Excel Search In Data Validation List (Searchable Drop Down List)

Access Database Example          

        We have two files in a folder named Personel.xls (Excel workbook) and Personel.mdb (Access database file).
The Access file contains PERSONEL table with personnel information.

       
         There is a userform in the Excel workbook with many VBA controls on it. Through userform, we will do operations onto the Access database ,such as adding data , deleting data, changing data  and querying the database.

With this userform ;

☑️ New data can be added to Access Database

☑️ Data can be changed

☑️ Data can be deleted

☑️ Data can be searched in Access Database

☑️ Data can be transferred from the Access Database to Excel.

We used the Adodb Connection Object for connection to Access database. Codes to connect :

Sub baglanti()
Set baglan = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
#If VBA7 And Win64 Then
baglan.Open "provider=microsoft.ace.oledb.12.0;data source=" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\PERSONEL.mdb"
#Else
baglan.Open "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\PERSONEL.mdb"
#End If
End Sub

         We will do all the operations related (data adding,deleting,changing etc.) to the database with the Adodb Connection Object that we created. 

Set baglan = CreateObject("adodb.connection")

For example , let's add a new record to Access database .

Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Dim i As Byte
On Error GoTo hata
For i = 0 To 51
If Mid(UserForm1.Controls(i).Name, 1, 3) = "txt" Then
If UserForm1.Controls(i).Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Required field is missing.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If
End If
If Mid(UserForm1.Controls(i).Name, 1, 3) = "cmb" Then
If UserForm1.Controls(i).Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Required field is missing.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If
End If
