Hello,
I'm new to using Access, and come from a library background, and I'm trying to use Access to build a library database. So far it's going well, but when it comes to searching using a form and applying a filter I can only get it to search one field at a time, and really I want to search two or more depending on which field I'm using.
Is this possible? and how do I do it?
Any help very would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Ive designed a databse - no problem. Ive done all queries I need to - no problem. Ive designed forms for entering data and reports for showing data - no problem. THE ONE PROBLEM I have is with 1 field.
The problem is that the field is a memo box, used to add data on groups attended. For example: General, customer care, mystery shopping.
Can I run a query so that a different user can search the memo box for attendence to a certain group? eg, search this databse and field for customer care.
At the moment I can only seach on the first word in the field. I dont really want to have seperate fields as each employee can have attendence to different groups ie bo can have just general while bill has general, mystery shopping, customer care etc.
Any help would be great
:mad: I have a combo box which is being used for surname searching. It displays surnames in the first column and first names in the second column. I would like the user to be able to type or select a surname from the dropdown list and where there are multiple entries of that surname select the correct record. At present the first matching surname is the one that keeps being selected.
I am displaying the complete record in fields lower down in the same form.
I also have a firstname search combobox but the code will be almost identical.
Can someone help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.
I have around twenty shipment tables for different days and one main store check table.In the shipment tables i have bill numbers that correspond with shipping id's and in the store table i only have bill numbers.
I would like to check if the bill number in the store table appears in all 20 tables.after doing that i want the corresponding shipping ID to appear in the store table. Is this possible?
Morning all,
Quick question... I figured out how to make all the searching items work... individually. The problem is is that I want to be able to search with two fields at a time. For example, say i have mo, date, job, pay and i want to seach for the MO and JOB and query the results accordingly. I can't get it to do that. Would I have to make a large If statement? I'm not entirely sure. Also now my problem is that it won't execute my first if statement or I should say it ignores it all togeather. I know it executes the code in the order it is written. If someone could shed some light I would be much apprecative. As always here is the code and attached is the program. What I'm working on is in the query table.
I also would like to be able for it to say if the fields MO and JOB do not comeup witha result for a messege to display there is no result. Or if the field is null not to do anything. I tried doing that in some of my code to no success perhaps I did somthing wrong.
Have a great day!

Hi there, I am currently working on our intranet at work and am creating an Access database so we can record all of the box files at our storage facility.
One of the fields is called 'contents', which is a Memo field, where the person who is inputting the data will describe what is in the box. They will then use the autonumber generated by the database to label that box.
That way we can locate the boxes much easier than at the moment.
I have created a results page with a search box at the top using ASP in Dreamweaver CS3 and it works fine if I replicate EXACTLY what is written in the contents memo field.
ie: if the contents field for record number one reads
'Archived box of insurance documents dating back to 1999'
I would need to type in that exact phrase to pull that info back.
What I want it to do is if I was to put in '1999' or 'insurance' then it would return the same result (and others with those specific words).
What do I need to do in my code?
Here is the current code
Code:<%Dim rs__MMColParamrs__MMColParam = "1"If (Request.QueryString("content") <> "") Then rs__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("content") End If%><%Dim rsDim rs_cmdDim rs_numRowsSet rs_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")rs_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_intranet_STRINGrs_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM archive WHERE content = ?" rs_cmd.Prepared = truers_cmd.Parameters.Append rs_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 200, 1, 255, rs__MMColParam) ' adVarCharSet rs = rs_cmd.Executers_numRows = 0%><%Dim Repeat1__numRowsRepeat1__numRows = -1Dim Repeat1__indexRepeat1__index = 0rs_numRows = rs_numRows + Repeat1__numRows%><%Dim MM_paramName %><%' *** Go To Record and Move To Record: create strings for maintaining URL and Form parametersDim MM_keepNoneDim MM_keepURLDim MM_keepFormDim MM_keepBothDim MM_removeListDim MM_itemDim MM_nextItem' create the list of parameters which should not be maintainedMM_removeList = "&index="If (MM_paramName <> "") Then MM_removeList = MM_removeList & "&" & MM_paramName & "="End IfMM_keepURL=""MM_keepForm=""MM_keepBoth=""MM_keepNone=""' add the URL parameters to the MM_keepURL stringFor Each MM_item In Request.QueryString MM_nextItem = "&" & MM_item & "=" If (InStr(1,MM_removeList,MM_nextItem,1) = 0) Then MM_keepURL = MM_keepURL & MM_nextItem & Server.URLencode(Request.QueryString(MM_item)) End IfNext' add the Form variables to the MM_keepForm stringFor Each MM_item In Request.Form MM_nextItem = "&" & MM_item & "=" If (InStr(1,MM_removeList,MM_nextItem,1) = 0) Then MM_keepForm = MM_keepForm & MM_nextItem & Server.URLencode(Request.Form(MM_item)) End IfNext' create the Form + URL string and remove the intial '&' from each of the stringsMM_keepBoth = MM_keepURL & MM_keepFormIf (MM_keepBoth <> "") Then MM_keepBoth = Right(MM_keepBoth, Len(MM_keepBoth) - 1)End IfIf (MM_keepURL <> "") Then MM_keepURL = Right(MM_keepURL, Len(MM_keepURL) - 1)End IfIf (MM_keepForm <> "") Then MM_keepForm = Right(MM_keepForm, Len(MM_keepForm) - 1)End If' a utility function used for adding additional parameters to these stringsFunction MM_joinChar(firstItem) If (firstItem <> "") Then MM_joinChar = "&" Else MM_joinChar = "" End IfEnd Function%>

Thanks for any help that could come my way!!

