Hiya! So, I have a form with a cascading combo-ish type solution. In actuality it's an option group that helps feed a combo-box. The option group, however, is unbound and the two choices represented in it span several choices elsewhere.
The field I'm reducing with a cascading solution is my [ExpenseCode]field. Each [ExpenseCode] is assigned one of 6 [ExpenseType]'s, numbered 0-6. Deductible expenses range from 1-4, non-deductible expenses cover 5, and 0 is used only by the system in the creation of dummy records and is unnecessary to the data-entry form. Using the [ExpenseType] directly would be confusing to the end user but is important to us during aggregation.
I am attempting to use an option group to simply select "Deductible" or "Non-Deductible" from the listed fields and have my combo-box update itself in kind.
The form is: frmExpenseLogsEntry
The option group is: optExpense1 (where Non-Deductible=1 and Deductible=2)
The combo-box in question is: cboExpense
The table with the combo-source is: lkupExpenseCode
The field I'm populating the combo-box with is: ExpenseCodeID
And the qualifying field is: ExpenseTypeID
The SQL I was using for my control source is as follows:
SELECT lkupExpenseCode.ExpenseCodeID,
FROM lkupExpenseCode
WHERE (((lkupExpenseCode.ExpenseTypeID)=IIf([Forms]![frmExpenseLogEntry]![optExpense1]=1,5,Between 1 and 4)));
but Access keeps changing it and erroring. I think I've figured it out enough to know that this type of statement won't work but I'm a bit stuck for an alternate idea.
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 form F_EXTRACT whose record source is a table named T_EXTRACT. The form contains 2 controls, a Text Box named Surname and a Combo Box named Member_ID. Column 1 of the combo box is bound to Member_ID (in the T_EXTRACT table). Column Count is set to 3. In Row Source, I have the following SQL statement:-
SELECT [T_MEMBER].[Member_ID], [T_MEMBER].[Surname], [T_MEMBER].[Initials] FROM T_MEMBER WHERE ((([T_MEMBER].[Surname])=[Forms]![F_EXTRACT]![Surname])) ORDER BY [T_MEMBER].[Surname], [T_MEMBER].[Initials];
I wish to populate T_EXTRACT with selected Member_IDs but as the MEMBER_ID table contains many hundreds of records need to reduce the search through the display in the combo box.
The above method (by entering a surname in the Surname text box) works fine for the first entered surname but second and subsequent surname entries result in the details for the first entered surname being displayed in the combo box.
I've tried binding Surname to a field in the F_EXTRACT table but this makes no difference.
I have a form with a combo box on it and what I would like to do is when I click a command button, change the record source of the combo box from the query I currently have to a different one?
I want to have a Combo Box on a form, that derives its values from a Table, but does not send selected values to another table. I want to use the value selected in the combo box in VBA code.I have set up a combo box, without a control source, and it shows the values in the drop down list but after I select one the box just goes empty. I expected that after selecting a value that value would be displayed in the combo box (and that would then become the value of the combo box that I could then use in code. I.e, CmdBox1.Value). If so, what do I need to do so that the value selected is displayed (and becomes the value of the combo box?).
I have a combobox containing the "Field Names" of a table called "Main" Also, I have a report called xyz which only has one field.
All I want, whatever field name user selects in the combo, report displays the results of selected field name only.
example
Main Table has three fields (Fie1, Fie2 and Fie3) The combo box lists the names of all three fields (Fie1 to Fie3) Report has a textbox in the detailed section.
I want user to select the field name from combo click button to generate the report (lets say if user selected Fie2) and want textbox to list all the records of Fie2
i tried [Forms]![Fm1]! [cm1] but it is listing the field names not the values in the field...
I have a combo box control in my form named PayDateID, but I told that control to DISPLAY the associated field PayDate.
I now am trying to make a separate control in the same form whose control source is the DISPLAYED PayDate, but it only wants to reference the underlying PayDateID.
How can I make the control source be the displayed value in that combo box?
I've designed a data entry form based on a table. I use a few combo boxes, (linked via SQL statements for their row/source) to fill most of the fields in the table.
What I want to do is populate one textbox on the form with the contents of a field in one of the combo box's row/source tables. The field I want isn't shown in the combo box.
Basically, what I want is that when I choose a PART NUMBER from a combo box, I want the OEM_ID from the same table to jump into the textbox below it.
