Hi, I need help on cascading combo boxes, in my form
In my example DB i have 3 tables(when i find a soloution i will implement it on a larger scale database which will have around 15 tables). I need to create reports of these tables. The problem was that i need to filter the data before i create the report by 2 fields. If i was to do this the straight forward way i would have 3 tbls, 3 qrys and 3 reports (which on my final database would mean 15 of everything.)
So i've decided to use a form driven system to reduce the number of forms and querys i have in the DB. Using a form based system i should have 3 Tables (called 1, 2 and 3), 1 Query (called query2), 1 Form (called withselect) and 1 report (called rptquery1).
Now to the system.
The form should have 3 combo boxes. 1 at the top to select the table i want to query. Then 2 others to select the fields by which to filter. the form should also have 2 buttons, 1 torun the report one to return reults in a table to edit the data if needed.
This is the current problem i am having
In the forms 1st combo box i have managed to list all my 3 tables (thanks to FancyPrairie) using the following code:
SELECT MSysObjects.Name, MSysObjects.Type
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (Left$([Name],4)<>"MSys") AND (Left$([Name],4)<>"USys") and (Left$([Name],1)<>"~") and (MSysObjects.Type=1)
ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;
But i cant select any thing in the following 2 comboboxes. At the moment im tryin to use this code in the record source of the 2nd and 3rd combo boxes
SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE (YourTable.TableName=[Forms]![withselect]![Combo6]);
Attached is the latest version of the DB.
Im getting the error:
The record source 'SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE (YourTable.TableName=[Forms]![withselect]![Combo6]);' specified on this form or report does not exist.
I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate() If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable" Else If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable" End If End If End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
I have a form (named Example) to create reports by selecting fields from tables or queries. there is a option box (name is KynkSec) with two options (Table, Query) and a combobox named as KynkTurSec.I want to change the data source of combobox either table or query. By afterupdate, that combobox is requering the listbox "ListKynkAlan" and I can see fields of selected table or query. (That is my dream))Unfortunately I can not do that. Combobox is showing only tables or both of tables and queries. But not only query.
Here is str source of my combobox:
SELECT MsysObjects.Name, MsysObjects.Type FROM MsysObjects WHERE (((MsysObjects.Type)=1) AND ((Left$([Name],1))<>"~") AND ((Left$([Name],4))<>"Msys")) OR (((MsysObjects.Type)=5) AND ((Left$([Name],1))<>"~") AND ((Left$([Name],4))<>"Msys")) ORDER BY MsysObjects.Name; That is showing both of tables and queries.
And I wrote a code for KynkSec option box;
Private Sub KynkSec_AfterUpdate() ' Populate rowsource of KynkTurSec Dim strSQL As String On Error GoTo HandleErr Select Case KynkTurSec
Case 1
strSQL = "SELECT MsysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects" _ & WHERE(((Left$([Name], 1)) <> "~") And ((MsysObjects.Type) = 1) And ((Left$([Name], 4)) <> "Msys")) Order BY(MsysObjects.Name)
Case 2
strSQL = "SELECT MsysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects" _ & WHERE(((Left$([Name], 1)) <> "~") And ((MsysObjects.Type) = 5) And ((Left$([Name], 4)) <> "Msys")) Order BY(MsysObjects.Name) Case Else End Select
[code]...
But this code is not working and giving a warning messsage "Sub or function is not defined"..So How can I change the source of combobox, either table or Query?
I have a combobox with a value list as the control source. I have a user who clicks the drop-down, but there are no options. Every other user is able to view these options, and this user has no problem with any other combobox with a value list.
I suspect I have made a beginners mistake in my very first Access database, but before I start this again from scratch, I would like to know if it is really a mistake, or if I might easily fix it somehow.
I have a form with several combo boxes.
All the source fields for those comboboxes are in one table. But of course every field has a different number of cells containing content. Now when I open a combobox in a form, the sequence of the cells are a mess, and there are lots of empty lines for many of them. (probably also because I reordered some fields in the source table)
I now have no clue if I can crop the combobox dropdown output somehow so that each combox only shows cells with content. (and preferably in a defined order)
Should I have started with creating one different table for every combobox, and not trying to put all the source fields in one table?
