Utility To Search For Tables?

Dec 14, 2005

Hi,

Totally new to access and was wondering if there is a way to search all queries, forms, macros, etc for references to a particular table. For instance, I am adding keys to some existing tables that do not have keys and want to test all the forms where that table is used.

Its a big database and going through form by form will take a long time.

Thanks,

sal

Utility.mda

Nov 17, 2007

I have a small problem and think I have found the answer but still would like some info on it. I have a DB that was created in Access XP, One of the bosses upgrades to Office 07 full version, and only has Access 07 on his machine. The DB would not open for him..... I noticed the reference "Missing" to "Utility" Now when I open it on my laptop it's fine.... I have Office 03, Access 03 and Access 07. So I opened an old sample DB of something I found and I got the same reference error.... As it shows the path I found the "Utility.mda" and set the reference. From my searching it sounds like this "Utility.mda" was something on older versions but now is not on Office 07.... So what exactly was the "Utility.mda" what did it do, and why is it now gone???Thanks

Utility File

May 1, 2006

Hi,

im trying to fix an access program on a computer for a friend.

I have re-installed the progam and access 2000 runtime perfectly but several errors are stopping the program running. On my computer i have carried out the exact same installation procedure and it works fine. I am therefore thinking that there must be some sort of problem with his computer config.

After quite a bit of trial and error i have found the following.

In the directory of the program there exists a file called 'UTILITY', which says it is a type 'Microsoft Access Add-In'. What exactly could this file be for? It consists of several modules and tables which seem to relevant to the program. On my computer i can go into the utility file and look at the tables ok.

On the problem computer though i can get into the file but when i try to open the tables i get an error that just says 'Unknown'.
Also after a while access then completely crashes and wants to send a report to microsoft.

Also the program has worked perfectly up until lately but no idea why this has changed.

Thanks
Andy

How Can I Tell If FE Is Corrupted? Error With JET Utility.

Apr 12, 2006

The FE of my database has been crashing during the last week and there have been a few other problems. I got errors saying that the BE was an 'unrecognised format'. I remember getting a 'not a valid bookmark' error also.

Another odd thing that was happening - when I put breakpoints in my code it was not breaking and stepping through it. It was like they weren't there. I realise now that editing the code while it was in break mode may have caused problems.

I didn't realise these issues were signs of corruption (until I started reading up on the subject and searching this forum) so have no idea when it started or what could be corrupt.

I used the compact and repair facility and it seemed to work fine. I can open all the forms and reports. I also decompiled the FE and it hasn't crashed since but I don't know if the problem is completly solved. From what I've read the problem could get much worse if I don't deal with it now.

The reason that I think that there may still be a problem is teh fact that the JEt compact utility will not work. I just get an error saying 'Error compacting database' straight away.

Is there a way to tell if something is corrupt or am I worring unnecessarily?

How To Track Utility Bills???

Jan 24, 2007

I'm interested in tracking monthly utility bills....monthly charges, units/volumes, costs per unit and so on, by monthly date. Would I be OK using a single table for my data, since it only involves gas, electric and water each month? How would I chart the data, so I could see trends (i.e., cost per volume, etc.)

Are there any sample projects out there that I might be able to adapt to what I'm interested in?

I'd be most appreciative if anyone has a comment, idea or suggestion. Thanks in advance!!

Question About Auto FE Update Utility

Dec 28, 2006

Hello,

I have added this to my database but dont see how it would be used. I have a shortcut people use to access the database which ties in my workgroup file infomation so that they can open it.

Now when I send the MDE file to people they get the "dont have permission" typical response.

Now if people are goin to use the shortcut to the either my .mdb or .mde then couldnt I just make adjustments to those and then replace the file on the shared network?

Am I missing something or not seeing how this would be useful or needed?

Thanks for any insight.

Using One Search Button To Search 4 Tables In A Database?

Mar 10, 2008

I have a database that uses four forms and each form has it's own table and each form has it's own search button to find a specific record within that table. I would like to use one search button that will look at all four tables and bring up the correct record when the request number is entered. Can I link all the tables to perform this or is code required? Can someone send me in the right direction for how to do this? Give me an example of code if it's required?
Thanks for any help I can get.

