View Repliesanyone able to help me, i need to link 2 combo boxes using the same two different tables,
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have created a database for tech calls that come into my office.
I have created two tables with information i need on my form
table 1 = Office Location ID and Office Location (ie Chicago and other towns)
table 2 = Employee ID, Employee, and Employee Location Code (ie Chicago = 1)
I have created a form with the fields that i need to record all the data.
What i want to do is create a Combo box for office location and place the 3 office locations via a field list. I then want to setup another combo box that would display only the employees that are part of the office location that was selected in the previous combo box.
If anyone could assist me in this it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi.
I have created a database for an old office filing system in work.
There are 2 tables – Files & File Contents.
Table ‘Files’ has 5 fields: ID; Number (e.g. 1/03); Title; Status (e.g. Live/Closed – created a list on the relevant form using the Lookup wizard when creating the table) and Referenced To – at some point in the future all these files will be closed and this last field will show what all future correspondence is filed on.
Table ‘File Contents’ basically lists all correspondence on every file. But, some of the files have categories exclusive to them.
In the form ‘File Contents’ if someone was inputting new correspondence I would like the category lists to show just the relevant category for that file, i.e. if File 1/03 Training is selected then the 3 Training Categories will show and if File 5/03 is selected then the 2 categories relevant to it are shown.
But I don’t know how to do that…..
Should I create new tables for each of the ‘Files’ showing the categories or would one category table do?
I would be grateful of any help/advice you can give me.
Thanks.

Hello!
I am working a new solution that I figured I would try, I am normally a web based data man. I have worked with a lot of SQL and server side code, but to be honest, I have never really used Access in depth. And so I am facing some problems, that I know are possible, but I am not sure on the syntax or method of doing it. Perhaps I could get some good help:D
Simple example: I have 1 combo box on a form populated with a query, I want to be able to when that cb's data has been selected to populated another list based off of what was selected. How do I accomplish this? Thanks for any help!
I'm creating a database to assist with the sales operations of a hat shop. I have a form for creating new orders called 'Invoice' where the order number and date is set.
Within this form is a subform called 'Invoice_Order' (Continuous layout), this form is used for assigning order items to an order number.
Within the subform there are two combo boxes which search the Stock table.
1st ComboBox- diplays hat styles (E.g- v1/v2/v3/v4...)
Problem is; different hat styles are available in different colours based on the material used. I would like the second CoboBox to display a list of colours depending on the style of hat chosen.
At present i can only get it to display a list of colours for all hat styles.
Does that make sense?
Any help would be most appreciated
I currently have a form with a drop-down combo box that is used as a tool for selecting an employee's last name. After selecting a name, the text boxes below the combo box are updated to match up with the selected name.
However, I am trying to get the employee images to do the same thing, but it's not working. The employee photos are currently "Bound Object Frame" items. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. :)

