Advanced Search Box
I want to make something similar to the Google search box, although not quite as complicated. I would like to be able to type more than one word in a search box. I am only searching on 1 field [Title]. The query would show all the records with the first search word in the Title, plus all the records with the second search word in the Title. I have a query now that has the below in the Title field criteria: Like "*" & [forms]![Searchform]![searchcontrol] & "*" This searches for the word typed into the searchcontrol no matter where the word is in the title. It works great, but I can only type in one word at a time.

Advanced Form/Report
Please help me if you can. We are in a state of panic right now in trying to figure this out and any help would be appreciated. Basically I have tried many different angles and have not come up with a solution that works. I have spent 80+ hours trying to figure this out with no luck. Here is what we need to do: We have a database that has data that needs to be printed on a 3"x6" sized tag. Now there are probably 5 or so different tags that need to be printed. What we need to happen is be able to provide a way to print out all the tags at the same time. The problem is I cannot seem to create one report that will generate all the tags correctly (I could create the code to do this in a form, but I can't get it to work in a report), and I don't know how I would combine multiple reports so that all the tags can be printed at once. Do you have any ideas on how I can do something like this?

Advanced VBA Wait In Subroutine Until Form Is Closed
Hi all. I have a form that opens up another form when you click on a button. The button does more than just open the form, it does other checks. I want to wait until the opened form is closed to continue with the subroutine. Is this even possible in VBA? I was wondering if there was a frmFormName.IsOpen or some kind of flag that would tell me if a form is open or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sub open Checks things Checks things checks things Opens form(frmDetails) Wait for form to close (THING I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IF POSSIBLE) Checks things Checks things end sub

Advanced Customization
This should be a piece of cake for someone with a few experience years on me. I have a client for which I am building a custom database. They use this for various reasons. One main reason is to track man hours, cost, billing information on a per job/customer basis. Each of their customers has a unique contract. Which specifies the information required in order to bill the customer for a job. For example: Customer "Big Factory" requires PO# and Job#. The contract also specifies the billing rate for each piece of equipment and each type of employee. For example: For customer "Big Factory" again, we charge $10 a day for a pickup truck and $20 an hour for a welder. Customer "Little Factory" has a different contract with different rates and required fields. *Now I have all of the above under control (in my opinion)* Following is part is where I struggle. Each contract also specifies which hours (on a daily basis) are standard work hours and which are premium work hours, as well as, at what point (# of weekly hours) to start billing only premium hours during the remaining part of the week. For example: "Big Factory" Standard hours are from 07:00 to 17:00, Premium are from 17:00 to 07:00, Weekly premium start once an employee has worked 40 hours for that week regardless if the employee has worked some hours for another client(*Exceptions do exist where the employee must work 40 hours for the client before the weekly premium kicks in*). I need this to automatically calculate for each employee. It must update each time sheet that the employee exists on. Currently I have it working in a rather unorthodox way, but it isn't exactly scalable to work for each customer's unique contract. I can post how I have it, but it will be quite a long post. It has to do with a running sum query then a make table query then an update query. One other caveat: My client pays their employees premium pay on a 40 hour work week (>40 per week is premium time) regardless of which hours they work. (Seems like they are ripping the employees off I know). I posted this once before, but had received only a negative post chewing me out for not being fair. Anyway... If presented with this how would you do it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric

Advanced Query Help
The below Stored Procedure was refined to incorporate a UDF. My problem now is that I need it to be even more dynamic. I ideally need the user to have the option to select which fields are incorporated into the query. I have the front end framework although not sure currently how to make field selection dynamic... CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_ClientQuery ( @inputRegion varchar(500), @inputPub varchar(500), @inputCountry varchar(500) ) AS SELECT dbo.tblClient.Country, dbo.tblClient.cName, dbo.tblClient.clientID, dbo.tblClient.Wholename, dbo.tblClient.TelNumberG, dbo.tblClient.TelNumberD, dbo.tblClient.City, dbo.tblPublication.pName FROM dbo.tblOrders INNER JOIN dbo.tblClient ON dbo.tblOrders.clientID = dbo.tblClient.clientID INNER JOIN dbo.tblPublication ON dbo.tblOrders.id = dbo.tblPublication.id WHERE (dbo.tblClient.Region IN (select value from fnSplit(@inputRegion,',') )) AND (dbo.tblPublication.pName IN (select value from fnSplit(@inputPub,',') )) AND (dbo.tblClient.Country IN (select value from fnSplit(@inputCountry,',') )) GO This is becoming pretty complicated so any help appreciated.

