Well hello everyone. I'm building some queries that need to have a specific Top N amount read from a value in a table (or form). Can someone please tell me how to do that without using the query Top N drop-down? I have this built into a VBA module, so it's possible I can change the Top N from there. Thanks!
View RepliesIn my database I have 2 tables that contains values I would like to add if a check box is marked.
Table 1 columns: JobID;JobNumber; Product; Qty.
Table 2 columns: COrderID, JobNumber, QtyChanged, Accepted(Accepted has the check box).Also, there are multiple records for each job number based on how many change orders will be.
I would like to change the value of Qty on Table1 with the values of QtyChanged from Table2 only if the checkbox is marked.
I have a main form with a control that can take one of three values. And I would like to add a subform that work as follows.
Selecting each value should change what the subform displays like this.
Control Subform
A Select * from TableA where Key = "A"
B Select * from TableB where Key = "B"
C Disable subform somehow because it doesn't apply
Could someone please provide some advice on how I could do this.
Thanks

What I'm trying to do is make it so that a certain area of my Detail area in my report changes colors based on whether or not a field name for each record is set to "Yes". The effect I wanted was produced easily enough by creating a Rectangle, coloring it Red, and setting it to not visible.
Putting RedBox.Visible = True in the Report On Load procedure works just fine. The problem I am having is attaching a condition to it.
Code:
If Me.FormatBox.Value = "Yes" Then
RedBox.Visible = True
End If
This compiles ok, but doesnt do anything to the actual report. Will it not work because the report has x amount of FormatBox's because it gets replicated for each record that is displayed? I should also note that I tried using a DL Lookup within my If statement and that didnt work either. That just colors all the boxes red and ignores the check.
Code:
Dim TestVar As String
TestVar = DLookup("Priority", "Table_Lancaster_Dispatch", "Priority = 'Yes'")
If TestVar = "Yes" Then
RedBox.Visible = True
End If
I am trying to come up with a simple way for users to query the database and pull back entries relating to the (potentially vague) data they input.
I know how to run a query based upon data input in a form ("=[Forms]![FormName]![FieldName]"), and I know I can do this several times in one query.
However, if one of the fields is blank, the query doesn't return anything.
Is there a way to use only one query, but still allow the user to leave search criteria blank? The only thing I can think of is by using a very convoluted VB script and creating a query for each possible combination of criteria.
It's not an error-checking issue, either, as entering info into all of the fields isn't required.
For reference, the searchable fields are:
Agent Name, Beginning Date, Ending Date (intended for a date range), Request Type, and District Name.
A user could then search for any requests made by an Agent; any requests by an agent within a date range; any requests made by anyone in a date range; ad nauseum.
There are quite a few combinations, there, and I'd rather not create a query for each one (or code the VB conditionals to choose the right one).
I hope I'm clear in what I'm trying to accomplish :o
Thanks in advance!
Greetings! This forum has been most helpful to a rusty Access user.
I'm creating a student group score entry form, having problems with creating the form I want. Say for example we have the following:
1. Three groups: A,B, and C.
2. Group A has 5 students, Group B has 3, and Group C has 20.
I want a form where I can select group A, and a list of the students will populate and enable me to enter scores for all of them on the same page. This will save time not having to re-enter the information for so many students. If anyone has a clue of what I'm talking about or is willing to lend me aid, I would appreciate it.
Cheers.
I have a Form with some combo box's in header and a TabControl with 5 tabs in Body.
In each Tab I have a subform. All is working as should.. each form is requerying perfectly based on user combo choices.
What I would now like to do is swap one subform in one tab for another subform, depending on what choice is made in combo box.
That is...
Combo choice 1 ... requires Subform's 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 in Tab's 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 ..
Combo choice 2 though... requires Subforms's 1, 2, 6, 7, & 8 in same Tabs. .. Tab's are umbrella's for multitude of subform possibilities.
I really need some guidence here. Thanks.
I'm getting seriously frustrated with Access now so I hope some of you can help me out.
I have made an access application to enter various types of products (eg paint, tools, glue etc).
The organization I have built this for has asked me to create a report which can be used as
a catalogue of all their products.
They want this report to keep different categories of products in different sections. So say the paints
will go into a section with an orange background and the tools have a blue background. I thought
I could just let it print a number of reports (one for each type of product) however this will give
problems with the page numbering and indexes etc.
Anyone have any ideas how I can let the lay-out (mainly colors) change if a new category kicks in and also
force this category to start on a new page? Any help is very much appreciated!
Cheers Thomas
Newbie here. Just trying to make a characteristic (e.g., color) of a button change based upon contents of a form field. Can anyone please adivise. All help is greatly appreciated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a combobox, textbox, a button and a listbox.
Currently the button checks if the textbox is empty and if it is, it runs a SQL query to select data using the combobox value in the where clause, else it selects data using the textbox value in the where clause
I need to be able to type or select values in both controls and use those values in the SQL query as a where.
So how would I go about changing the width of a combo box to the length of the value in vba?