I have a Form with a combobox and 3 checkboxes now i want to change the Rowsource of the Combobox by clicking on the checkboxes. When i click the Checkbox the Rowsource gets Changed as i want it but i can not use the new Values cause its giving me the error "The value you entered is not valid for this field"
The Funny thing is its always bound to the type of data i choose first. When i first select the Week i can select only Weeks (17,18,19 etc) When i choose Day first it only accepts Dates (01.01.2014 etc)There is no Control Source set . And the Bound Column for all Sources is 1
Here the Code
DD_Zeitraum is the Combobox CB_Day CB_Week CB_Month are the Checkboxes
Code: Private Sub CB_Day_Click() If Me.CB_Day.Value = -1 Then Me.CB_Month = 0 Me.CB_Week = 0 Me.DD_Zeitraum = "" Me.DD_Zeitraum.RowSource = "" Me.DD_Zeitraum.RowSource = Dist_Datum Else Me.CB_Day.Value = -1 End If End Sub
I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.
I have been looking for days on the net for my listbox problem. It is there and found a few, even on this forum. but when i try the solutions mentioned i am in a total loss and do not know what to change to make it work for me.
I have a form named A/B Retriever with a record source qry input AB Bins Than i have a unbound combobox with row source qry input AB Bins. This populates 8 textboxes with B through I carton boxes, stored in a bin. The user selects a Bin location from the combobox and can put a "x" in a textbox to illustrate that the box is empty. This works perfect.
Underneath the input bin and box part i have 8 listboxes that shows a query that has counted the empty boxes with the corresponding bin location. this also works. but the question from users where, If i click on a, lets say empty B-box at Bin location 12A20, they want the combobox automatically focus on the combobox with the corresponding Bin location. This is a quick way for them to delete a empty box (remove the X).
I have a form with a combo box on it and what I would like to do is when I click a command button, change the record source of the combo box from the query I currently have to a different one?
I have set up a simplified event booking procedure, similar to the one generated by the access event manager wizard. It uses three tables, one with attendees details, one with the event details and abooking table that links the attendee ID with the Event ID.
The booking table uses commands similar to SELECT[Names + Contacts].[ID],[Names + Contacts].[Surname]FROM[Names + Contacts] to generate drop down lists of surnames and events so that the two can be matched together.
This works fine as a table.
However when placed into a form, whenever the form is opened I get an error message saying the record source specified on the form does not exist.
I have tried regenerating the form, etc. I have used a wizard to generate the form, closed the form, not changed anything in the database and then tried reopening it and I get the error message, can anyone shed any light?
Also if you accept the message then it knows how many records there are, so it must know there's something behind it, also if you change to design mode and then back to form mode, it finds all the data.
I have a form with a record source already defined (used so the user can browse through records and edit them) I have the form store requirement ids and not the name however I would like to present the requirement name rather then the id to the user So it tried with a sql query and a recordset but I keep getting the error data type mismatch in criteria expression on this line Set rsm = dbm.OpenRecordset(sRequirementName1)
I think the problem is having the record source already defined and then having a new Recordset not sure how to work around it
here is the code ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub Next_Click()
Dim sRequirementName1 As String Dim queryResult As String Dim wsm As workspace Dim dbm As Database Dim rsm As Recordset
I have also attached the DB if anyone thinks they can help, if you are confused about what i am trying to do with the modify form i made one with students that works it is the modify hours1 form and the code above is the on click event for the next button
I have a main form that has 10 sub forms Each sub form’s record source is link to a different Query.
It takes more then a minute to open the form, (because it’s running the query for all sub forms). So I changed the sub forms source to SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE false;
I also changed the main form. When the button on the main form is clicked, it’s adding the following:
Me.SubMySub.Form.RecordSource = "select * from qMyQuery" Me. SubMySub.Form.Requery
However, after I close the main form, the sub form’s record source stays linked to SELECT * FROM qMyQuery;
And will take the same long time again to open the main form.
I have Form F_CashSalesHead with a subform F_CashSalesInvFoot with one-2-many relationship on their tables. Subform contains a checkbox field that I use to lock the record set (On a command button click it runs one update query to add value 1 to each checkbox to make Enable=False all the records of current invoice on the form).
One-2-many relation ship is made on InvNum field in both tables.
When I open F_CashSalesHead form, bcz of some code line I wrote on On Load event of F_CashSalesHead , at the beginning it give massage how many invoices are pending to lock and would you like to see. If click “Yes” to see list, it opens a small form that called F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices showing invoice numbers and unmarked checkbox which is pending to lock. This small form is based on following query,
SELECT DISTINCTROW T_CashSalesInvFoot.InvNum, T_CashSalesInvFoot.CashSalesCustomerName, Sum(T_CashSalesInvFoot.Lock_Cash_Inv) AS [Sum Of Lock_Cash_Inv] FROM T_CashSalesInvFoot GROUP BY T_CashSalesInvFoot.InvNum, T_CashSalesInvFoot.CashSalesCustomerName HAVING (((Sum(T_CashSalesInvFoot.Lock_Cash_Inv))=0));
This works fine.
