How To Search For Words Out Of Order In An Access Search
May 15, 2006
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!
I havent used access before and need a easy way to seach through 1300 records i have created in a form. Each record has 6 criteria, some with drop down options. I would like to create a button that when you type into a box and click this button it will search all my records and bring up a list of all the records containing the key words searched for.
I am having some difficulty putting togather a small database (attached).
Basically I want to be able to search for mutiple words and get the results
There are 3 main columns in the main table
1) Shop 2) Part Number 3) Part Type
Problem 1:I have created a lookup table (with check boxes) for ComboBoxes in a form but I do not know how to connect it so that when I click on the comobo box it gives me the all different (Shop numbers/part number/Part types) to select from.
Problem 2:Once I have made my selection I want to search and run query to show me the results. I know that once multiple items are selected in a combo box they are separated by commas/space, so the search must take that in account.
Other nice to have 1) If Shop 1 is selected then only the parts which were sold from shop 1 to appear in the Part number Box & visavera & same goes for Part type.
2) Ability to do a wildcard search so if I Enter "A" in part number I can see all the resealts
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.
I'm opening a search form using DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acFormDS, , stLinkCriteria for user filtering purposes. I added a column which it now appears as the last column - I need it to be the 4th WHEN THE FORM OPENS. I can move after it opens, but it won't default there. Tried rebuilding the query and the form, but it still opens with this column at end of form - how can it be placed where I want it?
why the code below is not functioning properly. When I type in an acronym in the textbox, it keeps saying there is an error "Run-time error '3345': Unkown or invalid field reference 'ABO'." I do have ABO in the field.
The dysfunctional code:
Code: Private Sub btnFind_Click() If (TxtFind & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone rs.FindFirst "[Acronym] = " & TxtFind
[Code] .....
The red highlighted line is where the debugger leads me to. Something with identifying the field? I would like to enable the search procedure to search throughout the entire records rather than just a specific field. How may I write such a line or two?
I have a form that has a subform on it. The main form shows a category of furniture and has custom navigation buttons and a search text box for asset numbers and command button that runs the search. The subform shows the asset numbers associated with that furniture category, sometimes there is only one asset number, in other cases there could be 60. There is a scroll bar to scroll through the asset numbers when there are too many to see in the initial window.
The buttons all work as they should except when I search for an asset number that is part of a category that has too many asset numbers to show in the main window. When this happens the "previous" and "next" navigation buttons do not take you to the previous or next record. All of the other buttons on the form work though - you can go to the first, or the last record, and you can search for a new asset.This is the code for the search:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAssetSearch_Click() Dim rs As Object If IsNull(Me.TextAsset) Or Me.TextAsset = "" Then MsgBox "Please type in an asset number to search for.", vbOKOnly Me.TextAsset.SetFocus
[code]....
I've also attached a picture of what I mean when I say there are more asset numbers than what the window shows.
I currently have a database with a few search forms. I recently attempted to add a box on one of my search forms to search 3 cells of a record for a key word. What happens is when I go to search, say for P0442, it does not bring up all of the records that contain that keyword in the 3 cells I have outlined. If I step down the code in the OR boxes of the query, it seems to work better but then for some reason my other search criteria , (Tracking number etc) does not work. I will upload the database for reference. I am currently working on the Search(View Only) and that is where you will find the query to work on.
I'm having Table with some universities name and i want web link address for all universities. Take university from table1 in column1 and search on google page and return first link of the search page and save into column2...
I have a search form that uses a query to show results of a search, but everytime I press search everything comes up even though I have entered search parameters, even though my search requeries every time and the search used to work before I added new records today. Also when I press the query alone on the navigation pane it asks me for the parameters and then it actually works but it won't when I use my form.
1. I created a form with some search-fields which are related to a query. Then I added a Subform in which I put some more Search criteria (So that I can easily hide and unhide those additional searchfields). It sounds strange but is necessary ;-). Now I related those searchfields in the subform to the same query. When I run that query a window pops up that I should put in a value in all those searchfields which are in the subform. But I told Access that it should display all rows, if there is no value in those searchfields. Just as I did it with the Searchcriteria in the Main form. Do I have to do something special, when I have a query which is related to two Forms?
2. I want a searchfield to search in three different columns. Usually the value will just be found in one of those columns. As the Table I search is very long and has many searchfields and multiple of those will relate to more than one column, is there an easy way to do it in VBA? As I did it by using the "or" field when designing a query, but this seems very slow and unstable.
I am creating a a text box where the user enters a text then clicks an option from the option that is used as the criteria for the search e.g. Last Name, Phone , address then a command button wil run a query.
I have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.
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.
I am using access 2010. I technically have an unbound form but I am changing the record source by command buttons. Switching between 3 command buttons. My problem is that I have a subform that I was linking to the form to an unbound search field. Now I want to switch the master and child links to a field on the form when I switch the record source which happen to be the same field as the unbound search field; however; it still pulls from the unbound search field rather than the field on the form. Do I need to delete the search field in order to get is to point to the appropriate field?
SELECT Table1.*, Table1.[Winning Contractor] FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.[Winning Contractor])=[Who was the winning bidder?]));
This works well except if the user doesn't captialize a letter or doesn't type in the full company name. Is there a way to change this search to a like search instead of an exact one?
I have a main form with a search command button in the header. This search facility looks for information in a subform. At the moment I can't seem to get it to work.
Main form called Building Subform called LineTypeSub Field its trying to search is called Line
I have built a custom search form in a MS Access 2010 database so that users can find specific records to edit. After entering the search criteria and hitting a Search button, another form opens up that shows the search results. This second form includes a command button for generating a report of the search results.
Right now, the custom search form and the search results form are both working properly, but the search results report is showing every record in the database instead of just the search results. This is true whether I access the report via the command button in the form or the navigation pane. I'm not sure if I need to correct my VBA code or the report's properties.

I'm trying to figure out, how to make seach form with one text field, that will accept OR statements. I have one table with fields name, category, and description. Is there any chance to make search like this: User will put "part of the string" OR "part of the string2". Result will be the list of the records that include these parts of the strings in any of the given above fields (name,category,description) I hope i'm clear enough
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.
