I have a combo box that has 3 columns. What I am trying to do is get the third column to be passed as the value to another textbox after the combo box is selected.
combo box sample data: Male/John/NY
the 3rd Column which is state I would like to have it sent to the State Field...
Hi: There are two textboxs in my main form. One is bound and another is unbound. There is no entry in the unbound textbox as values come into automatically after entering some information in the subform. My question is how to i pass values from unbound textbox to bound textbox every time when the value change in unbound textbox i need to change the value in the bound textbox. When the form load there is already value in the bound textbox which i want to override based on the values from the unbound textbox.
Thank You.
I need to have 2 textboxe son my form that are directly linked to data in a DB so that the user can type values in directly.
Unfortunately, the data for these 2 textboxes is completely separate from the main form's recordsource.
Is it possible to do this using an expression? I've tried but it only retrieves the data rather than allows you to update it.
If not, then will I have to do this through VBA code?
Hi there,
I'd like to call a function when a bound textbox is updated and for some reasons it doesn't seem to work. It works when the textbox is unbound (or maybe I missed something)
Here is a very simplified version of the form:
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3618/apf4ax.jpg
MyFunction() is just a MsgBox for now and I'd like it to appear when the textbox in the main form is updated (i.e. when the text in the subform is updated). I set .AfterUpdate= "=MyFunction()" and .OnChange="=MyFunction()" but nothing happens.
(see attached code)
Thank you in advance !
How do I autoenter text data (firstname, last name, PK) from "exam form" (linked to its independent table) to another "billing form" in a bound textbox. I also need to make a macro attached to a "billing" button on exam form so that when I click billing the names and ID should automatically fill corresponding fields on billing form.

I have a combo box that has two columns, the second one is bound.
Is there any way to reference the 1st column (the unbound one).
What I actually want to do is have the 1st column show up as a status line message or as a quick help message when the combo text is mouse_overed. The problem is the combo box field is a date that is unique 99 % of the time but in that one percent the user needs to see the beginning of the 2nd column ( think of a persons doctors appointments, where one percent of the time a individual needs to visit the same doctor twice in one day , in which case the procedure and the date becomes the selection criteria (but I don't want to show the procedure and the date in the combo box because the procedure is so darn long.)
Confusing enough?
Any ideas?
Thanks
hello guys
i have values in two unbound textboxes and now i would like to assign the sum to a bound textbox. Also need AfterUpdate event too.
Can any expert help?
Thank you
I'm looking for a work around for getting the bound column setting for a combo box to work. I created a simple table with 2 fields that i have a combo box pointed to. My settings for the combo box are
Column count 2
Bound column 2
The first field is "Description"
The 2nd field is "ID"
I cannot figure out how to have column 2 to be the value that is left in the combo box once I have made my selection.
Hi
I've created a listbox and am using the following code
stWhat1 = "": stCriteria1 = ","
For Each vItm1 In Me!LstArchive.ItemsSelected
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & Me![LstArchive].Column(0, vItm1)
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & stCriteria1
Next vItm1
Me!txtCriteria1 = CStr(Left$(stWhat1, Len(stWhat1) - Len(stCriteria1)))
The problem is that my bound column is a text field. I'm really struggling on where to put my quotations so that I get the following with the In function
In('00638','00639').
Any help or pointing in right direction would be very much appreciated

There are 3 column in a combo box, ID is bound column
Part no ID Description
0040 1 class 40-1
0040 2 class 40-2
0040 3 class 40-3
0041 4 class 41-1
0042 5
0042 6
When key in part no 0040, 3 rows under 0040 will be listed out only, filter and match as value entered only. do not show others part no in the combo box selection.
Ok....Just when you think it's all running smoothly.... :(
I have a combo box, MDLastName, with a column count of 9, with column 2 displaying and all others hidden. The selection made with this combo populates 7 corresponding fields (first name, address, etc). It's working perfectly.
The first problem I encountered was with identical last names, but different corresponding data. When I selected Jones, for example, it would populate the first Dr. Jones and his info, listed in the table. However, if I selected the second Dr. Jones in the combo list, it was still populating only the first Dr. Jones' info. I resolved this by binding the fist column (ID, aka primary key), but still hiding all colums but column 2. First problem fixed..
