Mastering Microsoft Access: How to Search for Existing Records and Add New Ones with Ease
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ย. 2024
- In this Microsoft Access tutorial I will teach you how to search to see if a value already exists in the table and if so open that record. If not, prompt to add it as a new record.
Sophie from Laramie, Wyoming (a Platinum Member) asks: Is there a way I can look up a customer by their phone number, and if it doesn't exist, ask the user to add them as a new record?

I love your videos and it taught me a lot from a beginner.
Here is my question, while in an opened form I’d like to check if a record existed when typing in the data field and if yes go to the record. Previously I built another database file, I was able to do the check and open a different form (like customer details) when data existed, but not able to figure out how to do the very same thing on the same form. 🙏 Thanks
You’re a legend. Thanks very much for solving my problem.
Happy to help
I love your explanations, for me you are the best... you are a great teacher, thank you.
Welcome
Brilliant as usual.
Thank you for your top video explanation. They helped me a lot in developing my db.
Same here!!
welcome
Very helpful Richard thanks
Welcome
Might want to add that if you are looking up character vs numbers then the Dim function needs to be - Dim ID as String - . Using the Long option will give a Type mismatch error when entering any thing else but numbers. Also change - If ID ="0" - and the end of the DLookup statement needs to be "0" as well.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Although my scenario is slightly different, this code is definitely useful.
You're very welcome
great channel!
I have a question.
I have a form set up with the search box and a search command button. when the user types in the search box and clicks on the search button, it should bring back the record in the list box with a message saying X number of records found else no record.
Please help
Sounds like a job for DCount: 599cd.com/DCount
Sir, If my Table datatype is Number means what i should mention Dim As ? because Dim As long is not working in the afterupdate, Dim As Long is working for short text datatype

🤣 I prefer human instructors too .. 😊
thanks
thumbs up to the BEST teacher as all time. Thanks Richard. Is there anyway to search a specific for the Form that displays no record when first opened? My DB is > 100,000 records. So when form first opened it is set to blank DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec. (display no records when first opened)