Help With Advanced Problem
Hi there - I'm trying to produce an application in Access to populate a CD information data base. I have signed up for (and downloaded) the GraceNote SDK (they're the folks who operate CDDB these days) and it seems to work - at least early tests show that the VBScript sample works to a point with their ActiveX component. My problem is that of retrieving the TOC from the cd. Now, I'm not a professional developer though I have written code before (C for an OS/2 application - no, don't laugh) and some stuff in REXX. However, I am totally baffled by this one. Their SDK indicates that I need to call their function and pointing it at the CD device by using the MCIDeviceID. Now, try as I might, I can find no reference which is helping me to identify what this is and how it is formatted. As I understand it, I should be able to do this from within a procedure behind a control on a form - as I say the other bits seem to work ok. Can anyone help me please?? It's probably a very simple thing if you know it - unfortunately, I don't :( Thanks in advance, regards, Chris B

Advanced Sort/filter
I am using a handheld scanner to scan in barcodes. However the part numbers contain more data than I need. Is there a way to get ride of the extra data I scan in in Access. Say I have part ABCD- 7G675 .. I only need 7g675 to be in the field. Is there a way to do this besides a find replace, that would take way to long.

Advanced QBF And Importing Into Access
Hi everybody! :) After a week of hair pulling problems with no solution, I've decided to ask my question here, knowing someone will be able to help me... To the point: I'm to use a QBF with more then one criteria, (I'm using: like "*" & forms![f_name]![TB_first_name] & "*" or is null), I'm having a problem with this because when I leave a text box blank, it retrieves everything (because is null = true), what I'm trying to say is: I have a QBF when using, lets say, 3 text boxes, unless I fill all of the text boxes with text, the query retrieves all of the records, can it be fixed ? I've tried to use IIF but with no success... can anyone help ? :confused: and another problem: while trying to import data which is not in English, from a Visual FoxPro data base to access, it turns out unreadable, what can I do to transform ASCII to ANSI or Unicode? :confused: p.s. - Sorry for my English TIA WildCat

Advanced Employee Schedule
Hello Everyone I need to make an employee schedule in access. I am not sure if it is possible, but here are my constraints: 20 employees 5-6 different truck locations (sm1, sm2, sm3, sm4, sm5, sm6) These locations are scattered within our service area. 2 employees must meet at the same truck, (each truck has 2 employees working on it) some employees can only meet at certain locations (ex. paul can meet at either sm2 or sm3) all employees are PT so they can only work on certain days or a certain amount of days per week. (ex. paul can work up to 4 days a week and jim can work only sat and fri) I would like to make a program in access that will take all these factors into consideration. EX. if i try to schedule paul on sm4 the program will not let me do it or it will give a warning or if i try to schedule paul for 5 days it will give me a warning. It would also be great to have a counter that will show how many days each employee has left to be scheduled for, EX: if i scheduled paul for 2 days it will show that he can actually work 2 days more if i need him to. I know this might be a lot, but i also know there are so many talented people here so i am sure it is feasible. Please let me know if you know how to do this or if you could guide me through it. or if you know about a different program that can solve this please let me know Thanks in advance

Advanced Querie Problem
Hello gurus I have a d/base (Access 2000) and within this I need to filter out some records insurnace related so I have a location code of ten venues coded 2-11 in a table and I need to extract out informaiton on all of these in one table I date a date of event and a sum insured , what I need is date difference between date to be enter on a form (default Now()) and the date of the event - this is the easy bit Now i need to split these out in batches of 30 days into columns ie 1-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 etc until >240 days the sums insured need to be in the right date column example event 1 sum insured @ 25,000 is 45 days away from now so it should appear in the 31-60 column and if there more than 2 events at that venue one being 45 days and the other being 55 and with sums insured @ 25,000 and 35,000 I need them to either be on a line each or combined to give a total of 60,000 in the 31-60 date column There could be up to 20,000 - to 100,000 of which the code will extract the venue codes of 2-11 and these could be high hundreds records to check and this will be a regularly run question any thoughts on this would be welcome - each appraoch I take seems to weird and getting nowhere - i thought about putting a date difference field on my table but it doesn't seem liek the right thing to do as I would have to update this consantly or rather remember to run this query before I run my report - and this just seems wrong any thoughts

