Search Multiple Fields in Access with One Input Box

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to effectively search multiple fields across multiple tables using a single search box. You'll learn how to set up a form with a search box that can look through fields like first name, email, and address simultaneously, without requiring any VBA code. I'll guide you on using query criteria along with helpful techniques such as the Like keyword and wildcard characters to perform comprehensive searches. Additionally, I'll demonstrate how to use a command button to run your query, ensuring an efficient and user-friendly experience for searching data in Microsoft Access.

Harrison from Melbourne, Australia (a Platinum Member) asks: How can I set up a search in Microsoft Access so that I can type into one box and it will look through multiple fields like first name, email, or address all at the same time?

In the extended cut, we will learn how to perform a search using VBA. I will show you how to open a customer form directly to the found customer if a match is identified, or open an order automatically if a product is located on it. This makes the search process more efficient by immediately guiding the user to the desired record without requiring them to sift through a list of results manually. Silver members and up get access to all of my extended cut videos, offering further advanced techniques and training.

Silver Members and up get access to view Extended Cut videos, when available. Gold Members can download the files from class plus get access to the Code Vault. If you're not a member, Join Today!
