Combo Box To Select Correct Record On FORM
Dec 1, 2007
I have database of roughly 15000 records. The records have a unique number and the majority of searches etc work OK. The problem is with a form used to display record details with various sub forms embedded on the form.
Scrolling through displays the correct details.
Trying to use a combo box to determine the record selected does not work correctly.
The combo box is made up of 4 columns of "NAME", "COUNTRY", "ROLE" and "UNIQUE NUMBER"
Typing in the combo box auto fills in the NAME until the correct one is found. If the name is unique it opens on the form correctly. But if the name is not unique it does not always open the correct record.
Is there any way of being able to use the NAME to search through the combo box entries but use their unique number to determine the record selected.
A further problem arises as there are apostrophes in the NAME as well

I have a form that allows the user to select a record in a combo box. When this selection is made I want a 2nd form to open and give the user a place to enter additional info about that item selected. I have the forms working correctly but now I would really like to add the 2nd form to the first form as a subform but when I try this I get the message"The expressing is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated..." There are no fields on the first form that link directly to the 2nd form - because the combo box in an unbound combo (the selection in the combo box is what the 2nd form opens base on) I tried to add this as a subform with no parent/child info and I get the message stated.
I was hoping to make the 2nd form not visible until the selection was made in the combo box then make it visible for the info to be entered. Would really like it to be on the same form not as a separate form opening.I believe I just found that the reason for the message. It seems not to be a subform problem but is because the selection in the combo box needs to be made BEFORE the form can open. So now the question is - how can I make this a subform and avoid this error when the main form first opens. I will test the visibility and see if not visible until the selection clears this up.

I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?

The code I have is.
Code:
Private Sub Command26_Click()
If Forms![test site]![prp test].Form.[A Right Answer] = -1 Then
Forms![test site]![number correct] = Forms![test site]![number correct] + 1
End If
DoCmd.FindNext
End Sub
Then when clicked it checks a yes/no box to see if "A right Answer" is the correct yes. Then it should pop to the main form and take the number correct cell and add one to it. I am trying to get the record to go to the next record inside the sub-form but docmd.findnext seems to be wrong too.

Hi Good-Morning (its morning here in Jamaica) (Whatever time of day it is where ever it is that you great minds are in this beautiful world we live)...
I created a form and used an image control with a filepathfield that is stored in my table,... that works well as far as displaying the correct picture for each record...
I now want to create a Continuous Form with the correct image displayed for each row or eachrecord///
The problem is all of the images are displaying the same picture, but i want them to show their correct pictures... I used an on current event which i guess is why tha is happening cause all the pictures change when different record selectors are clicked...
Please advise how i could get around this...
I looked at the Northwind database, but that database uses an OLE object, I would like to use the filePath field that i have in my database...
Any Ideas? Thanks in Advance

In the following code to add an article to a purchase order line table and then open the form on the purchase order in question , I had to open the window "frmPurchase" twice in succession. If I omit the first docmd.openform statement, the form would open at the first record in the table, not the one defined in the where clause "PUOpen and PUCompID = " & Me.lstCompany.
I had noticed previously that, when the form "frmPurchase" was already open, Access went to the correct record, and not if the calling program had to open the window, which is why I came up with the idea of replicating this behavior in the code.
With rstC
.FindLast "PULineNB <> 0 AND PuLineHeadingID = " & rstB!PUID
If Not .NoMatch Then
linenb = rstC!PULineNb
Else
linenb = 0
[Code] ...
Is this normal behavior, and if not, how can I improve the code?

I wonder if any one can help with this one, shown below are 2 examples of strings in a field called PROCOM
Occurred: EnterMeterReadings; Reason: Reading greater than upper limit; Session: 0A52BE4293.worker1
MSPSubmitMeterReadings; Reason: CANNOT BILL LATER THAN 29/02/08, DATE AMENDED FROM 13/03/08
I ususally nest IIf statements to abbreviate these in another field (PROC), as PROC: IIf ([PROCOM] like Occurred: EnterMeterReadings; Reason: Reading greater than upper limitMRE-Upper limit",[PROCOM])
The problem I have is there now 30 permutations of the error and IIF can only nest 8 statements (and it looks very messy). I thought that Select Case would do the job but I cannot use
Select Case
Case Is Like "Occurred: EnterMeterReadings; Reason: Reading greater than upper limit*"
Hope someone can help with this one
Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,
I want to try to restrict the user not always changing the record, so i need a Disable combo box command. And i did try it by using "Name.Enabled = False" after user select the value from the combo box, but the program won't let me do that because of the record is on focus. So what can i do? I only have an idea of after the user select the value from cbo then jump the cursor immediately to the second column, but anybody can tell me how to do that?
Thanks alot!
Regard,
alex

I have a form for entering property tax. The form is based on a table called investments. The form contains a combo box to select the appropriate property for data entry to the table. The two fields in the combo box are Property PIN and Property ID. The property ID is a combination of tax year+state+county+PIN. The same property can come up in more than one tax year so there are duplicate PINs but the Property ID is unique and is the key field. My problem is the combo box shows the duplicate PINs with their respective unique Property IDs as separate records but will only select the record for the earliest tax year regardless of which records I select on the combo box.

