Hi All. I'm Sure this is simple enough, but i just cant seem to figure it out.
I want to use a Combo dropdown box with Codes FC000 - FC900. to return records in a second drop down box that begins with the Letters selected in the first dropdown box.
So When a Record is Selected in ComboBox1 eg: (FC0**), ComboBox2 brings up the record to match (FC000).
I have a form that using a combo box to select specific record, sometimes we need to see all records, i would like if the combo box if left empty to return all records. I typed this expression but it returns no records when combo box is empty.
If i use this expression i get the wrong results when a Loan Officer ID is enterd; LIke([Forms]![FrmReports]![LoanOfficer] & * Example of wrong results, if Loan officer Id is 1, then it returns loan officers 1,11, 111
I have seen a few articles here and there on using a combo box to filter records in a sub-form and to filter records in another combo box, but I am not getting anywhere. I hope someone can belp
Exercise 1
For this exercise, I have the following tables:
tblClients containing client names tblProjects containing some project details
I want to set up a simple form, so that the user can select a client name from a combo box on the main form which filters the project detail records in the Projects sub-form. Once the user enters project details, I want this info as well as the selected ClientID to be fed back to tblProjects.
Exercise 2
I have the following tables:
tblProjects as above tblWorkstream containiig names of workstreams and some other details.
Every project has one or more workstreams
I have a form where users will enter hours worked on each workstream. They will first select Project from a combo box on the main form. This should then filter records to be displayed in the Workstream Combo box, before they can then enter hours.
Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of this better.
Thanks in advance.
ps. I am a novice, so I'm hoping to do the above using default MS stuff, not with complex programming!!!
My combo boxes are not returning the actual combo box values back to my table, instead in the table it is displaying the combo box data list number i.e 1,2,3,1,5,1 etc where it should be displaying a property address.
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 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 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
I have a Suppliers database which contains a form that will allow me to place orders with Suppliers.The Main form has a combo box that allows me to select the supplier. The combo box is called SupplierID with the following:
Row source: SELECT Suppliers.SupplierID, Suppliers.CompanyName FROM Suppliers ORDER BY Suppliers.CompanyName;
The subform is called Stock Subform witha combo box called ProductID with the following:
Row source: SELECT DISTINCT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Products.Discontinued FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID=Products.SupplierID WHERE (((Products.Discontinued)=0)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName; Event Procedure - AfterUpdate: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_AfterUpdate Dim strFilter As String ' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function. strFilter = "ProductID = " & Me!ProductID
[code]..
The Link fields are done on the Purchase Order ID (PONoID).What I want to achieve is to select the supplier from the combo box (SupplierID) on the main form and then the combo box (ProductID) on the subform to filter to only show products directly supplied by the Supplier selected on the Main Form.
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237" If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
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 want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID. 2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type FROM Order_Type INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).
I'm an extreme newbie, I do not know access very well, nor do I know VBA, I do know PHP.
I have a for in access that has 2 user input fields, one for prodid one for shipid. I have a combo box that upon entering data into the previous 2 fields, it does a query against an MsSQL database looking for a record that has both. In any case there will only be 2 outcomes, either 1 record, or null. I would like to have that same combo box automatically use the result as it's value so that users don't have to check the box, because they won't, and so that the rest of my VBA will be able to function properly.
I would like to set up rules/constraints such that the value selected in combo box A determines the available values in combo box B. For example, "Combo box A" is bound to the [PartnerType] field and "Combo box B" is bound to the [PartnerRole] field. Let's say that the two choices in Combo Box A are "LLC", "LP", and "Corporation". There are 5 possible choices in Combo Box B: "X", "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U". If a user selects "LP" in Combo Box A, I would like Combo Box B to only show choices "X" and "Y". And if a user selects "LLC", only choices "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U".
Similarly, I would like to set this up so that Combo Box B is not initially visible--it becomes visible when a user selects "LLC" or "LP". If a user selected "Corporation", Combo Box B would remain hidden.
I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.
ok so I want a form that has a combo box with [item_id, item_name] on each row that i select. when i select one it displays the relevant quantity and allows me to edit the quantity.
I have a data entry screen that requires the user to select a assessment type from a combo box that gets its values from a separate table. So far i have 3 Assessment types, these are Quality, Manufacturing and Technical.
If the assessment type they want is not is the combo box list. I want them to be able to type in the assessement type in the combo box and have it saved to the assessment type list so that in future it will be availible directly from the combo box.
Any ideas on how i can do this as it's giving me a head ache....
In my database I've got a table containing 648.000 movie titles (movie_id, title). this table is the datasource for a combo box in a form which connects the movie to a person (or an object, i.e. file, article etc.).
when typing the first few characters in the combo box (to add a new movie to a person), the combo box narrows down the selection accordingly. but if the title requires more characters to by typed to narrow down the selection to the required one (i.e. "a,m,e,r,i,c,a,n, ,p.e.r" for "american perfect) and I'm typing to fast, it happens that (after pressing TAB to confirm the selection) access (2000) presents the error message "the microsoft jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time". after confirming the message, it keeps popping up several times until I change focus to a different master record.
needless to say that I'm the only user using the database. despite of the error message, ms access saves the record properly in the underlying table, but doesn't display it in the form (change to a different record, change back and it's there).
I suspect that there's a background process, scanning the titles table for records matching my (typed-in) selection criteria which conflicts with the insertion of the new record into the person_on_movie table.
I already tried to compress and repair the database, but it didn't help.
Any ideas how to overcome this problem ? maybe by implementing the lookup manually, in VBA ? (reducing the number of records is not an option ;-) )
I was wondering how would we change the forms row source everytime a new new item is selected in a combo box.
For instance here is a table:
ID Name Status 1 Joe Active 2 Fred Inactive 3 Sam Inactive
So if the names were to be displayed in a combo box and the status is represented by a option group. How could I make the combo box change the record instead of having to use the record selector
I am having trouble getting a combo box to go to a selected record on a form. It basically ignores the selection. I have successfully used the combo box to do searches on other forms. The only difference I'm noticing is that form I'm using has multiple records for the search criteria.
how I can modify this code to make it filter results in a combo box by what the user types in to search for.
Private Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate() With Me.RecordsetClone .FindFirst "[FirstName]=""" & Me.txtSearch & """ OR [Lastname]=""" & Me.txtSearch & """" If .NoMatch Then Beep
What code do I need to delete a record using a form and a combo box. I need to be able to link the selection in the combo box to a button that, when pressed, will delete the selected record.
Information:
Account Executive Combo Box - select an account executive based on a table (that contains only account executives and an autonumber)
I have a form with a combo box, whose afterupdate code is:
Private Sub CustomerName_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Recordset Dim person As String {This will contain the SQL Statement} person = "select people.department from people where people.name='" &
CustomerName.Value & "'" Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(person) {Now the following are combo/text boxes that are populated} Department.Value = rs("department") InputDate = Date InputTime = Time
My code works: when you select something in CustomerName combo box, the other
boxes in the record get populated with data. The problem is that ALL the records in the
form get populated with this data as well... I want the records to be independent of each other - that each record will be filled
I have an unbound combo box in the header of a continuous form. The box is set to value list, and when you select a value, the recordsource of the form is changed. This works fine.
However, if I there are no records in the underlying form, the combo box is blank. If I check the value in the immediate window or the after update, I can see that it is set properly and contains a value, it just doesn't display it. I am using Access 2000. I have tested on Access 2003 and cannot replicate the problem.
I have found one post here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=84423&highlight=combo+box+blank) on the topic.
I found this (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287478) article on Microsoft which has my symptoms, but I am not opening a recordset.
