Has anyone ever come across an example of a form where you can carry out a multi criteria search which not only displays the results on a subform but when you select an item from that subform the details can be displayed in text boxes etc on the main form.
I have tediously searched this forum and the web but all search examples only display on a subform only, is it even possible if so has anyone found any examples or how would I go about achieving this
I have been trying to produce a front end for a multi criteria search. I have used one of the sample databases from the site and amended the code as necessary, but obviously not correctly. I can't get it to show me the records based on my search criteria.
I would be grateful if somebody could have a look and let me know what I've done wrong (cut down DB attached). If I can crack this I want to do another multicriteria search for other parameters.
One other question - is it possible to take those filtered records and dump them into a report? For example, say I select one parameter and want tpo print all records associated with that parameter?
I have an events database with a description field which I would like to be able to search for multi criteria which would be determined by the user. For example, the user might want to search for all events which are Merchant Navy, Dieppe and Vimy related or they may want to search for only Veterans Week related events.
I've tried creating a form with text boxes that the user would put the criteria in and then basing the query on those text boxes using a like statement.My problem is that I don't know how many criteria the user will be using so I can have too many or too few text boxes. If too few, the user is not getting all of the records that they are looking for. If too many, the user ends up getting all the records in the database as the system uses the bank boxes to bring back all values, so basically all records.
is there anyway that I can have only one text box where users would enter in as many or as few crietia words seperated either by a , ; space etc., and the system would return all records which contain any of those words.
I have one main table. There are about 5 main fields that my users seach often. Usually they just open the table and filter. I do not like that.
I want to build a form that has the 5 main fields available as search fields.
Name SS Company Date COC
are the fields most often searched for. Can I make a form that will open with a blank subform on the bottom and these 5 fields empty across the top. Once a user enters into one of the fields and hits enter it will bring up the those records?
I'm using this search form.I have never had issues with it until today. When I type the letter "i" as the first letter in the 'Search For' box, I get the following error:"Microsoft Office Access can't move the focus to the control SearchResults"..Also, when I type "i", it shows up in the box as "I" and is the only letter that does this.
Hi everyone. Apologies if this has come up before, but the search terms I've tried here and on google keep turning up the wrong information.
At work I manage a large database with many tables. It stores data for participants in a research study. Each table stores the data for a different test, so one participant may have multiple records. Primary keys for these tables are defined by a combination of the participant and date of test fields. (Everything is dependent upon a table that stores the static info for participants, so the database is normalized.)
I want to be able to make a table that lists target participants and dates, and then create a query that looks at this table and pulls all the available data from various tables for those individuals that was recorded within one year of the target dates.
I've successfully made queries that meet these criteria while pulling data from only one table. The problem I'm having is that when I try to pull from multiple tables, each with it's own date field that needs to be used as a criterion, I end up excluding almost all the data, because most of the target participants do not have all the requested data within the target dates.
I've tried being inclusive with my criteria (using ORs), but then I end up with tons of data that I don't want and I need to filter through it, which defeats the purpose of the query.
Any advice on handling this issue, or do I basically just need to create a separate query for each table?
I'm sorry if this is too vague, but it's illegal for me to upload any of my own dataset. I could probably come up with an example if it's helpful, though.
Multi 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've created a farm database, with a form (frmSearch) that will allow user to filter data. The form comprises of combo box and list box etc... for the user to input their own criteria. The subform below has a datasource. The data source is based on a query (qContractionSearch) which is basically a parameter query with 3 tables. The problem is, however, that it won't work with 3 tables... but will work if data source comprises just one table.
See the farm database attachment...and go to frmSearch...then go to Contraction tab. (The Cattle tab filter works fine-it only has a single-table datasource).i have a requery macro which runs whenever the user clicks 'search'.
I have a search form with blank fields tied to a table, four criteria search boxes, and a button to take the input from the search boxes, search the table, and populate the results on the form's blank fields. As of now, it works as long as all four criteria boxes aren't null.I used filters to achieve this, and here's the code that works as long as all four boxes are not empty. (My criteria boxes are as follows: a textbox called "Keyword" and three combo boxes called HRCombo, BuildingCombo, and RoomCombo, and the fields they're tied to are as follows: "Item Description" "HR Holder" "Building" "Room") My first line "Me.Filter = ..." was broken up to make it easier to view.
