I have a form that contains two controls for determining the law that applies for specific contracts. When you select the first control, there is a drop down from which you select the country. If you select US, then the second control has a drop down with the US states available for selection. If you select Canada, then the second control lists the provinces of Canada. If you select any other country, the state box is greyed out.
At input time, this works fine, however, I am missing something to get the second control to save the data to the underlying table. I am sure it is a simple code, but I am still a novice at code and can use your help. Here is the code for the first section. I appreciate any help. The second control cboState is currently unbound and I am sure that is part of the problem but am unsure of the solution.
Private Sub cboTermsCountryLaw_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Select Case cboTermsCountryLaw.Value
Case "United States"
CboState = Null
CboState.RowSource = "tblStates"
CboState.Enabled = True
Case "Canada"
CboState.RowSource = "tblProvince"
CboState.Enabled = True
Case Else
CboState = "N/A"
CboState.Enabled = False
End Select
End Sub
I have read the FAQ on cascading combo boxes and have managed to apply the theory to my DB's data input form (frmDataEntry) which is very cool and prevents a lot of errors however in doing so it no longer populates the underlying table (tblProductionDetails).
I am at a loss as to how to correct this as you can see from the example I need the customer and description field to be populated with the correct data rather than the fields I am using to make the cascading combo boxes work.
Probably an easy one that I just can't think my through it. I've been trying to create some (for lack of a better term) cascading fields using the lookup wizard (to eventually be used in a datasheet view/form).
In the main table, the user needs to select a Team (A, B, C), Sub-Team (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, etc), and a Family (A1 contains bolts, screws, and washers).
The first lookup of selecting a Team (A, B or C) was easy. However after this point I'm stuck. If the user chooses A, I only want the "A" related sub-teams to show in the next lookup. Then based on the sub-team chosen, I want the Family list restricted again.
I've worked with Access in the past but haven't touched it for 6 years now so I've forgot a lot of the things i've learnt. Bare with me while I try and explain it as clearly as possible
I'm creating a Database for work which will register all our Commerical Clients, which projects the clients are related to and which students worked on them projects. So I have 3 main Tables:
1.Commercial Clients Client ID Company Name Contact Title
2. Commercial Projects Project ID Nature of Project (Graphic Design, Multimedia, Media) Project Name Project Information Staff Member Responsible Start Date End Date
3. Students/Graduates Student ID Student Name Area of Expertise Contact Details Last Project worked on
Right here we go.....
Each commercial Client can have more then one project to their name. Each Project can have more than one student working on it and each student can be working on more then one project.
My relationships are set up like this:
Commercial Clients <One to Many> Projects Projects <Many to Many>Students
What I have done is create forms with sub forms in to enter to extra data. I dont know if this is the right way to do it but it seems to easiest way. Please show me a way that will work better if you know it.
Anyway... the way the tables are now I can on cascade the information down through the tables.... it will not cascade upwards. I have ticked everything you can possibly tick for all relationships. So when I can enter projects in the Subform on the Commerical Clients Form and I can enter students on the subform in the Projects form. But on the Student form the projects the students at on does not show up in that subform and entering the day only tries duplicating it (which i dont want to do). If I had a form that showed the projects and the related commercial clients in the subform it wont find the commerical clients. So i.e.
It shows fields when the cascaded down like:
Commercial Clients V V Projects V V Students/Graduates
Checked the FAQ on this but doesn't apply to what I need.
Basically, I have a Product Class, and Products that are in the class. My database is for a computer component business, so the clsses are Processors, Mainboard etc.. and the products that fit into that class. The Class and products are listed in the Products table, and I need a way to have it on my subform, so I can choose the product class from one combo box, and then have another combo box to view the products in that class.
