When I get focus of a combo box I do an automatic dropdown but when I select an item from the list the dropdown doesn't close so it covers my other fields until I click randomly anywhere on the form. How can I get the dropdown to close as soon as I make my selection from the list?
Thanks
Hi
I remember seeing it. i just don't remember if i need code for this or not. I would like to the combo box to open and show the full menu upon entry.
thanks,

Hi I'm a beginner using access and I was wondering if it's possible to choose a value from a combo box in a form (like a customer #) and when chosen the rest of the fields would get the corresponding values from table CUSTOMER. I have made the customer info a sub-form in my main form called ORDER your help will be greatly appreciated

I have a combo box in which it's value changes according to user input. It is working but it is annoying to have to click the combo box for it's list to refresh. How to make it seemless?
Thank you
Is there a method you can use to hide the drop-down arrow on a combo box until the combo box is selected?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to prevent the drop down list from displaying on a combo box, and even better, to hide the drop down button. I know this just sounds like using change to and changing the combo to a text. However, as the text box doesn't have the same properties, it won't display the correct information and explaining how the combo box get its information is a little complicated. If there isn't a way, I'll try to explain in a reply. :)
Cheers,

Hi all,
This is a simple question i think, but how do i enable my drop down menu to work for a combo box. I have a search query bound to a form and the combo box bound to a field of that query. At present my query just display the first record for any search result from my query on the combo box.
Thanks in advance,
M-.
As an example lets say I have a table listing some cars:
Car Make Car Model
Ford Fiesta
Ford Focus
Ford GT
Mercades C Class
Mercades E Class
Mercades A Class
I am making a form with two combo drop downs with the ability to select car make or model.
Car Model is Unique so if the car model is entered, I will force the car Make into the other combo box
however, If i select "Mercades" for example in the car make, I would like the combo box of Car model to only be filled with the possible models that Mercades make.
Is this possible? (to search for the values available in Car Model based on the value entered in Car Make?)
it possible to align the row source values of a combo box? i want to align it to the right instead of the left
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Combo Box bound which gets its values from a table (T_Users).
The Combo Box displays the Users 'Initials' [Column 1], but the Bound Column [Column 2] is that of the Users 'ID' (which is used when a record is edited or a new record added).
What I want to be able to do is when the user clicks the Combo Box, and the drop down list 'drops down' the options, I want them to not only see the 'Initials' but also selected other columns - BUT - when the option is selected I just want the 'Initials' to be displayed in the Combo Box.
Code:
So, Normal > | ABC |
Dropped Down > | ABC |
--------------------------------------------
| ABC (Annabel Carcus, Big Company Ltd.) |
| JB (Joe Bloggs, Medium Company Ltd.) |
| FS (Fred Smith, Little Company Ltd.) |
Select JB, and > | JB |
filter reports by specific date types in a drop down or combo box I would like the dates to be

I'm trying to create a combo box that takes its values from a field in a table, the thing is that this field has duplicates because:
* The table is a qualification look up table
* It has 3 fields: QualificationID (autonumber), Qualification(e.g. Bachelor), Programme (e.g. Science)
* E.g of duplicate values (this is not a problem as it is necessary) Bachelor of Science, Diploma of Science, Certificate of Science
What I'm trying to do is create 2 single-columned combo boxes that are a parameter for a query and it's working except the combo boxes show duplicated valuesIs there a way to get the query that is the row source for the combo box to eliminate duplicates?
Just fumbling my way around Access 2007, is the only way you can create a drop down list of number by creating a table and inserting a combo box? I am trying to create a list of hours for example:
0.5
1
1.5
2
Etc...
Is there a quick and easy (or not so easy) way to use Microsoft Outlook Address Book to populate a drop down combo box? I am creating a form that needs to pull in Business Process Owners, all of which would be in our corporate address book.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway that access could create a drop down box within a drop down box? For instance, when a selection is made in a drop down box, it opens another drop down box with choices.And is it possible to link an inserted image from a form to open in MSPaint that when it opens, the image is already there?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a drop box that has four selections from a table (NORTH, EAST,SOUTH or WEST) I also have a another table that has two fields which is a NAME of a person and either NORTH, EAST,SOUTH,WEST depending on the persons name. What I need to happen (within a form) is that when I select NORTH from a drop down box, I can then select names in another drop down box that correspond to NORTH only. Then only names from the South list if I select SOUTH etc
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk, This is something I have long wanted to do, but cannot figure out.
I am working on a database for a company that orders a large number of Items. I have these all in one table (itemCode, itemDescription, price, categoryCode, etc). I have another table with categorys (categoryCode, categoryDescription) . Each Item is asigned a categoryCode and the appropiate relationship exsists. Right now I have a comboBox in a form that when selected opens a drops down menu with all the Items. Then another one auto loads up (continuous form) and I get the same drop down list of all the Items.
What I would like to have is a combo box then when it is selected shows the categorys, then based on that selection, I see all the Items that are in that category.
I guess another way of saying this simply is, I would like to create a drop down menu inside of a dropdown menu.
Is this possible? Does anyone have another alternative suggestion that might work well? I'm relectant to use a list box, becoase ideally it would be a drop down menu inside of a drop down menu as seen on many websites.
Thanks in Advance!

