Combo Box Contents Depending On Prior Combobox
Aug 31, 2006
Hi
I have a form that is basically an autoform for inputting into my main table. I have one combobox that has customers in it.. let's call them a b and c. Further down is another field, called Reference. Each customer can have certain references. I want the reference field to be a combobox, in which the selection list is dependent on the choice in the customer combobox.
So if customer is a, the ref. cbo gives you the choice of 1, 2, or 3. If Customer is b, ref is 4, 5, or 6, and if customer is c, ref is 7, 8, or 9. See what I'm saying?
Sorry if it's not explained very well, I am happy to answer any questions to clarify it.
Thanks.

How would I modify multiple comboboxes in subforms at the same time. For example.. In main form ComboboxA user selects 1992, Combobox1 in subform1 is also changed to 1992, as well as Combobox2 in subform 2.
Whats the best way to do this?

I have a requirement that will need three cascading combo boxes - the second box should only display the contents that match or are relevant to the first combo box, etc.The title of the YouTube video is:
Microsoft Access pt 9 (Cascade Combo Box)
It seems the first and second combo boxes cascade and works fine. However, the third combo box remains blank after the second combobox selection has been made.
I have three tables: Customer, CustomerSubOrg, and PORs. I have setup lookup fields that are using Primary keys for two of the tables (CustomerSubOrg and PORs). However, I ensured that the primary key fields display as the "Names" of each instead of the numbers. I also ensured I went back and changed their data type to "Text" instead of "Number" so the text appears (which seems to have worked for box #2).
How to get the third combobox to display its contents? I've attached some additional screen shots below. I know the problem is within the second combobox -- perhaps the query needs some adjustment?Unfortunately I cannot attach images yet since I am now. But I basically created two queries and used them each for the second and third combobox.The comboboxes on the form:
Customer
Sub Organization
POR
The Suborg query looks like this:
Table: CustomerSubOrg
First Column:
From field SubOrg
From table CustomerSubOrg
Second Column:
From field CustomerID
From table CustomerSubOrg
Criteria [Forms]![frmMain]![cboCustomer]
The POR query looks like this:
Table: PORs
First Column:
From field PORName
From table PORs
Second Column:
From field SubOrgID
From table PORs
Criteria: [Forms]![frmMain]![cboSubOrganization]
Why wont the contents from the third combobox appear?

Hi everyone,
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
Thanks
Humphrey

I have a combo box with three columns, the first one is the bound one, the second is text in English, and the third is text in Spanish. Currently when the form is open, both the English and Spanish texts columns are visible. What I would like to do is set up a command button on a different form that will open the form with just the English showing in the combo boxes, and another button for Spanish. I've tried the following code which opens the form, but the combo box is disabled altogether.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEditar", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.SetProperty "niv_gest", acPropertyColumnWidths, "0;1;1"
What am I missing?

I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...

I have created a database that is used to track various programs that our organisation runs, and keeps a record of which Division the program is in.
at the moment I have a main form which has a combo box that lists Divisions, then I have a subform that has a combo box on it that lists the purchasers.
what I would like to do, is to have the Purchasers list update when a Division is selected in that main form, as depending on which Division is chosen the contents of the Purchasers list changes drastically.
Is anyone able to offer some assistance?

I have a new job at a company that had someone else develop their Access application. My boss has asked me to print out all of the options in several comboboxes so he can have me either add to or delete some of the items in the list.
Is there a way I can copy all of the items in the list of a combobox? :confused: These comboboxes are not bound to any tables.
I hope I have explained this well enough for everyone to understand what I am asking.
Thank you in advance for your help.

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.
Philip

I have a combo box whose row source comes from a table. I want ppl to be able to select from the combo box but I don't want them to be able to make any changes to its content (in the table).
How do I do that? I've fiddled around with the Lock features in the forms but I cannot get the right setting. Advice? thanks.

I have a combo box on a form to enable users to find records. When the form opens initially, these boxes are blank. However, after a search has been performed, the selected information in the combo box stays there, as well as the record opening up. How can I make the combo box revert to being blank after the record has opened on the form?
Thanks in advance,
Gary

I have seen and created combo boxes that resize when clicked to fit the size of the data inside. That is, the bound column might be a small string, like a in-house code (i.e. "aa", "ab", "bb" etc), but the combo box, when opened, expands to show the code in one column and the definition of what that code actually means in another to be all user friendly like.
I am trying to do this again, but I can't seem to get the box to expand when clicked. I have looked at a form where the box does expand, checked the settings (there was no code behind the other (sub) form), but I can't see why that combo box gets bigger and mine won't. I googled and for some reason can't find the answer to this question. It must be something obvious. What's going on?
I should just make the column larger, but this was requested to be added to a form after the fact, and everything would just be... nicer if I could get it to behave this way.

