Cannot Select Item In Combo Box ?!?!?!?

Oct 24, 2006

Have a subform:
Name: frmProjectSub1
Default View: Continuous Forms

A combo box within the subform:
Name: cboProjectName
Control Source: Nothing
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT ProjectName FROM tblProjects WHERE tblProjects.Status LIKE "*" ORDER BY ProjectName;
Column Count: 1
Bound Column: 1
Visible: Yes
Enabled: Yes
Locked: No
Allow AutoCorrect: Yes
Tab Stop: Yes
OnClick Event:
Private Sub cboProjectName_Click()
With Me.frmProjectSub1.Form
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[ProjectName] = " & Me.cboProjectName
If Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Can't find task " & Me.cboProjectName
Else
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
End With
End Sub

Within the continous form, if I name the Control Source as ProjectName, and traverse through the records, the value in the combo box changes to the current selected row.

Problem: In the combo box, I do get the dropdown list of projects, when I click on a project - Nothing Happens! The listbox stays open on the item that I clicked on -- does not close-up and put the selected item in the combobox window. I'm stumped...

How To Select An Item In COMBO BOX Programatically?

May 13, 2005

hi All..

I could set the Combobox.Value to one of the values in the combo box and combo box displays that value. But when I try to use Combobox.Value subsequently it does not have any value. I noticed that the value property is populated only when the combox box item is manually selected(highlighted).

How can I highlight the selection in a combo box?

Thanks in advance

Queries :: Unable To Select Item From Combo Box

Feb 2, 2015

So I have this form with a combo box which successfully displays a range of items from which I would like to select from - but unfortunately I cannot. I cannot select anything from the combo box.

I have checked the form and table to ensure I have edit rights - which I do.

The form is based on a query - attached is a picture of the relationships within the query.

I assume I have created a non updateable query but this is only an assumption.

I am lost about the best course of action to take. Is there a way to identify the problem?

Do I just cut my loses and recreate the functionality somehow?

Modules & VBA :: Programmatically Find And Select Item In Multi Select List Box

I Just Want To Select An Item In A Listbox!!

May 9, 2005

Hi Everyone!

I'm having problems and am frustrated as usual ;)

I'm trying to select a specific row in a listbox in the OnKeyDown event on my form. Basically, while in a subform, I want the enter key to move the focus to the list box, specifically to row After the last selected.

Here's an example of the code I thought would work:

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Dim ItemNumber As Integer

ItemNumber = Forms![Product Inventory System]![InvList3] + 1

If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
Forms![Product Inventory System]![InvList3].ItemData(ItemNumber).SetFocus

Else

End If
End Sub

I just started the Atkins diet today, so my sugar and caffiene levels are non-existant. (Seems like an easy excuse, right?)

Can anyone offer any insight into what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you so much!

'#Name?' And Inability To Select An Item

Jan 26, 2006

I have a combo box whose RowSource is set to

SELECT [Part Numbers].[Part Number], [Part Numbers].[Part Description], [Part Numbers].[Supplier Name] FROM [Part Numbers];

When I go to the Properties window and click on '...' to check the results of this query, I see exactly what I expect to. Likewise, clicking on the combo's drop-down arrow displays the data correctly.

However, when the combo box is displayed on it's Form, #Name? is always displayed and, while I can view the items in the list, I am unable to select any of them.

I've got a feeling this is going to be a simple correction, but I can't work out what's wrong and it's bl**dy infuriating.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Is It Possible To Select The Same Item Twice Using A MultiSelect List Box

Jun 29, 2007

I would like to be able to create a recipe (saved in its own table) by pulling items from a multiselect list box (from the raw materials table) but which allows me to add the same ingredient more than once.

I work for a chemical manufacturing company and we need to track the cost of goods by recipe (final product), by linking the ingredients (where the cost of the raws are associated) to the final prodcut. Several of our products need to have chemicals added in the beginning, but then again at the end of the procedure unlike normal kitchen recipes.

(I sure hope I don't have to learn VBA . . . I'm totally new at Access!)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Forms :: How To Select Item In A List Box Using VBA

Dec 30, 2014

I want to select an item in a listbox that has a specified value when I open the form that contains this listbox. Most I've found describes selecting records based on their index value but I want to select an item according to the actual value that's displayed in the listbox. For example, the first number below is the index value, the 2nd is the number I'm interested in and the 3rd is another column in the listbox:

0 1 12345
1 2 33256
2 4 36280

I'm using the OpenArgs property to pass the value (a long integer primary key) to the opening form but I don't know the syntax or correct terminology for ensuring the specified row is selected in the listbox. At present, using the above example, if I want to select the row with the value 2, it's selecting the 3rd row rather than the 2nd.

Modules & VBA :: How To Select Item From A Listbox

Jul 29, 2013

At the moment I have a query that returns a result based on what's selected in a combobox.