I have a form that uses a combo box to select the record to edit which then opens the edit form... I keep getting a type mismatch error. The bound column is a text column and I'm wondering if that is the problem because this works perfectly everywhere else in the database. The primary key is the SKU of the product which is alphanumeric which is why I have it set to text...

I am attempting to create an attendance database that needs to be able to be updated if someone calls in sick.
I have created a cascading combo box where you can select a date up to 15 days into the past with the following code in the rowsource for cboDate
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT tblAttendance.dataDate FROM tblAttendance WHERE (((tblAttendance.dataDate)>Date()-15)) ORDER BY tblAttendance.dataDate DESC;
an after update event has been coded to show only employees who have been scheduled for the day
Code:
Private Sub cboDate_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Me.cboAgentName.RowSource = "Select tblAttendance.agentName, tblAttendance.attendance,
[Code]....
So basically what i need to do is be able to use the cascading combo boxes to select the date and employee to go to that specific record so i can update the other fields. Currently when i attempt to do this with my current form, it automatically goes to a new record when i select a date and name and doesn't update the existing record.

Very simple question:
How do I make the results of a query which I am displaying in a combo box appear in order.
e.g. 1 then below that 2 then below 3 then below 4 etc
even though I may have entered the details in a different order. I've tried doing it order by ascending and decending but this doesn't work.
Many thanks
Paul.

I have a databse which uses a query and a form to filter records from 1 table into a report. It works well, however the way in which it works currently means i would need around 15 forms as there are (going to be) around 15 tables.
What I would like to do is add a combo box at the very top of the form to select the source table for the other combo boxes on the form (hope this makes sense!!).
This link is a test version of the database (Access 2000):

Hi everyone,
I have a combo box that is populated from a table called tblProducts.
There are only three fields ID, Model and Description in this table.
ID is the primary key field and is an Autonumber
In the form when a user selects a product from the combo box the "Model" fields is displayed which is how I want it.
I am doing a query that should show the "Model field however when I run the query it shows the "ID" field which is useless information for the end user.
How do I show the correct field in the query?

I have code attached to a command button to fill a Combo Box with data from a music collection. A letter of the alphabet is entered into a Text Box then records beginning with that letter are copied from a table, either by Artist or Title. They are saved to a temporary table at which time they are in no particular order. Those records are copied to a further table and saved in alphabetical order. This table is then used to fill the Combo Box.
I used two temporary tables because the records were not displayed in the correct order. I hoped this might cure it, it did not. The records are in order in the table but not in the Combo Box.
Code:
Private Sub Command68_Click()
'SEARCH AND FILL COMBO BOX
On Error GoTo errTrap
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM tempList;"
[Code] .....

Using ms access 2010, I created a table called all items contains the ID, item name, item code, item price.
Second table I created called orders, contains item1,Q1=quantity,Tot1=calculated field.
Then a form to fill the orders table with a combo box for Q1 (gets the value from a table called numbers), second combo box for item1 (gets the value item code and item price from the table all items), and a text box to calculate the total of the Q1-item1(item price) All working perfect except the combo box for item1 ends up displaying a different item code that's only if the items were at the same price, for example, I choose latte from the combo box gives me correct item price but the code is cappuccino, only happening with items with the same price.
If I set the property of the combo box Bound Column to 1, I get correct item code but calculation error, Bound Column to 2, I get correct calculations but wrong item code. how to get the combo box to display the correct item code?

OK, my database is also complete, thanks to the help of this forum!!!
My next question is:
I have a switchboard that has a button for my data entry form. The lady that will use this form will, of course, enter all her records using the form into the database. Because of what she does, she will have to go back to records on a daily basis to make corrections to individual records. I would like a way to put a command button on my switchboard that will say something like "Correct Records". She will hit this button and it will ask her for the medical record number she wants to correct and then will take her to that record to correct.
Is there a way to do this or is there a better way? Currently I have a button that will ask for a day range and then will bring up a query of those records for her to correct but I would really like to be able to somehow bring up the individual record, by medical records number, for her to correct instead of going through a long list of records that were input on a single day. Thanks so much for all your help getting this thing up and running!!!!

I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done
2)If it can be done, how can I do it?

I have a combo box on my form that passes criteria to a simple select query. There are four possible selections to make from the combo box. For some reason, when I select the first option on the list the query runs perfectly. However, if I select the second, third or fourth option from the combo box, the query returns no records, even though I know there are records in my table which should be returned.

I'm wondering is it possible to create a multiple parameter query which will return results even if you leave some of the parameters blank ?. I'm trying to set up a Form which will allow users to select parameters using combo boxes but at the moment you need to fill them all in or you'll get no results...
