I can't get my choices to display--only the Headers. In the selected field I choose combo box and choose the table to look up in the row source. The data columns are first in the table and their ID is last, but I only get the Header to display in the box. If I deselect header, I get an emply list
There are actually 7 columns in the look up table (the eighth is the ID) and 10 rows of possible choices.
Column Count: 7
Headers: Yes (or no doesn't matter)
Bound Column: 1 (changing doesn't matter)
Limit to List: No (so I can add)
What am I missing in the properties setting?
Also, can I use one of the columns in the look up table as a primary sort on a report? Or will it see the whole string of columns as one?
I have an access table and I want the code that will check two columns in the table "EnvelopeType" and "EnvelopeSize" and create headers in Excelsheet automatically. In the attached workbook, like in sheet1 the headers are already appeared, I want this to be done dynamically using vba code so that if new values get inserted in EnvelopeType and EnvelopeSize then we won't have to change the code to display more headers.
Please see attached workbook named Sample and Access table. E.g.
EnvelopeType EnvelopeSize TNT 2nd Class C5 PP1 2nd Class C5 PPI 1st Class A4 Recorded A4 TNT 2nd Class C5 PP1 2nd Class C5 Recorded A4 PPI 1st Class A4 Recorded C5
With the code it should display following headers in excel sheet:
TNT 2nd Class C5 PP1 2nd Class C5 PPI 1st Class A4 Recorded A4 Recorded C5
I'm working with several different source datasets. Mostly this are TXT files.
When I import the data in a new table with a specification, I want to validate if the dataset is the correct dataset be validating the headers in the source data.
I have created a table with the headers, that consists of 92 columns. Below 3 example columns of the header data:
Now I want to check during the import of the imported data has a line in it that is equal to the data in the table headers. If not, the import stops and informs the user that the data set is not correct. This to prevent that incorrect data will be inserted into the database.
Some extra information: The data is import into the database via VBA DoCmd.TransferText into a new created table, using an inport specification.
If the data is okay, it will be appended to an existing table that is being used to process the data further. After that the import table is being deleted.
I have a table with application records. One of the fields captures schools the applicant will work at. This field stores data in comma delimited format. There could be 1 school name; there could be 5 school names.
My ultimate goal is to build a report which shows me records of all applications, grouped by school choice. I want to see: School A was selected by 5 people, School B was selected by 7, etc.
Is it possible to write a query from this table that will enable this?
I have a table which has around 25 columns having unic headings (tble name - Worked_File). All I need to do is populate only the headings of all the coulumns through a button click to a list box.
I am in the process of developing a pivot table with grouping per month per year which works just fine. However, I would like to rename the column header items. It will not allow me.
The scenario: the data is from a query that deprives data from two tables (Date from Table A) and (TypeID from Table B: Query will show TypeID in text format based on SELECT to show data in text format not numeric format).
The struggle: Renaming the column headers which shows the TypeID in numbers based on its ID (the first column of Table B), not its Description (the second column of the Table B).
The question: How do I make the column headers to show the TypeID in text based on its Description in the second column of the Table B?
I have a table of items for our companies quotes. When we go to print out our quotes to send to the customers, the salespeople would like most of the items to be grouped under certain "headers" for the systems they are part of.
Ex:
Autopilot System Part #1 Qty 2 Part #2 Qty 1
PA/GA System Part #4 Qty 4 Part #5 Qty 1
My 'Items' table currently has these fields:
ID (PK) System_ID (FK for 'Systems' table) Part_No Qty
etc...
'Systems' table has these:
ID (PK) Sys_Description
I have a query using a RIGHT JOIN and a GROUP BY to tie everything together, I'm just not certain how to go about displaying the information the way I did above.
how data is best structured in Access.I have a table of values (for instance: weight) and I need to be able to look up a weight based on the column header (age) and row header (height).How is this sort of data best structured and accessed in Access?
When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?
Hi all I have been nutting out this problem but have been unable to find a solution, even my learned colleague is at a loss to help. This is an data update query using combo boxes and forms. I have 2 databases, Data and App, I have linked 2 tables, Main and Supervisor from the Data.mdb to the App.mdb. Supervisor has 2 fields ID and Name. Main has multiple fields but is linked to Supervisor by the ID field. I have a query that gets details from the Main Table and this is entered into a form. I deleted the SupervisorID text box and inserted a combo box using the wizard, it gets its data from a query that gets details from the Supervisor table showing the Supervisor name, the ID field in the dropdown is hidden. The combo box selection is held in the SupervisorID of the Main table. What I want to do is change the Supervisor name using the combo box however I am unable to select another name from the dropdown list. I have tried changing the Data Entry property of the form to Yes, this did not work. Allow edits is set to yes. I have tried adding another combo box which gets the data straight from the Supervisor table but I have the same problem. Can anyone help, we think it is a simple property setting but all we have tried has failed to date. Thanks in advance. Craig
I'm having trouble with some code. I have two combo boxes on my form. When a user selects a value in the first combo box, I want it to find the information for the corresponding record in the table. Then, in the second combo box, if the user selects one of two values (two full names), I would like that value to be written to the table for the corresponding record of the first combo box. I'm not sure how to transfer data from what the user selects in the second combo box to the table. I've inserted a command button called "Update Table". When user clicks on this button, the table should be updated with the 2nd combo box's value. Please help!
