Access Related List Boxes
Apr 29, 2005
I have a music database created in Access.
I have lookup fields for CD Group and CD Name
Do I need a autolookup Query or Syncronized combo box to perform the following function.
Filter by Form
CD Group
Select from List box
CD Name only Display CD's related to that Group
Mormon Tabernacle Chior Cd Group
Only display CD's related to the Mormon Tabernacle Chior
NOT ALL RECORDS IN THE DATABASE.
I've bent my self backwards on this and get no were I know it might help me with some visual basic coading.
The only resources I have is some books on Access
I Live in a Rural Area and there are no computer coarses near me that fit my time.
This following procedure I think would be done for example with any Products Database let's Say like Bakery Items
NAme of Company
Nabisco
NAme of ITems
Crackers
Cookies
Only display products by each item Name
NOT ALL RECORDS IN THE DATABASE WHICH ARE BAKERY ITEMS IN THE LIST
wHEN I FILTER BY FORM
PLease email me at
mikevds@optonline.net
So somebody can get back to me on this
I can even send you some screen shots if you don't get what I am getting at.

I have Table Products and Table Types. I've created another one ProductTypeRef where i save the references. For example:
Products
Id Description
1 Shoes
2 Clothes
3 Hats
Types
Id Description
1 Athletic
2 T-Shirts
3 Trousers
ProductTypeRef
IdProducts IdTypes
1 1
2 2
2 3
I have two combo boxes, Products and Types. How can i relate these two combo boxes?I mean if the user choose Shoes from product combo box, he'll get (as a choice) only the Athletic (or all the available values for the Shoes product) from the types combo boxes.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

I have a listbox set to Multiselect property of Simple. The listbox is populated by using a table. There are 4 columns in the listbox
Code:
1 3/23/2014 4/5/2014 2014
2 4/6/2014 4/19/2014 2014
3 4/20/2014 5/3/2014 2014
The columns are PayPeriod, StartDate, EndDate, FiscalYear
What I want to be able to do is highlight a chunk of dates and have the first selected StartDate and the last selected EndDate populate two hidden text boxes so I can use them for my queries/reports.
I've tried a couple different ways. Each time what happens is it only uses the last item I have selected in it's calculations.
Code:
Dim ItemIndex As Variant
For Each ItemIndex In Me.lstPayPeriods.ItemsSelected
If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex) And Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex - 1) = False Then
Date1.SetFocus
Date1.Text = Me.lstPayPeriods.Column(2, Me.lstPayPeriods.ListIndex)
End If
Next
In this example I tried to have it go through each Item of the listbox. I wanted to check to see if the current row was selected and the row before it wasn't. That way I could determine it was the first item selected in the group of selected items. It would always only use the last item I had selected.
Code:
Dim CurrentRow As Integer
Dim FirstDate As Date
For CurrentRow = 0 To Me.lstPayPeriods.ListCount - 1
If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(CurrentRow) Then
Date2.SetFocus
[Code] ....
I tried to do something similar with this code. Again, it only uses the last item I have selected.

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.
Thanks,
Lester

Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items
[Code] .....

I have the folloowing tables in the database
tblCD/Main: CdID - autonumber, CDName - text ...anything else will be a lookup field that we will get from another table, so we will come back to this table
tblAuthorType - AuthorTypeID - autonumber, AuthorTypeName - text. author type name will have, as I see it, 3 types : Composer, Group, Artist.
tblAuthorName - AuthorNameID - autonumber, AuthorName - text, - the name of all authors, composers and artists that u will pick from later
When I select Author which can be a cdgroup which is fine it will display those cd's related to the cdname. Such as Author TypeName Composer, Group. Artist.
tblTrackNumber - -Name of Song TrackNumID - autonumber, TrackNum
I have a subform and I want it to go to the tbktrack number with Name of Song related to that CD after I select an Author from the list box.
I am fairly new to this I need the vb codes for modification
mikevds@optonline.net
I set up these tables so then the relationships will refer back to them.

I have 2 tables one, Contacts, primary key ContactID this table contains names, addresses etc and one group called Form primary key Form ID, foreign Key Contact ID. I want to store the related contact ID in my form but display firstname ad surname from Contaacts list. This works fine when I am selecting name. List box shows 2 columns with correct data but when I recall the form after making other entries it only displays the firstname. The correct ContactID is stored. Why does this happen.
If I can get this working I would like to concatenate the Firstname and surname to make it more readable but don't know where to begin.

