How To Create Search Button Using Access 2007 That Can Search From Form
Jul 10, 2012
i need to create a system that can search data using keyword.so i want to create search button that i will create it at form. currently i have 1 table and in that table i have 10 fields which are project_name, doc_ref_no, doc_title, volume, book_no, author, doc_status, box_barcode, filling_location, doc_availability.
i have create 2 forms, one form for user to add new record and another one is to search record. the user can search by enter project name, doc title, volume and box barcode. for project name and volume, i use combo box and for doc title and box barcode i'm using text box.
i want to create search function that can detect from user keyword and even user did not fill in all the form, the system still can search the record.
In my database I've encountered a hitch - I've got one form set up to view one person at a time and I've got many records in this database - Is it possible to create a textbox and a button called search that will take me to the record containing this text?
i.e currently im on record abc i type into the text dfe and press search - it will take me to a record that contains that text?
I am new to MS Access! I have design a database and a form to record the information of customer feedback.
The first thing I want is to search the record from the whole database. Secondly I want to print that searched record. And finally I want to make a Form Reset Button.
I have made a "Clear" button but it is not working correctly and removes the record from the database after saving.
why the code below is not functioning properly. When I type in an acronym in the textbox, it keeps saying there is an error "Run-time error '3345': Unkown or invalid field reference 'ABO'." I do have ABO in the field.
The dysfunctional code:
Code: Private Sub btnFind_Click() If (TxtFind & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone rs.FindFirst "[Acronym] = " & TxtFind
[Code] .....
The red highlighted line is where the debugger leads me to. Something with identifying the field? I would like to enable the search procedure to search throughout the entire records rather than just a specific field. How may I write such a line or two?
I haven't used access before and have been set the task to create a data of photos. The table is called 'Find a Photo' and contains 6 catergories of various information including river, site and date. I would like to create a search/command button by which i can type the river, site and date into seperate text boxes and search all of them at the same time.I don't know how to connect a command button to command button and not sure if any macros/queries are needed. Hope all this aint to hard to do.
I have a database that uses four forms and each form has it's own table and each form has it's own search button to find a specific record within that table. I would like to use one search button that will look at all four tables and bring up the correct record when the request number is entered. Can I link all the tables to perform this or is code required? Can someone send me in the right direction for how to do this? Give me an example of code if it's required? Thanks for any help I can get.

We have a small business and i do all the admin. I've created a database of all our contacts (name, address, phone number, fax number, etc) and i've managed to create a form that allows me to enter the data into that instead of directly into the database window.
The last thing i want to do is create a search form or add a button to my existing data entry form that will allow me to type in a contacts name, address, or any other thing about them i remember at the time, and be taken straight to that entry. Once this is done that is all i need to know for the moment.
I've tried an example i found on microsoft's site but can't get it to work properly.
Can anybody help. I'd imagine this is very very simple but i can not get the answer myself.
I am using msAccess to develop a small application. I have 2 tables, student and course, and I need to create a form with 3 fields - by_id, by_date, by_course_id
This form can generate a view only table according to the field the user entered.
Can anyone help me on this? What's the step to do so?
I have a table with columns: Login, First Name, Last Name
I need to create a form with one text box and a Search button.When i enter the Login in text and click the button it should give me the details.I am able to do it with single Login being entered.But the catch here is i want to enter multiple Login in the single text box and search and it should give me the result.
As you can see there are two tables and two forms. What i want is for a user to view or enter data for a record on the first form. And then when they are done they click the button to open up form2. What i want to happen is for the company name/id from the record in form1 to be searched for when form2 opens and to display only the data for that record when opened. If no data exists for that record in form2/table2 then for it too create a record for that company when form2 is opened from form1
hope this makes sense and you can help
Please note this is just an example so if there is wrong naming conventions and such please ignore if there is as i just wanted to display quickly what i want to acheive
I am creating an access database to store customer details as well as quote information. I have created a form to input quote details that our office can complete when a customer calls to complete a quote. I need to create a form that opens as a new form every time we click on the form to input a new quotation. How do I do this? At the moment when I click on the form, the form opens but the details of the last quotation are stored on the open form.
I have no training in access at all and am self taught so far so by no means an expert.I also want to create a form that allows you to search for particular quote numbers, so if someone calls and asks about a particular quote number we click on a page that says 'search quotes', input the quote number and the form opens with all the details of that quote.
I have a search form from which the user can search by multiple criteria. Currently users run the search by pressing a button on the form with the mouse, the keyboard enter button just tabs around the form. My question is can I get the enter button to run the search rather than tab around the form? If so how?
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 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.
i orginally thought i should do this in excel but i think when the dataset becomes larger and i want to eventually get it on the web - i thought its access i need?
i have created a mini dataset as an exmaple of what im trying to explain..i have in first column the objects, and columns after this are the elements needed to make the object (i have just labelled the element titles a b c etc - there will be LOTS of elements once i get the dataset created). so if i had a red blue green cream elements - a search would bring back both lights and lamps that i am able to make.
object A B C D E F G H lights red blue green cream lamp red blue green cream garage red blue green cream yellow brown purple pink house orange white green blue red black garden orange white green blue red garden house orange white green blue red
is there a way of creating a search lookup to this kind of information? a form which you type the criteria in and it brings back what you can make? if i was one element away from an object could I use a wildcard function to say, if you had black you could make a house?? etc
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"?
So basically, what I have is a bunch of words in one memo field, for example:
dog cat cowboy tree flower
To search it, this is the code I have now.
' Check for LIKE Last Name If Me.txtLastName > "" Then varWhere = varWhere & "[LastName] LIKE """ & Me.txtLastName & "*" * " AND " End If
The only problem is what I search for needs to be "in order", for example, if I search for dog, I'll get the table. But, if I seach for tree, I won't because tree was not place first. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot!
I've built a PostgreSQL database for some ecology data and am trying to use MS Access 2010 to make a front-end for it.
I've created a form to display site data; it includes such fields as site ID, site name, county, state, landscape, etc. (There are more, but if I can get the idea down with a couple of these, I should be good to handle the rest). One can click through the form and see 14 pages of site details, which is fine because there are 14 sites.
What I want to do now is make a search form in which one can enter values for site ID, site name, county, etc, and somehow get the pages of the display form that match those values. It's not terribly important to me how that output looks - whether it's a list of matches that allows for clicking on a match and showing just one page of the display form, or whether it's a filtered subset of the display form pages that one still clicks through to view them all.
if there is code to write, where do I type it? Do I start my search form by making a form with the search fields as values, or is there some other way? How do I make those search fields into search boxes rather than display boxes?
How can I put search button on the navigation form to search all form in my database? I have eight form I would like to be able to search to be able to pull all information for one student worker.
