Access VBA
Here is the code I have so far:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
Dim strSampleNumber As String
Dim strSearch As String
'Check txtSearch for Null value or Nill Entry first.
If IsNull(Me![txtSearch]) Or (Me![txtSearch]) = "" Then
MsgBox "Please enter a value!", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Search Criterion!"
Me![txtSearch].SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
'-------------------
'Performs the search using value entered into txtSearch
'and evaluates this against values in strStudentID
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
DoCmd.GoToControl ("sampleno")
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtSearch
sampleno.SetFocus
strSampleNumber = sampleno.Text
txtSearch.SetFocus
strSearch = txtSearch.Text
'If matching record found sets focus in strStudentID and shows msgbox
'and clears search control
If strSampleNumber = strSearch Then
MsgBox "Match Found For: " & strSearch, , "Congratulations!"
txtSearch.SetFocus
txtSearch = ""
'If value not found sets focus back to txtSearch and shows msgbox
Else
MsgBox "Sample ID " & strSearch & " has not been disposed.", _
, "Invalid Sample ID!"
txtSearch.SetFocus
txtSearch = ""
End If
End Sub