Right now I have it :
SELECT DISTINCT Products.[Product Number], Products.[Product Description] FROM Products
and that lets me select ALL the items in my products list, but I also have a Product Class Combo in the form that does nothing yet - So I thought adding : WHERE (((Products.Product Class)=(!FORMS![Orders Subform1]![Product Class])) ORDER BY Products.Product Class
To the end would sort it, but it doesn't and gives me the error : "Syntax Error (Missing Operator) in query expression"
When you open the form, it asks for a tool # (which will be a drop-down box). There will be a command button that will bring up a sub-form. In the subform, there are 2 combo boxes. One picks the group that the tool falls under, and the other has the section of the group for the tool.
When the user picks the section, I need it to filter the questions that pertain to that section (which is listed in a list table), and pull those questions, and populate the master table with them. (i.e., Pulls "where is tool?" from tblQuestions, and puts it in the tblQuestionMaster when section is selected from combobox). :confused:
This is my first attempt with cascading combo boxes (2) and with the help of the forum I've made it work BUT, I feel like an idiot because I'm drawing a complete blank on how to link them back to a "main" data table.
The example I used as a reference was to create them as unbound boxes while using queries to pull for each of the combo boxes. I have 4 tables. One will serve as the main table while 3 others are each feeding one of the combo boxes. I went back and set the main table as the record source and added some of the other fields but those unbound fields have me stumped.
If anyone recognizes an earlier post that clarifies this, please let me know. I've looked through numerous posts but haven't found one yet.
Just like everyone else, any help would be greatly appreciated.
updating my table when I use cascading combo boxes in my form.What is happening is that my table is being populated by the xxxxID column vice from the xxxxName column that is being used from that specific table.
here is my visual basic code that I am using to determine what the subsequent combo box will display.
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private Sub cboPlanktonID_AfterUpdate() ' Set the Family combo box to be limited by the selected Plankton Type Me.cboFamilyID.RowSource = "SELECT tblFamily.FamilyID, tblFamily.FamilyName FROM tblFamily " & _ " WHERE OrderID = " & Nz(Me.cboPlanktonID) & _ " ORDER BY FamilyName"
[code]...
Example of the Combo box Row Source is: SELECT [tblWaterbody].[WaterbodyID], [tblWaterbody].[WaterbodyName] FROM tblWaterbody;
My Control Source is PlanktonAnalysis.WaterbodyName
When I fill in the form with the data, The Waterbody name is visable for selection (example: I see "Lake Lillinonah" in the cascading combo box, But when I save the record in the PlanktonAnalysis Table I get a number in the WaterbodyName column vice the name of the waterbody
I am trying to use a combo box to control which table a data entry form will write data to. I want to create a form that has a combo box to select from a top level table that I will call "Stores". Once a "Store" is selected from the drop down, the next field on the form will be a data entry field. The data entered in that field will be written to the table selected by the preceding combo box.
So, basically I would have say Wal-Mart, Macy's, Sears, K-Mart and etc, listed in my "Stores" table. Once I select one of the stores from the drop down, I would then enter a "department" name in the data entry field and based on which store I selected from the previous combo box, the data would be written to that stores department table (which each store will have its own department table), e.g., WalMartDepts, MacyDepts, SearsDepts, etc...
I have a form with two cascading comboboxes where the first selection is the alphabet and the second selection is a person's name. (the alphabet is a coding system but not assigned based on a person's name) I used one table based on example 2 of this website: fontstuff. com/access/acctut10.htm
What I want to do is add columns to the table such as organization, purpose, etc. then have them in the form as textboxes that update as soon as the second combo box is selected. Is this possible with just one table or do I need to go a different route?
I'm jumping to the forms development and going to try what I need via queries and SQL. I'm trying to do a series of cascading combo boxes which have worked out fine, right till I hit the first junction table.
I will include the VBA code below as well as a screenshot but here's how it goes.
REGION cascades down to COUNTRY cascades down to PORT and then to CARRIER.
This is for a shipping program.
When it gets to PORT and are trying to cascade to the various CARRIER's thats where it hits a junction table of PORT_CARRIER.
