How to find an exact match in a Access DB table using Sql Query in VB6 ?I know that "Like" keyword will give out all those rows which contain the search-for-string. But I want exact match.
View RepliesHow can I get an exact match in a search. If I search for say C1 I get results showing everything with C1 i.e C1, C11, C12, C13 etc. I just want to show C1's
This shows my query at present.
Like [Forms]![Search]![BoxNo] & "*"
Hi all
I'm using an array with the Instr function. The array (or the Instr function) doesn't seem to be case sensitive... which is a pain because its picking words within words where the case doesn't match!! I'd like the vales in the array to match exactly when using the Instr function
Any idea how I can get around this??
Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know how to perform an exact match using file search. The code I have below searches for the users AcroRd32.exe file (I have done it this way to allow for different versions of the reader). The problem is that foundfiles returns also AcroRd32info.exe ie FoundFiles(1). i only want to search for the prior!
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:Program FilesAdobe"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.FileName = "AcroRd32.exe"
If .Execute > 0 Then 'check if there is such a file
stAppName = .FoundFiles(1) 'then define this as the applicate string name
stAppName = stAppName & " " 'append a space or file string not correct
'specify path name for location of file.pdf
stlocation = GetPrivateProfileString32("C:WINDOWSSSI_PROGRS_DATABASE.ini", "DIR", "DATABASE_FILELOCATION")
stpathname = stlocation & "file.pdf"
Shell stAppName & stpathname, vbMaximizedFocus
Else
'if no file is found then need to instruct user to install reader
MsgBox "You need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader to open this file", vbExclamation
End If
End With
Cheers to any help..

Hello,
i'm not sure how to write a query, maybe it'll take VBA function to accomplish this, but I need to display the results for all invoices for an item.
Little background:
1. This set of invoices are of only one particular product line as it's this product line that needs this special handling. These are Guitar orders.
2. Each guitar item can have option items on the same invoice. So basically these are all considered item numbers.
3. The guitar starts as the bare / basic guitar. The customer can choose to select one or many options for a custom guitar.
4. These orders will need to have special guitar programming codes that need to be entered into their guitar programming machines. Call these "Codes".
5. Depending on the option items for the various guitar items, the Codes could vary.
6. Need to be able to display ONLY the Codes specific to the guitar or guitar and option combinations.
I have several tables:
1. Guitar for all the guitar items
2. Options for all the option items
3. ProgrammingCodes for all the programming Codes
4. ProgramCodes for creating the above combinations with a field named ComboID.
5. GuitarHeader - the invoice number and guitar item
6. GuitarDetails - the invoice number and option item (invoice number to invoicenumber link to the GuitarHeader)
Then there's a main form and a sub-form for the end-user (guitar programmer).
1. The main form is the Guitar items
2. The sub-form is the ProgramCodes fields
this form is used for this end-user select the Guitar and options (where necessary) and select the Codes and enter the ComboID for all.
for instance:
These are all the possible codes for AE185.
AND depending on the Options selected for AE185 on invoices, the Codes will differ.
The ComboID is the differentiator.
Code:GuitarOptionCodeComboIDAE185 185RR 1AE185 186RHT1AE185 187RT 1AE18538185RR2AE18538186RHT2AE18538187RT382AE185BB185RR3AE185BB186RHT3AE185BB188RT-B3AE18538185RR4AE185BB185RR4AE18538186RHT4AE185BB186RHT4AE18538188RT38B 4AE185BB188RT38B 4
so for the Codes that repeats in the ComboID is only because the Option(s) also requires that Code as well as the other Codes.
