I have a pair of combo boxes which are n a frm and work fine.
The code is:
Private Sub cboSubjectSelector_AfterUpdate()
Me!cboOneBookSelector.Requery
Me!cboOneBookSelector.SetFocus
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me!cboOneBookSelector.Requery
End Sub
I want the combo boxes to be repeated five more times so that the same options are given within the same form. Every time inset a copy of the same combo box get the folowing error message:
'Microsft Access can't find the macro 'requery''
I am ot sure what I need to do nrder t remove the error message. I did not create a macro called 'requery' tis part of the code above.
I have alos tried to recopy the code above and then retnamed the cbo in the form adn then modified then copied and modified the code to see if that helps - it doesn't. Any ideas - please help.
I just recently started programming in MS Access. I have some forms with lots of combo boxes. I do not want users to type anything in the boxes, but to only select stuff that is contained in the drop down menus.I found this useful code and I am using it in my combo boxes on the key down event to do what I want.
Private Sub cmb_a_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
Private Sub cmb_b_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
Private Sub cmb_c_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
The issue is because I have so many combo boxes, is there a better way to rewrite the code so I don't have to repeat the same code in 20 places?
My Combo Box works and displays new entries in text boxes in my form. The selection appears in every record. I would like the selection to be stored only in the displayed record and not for each and every record. Any ideas?
My combo box works on an existing query( Qry1). I would like the data from my query (Qry1) to be displayed in the record (in Form1) which I am viewing. When I go onto a new record (IN Form1) I would like to make a new selection from my query (Qry1) and then store these details in the new record in Form1.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change() Me.Requery Me.cboCourseName.Requery Me.Check178.Requery End Sub
I have qrys that show current info and also repeated info. A request has been brought to me to now count how many times the repeated data has been repeated.
The data is updated daily, so the repeated record would need to increase in the number of it's occurances by 1 each day.
Any guidance on how to accomplish this is GREATLY appreciated! :)
when i change a form so that instead of single form its multiple forms it seems to only want display 30 instead of the 62 that exist. is there a quick fix this?
if not is there a way to make it display the next 30?
as now it says "record 30 of 62" when it gets to the bottom of the form... ;/
Hello All, In my table, I have some records that are duplicated (aside from the primary key). How can I select only one record from each set of duplicated entries? (There may be more than 2 of each of the duplicated records, but I only need to pull one of them...doesn't matter which one.)
i.e...Like a 'Find Duplicates' query, but only returning the top 1 primary key from each duplicated set.
The 001: to the first '_' is the important bit this is defining a "Router" what I need to do is total up how many '001:*_' there are, not including duplicate numbers.
Firstly if I understood this (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=92001) post correctly I need to have all the VPIAddress the same. If this is correct is there a way to get access to delete the data after the first '_' ? (I would of posted in this tread but i didnt think that would be right, if im wrong mods move the post :) )
Secondly will the info in that post help me to reduce the data into this :
So that I can then see how many Physical "routers" there are
If any one can help me and tell me that my idea will work then tell me how to do it id be extremely happy!
Even if any one says that wont work and gives me the correct way to do it and does a virtual "Clip around the Head" and call me a Daft Bugga I would still be happy because I wouldn't have to trawl through the entire 16000+ entries deleting and modifying.
I'm trying to set up a query where it returns me only the items that are repeated.
ie...I have a table that has clients that are one time clients and other that are repeated. Each client has a client number. I would like to get only the clients whose client number appears more than once. Is that possible?
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 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 have an activity report which has multiple entries for the same date by club members. I have managed to build the database:
2 Tables 2 Queries 2 Forms 1 Report
Which list attendance's and activities by Member and Date and Prints each one starting on a fresh page..What I wish to do is count each Club Members total days attendance. I have tried using the Totals button but I don't know enough about expressions to get it to count multiple dates as 1.
Everywhere I have looked can tell me how to count between dates, around dates, workdays in a year etc. etc. etc. but none give me multiple dates the same counted as 1.
