Address Form Combo Box Help Please

May 4, 2006

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I've had a look through the forum and tbh some of the answers were more complicated than I could cope with lol

If someone could explain simply how to do this I'd very much appreciate it :)

I have 2 tables:
Table 1 "Addresses" which contains Company, Address & Postcode
Table 2 "Shipping" which contains Number of pallets, Weights, dimensions, and a combo box for "ship to address" (which doesnt work lol)

and 1 form (which we print and fax) which I'd like to be able to select the company to which the shipment must go (looking it up from the "Addresses" table) and which would then fill the relavent fields on the form for the rest of the address.

I seem to have a mind block on this as I just cant get it to work :(

PS I'm VERY new to access so "the simpler the better" please :)

Ta muchly

Query How To Show A Temp Address Over A Perm Address

Jun 19, 2007

Hope you can help!

I have an access table which lists a customers address, however, if the customer has a temporary address it will also list that on a separate line -

CustID Address Type
1234 5 The Street P
1234 12 The Street T
2345 13 The Road P
3456 12 The Avenue P

Where P = Permanent and T = Temporary

I want to set up a query to show the permanent address where there is only one address, but where the customer has a temporary address also, I want to list the temporary one instead.

Thanks

Forms :: Easy Way To Use Microsoft Outlook Address Book To Populate A Drop Down Combo Box?

Email Address, Web Address, Hyperlinks, Etc..

Aug 9, 2006

I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks.
So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution.
How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?

The problems I ran into:
1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink
2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as:
email1@a.com; email2@b.com
it generates as:
email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#

I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?

Thanks,
Mariusz

PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?

Form To Build Web Address

Feb 9, 2006

Hi all.

I have been given a simple task, but i have no idea how to do it! I need a form to do the following:

User types in a reference, for example TEST1

We have a standard link along the lines of http://www.testtesttest.com/blaablaa/

We need access to append the "TEST/1" (or whatever the user has entered) to the end of the link, so the result would be:

http://www.testtesttest.com/blaablaa/TEST1

I would be extremely greateful of someone could let me know the best way of getting this done.

Kind Regards
Darren

Predictive Address Form Entries

Dec 1, 2006

i have an address memo field

on the form.. is there a way to display entries already present in certain address fields

eg..

the following address is in the 'pickup address' field and the 'destination address' field

23 High Street, South Kensington

so...

i put a rule on my pickupaddress memo field on my form..

if they type 23.. the rest of the above address appears and offers itself to the field as a sign of good will.. of course the user can just type over it if it happens to be a different address starting with 23..

is this hard to do?

General :: Email A Form To Address That Is In The Form?

Feb 7, 2013

I have a form that shows first name, last name, email, date appointment, time appointment.

If I just select the regular email option (form attached as pdf) I have to type in the email address manually.

How can I make sure the form is attached as a pdf to my email and the email address that is on the form that I have open is automatically put in the TO: field in my outlook?

Basically I just want to use 2 mouseclicks: button on the form to create an email in outlook and click the send button in outlook.

How To Setup FROM Email Address When Opening Outlook Through Access Form

Dec 9, 2013

I am opening a new mail message in outlook using a button in a form.I want to change the "from" email address to a specific inbox (NOT personal email). Even though the email address is switched, after I hit sent and check my sent items - the email is actually sent from my personal email address and not from the inbox email address i wanted it to be sent from. I have access/permission to sent emails from the other inbox.

Is there a way to make sure emails are sent from specific email addresses and not ONLY personal inbox.What I read online is probably because of some "network" connection issues. Is there a way refresh connection between access and outlook? I am not even sure what the problem is.

Modules & VBA :: Form With Textbox With LinkedIn Profile Address - Hyperlink Opens Twice

Jul 1, 2015

I have a form with a textbox with the "LinkedIn" profile address that I want the user to be able to pull up when they click a command button. It works, except that the link opens twice in two tabs in the browser. I've checked over the code for the whole form, and this code is only being run from the click event of the button, so why would it open the same tab twice? Here's the code:

Private Sub cmd_Click()
Dim ctl As CommandButton
Dim txthyper As String
Set ctl = Me!cmd
txthyper = Me!LinkedIn

[code]....

Forms :: Change Record Source Of Combo Box On Form Based On Another Combo Box

Mar 31, 2014

I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.

So my questions are:

1) can this be done
2)If it can be done, how can I do it?

