Create User Search Form

JezLisle · November 6th, 2008, 07:20 AM

I have a ComboBox which has 2 columns (actual Field Names & Names I want to show as drop down), the actual field names are column1 and show as 0cm width so they arent seen by the user. I then have a TextBox so that the user can input their own search criteria. I am trying to get my search data to auto adjust the ListSearch when the user is inputting their search.

This is my code that I have, I have 2 issues.
1 when I select my search on in the ComboBox and then click on the TextBox it clears the ComboBox Values.
2 When the TextBox has data entered it doesnt search the ListBox

How can I get these to work?

Code:

Private Sub txtInputSearch_Change()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sQRY As String
'**************************************
'    On Error GoTo Err
    Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    cnn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=CISSQL1;Initial Catalog=PODIATRY LIVE;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
    If Not IsNull(cboSearchOn) Then
        If Not IsNull(Me.txtInputSearch.Text) Then
            sQRY = _
                "SELECT " & vbCrLf & _
                "dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Patnt_RefNo_NHS_Identifier, " & vbCrLf & _
                "dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Forename, " & vbCrLf & _
                "dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Surname " & vbCrLf & _
                "FROM dbo.V_PAT_NHS " & vbCrLf & _
                "WHERE dbo.V_PAT_NHS." + Me.cboSearchOn + " LIKE '%" & Me.txtInputSearch.Text & "%' " & vbCrLf & _
                "ORDER BY dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Patnt_RefNo_NHS_Identifier "
            Me.cboSearchOn.RowSource = sQRY
            Me.lstSearch.RowSource = sQRY
        End If
        Else
            Me.cboSearchOn.SetFocus
            Me.cboSearchOn.Dropdown
    End If
'Err:
'    basError.LogError VBA.Err, VBA.Error$, "Form_frmSearch - txtInputSearch_Change()"
End Sub

I don't have time to review all the code, but the first thing you should do is change this code:

"SELECT " & vbCrLf & _
                "dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Patnt_RefNo_NHS_Identifier, " & vbCrLf & _
                "dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Forename, " & vbCrLf & _
                "dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Surname " & vbCrLf & _
                "FROM dbo.V_PAT_NHS " & vbCrLf & _
                "WHERE dbo.V_PAT_NHS." + Me.cboSearchOn + " LIKE '%" & Me.txtInputSearch.Text & "%' " & vbCrLf & _
                "ORDER BY dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Patnt_RefNo_NHS_Identifier "

to this:

"SELECT " & _
"dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Patnt_RefNo_NHS_Identifier, " & _
"dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Forename, " & _
"dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Surname " & _
"FROM dbo.V_PAT_NHS " & _
"WHERE dbo.V_PAT_NHS." + Me.cboSearchOn + " LIKE '%" & Me.txtInputSearch.Text & "%' " & _
"ORDER BY dbo.V_PAT_NHS.Patnt_RefNo_NHS_Identifier "

Unless you are formatting the string for a text output, you should not have the carriage return line feed inserted. This may be ending your string prematurely, which is why there are no results. ANSI SQL will not work with those vb cursor controls.

Did any of that help?