A group of us are working on this database for a girl scout troop and we were asked to create drop-down boxes for the parent information and doing one for the bus information. We are a bit clueless right now so I was wondering if anyone could help us out. I have added database Its called project.mdb
This is the link for the database

I have a form with some drop down boxes
The form is based on a table
One field is lastname and one is firstname
The row source is based on table/query
The lastname field works fine but the firstname brings in the lastnames
What am I doing wrong
Hi Guys,
I have a combo box on one of my forms that on clicking the arrow the user has the option to either input yes/no. However i have just noticed that the user doesn't have to input yes or no and can actually put whatever they want in it (which sort of defeats the object of the combo box!!)
Any ideas guys/gals??
regards,

My database is set up with a sub form showing:
Mfg, Model, Serial#, and Type. When I drop down and choose the Mfg, I then go to the next drop down (Model)and the only choices I have are those associated with the Mfg I just selected from the previous drop down. On my Enter Repair Data form, I want to be able to drop down a box for Part Number and then have a drop down field for the Part Description to match the part number that i just selected. Then I would like to have the next drop down to show a unit price for the Part Number and Description fields that I just entered. Is it possible to accomplish this with an existing Data Base? My data base is 1.61M so it's too large to upload here, but if someone can help me my ICQ # is 65-489-369, e-mail is huntiir@bellsouth.net. I can upload a copy of my database if needed.
I also need to have a field added to another report in my data base sowing the total labor for units shipped on a particular date to a particular customer. The report already totals parts used in the repair of the units for that date. I just can't seem to get the total labor to show up.
I was also trying to set up an inventory Report on parts used for my repairs where it will calculate the number of parts in stock in the form of:
RR#, Part#, Description, Unit Cost, and Total Units in Stock. You can see that I am somewhat complicated and ignorant to the use of Access.
Can you help me out please?

Currently the database has a parameter query in which the query is entered via a pop up box, it would be preferred if the query could be selected from a list of criteria in a combo box and run via a command button.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hello Everyone. I'm not all that new to access however my problem does exceed my experience and I'm hopeing someone out there maybe able to help me.
A while back I began to build a database to keep track of post production activites such as what items were being produced on a perticular production line. Its my job to book all these items in according to date, line, item, order and qty.
This was all good and simple until it was decided that I had to assign a category to each item. Their are multiple models to one perticular category and to make things even more difficult the same item could be produced on more than one production line.
I work within a Pool company where their are 7 production lines, each with their own purpose and facilites of making certain products until you come to other products that could be produced on any of 3 or more lines.
So, I made a table 'Category' which lists the different types/acronyms for products and the lines in which it could be produced on.
I than created a new column within my Post Production table called 'category' and chose to use a drop box so I may select which category to assign the item. The drop box shows both columns 'Catefory','Line'.
The problem I have is that theres 40+ rows within the Category drop box and because the same name of the category may appear more than once simply beginning to type in the category name isn't good enough.
Is there a way to filter out which categories is listed within the drop box according to which line it maybe coming off once I've already selected which line within the same row?
I've tried selecting a relationship and createing a query both failed.

I have an Access 2002 database with a relationship between 2 tables I want to delete using VB code. I setup the relationship from within Access. Is there a way to find out the name of the relationship, if there is such a thing. The tables are: TableA.Id linking to TableB.BankAcctId with both cascade functions. What would the VB code look like? Something like ALTER TableB DROP CONSTRAINT ...
Thanks
I am creating a table in Access 2003, and I need to add a drop down list to one of my columns. See the attached picture - I need to add a drop down list to the "Division" column that will allow the user to select from one of 5 choices. How do I do this?
I'm an Access beginner, BTW. :)
