I would like to use code to look at each field in my form (they are all textboxes) and if it is blank, fill it with "888". I have read enough to know I should use the NZ function, but can someone tell me how it should be written to look through every textbox on the form?
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.
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!

Here is what I am trying to do: I have a simple database with a few columns
First Last Keywords and some other ones.
What I need to do is in the interface mode I need to be able to create a txt box with a Find button next to it that will in the background search the first, last and keywords columns and then display those records to the person doing the search. Is there really any easy way for someone just starting to get this to work? Any help would be great.
Does anyone know of a way that I could search all of my queries and VBA Code for specific columns? We add and remove columns all the time and our reports and forms crash when we miss taking them all out. We have so many that it is very hard to do manually.
Ive used a wizard to create a search/find record command button. However when I click on it to find the record, after I type in value(in this case surname) I get the following pop up in a error message.
The value you entered isnt valid for this field. For example you may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the field size settings permitted.
and yet when I click ok on the error message my database displays the record I asked it to search for
:confused: Ive been and had a look at the table and all the fields are correctly set up for what they need to display eg text,number so Im guessing I have a form problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
I need to make a search form where i can search from the database access and generate the report in Excel.for example in a form there are 4 fields, I can search by field by field and press submit button then if there is no record it will pop up that no record found if there is a record so it will generate an excel sheet with formatting.
I have an access database that is being filled in with different client names. I also have a form that when filled in does a mail merge to word so that letters can be sent out to people with their personal information. I want to know how to search in the database and when I click on the appropriate client it will put the information into the form. I have Office 2010 products and am using windows 7. Let me know if you need more information and I can supply it. The other option is that I create a seperate search form and when I search for something it will pull up multiple results in a grid and then from there I can click on the client that I want and send it to the 1st form.
I will firstly give you the low down on the business that I am doing the database for. It is a Car Restoration Business, where we deal with vintage/classic/muscle cars and restore them to the former glory.
I do not know Microsoft Access very well, I have attached a file with what I think is a databae I could be wrong. The main function of this database is to search for suppliers for a specific car part for a specific car.
So if I want to find a doorhandle for a 1970 Ford Mustang, I need the suppliers pertaining to those criterias to come up.
I am trying to make a multiple field search function with VB in access: private sub search (table1.field1,table1,field2....) ........ end sub I Would like to know how i can send a field of a certain table as a parameter of a function?
also how i can know that i have arrived to the end of the column in the table?
Hi i have a small problem that i hope you maybe able to answer.
I have creted an access data page, which works ok. However i really would like the option to search on a certain field to lookup a record. Is this possible?
I understand that there are filter options, but i need to define just one field, for one record.
The nature of this database is to store info on batches we produce, therefor it's important i can search via a batch number.
I managed to create a form that is able to search keywords on Access 2007. However, the keyword search must be exact to what is contained in the table.
For example, I stored "red blue yellow" into the database, and I can only search "red blue yellow", "red blue" or "blue yellow" in order to call that data.
How do I make it such that I am able to search "blue red yellow", "yellow blue red" or "red yellow blue"?
These are my current codes:
Code: Private Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate() Dim strWhere As String Dim strWord As String Dim varKeywords As Variant Dim i As Integer Dim IngLen As Long
I am trying to create a search box in Access 2010 inside a form. I have managed to create a search using the 'Surname', but what I am unable to do is to factored in multiple records with the same surname.
Currently, the search field sits within the Form Header bar. I enter the surname or part of surname and click the command button which searches. Using MoveFirst and FindFirst, it jumps the form for the first record that matches (or partially matches).
However, there will be occasions where there will be more than one record that matches. What I want to do is to be able to jump to the first record, but if thats not the one I am looking, if you click search button again, it jumps to the next matching records etc... until I hit the I want?
I have tried the MoveNext, Previous, Last commands, but they dont work. Any quick fire coding out there?
How to search an Access table for unwanted <cr> characters
Occasionally a stray carriage return <cr> Ascii 013 character finds its way into an Access table. These destroy the database when the table is processed by an outside utility for data cleansing.
To prevent this from happening, we have been told to clean the table before submitting it, i.e. remove all of the following:
carriage return, comma, double quotes, equals, greater than, smaller than
Is there any utility available which will remove all these characters when being run only once? (i.e. not find/replace which has to be started separately for each of these characters)
How do I search for a <cr>, even with find/replace?
this is the code that im using to help me with a listbox and a search text box that is embedded on my main form. it works ok. The problem is, i was trying to link an already filled out Table with data to this interface.
When i key in information from the form it works, but when i just enter stuff through the table (which was already completed and handed to me) When I click in the listbox on the main form the code window just pops up showing this section of my code. Help./

I’m having problems trying to construct a database for my company. They need the database to enter information about certain insurance policies that our company has. We have a table setup and ready to go. I need to allow multiple users to add records to the database so I want to setup a Data Access Page to accomplish this. However, there’s a problem I’m still stuck on.
In the Data Access Page, I need the ability to search and display a record designated by the primary key field (policy number). I found code to do this, however when I click the button, input a known policy number at the prompt, and click ok, it displays Error: 3265 the item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal. Here’s the code from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010345491033.aspx
