I'm trying to Identify a particular entry in my table for editing via combo boxes. The same serial number will come in multiple times but a different job number each time it comes in. To identify a record for editing I need the user to identify the serial number in combo1 and then the job # in combo2 (cascaded combo boxes).
The issue I'm running into is that combo1 has dozens of serial number duplicates (combo2 is acting as it should). When I change some settings around I'm able to get combo1 to eliminate duplicates but now combo2 only shows 1 job # when there should be dozens for that serial #. I need all like serial numbers to show their job # in combo2 and I have not had any luck surfing around the net/forums/experimenting.
I'm pretty sure I have to use a Junction Table but I haven't messed with that and I'm not 100% sure that's the best/only way to do it.
Hello,
I followed the Microsoft guide detailing how to set up two cascading combo boxes. I would like to add a third box to the cascade. I have tried making some assumptions based on the code in the example but I can't get it to work.
I have three queries set up; qryBusiness, qryBusinessUnit and qryLocation.
I am using one form; frmToolInfo.
I have three combo set up; cboBusiness, cboBusinessUnit and cboLocation.
I amended my code to the following:
Private Sub cboBusiness_AfterUpdate ()
Me!cboBusinessUnit.Requery
Me!cboBusinessUnit.SetFocus
End Sub
Private Sub cboBusinessUnit_AfterUpdate ()
Me!cboLocation.Requery
Me!cboLocation.SetFocus
End Sub
Private Sub Form Current ()
Me!cboBusinessUnit.Requery
Me!cboLocation.Requery
End Sub
I want to cascade down from Business, to Business Unit to Location.
Can anyone advise me as to what I've done wrong here.
Thanks.
Hello,
I have a question on cascade combos.
I have a form named Welcome and would like to add two cascade combo boxes.
The first combo, named cbolist get's its data from a table named QUERIES which has three fields:
ID
QUERYNAME
QUERYDESCRIPTION
cbolist displays the records contained in the QUERYDESCRIPTION field which are basically the name of other tables of my database with different records (obviously).
I would like that after selecting a record in the cbolist, the second combo, which I will call cboresult, will populate with all the records of that specific table selected in the cbolist.
Any help with the correct code?
Thanks.
I need directions on Cascade Combo Box, So when I select:
CD Group
Displays only the CD's in that Group that are related to that Name
So what fields would I have to set up for CD Group and CD NAme with that Table.
Someone emailed me an article on Cascade combo boxes what fields so I need for the coding.......
I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.
In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".
Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:
Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
View 6 Replies View Relatedthere is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change()
Me.Requery
Me.cboCourseName.Requery
Me.Check178.Requery

What would the code be for a button which clears the contents of a text box or a combo box on a form?

Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!
I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D
Hi everyone,
I have been making progress with customizing a
MS Access program, but one major problem is that
I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box
that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I
find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of
values from only the parameter that is primary key.
More specifically, the program is set up as follows:
I have two tables in this program: One that is called
"invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of
these tables, there is one common parameter, which
is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key,
and I used the "relationships" function to tie this
parameter to itself between the two tables.
I was successful in setting up a list-box for the
"Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box
for another parameter that is supposed to display
a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list
of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials.
In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to
take so that the database stores a list of people's initials.
Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each
record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key.
How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of
different people's initials, or in other words how can I get
all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of
initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried
different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the
Design mode of Tables, including Display Control,
Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column,
but the outcome is that the only parameter that I
get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which
is Item Number.
I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how
to correct this.
On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and
on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a
specific date range so that I can limit each report to a
specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well.
Thanks.
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
I want to use Cascade Delete on a main table that has relationships with a few tables. The type of these relationships are weak and the delete will work perfectly I think. But, I am concerned about how I can only delete the FK from one of the tables because it contains a non-prime FK.
For example: Customer buys House. So Customer PK is in House as FK.
If I delete customer, I don't want house deleted. Is there anyway that is native to access in how I can only delete the FK from tblHouse without deleting the house record.
Hi, all... :)
I need to create cascade relationship on fly.
I've succeeded to create the relationship by:
ALTER TABLE tName ADD CONSTRAINT fk_id FOREIGN KEY(ID) REFERENCES tPrimary(ID)
and even succeeded to check the referential integrity by:
ALTER TABLE tName ADD CONSTRAINT fk_id FOREIGN KEY(ID) REFERENCES tPrimary(ID) CASCADE
The real problem comes when i am trying to enforce the cascades. I do not find any expression doing it.
the standarts of sql: on update cascade
or
of sql server: on update cascade go
just don't work in access :(
Thankful ahead
Hi
I have a combo box and its row source is a query that selects distinct values from a column in a table
However i would also like the user to be able to select nothing/null value from the combo box. How do i do this.
Thanks
What is a combo box and how do I make one?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a query to simply bring up various parameters asking questions which then give back the results that are correct! i am wondering if it is possible so that when the parameter boxes display on the screen, for you to be able to select the answer from a combo box list (within the parameter box) instead of typing them in???
Cheers
hi
I have a cascading combo box on a form where by you can first select a supplier of a part and then a part from that supplier. (Attached is a pic of my structure). Next I want to be able to create a record of a "complaint report" for that part in the combo box... (see structure). Any ideas?
Many thanks,

I have read the cascading combo box solution and would like to know if this would help me with my specific solution.
I have a subform that is used to populate a table which is later used to cost each row by linking to a costing table (see later).
3 off the columns in this form have been set up as combo boxes e.g.
(1)Supplier/(2)Product type/(3)Product 2 is dependant on 1 and 3 is dependant on 1 & 2
These combo boxes currently refer to my costing table to ensure that the user can only enter a combination that is in this table so that when I compare the data entered in my subform table these combinations will be present in the costing table.
I get the 2nd combo box to show only the product types available for the selected supplier by afterupdate me![Product type]requery on the 1st combo box
The 3rd combo box is dependant on both 1 & 2 so I have applied afterupdate me![product]requery which has filters in the query as follows
Forms![subform]![Supplier]
Forms![subform]![Product type]
This seems to work ok when entering data initially into the form which places it directly into my table
The problem I have is when someone later goes into a record and changes combo box 1 and the data in combo 2 & 3 may now not be an option so how can I force them to go and re-visit these filed before exiting the form?
The second problem is if they go to the next record in the form and select the 3rd combo box to edit the field the qry does not show the correct option and shows the ones for the previous row?
Any suggestions please..
I have a Order form that i would like to use combo boxes when adding details records to the order. For example, my list of products is very long, each product belongs to a Series(category) I would like to create two combo boxes when placing an order. First one to select series, then another one to select product. I would like the product combo box to show only those products related to the series. Seems like a simple task but i am having so much trouble. I tried looking at the Northwind db because it has categories and products but in their order form their combo box just list products and there is no example like the one i want to do. Can anyone help?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have attached a small version of my database/form. I am trying to display only those records in a subform based on the values selected from two combo boxes. So when the user selects a client from the 1st combo box, the 2nd combo box is populated with the tests that pertain to the client selected. When the user selects a test from the 2nd combo box, I want the records to update with only those records that have the test for that client. So if there is no record for that test, then no records should be displayed (even though they may have records for another test - not sure if that made sense...).
My whole purpose is to allow the user to select a test only once and only have to select the level list based on however many levels are available for that test (I want it to be simple for the user).
Example: Open up my form, select Alabama from the clients list.
The subform has all of the tests for the client and the levels. Select Physics from the tests list. I now want the subform to display only the records were Test=Physics.
Once I get that working, I will make ClientID and Test in the subform not visible (only the Level drop down list will be displayed). So when a user selects a level from the list, the table needs to get updated with all of the information (clientID, testID, levelID).
Have any suggestions? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
