01:15 simplify the look of the code
01:25 make patterns where you can
03:10 build an SQL Statement (a string)
03:20 An SQL Statement is a string version of a Query

Search Criteria 3 Nifty Access

00:22 How to insert a template file
00:40 Bring your most recent code to the top of the Module
00:53 Don’t add them at the bottom
00:57 The code window gets stuck forcing you to Type right at the bottom
01:20 keeping the code at the top allows you to quickly identify where you got to with your work

04:30 Use an ampersand “&” for concatenation of strings

05:28 Press F8 to allow the Code to pick one more step
06:04 Line where the error occurs highlighted in yellow
06:07 The error causes the code to skip to the Error_Handler:
06:15 The error code is checked against the Error_Handler: Select Case for a match
06:19 There is no predefined error handler to catch the error so it goes to Case Else
06:23 Message box displays the error description and the error number

01:15 We’ve got an “AND” on the end that needs removing
01:57 Get the length of a string
02:22 Get the leftmost characters of a string
02:40 Now we have removed the “AND”
02:54 Grab the context contents of the message box with “Ctrl Copy”
03:00 Place the message box contents in a Query
03:15 Create a real Query
03:20 Create a Query in the Query Designer Grid
03:29 MS Access adds “Like” automatically
03:38 How to get the text version of a Query
04:03 Look at the SQL view again, (the text version of the Query)
04:40 Compare the VBA generated SQL Statement
04:55 Against the SQL Statement produced with the Query Builder Grid
05:04 Identify the errors and correct them in the VBA Code

Search Criteria 9 Nifty Access

00:24 How to create a subform –  Select the Table you want to base the Form on
00:26 How to create a form based on a table
00:26 Select the Create Tab
00:27 Click on the button marked “Form” in the Forms section
00:29 Open the newly created Form in design view
00:30 How to change the form to datasheet view
00:32 Open the Forms property sheet
00:34 Select the “Format” tab and change the Forms “Default View” to Datasheet
00:45 Save the Form with a name identifying it as a Subform “sFrmMain”
00:50 Open the original Form “Form1” in “design view”
00:55 How to Drag a subform on to a Main Form
01:00 Drag the Subform “sFrmMain” onto the Form “Form1”
01:11 The subform displays all the Records
01:17 Now we need to  modify the newly added subforms “RecordSource” with VBA code
01:19 Select the subform/subreport Control which houses the subform
01:23 This is a Subform/Subreport Control (Subform Window)
01:30 the source object of the subform subreport control is the Subform “sFrmMain”
01:48 This is it’s RecordSource
01:50 Subform “sFrmMain” has a RecordSource
01:54 Open Subform “sFrmMain” in design view
01:56 Open the Subforms property sheet
01:57 The Subform “sFrmMain” RecordSource is set to “tblMain”
02:05 We need to modify the subform RecordSource with VBA code
02:15 The subform is housed in the subform/subreport Control I call it a “subFrmWinFORMNAME”
02:18 This is the Sub Form Window (Subform/Subreport Control)
02:21 The default name for the subform/subreport Control is the name of the Form it houses
02:22 Access gives the Subform/Subreport Control a Confusing Name
02:25 The default name in this case is:- Subform “sFrmMain”
02:37 I like to think of it as a window, and name it thus:- “subFrmWinFORMNAME”
02:38 Immediately change its name to something sensible!
02:43 I named it:- “subFrmWinFrmMain” I should have named it “subFrmWinSfrmMain”
03:11 VBA code to modify the subform RecordSource
03:15 Set the subform RecordSource  with VBA code
03:25 Me.subFrmWinFrmMain.Form.RecordSource
03:50 Demo of the RecordSource of the sub-form being set with VBA code
04:00 Demo testing different search criteria
04:10 Test to see what happens when there are no matching records
04:26 Possible improvement! Add a reset button
