. What i want to do is instead of having the results display in a new window, i would like it to display on the same form .. maybe on the bottom of it. Should i use a subform or listbox/combobox..
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.
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.
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 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.
Is it possible to display two result in one field. In essence i have a table of tasks with a due date. I would like to display a count in red of overdue tasks in reference to the current date and a count in green of the tasks which are after the current date. The date is based on month year.
I think I may have to have two seperate fields and make them look like one by having no outlining but if its possible i would rather do it in one field.
My knowledge of VB etc is very limited but I can follow code and sometimes adapt it successfully.
:confused: I am setting up a referral system with a datebase on access. I want to have a form where I can enter a date of referral and the results are displayed in a form style? How do I do it?
I have set up a form to enter the date, with a submit button, and this return the results in a dataview/spreadsheet style. But I want to display in a form so that I can edit later.
I have created a Query to search for clients in my database, the query and the search all work fine, however it would be nice to have the query post the results into a form I have created to display clients data rather than posting the results in a tables view.
Hi, I'm building a form where the user can choose various options to build up the query they want. It's going to be easier this way because the different combinations they might want would mean me writing well over 100 different queries. So I think I can build the sql statement in vb and then get a recordset back with the results, but the question is how to display it. I can't just assign the recordset to an existing form because the fields to be displayed will be different for different options. Ideally I'd like it to open just as if I had run:
DoCmd.OpenQuery <name of the query>
But it doesn't look like this is going to work for a query I've generated in the code, even if I use a querydef object (correct me if I'm wrong?). So does anyone know how I would go about doing this? (It would also be fine if the results appeared in a subform on the form I'm calling the query from, but I can't see how to do this either).
Forgive me for what may sound like a dum question -- Access is completely new to me.
I have my table. I have this displayed as a form.
At the bottom of the form, I have a text box and a command button.
The user enters in a key value. The command button triggers a macro that runs a query.
Now, I'd like the form to display the data returned from the query. How?
I tried creating a new form with its Record Source set to the query. I had the macro close the original form, run the query and open the new form. But before the new form could be opened, Access prompted me for a 'parameter value' (I assume so that the query could be run again).
I searched the archives and Access Help and couldn't quite find the answer to this question, which is no doubt simple.
I have a form showing Projects with an embedded subform showing all the Buildings associated with a given project. In the form footer section of the subform, I would like to display summary information about the buildings in the project being displayed, such as count of buildings, count of residential buildings, count of commercial buildings, and so on, and I would like these summary values to update as users add or change building information.
I know how to write the SQL query to pull this information, but do I use a text box or some other vehicle to do this? Using a text box as a calculated control, I was able to produce the count of buildings using:
= COUNT([UnitID])
To get the count of residential buildings, I need to be able to specify "WHERE bldgtypeID = 'R'"...I can't get the text box to display results of an SQL statement. Can text boxes handle SQL statements?
I have a query which totals the amount of all invoices for a specific project number. I would like to take this total and have it displayed on the form from where overall project information is inputed.
Right now I have a table which shows general project information and a table showing invoice infomation (linked to the general table via a project #)
I also have two forms, one for general info and there's a button which opens the invoice form. When the invoice form opens, it opens an invoice with the corresponding project number shown on the general form. I would like the total invoice amount (from the query) displayed on the corresponding general form.
ex: in the general form for project# 100, I click invoice once and enter $50, I click invoice again and enter $100. The query automatically shows a total of $150 for project# 100. I would like this $150 displayed on the general form for quick reference.
I have created a table with name "Main". It consists of fields ID, Author, Title, Abstract, Page and Published.
I have created a form named "MFORM" with text boxes Author, Title, Abstract, Page and Published,and then I created a search and clear parameters buttons below the text box.
Then I dragged my Search Query into the bottom of my form MFORM and named it as "All Results".
When I click on search then the results are displayed in the new tab instead of bottom of my main form in Search query.
If I enter author name as Mike and then click on search button then results should display all the details related to Mike on the bottom of my form.
All Results [At the Bottom of my page]
Should display all the details related to Mike.
I had attached my database. I just need the search results at the bottom of my main form in stead of displaying in new tab.