Advanced Searching Through Forms
ok, i have just had a lengthly conversation with my user and i need an advanced search system. what i would need is a search function, that does not only list the full field details from each record in the combos.. here is what i mean.. i have a quotation form with different locations and prices in a list box. i have a text box at the top of the form with an onchange event that alters the results in the list box. so if the user types 'a'.. only the axxxxx records are displayed.. if they type 'ab' only the 'abxxxx records are shown.. and so on. because my customer may not remember the exact address of their pickup or destination, i cant use this system, because i wont know the first letter of the details previously entered.. eg.. a user may have been picked up from '5 house street, new hampshire crescent. if all the customer remembers is 'hampshire crescent.. then the above system will not reveal my record.. therefore i would need a search box at the top that allows me to search for any word (or identical consecutive characters) within a chosen field. can this advanced string search be done in access?

Advanced Import Question
My company just sent all of our contacts to a data company for them to update and "scrub" them with what they have. We sent out 5000 contacts (company, contacts, address, etc) and they sent back a list 0f 2000 that they matched in their database and gave us the "updated" version. My question is...what is the best way to upload them back into the database replacing the original versions without losing the other data the Scrubbing company didn't have? thanks a lot

Advanced Mail Merge Question
Hi Guys I know this isn't strictly access but I'm running out of ideas. I have a merge from my DB to Word and then Word to Outlook. It works quite well but there are a few things I would like to implement to save time for my users. 1) After the data has been merged with word is there a way to automatically fill in the subject field and send it as an email to outlook i.e macro/scrpit in word, access commands 2) Can I have an automatic way of chaning who the mail is sent from. I use my DB to send emails to artists to tell them they are going to be played on our playlists. Each show has a different email (the presenters email). The current method I use is to have my user change his default mail address in outlook to the presenters then do the merge. But he then has to wait for all the mails to send, then change the default again and repeat. This can turn a 2 min job into 30 mins because of the waiting. It also adds a human error potential of selecting the wrong mail address. Any ideas what I can do to remedy these? Perhaps a decent third-party add-in? Thanks Adam Greer

Problem With Advanced Append Query
Hello all nice to see you again, I am having a problem creating an append query to populate multiple records from input on a form. The field on the form is a date field. To sum it up, the user will type in the date and click the commit button that runs the query. The query will take that date and create a record for each task in a list (separate table). I created an 3 expressions that point to the fields on the form to append to the key fields and date field in the completed tasks table. PARAMETERS Forms![NewJobSetup]![JDE Number] Long, Forms![NewJobSetup]![JDE Division Code] Text ( 255 ), Forms![NewJobSetup]![DateCommitted] DateTime; INSERT INTO CompletionLog ( [JDE Number], [JDE Division Code], TaskName, DateComplete ) SELECT [Forms]![NewJobSetup]![JDE Number] AS Expr1, [Forms]![NewJobSetup]![JDE Division Code] AS Expr2, [MasterTaskList]![ID] AS Expr3, [Forms]![NewJobSetup]![DateCommitted] AS Expr4 FROM MasterTaskList INNER JOIN (JobTable INNER JOIN CompletionLog ON (JobTable.[JDE Number] = CompletionLog.[JDE Number]) AND (JobTable.[JDE Division Code] = CompletionLog.[JDE Division Code])) ON MasterTaskList.ID = CompletionLog.TaskName; Please feel free to take a look at the DB I have attached to see what I am trying to do. Any leads on where to check for problems would be appreciated. Thanks Rob

Advanced Ranking Query Options…
I have been developing a website where users enter details about positions that they would like to fill. Other users enter details of positions that are available.

[Advanced]Question About Adding New Record Into Two Tables
Hello, I am a newbie in this forum. Recently, I am helping my friend to write a simple accounting software based on Access. I have finished most of the neccessary tables, forms and reports by following the Microsoft Sample Database (NorthWind). The following is my difficulties: I want to have another table (bank) to store up 1.the amount of each customer need to pay by checking each order's customerID 2. The amount the customer has paid so far, so i can know how much he/she still need to pay In order to update this table, once there is new order added in the order table, i need to know that and update it, but how? I have used a form and subform to input the order detail, and the order table is automatically updated once data is input. How can i trigger the update of the "bank" table??