I need it to be able to do the search no matter which combination of criteria boxes have input. Someone recommended using if statements to do the following: Create four strings, one for each criteria box. Use 4 if statements to check if the box is null - if it is null, assign an asterisk to its string, and if its not null, assign the value I used for the above Me.Filter statement to each box's string. Then, use Me.Filter and concatenate the four strings at the end. Here's the code I used for this, and, with my limited knowledge, I can't get it to work.
Code:
Dim StrA as String, StrB as String, StrC as String, StrD as String If Me.Keyword is null then StrA = "*" else StrA = [Item Description] Like " & Chr(34) & Me.Keyword & "*" & Chr(34) End If
I am trying to make a form where the user can check/uncheck query criteria via several check boxes. The idea is that the user can start with many criteria and then deselect criteria if the search does not return enough results.
I have been setting up several queries and thought I would combine them in a "Master Query", since I thought it may be easier to deal with each criterion and the respective switch this way.
Lets say we run a hairdresser.
I have a field in the form that allows me to select clients. This is also used in the query. Works fine. Now to the hard part.
Example 1:
Each customer has a budget to spend on haircuts. Each hairdresser offers haircuts from $x to $y. The query should return all hairdressers that are appropriate for the budget of the selected customer. There should be a yes/no button on the form to ignore or use this criterion.
Example 2 (this completely threw me off):
Each customer has a set of preferred services from a table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring). Each hairdresser offers certain services also based on this table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring, drying). The customer and hairdresser table use the services table and a multi combo box to select the services. The query should return only hairdressers that offer some or none of the services wanted by the client.
Again, there should be a services yes/no button on the form to either ignore or include this criterion.
To clarify, the hard part for me is the query. I am fine with setting up the tables and the form. Just not sure how to implement something like "IF (ServicesCheckBox = -1, 'then use service criterion', 'ignore service criterion')".
having trouble using a text box on a form to set the search criteria for a particular field within a query.
Ideally i would like to enter the criteria in a textr box then click a button which sets the criteria and opens the query results in a report,
I have designed the query but cant which works if you go into the design and enter the criteria. the problem lies with getting the text box on teh form to set teh criteria.
If i use the expression builder to set the criteria to the same value of the "text" within the "text box" on said form the following happens,
If i open the query itself it opens a small window and displays the "expression" that i entered in the criteia box, above the data entry. the query does work this way but dont understand why the expression is displayed??? The text box on the form also becomes locked, not allowing data to be entered.
I have tried to link the query direct to the text box. also tried creating a table which has data entered via form then linking the query criteria to a field in the table.
Could some one point me in the right direction please
So I'm working on something for housing. Each house has a "Property Reference". This property reference links to all other information on the property.
There's two tables, Referral (For a tenant, with the Property Reference as a foreign key) and PropertyInfo (Holding all the property information)
Basically I want to save users as much input time as possible, so I'd prefer if they could just enter the property reference for a person, and that populates the rest of the table.
I'm currently using DLookup on the main form where it displays the information related to the property reference, obviously it's not actually being saved into any fields.
Will this method be okay if I would want to search the records by the address on the main form?
I am attempting my first access database which tracks blood components in our medical facility. When a component is issued to a patient there is a button to push which links to a report that runs a query. The user must enter the unique key for the component at a promt, which ensures the report generated will be for that component only. My question is if there is a way to cpture and use that key automatically when pressing the button. If I need to clarify something, please let me know--I may not have the Access developer lingo down yet...
I currently have a database which contains various information for part returns. Among this information is contained a parts tracking number, VIN Number, and Date Code. I want to have a small dialogue box (Form) where a user can enter a tracking number, (or a date code or VIN if tracking number unavailable) to search for a record containing that tracking number. I have already created a replica of my new part entry form to view parts in read only mode only.how to create small form to search for record based off criteria then open the replica form i have made to that record?