SELECT ComponentT.ComponentType AS ComponentType
FROM ComponentT
WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_ComponentNameCmb] & "*"));

Instead of this I want to rewrite the query to return a result based on what the user has selected in a list box of items. How would this query look. Would I need to increment it in a loop checking all entries into the list box as it can vary in size and if so how?

I tried changing the last line to WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_OutputLsb].[ItemsSelected] & "*")); which returned a result just not the right one. Is there something wrong with the syntax?

General :: Select Item Number From Drop Down Box To Create A Report

Jun 27, 2012

I'm currently working on fixing an older 97 database that I've updated to 2010. I have just populated the Drop down box with about three fields. Ideally what I want to do is after having selected the item number from the drop down box I then hit the button that creates a report with the information about that item number.

At the moment...If the box is blank it reports all the item numbers, however if i fill the box(select an item) it returns nothing i.e the report is blank.

I've looked at the query that builds the report, there are only three fields that populate the. location, part number and description. from a tbl called MainDetails

the only other thing:
If([Forms]![frmReports]![FLoc] Is Null,[FUNCTIONAL LOCATION] Is Not Null,[FUNCTIONAL LOCATION] Like [Forms]![frmReports]![FLoc])
it has a criteria of <>False
*FLoc is the drop down box *functional location is the location field.
I believe all the above does is populate the report if Floc is empty.

What can I put to make the report generate what ever I pick in the drop down box 'FLoc' source the three fields from the 'MainDetails table'.

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.

Selecting Item From Combo Box

Jun 5, 2005

Not sure what to search for so I thought Id write a new post:

I have a combo box which selects 3 items-

Primary key, Surname, Firstname

After an item is selected, the fields are populated according to the item.

Since there will be many records, it would be nice if the user can begin typing the surname and have predictive text, so the three items should then be-

Surname, Firstname, Primary key

So my question is, how do I get at the primary key if it is not selected?

myText = dlookup("myValue", "myTable", "primarykey = '" & ???? & "'")

If this does not make sense, what I am trying to say is:

The surname is selected, but I want to do a calculation based on the primary key so I get all the data associated with that user. I cant use the surname because there are duplicates.

Thank you

COMBO BOX : Specifying Item Not In List

Jun 22, 2006

Hi everyone,

I have a form with a field named TREATMENT with the following options :-

1 Cryotherapy
2 Radiotherapy
3 Chemotherapy
4 None
5 Other (specify)

If the 5th option (Other) is selected, the user is required to specify what 'Other' represents.

I have created a combo box with the first 4 options and in instances of 'Other' the user can enter specific treatment that is not in the list (1 to 4).

What I would like to do is whenever the user enters a value that is not on the list (1 to 4), I would like to insert the word OTHER in front of the value entered. In other words all values not on the list will be prefixed by 'OTHER'.
E.G. if 'Surgery' is entered, I would like the value 'OTHER : Surgery' to be stored in the Treatment field of the table.

This will help in the generation of statistics from the table.

Any suggestions??

Many thanks in advance.


Will

Modules & VBA :: Event Handler For Mouse Right Click And Select?

Aug 11, 2014

I want to handle the event when I right click and choose "Paste" to pop up a message to the user that he cannot paste; disabling the pasting functionality.

I understand that the Button parameter refers to right or left button , but on which event to best use (mouse up ,mouse down , mouse move - as it seems to be a mixture of the three) and the code for that event.

Code:
Private Sub List_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
' See if the right mouse button was clicked
If Button = acRightButton Then
'DoCmd.CancelEvent
'do event here
End If
End Sub

I don't want to cancel after there is a right click , but rather after right clicking and choosing "Paste".

Updating New Item Into A Combo Box List

Aug 24, 2006

Hi,

I am using a combo box in my form. It is a growing combo box allowing new entries to be entered to create a growing list.

When new entries are made to the combo box list they are only displayed when I quit the form and then return to it. Is there any way I could allow the combo box list to grow dynamically rather than having to get the user to quit the form and then return to it?

Many Thanks
Turbojohn

Hello,

Didnt know where to start or what direction to head in. I have a combo box on one of my forms. It works fine, but would am looking for an added feature.

I am looking to get the following started:

There are 5 items in the list of my combo box. If the user selects the item called "Lost Opportunity", then how do I get an additional combo box to show up underneath it with reasons the sales opportunity was lost.

Have Combo Box Show First Item On List

Oct 20, 2004

I have made a few cascading combo-boxes that dynamically change based on the data entered into the field above them.. Example:

A SKU is entered, the combo-boxes pull the information for that sku from one or more tables (using SQL Query).

Now... I am having trouble getting these fields to show the first item in the list of possible item specifics. Everything comes in fine, however, I need to form to refresh and repopulate the fields one the SKU loses focus.

Any Ideas?
