CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS, I'M TOTALLY CRACKING UP TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT
I need to implement a Quick search feature in my employee application.
So that when any text is typed into the textbox, it searches the db for a match:
e.g. firstname lastname ss# employeeId deptId officelocation deptname
It returns the record in the employee table that consist of the text typed in the search box. Most websites have this quick search feature (blanket search..is that what it's called?) and a link for advanced search, where they can select specific fields to search.
Quick question.....I have a menu that links to 4 main forms displaying data from 4 different tables. I wanted to add the facility to quick search on the menu(i.e enter a record (the primary key) into a text box and click search. I would then want it to open the exising form at the relevant record or produce an error message stating no record present. I would have 4 quick searches on the main menu (one for each form)).
If anyone could help me on this i would greatly appreciate it, or if you could point me in the direction of an example it would also be great (although i have been looking and havent seen one i can get my head round)
Hi there people, i have created a query that searches through different fields within the database, and on its own works fine, enter some or no data and it will return what you have entered. The problem is i have created a form with text and combi boxes on that i can enter the query parameters into in one place, but i can not get the search button to use this data and filter the query? the query is a subform on the main search form and is refreshed when the search button is pressed but with no filters defined by the text/ combi boxes. can anyone help please?
i have a search form (see atachment1) with 2 combo boxes. i have a pruduct form that runs on this query:
Code: SELECT * FROM tblSpeler WHERE (((tblSpeler.merk)=forms!frmZoeken!zoektekst1) And ((tblSpeler.type) Like forms!frmZoeken!zoektekst2));
if i start the the product form, it asks me for the make, and then for the player » it finds the right player in the form. but via my search form it won´t work. it only opens the product form and no records are shown.
so: in the search form, when i select a "make", and then the "type", and then press search. i want it to show the right record in the product form. + when i select a make (eg "apple"), i want the type combo box to exclude all the types that are not from apple (eg only: ipod mini, ipod 20gb. right now it´s like in atachment2.
i know this is a common question, been trying to figure it out with a eg database, but i can´t get it done. all help is welcome
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.
I am trying to get a wildcard search to work with a form.
I have a query, in which the criteria is:
Like "*" & [Enter a word] & "*"
That works fine. I enter a word, and I get the few records in which the word appears.But if I try to replace [Enter a word] with a word entered on a control on a form, it doesn't work - I get all the records. This is my code:
* This code works to search frmMember for criteria found in tblMember:
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() If Len(cboSearchField) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchField) = True Then MsgBox "You must select a field to search." ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then MsgBox "You must enter a search string."
[Code] ....
* But this next code which I have copied and Pasted to frmEventInput, then renamed the frm and tbl, retrieves the same criteria as the above (tblMember) instead of the tblEventInfo...
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() If Len(cboSearchField) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchField) = True Then MsgBox "You must select a field to search." ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then MsgBox "You must enter a search string."
We are creating a simple database to maintain driver license information for faculty, staff, and students who use cars from the university’s motor pool.
To do this, I have created two tables: tblDRIVER and tblLICENSE.
The fields in tblDRIVER are: pkfDriverIndex strLastName strFirstName strInitial strAddress1 strAddress2 strCity strState strZIP datBirthDate
The fields in tblLICENSE are: pkfUpdateIndex fkfDriverIndex datDateUpdated strState strLicNumber datExpirationDate ynViolations ynActive
Information about the driver is stored in tblDRIVER and the driver’s license information is stored in tblLICENSE. Periodically, we run a report that identifies drivers whose licenses are due to expire within a certain number of days. All this works fine.
My problem is that I am trying to create a lookup form that will load from a data entry form that will permit the Motor Pool Clerk to look up a driver by name and review the licensing information (which appears as a subform).
All this sort of works- I am using a combo box (based on a query) to look up a driver’s last name (which it does) and to populate all the driver’s information on the look-up form (including license information in a subform). Currently, the combo box locates the driver (including the unique index, last, and first names), and populates the form with first and last name but the rest of the information is not displayed on the look up form. Worse still, sometimes one driver’s last name matches up with the first name of the next driver listed in the table! This seems to happen only if a look up is attempted more than once. What gives.
Hey guys, I'm just doing this database and have suddenly realised I dont know as much about MS Access as I thought!

I have done a little database for someone so they can keep track of available dates for their apartments in Turkey. They want me to add it to their website so people can look for themselves. I know I should join a beginners web design forum, but can anyone tell me how i actually log into a website? I have the wesite address and the password. Thank you in advance Ben
one of tables requires me to store sickness details, the sickness codes are all unique, they do however start with at least one 0 for example code - 000003 Description Stress. When you enter a code access automatically trims of the 0's to leave a 3.
i am using the following query to make a table. i was wondering if anyone knew a way to have the table be named from data entered into a text box in a different form. so when different people type in different names a new different table will be created. thanks
The system I have developed lists jobs (as in jobs that staff members need to go and do) in different towns and cities. These jobs are set as active or inactive depending if completed.
I need to run a report that allows the user to find active jobs in a particular town. I have made a query and by setting the status field to a criteria of "active" this ensures that all results in the query are only active ones.
I cannot find a way to allow the person running the search to enter the name of the town that they want. This would then allow the query and then report to list all "active" jobs in a particular town.
I have a table containing all the towns so hope I can offer the user running the search a means to either type the name of the town into a box or even better (to reduce typo's) be able to choose the town from a combo box.
Once the town has been selected, the report will list all active jobs in that particular town.
I'm writing a field where it shows a combination of many fields. For example, when a user types in "abc" in field 1, "def" in field 2, "ghi" in field 3, I will have to combine the three fields into "abc/def/ghi" with slashes in between them. However I don't want to have any slashes at the front or at the back the field. There are unlimited fields of "abc" "def" "ghi" "jkl" "mno" etc. Any idea how I can write the code? I'm thinking using if statements. Is there other ways I can do this? Thanks!!
I know I should know the answer to this but if you are creating a query that includes individual fields as well as calculations based on some of those fields, do you select the source field or the query "field" when using the expression builder?
My Mgrs. have asked me to set up a spreadsheet to keep up with inventory for a certain section of the business. And I figured that in the long run it would be easier to set up a database instead of a spreadsheet. We have specific customers with specific products to keep together; and I have figured out how to fullfill this .... my problem lies with the actual inventory.
The questions:
1) Can I keep an Available tally for all products? 2) To ship out and receive in cargo do I need to make 2 tables or just 1?
I have to keep up with the location of the goods in the warehouse and I'm not sure if I should include that with the product table or a seperate inventory table.
I am not sure if I will be using the database to create 'orders' or what we call bills of lading to ship out the cargo so I'm a little lost on how to keep up with the quantity of each product in the warehouse. There is no 'reorder quantity' or anything like that. I just have to keep up with how much of each product I have in the warehouse. Then I also have to be able to keep track of what is received into the warehouse and what is shipped out of the warehouse.
Does any of this make sense? I'm so confused myself that I'm not sure that I am able to explain what I need or what my questions are without confusing any one I'm speaking with.
I have an expression in one column of my query and It keeps returning a negative result and there are no negative numbers in the source data. Can anyone help. I just want to sum the sums the two IIf expressions, but its not working. Thanks

Hey guys, I'm having two small issues with my database. The first is, I can't get my drop-down to display content on the Form "frmSearch" under "Cast".
And the second, not really a problem, more of an inquiry... on the same form, is there a way to set a default value in the "released before..." and "released after..." of "(enter year - xxxx)" and have that value not interfere with the search feature if it is left as default?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new to database creation and an eager to learn about these things. Thank you!
