Modules & VBA :: Custom Function Module - Find Records With Specific Keywords
Feb 28, 2014
I'm looking for some type of custom function that will search a specified column for any keywords listed inside another table.
I can run a query on each keyword individually, however there are 50 and it takes a long time each time I do it. I was hoping to write in a function for that column and it would just select all records that match.
These would all need to be a "like" with an " * " on each end of the word.
With SQL it would look something like:
Code:
select a.address1
from main_tbl as a
where a.address1 like '* north *'
or a.address1 like '* park *'
or a.address1 like '* south *';
I just want it to read each of the table values instead of hard coding them and the column name would be the function name so it can be used in any column I specify. I'm just not sure how to incorporate this into a custom function.

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?

.....

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 have this code below that is working however the calculation are updating on my form late.
Basically, I have some calculation that are performed on a "After Update" event on some controls on my form. I wanted it to do the calculation after I update the control on the form.
The code is in a module and I just call the function after update on the control But the form is not updating when I change the value in a field. I have to change the field again for it to update.
Control
Code:
Call GeraAuditCalc
DoCmd.RefreshRecord
Function
Code:
Function GeraAuditCalc()
Dim fHrs As Double
Dim Ttl As Double
Dim Ttl1 As Double
Dim Ttl2 As Double
[Code] ....

This module is giving me the "undefined function" error message when I try to run my query. I don't know why, but I have checked that there are no references with "missing" and there are not. I also added the word "Public" to the function becasue that was advised by another forum user. I thought it worked perfectly the first time I ran this query, but now it is not working and I do not recall making any changes. I have called the module basFunctions:
Option Compare Database
'************************************************* *********
'Declarations section of the module
'************************************************* *********
Option Explicit
'================================================= =========
' The DateAddW() function provides a workday substitute
' for DateAdd("w", number, date). This function performs
' error checking and ignores fractional Interval values.
'================================================= =========
Public Function DateAddW(ByVal TheDate, ByVal Interval)
Dim Weeks As Long, OddDays As Long, Temp As String

how to read a specific line in a CSV file (using VBA), to see if the phrase "There are no records available." is present.
If it is present, then I'm going to do a debug.print stating that there are no records to load - and then the script will move on to the next file. If the phrase isn't present, then I'm going to upload the file to Access, parse the information, and then upload it to a CRM. (I already have the latter portion of the code up and running....I just need to account for the first part, where I can determine if the file has data or not).
The structure of the file never changes. The first row is composed of eight column headers (Post Date, Card Number, Card Type, Auth Date, Batch Date, Reference Number, Reason, Amount) and (if) the phrase "There are no records available." is present, it will show up on the second row, in the first column (under Post Date).

I'm having a problem with argument in custom function..My table is like this:
myValues
123.5
32.7
65.8
11.1
What I want to achieve is to multiply each value with the average of all values, so that at the end I get (avg(myValues) = 233.1):
myValues2
7196.963
1905.593
3834.495
646.8525
For this I would like to have a function (this is simplified example of bigger problem, that is why I need function, otherwise simple SQL would suffice as mentioned below also), so that I could do something like this:
'SELECT TestFn([myValues]) as myValues2 From MyTable' or
'SELECT TestFn("[myValues]") as myValues2 From MyTable'
and I should get the table above.
My code is like this
Code:
Public Function TestFn (FieldName) as String
Dim myAvg as Double
myAvg = Davg(FieldName, "myTable")
TestFn = FieldName * myAvg
End Function
I understand the problem is that Davg needs string, but if I change to string then the multiplication does not work. The 'FieldName' parameter does not have a Type specified because that is where the problem is if I give string Avg works ,but calculation does not. If I give Number, avg does not work.
P.S. "as String" at the end of function is not a mistake, I need number as a string
P.P.S I did not inculde NZ either as in my example it can never be Null.

I made a custom function to look certain value from table based on couple of criteria that it gets from query where I want to use it. Function's code is below:
Code:
Public Function PotteryWeights(strLocusID As Long, nrPotSubID As Long) As Variant
Dim priSubID As Long
Dim priLocusID As Long
Dim priResult As Variant
priSubID = nrPotSubID
[Code] ...
However, when I use it in query it only returns Case else - option and everything else is empty.

