Combo Box To Allow Other Entries To Be Displayed
Aug 1, 2005
Hi,
I am trying to choose an entry from a COmbo Box which ahas a Lookuop underlying in it. I then want to display the additonal four entries in the form it self. The data is already created and displayed in a query. The primary key gets displayed but thte other data cannot be displayed. Is there any way I can display the other details eg: Firstname, Surname Age in the same form but under different fieldnames. I am not sure how to do this.
I could retype it all in but that is uneconomical. Any ideas? Please help.
Thanks.

I have a working combo box on a form that displays issue numbers for part number typed into a text box.This all works fine when the list of issue numbers is below the displayed list (16), but when the list is longer than 16 you cannot seem to select anything after item 16.
When the combo box has, say 25 items a scroll bar appears allowing the user to scroll down to item 25, but when you click the mouse the list just reverts back to the first 16 items? The only way to select an item after 16 is to select item 16 which then closes the combo box, then when you reopen it the list now shows items 17 to 25 which you can then select item 25.
This is the same in reverse, when you have item 25 selected, you cannot select item 1. When you click the mouse the list reverts back to items 17 - 25.The combo box is populated in code using the lost focus event on the text box for the part number.

Where in Access 2010 I can modify the displayed fields of a Combo Box on a form. I need to format the display window and add criteria to one of the fields. Can't remember where I set this up and recently upgrading from Access 2007 isn't working.

Nubie question ( first real database)
I'm trying to populate a combo box with the last few entries of a record. I've been looking on SQL Queries and can see a way of using SELECT TOP on the recordset but querying/sorting the whole record every time seems a very clumsey way of doing it (especialy if the recordset gets large).
So is there a more elegant way of getting lastrecord,lastrecord-1,lastrecord-2, etc into my combobox ?.
Note as a suplemental question is there a way of a subform showing records from last to first instead of what seems to be normaly first to last?
Thanks for any help.

hey,
sorry to bother everyone again, this is such a great forum, and ive gotten soo much help here.
i have a customer table, containing custRef, custName, drawerRef, Address, Phone, Fax
now it contains site addresses so the custName can be the same for quite a number of entries. no the combo box in my form obviously shows all entries for custName which means the same name repeated sometimes 6 or 7 times, as i only need to select one, is there a way without looking to different tables etc to just show unique entries. i dont want to list them all in another table because i dont know them all yet, so i want it to lookup the list as i enter them.
cheers

Hello
I am trying to get a 2nd combo working from the first .
I have a table called Keystage (tblKeystage) and I have also named my 1st combo cboKeystage. then by following the vba below I created another 6 tables with corresponding names and combo's.
Private Sub cboKeystage_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Select Case cboKeystage.Value
Case "Foundation"
cboYear.RowSource = "tblFoundation"
Case "KS1"
cboYear.RowSource = "tblKSOne"
Case "KS2"
cboYear.RowSource = "tblKSTwo"
Case "KS3"
cboYear.RowSource = "tblKSThree"
Case "KS4"
cboYear.RowSource = "tblKSFour"
Case "Post16"
cboYear.RowSource = "tblPost"
End Select
End Sub
The combo boxes both work, brilliant. My problem is that when I enter another record and make a selection from the 1st combo box, it changes all the records.
Could somebody please help.
Thanks
Wong

I seem to remember that there is a way, in a combo box, of entering an entry that isn't displayed in the combo box, so that you can then process that entry into a form's underlying table?
I think the example of doing this was in the MS Samples database for either Access 97 or Access 2000.
Does anyone recall what I'm talking about? Second question, does anyone have a link to those sample databases? Our technicians didn't bother loading the samples for us, so I'm kinda stuck.
Thank you tremendously to any and all who reply..... I'm looking forward to your responses!

I've got a combo box that lists duplicates. I want the dupes removed.
I went to the Query Builder for my Combo Box and set Unique Values from "No" to "Yes" - Saved, then re-opened the form. It still lists dupes.
I went back into Query Builder and unchecked the box for the Patient_ID (Autonumber) field. I saved it, then viewed the Datasheet for the Query, and it correctly lists the data I want WITHOUT dupes.
However, when I go to Form View, the combo box lists several blank entries..
The entries come back when I re-enable the Autonumber field in the Query.
This is what I currently have...
SELECT DISTINCT Patients.FullName FROM Patients ORDER BY Patients.FullName;