I have a database that I am creating for my work. I have a form that I am trying to get it to search the information from a table to pull the record on the form. I would like to search infomation such as employee id and wanting it to pull that information from the table.

Hi. Please do not lecture me on database normalization, as this truly is not in my control.
I have 2 dozen tables, each with 13 fields. All of the field names exist in at least 12 of the tables. And all tables share a ssn field where values are common.(Confused yet? Sorry, if you are...)
If I design a query showing all 2 dozen tables and their fields...
Can I set up a query criteria where I enter the requested ssn and then the required field name and have the result show the values of all the fields with that name, among the ones of the 2 dozen tables where that field name exists? (for that specified ssn)
If I am only as clear as mud, please let me know, and I will try again.
Or, by asking if I can search for field values querying by field name, am I any clearer?

Hi, I have two questions which i dont think are two far apart, hence same thread.
First is, how do i make a search text box, that when i click a button searches for what is in that text box, rather than bringing up the find box. It is alright but it always compares it to what was last tabbed, or is the selected tab, and i want it always to compare to another textbox called company name.
secondly. I am often entering entries to the database with the same details. but a different name, how can i have it so that i enter say 4 or 5 names which starts 4 or 5 new records, but then places the rest of the details across all the new records.
THANKS

Hey all.
I have a database but want to create a Search function.
I want the search function to read a drop down box for a table name, then read two text box's for search criteria then search the table and displat results.
My knowledge of Microsoft Access is limited.
I think I have the theory behind it but not the know how for the coding.
So far I have been able to get it too look at the List Box for the table name then when I hit the search button ive set it to just open the table for now.
but cant get any further, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have built a basic database to hold details on all my computer books and software as i hundereds of them.
I have built a table with text, number and memo fields which i want to be able to search.
What i would like is a form where you can enter details into various fields (eg Title, Author, a field to search all fields, etc) and then display the results in a table in the form below it. Then when the record is double-clicked it opens the record ina new form displaying more details.
Is there a way to do it as i have spent months trying to figure it out and trying to include the sample databases?
I have attached my database so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello, I'm trying to search an entry of a recordset with VBA
The entry can only be found by searching 3 field values. In my case the correct entry can only be found if the data in the field Date, No_Employe and No_Project all match the data of the entry I want.
Findnext doesn't work, it only access one field and I need three.
Seek doesn't work since it need to search a key, and neither Date, No_Employe or No_Project are keys.
How can I proceed ?
Should I use multiples Findnext ( how do I do that ? ) ?
EDIT :
Also please note that I'm searching for 400-500 entries in a row, so speed is an issue.
Hi All,
I have a small yet important question to ask. I have a text box on a form, that text box accepts a product number that the user wants to modify. I want to be able to do the following:
- If the product number does not exist, prompt with an error message (this part is not a problem).
- If the product number does exist, populate the text boxes on the form with the respective data. ex: Product number 512547. Does exist, hence: (TB = textbox)
Prd. No.TB = 512547
Rec'd Date.TB = 10/10/2006
Comments.TB= blah blah blah, etc.
I am simply trying to pull information from a table into text boxes on a form using a text box.
THANKS A MILLION!
In my Access DB, I have a field named ‘REFNO’. This contains reference numbers of some communications. I have a Combo Box to search records with this ‘REFNO.’ It so happened that there were two communications with the same REFNO. When I typed the wanted number in the Combo Box, only one record was displayed in the form which was not the one I wanted. I was able to see the other record by opening the table. Is there a way to display the next record with the same number in the form with the Combo Box? Grateful for help.

I have a database and I made a query to search records. The query worked perfectly, but now the only problem is that if a search has an ID number that is bigger than 239, the results will not be displayed. The query will be empty! :S
What is the problem with my query?

I have to database where people enter information and some times miss entering in a field value called [Scanned Invoice] the db automatically gives every entry a date.
The first part was find out which jobs where missing a [scanned invoice] 24hrs ago by making a query [scanned invoice] Is Null [Date Entered] =date()-1 which works fine.
I then realised that sometimes people access the system on a saturday and as the system used globally and different countries have weekends on different days and theres the issues of every country having different back holidays. So i think that rules out networking days.
Is there away where i can get the query to check if the previous day had and entry and keep going back until it finds the next entry?
I tried an iif statement but i am new to Access and i could not get it to work.
I have tried iif(date()="0",date()-1) that seems to work but i can not get it to work any futher? HELP????
Hello Access Fans!
I've got this query whereby i would like to find the address information about people by a keyword search on either their name or their quickname which currently looks like this:
SELECT Tbl_Addresses.*
FROM Tbl_Addresses
WHERE ((((Tbl_Addresses.Name)OR(Tbl_Addresses.Quickname) ) Like "*" & [Enter a Name] & "*"));
However this doesn't return any results? it works if i search for just the Tbl_addresses.Name or the Tbl_Addresses.Quickname but not for both? does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you

I have a problem with an SQL query that is used to create a report, the query itself works fine, however I need to get it to do something extra. Basically we have a column that contains 1-3 letters. The letters are A, B and C. The query searches the database and returns result depending on which of the letters we entered. We do this using the like statment -:
SELECT * FROM TableUser WHERE UserType LIKE B
So the above SQL statement returns all entries with the letter B in the column UserType. Also we my need to search for AB, which returns all entries with AB and ABC. The problem is that we sometimes need to search for AC, which should return the values AC and ABC. The problem is that it only returns the values AC and not ABC. I know why it does this as it is searching for a string like 'AC', I am just not sure how to get round the problem. Is there a way of searching the string for the Value AC so that it returns the entries AC and ABC.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers

i know how to do it in a normal query (using the LIKE command) but it doesnt work when i try it in the switchboard
