Search For Record

hello, i am a newbie in programming.

i am creating a simple database program right now with a single table using ms access.

i already finished some of its functions like add, save, delete, exit etc. my problem right now is i do not know how to search a particular record in my database and display its result to a table form in a datagrid. here is what i have so far...

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset

cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\contact.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"

Set rs = cn.Execute("SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE contact Id = '" & txtContId.Text & "'")

DataGrid1.DataSource = rs
DataGrid1.Refresh

End Sub

---

What I would like to do is to a search a particular contact Id that is to be inputted in the txtContId.text and then show its other details in a table form using datagrid1.

I hope somebody could help me with this....thank you in advance!

God bless!

Thanks.

Ok, The problem was I was not populating the Id Text box before calling the SQL statement. The Program is running fine now with the statement

Code:

---

NavigateRecords()
sqll = "SELECT * FROM branches WHERE Company_ID=  " & IDText.Text

I will look into tagheuer34's question as soon as possible. I am planning to incorporate a search for my project as well.

I will really wait for your suggestions regarding my problem in my code.

Thank you in advance for any possible help that will be given.

What problem would that be?

So far you haven't told us what it is, so we can't really help you correct it.


One obvious problem is that you have a field called "contact Id", which is a really bad idea - names with spaces in cause a lot of problems, so you should change it if possible (perhaps to "ContactId").

This is a duplicate thread: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=514874

ok,

my problem with the code I've given is that it is not giving any output. It results in an error "Data Member Not Found".

That's why my question is what can anybody suggest to make my code produce result. And the result should be to output the other information of a partricular contact (name, address etc) by inputting it's contact Id in the contId textbox.

thanx!

Hi again Tagheuer34,

Try to use Set keyword..Try this one,

Set Datagrid1.datasource = rs

Hope this helps:wave:

hello krizaaa,

thank you very much for your help. you're very kind.

anyway, my problem was already solved. I used MSHFlexGrid instead of DataGrid to output my table to my form.

thanks again....God bless!!!

You're welcome..

Anyways, I have tried your code and I also got "Data Member Not Found" error. Then I used Set datagrid1.datasource = rs. Learned that data source should be set. Then it works fine with the datagrid.

You can try this in the future or for experimenting. Just sharing what I've learned..

Thanks..