I have two tables and their associated forms. Agent Firm and Agent Person. I have created a one (Agent Firm) to many (Agent Person) relationship because a Firm can have many Persons (not vice versa).
I have also created a combo box autofill so that some of the information from the Agent Firm can be posted on the Agent Person.
Query one: I tried using text for the AutoFirm ID because each firm's name is unique. However, when I tried to see what happened if the firm changed its name, still having a unique value, I was not allowed to. Why? and can I over-rule this? For the time being I have used an autonumber as an ID, but I feel that is inefficient.
Query two: I have set up a combo-box, which works, using the following:
Private Sub cboAgentFirmID_Change()
Me.txtAddress1.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(2)
Me.txtAddress2.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(3)
Me.txtAddress3.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(4)
Me.txtTown.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(5)
Me.txtPostcode.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(6)
End Sub
I originally had a first line Me.txtAgentFirm.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(1) but deleted it because the AgentFirm is being entered in the AgentFirmID box (why??)
AgentFirmID, which is the autonumber primary key (see query 1) in Agent Firm is the link between the two tables in the relationship.
Query three: A major feature should be that if an AgentFirm changes its name, or address, phone number, etc this is reflected immediately across all related entries. And it does not happen: each one has be updated manually.
(Imagine if a bank changed its name and had to alter each account manually!) How do I make it work as I am sure it is meant to?

I'm quite new to creating a database. On my navigation form, I have a dropdown list/combo box that contains up to 16 possible selections. The user should be able to select more than one item, but can't, when using the navigation form. In the man form that this 'writes to' the selections can be made, with checkboxes in front of each item in the list; but not in the navigations sub-form. the Navigation sub-form only shows the list in a column. I don't see any properties that explicitly allow more than one suggestion or restrict to only one, so am I using the correct control?

I'm using Access 2010. I have a form that has a combo box. The combo box lists all employee names and one has to be selected. I've been adding employees over time as new employees come. This DB is 3 years old so there are many employees showing in the combo box selection that are no longer here. I'd like to only have the current employees visible but I do not want to just delete them from the Table because then the historic data wouldn't be complete. How can I only show the current employees in the combo box and maintain the data in the table?

I am trying to put together a form where employees will be entering maintenance information into my database. One of the requirements for this data is that when they perform repair work on an asset, they have to list a problem, cause and remedy. These are codes that are specific to each asset.
The closest thing I can think of to what I am trying to acheive is the selectors on car search websites. You select a MAKE, and then the MODEL list is narrowed down based on that, then you pick the TRIM, which is narrowed down based on the model selection. I have an Excel spreadsheet of the Assets(Failure Class), Problems, Causes, and Remedies...I'm just not sure how to put this into Access to get the desired output. I have attached a sample of the Excel spreadsheet for illustration.
I believe I'm going to have to put each of the columns in a seperate table and use relationships..but I'm not sure about that.

Hi,
I have a order system which allows customers to place items on. When an item is selected and a quantity has been entered and add button is selected, this adds the item into a listbox with all the details.
Each item that is selected a quantity is selected, this would then work out a total price and this total would be displayd within the list box too.
i want to add all the totals up for that order and have it displayed within a text box.
for example:
product ID, Name, quantiy, item price, totalcost
P0001 Top 5 1.00 5.00
P0002 Top 4 2.00 8.00
P0003 Top 3 1.00 3.00
i then have a text box where i want to display the overall total for these items within. hope this helps. im really stuck on this one!!!

I'm sure this is simple and I'm just missing something...
I have a combo with two columns and the row source set up as a query which returns two columns.
When I click the drop-down arrow for the combo box, I get exactly what I expect.
What I want to do is initialize the combo box so that the "default" selection is displayed in the "text" or "value" section of the box. I also want to be able to update this when the user makes a selection.
I have no problems when using a list box with something like:
listbox.value = <Some Index in the listbox>
With the combo box, I've tried:
combobox.text = xxx
combobox.value = xxx
combobox.column = xxx
combobox.itemdata = xxx
combobox.listindex = xxx
The value property sort of works -- It displays the data from the first column right justified in the "text" section of the combo box. I need to have both columns displayed the way they are when the combobox is dropped down.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance...

When I view data in linked tables in MS Access containing foreign characters (umlauts, accents, etc), the foreign characters are not being displayed properly. It is not a font or Access setting because I am using a separate similar database (also containing linked tables) where the foreign characters are being properly displayed.
Is there a setting I'm missing in the linking of the tables? Not sure where else to check.

I have successfully used an Expr code in my query to get the calculated result that I need. My problem is I can't seem to display the results on a form. I get the error "Name?"
When I try to find the query on data control which I used, it does nothing but shows me the fields from my table. How can I get a query expr column to display in my form?
the name of the query is "together" and the column's name is "everyone"
Can someone please point me in the right direction

I can run the query in my web database?