My users think it is too much to enter am or pm. What they want is the system to calculate the am pm based on the time entered.
If the time entered is between 8:00 to 11:59, the system should save it as 11:59 am and if the time entered is between 12:00 to 7.00, the system should save it as 7.00 pm.

In MsAccess 2007,I want each row color to change based on a column value in the report.
For example: Select Name,Age,Salary from table 1 -creates 3 rows.
Name Age Salary
A 15 1000
B 25 2000
c 35 3000
if Salary column is less than 1001,row should be in red- Row 1
if Salary column is less than 2001,row should be in green -Row2
if salary is less than 3001, row should be orange-Row3 .

I have a database with 200 clients. If a user pulls up a record and the customer's insurance has expired, is it possible to change the background color of the form so that this automatically alerts the user that this customer needs to be contacted and the record needs to be updated?

Hi
I am running Access 97 and I was wondering if it was possible to change the colour(background or text) of a single record based on an attribute
I was hoping that my subform, viewing all of the records (datasheet) would look like this based on Task Des column
eg Condition = red, Awaiting = Blue
(Below is ment to look like an access datasheet view)
Property No | Task Des | MCU/ROL
PN1234/DA1 | Condtion | MCU
PN1235/DA2 | Condtion | ROL
PN1994/DA1 | Awaiting | MCU
Thanks heaps for your help
I have a form where customer data is entered. one field serves as a criteria for a query. If, for example, A is selected in the form the query uses the criteria "A" in the X field f query. However, if B is selected in the form, the query uses the criteria "B" in Y field of query.
I can easily do this by setting up two queries and having criteria A run in X field of query and similarly for B. However, it seems as if there should be a way for me to have one query and simply use the criteria in a different field.So, is there VBA that will update a given query's SQL to use one criteria in one case and another critiera in another case?
So I have a combobox that pulls values from a table. I am being requested to do an update to the database which means that I have to filter some values on that combobox based on a field on a previous form.For example:The main form is called "frmcontacts" and has a table field called "txttypeofcustomer" which can have two values: "customer" or "dealer".
The form that contains the combobox is called "frmnewissue" the combobox is called "cmbissuetype". "frmNewIssue" is opened through a button on "frmContacts". This combobox pulls the values from a table "tblissuetype". The values in that combobox are then: "Repair" "Return" "Question" "Replace".
If the value on txtTypeofCustomer is "Dealer" then all the values for the combobox remain visible. If the value of txtTypeOfCustomer is "Customer" then "Replace" cannot be visible or has to be greyed out.
I need a query's field to change to what is selected in a combo box.
Example,
I select product 1 in the combo box on a continuous form, after the update there is a requery. The form now displays the data from product 1.
I have tried putting [forms]![form1]![combo1] into the field box of the query. But this only makes the form display "product 1" in every row, it does not take any data from the table.
Is there a way of using a text field value as the heading for query column?
ie change...
Column header: FieldInATable
to
[form1].[field2]: FieldInATable?
I have been looking some information on changing image based on form combo box selection on form.

I have employees table where all images location is saved in text field and i have a combo box on form which is employee id.
Tables relationship
Employees_table [PK] to Contracts_table [FK] via field name {emp_ID}
Fields Name

Text field is located in employees_table called [Emp_Pic] for images location.
I have two combo boxes in the form header and command buttons in the form detail. The combos allow the user to select either a customer or a prospect, then the command buttons open forms that only show records pertaining to the customer or prospect selected. Combos are "4Custcbo" and "4Proscbo".
1.How do I change which command buttons are available depending on whether the user has selected a customer or a prospect? Do I use two different subforms or is there a better way?
2.How do I hide the other combo box once the user has selected either a customer or a prospect?