Next, I have a Word Template document bookmarked to receive data from the form, frmDenial. I have all the coding working fine and dandy to insert the data from the fields on the form, save, and print. However, instead of inserting the text from the MDLastName, it is inserting the primary key (because it is the bound column in the combo box). Now, because of the first problem discussed above, I cannot change the bound column to column 2 (containing the data I need in the Word Template). How can I get the right info to appear in my template with the bookmarks?
I have two listboxes. One for Activities and the other for Organizations.
I set the Org listbox to be multi-select so I could run a loop on that listbox to join multiple Orgs to a single Activity. That part works well.
To do so, I am using the bound column (which is the pkey value) from the multi select listbox, and on the single select listbox I'm using the ListboxName.value to gather the pkey for the "1" side of this 1:Many series of inserts.
Now... I want to use one of the other-than-bound-column value from the multi-select listbox, but I don't know how. When setting a value I only know of the use of :
Code:
ListBoxOrganizations.ItemData(varItem)
and I don't know how to do the equivalent of
Code:
ListBoxOrganizations.ItemData(varItem's column(2).value)
yes, I just made that up, but I hope you get the point. Meaning, as the loop cruises the ItemsSelected on the multiselect I'd like to use other than the bound column when setting variables.
I've tried using the column property to then cruise to the proper record in the listbox, e.g. :
[code]
txtCollaborationDesc = "Collaborate " & ListBoxOrganizations.Column(2, varItem) & " with " & listboxActivities.Column(2)
[code]
But this seems to return the column(2) value of the first record loaded into the list box, as if the varItem piece is being ignored. I believe the loop is working properly, as when the inserts are happening correctly with the bound column of the multi-select list is correctly present as an Fkey in the resulting child records.
I just can't get any other column's value for some reason.
MS Access 2010 and this is an accdb.
I have three tables.
Table 1: Group
Field 1: Group Text field ( Primary key)
Field 2: Group Description Text field
Field 3: Uidgroup( Autonumber)
Table 2: Subgroup Text field
Field 1: Group ( I want to bound this column to Table 1's Group field that is column 1) I have set bound column property to 1 and column count 1 and the Subgroup table is showing group fields as input perfectly no issues in that )
Field 2: Subgroup, Text field( Primary Key )
Field 3: uidsubg( Autonumber)
Table 3: Email
Field 1: Group ( Bound to Table1's Group ; showing values in combo box, setted bound column property to 1 and showing group field perfectly, no issue in that )
Field 2: Subgroup (I want to bound Table2's subgroup field, which is column number 2, so I wrote 2 in bound column property and row source is table subgroup ; Here is some error comes up, values from subgroup field of subgroup table not being shown up in Email Table's subgroup field as combo box. )
Field 3: Email Text field
Field 4: uideml (Autonumber ) primary key
I want to prepare a Data entry form should have all these fields from all the tables. That should work in following way, first user selects Group then User selects Sub Group and write Email and save the record.
What relationship should I set, or shall I change the table structure.
I'm using Access 2007. I've created a table with two fields. "Novice and Recertification" as in combo box.
I put it on the form. Now the idea is when a user clicks Recertification, it shows up on the report. When the user clicks on Novice, it should be empty on report (Reason why I want to keep novice is so that we have a record of it.)
Now the challenge is I added another column, empty field for Novice and Recertification for Recertification. Thing is if I set the bound column, I select on an empty field on form and it will be empty on report. But I want the user to see Novice on the form and it must not show on the report.
In my form my combo box displays a list from a query called DORP-HDR that has 3 columns
DORP-ID | CODE | NAME
and displays them like that is the drop down list
The form field that the combo is bound to takes the numeric-id field as its value. In the combo control wizard i nominated that value, and in the properties pane bound column value is 1.
and in the properties pane the row source is:
SELECT [DORP HDR].[DORP-ID], [DORP HDR].[CODE], [DORP HDR].[NAME] FROM [DORP HDR] ORDER BY [NAME];
So far so good. I have created lots of combo boxes before like this.
