When I go to the Properties window and click on '...' to check the results of this query, I see exactly what I expect to. Likewise, clicking on the combo's drop-down arrow displays the data correctly.
However, when the combo box is displayed on it's Form, #Name? is always displayed and, while I can view the items in the list, I am unable to select any of them.
I've got a feeling this is going to be a simple correction, but I can't work out what's wrong and it's bl**dy infuriating.
I have a multi slect list box (simple) and I need to find and select an item using vba - e.g., the bound column is the ID field and I need to select a specific ID (which will be different each time) as opposed to selecting the 100th record for example. How do I do this?
I'm trying to select a specific row in a listbox in the OnKeyDown event on my form. Basically, while in a subform, I want the enter key to move the focus to the list box, specifically to row After the last selected.
Here's an example of the code I thought would work:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Dim ItemNumber As Integer
Have a subform: Name: frmProjectSub1 Default View: Continuous Forms
A combo box within the subform: Name: cboProjectName Control Source: Nothing Row Source Type: Table/Query Row Source: SELECT ProjectName FROM tblProjects WHERE tblProjects.Status LIKE "*" ORDER BY ProjectName; Column Count: 1 Bound Column: 1 Visible: Yes Enabled: Yes Locked: No Allow AutoCorrect: Yes Tab Stop: Yes OnClick Event: Private Sub cboProjectName_Click() With Me.frmProjectSub1.Form Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[ProjectName] = " & Me.cboProjectName If Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then MsgBox "Can't find task " & Me.cboProjectName Else Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark End If End With End Sub
Within the continous form, if I name the Control Source as ProjectName, and traverse through the records, the value in the combo box changes to the current selected row.
Problem: In the combo box, I do get the dropdown list of projects, when I click on a project - Nothing Happens! The listbox stays open on the item that I clicked on -- does not close-up and put the selected item in the combobox window. I'm stumped...
I could set the Combobox.Value to one of the values in the combo box and combo box displays that value. But when I try to use Combobox.Value subsequently it does not have any value. I noticed that the value property is populated only when the combox box item is manually selected(highlighted).
I would like to be able to create a recipe (saved in its own table) by pulling items from a multiselect list box (from the raw materials table) but which allows me to add the same ingredient more than once.
I work for a chemical manufacturing company and we need to track the cost of goods by recipe (final product), by linking the ingredients (where the cost of the raws are associated) to the final prodcut. Several of our products need to have chemicals added in the beginning, but then again at the end of the procedure unlike normal kitchen recipes.
(I sure hope I don't have to learn VBA . . . I'm totally new at Access!)
I have a combo box(drop down box), it uses a select statment to get data. I want to assign each choices (item) from the combo box to a label's caption.
for exmaple the comobo box has these choices (item) ______________ |drop down box| apples pears grapes melons
I want to have 4 labels each label will have caption equal to each item in the drop down box so we now have
apples as label 1's caption pears as labe' 2's caption grapes as label 3's caption melons as label 4's caption
how might I be able to do this in VBA? IS there a way to select an item from a combo box and the set the label's caption equal to that? Something like:
I want to select an item in a listbox that has a specified value when I open the form that contains this listbox. Most I've found describes selecting records based on their index value but I want to select an item according to the actual value that's displayed in the listbox. For example, the first number below is the index value, the 2nd is the number I'm interested in and the 3rd is another column in the listbox:
0 1 12345 1 2 33256 2 4 36280
I'm using the OpenArgs property to pass the value (a long integer primary key) to the opening form but I don't know the syntax or correct terminology for ensuring the specified row is selected in the listbox. At present, using the above example, if I want to select the row with the value 2, it's selecting the 3rd row rather than the 2nd.
At the moment I have a query that returns a result based on what's selected in a combobox.
SELECT ComponentT.ComponentType AS ComponentType FROM ComponentT WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_ComponentNameCmb] & "*"));
Instead of this I want to rewrite the query to return a result based on what the user has selected in a list box of items. How would this query look. Would I need to increment it in a loop checking all entries into the list box as it can vary in size and if so how?
I tried changing the last line to WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_OutputLsb].[ItemsSelected] & "*")); which returned a result just not the right one. Is there something wrong with the syntax?
I have a combo box that won't allow me to select an item. The box is on a subform. When viewing only the subform, it works. When viewing the subform from the main form, it won't work.
So I have this form with a combo box which successfully displays a range of items from which I would like to select from - but unfortunately I cannot. I cannot select anything from the combo box.
I have checked the form and table to ensure I have edit rights - which I do.
The form is based on a query - attached is a picture of the relationships within the query.
I assume I have created a non updateable query but this is only an assumption.
I am lost about the best course of action to take. Is there a way to identify the problem?
Do I just cut my loses and recreate the functionality somehow?
I have a contineous form with a combobox for each record and i have a button to select the first item in the combobox then to refresh the list in the combobox .I want to creat a one button to select the first item in the combobox then refresh the list then go to the next record and select the first item on the list
I'm currently working on fixing an older 97 database that I've updated to 2010. I have just populated the Drop down box with about three fields. Ideally what I want to do is after having selected the item number from the drop down box I then hit the button that creates a report with the information about that item number.