Search In Different Tables

May 24, 2006

Hi All,

We have a big problem. In our database we have tables for different kind of shipments (other projects). The structure of these tables are different. Is it possible to make a search form to search for shipments in all tables.

Normalizing is not an option because this will take to much time.
We could use Union Query but then we cannot modify the data.

Thanks in advance,

Jorn

General :: Two Tables - Search And Get Name Of Column

Nov 20, 2014

I have 2 Table that I will like to search in. I want to be able to search on a date and get the “ID” and the name of the column the date was found. Is that possible? I am thinking some kind of a Search-box, that will give a table/report.

The names of the tables are “2_PT_datoer” and “2_PT_CG_datoer”

In the first I want to search in the columns: “2U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “2U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, ““4U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “4U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “8U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “8U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “6M_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “6M_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”.

In “2_PT_CG_datoer” I want to search in the columns: “Tjek_at_blodprove_er_taget_1(udfyldes_automatisk) ”, ”2U_CG-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)” etc.

NB: I need an explanation for dummies as I am new to Access/Sql/codes in general

Modules & VBA :: Search In 2 Tables For A Duplicate

May 11, 2015

I have a database for my school that I'm creating to log books read by Pupils.

I have a Read table linked to both to a Pupil table and a Book table to say that the book has been read.

When I click on a Book in a listbox this adds a record to the Read table for the pupil - this code works great.

I want to check that the book is not already there but my code is not working.

Below the ID should come from the Pupil table and BookID from the Read table.

I think this is the problem....

The code stops on the Set*rs* = *db.OpenRecordset(mysql, *dbOpenSnapshot) with "Data type mismatch in criteria expression".

At this point mysql is "SELECT Count (ID) as Total from Read WHERE ID = '952' and BOOKID = '13';"

Option Compare Database
Private Sub List5_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Rem ------ 1st SECTION
Dim db As DAO.Database

[Code]......

Tables :: Search Key Was Not Found In Any Record

Mar 30, 2013

I have a split database where the front-end links to tables in two different back-end files. (access 2010).Then, there is a lookup field in back-end#1 that looks-up a field in back-end#2. It's all been working. But... The customer wants to be able to store multiple values in that lookup. I went into back-end#1 and changed that field to allow Multiple Values and saved it. When I opened the front-end and clicked on that table I got "the search key was not found in any record" no matter what I tried.I was able to go back and delete that lookup field and recreate it w/o allowing multiple values and it's working.Is there any way to accomplish what it is that they need, the multiple values?

How To Search Through Multiple Tables That Are Different In One Database

Jul 30, 2014

Im working on a cross comparison database for the three food vendors for my boss. What is the best way to search across the three tables? They all have similar record titles but arent all uniform, and I cant change the records because I have to have the record names the same as the files that are being exported from the vendors websites. What would be the easiest way to search across three similar but not uniform tables in one database? Ive also tried to make three buttons to update the lists after I download the items to have up-to-date prices on the products but am unsure if they are actually working correctly.

Search Multiple Tables From One Form Field

Feb 18, 2006

Hello,

Stuck on a problem and was wondering if anybody has a possible solution. I currently have the beginnings of a database setup that uses a search field on a form to find a reference listing using a part number input by the user. It finds the part number, and then displays all the information about it on another part of the form. My question/problem is, I now want to expand this database to multiple specialties, all with different parts in their respective listings, so they would have different tables. The tables would be the same format, just different information. No one table would ever contain the same info.

Q: How would I set up a form to search for a unique part number over multiple tables, and return that parts info?

It works great for one table, but I am stuck on the multiple tables.

Thanks in advance!

Queries :: Search Across Multiple Tables With One Query

Apr 18, 2013

Is it at all possible to search across multiple tables with one query. I have a database with about 15 tables and my users would like to be able to search for text across all the fields in all the tables. I have a simple find record command on each table, but in case they are not sure which table to search i would like to offer a search function which in theory searches the whole database.

I have 15 tables (eg witnesses/policies/activities etc), each with different fields (eg name, address/ policy decision, policy reason/ activity undertaken, activity person etc etc) . In total i would like to be able to search about 50 fields. All i need returned from the search is the record ID from the relevant table, or anything to simply identify the record & relevant table. And then they could go to the correct place to look the record up.

