Search Using SQL

How can I search and display the record in another form? Complete code..please

The user is required to key in the search value in textbox(text1) then press the cmdbutton(cmd1).The result will be displayed in form1.

I wanna do searching using ADODB.
Fieldname = Reference Number
Table = Tender

Two questions then you can have your answer...

1, Are you only returning EXACT matches to the information entered by the user or partial matches too?

Exact: bob only matches bob

Partial: red matches red, fred, redhead or anything with red in it.

2, The input is on form2 and the results are on form1? What type of output are you looking for just a list or what?

Try this:

You should have "2 Forms" and a "Module" in your project, form1 and Form2
In Form1 place a textbox, command button and a ADODC1 control
In Form2 place a datagrid control(I have placed this , you can anyway place Mshflexgrid if you dont want to do any editing)

->In Form1 write the following code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
showDetails CInt(Text1)
Form2.Show
End Sub

->In Form2 (No Code)

->In the Module add a procedure like this:

Public Sub showDetails(id As Integer)

strQuery = "select * from onlinenews where id=" & id
Form1.Adodc1.RecordSource = strQuery
Set Form2.DataGrid1.DataSource = Form1.Adodc1

End Sub

I hope this helps!

change the below code in the procedure..

>>strQuery = "select * from onlinenews where id=" & id

To..

strQuery = "select * from Tender where ReferenceNumber=" & id

Surely you must have done that, right?

priya...i do not have ADODC control.where can i download it?

For exact matches or simlar matches try putting an 2 option button next to the command button

Option1.Caption="Exact Match"
option2.Caption="Similar Matches"

Therefore the changes will be
->In Form1

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim MatchCreteria As String
If Option1.Value = True Then
MatchCreteria = "E"
Else
MatchCreteria = "L"
End If

Call showDetails((Text1.Text), MatchCreteria)
Form2.Show

End Sub

->The procedure in Module:

Public Sub showDetails(id As Variant, mC As String)

If mC = "E" Then
strQueryMC = " where ReferenceNumber=" & id
Else
strQueryMC = " where ReferenceNumber like '" & id & "'"
End If
StrQuery = "select * from Tender " & strQueryMC

Form1.Adodc1.RecordSource = StrQuery
Set Form2.DataGrid1.DataSource = Form1.Adodc1

End Sub

aidanie,

Pls don't click the Refresh button of the Browser, instead, click the "ReLoad Question" at the top Right hand corner.

Did'nt you get the earlier posts, mentioning that downloading is not required, and it comes with VB6.

How far have you succeeded in implementing the above suggestions, Do let me know abt it and DON'T hit the refresh button, please!!
