Hi everyone
I am writting an application in VB.NET to print orders. The orders are shown on screen in a listview and the user can select individual orders/range of orders to print.
This Access query looks like:
- PARAMETERS OrderIds Text ( 255 );
-
SELECT orders.*, orderdetails.*
-
FROM orders, orderdetails
-
WHERE orders.orderid=orderdetails.orderid And orders.orderid IN (OrderIds);
How do I from vb.net pass the OrderIds parameter into this query with multiple orderids?
e.g. passing "123-456" works
passing " '123-456', '123-789' " doesn't.
Thanks
Darren
Try the following sql wildcard search syntax from the tips page of www.aadconsulting.com:
Access SQL Tip
Search for two or more single characters in a field. You can use the [ ] wildcard with the Like operator in your queries to search for two or more single characters in a field.
For example, suppose you want to find all customers with the following ZIP codes: 08052, 08053, or 08055. To use the [ ] wildcard, enter the following in your query's Criteria row under the ZIP Code field:
Like "0805[235]"
This expression searches for all field entries whose last character matches one of the characters specified between the brackets. Conversely, to search for all customers that don't live within these three ZIP code areas, place an exclamation point before the list, as shown below:
Like "0805[!235]"
The exclamation point inside the brackets stands for Not in the list. The query results will include all entries whose characters do not match any character in the list within the brackets.
You can combine the [ ] wildcard with any other wildcard character. For example, you can combine the * wildcard character with [ ] to search for any ZIP codes that begin with 0805, 0807, or 0808:
Like "080[578]*"
