Search/Filter

[spideynok]

Goodmorning!

i have a code

Private Sub btnFilter_Click()
    Dim strFilter As String
 
    With Me
        If .txtFindCardNumber > "" Then
            strFilter = Replace(.txtFindCardNumber, ", ", ",")
            strFilter = "[Card_Number] In('" & Replace(strFilter, ",", "','") & "')"
        End If
 
        .Filter = strFilter
        .FilterOn = (strFilter > "")
    End With
End Sub

this is the code on the button connected with a text box which i use when im searching a record.

the card number is compose of 16 digits. and i must enter 16 digits just to search for that record.

I want to ask if how would i do. so i can search on it even i input 6 numbers only etc..

Thank you in advanced. (~_^)olll

You can use either a list or wild-cards in filtering, but not a list of wild-card comparisons.

For more see Find Wildcard Characters in an Access Database.

can i ask sir NeoPa what code i need to put on it?

You can ask, but until you explain what you're trying to do more clearly I won't be able to help. I can see you're doing some sort of filtering, but the details make little sense to me.

Yes filtering.. and also like i use it as search. i had a unbounded text box.. and a find record button where i put that code.. and its like when.. example.. im looking for a card number 12345678 for me to show that data.. i need to put exact data like 12345678.. and i want to do is when i put 1234567.. all data that has 1234567 will show.. like 12345671, 12345678, 12345679.. like that..

Again thank you sir :)

You'd use the wild-card character that matches your database. This is all explained fully and clearly in the linked article.