Here is REGION to COUNTRY:
Me.cboCountry.RowSource = "SELECT COUNTRY.CNTRY_ID, COUNTRY.COUNTRY FROM COUNTRY " & _ " WHERE REG_ID = " & Nz(Me.cboRegion) & _ " ORDER BY COUNTRY" Me.cboCountry = Null
COUNTRY to PORT :
Me.cboPort.RowSource = "SELECT PORT.PORT_ID, PORT.PORT FROM PORT " & _ " WHERE CNTRY_ID = " & Nz(Me.cboCountry) & _ " ORDER BY PORT" Me.cboPort = Null
PORT to CARRIER:
Me.cboCarrier.RowSource = "SELECT PORT_CARR.PORT_ID, PORT_CARR.CARR_ID FROM PORT_CARR " &_ " WHERE PORT_ID = " & Nz(Me.cboPort) & _ " ORDER BY CARR_ID" Me.cboCarrier = Null
PORT to CARRIER is where the problem is.
It populates the combo box, but with the ID numbers instead of actual CARRIER names.
(the Junction table are two PK fields and are lookups to PORT in PORT table and CARRIER in CARRIER table.)
Is there a magic spell for cascading combo boxes when you hit a junction table?
I need a table structure that will allow me to have a repair log data entry form with 3 cascading combo boxes on the repair log data entry form. There can be many repairs for a specific job but most of the time there will be one repair per job and 1% of the time two or more repairs for a specific job.
I am pulling a report based on a query that will show the repaired location, facility type, repaired item, repaired component on that item and other details related to the repair.I uploaded an empty database with the structure.
Cascade levels
I. Facility Type II. Item by [I] III. Component by [II]
I'm currently using Access 2010 and I'm working on a database project. My question is related to table relationships. Within that project I do have a table that is related to other three tables where that table is the parent. The problem here is that once that table is updated or have a new value it never cascades it down to the other tables.
1- How to have multi relationship to the same field on the same table from different tables? 2- how to cascade the updates to the related fields? 3- Is there any way to force the data update to other tables?
I created a form and in form I have created a combo box, and I can make as many selection I want through multiple box properties; however, its not populating in the table. Now if I keep select non in multiple menu I can input the value in table through that form. How can I make this field populated with more than one value.
I have an expression in a field on a report. I would like that calculation to populate my table. Do I ad something to the expression in that field that would tell it to take the sum of the field and place it in the table? What would the expression look like?
The report is created from the results of a data entry form.
Currently, I have a form with a combobox that lists all of the names of the tables inside my database. Depending on the table selected in the first combobox, I would like to have another combobox which allows the user to choose from the field names inside that table.
Hi, Im trying to, upon the click of a forms button, search the records in one table for all records matching a certain number. I then want to update another table with all these records...but am stuck in the coding. This is what i have so far...
Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblAllInfo", dbOpenDynaset)
With rs .MoveFirst Do Until .EOF If .Fields(1).Value Is 1 Then
event_num = .Fields(1).Value Sport = .Fields(2).Value team = .Fields(3).Value Date = .Fields(4).Value Time = .Fields(5).Value
rs.Update
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblCurrentEvent", dbOpenDynaset) rs.AddNew rs![Event_No] = event_num rs![Sport] = sport rs![Team_Player] = team rs![Date] = Date rs![Time] = Time DoCmd.OpenForm "frmInfo" 'whose record source is tblCurrentEvent
But I really need to be updating the latter table within the loop but dont know how to do that without resetting the loop pointer?? Or would it be better to create a form for tblAllInfo. Any help would be appreciated! Tania smile
I need a table that has all the year dates in a field (e.g. from 01 Jan 2008 to 31 Dec 2008) This means some 365 records! I hardly can type them all Wanted to know how to populate this table automatically.
I have search the forum but dont seem to be able to find the solution i am looking for. I am hoping its because it has a simple solution .......