But this time i want the second field in the list (CODE) ALSO bound to another field in my form . So I want the combo to transfer two values not one. How do i do this?
Access 2010. The first table is called Clients.The Primary Key field for the Clients table is an AutoNumber field called ClientID.The other two relevant fields in this table are ClientFirstName and ClientLastName. The second table is called Contacts.In the Contacts table is a foreign key field, bound to the ClientID field from the Clients table, and also named ClientID.
On the Contacts table, the ClientID field properties are set on the Lookup tab as follows:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT clients.ClientID, clients.ClientFirstName, clients.ClientLastName
Bound Column: 1
Further, in the Row Source's Query Builder, ClientFirstName and Client LastName both have Ascending selected as Sort criteria.
Everything works as intended: When entering data into the the Contacts table (actually, the data is entered via a form built from the Contacts table) the data entry person can click the drop-down on the combo box for the ClientID field, scroll through ClientID records, and see unique ID numbers sorted by first and last names. And the actual data for the field is stored properly as the unique ClientID number.
When entering ClientID data into the Contacts table (or form), is it possible to enable autofill based on ClientFirstName and ClientLastName, rather than ClientID? For instance, let's say we have a few clients named Joe Smith. It would be great to just start typing "Joe Smith," and have the field autofill the ClientID number for the first client named Joe Smith. The intention is to make data entry a bit quicker.
So I have a list box that lists organizations. I recently changed the list box type to extended multi select. On the same form, I have a button that opens a new form where the user can input contacts for each organization. When the list box was not multi select, the expression [forms]![media]!
[List30] made the default value of one of the fields in my contact form the bound column from the selection in the list box. However, now that the list box is multi select, the contact input form does not seem to be able to get the value from the bound column in the list box. When multi select is turned on, is the bound column stored differently.
To even get the contact input button to work, I had to change the code from:
Private Sub Command40_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command40_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Contactsqry"
stLinkCriteria = "[Organization ID]=" & Me.List30
[Code] .....
On my form, I currently have a combo box that updates text box data with each new selection. However, after these text boxes for FirstName, LastName, etc. are updated, they cannot be edited. Here is the error message that appears in the status bar:
Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression '[Form]!EmpList.Column(13)'
I'm thinking it might be a result of the data source for the text boxes being a combo box expression.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks. :)
I try to put an expression for the property "bound column" so that my lookup values will be directly dependent on one of attribute's choice
I have got four options for my attribute. Each option will use a slightly different set of lookup values. I save all four sets in another table.
Then in my properties definition I refer directly to this table as lookup base. When I put bound column number equal to an expression so as to choose the right column of lookup values it refuses. It seems that it does notl ike anything other than a numeric value.
If that's a no-go, I am not sure how to achieve what I try to do then?
Essentially I have a table that 4 attributes: QID,itemID,CatType,Catchoice
CatType can have only 4 values. Each value will make Catchoice take on a different set of combo values
The problem I am having is that I am stuck at the Catchoice lookup definition because it is dependent on what kind of CatType the user picks.
i have a subform on a form with Source Object="Query.myquery", my form is generating a sql string dynamically and assigning this sql string to the RecordSource property which works fine. But now if the user changes the width of the columns in the subform and close the form , a prompt is thrown asking if the "myquery" needs to be saved. I dont want to save the settings of "myquery" but at the same time avoid this modal dialog. If i use DoCmd.SetWarnings=False , i dont see the warning anymore BUT the query gets saved.
I am using "myquery" to just display column names in the subform when the forms loads and also without it i cant directly use RecordSource property in my code.
any suggestions?
How in the world can I accomplish this? I have a set of dates on a form that change from week to week. I'd like to reference these text boxes in a query as column names. How can I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy form is in datasheet mode.
One of the textbox is called txtHours
When I access the form the column caption is "txtHours" !
As you can expect it looks ugly.
So to get a decent caption like "Hours" I am forced to set my textbox name to "Hours" !
As you can expect it goes against my coding standard to do that.
Beside I want the caption of some textboxes to include some non-standard letters such as `é' è' '!' ' ' etc. and if I put those in the textbox name it ruins the visual basic code !