I have an existing FORM called Evaluations where you can select a trainer and a trainee from two different combo boxes. Once a name is selected from both of the combo boxes I click on an assign button and I want it to record those two names selected into my evaluations table in the Trainer_Name and Trainee_Name columns.
I have a small database, that I would like to use a combo box to allow user to select a value based upon values already entered on table, and then if value is not found enable the user to enter a new value that will then become part of the selection for future record adds.
I have two combo boxes that contain data from one table.
table has two fields: Name and ID
cboName cboID
I would like both combo boxes to update each other.
Example if start typing in the cboName box it fills in after update I would like the cboID to be updated with the correct value and vise versa if i start typing the ID in the cboID box when selected the cboName should be updated.
example table ID NAME 1 joe 2 jane 3 mark
So if i type in or select 1 in the ID combo box it should put 'joe' in the Name combo box.
Or if i type in or select jane in the NAME combo box it should put '2' in the ID box.
I have read how to cascade combo boxes but that is not what i think i need.
I would like to filter a data from a table using a combo box in a form.
The field I would like to filter is called ManufacturersID in MainTable and consist of text and wildcard characters [e.g., Teledyne O&G (ODI), TE Connectivity (Deutsch), etc...], so are the combo strings which are extracted from the table ManufacturersTable. It is not filtering anything. I suspect that the wildcards and spaces are the problem. I also tried to get the combo string to a text box in the form and use it in the query with no success. Additionally, I also tried Like [Forms]![FormName]![textbox] in query criteria but still not filtering...

I am adding a combo box to a form with data sourced from a table. Everything seems ok but when I select an option from the combo list and move to the next record the selection is repeated there also. How do I get to select a different option in the next record?
i have a standard database with tblProducts, order, employees, customers, suppliers etc. i also have a table called tblperson with personID which acts as a one, with the many in three different tables (customers, suppliers and employee) the person table holds data such as first name last name address city postcode and phone. now, ive created a form called frmPerson that acts as a adding data to my database. ive got a load of buttons a working add, delete and a save button, i also have the option to switch through records next, last, end and first. now basically in this form i want to be able to add data i.e. fill out the text boxes and then have a combo box or something similiar that when i add the data i can basically click an option the says 'employee' 'supplier' or 'customer' and then the data gets added to my person table however the difference is that it will also be associated to the record in the wanted table.
What I am trying to do is create a data entry form to an "order table" using 2 cascading combo boxes. I have created a data entry form based on a query. I can't get the cascading combo boxes to work properly.Here is the code:
Private Sub Combo0_AfterUpdate() Combo2.RowSource = "SELECT L2_ID,L4_Element_name,L5_Category FROM qry_ord WHERE L3_ID = Combo0.Value;" Combo2.DefaultValue = [Combo2].[ItemData](0) Command4.SetFocus End Sub
Hello all, Is it possible to add logos and headers to mdb tables. This is required because the tables are to be printed out and presented. The database itself is manipulated through java swing, so I would like the table to be ready to print out when opened. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
I have a switchboard that points to other switchboards (sub switchboards so to speak). I'm looking to change header title depending on what I group on that switchboard. However, when if I change one of them I change them all. Example: The main switchboard has a header of "switchboard". I have a sub switchboard that I would like to name "Report Switchboard". If I do that it changes all of them, not just the one that I want. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Eddie.
P.S.
In looking through the forums for this answer I found this awesome thread about to jazz up a database. Thanks to any of you that put suggestions on there.
I am attempting to create my first crosstab query in design view. Adding a simple row and column header and one value, I always get the error message 'Too many crosstab column headers (454)'. What am I doing wrong? Here is the SQL:
TRANSFORM Sum(Forecast.QTY) AS SumOfQTY SELECT Forecast.HECI FROM Forecast GROUP BY Forecast.HECI PIVOT Forecast.QTY;
How would I go about creating a datasheet style form with 'sort by' headers
for example:
I could create a form with a list box sorted by 'name' by default. If i wanted the same data to appear but sorted by 'Address' or 'Phone Number' how would I go about this?
Many databases give a datasheet view of the data where you can sort by clicking the appropriate header... how could this be achieved in access?