I have a database which records grant applications for the current year. What i also have is a table which stores all the grant applications from last year and i have a search form which the user can search to see if the applicant applied last year. What i want the user to be able to do is if the applicant did apply last year - to be able to double click on the particular applicant on the search form and populate the fields in the new applicant table, show on the new applicant form, and delete the applicant from last years table. This would save the user time because they would not have to retype name, address etc. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I seem to have a mental blank with this one.
I’m looking for a formula that will take the last two digits of a “Code”, in Query, and search for the “Range”, in a Table. (Sometimes the “Range” may only have one code in it.) The value returned should of another column. (“Desc”.)
The formula should look at “Code: 123456”, in the Query, take the last to digits in the code “56” and find it in the “Range”, in the Table, returning a value of Supplies.
I have been trying to modify a sample database to suit what I want to do but I am getting stuck on the very first part cascading combo boxes i want to open a form and add multiple items to a table - first i want to select, from a combo box a department - then select a supplier from all the suppliers/manufacturers related to that department then select a stock item based on the description from all the items available from that supplier
I have attached the database I am using to modify and my database.
Basically I have a form, and inside that form there is the "Total Cost" field which is a field in the "tbl_Transactions" table; to display some values from a subform inside of the "Total Cost" field i changed the control source of the "Total Cost" text box to the fowllowing expression:
But obviously because of the fact that the control source has been changed these values brought up by the expression are not put into the table so the "Total Cost" column in the transactions table (tbl_Transactions) is just blank.
Is there any way I can make it so that the values drawn up by the expression will also be entered into the " Total Cost" field in the transactions table as well as being displayed on the form?
I have a form with various list boxes that display options based on a query. When options are selected the text relating to them is populated in a seperate text box at the side.
The problem im having is when I select options from the list box I want it to store the selected options in the table that holds each record when the form has been filled out and submitted. At the minute it populates everything into the table apart from the options selected from the list boxes.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have got the control souurce of the list boxes set to the correct field in the table.
it's record source is a table called "tblPatientDemo" that are populated based on the information place in the above text boxes
Here is my problem
I have a subform called "frmPatientLanguageSub"
Source Object......... frmPatientLanguge link Child Fields..... PatientID link Child Fields..... PatientID
When list box Multi Select is set to "Simple" and I add a new patient and click on multiple selections in the list box it does not populate the "tblPatientLanguge"
But if I change the Multi Select is set to "None" it populates the "tblPatientLanguge" for that patient
Any Ideas why access populates the "tblPatientLanguge" if I set the Multi Select property to "None" but not for "Simple"? If so How do I make access poplulate when the table when muliple selections are selected in the list box?
I hope you can help - I have two simple problems and one slightly more complicated problem (bearing in mind I'm quite an Access Novice!)
Problem 1. I have set up a simple form for a Timehsheet where the user can select a project and then enter hours worked in 7 text boxes for Mon-Sun. Then I have create a Total Text box at the end of the row. I need the Total box to Sum up the hours from the 7 boxes dynamically. How does one do this?
Problem 2. How do I then ensure this calculated field populated the field hoursID in tblHours? (I am able to do this with a normal field, but with a calculated field, doesn't the formula go into the Controlsource field??)
Problem 3. I plan to put this form as a sub-form into a main form 4-5 times so that a user can select 4-5 projects to enter hours against. I would like to have a SUBMIT button on the main form, so that all the calculated hours and selected projects populate the respective tables ONLY after this button is pressed.
I am trying to populate fields from one table into another field in a linked table. Specifically, I have a giving table and a persons table. I have the giving table have the persons primary ID field in the giving table. I cannot seem to automatically link them if I am adding a "gift" record. The gift is a dollar amount given by that person. I have a unique primary key for each financial contribution which is supposed to be tied to a person's primary key and last name in my "person" table. Am I missing something in this design?