I haven't created classes in a while, and I don't see what is the problem
I'm modifying a function to get fractions from double. It worked well, but it returned a string.
I need it to be in parts, so I created this class
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Entier As Integer
Public nominateur As Integer
Public denominateur As Integer
Public Function getText()
getText = Entier & " " & nominateur & "/" & denominateur
End Function
I changed the function type and the assignation:
Code:
Function GetFraction(ByVal Num As Double) As nombreEnFraction
Set GetFraction = New nombreEnFraction
If Num = 0# Then
GetFraction = "None"
Else
Dim WholeNumber As Integer
Dim DecimalNumber As Double
[Code] ....
For some reasons, when I get to the end of the function, I get a 91 error, like if it was nothing
But when I use a spy, I see values in the object until the end.

This query returns a running asset balance for 60 months. Each month is 1 column.
1) I need to create a query based on those results that can cycle through each column and determine if it is NEGATIVE. Then if it is negative, I need to perform some math on it to determine how to get it back up to being positive.
2) I need to loop through X columns based on the assets lead time. Each lead time varies and I have a master table that contains it. So if the assets lead time is 3 months, I need it to move over 3 columns and return that value. If it is 6 months then I need it to return the value in the 6th column.

I'm using a function to find all files/folders in a specific directory, then copy each one to a specific destination folder. I'm going to use this on a weekly basis to backup files on a computer. I would like to use the vbarchive in GetAttr/SetAttr so I only need to copy these if they have changed since last backup.
Something like:
If GetAttr(strFile) And vbArchive = 32 then
filecopy xxxx, xxxx
else
rs.movenext
As I understand it, a value of 32 indicates that the file has been modified since it was last backuped up (i.e. since the file attribute was "reset"). How do I "reset" the file attributes to clear the vbArchive?? I've read some google searches and the only thing I could find was the files were set to vbnormal however I'm concerned that this will erase program files that are vbReadOnly or VbHidden.

I have a field (SNumber) which is a text field and contains records that have a number which sometimes also have 2 letters on the right. ( examples: 1, 2, 3CD, 5, 6 HD). I am using the Right function in a code I am writing.
If Right (SNumber, 2) = "CD" then
.....rest of code here
I would like instead of stating actual letters to code "any 2 digits". Can this be done and what is the correct code for any digits in this instance?

I have a form with couple of textboxes bound to a table. When the user opens the form to enter records, i want to write a function that would go through the textboxes to check whether the textboxes are left NULL. Now i can write code on button click for each form, but i was wondering if its possible to write a function that could be called for each form that i have to check for null values.

I managed to create a form that is able to search keywords on Access 2007. However, the keyword search must be exact to what is contained in the table.
For example, I stored "red blue yellow" into the database, and I can only search "red blue yellow", "red blue" or "blue yellow" in order to call that data.
How do I make it such that I am able to search "blue red yellow", "yellow blue red" or "red yellow blue"?
These are my current codes:
Code:
Private Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim strWord As String
Dim varKeywords As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim IngLen As Long
[Code] ....

Basically i want the app to open small form that asks you to log in basic combo box to select user and text box to enter password well that works fine and i got it to open my main menu, but depending on whether you are a user or admin depends which menu opens.
So i used an if statement to do that part ie
If user = admin then
DoCmd.OpenForm.......
ElseIf User = user then
DoCmd.OpenForm..........
But because I use an If statement for their password
If TextBox = Password Then
Open form main menu
Else
RunMacro (displays an error message)
So I use the password one first but then i need the other to run in the place of opening the form, so in ecense
If TextBox = Password Then
Open form main menu ----- but instead of this line i want
If user = admin then
DoCmd.OpenForm.......
ElseIf User = user then
DoCmd.OpenForm..........
Else
RunMacro (displays an error message)
but it will not work, if i could get a line to run the menu select i could put it in the password one
hope this all makes sense

Is there a way to call a function stored in a module in the back-end access file from within a form in the front-end access file?
I want to be able to slip in a change to the code, and not have to then copy the changed module out to every front end file.
I am thinking that this is something that is in fact trivial to do, but for the life of me, I am drawing a blank on how to do it. Or even what search terms to use to search the help files.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
David

In an Access 2010 form is it possible to export select records and fields in those records to a specific location?
Code:
Set objDialog = Application.FileDialog(4)
With objDialog
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Title = "Please select a File"
.InitialFilename = "C:"
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox ("Action Cancelled")
Else
[code]....
The user can select the directory using the code above, but can specific fields in records be exported to a excel workbook in that selected directory?For example, if the are 5 records in the database can the fields LastName,FirstName,BirthDate in records 1,2,3 be exported to Setup.xlsx in that selected directory?

