Use results of a query to open corresponding records on the main form?

7 New Member
Hi,

I have put together a reference library of journal articles and other citations. There are various queries that prompt the user to enter a search term (such as a keyword) and return all article citations that contain the keyword that the user entered.

We want to add a feature where the user could click on any part of the citation info returned from the query, and be taken to that same citation's record in the main form (frmCite).

I played around with this by having the results of the query displayed in a form, and creating a command button with an OnClick event. However, I haven't been able to come up with any VBA code that tells Access to open frmCite, go the record with the same CiteID (PK of tblCite) as the CiteID of the record in the query, and to do this for each record that is returned as a hit from the query.

FYI, here is the SQL statement that the query is based on:
SELECT tblCite.CiteID, tblCite.Title, tblCite.Journal , tblCite.VolumeN um, tblCite.IssueNu m, tblCite.Copyrig htYear, tblCite.BookTit le, tblCite.Publish erName, tblCite.Abstrac t
FROM tblCite
WHERE (((tblCite.Abst ract) Like "*" & [Enter search term] & "*"));

Does anyone have any suggestions? I know very little about VBA so the more actual code someone could help me with, the better!

Thanks in advance.

Before I get started with the question, does anyone have a (single) good book recommendation for database design?

Hello Everyone, Access 2000, I have a main unbound form with a bound datasheet subform . The subform is bound to a query that returns records based on criteria in the main form. The user then double clicks a row on the datasheet subform to open yet another form bound to a table . These two forms are linked by the field. So far so good.

Am something of a newbie at this, so please bear with any stupid questions. I have created a database to track shipments that we import. The information is stored in a table and I have created a form which displays the information from the table. The end users have access to the form only - this is deliberate. I have created some queries, including parameter queries, to aid them which are accessible via buttons on the main form. ...

This one is difficult to explain, so I will cut it down to the basics. I have a major table 'tblA' which has an autonum field 'ID-A' as primary key (of no significance to users). 'tblA' contains many fields including picture and memo fields. The main user-selectable field is 'NameA'. There is also a crossreference table (let's call it 'tblB') which provides a secondary method of accessing records in 'tblA'. The main fields in 'tblB'...

Hello, Basically, I'm running a query on a form's activation, and I'd like to have the results of the query be placed into other fields on the same form automatically.

Hi Folks, I have created a search query in which it successfully returns correct results. When there are no records returned, instead of giving out a blank form i created a pop-up msg which is attached to the On Open event. However, right after the msg box pops saying"no records", this is followed by another msg box with "TheOpen Form action was cancelled". Is there a way i can eliminate the second msg box from appearing?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