I currently have a search form that when criteria is entered it then opens up a query with matching results. What i would like to have it do is have a macro that runs the query so that it gathers the results and then displays the results into a form with a textbox called search results.
I have a database with several one-to-many relationships and a nested subform based off of those relationships. Relationships are as follows:
One Lender to Many Relationship IDs One Relationship ID to Many Tax IDs One Tax ID to Many DocumentsRequired
My forms are nested as follows:
Relationship ID form (contains info for Relationship ID and Lender) -> Tax ID -> DocumentsRequired
I believe I'm just overcomplicating this. But I have simple search box (an unbound text box with a command button), which is located on the top-level form for Relationship IDs. As you'll see above, that form only contains the fields for Relationship ID and Lender. However, users have to be able to search by Relationship ID, Customer Name, or Tax ID number, the last two of which are only available on the nested subforms. Currently I have the search box reaching out to grab results from a query. When I assign the results to the Me.RecordSource, it works perfectly except that it's in read-only format. The users have to be able to edit the results of their search. I'm not even sure I'm doing this in the easiest fashion. I would have preferred to just use the select statement to search through the subform, but I'm guessing my syntax was wrong because I never got it to work. Below is what I currently have.
Dim strtext As String Dim strsearch As String strtext = Me.SearchBoxTxt.Value strsearch = "SELECT [Relationship ID] " & _ "FROM CustomerNormQuery " & _ "WHERE [Relationship ID] like ""*" & strtext & "*"" OR [Customer Name] Like ""*" & strtext & "*"" " & _ "OR [EIN/SSN] Like ""*" & strtext & "*"" " & _ "GROUP BY [Relationship ID]" Me.RecordSource = strsearch
I have a simple database with a query that "SUM"s an amount.
I created a form with a sub form that is linked by Account number. I want to be able to open the form in datasheet format and it to display the SUM value from the query.
When I open the form it responds with #Type until I click the + symbol to open the linked query then it updates the #type field with the data from the query.
I have created a 6 search boxes with names Author, Published, Language, Title, Keywords and University. If I enter "A" in Author search field then it should return all the 6 fields which contains "A" in Author field. It worked well.
My Requirement :
The column published is the year. In search box of Published if I search for 2000 then it's returning all the 6 fields which contains "2000" in Published field.
But most of the people doesn't know the exact year in which the book is published so they need some favour like, If they search for 2000-2010 in Published field then it should return all the fields which are between 2000-2010 in the published field.
For this do I need to create 2 extra text boxes and name them as Starting year and Ending Year? or else we can achieve this in single text box as xxxx-xxxx?
At the moment I have a field 'Author' which is displayed using a subform. The user can cycle through the many authors that are associated with each record in the main form. However, what I'd like to do is to display each record simultaneously in the same control, and with a little bit of playing around in VB get the form to work out how many Authors there are and display the names in a particular format. I.e.,
Bloggs, Jones & Smith Hank & Mason
See what I mean? Does anyone know how I might refernce the records. So logically it would be:
Im making a database about past bid results. In one table i have a list of bidders and which place they came in (along with some other information). I have 20 positions (1st place, second place and so on...), so i made 20 queries that search through the table for my company's name so we can see how many times we came in first, second, third and so on. Now i would like to bring the number of records in each query to a single form. I tried making another query to using the count feature on the other 20 queries but it keeps returning 0 as the number of results per query. But when i open each query up there are obvisouly more that 0 results in each. Is there a way i can bring up the number of results per query all on one form?
I have a Inventory DB and i want to integrate scanning. So far i have a table called StockInfo, this table holds information about bar codes (device type, make, model). I have a form called Scan_Barcode, on this form I want to be able to scan a bar code into a text box (text0) and use a afterupdate and requery function to display the results onto a form called EnterInventory.
Not only just the results but I want certain columns from the query to display in certain text boxes on this form. I have a query called FindProduct. that filters the criteria by whats entered on the Scan_Barcode text box (text0). So when i scan a certain bar code i can get the query to display certain product information for the bar code. I just cant get the results onto the HarwareStock form.