What I am looking for is, I want to use the same F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices form for Credit Sales invoice also with the same trick. Because I don’t want to create another same form and write code that help to increase size of db.
Can it be done just by changing record source of form F_Count_Unlocked_Invoices? Or what is the way to do it?
Hello, I have a form with a subform. I want to change the record source on the subform during an OnClick event. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I get a "object does not support this method" error. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Heya. I hate posting yet another cascading query but I just poured through the first 40 bits and couldn't find something similar.
Basically, I seem to have an errored idea in how to effectively used cascading boxes on a larger form-wide scale.
Basically I have a form with an unbound combobox in the form header: cboSchool
The detail section should only have two fields, StudentID (txtStudentID) and a boolean (bolOT) both of which exist in a specific table source (tblStudents). StudentID is a locked field.
What I would like to do is only have the StudentID's available that are valid for the school. I attempted using a query in the record source that would reference cboSchool but I keep ending up with blank forms. (There's a string of queries that link the schools found in cboSchools to StudentID)
Hello, I'm having a strange problem and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have a form that is for inputting and modifying data in one table. It used to work when you opened the form you would see x amount of records. Now it's opening to 1 blank record. If you hit filter it fliters like 1700 records and then when you unclick it, you get the entire 10000 records. I thought it had something to do with the Record Source in the properties but when I fixed that it still didn't work. Any ideas? Thank you!
I am trying to create a textbox that will show a document number of the last record so when a user clicks add new document he/she knows what document number to enter in next. It must not involve the user looking a subform with the document numbers on it.
I have 2 forms. On form1, the record source is a query. From form2, I need to iterate through the recordset from form1 and perform some action. How do I access the recordset from form1?
OK. I have a report that I want to use as a master and use with about 4 different querys. In the report properties I've bound it to a query. I've tried for ages to change the record sources with on click command bottons on another form. I think things have become complicated because there's a subreport on the report I AND a there's bunch of code to make things invisible in the on page event of the report.
Hello once again, I am wondering how I can display information on a form that is not of the same record source without using a subform.
Right now, I have a form setup with qryAll as the record source which provides the information to a listbox i have setup on the form. When I select something in this list box, I want to display information related to it from a table based on a CenterID. Is this possible to do? I won't need to edit the values, I just need to display them into a textbox or something. Jared
This code loads a new subform in the frame. It then scopies a value to an input field but then i need to set the record source and display the data. This latest pasrt does not work.I've been trying for some time now by changing the part before recordsource but no luck.
Code: gekozenwo = Me.Keuzelijst0 Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.SourceObject = "frmInformation" Dim frm As Form Set frm = Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.Form frm.DataEntry = True Forms!switchboard.subfrmWindow.Form!Tekst33 = gekozenwo MsgBox gekozenwo
I know my form is large and got too many fields for a standard form but trying to expand it anyway and don't really want to go to sub-forms...as then cannot expand it without re-creating forms/queries/tables structure. (or that what i believe)
My form and subsequent table is nearing the 255 limit, so I created a second table and just used a query to put both in form, but then I found out that a query also has the limit...
So if have two queries set up from each table but to same form?
I have Form A that has a combo box and a "Submit" button. When the user clicks on the Submit button it needs to open Form B. Recordsource of this Form B is "Query B"
Item selected on the combo box becomes the criteria for "Query B and Form B needs to be opened based on that criteria.
What is the easiest and fastest way (no dlookups please!) to do this?
If an illustration is possible through an example that will be wonderful.
I am making a master form for three tables which ultimately form a hierarchy. I am getting all the fields from each table onto one form. By default the record source would be made up of an INNER JOIN such as below
SELECT PERSON.first_name, PERSON.country, PERSON.last_name, PERSON.street, PERSON.area, PERSON.city, PERSON.telephone, CONTRIBUTOR.registration_date, CONTRIBUTOR.fav_category, MUJAHED.profession FROM (PERSON INNER JOIN CONTRIBUTOR ON PERSON.id=CONTRIBUTOR.id) INNER JOIN MUJAHED ON CONTRIBUTOR.id=MUJAHED.id;
I'm trying to change the record source to match using the where clause instead. However the following allows me to view but not add a new record
SELECT PERSON.first_name, PERSON.country, PERSON.last_name, PERSON.street, PERSON.area, PERSON.city, PERSON.telephone, CONTRIBUTOR.registration_date, CONTRIBUTOR.fav_category, MUJAHED.profession FROM PERSON, CONTRIBUTOR, MUJAHED WHERE (PERSON.id = CONTRIBUTOR.id) AND (CONTRIBUTOR.id = MUJAHED.id);
A tip or guideline on how I can correct this will be appreciated.
