I have had some help on this previously but its not working the way i wanted.
I have a form called plan distribution which holds a record of all people who need a copy of a certain plan. There are several hundred contacts held in the database and i want to make this as easy as possible to choose the right ones.
To do this i want to have 3 combo boxes. One each for company, department and contact.
On the plan distribution form i want the user to select which company they want. The department combo box will then automatically show all departments within that company.
Once the user selects the department, the final combo box will hold all contacts within that department.
I have tried several ways of doing this but cant find one that works!
I have two combo boxes on the same form bound to a table. I want the contents of the next combo box to change based on the previous combo selection e.g
cboContinent cboCountry Africa Zambia Africa Congo Africa South africa Europe England Europe Holland
If I choose Africa in cboContinent, I want to see only Zambia, South Africa and Congo under cboCountry and if I choose Europe I want to see only England and Holland
I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do: 1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag") 2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool") 3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.
I'm trying to get one combo box control what tables are available from another combo box. Example, combo box (a) includes numbers 1-5. Selecting (1) makes the data in combo box (b) specific to that selection. Selecting (2) makes the data in combo box (b) something different (pulls data from a different table).
I'm trying to build a database for daily work. My work in daily basis I have to fill all condition for several items.
We have two areas, with two locations under each area, and three systems under each location and each system contain more than 500 items.
I created all tables and fill by all information:
1-Table 1: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4, Area 5, Area 6. 2-Table 2: Location 1, Location 2. 3-Table 3: System 1, System 2, System 3. 4-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-1 5-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-2
[Code] ....
Last table will be LogBook which will be as follow:
date l time l area l location l system l item l Conition1 l Conition2 l Conition3
My question regarding to the form of the above table:
How can I make a combo box for area field and when I select for example area1 will appear only the locations which under area1 in location field, and when I select location1 for example will appear only the systems under location1 in system field, and when I select system1 one for example will appear only items under system 1.Combo box list will be based on the selection in previous combo box and so on.
Once a supplier name is selected from the combo box i only want it displayed that suppliers products in the subform, subform. (products combo box) I can get a basic query to show these results but can get the combo box to do the same.
I have a form with a number of combo boxes to select criteria in order to narrow down a list. A selection in any combo box should narrow your options in the other combo boxes.
For example:
Combo 1 is a list of all the states Combo 2 is a list of all the cities
Selecting NY in combo 1 will change the list in combo 2 so that it only shows cities in NY
Or, selecting Rochester in combo 2 first will edit the list for combo 1 to show only states that have a city named Rochester
The point in me doing this is to be able to narrow down a list of over 230000 different but similar items by varying criteria in order to track inventory and value.
Scrolling through the whole list, typing criteria in manually each time and building new queries and reports every time I need to find something specific are not options.
I just need the combo boxes in a form to set the criteria to filter out the list in real time. Each selection made needs to narrow your options for the next selection.
I have a form with 4 text boxes that are populated from a query with an unbound cbo box to make the choice from. There are two fields that show on the dropdown, "Customer" and "New Product Name". I created it all with wizards. Most of the Customers have only one product name but some have several. If I choose a customer that has several products, it always selects the customer with the first product it finds. How can I get it to select the Customer by product? I have looked and seen what looked like what I needed on this forum, but I couldn't make it work. I am not good a VB. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.
Text is brought into a form field as a result of a combo box selection, is it possible to use the same combo box to select another value that could be appended to the same field as the first selection?
As you have read in my other posts I am creating a Rental database. Now I need to show ages in this database and the certificates they have on films. I have 2 problems
1) I have two fields one called date of birth and one called Age. I am wondering if I enter there date of birth, can I make the age appear automatically.
2) Also when im adding more films to my database I want one combo box saying with the options DVD/VHS/GAME and then the other saying the age certificates because Game and DVD certificates are different so I was wondering if the first combo box makes the other combo boxs options
I have Customers recorded and a number of addresses associated with each customer.
They are in two tables linked by CustomerID and are shown in forms as frmCustomers & subfrmCustomerAddresses.
From frmCustomers, I open another form which records the orders maid by that customer. What I would like on this form is to select the customer address to be used for the order.
I can build a combo, but this shows all addresses on the database. What I would like for the combo to show only the addresses for that customer only.
I do not want two combos, one which selects the customer and then another which shows the addresses. This is not very user friendly to ask for the customer again. I would like one combo to show addresses for the customer on the form.
I would be grateful for any guidance on how I can achieve this.
hi all, another quick question (last one for awhile I promise) but is there a way to add an option to a combo box (Filter by Selection) and Remove/Filter sort without right clicking on it? cheers, Andrew
I have a Main Form Main Form [Event],[Category],[Judge Name] The Main Form also has a subforms Sub1[Event],[Category],[Judge Name],[Score],[Comments]
On the main form I have a combo box that is set to retrieve records that meet the combo selection. and thus the subform is related to display the corresponding records.
In my selection combo box I see all of the various selections as follows [Judge Name],[Category],[Event] and it is bound to the judges name
Problem Example: Pull Down Values 1.[Sherry],[Fitness],[Mrs. Canada] 2.[Sherry],[Swim Suit],[Mrs. Canada]
In the above when i pull down the combo box to select and I select the first example above all is wonderful ; however if i want to select the second row the [Category] and [Event] Do not change and the information i input into the subform ends up being associated to the wrong category.
