I have created a table with a lookup column containing a combobox that allows multiple values. And a form to enter the data. Either on the table or via the form I can not manually type data in. I would like to be able to utilize the autoexpand property, however, everytime I try to manually type I just get the system beep.
View Replieshello can anyone please help me with this form?
I have a form in which has one drop down combo box and one data entry text
box.
The combo drop down box comes from a query of all active contracts from my
contracts table.
the second box has a unit ID number which the user enters.
All information entered in this data entry form goes to a Unit table.
My contract table has three columns: Name of contract and Type (only three
types): A, B, C. (contract table) and then a column that says active or
inactive.
i.e
Name Type Status
113 A active
114 B inactive
115 A active
116 A inactive
120 C active
121 C inactive
This is where I am stuck…
When a user puts an unit id number and then selects from the listbox one of
the active contracts for the first time is ok. For example: the user entered
unit number 123 and selected contract: 113 which belongs to type A.
What I need is that next time the user put the same unit number in the text
box then the contracts he could choose for that selected unit number could
only any of type B or type C. he/she can no longer choose other type A.
so basically for every unit id number i could have only one contract type A, only one contract B and only one contract C. :confused:
Can someone give me some light in how to start this?
I have a combo box, which auto fills a field box "on change" for some reason though, even after following the instructions I see on other web-sights I cannot type into the box.
I have:
limit to list: no
auto expand: no
and no other code on it apart from the auto-fill code what I want to be able to do, is type into the box, and if it is not a proper value, I can click the drop down box and select values that start with the value I typed.
How can i do the following? In a combo box, how can i type in say PEPPER and see every formulaName that contains Pepper in their description. I would get back Red Pepper, Orange Pepper, Black Pepper, Pepper, to choose from. Notice that Pepper can be anywhere inside the name.
I would like the choices change as i type. In other words, if i type BL, i would start to see choices like Black Pepper, Blue Pepper, Roger Blueboy, Green Bloak or any formulaname containing BL.
I presently have the following combo box. if i start typing BL and hit the down arrow, i will see formulas starting with BL. unfortunately, furtherdown, i also see all the other thousands of formulas in the base; meaning I see things that start with C, D, E etc.
I was hoping that i would see every formula containing the letters that i type, As I Type. so if i went further and typed BLAC, the formulas that almost made the cut, disappear from view, leaving me with things having BLAC in name, anywhere in the formulaName. Is this possible? I kind of want to DRILL down. when i finish typing black, i would have all formulaNames that have the word Black somewhere.
here is the combo box after update code:
----------------------------------------------
Private Sub CboFormulaNameFilter_AfterUpdate()
If Me![CboFormulaNameFilter] = "<All>" Then
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
Else
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "[FormulaID] = Forms![frmFormulaMain]![cboFormulaNameFilter]"
End If
End Sub
------------------------------------------------
============================
Here is the row source sql code:
SELECT DISTINCT tblFormulaMain.FormulaName, tblFormulaMain.FormulaID, tblFormulaMain.Description, tblFormulaMain.FormulaStatus
FROM tblFormulaMain
GROUP BY tblFormulaMain.FormulaName, tblFormulaMain.FormulaID, tblFormulaMain.Description, tblFormulaMain.FormulaStatus
ORDER BY tblFormulaMain.FormulaName;
===============================
FormulaID is a text field.

Some background: I am making a form at work for a coworker with cascading combo boxes where she can select a Customer, then Platform Description, then Period, then Year. I used VBA code for these and they all seem to be working, except the Year.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
On Error Resume Next
CustomerCB.SetFocus
[Code].....
I am pulling a table from Excel into Access (SD0039DA_T2), then I have used a delete and append query to populate a 2nd table (SD0039DA_T). I did this 2nd table because the first table was slowing down all of Access because it's such a large file directly linked to Excel.
The only real difference between the two tables is I added another column to SD0039DA_T called BillingYear. This is the Year in the cascading comboboxes/listboxes I am having trouble with. In the append query, I used ...
Code:
BillingYear: Right([SD0039DA_T2]![Billing Date],4)
...appended to BillingYear. I want just the year (YYYY), not the whole billing date from the original table (MM/DD/YYYY).
So I'm thinking the problem is with the YearCB section of the VBA code or something to do with my tables?

I have a bound combo box that has a query as a row source, The query has 3 fields called from tblMasterItems, The ItemID , ItemDesc and ItemSupplier(related to the PK of tblSupplier).
Column Count = 3
Column Width = 0";1";0"
If I do not put a criteria under ItemSupplier, the combo box behaves just fine. The problem happens when I set the criteria under ItemSupplier, the criteria being the supplier ID, the combo box no longer expands and searches as you type, but the items in the combo box have been filtered and are there.
Summary:
When the row source qry ItemSupplier Field does not have a criteria, cbo works just fine.
When the row source qry ItemSupplier has a criteria, cbo no longer expands and searches as you type, but has the filtered data showing if you hit the expand button (that arrow pointing down in the cbo)
I would like to create a combo box (or something similiar if a combo box simply can't do it) where the list of choices in the pulldown shows only the matches of what a user types in. The list of choices are coming from a field in a table. Also I would like the "search" of the user's input to include what is "within" each choice, e.g. if a user type "ber", then valid results should be bertha, october, robert.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've attached a rudimentary example db to give an example of what I'm trying to achieve.
There is a form on the db called Resourcing with several combos.
When I choose a Training_Type from the first combo it automatically filters the Project_Title combo to show only the projects that match that training type. When I choose a Trainer_Name the text box for team automatically completes.
The bit I'm struggling with is Trainer_Name. As you will see from the table Course_Details not every trainer can deliver every Project_Title. So what I want is to display only the trainers associated with the project title chosen rather than displaying the whole team in the Trainer_Name combo.
Someone suggested a junction table but I'm not sure how this would answer my question. I'm thinking some sort of Dlookup but don't know how I would write it when it has to include data from four fields.
I am trying to pass parameters to my qury thru my combo selection. I keep getting this error "Data type mismatch criteria expression", does anyone have an idea why?
WHERE (((fShiftWorked([tblTimeLog].[timeStart])=[Forms]![frmOperatorWorkDone]![cboShift] Or IsNull([Forms]![frmOperatorWorkDone]![cboShift]))=True));
I have spent so much time onthis already and i am sick of it :mad:
Attached is my db. Please help me out here.

