I have a multiSelect Listbox that has email recipients. I have a command button with Me.emaillist = Null, and after I click the command button the Listbox is still highlighted in black. What VBA command do I create to completely clear the multiSelect Listbox, including the highlighted selection?

I have a table, "people" which has all the main data stored. I have another table, "organizations" which I'd like to be able to use on a form to select which organizations people belong to. I created a button on my main form which opens another form on which a listbox with all the organizations shows. What I'd like to do is from the main form, click a button that brings up a new form. On the new form, I can select the affiliations. Then, when I close that form, a box on the main form shows what i've just selected. I got this to work with the listbox, but when I changed it to multi-select it stopped working. Help!! Thanks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to select multiple items from a listbox, click a button, and then print the data related to that item selected using a report.
In the report to print the data, I have added the criteria
[Forms]![Print Labels]![List2]
This is the name of the listbox. However, this doesn't print the items selected in the list box.
Do I have to do this through VBA, or can I accomplish this through a query in the report?
Thanks!
I was wondering whether it is possible to select multiple values in a list box on a form that can be stored in a table.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a database where a single "Classification" field is populated by selections made in a multiselect listbox and I can't figure out how to do this. Any help people can provide?
Table 1:
Name_ID <pk>
Name
Classification
Table 2:
Classification_ID <pk>
Classification
What I want to happen is click on a button next to the Classification field (text) and a popup form with a multi-select list loads (this part is easy, of course). The user can select as many classifications as they want, click the ok button and each item selected then goes back to the first form and populate in the Classification field (seperated by commas or semi-colons).
This possible?
Hi,
I have adapted code from ghudson's example on
'http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52736
I have a subform called frmsJobPartsUsed, which contains a multiselect list box where the user can select multiply parts used for one job and click a save button, which saves the parts to rows on the same forms (see picture). The user then enters the number used and that number is taken away from the UnitsInStock.
This form is made up of the following two tables;
TblStore
PartNo
PartName
UnitsInStock
ReOrderLevel
Discountinued
Remark
tblPartsUsed
PartUsedID
JobDetailsID
PartNo
PartUsedNum
NumberUsed
The multiselect listbox is made form tblStore, PartNo, PartName and Discontinued = 0
This all works fine so far.
What is need to do is before the parts selected are saved to the table I want to run some code to check
If a part’s UnitsInStock is equal to 0 then Message box saying no stock left need to reorder. It won’t save it to the table.
Or else
If UnitsInStock is greater than 0 but less than or equal to ReOrderLevel
Message box saying Stock running low need to reorder asap.
I have this kind of working but it doesn’t seem to be finding the correct UnitsInStock for the part selected.
Here is the code;

OK - I have seen the other posts where individuals are trying to select multiple items from a list box and have a field populate with the selections. I have not seen a clear explanation defining if this is possible.
Essentially, I want to be able to query on the field and search for multiple selections within that field. Any recommendations as to how this can be achieved?
My next question, is if the selections in a multiple instance field are separated by a comma or some other character what is the best method to query for multile responses. For example, if the following data is in the field 1,2,3 and I want to query on 1 or 2?

Hi, i was wondering if it's possible in a listbox with the multiselect option set to extended simply click on a field and open a form with the data of this field..
example:
i've a listbox of my customers, (only first and last name)..i click on one of this and a new form with all the details'll open, so i can see and modify stuff...
with the multiselect set to none this works..but with the extended??
(btw..i wanna just click on one filed, but i need the extended multiselection on for other options..)
thx in advance
Is it possible to have a multiselect listbox on a subform with a datasheet view or do I need a combobox in this situation?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI created a form with a ListBox and a Command Button. The users selects the values in the listbox and then click the button to create word documents.

