i have created an asset database for a school. i have made a query that search for a room but say, for example, i want to find the record for "room 32" the user has to put "room 32" in the search box. is there anyway for example if the user types "32" that the record will be found?
any help much appriciated :)
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.
I have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using access 2010. I technically have an unbound form but I am changing the record source by command buttons. Switching between 3 command buttons. My problem is that I have a subform that I was linking to the form to an unbound search field. Now I want to switch the master and child links to a field on the form when I switch the record source which happen to be the same field as the unbound search field; however; it still pulls from the unbound search field rather than the field on the form. Do I need to delete the search field in order to get is to point to the appropriate field?

I am trying to copile an herbal database. I have a form in which I enter the information on each herb. One field is "medicinal uses" and I list all of the uses of the herb.
Okay, so how do I get it to list all of the herbs that have a medicinal use of "cramps" or "sedative". It won't find them because it is looking for the whole list of medicinal uses, not an individual use. Is there a better way to do this, or does the program not do what I want?

Hey gang,
Is there a way to click on the find record button and have it automaticly search from a specific field? The only way I know how to search a field in a form is to select the field and then click on search. I just wanted it to automaticly select a field.
Thanks gang, have a great weekend.

Hi Guys!
I'm working on this database in which I have 2 forms:
one form has personal information (PersonalInfo)
and the other one is a search form (Search)
In the search form I have a field in which I want to type any part of the Name field in PersonalInfo form and I want to retrieve all the records that have this part of the name.
Here is what I tried:
In the PersonalInfo form, I want to the criteria of the NameField and typed the following:
Like %[Forms]![Search]![SearchField]%
but it didn't work.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I have an extremely large database which is in a continuous form format, and what I would like to happen is, instead of using the find button that would just find a word, I would like to have a pop-up search box that would yield actual texts throughout the DB (something like the search feature in Adobe Acrobat). In addition, I would like to use the "and" or "plus" together to search for additional data if needed. Please, unless there is a sample I could download and use in my db, please be specific in your instructions since I am new to all this.
Thanks!!
I have a search form, generally it runs fine...until now. When the record contains a ' in it, I get an error. For example, I can search on last name Smith fine, but unable to search on O'Malley.
I get runtime error 3075
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'lstnam LIKE 'O*M*' AND fstnam LIKE 'g*'
It works with other characters, like ? or . or !, just not the apostrophe '.
Any help would be great.
Here is the code I have for the search button.
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
Dim LSQL As String
Dim LSearchString As String
Dim LSearchString1 As String
If Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then
MsgBox "Please enter a last name."
End If
If Len(txtSearchstring1) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchstring1) = True Then
MsgBox "Please enter a first name or portion of the first name"
Else
LSearchString = txtSearchString
LSearchString1 = txtSearchstring1
'Filter results based on search string
LSQL = "select * from tblTEMPMEM"
LSQL = LSQL & " where lstnam LIKE ' " & LSearchString & "*'" & " AND fstnam LIKE '" & LSearchString1 & "*'" & ""
Form_frmGroups_sub1.RecordSource = LSQL
lblTitle.Caption = "Member Details: Filtered by '" & LSearchString & " , " & LSearchString1 & "'"
'Clear search string
txtSearchString = ""
txtSearchstring1 = ""
MsgBox "Results have been filtered. All names containing " & LSearchString & "."
Thanks!
I have a form that has a field to search for clients. Many times those clients could have also companies in different cities and countries. Would it be possible to use more than 1 field for a search? If the company could have more than one address in the same city, then I could find it by typing in the first field the client name, second field the country and third field the address. This way I could find easy the correct client by narrow down the search with 3 fields.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I wish to place a command button next to a specific field which when clicked, launches the search command ready to search records against that field.
I have already tried this and managed to place a button to search - however, this searches every field in every record - I just want to search 1 specific field.
I am a bit new to this, so please be as untechy as possible!
Thanks,

What I need to do sounds simple but I am losing my what hair I have left to do it. I have a single table where staff rotate a responsibility every 3 months or so. What I have in one field is the surname of the person currently performing the duty and another with the surname of the person who is next to take on the duty. What I need to query is those posts where a replacement has not been identified for the next say 12 weeks.
e.g. I need to have a query that finds extracts all posts where the field (surname) of the person taking on the role is blank between (date) and (date).
Thanks for any help in advance!
I can alway make a query like the following one to table and return the records:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE PhoneNo<>"";
However, it returns nothing while it should return a lot of records if I make a query like this:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE PhoneNo="";
The PhoneNo file is of text type. As I know, this field is added after the MS database has been put into use for some time.
Can anyone please explain this to me?
Thanks,

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.

I need to be able to print records for certain students showing their best and worst results for each exercise. Must be printed in portrait A4. Each student must be on a new page. I am trying to create a query which will find the results for studentID AA111 and DS1119. For each student:
- Find the best and worst RepsOrTime for each exercise
- Display studentID, StudentSurname, StudentForename, ExerciseID, Description, Best and worst RepsOrTime
- Name best records "best"
- Name worst records "worst"
Please see attached document.
I can find the result for one student id but when i try putting both student ids in it returns no result, also, I do not know how to rename best records best and worst records worst.For this i have two headings shown as RepsOrTime and it shows the max and min value for each exercise.
I am trying to add a field with a combo box which allows multiple values to the back end of a split database. When I do this and then open the form on the front end I get the following error:
"The search key was not found in any record." The values are chosen from a value list that I created.If I add a combo box field that does not allow multiple values I can open the form fine.The database was created in Access 2007 and is now running on Access 2010.
I am quite new to Access and programming, I have a table with 1,101,203 records, 16 fields. How do I create a form to search by, 'Account number', and narrow down searches for
+/- 10% on price and sq ft.
example:I would search the account number and it would give me;
Account_no: 10140455
Color: White
Etc: Etc
Etc: Etc
Value: 149720
Sq_Ft: 13875
I want to get a list of records displaying +/- 10% of the 'Value' and 'Sq_Ft' I got from the search I made of the 'Account_no'.So when I search 'Account_ no': 10140455 and it gives me that account information(etc, etc, etc, Value and Sq ft), I also want to get a list of records that have +/- 10% of the value and sq ft of the 10140455 record.
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
