Running queries via forms

Hello everybody

I have a question on running queries via a form. My situation is – a
have a query (qrysearch) and this query has a number of fields e.g.
(company, employee etc). My form is linked into the query and has the
same fields as the query. I would like to use my form as a way of
searching for records by typing in text in the appropriate text boxes
on the form.

Currently, I can link the form fields into the query, however, the
query doesn't pull back any data unless the user enters a criteria in
each of the forms text boxes. I would like to know if there is a way
of running the query without having to enter data into each text box
on the form e.g. just entering data in the ‘company' field and leaving
the ‘employee' field blank or visa versa.

Many Thanks for your assistance
Andy

I have inherited a complex database that has many dozens of queries that derive data from a people table. I now need to be able to run these queries (from within a significant number of forms) not on the full dataset, but on a subset of the data in the people table. I want to avoid having to put criteria in all of the individual queries or forms, or having to change the data source for all the queries. Is there anyway I can restrict...

Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone has (or knows of) a tool that will allow me to search through VB code, tables, queries, reports, forms, and other objects, for references to all other types of objects. That's not really that clear, so here's an example: If I have a table named "table_i_would_like_to_delete_but_don't_know_if_any_object_is_using_it",

I'm a fairly new user of access & I've never had any training, so I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing here, or if it matter at all.

I'm a little nervous about slamming my database with a dozen Update queries in a loop that all modify RecordSources of open forms. Will the use of DoEvents and/or a Sleep function ameliorate any risk involved in doing this? Should I include a Requery in the loop after executing each query? For example: For each varQry in Array("qryDeleteOldTransactions", _ "qryDeleteClient Acct", etc., etc.) db.Execute varQry

Hi everybody! Recently I was struggling with client/server issues in MS Access/PostgreSQL combination. Although Access is intuitive and easy to use desktop database solution, many problems appear when someone is trying to use it as front-end for real server database systems such as PostgreSQL or MySQL. One of these problems is regarding pass-through queries and parameters. I wanted to have all the code on client, while executing it on...

I understand it's easy to list all saved queries of a given Access database via Msysobjects system table. However, I have not seen any posting over this NG or other similar ones that also include SQL statement(content) of these queries, though I've noticed some VB code for that. Is that because it's simply impossible to get a query content (not query resultset) from a SQL stmt? Thanks in advance.

HI--a simple question about access security--am having brain lock--if I make queries read only to a chosen user group (as defined by access security) will they stil be able to open forms based on sql statements in the Record source property of the form? I have most of my forms based on SQL statements in the record source property of the form (drawing from more than one table)--as I understand these they are not stored queries? So I...

Try this script to see what queries are taking over a second. To get some real output, you need a long-running query. Here's one (estimated to take over an hour): PRINT GETDATE() select count_big(*) from sys.objects s1, sys.objects s2, sys.objects s3, sys.objects s4, sys.objects s5 PRINT GETDATE()

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