Forms :: Filtering A Combo Box On A Subform From A Combo Box On A Main Form

Apr 27, 2013

I have a Suppliers database which contains a form that will allow me to place orders with Suppliers.The Main form has a combo box that allows me to select the supplier. The combo box is called SupplierID with the following:

Row source: SELECT Suppliers.SupplierID, Suppliers.CompanyName FROM Suppliers ORDER BY Suppliers.CompanyName;

The subform is called Stock Subform witha combo box called ProductID with the following:

Row source: SELECT DISTINCT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Products.Discontinued FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID=Products.SupplierID WHERE (((Products.Discontinued)=0)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName;
Event Procedure - AfterUpdate: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_AfterUpdate
Dim strFilter As String
' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "ProductID = " & Me!ProductID

[code]..

The Link fields are done on the Purchase Order ID (PONoID).What I want to achieve is to select the supplier from the combo box (SupplierID) on the main form and then the combo box (ProductID) on the subform to filter to only show products directly supplied by the Supplier selected on the Main Form.

Filtering Combo Box Based On A Value From Another Combo Box (in Multiple Items Form)

Mar 11, 2012

Let's assume we have 3 tables:

Order_Category (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type_Name) with 2 records:
1, Minor
2, Major

Order_Type (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type) with 4 records:
1, Book
1, Pencil
2, Car
2, House

Orders (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type, value) with 2 records:
1, NULL, NULL
1, NULL, NULL
2, NULL, NULL

I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:

1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID.
2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.

Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:

SELECT Order_Type
FROM Order_Type
INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID
WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]

But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).

Problems Using A Combo Box To Filter Records In Another Combo Or A Sub-form

Nov 8, 2004

I have seen a few articles here and there on using a combo box to filter records in a sub-form and to filter records in another combo box, but I am not getting anywhere. I hope someone can belp

Exercise 1

For this exercise, I have the following tables:

tblClients containing client names
tblProjects containing some project details

I want to set up a simple form, so that the user can select a client name from a combo box on the main form which filters the project detail records in the Projects sub-form.
Once the user enters project details, I want this info as well as the selected ClientID to be fed back to tblProjects.


Exercise 2

I have the following tables:

tblProjects as above
tblWorkstream containiig names of workstreams and some other details.

Every project has one or more workstreams

I have a form where users will enter hours worked on each workstream. They will first select Project from a combo box on the main form. This should then filter records to be displayed in the Workstream Combo box, before they can then enter hours.



Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of this better.

Thanks in advance.

ps. I am a novice, so I'm hoping to do the above using default MS stuff, not with complex programming!!!

Thanks

General :: Subform Combo Box Restricted By Form Combo Box

Mar 28, 2014

I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.

Forms :: Opening A Form From Another Form Via Combo And Auto Loading Form Data?

Apr 14, 2015

I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.

The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.

The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.

How To Sort By IP Address

Aug 29, 2005

I am completely stumped on this one. I have a database where we track IP Addresses and I just want to sort by IP...should be simple, I'd think.

With these 5 IP's, I'd want them in this order:
1.2.3.1
1.2.3.4
1.2.3.7
1.2.3.9
1.2.3.10
1.2.3.17
1.2.3.21

But it sorts in this order:
1.2.3.1
1.2.3.10
1.2.3.17
1.2.3.21
1.2.3.4
1.2.3.7
1.2.3.9

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I want it to see each number as a whole, for example "10" instead of "1" and "0"

Much thanks.

Query Address Help

Jun 29, 2006

I have an address all in the one line at the moment. My front end has been programmed this way. Now I have to split the address into 3 or 5 lines. The address looks like this:

3 Thorn Road Edinburgh Scotland G68 2AA

The post code is in a seperate field so that makes it easier for me.

This is the query i have.

UPDATE Clients SET Clients.Address1 = Left([Address],InStr([Address],",")), Clients.Address2 = mid([Address],InStr([Address],",")), Clients.Address3 = Right([Address],InStr([Address],","));

If it was looking for this address: 34 Thornwood Road, Kilmarnock, Aryshire. It would produce

Address1 = 34 Thornwood Road, = Correct
Address2 = kilmarnock, Ayrshire ,= Should be kilmarnock
Address3 = nock, Ayrshire = Should be Ayrshire

tried all different ways and it meeses up can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Address Validation

Dec 14, 2006

Hi all,

Just a little advice on how to approach a problem.

I have some simple address validation in an unbound form. When the user types in a suburb, I have a DLOOKUP function that returns the appropriate postcode for that suburb.

My problem is that most suburbs have more than one postcode (standard and PO BOX).

How can I return both values?

My intention is to then allow the user to select the appropriate postcode.

Thanks

Robert