Custom filter I'm trying to set up. I have a data full of records with multiple columns and a form linked up to it. The form has a search box that works as well as navigation buttons.
Currently I am trying to get a filter to work. The filter will use up to five combo foxes to narrow down the fields, then return the filtered records after clicking a button. The button itself is where my code is. My issue now though is I cannot get the filter to work if I try to use more than one combo box.
The code I have at the moment is as follows:
'------------------------------------------------------------
' cmdApplyFilter_Click
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdApplyFilter_Click()
Me.Filter = "[Asset Group] = " & Me.cmbFilter1 & "" And "[Location] = " & Me.cmbFilter4 & ""
Me.FilterOn = True
End SubThe current error I am getting is Error 13: Type mismatch. I also know that the And might be the cause but I cannot change it to AND: it keeps changing back.

I created this function to manage a MsgBox containing all required fields with no data:
Code:
Function FormValidation(TheForm As Form) As Boolean
Dim boolResponse As Boolean
Dim strError As Variant
Dim ctl As Control
boolResponse = True
strError = Null
[code]...
Then, I have a Form_BeforeUpdate event, where I wanna place the function, which contains also some VBA code to manage duplicates records:
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset, dbs As DAO.Database, strICAO As String
Dim ctl As Control, txtMsg As String
[code]....
Now, how to add the function in this event to get these two results:
1. if required fields are blank and I press OK on the MsgBox, the routine must stop;
2. the focus must go in the first required blank control.
I tried some options but I get different kind of malfunctions: no custom message for duplicate records but only the access default one, "go to next record" feature with tab key not working and so on.

I have a database for work where I have a table of meters and a table of Faults which has a list of all faulty meters at one time. When a fault is repaired, I have a macro which updates the Meter Status to Working, adds a Fault Closed date, appends the record to the Closed table and then deletes it from the Faults table.
The user runs this from a form by clicking the Closed Fault button which activates the macro. I've added Echo on and off to hide that the form is temporarily closed while the Append and Delete queries are run and then it is re-opened again.
My problem is that the Form always opens at the first record in the Faults table. I would like it to open to the record which would have been next after the one that has been moved to the Closed Faults table.
Below is the code I have been using to test the Copying Meter Reference, closing and opening of the form and finding the correct record:-
Function CopyTest()
On Error GoTo CopyTest_Err
Dim strMeterRef As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.GoToRecord , "", acNext
strMeterRef = Meter_Reference
[code]....
As you can see I am trying to go to the next record, copy the Meter_Reference by setting it to strMeterRef and then Find strMeterRef when the Faults form is re-opened.
I have a Macro embedded in a button which calls the above Function by using RunCode but nothing happens.

Basically what I have is a form where operators can input certain information about a production process, in particular the kg input which has gone into the 'basket'. However this is divided by customer order number and sometimes more than one customers order is placed into the same basket. This means that the weight of the record is not representative of the weight in the basket, and it is the weight of the basket which determines efficiency in the process.
Each basket is designated a 'Disc Number' which is put in the basket so the parts contained can be identified after the process. What I am trying to do is right a code, whether in my table or form (or somehow creating a query) which compares the disc number of the previous record (or previous 2 or 3) and if they are the same the totals are combined. Each record the user places has a hidden ID which keeps them in order, and the records with the same disc number will always be entered after one another in that sequence.
How would I be able to code something to deal with this and where would I put it?The table in question which contains the records is called Thetatbl and then form it links to is Thetafrm. The weight of each record is contained in Orderkgtxt.

I have a split db in use by about 20 people. Ocasionally a user opens a record that is already opened by some other user and if changes are made then he gets error 7878; "the data has changed error"
Is it possible to find out which records are actually being used/open/edited in a split db? All tables are related to the main key (CallID on table Contacts).
If it was possible to find out, I could have a label show up in the db record search form telling the user not to open that record.