for instance, if the invoice ONLY has Option 38 from the Options defined for Codes, then the result would be:
Code:AE18538185RR2AE18538186RHT2AE18538187RT382AE185BB185RR3AE185BB186RHT3AE185BB188RT-B3AE18538185RR4AE185BB185RR4AE18538186RHT4AE185BB186RHT4AE18538188RT38B4AE185BB188RT38B4
Code:Invoice Guitar Codes123456 AE185 185RR 186RHT 187RT38 <-- say this invoice had Option 38 that was the only match234567 AE185 185RR 186RHT 188RT-B <-- because BB was the only one that matches345678 AE185 185RR 186RHT 188RT38B <-- because both 38 & BB matches
So guess the question is how do I write a query or function (VBA) to be used in a query to get the results for ONLY the matching options so the correct codes for just these options are displaying?
It's difficult to me in figuring that out. how to make sure that the result does not show the ALL the codes that match but ONLY the codes in the combinations. Again, hence the reason why I got to the point of having Combination IDs to differentiate that.
hope I made sense here. Not sure how else to ask the question other then to try and provide examples
let me know how else to explain if this is not helping.
there are certain txt boxes that once filled out, will filter a subform of a table of 1000's of records to give them a number to use on the form around 200 of the records have a depot in the "depot" field on the table, when they input a depot, it filters to them 200 fine if a depot is there,
what i want is, when they input the depot, if its there, filter it, if its not, to do nothing, as they could still get a unique number if the depot isnt in the list what happens now is, if the depot isnt in the list, it displays no records
Field : Fld_Depot
Table : Tbl_Agreement_Summary
Show : False
Criteria : Like "*" & SearchForText([Forms]![Frm_New_Accounts]![Fld_Depot]) & "*"
Or : Is Null
I have an MS Access 2010 db that has a main form called switchboard. This has 4 command buttons that open diffrent forms. Also on the main switchboard form i have an unbound textbox called TxtUserName that captures the users environ"username" when the switchboard form is opened.
I have a table called "tblAccessUsers" that i manually enter who i want to use my db. This table will have up to 50 names added to it. Their is only one field name in this table and it is "User Login".
When the user hits any of the commandbuttons on the main switchboard form i need some code that will look at the value in TxtUserName and loop through tblAccessUsers for an exact match. If it finds a match then it will carry out the open form command or if not prompt the user with a message box.
My knowledge of Access and especially VB is quite limited. I managed to create this using a DLookup but that only returns the first record in the table. The logic works but it will not look past the first record.
I have a table Billing_Temp that I need one field updated if I find a match in another table Random_Temp. I runt the query and it prompts for "Enter parameter value: Random_Temp.peopleID... what could be going on? Both tables have a field called peopleID and always Billing_temp has many more records than Random_temp:
UPDATE Billing_Temp SET Billing_Temp.audited = -1
WHERE (([Billing_Temp].[peopleID]=[Random_Temp].[peopleID]));
I am using access 2010. I have "classlevel" table with 2 columns-Class and Value1 .Value1 column has numeric values that i ll input from webpage (webpage to ms access connectivity).I want to sum the values of column "Value1" and i have another table-"Volume" which has 2 columns "VolumeLevel" and "Value2". So i want to match the sum that i calculated from first table-"ClassLevel" with the "value2" column in "Volume" table and get the corresponding "volumelevel" column value from that table and there is a third table that will get this volumelevel value.
There is no common column to join these tables.
Classlevel-
Class Value1
Class 0 3000
Class 1 2000
Class 2 300
Class 3 400
Class 4 500
Volume-

