Alternative To Listbox?
Oct 9, 2007
Hello
I am designing a database in which I have used a lot of listboxes sourced to tables. I need to run queries on the listbox results but this doesn't always work due to the listbox/query issue, (found on this forum).
Is there an acceptable alternative to listboxes as the only thing that I can think of is to use checkboxes which would make the data entry for the end user interesting? (The only way around this would be to have individual databases for each person, this defeats the objective of having a database...)
Many thanks

I am having multiple user problems with access 2000 quite frequently, and I thought that replication would solve this, as it stands however its proving difficult to get my hands on the developer edition, just wondering, is it worth the hassle to get it, or is there an effective alternative to replication?

The following is loaded in a query:
The field is called CS:
Like [Enter Specialist Last Name Only] & "*"
It works ok, but of course if you don't type anything it will bring all the records up for view, and I don't want that to happen. Can I do something that won't make that happen?

I want to be able to use something like DDESend for putting data into word bookmarks. I already have several instances where this is done with code but I need some others with a simple thing like DDESend.
The problem I have with DDESend is when the form opens a box pops up asking if the Word file is to be opened. I tried with code to first open the Word.doc file and then have the code open the form with the DDESend text boxes but that ends opening two instances of the same Word.doc and the screen all quivers:D
If I just open the form in question and then click OK to open the Word.doc, then close and reopen the form (but without closing the Word.doc, just shrinking it) then all is well. But it is not practical to do that for what is wanted.
Any ideas or an alternative to DDESend. An alternative would need to be simple like a DDESend in text box as it requires someone to be able to easily change field references.

I have a query worked out with the exact result I'm looking for, but it's kind of slow. Can someone find another way to write up this query?SELECT EID, ShortName, ClassID
FROM (
SELECT Employee.EID, Class.CID, Class.ShortName
FROM Employee, Class
) AS Temp1
LEFT JOIN [Class Attendance]
ON (Temp1.CID=[Class Attendance].ClassID) AND
(Temp1.EID=[Class Attendance].EmployeeID);The inner (green) query pairs every employee with every class they could possibly take (cross product). Then that query is joined with the attendance table to show who has taken which class. If a class hasn't been taken the ClassID will be null like so:EID ClassID ShortName
=========================
111-11-1111 1 ISM
111-11-1111 2 ABC
111-11-1111 BGP
222-22-2222 ISM
222-22-2222 2 ABC
222-22-2222 3 BGPSo is there an easier way to get this result?

In a table with 5000 records there is a field named "products" with 800 differents products (product1, product2, … product800).
I want to create a new field in a query and mark 100 of these products as "Not available" and the rest 700 as "Available".
For a small number of products I can do this in QBA, using IIf function.
E.g. Products not available:IIf([products] ="product5";"Not available"; IIf([products] ="product10";"Not available"; IIf([products] ="product22";"Not available";"Available"))).
How can I do this for 100 products
Thank you.

I wish to send a report to the PDF printer driver but DO NOT wish to switch the default printer settings. Having found some helpful code on this forum that changes the default printer to the PDF driver, prints the job and then reverts the default printer back to the original printer device.
I am still using Access '97 and although in the code, the default printer does revert back to what it was originally, the Default Printer status 'tick' no longer appears under Start/Settings/Printers.... Consequently, subsequent print jobs outside of Access go to another device and not my DEFAULT printer.......???
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
Oh - in case I wasnt clear - I want to do this in code NOT using the Print dialog box.... !

Hi I've got some code from http://www.lebans.com/alternatecolordetailsection.htm
It allows for alternate bands of color to be displayed for alternative records in Forms in Continuous View. I've looked in this forum for other alternatives to this but the only ones that are available change the background of a control rather that display a whole row that is filled with colour. So therefore the background of the row is say in red, the background of the text controls are in red.
I've managed to put the code into my form and download the class. The only problem is that I can't seem to set the colour in the actual class file - it's all a little bit confusing! Can you help? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........... :D
You can download the sample database from http://www.lebans.com/alternatecolordetailsection.htm

I've been pulling my hair out since last night so any help at all would be appreaciated

I was looking for free access add-ins through a search engine when I came across this site. I'm not sure whether or not some of the more seasoned programmers have seen this, but so far it looks like a less confusing alternative to the security features that access comes with. I'm not in any way advertising this, and I haven't tried it myself yet, so I can't speak about how good or bad it is, but it may be something worth looking into. Here are the links:
http://www.accesswizards.com/Downloads.html This lists the add-ins that are available from this particular site.
http://www.accesswizards.com/SecDetails.html This is the "read me" information about the security add-in.

I have tried to create an MDE file for my database but can't figure out why it will not let me. I can't don't think I am over the limit in open TableIDs. I have 76 Forms and 91 Tables.
I am setup with two databases - the database with the data is on the server. Is there any other alternative that I can do other than putting the mdb file directly on the client. And if not is there a way to stop the mdb file from constantly growing in size.

What I am doing, is I have various products with 5 basic fields. I then wanted to add an array of text fields to 2 of those original 5 basic fields. I attempted to do this with a subdatasheet, however, a subdatasheet is not record specific, is not directed to a specific field, and really does not do anything that I want.
Say that the basic field is ProductDescription. I want one column of fields to correlate to it, like below.
ProductDescription
Is blue
Is large
Is heavy
Is strong
Each product will have a different amount of varying descriptor fields. Once understand how to incorporate this with my project, I then will need to understand how to add the subdatasheet to a report easily. Thanks for any help,

If any one can make a suggestion it would be great. I have a list of names with phone numbers, addresses and emails. I thought I could use a combo box to select the name and and have the other date associated with it come up in the appropriate boxes set. I can't get it to work. Does any one have any suggestions on how to make it work or another method that can be used. The out come I want is to allow someone to pic name from a list which will then set the phone number, address and email correct. Ideas would be great.
Thanks Tracey

I am trying to avoid to use a Combo Box & a List Box because of the way the records are stored in the table, I only need to verify that the user does not enter a 3 letter code that is not contained in a specific table (I have a table of countries with the 3 letter code example if the user types ESC instead of ESP an error appears) Is it possible to use the after update to verify the contents against a table?