Hi all,
I am trying to have the rowsource change on a "subcategory" combo box depending on what the "category" combo box says.
I added an event procedure to the "Category" combo box which changes the Row Source in the subcategory combo box to something else. I'm not sure that I did this right as if I close the database and reopen it, what I selected in the subcategory combobox is gone and it is blank. Any ideas? Here is my simple, likely incorrect event procedure:
Private Sub Category_Change()
If Category.Text = "Rare Books" Then
SubCat.RowSource = "scRareBooks"
End If
If Category.Text = "Legal Documents" Then
SubCat.RowSource = "scLegalDocuments"
End If
End Sub
Thanks!

(pls see end of thread for further clarification)
Hi
I am trying to achieve the following using 2 combo boxes
Box "a" is a list of courses from tbl_training_courses. The user selects the appropriate course.
Box "b" is a list of dates for each course from tbl_course_dates. Thus the user can select which date per course they want to book someone onto, and this value is then stored in tbl_training_record as the date the person is booked onto.
Its not working!!! It either displays blank values, or it starts a parameter query which I didnt want.
In the combo wizard, access refers to "remembering the value selected for later use" - i guess this might be what I need to use, remembering the value from the first and using it to select rows for the 2nd box based on identical courseID - but I can't seem to find this in Help file.
Any ideas anyone?

Hi, I'm not sure how to write something and would like assistance. The form is taken from a table and then there are two diffenterent forms displayed as datasheets within, on tab controls. I have a combo box taken from a query on each form and would like the combo box to display a certain list if the control on the form (the bit taken from the table) has a P in it, a different list if the control has an R in it or to display the whole list if the control has a B in it. Trouble is, I'm quite new to this and I'm not sure on how to write any code for if statements or whatever is needed. If you are able to assist I would appreciate it. Thanks

I have quite a simple problem I think, but i don't know if I'm able to explain it properly.
I have three tables:
one for contacts
one for the groups contacts are a member of
and a junction table to solve the many to many relationship there.
What I want, is to create a form, with a combo box with a drop down list of groups. When a user selects a group, I'd like all the contacts (including *some* of their fields) to populate the list box below.
So a user can easily view the members of each group.
Does that make sense?

Hey,
I have 2 combo boxes. The first one gives a lis of Prefix letters for railcars. The second uses the value of the 1st and finds railcars that start with the same letters.
finally got the 2nd combo box to list the prefix and number of a railcar based on the 1st combo box and also got it to clear as each run-through starts.
Now that the user can select a number (ex. dfcv1234 as the railcar), I need to find the record with the prefix dfcv and the car number 1234 and load the record to the form for view and editing.
So far, I know it needs to be the after update event and have a select statement that finds the [key], [prefix], [car_number] that matches the value selected on the form but how do I use the key to make the record show on the form?
Thanks,
slh

In the database, there is a table called "Jobs" which sales enquiries are entered into. In this table, there are fields called "JobStatus" which has the default text of "Quotation Pending" and a combo box "JobLive" which is a "yes/no" field. Normally a job will come in as quotation request and the "JobsLive" field will be set to "no".
Occasionally, a job will come in as confirmed from the outset. In this case, the job will be marked as "live" in the combo box "JobLive". Is it possible to change the "JobStatus" field to "Job Live" when this combo box is changed to "yes"?At any other stage, the "JobStatus" field will be changed using an update query as and when changes are made.

Hi I'm a real newbie at this but basically I have a form displaying three lots of contacts Expediting, Quotation & Miscellaneous contacts.After choosing the company name from a list box it displays the Expediting, Quotation & Miscellaneous contacts info - but doing it this way there isnt much space on the screen to show all the Contact names,Telephone fax & email addresses clearly& at a decent size.Apart from the company list box I want to have a list box/combo box with:
Expediting
Quotation
Miscellaneous
and then after choosing Expediting, Quotation or Miscellaneous from the list/combobox i want it to take the relevant data from the Expediting, Quotation, or Miscellaneous contacts sections and only display the information relating to those sections only, therefore allowing me to have bigger text and not so cramped display so everyone can read it ok and get more info on the screen for each contact group.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated!!!! Thankyou in advance for any help. Be gentle with me I am a newbie,lol.
Thanks again