Answer that i am looking for is V1 as sum=6200 lies between 5000 and 10000 so its V1.

Background:
I have a database that keeps track of containers -what they belong to, and what is in them. Each container has a “Call #” which is labeled on the container and is a primary key in the database. The “Call #” field is set to only allow 5 characters in this field. A standard “Call #” for example is "A 152".
When a new container comes into the system, which has not been physically labeled yet, I enter it in the database a little different. So let us say container "A 152" just came in, and has not been physically labeled yet. I enter the “Call #” into the system as "MA152". The "M" tell me it still needs to be physically labeled.
When I go to label all the unlabeled containers, I print a report with all the "Call #''s that start with "M".
I have another field in the same table called "Mark". In my forms I can then go through and click a "Mark Button". The Report prints all containers where the "Mark" field = yes(True). This feature is used for a number of different reports, not just unlabeled containers. To keep the database clean and in order, all “Mark” fields reset to no(false) whenever it opens up.
Because, I used the “Mark” field for other reports, simply clicking the “Mark Button” when I enter the new container into the system will not work.
My Question:
Is There a way to have a Query search for the first letter in a field. So when I go to print my report, a query runs looking for all "Call #s" that start with the letter “M”.
Hi

as Mary's mobile
Can you help??
I have created by external data from excel, while one of the column values are showing blank.
How can i find the column having null or values in table.
Error : Type Conversion Failure (ImportError table)
Query :
Code:
SELECT * From empdetail
WHERE EmpId =IsNull ("")
From the above query, not getting the result
I have two tables (Access 2010). One with a list of names (List1) and another with a very similar list of names (List2), but they differ in very small ways. For example, List1 might have John Smith, and List2 would have Smith, John L.; and Smith, John. List2 also has a unique ID associated with these names that I need to append to List1.
I need to design a form that will allow me to look up names in List1, and have it return all names that are similar in List2. I then need to be able to choose with record in List2 matches with the List1 entry (based on a few other columns in List2, such as birth date) and have the form add that unique ID to the List1 record.
PS: I am using Access 2010
I need to write a query to find and match all numbers recorded against a list of numbers (1 - 200) and to identify those missing or not matching.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I am sure this must be simple, but I can't get my head around it.
I have a query that looks at client bank account numbers, and finds duplicates.
There are a LOT of duplicates, because we have several accounts for the same person.
What I would like to do is find all the records where the account number and sort code match, but where the account NAME is different.
I am trying to find any records where the same account number is being used on more than one account.
All the fields are in a single table.
This is what I have so far, which just finds duplicate sort codes and account numbers;
SELECT CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER, CPL_ACCOUNT.SORT_CODE, CPL_ACCOUNT.BANK_NAME
FROM CPL_ACCOUNT
WHERE (((CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER) In (SELECT [ACCOUNT_NUMBER] FROM [CPL_ACCOUNT] As Tmp GROUP BY [ACCOUNT_NUMBER],[SORT_CODE] HAVING Count(*)>1 And [SORT_CODE] = [CPL_ACCOUNT].[SORT_CODE])))
ORDER BY CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER, CPL_ACCOUNT.SORT_CODE;
Thank you!

I have parent-child one to many data in one pair of relationships, and now I've been asked to see be able to find out what matches a defined regimen; each is also defined in a parent-child relationship.
Best is to show sample data. I'm going to show them as two tables, but the "Components" are actually in a parent-child relationship, e.g.,
PersonList -= Meds
Regimen -= Meds as well
Note that PersonList and Regimen do not really have any relation; we just want to see if things are being done one of the ways they are "supposed" to be done, without a slow manual check. It's worked as set up for reports, and I really don't want to change everything to a big long list of fields, one field per med for a lot of reasons (not least of which is that is denormalizing)
Quy 1 Result:
PersList T1Component
Andrew Med 1
Andrew Med 2
Brett Med 1
Brett Med 3
Brett Med 4
Charles Med 2
Duane Med 1
Duane Med 4
Quy 2 Result
Regimen T2Component
Goody1 Med 1
Goody1 Med 3
Goody1 Med 4
Goody2 Med 1
Goody2 Med 2
I'd like to be able to do two queries - one that are "OK" one that are not. Don't need to replicate the med list, just the regimen if matching..
"Good" would return
Person Regimen
Andrew Goody2 (he has med 1, 3, and 4)
Brett Goody1 (he has med 1 and 2)
"Bad" would return
Person
Charles
Duane
What they "almost match" does not matter; it tells people which ones we need to check into a bit more.
I've set the column widths properly on the subform, but the down arrow on the list box is still outside of the selection area. It may have something to do with lookups or concatenations, but I'm not finding that so in what I can think of to trace down.
I exaggerated the width of the list box to show where the down arrow actually shows itself.
See the form "frm_Class_Skills_Update" in the attached database. I need it to be visible when the list box is about 1.25" more narrow.
Hi!
Is it possible to make such query which will find all records that have
name like keywords. These words are collected as s dictionary in another table in column name.
Is it possible to make just one query or vb script that will search through all records using all of keywords given in dictonary?
example
dictionary:
abaccus
dolphin......
.....
query find records wich name is like abaccus or dolphin or........
Thank You in Advance for any advice cause i have big problem how to figure out.....I have to do this in my job......
I'm looking for help with this error message: "Microsoft Jet database engine can't find the input table..." And the reason it can't find it seems to be that it's looking for an DBF file (which was a format I once had the data in, a long time ago) rather than the mdb file which I have been using forever. Any ideas?

How to find the Minimum value of a column. This is my SQL:
SELECT *
FROM tblFinalMaster
WHERE (((tblFinalMaster.OperatingDay)=[forms]![frmEnterParameters]![Combo13]) AND ((tblFinalMaster.[Checkout Order])=([Forms]![frm01ATFTieLineCheckout]![Checkout Order])+2) AND ((tblFinalMaster.[From BA_REPORT])=[forms]![frmEnterParameters]![Combo5]) AND ((tblFinalMaster.[TO BA_REPORT])=[Forms]![frmEnterParameters]![Combo3]));
The part in blue, instead of pulling a +2, I want the Minimum value. Seems simple enough.