I am running repeated calculation queries of different data, but its is not working to well. I have one query listing the total number of hats made from wool. I then have a second query of that lists the total number of hats made from wool and are black. I have third query that calculates the percentage. I have many different hats of many different colors, and i am doing the same three queries over and over. However, the calculated field for percentages does not update. E.G. I have 100 wool hats, 10 wool,black hats, 10%. The next round: i have 100 wool hats, 5 wool green hats, its will still show me 10%, as its is still calculating based on the previous data. how can i go about this most efficiently and why is not updating?
my search form has a combo box with "make"names. i can add new makes via a other form. so the combo box needs te run via a query so that it can list new makes (so that i can also search them). but, since some makes repeat them selves in the table, sometimes up to 15 times (see atachment 1), the combo box will show 15 times the same make. i just need it to show the make 1 time, all of the makes just 1 time. only way i can do that is to type them my self (see atachment 2). but then new makes that are added later wont be shown in the list.
so: i want that the make is only shown once in the list, and that the list is updated with new makes that are added later. how do i do that?
note: a "make" E.G = Philips, Apple, LG, Microsoft, creative etc (just for the lesser skilled english readers like me )
Right now I have a flat database with too many unnormalized fields. I am trying to figure out how to break down the repeated "QuantityOrdered" 1 through 5. "QuantityReceived" 1 through 5.
"RequestedItems" 1 through 5 and "Price" per unit 1 through 5. I'm not sure if they go into the same tables, if they are each listed 5 times and if in different tables how many instances 1 or 5 to show each as seperate and how to create a relationship between them.
I have built a contacts manager based on an Outlook export (I know I can link the two programs, but I wanted to customize the contacts a bit further). I built the database in a way that phone numbers, addresses, etc. allow for multiple entries for each person under the same column using a foreign key. The only difference is a field called "Type" which designates the entry for Home, Work, etc. The issue I ran into is when I queried the data I get multiple entries for the same record. As you are all likely aware, Access repeats the data in a query for each different case. For example if Bob Jones has a personal and work phone number, Access will show the results in a query like this:
1. Bob Jones 555-555-5555 Personal 1. Bob Jones 555-222-2222 Work 2. Jerry Smith 555-111-1111 Personal
If I kept the data in Access it wouldn't necessarily be an issue. However, I want to be able to export the data in an excel file. How do I get Excel to return the data so it looks like this:
1. Bob Jones 555-555-5555 Personal 555-222-2222 Work 2. Jerry Smith 555-111-1111 Personal
I have created a query that is designed to return a count of how many records there are in various tables. There are 10 expressions in all, so when it is run I am expecting to see one row of data with each field populated with the number of records.
It does do this, but the data is repeated over line after line (see the attached picture)
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
I have a serious issue to solve and I would like to ask for your help, as I just don't seem to know how and where to start from.
I need to make a database that will have 2 tables, say tbl_item and tbl_offer. The items table will have different cardboard dimensions and other characteristics (width, height, color, photo, price etc) while the tbl_offer will have different combinations of clients' cardboard requests.
The workflow is:
A client comes and asks for:
- two pieces of cardboard of 120x100 cm - five pieces of cardboard of 135x90 cm - one piece of cardboard of 110x125 cm
I want to be able to enter the client's request in a form and the form will do 2 things:
1. Store the clients request as a record in the table tbl_offer (for current or future referrence) 2. Create a report (out of the above record) that will be printed out and given to the client (but I suppose that's easy...)
Now tbl_item has different types of cardboard (their code names) along with different dimensions and price for each, for example:
1. I don't know exactly how I can create a form (say frm_offer) that will give me the possibility to add many different cardboard types and save them as one offer to the tbl_offer. What I would like is to choose from a combobox (or any other similar function) the type (say 002) and by this selection a second combobox would be filled only with the available Width dimensions for this type (165, 140, 170). By choosing what I want from the width combobox, a third combobox would be available that would give me the available height dimensions for this width (if for example I chose Type 002 and Width 140, the last combobox would give me two choices, 105 and 130). After choosing the Height I want, I would fill in a text box of how many pieces the client wants and the form would also fill automatically the cost of all the pieces for that dimension (by taking the price/item from the tbl_item perhaps?). If 1 piece then it should say i.e. 18 for the 140x130 piece, if 10 pieces it should say 180. Finally, I want to add the photo of the cardboard automatically (pls note that same type of cardboards share the same photo) not at the form but at the report to be printed.
I have already looked in the Access FAQs section of the forum for the combobox techniques but I can't understand how I can apply them to three (or more) comboboxes plus the photo.
I can use Access only when little/no programming is required, and I am very much afraid that all the above will require a great deal of it, so I apologise in advance for my non-knowledge of programming :(
2. How do you think would be suitable to split all this data to tables? Is my thinking correct (2 tables, tbl_item and tbl_offer) or would you suggest something better? Will the tbl_offer get a lot of data that way? Mind you also that every once a year there is the need of updating the cardboards' prices (all will rise/fall at the same percentage) and, furthermore, we are talking for about approx. 100 different types of cardboards, each with about 15 different dimension combinations.
I am not sure if I had to post this message to the Tables section of the forum or here but I think here is better as the main problem is the form part.
Thank you all in advance and my apologies once again for the low level of my programming skills :(
