Form and query - Microsoft Access / VBA

Nicolae Fieraru

Hi All

Can anybody tell me how can I build a query which takes a parameter passed
from a form?
The query is:

Select * from tblCustomers
Where CustomerName = Forms!frmCustomers!txtCustomerName

When txtCustomerName is left blank, I want the query to show all the
Customers from the table.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Nicolae

Nicolae, Design a new query using your customer table. Add the field you
want. In the criteria row under CustomerName type in
= Forms!frmCustomers!txtCustomerName Or Is Null
Use this query as the record source of your form.

I found out.
The query has to be like this:

Select * from tblCustomers
Where CustomerName LIKE Forms!frmCustomers!txtCustomerName & "*"

Very nice. This technique seems to be a cousin to using varX & "" to
cast Null values into empty strings. I have some code to rewrite. Can
you identify the artist that came up with this masterpiece?

Never mind. Trevor Best used this technique in a post I found from
1995 so it's been around for a very long time.

James, don't rewrite too soon.

Suppose your Forms!frmCustomers!txtCustomerName ="Fortune"
Suppose there is also a name "FortuneTeller" in the database ;-)

Both records will show up with the select string
I think Reggies answer is what is needed

Good point. I checked out my search form and verified that they could
put "Fortune*" in the text field if they wanted more to show up and
just "Fortune" if they didn't using the old code.

Thanks,