How do i bind a combo box to more than one [field] on the form
I have over 50 hours into this DB to this point and this is critical.
I have a form with combo boxes for selecting products to be purchased.
When a product is selected, the price appears in a text box. This is working fine by making the bound column of the combo box the field containing the price.
When I have two different products that have the same price, however, the combo box always displays the name of the first item of that price.
For example, a jar of Lavendar Oil costs $12 and a Small Exercise Ball costs $12. The Combo list is sorted alphabetically. When I select the Small Exercise Ball, I get the $12 in the text box, but Lavendar Oil shows up in the combo.
How do I make the combo show what I'm selecting? I assume it's something with the bound column, but can't find the resolution.
I hope someone is able to help me with this................
I have a combo box set up to select a product and put the price into a text box. I am getting the cost showing up in the text box Therapy_Cost just fine, but the combo box itself does not display anything after I select something. If I remove the AfterUpdate, I do get the item displaying in the combo box, but, of course, don't get the price in the text box. Here are the details. Can anyone help?
Combo Box Name: Therapy_Type Control Source: Therapy_Cost Row Source: SELECT Purchase_Items.ItemID, Purchase_Items.Item_Name, Purchase_Items.Item_Cost FROM Purchase_Items WHERE (((Purchase_Items.Item_Type)="2")); Number of Columns: 4 (In this order - ID, Type, Name, Cost) Bound Column: 1 Column Widths: 0";0";1";0" AfterUpdate: Private Sub Therapy_Type_AfterUpdate() Me!Therapy_Cost = Me!Therapy_Type.Column(3) End Sub
I have a form that calculates freight costs. I'm using a combo box for the user to select the route of the shipment from shipping port to destination port. The combo box has 2 fields. The index which is stored in the database and the description which is displayed to the user. I used the wizard to create the combo box and set the index to be saved in a table. Everything works fine, the freight cost is calculated correctly and the data is stored as designed.
The problem is when if the user goes back later and opens the screen to view the freight information, the combo box doesn't display what was selected previously. Therefore, no freight is calculated and the user has to reselect the combo box again. When I check the table, the index value of what was selected is in the table, but it will not display in the combo box.
. . . . Additional info to this post. . . . The combo box is set to use a data from a standard table. The user can only select what is displayed in the list. However, the index is then stored in another table after the selection is made. I want the combo box to do something like, if a selection was previously made then displayed what was select, if not, then display the data from the standard table.
What did I do wrong during the set up? Thanks for your help solving this problem.
I'm new at Access 03. I have a combobox that is sourced by a table, Rowsource property is:
SELECT Classes.TableID, Classes.ClassID FROM Classes;
The name of my combobox is "ClassCombo".
I'm trying to generate a report based on my combobox selection, but I can't reference the value of the selection. The query tied to my report has the following SQL:
SELECT ClassesForInstructors.ClassID, Instructors.InstructorID, Instructors.FirstName, Instructors.LastName FROM Instructors INNER JOIN ClassesForInstructors ON Instructors.InstructorID = ClassesForInstructors.InstructorID WHERE (((ClassesForInstructors.ClassID)="[Forms]![School]![ClassCombo]"));
I'm trying to grab the "ClassCombo" value as input to my query, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
In form "sendmail" their is a combobox "to" which gets ur email address. i want we could be able to select multiple entries thruogh this combo box and it should be seprated by a semi colon

I have a combo box that filters records on a subform by user name. I'd like to add an "all" option to the combo box list so that all records regardless of user name may be displayed at once. I have attempted a few approaches to this using a "union query" but am failing to achieve the correct syntax. The query I'm using is this:
Code:
select top 1 0,"**ALL**" from tblauditstaff union All SELECT tblAuditStaff.AuditStaffID, [tblauditstaff].[auditstafflastname] & ", " & [tblauditstaff].[auditstafffirstname] AS [Auditor Name], tblAuditStaff.AuditStafffirstName, tblAuditStaff.AuditStaffLastName, tblAuditStaff.AuditStaffResponsible, tblDiscrepancy.DiscrepancyAssignedTo, tblDiscrepancy.DiscrepancyActualCompDate,
[Code] ....
This is the error message I'm getting:
The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match.
I have created a combo box in my form, the options for the combo box are coming from a table. It all works fine expect for some odd reason, when I click on an option in the combo box then come out of access, when I go back into the database the one I had chosen has gone. Do you know how I do so what I put in the combo box will stay?
I have a query that runs info selected from safety visits. I have made a form with an unbound combobox that selects the supervisors name and after the name is selected, I have a button to run the query. When a name is selected, the query comes up blank. When I do not select the name, the query is populated.
My criteria on the query is [forms]![personnel]![combo9]
Combo9 is the unbound dropdown menu with the supervisors name that is taken from a table of names.
I have created a combo box with the values I need from a table. Once I select the correct record from the drop down box I'd like to be able to open the table with just that one record being displayed. Thanks for your help.
I am new to Acces programming and have been tasked with making a database for work. I is a very simple database. What I need it to do though that I can't figure out is. Once the table is populated with information I want the user to be able to select a record from my combo box and then all the rest of the information from the record will automatically display in the correct text field so any changes can be made to it. So I have say Combo Box John Smith and when he is selected I want text field DOB to automatically fill with 01/01/1960 as that is what was put in there when he was first entered.