I have an unbound form (named frmReportSearch) with unbound text & combo boxes providing the criteria for a query (named qSeqStreets). The form / query utilize 4 optional fields as search criteria plus date from / to. The results are returned via a report (named rptSeqStreets). The whole operation worked perfectly, however I realized I needed to change one of the criterion to a multivalued field. The change in the table (named Tasks) worked perfectly. I used three checkboxes (named chkA, chkB and chkC) to allow the user to select any combination of the 3 choices, including none (to be treated as no filter on [fldShifts]).
The three options in the field (named fldShifts) are "A" "B" and "C". I am able to manually run the query from design view by typing in the criteria "A" Or "B"... "A" Or "B" Or "C"... and any combination of the three options in the criteria box and running the query. I am using the following code under the OK button's OnClick. The Code below has other items related to all the options .... I didn't want to give partial code so you may understand better:
Code: Private Sub btnOK_Click() Dim strShift As String Dim strA As String Dim strB As String Dim strC As String
[Code] .....
My problem is that the query criteria needs to be entered into the criteria box with quotes and separated by "Or" depending on if multiple checkboxes are selected.
I can get the results to show correctly in the textbox, however I imagine the query is adding an extra set of ""s to the string so rather than "A" Or "B" .. it is getting ""A" Or "B"". My query Sql and even design mode are pretty complex, so I wouldn't know how to use the sql in VBA without blowing some fuses.
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 am creating a a text box where the user enters a text then clicks an option from the option that is used as the criteria for the search e.g. Last Name, Phone , address then a command button wil run a query.
Hey all, new here, question for everyone. I have a fairly large database, I need to make a form that has 3 drop down boxes on it, one will be corresponding to a field in my table called Race, another with Affiliation and the last one with Gender, race will have 7 options, affiliation 20 options and gender 2 options. I need to be able to have a search/query setup so that a user chooses one option from each drop down and have it do a search in my table corresponding to what they choose. I really have no idea howto do this and hoping someone here could help. thanks
I use this code to filter a subform with multiple criteria.
Private Sub Filter_Click() Dim strWhere As String If Not IsNull(Me.Coordinator) Then 'Create Predicate strWhere = strWhere & " AND " & "Orders.[EmployeeID] = " & Me.Coordinator & "" End If If Not IsNull(Me.Customer) Then 'Create Predicate strWhere = strWhere & " AND " & "Orders.[CustomerID] = " & Me.Customer & "" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.Supplier) Then 'Create Predicate strWhere = strWhere & " AND " & "Orders.[SupplierID] = " & Me.Supplier & "" End If Me.Track_All_Orders.Form.Filter = strWhere Me.Track_All_Orders.Form.FilterOn = True End Sub
This Code works great, however i want to use it to filter my report as well, so I put strWhere as a global var and i wrote this code to generate the report with the same filters criteria as the subform:
Private Sub cmdGenerateReport_Click() Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Statement" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , strWhere End Sub
Nothing happen when i click on cmdGenerateReport!! any clue?
Ive had a quick look at other threads to see if this question has been asked already, so hopefully Im not repeating a previous question!
I am completely new to Access but have been asked to perform multi-criteria queries across multiple tables. I realise it would be easier to just put all the information into one table, but if anyone could explain how to do the above I would be very grateful.
On a report I want to Dlook up using if a name and a date match on a query line it will return the total that is associated in that same line. What do i need to add to the below is if
=DLookUp("[Total]","qryaQFFSumOfTotal10day","[AssociateName]=Reports!rprtQFF10day![AssociateName]") & qryaQFFSumOfTotal10day","[ErrorDate]=Reports!rprtQFF10day![Date1]") if null = 0?
Is there anyway to use Like in queries where the user could type in more than one word?
I have a text box (search title), on a form (Search).
On after update the text box, opens a query.
The criteria in the query for the Title field is:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![search title] & "*"
this works great for one word or phrase.
I would like the user to be able to type in 2 words, and have the query find all the records where the first word is in the Title, and where the second word is in the Title. And so on with 3 words or more.
I used the Contacts demo on Access 2010, made all the elements Client from web based and then exported to a new database. It worked for the most part but now I am trying to put in a 4 box search and am getting stuck on which form to link it to and also where to put these boxes.
