This is my very first post on this forum. I started to work with Acces and SQL only two weeks ago, so my questions probably are newbie-stuff, but please bare with me and please help me anyway :-)
In my form I've inserted a list that shows data from one of my tables. The posts are ordered by 'ID' (and I know how to change this). But I want to make a button just right of it, that, when it's clicked, sorts the list by 'first name' instead.
I have a very simple form that details loan machines for customers.
What I need is a very obvious sign on each record to see if the machine is in our stock or not.
A normal check box is an ovious answer but they are too small and my users complain (bigger glasses were an option :) ).
Ideally a toggle button or something that the user can click and it will change colour maybe between Green and Red (Please see attached screen shot) Green for in stock and red for out on loan. Any ideas or suggestions would be fantastic.
Ok what I have is a List box with four rows. (Name, Assignment, Location, Description) These are all labeled with a frame at the top that when that frame is selected that row is put into alphabetical order. The next thing I have is a combo box which also sorts the List box by "major location". The combo box has the following (All, Fort Mills, Corporate, Pequot Lakes, Savage, Retail) When one of those is selected the location row then shows only one of the following locations and the others are removed. Here is where the problem comes into place. I want to be able to select a major location, then be able to sort with the frame. When I select a major location, and then click on the frame, lets say "Name" the list resets back to everything from that table and not just that certain "Major Location" that I have selected. I need to sort whatever is selected in that "Major Location" by whatever is selected in that frame. thanks for any help, I know its a hard one.
I need to manage a list of, in this case "medications", with this list the most common "meds" are on the top of the list. there will be at times new "meds" added that should be at the top of the list. I want to create a unbound box that will let me drag the "meds" up or down in the list. The best emample i know of is the way you can set the "Tab" fields on a form to move the tabs stops.
Hi, I need help with listbox problem: I made a listbox contains peoples name from A to Z. I want to sort it via A to Z button press. It's similar with customer phone list form in Northwind.mdb sample, due to my limited knowledge, I can't replicate it using listbox.
I created a button for a form using a built-in macro function for sorting records, and I am returned with the following error: THE COMMAND OR ACTION 'SortAScending' ISN'T AVAILABLE NOW.
I'm displaying records in a subform that is in the datasheet format.I would like a sort button on my main form so that I can click a column header, press this button and it can sort the datasheet ascending.
Ive created a form and one of the fields is a field called "Due Date"
I want to create a button that once pressed will sort the records in order of due date with the oldest being record 1.
How I can get a button to manipulate fields.
Ive got a set of buttons at the bottom of my form (Ive placed them in the footer) that were set up using Access automatically. They go to first, last, next and previous records. Ive also set up two extra, one that creates a new record and another that sets the record.
The thing is that the set record button I would actually like it to take the data in a field called "Frequency", add a random number to it and then set the record.
EmpName GroupNum Jon Group1 Sam Group2 Tom Group1 Bob Group1 Hal Group2 Dan Group3 Cal Group2
With sample table above, can I write a query in Access that lists the data by GroupNum based on my criteria, say Group2 1st, then Group3, then Group1? Basically, how do I make the result show:
Sam Group2 Hal Group2 Cal Group2 Dan Group3 Jon Group1 Tom Group1 Bob Group1
Ok, I am a noob at reports and did a search on this. My searching DID NOT HELP ME! I thought I would make that clear :D Maybe someone can tell me what to look at for this issue.
I need to take one report, allow the users to easily use a dropdown or listbox on a form to Sort and Group many fields of data. To recap: The user will click on name in the list and it will sort report by name. Also I need them to be able to select up to three sort criterias.
I am trying to put together a form where employees will be entering maintenance information into my database. One of the requirements for this data is that when they perform repair work on an asset, they have to list a problem, cause and remedy. These are codes that are specific to each asset.
The closest thing I can think of to what I am trying to acheive is the selectors on car search websites. You select a MAKE, and then the MODEL list is narrowed down based on that, then you pick the TRIM, which is narrowed down based on the model selection. I have an Excel spreadsheet of the Assets(Failure Class), Problems, Causes, and Remedies...I'm just not sure how to put this into Access to get the desired output. I have attached a sample of the Excel spreadsheet for illustration.
I believe I'm going to have to put each of the columns in a seperate table and use relationships..but I'm not sure about that.