I would like to use a listbox set to multiselect to add records to a junction table. I've been using code to accomplish this with checkboxes (love how it looks and works) but after moving my tables to Office 365 as the backend, linkedto a local frontend, sql does not like this particular set up, and I do not have the time or knowledge to sort out why. So what I need is a step by step to look at the many, in this case possible roles a contact can have, and choose one or more, which then creates a record in the junction table with the contact id and role id.
I would prefer to not use a combobox on a continuous form because every time a user goes to select roles he would have to scroll through all the choices for each separate role.
I've got a form with a multiselect listbox (extended) that holds a very long list of items (~90,000):
1 | Apple
2 | Orange
3 | Banana
...............
35313| Corn cob
...............
The user can select multiple items (non-sequential) on the listbox, say items 1 and 35313. I'd like the listbox to scroll (meaning display) to the currrently selected item, so that the user can see it while being processed.
I've seen stuff about property ListIndex, which does exactly that, but it's only useful when you have just ONE item selected (in a multiselect listbox apparently it deselects the rest of the items, so no point in using it, I guess, unless there's more to it!!).
So the key here is how to do the scrolling/display.
The code to loop through the listbox and process each selected item is attached:
Code:
Dim vItem As Variant
Dim Content as String
For Each vItem In Me.lst.ItemsSelected
'scroll to selected item ???
'processing of the selected item
Content = Me.lst.Column(1, vItem) 'copy the content to do sth with it
Me.lst.Selected(vItem) = False 'unselect the current item
Next vItem 'go to next selected item
how to scroll to the currently selected item? Mind that I need to go through the list of selected items to process them for further use (i.e, I need them selected).
I'm using access 2003, and for some stupid reason they decided to remove the "clear" method from listboxes... In previous access version I could clear a listbox using "listbox.clear", but now I have no idea. Does anyone know a good way to clear listboxes in Access 2003.

I have a multi select listbox that I rebuild as I index thru some products in another listbox. This listbox then gives me the ingredients I can use. Works well, but the ghost selections in the listbox stay hilighted even after the rebuild.
I can select and de-select at will if there are actual items in the list box, but the ghosts remain.
Here is the code to clear the listbox
Dim _
ctlSource As Control, _
varSelected As Variant, _
intListCount As Integer
Set ctlSource = Forms.frm_select_UPC_LoinGrade!lstBox_ColdStorage
For intListCount = 0 To ctlSource.ListCount

Hi all
I have an unbound form. To the left I have a list box with a list of employee names. To the right I have a bunch of text fields. Once I've entered the data, I click on a button and it adds a new record. It works perfectly provided I add one employee at a time. It gets painful when I have multiple employees and I'm entering the same data.
Is there a way I can multiselect employees from the listbox, fill in the data fields and add multiple records which just one click??
I'd appreciate any advice.
Now i need some help here.
I adapted this code from somewhere on this forum. But iam having a problem with using the 'ALL' criteria.
It Opens a Report Dynamically from multiple selections in the two multiselect ListBoxes, but when i select 'All' and select any other item in another listbox
For Example(All in Names and Home1 in Homes) it gives me all the Results.
I have tried several criterias to solve it out but iam still failing.
Hope there will be help. Attached is a sample db in A2K and A97.
Thanks in Advance.
Merry X-mas everyone!!!
I'm new to this message board and I'm glad i came across it. I've been looking for a way to multiselct search using Combo boxes.Reading through the threads here i found one (Posted by SBaxter). I've use the SQL Statements and VB code for my search. It works but not like his for some reason. The problem i'm having is when you open the form it asks for criteria like a parameter Query does. You have to type it in before it loads, unlike his where you click what you want out of combo boxes. At first i thought it was something i did wrong with the query but i've noticed that in his DB if you have the form open and then open the query it doesn't act like parameter. It does if the form is close. With mine that doesn't matter i still have to type it in! So i'm guessing it's with how i set up the list box in my form. I've attached a copy for someone to look at.
Thank.

Hi all
I have a list box with a bunch of names in it that links to a subform on a master form. At the moment I click on a name and update details in the subform. It would be nice if I could multiselect names then update details all at once without having to individually change each one. I tried the multiselect property but I get index or relationship errors. I don't have any relationships (because I'm not adding new records... just updating) and I changed the indexes to NO. Didn't work. I tried!! Any idea how I might get this working??
I appreciate any advice.

