I am trying to make a form that will allow me to make several selections and run a report. I want to be able to select from a list of Grade Levels, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. After I have picked my grade level or selected more then 1 grade level I want to be able to choose from a drop down list of school district. After I have chosen my grade level and my school district I want to run my report. How do I do that?

I'm quite new to creating a database. On my navigation form, I have a dropdown list/combo box that contains up to 16 possible selections. The user should be able to select more than one item, but can't, when using the navigation form. In the man form that this 'writes to' the selections can be made, with checkboxes in front of each item in the list; but not in the navigations sub-form. the Navigation sub-form only shows the list in a column. I don't see any properties that explicitly allow more than one suggestion or restrict to only one, so am I using the correct control?
I am a bit of a beginner to Access 2003, and I would appreciate any help you can give me? :)
I have a drop down box on a form in Access 2003 with several options when an option is selected from the first drop down I would like a sub catagory of the selected drop down option to appear in the second drop down menu.
For example:
First drop down Hair, Clothes,
If you select Hair it then give the products relating to hair which need to be choosen in the second drop down menu.
I would like to put a query into my form so that I can look up a part number, order number, or both, and then open the form for editing. I set up the queries but can't get them into the form. How would I go about doing this? Thanks for helping out

What I am trying to do is create a form with 2 drop down boxes (A,B,C,D) &1,2,3,4...) what I want to do is make it so if you select option A in the first box only 1,2&3 are available in the second box but if you select option B 3,4&5 will be the only options available.
Another totally newbie question here but I'm still trying to figure a few things out. Leave it to me to dive head-first into something without first doing research.
In my database I have a main form where I enter records for customers. Now, I also have a second form that is used to search for records. In this second form I want to be able to first filter the record search with a drop down menu that searches by items such as address, customer name, or city, etc. That way if the person doing the search doesn't know the name of the person they can search by address or vica versa. Once the user selects the search type they enter the name, or address, or whatever they're basing their search on and then click on a "Search" button. I have this button working so that it opens a report with a table which shows all the records pertaining to that search.
My first question is how can I get this to work properly because right now I keep getting the results of past searches, in fact I think it gives me all the records rather than the ones I want.
Once I figure this out, with your help, I'll have another question for you. hehe
Id like to create a search field on a form, with a similar function to the standard Access 'find and replace' function. Only id like it to be alot more simple than the Access find and replace form.What i have is a Asset DB for the IT assets in the company i work for. We have a lot of phones, printers, computers and about 120 Laptops. The laptops are quite often reconfigured and given to new users, so the laptop details dont change but the user and software config does. I need to keep track of what software is installed where, for licensing reasons.
What i have is a simple form with the laptop name, serial number, operating system, software, location etc etc. What i would like to be able to do is, type a laptop name into a Txt field, hit a search button, then have the fields of the form populated with the laptops current config and then be able to edit the details from inside the form. ive tried using a combo box but i have more than 20 fields that need filling, so anybody whos used the 'me.txtboxname.value = me.combobox.column (1)' may know that you can only use 20 columns.
The default Access 'Find and Replace' system works fine but i dont want users to have to use it. I also dont want them to have to navigate through records using record selectors.
Hello everyone. I hope you are well. I am new to this forum and need some help with access.
I have a database which records an organisations addresses. There is the main address, where the activity takes place, and then there is the postal address, which is often different. What I want to be able to do is to select all the organisations in one town (e.g. Town1), but send information in the post to their postal address (Town2).
Is this something that can easily be done? I hope somebody can help me (especially with some user friendly terms).
I'm a new user of Access and I'm required to input a survey into access. The data collected is being analyzed afterwards and therefore there cannot be any alpha content in the original table so I assigned multiple choice options numbers to correspond to the answers. In form view however I need the drop down boxes to spell out the answers, not just the numbers so the interviewer can read them out, I've seen this done on other similar surveys..I also tried going into form view and editing the drop down choices but that changes the table values.
I am running a query which uppends the record to one table from another table. My requirement is that, it should check one field of the destination table table before inserting the record. If that field matches, it should run Update query or else it should run Insert Query. How Can I do that?

Hi, I would like to have a dialog box open when the user clicks on a command box so that they can choose the file name and the directory where the exported excel spreadsheet would be saved. Does anyone have any ideas? Btw, my code to save an excel automatically is below and I would like to use code.
I have a database with information on carriers, lanes, and prices. I need to choose the cheapest 3 carriers for each lane. The lanes are either 3-digit zip code to 3-digit zip code or state to state (410-300 or CA-GA, etc.) So for each of these lanes, I need to find the 3 cheapest carriers all in one query. So the resulting table should look like:
ok this is weird post but im wonderin how to go about it easily cause i can think of a few ways, dunno if they will work of not, so im asking for ur opinion. I need to find out possible cominations for a salary cap football league based on dollar amounts for the players and points based on last years results, yet it cant go past $100.00...so one possible choice is (QB Tom Brady $22.56 183.50 points). its 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE 1 Kicker, 1 DEF team and i have to do all 9 for it to count...so would i have to set up 6 columns, one for each position and have a way of picking 1 of A 2 of B 3 of C 1 of D 1 of E 1 of F for 1 qb, 2 Rb, etc? and have it so sum of values is < $100 and it also must add the points so i can see the best possible combination/most points i can get for $100.00...i know its last years points and this year will be diff but I am just comparing...all i need is an outline i dont need u guys to do it for me i have some experience with access...thanks for anyone who can help
I've run into a little problem while working on a electronics component database:
My plan was to use one specific table for each kind of components, i.e. resistors, capacitors, transistors etc as the specific data of each type is quite different from the other types (resistance/capacitance etc). I also thought I'd use a main form with a drop box allowing the user to choose which component to look for and then a component type specific subform to let the user make a more detailed search.
The thing is that I'm not quite sure how to call different subforms based on the drop box selection (I guess I need a subform for each type of component)? Or can I call a table with each component's specific data types and generate a subform based on this table? (I'd prefer the latter...)
To find a specific resistor you might want to specify the resistance, the type of resistive material, size and tolerance whereas an integrated circuit requires information on type of circuit, package, size etc.
All similar questions I've found relates to the use of a single, main, table only, I can't really see how to do that here...
I would like to have Access launch an Outlook email with a specific font (Arial). How could that be accomplished?
Here's my code:
Private Sub cmdEmailAO_Click() On Error Resume Next Dim OApp As Object, OMail As Object, signature As String, Email As String, FirstName As String Set OApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set OMail = OApp.CreateItem(0)
I have a form with a command button that runs a report. I have been asked to modify things and if the data in the text box is "A", run report "A". If the data is "B", run report "B" and so on.
Is it possible that two mgsbox will Show up, where the user can put in the timeperiod.
The time period would be the starting day of the contract.
It's called inception_date

I have a form for user to select multiple items from a combo box, and 18 unbound text boxes , each time user selects an item in combo and hits "add" the value appears in txt box by order, I mean select1 then "add" filling txtbox1, select2 then "add" filling txtbox2 ... and so on till we reach txtbox18, then msg box appears that he filled the whole 18 boxe. I have already done this before for one txtbox which is a very simple operation, but i cannot figure out how to do it with multiple txtboxes.