- a noob
I have a text box on a subform that I want to use to control a combo box on the main form - I know it's not how things should be done but I've no choice - these are my instructions. I'm using Access 2000.
The text box displays a short data in dd/mm/yyyy format and when data is entered into it, it populates a field in Table 1. The combo box displays all the months of the year which it obtains from another table which only has months in it. The combo box properties have Limit to List set to Yes. Once a Month is selected, it populates the month onto another Table, Table 2. The months have all been assigned with a numeric identifier (i.e. 1 for January and so on) but only the name of the month appears in the combo box.
What I have to do is have the combo box update the month it displays based on the short date in the text box. I've tried the After Update event on the text box to no avail. The code I tried there that didn't work was:
Quote:
Private Sub txtDate1_After Update
Me!txtDate1 = Me!cmbMonth
End Sub
I've tried similar code in the On Enter even for the combo box and this too failed. I've also tried switching off the Limit to List property of the combo box and this didn't work either.
I've also tried to set the combo box so that it links to the exact same fields as the text box and while this did work, all it did was have the date be displayed in the combo box in short date format and not as the name of the month.
I'm struggling to understand if this update is even possible. Can a combo box that has a Row Source limited to options in one table which it then updates onto a field in another table be controlled by just part of the date from a text box?
Hi all,
i need help regarding linking Access to various Word documents.:confused:
the task consists in choosing a particular Country, Year and Month from Combo Boxes and then view the related reports in Word.
for example : United Kingdom, 2006, January
more than one report can be related to a particular country.
is there a way this can be done? (maybe through the use of LookUp for the folder path?!)
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks.
I am facing a problem. i am very amateur at access. I want to design a form on which there is one combo box and one command button. If i made a selection from the combo box and clik on command button it should show all the details related to that particular selection (say Shop Order) on a report. I dont know how to link this things.
report may be like..
Shop Order Description Length Width Hight..
Ax12 xxxxxx xxx xxx xxx
Ax 12
for a particular shop order selection there may be no. of parts that should show on.
like an assembly thing. Suppose Shop order for a bag is A23 and its different parts are belt and chain...
now
SHOP Order description ......
A23 belt
A23 Chain...
i hope i described my problem..
please do help if you can..
Thank you

Hello
I need to select information from different combo boxes. Using a command button, i would then like the information transferred onto a list box.
I have so far managed to link all my combo boxes so the result comes out on a list box. if one combo box is left blank, i get no information in the list box. is there a simple way of doing this.
Thanks

I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

hello,
I've got a back-end/front-end Access database. The front end sits on a user's desktop. There's one table she needs to update, but cannot because it's not linked. It's table called Login that contains passwords/users names. The table did not exist in the front-end. I would like to copy it from the back-end to the front-end and link it, but when I try to do that, I don't see it in the list of tables. I do this rarely. How does this work exactly?
thanks-
Is there anyway to link an excel spreadsheet to an existing database table - so that entries into either update each
other?
Question for someone..... I was looking at the "LinkTables" in Access..... I see that I can link one database to another..... When I do this I can add the table to my relationship window... I have not played with this too much.. But looks interesting. Now, all the info I might add to this linked table is stored in the other database??? If this linked table is also linked to other tables in the other DB can I use those in queries? Not much covered (that I can find) in the Access help files on this sort of thing.
Thanks
I have a field on my Form. The form holds all the information about Artists under our record label. I need to be able to attach a copy of each artists contract to their separate form. I just found out that you can't physically attach this. Does anyone have any ideas and how I could play this. Any ideas would be well appreciated.
Thanks

I use a packaged software program at the dealership I work at. In the past I have been able to pull queries and information out of the database and into Excel. The query builder pulls the data as read-only and thus no fear of changing the main database. I have developed an access database for doing commissions. I want to be able to link my database with the companies database as read-only. This would save typing a lot of the duplicate information (ie customer name, date etc.). I have been able to successfully link the 2 databases but realized quickly that anything I change in msaccess will change on the main database. I don't want to corrupt the main database and really only want to pull the information for viewing. Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am having a hard time linking some certain information. I think I have my relationships formatted correctly but not all the information is connecting.
For example: I have a form where I am creating a sales quote. In the form I have a combo box where I select my product ID. When I select the product ID, the product name automatically populates but the price does not.
I have attached a screenshot of my relationships. Can someone please look it over and see if anything stands out to you as being incorrectly formatted? Or offer any advise in getting my price to connect to the product ID I enter?
I have a table with job info like: job #, job name, job addy.
I would like my end query to look like this: job #, job name, job notes.
I want the query to list all jobs, job names, and job notes for a particular week(we have a weekly meeting on the status of our jobs), so if I were to query the jobs for 6/26, i would get: job #, job name, and job notes for that date as fields in my query.
I am not sure how to accomplish this. Should I make a seperate table that contains job notes? If so, how would I accomplish this and create a relationship between the job info table and the job notes table?
Thanks in advance!