Does any one know of a way to toggle a multiselect listbox's property programmatically?
The One In The VBS Help doesn't work!
Hi, my problems are numerous!
I have a form with a number of multiselect listboxes. Their sources are individual tables such as YEARS, PARISHES, CLIENTS. The underlying data is stored in a separate table. I want users to be able to select none, one or some values from each listbox and run a report.
As simple listboxes with one selection permitted this worked fine. I know that my problem is in concantenating the values.
I have tried attaching some code to the OnClick function of a cmd button on the form. I found this code referred to a number of times here and have tried to adapt it but no luck. I have now reduced my form to one listbox to test stuff out- this is the code-
Dim frm As Form, ctl As Control
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strSQL As String
Set frm = Form!testform
Set ctl = frm!lboparish
strSQL = "Select * from StJamesAgric where [Parish]="
For Each varItem In ctl.ItemsSelected
strSQL = strSQL & ctl.ItemData(varItem) & " OR [Parish]="
Next varItem
'Trim the end of strSQL
strSQL=left$(strSQL,len(strSQL)-300)
The first error I get is "can't find field 'testform'"
My form is called testform
The listbox is called lboparish
The table with all the data is called StJamesAgric
What am I doing wrong???? And also, if this code EVER works, do I need to repeat it for each listbox or do I insert refernces to each list box within just one subcommand?
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have a single-user application about to become multi-user.
There is a table, displayed in a form as datasheet, where we do lots of things with the selected items.
Code:
MyID MyItem IsSelected ....
1______ItemA__ Yes
2______ItemB__ Yes
3______ItemC__ No
....
The user checks the IsSelected (bound to a checkbox) for the items required for further processing, does the processing and starts over. The function of the column IsSelected is to hold the boolean signifying whether or not to process the record, and to bind to the checkbox in the form.
How to retain the user interface (i.,e. selecting using one or more checkboxes) if the database is to be used by more than one user?
I would like to be able to create a recipe (saved in its own table) by pulling items from a multiselect list box (from the raw materials table) but which allows me to add the same ingredient more than once.
I work for a chemical manufacturing company and we need to track the cost of goods by recipe (final product), by linking the ingredients (where the cost of the raws are associated) to the final prodcut. Several of our products need to have chemicals added in the beginning, but then again at the end of the procedure unlike normal kitchen recipes.
(I sure hope I don't have to learn VBA . . . I'm totally new at Access!)

Hello,
I've scoured the dozen archived threads that relate to my challenge, but I still can't quite overcome it.
I have an aggregate query that runs but returns no values.
This is how I've tried to set things up:
A user makes a multiple selection in a list box on a form.
The multiple selection gets strung into an SQL that I feed to a hidden control on the form.
Whatever is in the hidden control then becomes the Where clause that I reference in a Criteria cell in my query.
The query is run when the user presses a command button.
Can anybody tell what's wrong with my code? Thanks very much in advance!

I am using Access XP.
I have a table for experiments - tblexp.
Each experiment can have one or more projects within it. So I have a drop down list of the various projects in a separate table - tblprojref with fields project no (projno) and project title (protitle).
When I am setting up a new experiment I am entering the information into a form. Along with other information that populates the underlying table, I would like to have a multiselect list box which allows me to pick the projects linked to the experiment. These would then either populate the same tblexp or another. I can only achieve this if I am only selecting one project from the list.
How can I get the several items selected into different fields and linked to the one experiment? I am new to this and although have found various threads relating to this they include a lot of code which I don't understand. Is there a step by step easy way to achieve this?
I have inherited a database that is used to track equipment that comes in for repair. One of the fields in this database is a memo field that lists the parts that are replaced on a piece of equipment. It has been requested that I leave this field as it is. However, I would like to regulate the data that is entered into to some extent. I need to ensure that there is a comma between every part number listed (there is another group that wants data from this database and they want to be able to separate this field out into individual fields). Is there a way to have Access look at the data in a memo field, find all the periods or ampersands, and replace them with commas?
The other thought I had was to provide the person filling in the database with a multi-select list box that lists all the available part numbers for a given piece of equipment. That person could select as many as she wants and when she was done, the database would take those values, put a comma between each one, and paste them in the memo field. Is that possible? What I have tried isn't working. I tried to get it to loop through the selected items and put them in the memo field, but I just end up with the last value selected instead of all of the items selected.
I don't know what to try next, Either the person entering the data is going to be upset because she has to type every part number in a different field, or the people receiving the data are going to be upset because there isn't a comma between each number.
