I know how to assign an event to a combo box, but I want to be able to launch a specific link, app, or email template, based on the actual selection from the combo box. So when I make a selection, whatever program or event I assign, to that specific selection, will launch.
View RepliesHi 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

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 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.
I have a form, with a subform and another subform
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with three subforms, and I'm having problem with one of them. The link between subforms and forms are store number, which is stored in a combo box. Idealy, after a user pick a store from the combo box, the subform would update itself. Two out of the three subforms are based on two crosstab queries and they work perfectly fine. The last subform is a select query, and it seems like it's not rerunning itself after updating the combo box. The query is very simple, it just has store number, description, and grouped by amount. I tried with no criteria in the store field and run the masterform,seems like all it's doing is showing value for the first store in the table, and never changes afterwards, I also tried entering "forms!frmStores!cmbStore" in the criteria for the store, then the subform came out empty, it seems like it's only reading combo box's default value null. I have a line of code for the mater form frmStores as "me.[DisplaySubform].requery" for all three subforms, but it seems like it's working for the first two and not the select query. Anybody can help me with this? oh, the combo box is unbounded, because i do not want my table to be updated by selection. Please help

I have almost completed my database, everything I had originally intended to implement into it has been done, with some extra added features I popped in along the way. There is just one more thing I require assistance with...
My database is used for booking camera kits in and out. On the add booking form the user has to pick a "Camera Type" from a combo box. When they have made their selection, a form pops up with details of all of the components contained within the kits. The user can then check/uncheck the relevant components and close the form.
I have used a command button which prints off the data contained within the current booking form, and also the data contained in the form that pops up when the camera type is selected.
However, as there are more than 1 different types of camera, comprising different components, I need to be able to print off the form relevant to the kit type.
I do not know how I can do this as I have just specified the command button to print the form for the default kit.
I basically need some VB code which will print the form based on my combo selection, as my knowledge of VB is pretty primitive, I was wondering if someone could help me out :)
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi all,
Is there any way of enabling/disabling a number of text boxes/checkboxes, based on a combo box selection, for example:
Combo Box 1: Airport Selection
Combo Box 2: Customer Selection
Once the user has selected the customer, based on the airport selection there will be about 10 text boxes and a few checkboxes that I'd like to allow or "ghost" depending on whether we are contracted to carry out work for that customer.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks, Graeme
I'm not new to object oriented programming but I am new to Access. I have found some questions similar to mine in search but I need more explanation if someone wouldn't mind.
In my form, I have a combo box that looks up 3 values from another table. Among other controls, I have a few text boxes that I only want visible if 1 of the 3 possible combo box options are selected.
I understand that the code for this should probably be placed in the "events" of the of the combo box...which one? I understand the logic but what would the code look like? Do I use the expression builder?
Thanks for any help on this.
I have a form on which i make a selection. This selection then populates a query which in turn generates a report. The problem that i have is that when i go back into my form and make another selection the query, and therefore the report, holds the original data.
My question is how can i refresh the selection and therefore produce different reports based on this selection without exiting the application?
Many thanks for any help provided in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't quite get my code right for populating one combo box based on the selection in another. I didn't create this Access database but I've been asked to add in a second combo box that is based on the selection of the first combo box.
My first combo box is for Rohe (the location of the Maori tribe) and the second is Iwi (the tribe name). So my first combo box (Rohe) has Dvic_ROHE written in the control source and its row source code is:
SELECT tblLookUpValues.DatabaseFieldValue
FROM tblLookUpValues INNER JOIN tblFormQuestionLookUp ON tblLookUpValues.LookUpID = tblFormQuestionLookUp.LookUpID
WHERE (((tblFormQuestionLookUp.FormID)=2) AND ((tblFormQuestionLookUp.QuestionNumber)=75))
ORDER BY tblLookUpValues.DisplayOrder;
The combo box for Rohe (tribe location) is populated by a table named tblLookUpValues. The second combo box for Iwi (tribe) has Dvic_Iwi in the control source. I created a table named tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup that contains ROHE (a list of tribe locations) and IWI (the tribes). There are 12 tribal locations and another 10-14 tribes in each location.
The form that the Rohe and Iwi combo boxes are located on is called frmDeceased. This is the code that I attempted to write so that the second combo box (Iwi) is populated with only the tribes that are in the Rohe (location) that was selected from the Rohe combo box. But when I run the query it comes back with no results.
SELECT distinct tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup.Rohe, tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup.Iwi
FROM tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup
WHERE (((tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup.Rohe)=[forms]![frmDeceased]![Dvic_Rohe])) UNION select distinct null, null
FROM tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup
ORDER BY tbl_Rohe_Iwi_lookup.Iwi;
I am trying to get a report based on a selection from a combo box. The issue is many fold. Firstly I have been playing around with it so much that I have messed up the syntax and can't remember what I had. Here is what I have at the moment (this is based on a button):
DoCmd.OpenReport "RepClassrooms", acViewPreview, , " Class = '" & Me.cmboRepClass & "'"
The second issue is that it isn't filtering on the combobox - it gives all the data from the database based on all the entries in the combobox but this is probably down to the syntax again.
I am trying to auto populate the text boxes in the form based on drop down from the combo box. As you can see in the form Frm_Input, this works fine for FL, but for some reason it will not populate for Skill, Role, FLM and Location. The table it is linking to is Tbl_Names. Why as I have changed the column source?

I need to create a command button that can be used to see all of the data in the table for whatever name is selected in a combo box. For example, if John Smith is selected from the combo box, the user could click a "More Info" button, which will open a separate form showing all the data in the table for John Smith.

I need to print a specific form based on the selection made on a combo box.
I have been able to set it up to open the relevant form when the user selects an option from the combo box, but am unable to find a way to be able to print the specific report based on the selection.
I have a command button which prints a report based on the data in my current form, but would like it to also print the specific form based on the combo box selection.
Is this possible, and if so how is it possible?

Hello,
I'm stuck! I want to create a form which has a combo box where you select
someone's name, and their address appears in another text box on the same form. The names and addresses are in a table called "cardholders".
I'm doing separate combos for first name, surname cos I think that's the only
way you can do it.
The fields in the table are credit_add, credit_name & credit_surname. The combos are called "cardholder name" "cardholder surname" etc. This is the code in the text box where I want the address to appear:-
=DLookUp("[credit_add]","cardholders","[credit_name] = '" & [cardholdername] & "' And [credit_surname] = " & [cardholdersurname])
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I am struggling to pull out a report based on the combo box selection. I have NOI database and want to pull out a report for a specific customer that how many NOIs are generated by this customer..
I have a separate table of customer and another table of NCRs and the customer information comes from customer table.
I have tried the below statement but gives me an error message:
code for Macro that pulls the report in click event:
[CustomerName]=[forms]![CustName]![combocust1]
do i need to mention the report as well in some where in report ?
I have two forms linked together.
frmMaterialRequest
MaterialRequest
Status
frmHandledBy
MaterialRequest
HandledBy
What I want is to meet the following:
- Form 2 to be locked but its "MaterialRequest" is enabled.
- HandledBy to be unlocked if the MaterialRequest meets the "Status" of "frmMaterialRequest" which is "Approved".
I have "donations" form with a cbo called "DonationType".
(frmDonations.DonationType)
General
Employee Match
Employer Match
Angels*
Friends*
Royal Crown*
The last three options need to redirect the user to a different form used for pledged donations.