I think I may have tied myself in knots though to the point where what I want can't be done. Any ideas? I know this is probably going to take a couple of goes at explaining. :P
i have a list box with 6 columns. in column 6 there is a time field. on selecting this list box i want to set the value of a combo box to the time field.
This has no effect. I am not sure if i have done this correctly. but the combo box has manual values in it. the reason i want to have values in it is so if the treatment is 45 minutes at default. But i want to change it to 30 minutes just for a single occasion then i thought that this would be the way to do it.
I am programming a database for a reorganized group in my office. For whatever reason they want their correspondence letters within the Database instead of in Word templates. This way I can standardize their headings and automatically import data from their tables onto their letters.
For this reason I chose a form. I felt using a report wouldn't give them enough editing power. Almost all of the fields on this form are unbound and set to default values. I want to use a combo box so the worker can select the "letter type" they want from the drop down and it will automatically update the body of the letter with the standard format of that type of letter.
Just one problem--these letters are wordy, so the "content" field had to be a memo. I know you can't set memo fields to combo box columns, so I'm in a jam.
how I could populate this memo field into the unbound field using some kind of selector? It doesn't necessarily have to be a combo box.
I want to populate the memo field into the unbound box, but I don't want it to establish a link or control source because I don't want the worker modifying the original record (think of it as a template).
I have a set of cascading combo boxes. When a value is selected in Cat 1 ID, it narrows down the selections in Cat 2 ID which narrows down the selections in Cat 3 ID.
However, the values don't show up for columns Cat 2 ID or Cat 3 ID until I enter the row. Then I have it set to requery the fields because the underlying data isn't populated. But then when I leave the row, the values go away.
Why doesn't it show the underlying value from the table? Each column is bound to a field in a table - I would assume that the recorded value would show up. Did I miss something easy?
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
The ProjRevMRC field is an expression that reads:ProjRevMRC: IIf([ProjRevDate]>=DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1),[CurrentMRC]*[qry303a_ SFADetailMRC_ONLY]![Rev Flow Through],0)
When I run the query, it works perfectly, but when I created a crosstab query to show totals by month, I wanted the totals to be zero for the months less than the current month. Is there a way for the crosstab query to execute the expression and put zeroes for those months?
I am using a combo box in my form and its row source is set to Table A, however, the data in the combo box arent displayed in alphabetical order even though the data from Table A is sorted in ascending order.
can pls help me by teaching me How to display "row source" in combo box in alphabetical order??
I have a database which among other things records how jobs are received i.e.: Telephone, Email, Mail, Facsimile or Web.For each client I want to identify the percentages of each method of receipt against the total of jobs received and during different time periods.I have created a make table query for all jobs received between variable dates for a client entry of the name of the client and the start and finish dates are required to run the query.
I have a crosstab query set up to count each method of receipt and a final query to work out the percentages using the total from the crosstab query fields divided by the total of all methods.I have a macro set up to replace the table with new data when I want the stats for a different client between new dates, therefore the different methods of receipt may vary for the less active clients i.e.: they may only have telephone and email .
My problem is if I choose a client where we have not received a job by a particular method (say web or facsimile), the last query working out the percentages has fixed names to cover each method but naturally produces an error when it cannot find a corresponding method of receipt. I have experimented with NZ() without success.My question is can I either have preset standard names of the column field in a crosstab query? Alternatively in the query calculating the percentages, can I include code to ignore a non-existent field in the crosstab query.
I have those (simplified) tables that are linked with an n:m relation
persons:
#ID#FullName#
trainings:
#ID#startDate#
training_members:
#ID#trainingID#personID
Now I created a form to fill the training_members table with the participants. For the form I'm using a dropdown list filled with the names of the people from the persons table. What I now want is that the dropdown list only shows the values that are not already used before. So I changed the SQL statement of the row source property:
SELECT persons.ID, persons.FullName FROM persons WHERE persons.ID Not In (SELECT personID from training_members inner join trainings on training_members.trainingID = trainingsn.ID) ORDER BY persons.FullName;
I also added "me.recalc" to the after_update event of the dropdown list.
It does work - but there's one problem left: The SQL query doesn't include the just selected value. Because only values that are included in the list are accepted, the name of the person isn't shown in the dropdown.
Do you know how I can update the SQL statement so that the just selected entry is as well mentioned in the list? The abovementioned form is displayed as "Continuous Forms", so I don't know if it is possible to access the recordset the dropdowns are located into...