:D
I have a form set up where a user chooses a page tab. Either statistical reports or detail reports. Then they have to choose between 2 toggle buttons. Candidate or hire.
So a user chooses detail, then candidate. An option group below that shows the different groupings of detail candidate reports that they can choose.
A couple of examples - detail report of candidates by office applied to, department, application source etc.
Once that is chosen a button is visible to continue. Now they are taken to the appropriate form. This is done by a global variable gstrformname defined in the afterupdate of the group option that they chose (office etc.)
Once they click to continue to the criteria form, they are choosing the criteria. (for example purposes) the choice below takes the user to a criteria form for choosing an application source ( email, monster.com etc) or click a button and all types are given. I have all of that set up. But now I want to change what report the command button is opening, to a variable. A variable that would be set by the below form when the type of report and grouping for the report are chosen...that defines a certain report.
I specified on this main report menu that it is a candidate report that I want, but when I get to the criteria form, I need a way to pass that choice on. I am not sure how to best do that.
I am trying to avoid making 2 copies of the same form 1 for candidates and 1 for hire. :crazy: I undertstand that I should pass a variable here.
So basically on the main form they choose candidate or hire report, then they choose group. The grouping information tells the command button what form to open (the application source criteria form, the office criteria form, etc). The thing is, this form is the criteria for the candidate report and the hire report. The command button on the criteria form would ideally be -
docmd.previewreport gstrreportname, acpreview
my question is, how or where do I define, from the point that they choose candidate or hire, to the next form, that they want the candidate by office or hire by office report? (define the gstrreportname variable as one of those too.)
Make sense?
Here is a pick of the report form (menu)
http://www.geocities.com/misscrf/reportmenu.jpg
For the afterupdate of the frame for the grouping of the report, I have a select case. In that I define gstrreportname for the report it is, if the choice goes right to a report. If it goes to a form first (for criteria), I define that form with a global variable gstrformname. Can I also define the report there (gstrreportname)? If I do that, will the criteria form know that? Even if I close the main report form?
I hope someone understands me! :shrug:
Okay I created a database that I am going to use to collect data about a study we are doing.When a participant is added to the database on the main (Participation Details form), it automatically generates an ID and creates a record in a second table/form - a questionnaire (i.e. Athens Questionnaire) that the participants fill out preserving the ID number that was created in the participation details form (I have been able to achieve this).However what I wanted to do next is be able to filter the Athens questionnaire using a combo box which contained all the participant's ID's.I was able to create the combo-box and populate it with the ID's using a query and did not put a control source on it (i used =tblAthens.ParticipantID ....) iand created a sub-form that contained the questionnaire. I did this by creating the questionnaire in a separate form called frmAthens_sub and dragging it from the "explorer window" into my open Athens Questionnaire form. However when I attempted to place code in the "After Update" field of the combo box I keep getting errors and I am not sure why.The code I am using is:Option Compare DatabaseSub SetFilter() Dim LSQL As String LSQL = "select * from tblAthens" LSQL = LSQL & " where ParticipantID = '" & cboSelected & "'" Form_frmAthens_sub.RecordSource = LSQL End SubPrivate Sub cboSelected_AfterUpdate() 'Call subroutine to set filter based on selected ParticipantID SetFilter End SubPrivate Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) 'Call subroutine to set filter based on selected ParticipantID SetFilter End SubIt is highly possible that I am just not doing something right as this is the first time I have used sub-forms. I tried to attach a copy of the database but cant get it below the max. The error seems to be coming from this line --> Form_frmAthens_sub.RecordSource = LSQLIs there an easier way or alternative code for filtering a sub-form from a combo-box?

I would like to pass a string variable to a query but it does not seem to work.
In the query, my criteria for the date field is (and works):
>=[forms]![frmDisposition]![FromDate] And <=[forms]![frmDisposition]![ToDate]
But, this is not working for the ID field criteria:
[forms]![frmDisposition]![ID]
In the forms code, I have a string based on the result of 3 check box. I tried using an unbound (ID) control to display the string so I know that the value of the string is correct. EX: "FW" Or "MA" Or "PD"
Is it possible to pass the value of the string to the query or do I need to try and pass the value of the unbound control to the query?
