Database Access Search

[abdullahsikandar]

Hello everyone,

I am new on this forum and new to the access as well, Please help me out on database Search form.

I need to make a search form where i can search from the database access and generate the report in Excel.

for example in a form there are 4 fields, I can search by field by field and press submit button then if there is no record it will pop up that no record found if there is a record so it will generate an excel sheet with formatting.



Thanks

So then you want to Export that data into Excel correct? If so, then use the Export feature.

Well yes, But i need a path a button to save it and export it automatically. Anyhow that can be done by using export method too. You are right.

Example: TheFile = "c:\temp\MyReport-" & TheDate & ".xls"

Yeah ... Thats what i want but how do i search? i mean what will be the algorithm for searching in database? on user form.

I am not following you.You say you already have a search combo that works, Yes? If not, then create one using the wizard.

Sorry Sir,

I need to make the whole form for this searching criteria as i wrote an example. I need a VBA code behind that for searching.

You want me to design a form for you? Do you have a Database created already? Can you upload a demo copy?

[abdullahsikandar]

I don`t have that copy right now .. I am making it can you give me an example for the code.

For instance there are 2 columns in database

Name Age

ab 22
cc 34
dd 44
ssa 12


User form for searching:

Name:ab
Age: 22

Then the result would be created in Excel sheet with that result.
