Select INTO ListBox

[daddydfsu via AccessMonster.com]

I am trying to create a ListBox based on a search from a TextBox. I have a
TextBox where I will enter in a MemberAlias. I want to click on a Search
Button and that will do a select from a PersonData Table that I have filled
out and look at each MemberAlias column for each Person on the Table. It
will then retrieve any persons with that MemberAlias and populate it into a
ListBox, where they can then select the record from that list box and it will
open a "Chart" for that person. I have a ListBox now that runs off of a
SQL Statement query that has hard coded the alias that it should look for.
This pulls back the row and all of the fields and when I click on that row, I
can open the record. How can I write the SQL behind a "Search" button that
will use the text from the TextBox and query based on that text. Thanks in
advance for the help.

Create the listbox. In the row source (under Data tab) create the query
to list the fields in the listbox. Let's say your form name is called
Form1. The textbox is called MemberAlias. The Listbox is called
Listbox1. Under the MemberAlias field in the SQL enter
Forms!Form1!Mem berAlias

This will now filter the listbox to the alias you entered.

When you enter an alias, in the AfterUpdate event enter
Me.ListBox1.Req uery

Okay, this looks similar to what I have. Couple questions:

When you state, "under the MemberAlias field" how do you mean. Is it this:

Select *
from Person
where (MemberAlias = '[Forms]![Form1]![MemberAlias]')

Next Question:

Which Event to I place the AfterUpdate into? The textbox, the search button.
thanks so much.

Also, do I put this in the Criteria Column in the SQL Query Builder.
[Forms]![Form1]![MemberAlias]

That's basically what you have.

I'm not sure why you have a Search button. If I entered something in
the text box I'd want to update the list. If using a button, put it in
the OnClick event.


thanks so much.

It looks like I have all of this correct according to what you have posted,
it is just not pulling back the data. I know the query works because I can
hard code the value in and it populates that listbox. I will keep plugging
away at it. Thanks for taking a look at this.

Well, you obviously have to replace "Form1" and "MemberAlia s" with
the name of the form your listbox is on and the name of the unbound
control that you are typing the alias into for searching.

That control is the one where the Afterupdate event should be.

Yes, I did do that and replace it with my actual names. and I did have the
Afterupdate in the control, but it was still not working.