Let's say I have a list of customers. For each customer I have much more info on other lists (order list, personal info list, bank info list, and so on) - all are of course connected properly.
Now let's say a certain customer is no longer my customer, so I want to remove him from the customer-list. But, I want to move him to a different list - past-customers - so all the information that was related to that customer will remain so. In short, I want to remove from the customer-list without affecting the related data.

Hi everyone,
I have been making progress with customizing a
MS Access program, but one major problem is that
I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box
that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I
find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of
values from only the parameter that is primary key.
More specifically, the program is set up as follows:
I have two tables in this program: One that is called
"invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of
these tables, there is one common parameter, which
is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key,
and I used the "relationships" function to tie this
parameter to itself between the two tables.
I was successful in setting up a list-box for the
"Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box
for another parameter that is supposed to display
a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list
of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials.
In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to
take so that the database stores a list of people's initials.
Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each
record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key.
How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of
different people's initials, or in other words how can I get
all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of
initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried
different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the
Design mode of Tables, including Display Control,
Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column,
but the outcome is that the only parameter that I
get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which
is Item Number.
I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how
to correct this.
On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and
on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a
specific date range so that I can limit each report to a
specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well.
Thanks.

Im having a problem with a listbox/query/label. My DB is based on one that was posted in the sample database are of this forum. In itself it works really well. Clicking on the labels at the top of the list box applys a sort to the list box, each one of these sorts is based on a query. My porblem is that I want to be able to produce and print a report based on those queries. I know I could put a bunch of buttons on the form and do it that way. Or put a list box with all the my reports in and do it that way. I would prefer though, to have one button with one report reading the information from the different queries depending on what label is selected. Hopefully thats clear, the DB demonstartes it better. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I am struggling to create the "hidden" control. I'm assuming it should be a text box? Where should the code given on the above page go in the text box properties? Do I need to do something to activate the code after selections are made in the list box?

I have an unbound list box with it's row source a query whose select criteria comes from another list box once selected. When the form first opens the list box is empty until the user makes a selection. How do I prevent access from running the query in the first list box when the form first opens. It slows everything down.

I want to be able to specify the site of a disease. I had a combo box with pre-defined options (linked to a LU table) but now i find out there can be multiple disease sites. I changed it to a list box and chose multi-select (extended) but this does not retain the values in the form or record them in a table (even when I use the wizard and tell them what field i want the results in). What am i doing wrong or have I missed the whole gist of what a list box is for? Cannot find anything on line to help me here

What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.

HI hope you can help me!
I'm wanting to create drop down lists that are filtered as a result of a previous field, but not having much luck!
I've tried using a query to do this, but not having any luck! am i going down the right path?
Do i need a new query for each list, or can they all run off one query?
How can i refresh the list if a previous field is updated?
Additionally where there is only 1 option (similar to a lookup in excel) how can i set this without using a list box?
Hope that in the xmas spirit, my job is safe!!
Merry xmas to all.

Hi peeps
I have a list box that contains 4 fields and the list box is located on a form.
One of the fields on the form is [Date logged]. This is also colum 2 of the list box.
I am trying to write some code to say that if the Date logged on the form is different to the one in the list box, run an append query.
Basically, the principal behind this is to have an audit trail of when records have been ammended. The first time a record is created, a base record is created. It is this base record that will populate the list box along with all other record changes that occurr from that point on.
I am trying to say that if the [Date logged] does not match the last record in the list then it knows it needs to append the record to the history table again as a change has been made. I would really appreciate some help here folks. Thanks so much! :-)

Hi, im kind of new to access and im not sure whether this is possible or not, but i have a problem which needs to be solved by 4 list boxes on the same form.
The first list box will have 4 choices in it and depending on which one is chosen the second list box will be updated. This continues on to the 4th list box, which when a choice has been made a new form will open with the relevant information from the tables.
I hope this is enough information to enable someone to aid me with my problem, thankyou very much for your time.
Craig.

I am working on a database for a bowling tournament. I'm currently working on a form where the user selects from a combo box bowlers' names for doubles pairings. I thought that as a helpful tool I would also display a list of available remaining bowlers once the combo box information has changed.
I'm trying to write a module for the combobox_change trigger. What I'm having trouble doing is pulling the updated recordset from the base form and using that to update the availability box -- in other words, how can you query data from the recordset underlying an open form before the form is closed and the data is saved to the tables. The only way I can do this now is to temporarily close the form, manipulate a recordset from the table, then re-open the form. There's got to be a better way. Maybe I'm just missing something here.
Thanks in advance for any help.
