The is most likely an object reference error. Make sure that whatever you label your "List Box" is what is referenced in your VBA. For example: In the video he named the List Box "SearchList". So his VBA code appeared as follows: Searchlist.Requery. If you named your List Box for example: ListBox 1. Your VBA code would be: ListBox 1.Requery.
Hi - I’ve implemented this with great success so I thank you. I’m trying to develop my database further however I’ve hit a roadblock, it seems this method only works where the field is short text, however I wish to search a long text field - is this possible? If so how?
i added a new ID 97 (AUTONUMBER)to my table and my search button will not return id 7 when enter 7 in the search box it returns 97 the new ID? but 17 27 27 47 57 67 77 87 are all fine. this has me really confused????
Formula for multi field Search. Go to table Query and make new Feild there Write this. Multi:[FName]&""&[LName]&""&[Company] Result will show in Query JohnSmithSugarMill Now Search from this field criteria what you made. Like "*" & Forms!Fquery![SearchBox] & "*" Goto Table Query Form And Edit Seachbox Textbox go to Afterupdate and go to Vba write there Me.Requery or Me.Refresh. That's All.
This just does not work... dunno why... i did it exactly as you did, but it is not updating when i type in... it only updates after some random cliks into the textfield
nice to watch this video, helped me to learn more from this? sir I have a question, can we make a search form from where we can enter any information like customer name and when we click on search button specific record from customer form displays? how can we make such search, please guide
I get an error about the search form when transferring files from one computer to another, I can search when the file is on my computer, but I can't search on someone else's computer.
Very good explanation. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! Nevertheless, compared to the FileMaker database, Access is far too complicated for a normal user. I wonder why Microsoft can't manage to get a really user-friendly database up and running.
Excellent, Helpful and able to meet my needs. What video explains how to select the record from the search results and open the master table so you can edit the master table, or if the search results in no matching records, the ability to start entering a new record in the master table. I have already created a master form from an earlier video now I need to link the two processes.
Hello, I use this method on access 2007 and it works. But in access 2020 it doesn't work. At first I checked 4 fields in Query, but when I opened the List Box Wizard , it only appear 1 field. Any other method ?
Access Newbie here. I managed to do Search function in the video. However, I would like that the selected value from the ListBox is passed/copied to other TextBox. This should be simple but I have spent hours to find help.
You'd need an event in your ListBox (or a command button) to then set the value in whatever field you want. See: ruclips.net/video/NXgomWH4BqI/видео.html
This is a great tutorial, but I couldn't quite complete the form. I followed all the steps, but at the end in the search box I now have #Name? and I can't use the field to search. Where did I go wrong?
It worked perfectly for me until I restarted Access. Now it won't read in the textbox value and instead asks me to enter it as a parameter every time I open the form. I redid the query from scratch and it still won't work, even though the autocomplete recognizes that the textbox is there. What's going on? Update: Completely deleting both the form and the query and making new ones worked. It seems something got changed or corrupted somewhere and caused it to stop working. I'm still not sure what broke it in the first place.
What if I have a sentence in each record, and i need to search for the specific word within each sentence in my records? Does MS Access have full text search support?
Thank you so much for the video. Is it possible if the list box to be empty(no records displayed) when I open the form and display the records after the searching?
Hi Richard I have a field in table , Named, Amount. But In the report i want to display the same field data in across column. How can i get the sum under each column. Any help please
Great video. Question though: is there a way to make it requery on every keypress? So that I get live updates as I'm typing? I tried the "on keypress" event, but it doesn't seem to trigger unless I click outside the searchbox and back into it
Dear Sir, i Watch you regularly and learned very much. Sir i need your help that when i use generated database to another system its setting looks change, plz tell me how to fit it any system
okay so i tried to follow the video to the letter. even named everything that you did. does not update when i press tab or enter. I copied exactly what you did even changing of the color and still does not auto update.
You must have missed something. 100,000 people have viewed this video, so I know it's right. :) Without seeing your database I really can't tell you what you did wrong though.
I am trying to have a search button that when hit will display the selected "Search" information that contains that. Example: If I hit NFL in the search. I would like my form to display all teams that associated with the NFL. (That is not my real project) but I work for a company and don't want to put information out there. I right now have a Form that has my search command button and then a subform inside that and that is where I want the information to be displayed. I have ran code expressions, simple queries such as =Form XXXXX , Like "*" & xxxxxx ... Let me know if you can help me.

Sir, you have uploaded a great video. But sir if I want to create every day's records altogether of a customer then is it possible in ms access ?. If possible then please create a video about it. If not then possible in visual basic ? Please create a video about it.
No, sorry. I've taught this exact example in my classes for years. Not many people have problems with it. The number one culprit is usually a misspelled field name.
In the searchQ (Query) when I changed the criteria from a wildcard (Like) to be Exact, meaning I removed the (Like "*" & ) and at the end (& "*") the searchF doesn't show any data. The search doesn't work.

Dear Sir! I need help... In regards to this list you just made, I`m trying to do the same, but with a search button. So I have a text box where the user should entry a last name, and a list that shows all current users. The user should enter a last name, press search and only the last name the user puts should come up in the list below. Do you have a video that shows how to correctly set this up. I'm struggling to correctly set the search button up...

