    Incorporate/Utilize Built In Search Function

    I have a form that among other things list the first and last names of customers. I need to add a command button that will allow the user to search on last name. Is there a way to program the command button to utilize Access' built in search feature (i.e. CTRL F) to do this?? If so, how could I just limit the search to 1 field (Last name)?

    Join 2 Fields...Results Not What I Expect

    When I join 2 fields together, I'd expect to get just the values without spaces. However, when I join the first and last name fields I get:

    James Jones

    instead of

    JamesJones

    Any idea????

    Disappearing Drop Down List

    Need help on this one. I have a DB that multiple users have access to from various servers. (The various users map a network drive to gain access to it). On one of the forms in the DB there is a drop down list populated by a query. The strange thing is some users can see the contents of the drop down list; other can not. It's like it's invisable as opposed to blank, because if you scroll down the list and click on the "invisable" list,...

  • Password Prompt if linking one database to another

    Hello,

    I have an Access DB that I want to link to another Access DB. If one of them has a password, will one be prompted to enter the password once the first DB tries to link to the 2nd DB?

    Deleted Records Still Show

    Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. I have a table in a DB that is linked to another DB I deleted several records in the linked table. They no longer show up in any of the tables, but when I view the form that is linked to the table, the deleted records still show.....what is going on???

    Thanks, but, no cigar....

    I made the changes but once I click OK, access converts the code to this:

    =DLookUp("order received","qryo rder received","[order ID] = " & Forms!mainform! order id)

    I think I have the code figured, but I only get #error for results. Here is my code:

    =DLookUp("[order received]","qryorder received","[order id] = " & Forms!mainform! order id)

    Order ID is text. Does it matter that on the form, orderID has an input mask? I believe the value is stored without it.

    Thanks for the insight and sorry about the posting error. I read the inital post and thought it might be an easy follow up question.

    Back to my issue. I understand your directions. I created a seperate query named qryOrder Received to obtain the information needed. I plan to then use the Dlookup to obtain the corresponding value. However, I'm still struggling with the code. First, the record source for the order form is not...

    DLookup

    Stewart/NeoPa,

    I'm having a little trouble getting the syntax correct on a Dlookup. I have a form with an ID field on it. I want to match that ID to another field in a table. Once it finds a match, I want to retrieve the value of a different field in the same table. Here is the code:
    Code:
    =DLookUp("[Order Received]",("Orders"),"forms![mainform]![orderID]="[EbayOrder], [orderID]"
    To clarify,...