I have been looking for an answer for a while. I have seen queries where you enter the parameters against each field going down a row each time for criteria being "OR" each time, but there are a limited number of rows on a query design so i run out of rows.

Queries :: Search Multiple Tables In Access?

Jul 19, 2013

I have a database built in Access 2000. It consists of the following tables:

45 tables each containing the same fields - ID, Vehicle, Fit, Part No, Qty, Level, Higher Assembly.

1 table containing the fields - ID, Part Number, Description, Issue No.

The 45 tables are each for a different vehicle build of materials, whilst the single table contains the additional common data that each vehicle form pulls in when the build of materials part number is added.

I want to be able to undertake a search across the 45 vehicle tables to look for a specific part number that I enter in the search box, and then if any is found, for all those vehicle to be displayed, along with the part number, description and issue number from the single table.

Forms :: Search And Compare Value From Three Tables In A Form

Oct 18, 2014

I have three tables: Table A, Table B and Table C

Fields of Table A: Truck No, Capacity
Fields of Table B: Consignee ID, Capacity A, Capacity B and
Capacity C
Fields of Table C: Consignee ID, Final Rate

Input form is based on Table C:

1-I select Truck No using a combo box and it shows the Capacity from Table A using DLookup.
2- I enter the id no. in the field of Consignee ID and it returns the values of Capacity A, Capacity B and Capacity C using DLookup from Table B.

So I have to write manually one final rate in the field of Final Rate in the form.So I want:When I enter id no. in the field of Consignee ID, it matches with the Capacity in Table A and shows the matched result only in the field of Final Rate of Table C.

Forms :: Creating A Search Form For Multiple Tables

Jan 9, 2014

I am creating a database of bird banding and breeding records for the refuge where I currently intern. To do this, I have created the following tables:

Adult Banding Records
Nestling Banding Records
Historical Banding Records

The specific issue:

I have already created forms for entering data into these tables, but now I would like to create a "search" form that will use the primary key (which is always the band number of the individual bird, across all tables) to search ALL the tables and pull up all the information on that record. This will be convenient when we recapture a bird that is already banded, so we can look up their information in our database. Also, since I plan to add many more tables, it would be nice to not have to search each table individually.

Queries :: Search Form That Fetches Records In Nested Tables?

May 25, 2014

I have three tables, tblPeople, tblAddresses and tblVehicles. I have a form called frmPeople that shows a single person record, and has subforms with the list of addresses and vehicles for that person (each record has several). I want to create a single search form with each of the fields in my tblPeople, tblAddresses and tblVehicle tables, and allow the user to type anything into any of the fields on the search form, and have the search form fetch records that match.

So far, I have the query built, and the tables all linked the right way (I think), and I have all the search fields coded. And it works GREAT... except for this one little issue: If I do a search, and I put "Smith" in the last name field, I will get several Smiths in my search result, one for each address and vehicle combination. In other words, if I have ONE Smith in the table, and two vehicles and two addresses for that Smith, the query results give me FOUR Smiths! One with Vehicle1 and Address1, one with Vehicle2 and Address1, one with Vehicle1 and Address2, and one with Vehicle2 and Address2.

What I would LIKE is to have ONE record in the query results, and that record shows me that one Smith. And if I then search for "Plymouth" in the VehicleType field, and I have Smith in the name field, I'll get ONE record, and it will be the one of Smith with his Plymouth (Vehicle2).

Here is how my query looks right now (this one ONLY has the last name and vehicle search function to save space), and this is the one that gives me multiple results (which I do NOT want, unless multiple PEOPLE match the search criteria):

Code:
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblPeople.LastName, tblPeople.FirstName, tblPeople.PersonID, tblAddresses.Address, tblVehicles.Vehicle, tblVehicles.Plate, tblVehicles.VehicleYear
FROM tblPeople LEFT JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.PersonID = tblAddresses.PersonID
WHERE (((tblPeople.LastName) Like "*" & [NameField] & "*")
AND ((tblVehicles.Vehicle) Like "*" & [VehicleField]));

Did I write the query wrong?