At the moment...If the box is blank it reports all the item numbers, however if i fill the box(select an item) it returns nothing i.e the report is blank.
I've looked at the query that builds the report, there are only three fields that populate the. location, part number and description. from a tbl called MainDetails
the only other thing: If([Forms]![frmReports]![FLoc] Is Null,[FUNCTIONAL LOCATION] Is Not Null,[FUNCTIONAL LOCATION] Like [Forms]![frmReports]![FLoc]) it has a criteria of <>False *FLoc is the drop down box *functional location is the location field. I believe all the above does is populate the report if Floc is empty.
What can I put to make the report generate what ever I pick in the drop down box 'FLoc' source the three fields from the 'MainDetails table'.
In the form1 , I have a listbox1 with 2 columns. The values get added in the listbox using vba. Now I want to Edit the listbox values in case user enters something wrong. So when the user selects a listbox item and then EDIT button then form2 gets opened. And the textbox1 of it stores column1 of listbox1 value and textbox2 stores column 2 of listbox1 value. So the user canb make changes in the textbox values and then press SAVE button . Now I want the code that will make those changes in listbox1 of form1 and unload form2 then.
I have a form that simply lists the items: DEPARTMENT_NBR and DEPARTMENT_NAME
In the table: DEPARTMENT_TBL
When I edit the field DEPARTMENT_NBR and it is in error (must be between 01 and 99) I want to put out a message in a MSGBOX and SetFocus back on the DEPARTMENT_NBR.
I coded the MSGBOX with vbokonly and then DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus, but after the message displays and enter is hit for the ok the cursor jumps to the DEPARTMENT_NAME on the current line. Is there a way to get the SetFocus to work properly on repeating items like this? I can never seem to get them to perform the same as they do on non-repeating items.
Thanks for your help.
HERE'S THE EXACT CODE: If IsNumeric(DEPARTMENT_NBR) = False Then If DEPARTMENT_NBR <> "00" Then MsgBox "DEPARTMENT NUMBER must between 01 and 99.", vbOKOnly DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus GoTo DEPARTMENT_NBR_EXIT (exits the paragraph skipping other checks) End If End If
Also, is there a way to look at a specific item in a list like that? IE. I want to reference the 3rd row's DEPARTMENT_NBR. Thanks.
I'm trying to get a combo box to populate the box next to it.
Basically pick a project number in the 1st box and have the project name show up in the second box.
I have it working, but the problem is that when it puts in the name of the project, it fills the whole column with that name, and not just the one box.
Here is what it's doing: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2659/dbhm4.jpg
Here is the code im using.
Private Sub ProjectNumber_AfterUpdate() On Error Resume Next
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String
ProjectNumber.SetFocus If ProjectNumber.Value > 0 Then strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ProjectList WHERE ID = " & ProjectNumber.Value
Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL) If Not rs.BOF Then Me.ProjectName = rs("ProjectName") End If rs.Close Set rs = Nothing db.Close Set db = Nothing End If
I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
Hi, is there any (reasonably simple) way to select or deselect multiple items from the List Box with individual clicks without using Ctrl key. Eg first click on an item would select it leaving all other items as they are, subsequent click on the already selected item would deselect it etc. I hope this is not too confusing and I would appreciate some help. Thanks!
i have a multiselect listbox in my form. The multiselectlistbox contains the names of different persons from tblUsers. it's allready possible to write the id's of the names to another table (tblPresent).
But what I can't manage to do is re-select the values in another multiselect listbox. This multiselectlistbox is located on my editform. I can display the values using a valuelistbox, but i need to see the non-selected items too..
When I run the below code I am getting the error "End Select without Select Case" I figured it might be because I have the "End Select" before the "End With" however when I move the "End Select" after the "End With" I get the error "Loop Without Do".
Code: Private Sub cmd_Update_Conditional_Codes_Click() Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset
I have a field that contains some kinds of the student status, such as "Current", "Alumni" and "Expire". The table has already got a lot of records. How can I make a new item available to the field, for example, "Other", without entering a new status?
Like, "Student A" is "Current" but he is now "Other" status. When the user see his record, he/she needs to change the student status from "Current" to "Other". I don't want the user to enter "Other" manually. I want it to be available from a comb box at the first place. How can I add a new item into a field without entering a new student record?
OK heres the deal: I have an asset inventory database that i've made where item numbers 1000-1999 is one category 2000-2999 is one category, 3000-3999 is one category etc.
I've made a drop down menu with the choices, 1000, 2000, 3000, etc.
What I want to be able to do is, I want the computer to generate the item number from that drop down menu's selected choice. For example if the category 1000 is chosen i want the computer to be able to generate the next possible item number (without duplicating any item numbers).
My query is executing on everything in the listbox. I only want it to be executed on the value that i select. What codes can i use? I really need some help on this one.