What am I missing? Private Sub SearchL_Click() Dim S As String

Great Course! Thank you!!! Also, I have 2 questions: 1) Is there a file size limit to attach a PDF to Access? 2) If a PDF has more than 10 years of data to import into Access, how much might it slow Access down? Please let me know. Thank you so much!!!
@@599CD Thanks! I stumbled on your videos by chance. I know 0, so I'm starting at the lesson 1. I look forward to learning a new skill. Your teaching method is spot on!
Great tutorial!!! I've never used access before and I created a database from Excel in one afternoon. This is super helpful! My only question was after I hit tab and have results come up, is there a way to clear the search box and have all the items in the list show back up?
@@599CD Sorry. By redim i mean I want to chage column width depending on the results I have. For example: Let's assume that my qry has only one column. If my result is "Raj" I dont need a large column, but if my result is "Rajesh kootrapalli" then i need to make it larger than normal. Is this posible to do?
Yeah... changing the width of the columns is definitely possible, but difficult. With a fixed-width font like Courier you could know how wide to make each column, but with most fonts, you'd have to guess. All you have to do is change the ColumnWidths property, but again, it's a guess based on the number of characters. I'll add this to my list for a possible future video... but the list is quite long. Lots of members have questions in first. Love the Big Bang Theory reference. :)
Thank you so much, this is very helpful. I have a situation where if a record has a null value for the column we are applying the LIKE condition in, then the row does not appear in SearchList at all. What can I do if there is someone without a LastName? Say, Cher or Madonna for example?
@@599CD Thanks Richard. Although, my scenario is: I have null values in my LastName (FirstName is present). After I input the LIKE criteria for LastName and open form, before entering any value, all records with null LastName is automatically filtered out.
Seems I have figured it out. The nature of the SQL view is super convoluted (don't even wanna look at Design view). I had to write up 4 scenarios of LIKEs ANDs and ORs statement. Ended up writing about 108 lines of code, give or take. But, all in all, I wouldn't have gotten even the beginning parts done without your tutorial.
I'm glad you solved it. That's the best way to learn... figuring it out yourself. I've had MANY nights of pulling my hair out trying to figure out why something doesn't (or DOES!) work. One of my favorite memes: 599cd.com/a?26065
@@fuego09esmeralda - For me it worked fine. But In the searchQ (Query) when I changed the criteria from a wildcard (Like) to get exact search data, meaning I removed the (Like "*" & ) and at the end (& "*") the searchF doesn't show any data at all. The search doesn't work. Would you know? Appreciate your time. Thanks.
i am getting an error message 424 when i try to conduct the search
Probably your code in the [after update] section is incorrect. Make sure you referenced your list displayer well and added the right code.
Start over. 150,000 other people had no problems. :) When in doubt: 599cd.com/Trouble
The is most likely an object reference error. Make sure that whatever you label your "List Box" is what is referenced in your VBA. For example: In the video he named the List Box "SearchList". So his VBA code appeared as follows:

If my result is "Raj" I dont need a large column, but if my result is "Rajesh kootrapalli" then i need to make it larger than normal. Is this posible to do?
Yeah... changing the width of the columns is definitely possible, but difficult. With a fixed-width font like Courier you could know how wide to make each column, but with most fonts, you'd have to guess. All you have to do is change the ColumnWidths property, but again, it's a guess based on the number of characters. I'll add this to my list for a possible future video... but the list is quite long. Lots of members have questions in first. Love the Big Bang Theory reference. :)
@@599CD all right, I'll try to do what you said. Thanks!
Ps: The Big Bang Theory is awesome 😎
cool tut!!!
My pleasure.
Not working for me
Try again from the top. Don't skip any steps.
Thank you so much, this is very helpful.
I have a situation where if a record has a null value for the column we are applying the LIKE condition in, then the row does not appear in SearchList at all.
What can I do if there is someone without a LastName? Say, Cher or Madonna for example?
If you want to check specifically for a NULL value, then you'd have to say: IsNull(LastName)
@@599CD Thanks Richard. Although, my scenario is:
I have null values in my LastName (FirstName is present).
After I input the LIKE criteria for LastName and open form, before entering any value, all records with null LastName is automatically filtered out.
Seems I have figured it out.
The nature of the SQL view is super convoluted (don't even wanna look at Design view). I had to write up 4 scenarios of LIKEs ANDs and ORs statement. Ended up writing about 108 lines of code, give or take.
But, all in all, I wouldn't have gotten even the beginning parts done without your tutorial.
I'm glad you solved it. That's the best way to learn... figuring it out yourself. I've had MANY nights of pulling my hair out trying to figure out why something doesn't (or DOES!) work. One of my favorite memes: 599cd.com/a?26065
Very helpful, thanks Richard
My pleasure.
Hi how are you?
I am well. Thanks.
Super description. Love you sir
My pleasure.
noob here, it works great thanks!
My pleasure.
Something went wrong for me. When I type the surname results dont change.
In the example described on this video, the list refreshes only until you press tab or enter... (8:05)
@@fuego09esmeralda - For me it worked fine. But In the searchQ (Query) when I changed the criteria from a wildcard (Like) to get exact search data, meaning I removed the (Like "*" & ) and at the end (& "*") the searchF doesn't show any data at all. The search doesn't work.
Would you know? Appreciate your time. Thanks.
We have a correct answer. :)
Very Interesting tip. Thank you.