Hi,
Within the past 3 weeks I spotted a post that was based around a diary type form, It is distinctive in the way that the guy had created an image using Photoshop or something similar and used it as a backdrop to the form.
It looked pretty neat.
Problem is I cant find it again and I think its just the type of thing I am currently looking for.
Does anyone recall it?

I have a field which is formatted as currency. When a button is clicked, it shows the value of the field. Because it is a currency field, if you enter "10", it is immedatly changed to "£10.00", although when i use txtAmount.Value, it gives me the "10" value. This is especally a problem if pennies are used - if someone enters "15.10", the .Value reterned is "15.1", which makes it seem like "15.01" has been entered. How can I get the currency-type value form the field?Thanks for any help.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a question about an Access form that I am creating. I have a "Due Notes" field, which has Memo data type and I create a form "Estimates" using a text box with the control source is that "Due Notes" field to enter notes when needed.
Although I have the vertical scroll bar for that text box (due to other controls, I can not size the text box too big), does anybody know how to display that text box in form "Estimates" with the data of the last text within the size of the box without scrolling down so I can start typing for the next entry? Do I make sense to you?
Please help and let me know if you know HOW. Thanks so much in advance.
I wanted to create a field lookup with values that I specify, not on the table sheet, but on the form. User can click on a text box or combo box and can select a list of value that I specify, not values that are listed on a table but ones that I type in, in the form.

On one users PC (XP Pro SP3), this has worked from day one. His PC got infected to the point that I had to wipe/rebuild it, and suddenly this code throws a warning and then an error. The warning I could live with (it's the MS Office "some files can contain viruses..." warning). However, after clicking on OK for the warning, I get an error that says "Can't print form image to this type of printer". Doesn't make sense, as this user has the same default printer he had before, plus I tried with a different default printer.
if I navigate to the file location on his PC I can open any of the files, so I don't think it's a permissions issue. The code works fine on my PC and a VM with a different OS, and it still works fine for other users.
I have a form that I am trying to add some yes/no fields to from my table. Whenever I add the controls to the form and attempt to open the form in form view, I receive the dreaded error: "Type mismatch in expression." I can't figure out what is causing this error, or where to look.
Attached is my relationships report. The yes/no fields I am attempting to add are located in tblRelationshipToBICs, tblIndustryClassification, and tblTypeOfBusiness. All of the fields (except pk) in those three tables are yes/no and I need to add them to my form.

I have a table with a field with names set to text data type and i want to change it to number data type but when i do it in design view the data get lost. I want to know if there is a way to convert the data in the field as number type and keep the data in the field.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am mid way through a Access db and have a solid idea what i want from a form. The idea is for a rota display and edit form.
a tab control with 5 tabs (-2 weeks, -1 week, current week, + 1 week, + 2 weeks) and when the user clicks it lists all the employees (Employee Table) with any found rota entrys (Rota Table) populating into a text box type table with employees information blank where no rota information has been entered.
then the user can edit / add shift information from that table and hit save.
the main rota information is inputted by an excel import but this is done once a month and adhoc changes will be needed (holidays absence etc)
the only thing i found like what i want is a continuous form (which ive never used before but been told that wont go in a tab control)
How i would accomplish this (code snippets - doesnt have to be detailed just the fundamental functions so i can add modify to suit the information the sql's i already have its just the form controls.)
I recently made a new version of our database complete with forms, querys etc.. using Access 2010. It looked good and nice, but we encountered an unexpected problem. In all forms that contains memo-type fields quick filter is not working (there is no lists, checkboxes etc..). My users really like quick filters and are understandably irritated. I would understand if this disappearance would affect only memo-type fields, but it affects ALL the fields.
I also know that there are problems with memos in Access 2010. I have tried to make new forms, but every time I add memo fields quick filter stops functioning. I have also tried to change properties, options and what not, but to no use. In older versions of our forms this feature works just fine, but they were made in older version of Access (don't know which since oldest ones are from year 2003).

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?
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.
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).
I'm receiving an error indicating there is a data type mismatch when running a query named qappInventoryTakeOn.
Data is entered into the Inventory Transaction Form. If the transaction type is "Take On", when the update button is clicked the record will be saved to tblInventoryMovements and then qappInventoryTakeOn should run to update tblInventory, but I keep running into the aforementioned error.
When I type the first letter I into the search text area I get the following error
Run-time error '2110'

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