I'm in the process of learning to use Access and I would appreciate any help that can be provided. The problem that I am facing is that I have data in three different columns, and this cannot be changed. The database that I am creating links to another database to retrieve a table. This table contains two columns of data that are essentially the same for my purposes. I have also created a new table in my database which houses new data and also this will be the location where new records are be stored. Ideally what I'd like to have is a single table with the information from the three sources stored in a single column that updates as the linked table is changed. Is there a way to do this with a query? or should I be looking into another method? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
I have o form based on a query that I can search in for last name etc. And then I have a button for opening a report for the person that displays.
Here is the problem now: If I have two persons with the same last name I get a report of several pages also showing the person that is not displayed in the form but have the same last name. What can I do in the query just to get the person only on display showing on the form? ID is the primary key
Here's the root of all my troubles: SELECT EmployeeID, NewStoreID As HomeStore FROM [Store Change] AS SC WHERE EffectiveDate=( SELECT Max(EffectiveDate) FROM [Store Change] WHERE SC.EmployeeID=EmployeeID ); This query works perfectly fine by itself. It's supposed to find the most recent store ID for each employee and it does. However, if I use that query inside another query I get the error, "The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognize 'SC.EmployeeID' as a valid field name or expression." I've tried changing the original query slightly, but there isn't much I can do without ruining my functionality.
This is a question that is a bit complicated to describe, so I'll try my best.
I have a form with a 'List Box' and i am using 'Table/Query' to fill the box. The table I am using is, "Department;" where it contains a list of all company's departments(Accounting, HR, Payroll, etc.). Now one thing that is NOT listed in the department table is the word "ALL."
So since I have to have this word in the List Box, so users can select "ALL" in the form, I'll have to manually go into the "Department" table to add it in, everytime I need to refresh the table with updated departments.
Is there anything that I can do VBScript code wise or in the "Row Source" in design view that I can fix this issue?
I under some might ask, how hard is it do add this in manually? Please keep in mind the 'department' list box is only one of the 5 tables that I have to refresh at least once a week, so I don't want to have to manually go in everytime to input the word ALL five time.
I have some queries in a list. When I run one of them I would like to show result on form. I made a subform and I defined from code in runtime the actually selected query as the subform's source object. It didn't work. :( Why? How could I show a query's results on a form? If somebody could help me , I would be very grateful!
I’m trying to create a budgeting tool for my company. We operate in many countries and budget at the country level so I’ve set up a one-to-many relationship between my tblCOUNTRY and my tblEXPENSE. My tlbEXPENSE has fields ExpenseID, CountryID, Month, and Value.
In order to create a form where each country manager is able to fill out, and make changes to their budget for the next year I would like to create a crosstab query so they can have a horizontal view of the year broken out by month. The problem I’m running into is that crosstab queries are aggregates so they do not allow data entry.
The only solution I’ve thought of is to create a make table query from the crosstab query, but I still run into several problems. First, I need all twelve months to show on my crosstab even if there is not an expense yet for that month, and once I have it broken out by month how can I transpose it back into a form to be able to append it to my tblEXPENSE?
I don’t know if this is even possible with the way I have set up my tables. I guess first I’m wondering if I should change the setup of my tblEXPENSES so it has a field for each month although this would make it harder to do an annual budget rollup based on country? Or should I make a form in Excel for all the country managers to fill out, compile all the data, and append it to my database? Thanks in advance for any advice.
I've got the following query as the row source for a listbox on a main form. cboShootName is a combobox on that same form.
Code: SELECT DISTINCT QrySbfShotList.CamerasFK, tblCameras.CameraNum FROM QrySbfShotList INNER JOIN tblCameras ON QrySbfShotList.CamerasFK = tblCameras.CamerasID WHERE (((QrySbfShotList.shootsFK)=[me]![cboShootName])) UNION SELECT null, "(ALL)" FROM QrySbfShotList INNER JOIN tblCameras ON QrySbfShotList.CamerasFK = tblCameras.CamerasID WHERE (((QrySbfShotList.shootsFK)=[me]![cboShootName]));
When the form loads, it prompts for a value for me.cboShootName, even though I've given the list box a default value. More important, after the cboShootName is established, ie. in its after update event, if I put Me.lstCamera.requery (lstCamera is the list box in question), the system prompts me for the value of me!cboShootName. I know the cboShootName is in scope because I see its value with a msgbox diagnostic.
The first column of both the cboShootName and lstCamera refer to numeric fields. Both controls are unbound.
What am I missing? Is there a trick to referencing control values in a query?