I have a Listbox that I use to find records in the Database. It has two fields, [ShootID] and [ShootDate]. It is curently sorted in the query by [ShootID] but I want the user to be able to change it to sort by [ShootDate] and then back again.
I have about 10 reports and I have them listed in a combo box. I would like to just pull down the report I want and click on the single button and it would open up. I know I am a pain in the *** but I could always hook the reports to 10 buttons but that design looks trashy.
I already made the reports and just waiting for some help. I think im losing my mind, it seem every time something is done in this database, people keep asking for more changes. What is going on.....
I need to select information from different combo boxes. Using a command button, i would then like the information transferred onto a list box.
I have so far managed to link all my combo boxes so the result comes out on a list box. if one combo box is left blank, i get no information in the list box. is there a simple way of doing this.
I open a form (EntryBasic) for users to enter data in, which is then saved to the only table in the database (MasterTable). The form (EntryBasic) has a list box with four choices: red, white, blue, orange. The button that opens the form is placed on another form (MainForm) The form (EntryBasic) record source is MasterTable.
A user is on the MainForm and needs to add a new record related to red. When user clicks on the button (NewRedEntry), I need the form to open and the list box pre-selected to red.
Is there a macro or VBA code that might simply execute this action, preferably something that can be attached to the NewRedEntry button?Even better, if there are two list boxes, code such code be applied to same NewRedEntry button, where both list box values are pre-selcted with the click of this button?
I have a form with data fields and a list box, data is coming from a query. When I add a toggle button to apply a filter to the data on the form, the data in the fields are filtered, but the list box still shows all the data items. How do I use a toggle button or something on the form that when activated it filters the data in the list box and the list box only shows the filtered content.
I have a simple listbox (single column, no multi-selection).I want to enable a command button when the user selects an item in the listbox / disable it if no items are selected.I'm using the AfterUpdate event of the listbox, as follows :
Code:
Private Sub lstOptions_AfterUpdate() Select Case Me.lstOptions.ItemsSelected.Count Case 0 Me.comConfirm.Enabled = False Case Else Me.comConfirm.Enabled = True End Select End Sub
But when I select an item from the listbox, and debug the code, the Count is always zero? Even though I can see the item selected??
Now I have "tbl_organs" with three columns "organNameLatin" and "organNameArabic" as body organs names in latin and its arabic translation,and "bodySystem" which contains body sestems "digestive, respiratory..." in Latin only, and "frm_visit" as a form for recording visit data, I added unbound combo box "cbo_organ" with raw source "tbl_organs", I addedd two command buttons "cmd_En" and "cmd_Ar" to convert the combo box value from english to arabic, I mean cmd_En for showing combo box with two columns "organNameLatin" and "bodySystem",for cmd_Ar will show "bodySystem" and "organNameArabic" , the value of "cbo_organ" then used with another field for populating a txt box, i used this code for onClick event for "cmd_En" :
Me. cbo_Organ = "select distinct bodySystem, organLatinName" & _ "from tbl_organs " & _ " order by bodySystem;"
And for cmd_Ar :
Me. cbo_Organ = "select distinct bodySystem, organArabicName" & _ "from tbl_organs " & _ " order by bodySystem;"
By pressing cmd_En nothing changes and combo box still showing three columns, also the final result is populating bodySystem in final txt box instead of organ name, I dont know if properties of combo box "cbo_organs" like column count and row source have effect on this or not, and if I should determine row source of combo box from the beginning or not ? NB: bodySystem is in one language only which is Latin, the form is unbound, combo and final txt box are unbound.
i made a report based on a query. when i run the query, my results are sorted by Job Time Ascending, like i want... when i made my report i chose job id as the main group priority in the wizard..
now in my report it displays the jobs in ID ascending, rather than Job time ascending as my query says..
i dont want to re-do the report it took ages.. how can i fix this?
I have a form in Access 2K that properly displays city, state and zip codes. As I type in each letter of a city's name into the combo box, I get the first city in the sorted list displayed (autofills). That's fine when there is only one zip code for a city, but when I enter "chic" for chicago I still get the first chicago zip code in my table.
It sure would be nice if I could do a "sort within a sort" so that if there were two or more records with the same city name then that whole group would drop down so I could choose one of the other zip codes. If this is doable, kindly point me to an example as I need all the help I can get.