Hi, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. I've searched the forum to see if there are any existing threads that might help me, but I've not found anything that does...
(I think this thread ( http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=93444&highlight=Copying+data )may be trying to achieve something similar to me, but I'm a beginner and don't really understand it)
I shall stop waffling! I'm not entirely sure that what I'm trying to achieve is possible, I expect it probably is!
Right, I have a form (frmGroupRegister, which contains exactly the same fields as the table it comes from, tblGroupRegister), which consists of three things:
-GroupDate - The date a group took place on. It is my primary key, as no more than one group occurs on a specific date.
-ParentList (A listbox which contains a query showing the ID number, forename and surname of everyone in a table, tblParentDetails)
-ParentsAttending (A blank listbox)
I would like to place buttons in between the ParentList and ParentsAttending, which would allow users to conduct a 'register' of attendance by copying individual/multiple details from ParentList into ParentsAttending (much like you get when choosing which fields to include in a form when using a wizard for example). I would also like them to be able to remove people from ParentsAttending by using a button in case of accidentally adding the wrong person into the ParentsAttending box.
I'm aware that another, probably simpler way of achieving this would be to use a tick-box system, but I feel that visually, the first method would both look better and demonstrate who is present more clearly.
Any help would be much appreciated, but my Access skills are quite basic and things will probably need to be spelled out for me.
I'm using Access 2000 and Windows XP.
Thanks for your help,
Alice :)

I am using the selections made of the form to generate a query for the user.
I have a CITIES listbox that is populated with values from a stored query.
I would like to make it multi-select and populate a LOCATIONS list box and a NAMES list box based upon the CITIES that are selected.
I have the locations currently populated from a stored query that reads the City selection from the Form. It looks like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) AS Expr1
FROM t_location INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_location.LOCATION_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.LOCATION
WHERE (((t_location.CITY)=[Forms]![MasterQueryGenerator]![CityList]));
I also want multi-select so that is you can un-select all and get the results for all cities.
Here is my half thought approach.
Code:
Private Sub CityList_AfterUpdate()
'Dim LocQryStr As String
'Dim r As Integer
'Dim ctl9 As Control
'LocQryStr = "SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) " & _
[Code] ...
I intended to have the variable LocQryStr as the row source but I abandoned the idea of having multi-select when I saw that .Selected(I) never returned true. Its like the values aren't read in this subroutine.

Okay then, after much trouble and confusion, I finally realized I need to use an Extended listbox in order to allow for multiple items to be selected from a list on my form (rather than the evil multiple selection combobox!).
However, now I am trying to figure out how to make one listbox (IndustryClassification) only be visible if the item "Industry" is selected in another listbox (TypeOfBusiness). Coding I can use for this in the AfterUpdate event of the listbox?

Hello,
I've got this multiple select listbox which writes data into a textbox:
Private Sub List2_AfterUpdate()
Dim Cursisten As String
Dim ctl As Control
Dim Itm As Variant
Set ctl = Me.List2
For Each Itm In ctl.ItemsSelected
If Len(Cursisten) = 0 Then
Cursisten = ctl.ItemData(Itm)
Else
Cursisten = Cursisten & "," & ctl.ItemData(Itm)
End If
Next Itm
Me.txtCursisten = Cursisten
End Sub
And I've got a SELECT ALL button to select all records in the listbox:
Private Sub cmdSelectAll_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdSelectAll_Click
Dim i As Integer
If cmdSelectAll.Caption = "Alles Selecteren" Then
For i = 0 To Me.List2.ListCount
Me.List2.Selected(i) = True
Next i
cmdSelectAll.Caption = "Alles De-Selecteren"
Else
For i = 0 To Me.List2.ListCount
Me.List2.Selected(i) = False
Next i
cmdSelectAll.Caption = "Alles Selecteren"
End If
Exit_cmdSelectAll_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdSelectAll_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdSelectAll_Click
End Sub
The only thing is that when I use the SELECT ALL button, the function List2_Afterupdate doesn't work anymore. There must be a simple solution but I just can't figure it out. Can anyone please help me?
Tnx a lot!

Hello everybody,
Hopefully somebody can help me on this one. I searched the whole internet and access forums, but I didn't find the exact solution for my problem.
I've got a table with students, a table attendance, where I now only save the students who are absent, but I would like to save also the students who are PRESENT (at the same time).
I've got a combobox where I filter the Class, which then updates a listbox with the students from that class. What I do now is select the students from the listbox and then press a save button and it saves the records to the table absence with STATUS: ABSENT.
I would like to save the NON selected students also in that table, but with PRESENT in the column STATUS.
I thought of making another listbox next to it, where after selecting the absent students, they wil apear and disappear in the PRESENT table so I can store all the information.
But the only problem is that I can find this solution when the listbox is populated by a list of values instead by a table or query. And the other solution is to store the temporary data into 2 different tables, but that's not working for me because it's a multi user database and everything will be messed up.
Hope that someone can help me, I will be very happy.

Firstly, is it possible to hide unchecked values in a listbox? I have a user with several roles and I want to only show the ticked roles in the listbox.
Secondly, can you create a hyperlink on listbox values? i.e, if I click on "Manager" in the roles listbox, it follows that to another form and opens the record about managers?
