I have a main form with two combo boxes on which are linked if you select from the first cbo it filter the second. I also have subform that has a combo box on which is filtered by the second cbo on the main form. All works lovely when adding a new record BUT when I move to another record the cbo entries in the subform are not there, there are saving to the table are all the other data is showing just not the combo box entries - to get round this I have to reselect from the second cbo click into the subform and refresh and then they appear but this isn't how it's meant to work and I'd have to do this on every record but it then resets the previous one
Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
I have combo boxes populated with all values in a particular field, then shunt the form onto that record (standard combo box for selecting records from a list in other words).
Problem is, these boxes seem to stop working if I leave the form for another and then return to it.
Here's the code Access puts behind:
----------- Set SerialRS = Me.Recordset.Clone SerialRS.FindFirst "[Serial Number] = '" & Me![Combo60] & "'" If Not SerialRS.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = SerialRS.Bookmark -----------
The form may be opened and closed via other processes (although never unloaded), but when I come back to it these combo boxes always stop working! Why?
New to access...just build a form, in which there are combo boxes....cascading of boxes was done.
Now the problem is I want afterupdate function to get activated when user changes the value of one combo....for which I have created a code in code builder... see the code... I think I am making a mistake in writing the code to requery...
I have a cascading combo box working fabulously in a form. However when I embed that form into another form, the cascading combo boxes quit working. After doing some searching around on the web I think my issue is either in the query that the dependent combo box references and/or in the "after update event procedure" but I just can't seem to figure out the exact changes to make to my database. Details:
Tables with data for combo boxes:LOOKUP TABLE - Veg Species - Species Type, LOOKUP TABLE - Veg Species - Species Name. Related together based on common field: SpeciesType
[code]...
When the form with the combo boxes is embedded as above, I can select the species type from the dropdown but when I try to select the species common name value I am asked to
"enter parameter value - Forms!SUBFORM2a - Enter Specific Veg Info!cmbSpecies_Type".
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change() Me.Requery Me.cboCourseName.Requery Me.Check178.Requery End Sub
Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!
I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D
Hi everyone, I have been making progress with customizing a MS Access program, but one major problem is that I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of values from only the parameter that is primary key. More specifically, the program is set up as follows: I have two tables in this program: One that is called "invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of these tables, there is one common parameter, which is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key, and I used the "relationships" function to tie this parameter to itself between the two tables. I was successful in setting up a list-box for the "Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box for another parameter that is supposed to display a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials. In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to take so that the database stores a list of people's initials. Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key. How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of different people's initials, or in other words how can I get all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the Design mode of Tables, including Display Control, Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column, but the outcome is that the only parameter that I get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which is Item Number. I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how to correct this. On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a specific date range so that I can limit each report to a specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well. Thanks.
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 main form which is linked through a [PackageID] field to a subform. i wast to use the same form for both shipments in and out. the subform has a list of serial numbers add for each [package id].
On the main form i have addresses ect and then a combo box onthe [PackageID] field which brings up all the serial numbers that came in, in that package.
This is perfect for sending a large container back out unopened, however there are times when the database will need to 'pick and choose' serial no.s from several packages. To do this i made the [SerialNo] field on the subform a combo box - looking up all the serial no.s in stock - however when a serial no is selected it doesn't update the other 15 fields in the subform.
Any sugestions? Got a feeling thats its quite an easy thing to do but its beaten me!
Any ideas why combo boxes that all have their "auto expand" option set to YES are not auto expanding as I type-in text? They were working last week and I have no idea why they're not working now. Strangely, if I type in any of the entries present in the combobox list (text such as "St. Louis City") exactly as it appears in the combobox list, and then press enter, I get an error message telling me the value is invalid. Then, if I use the drop-down list to find and select "St. Louis City", it allows me to enter this value.
I have document management system for 2 projects in one db. I have a login form where user has to select the project id thru a combobox. And I have all the queries based on this combobox to display results in form or report. But after login and selecting the project, login form closes and main form opens to display data pertaining to that project. But it does not work, the moment we click close to open main form again query method apears displaying the same string :[Forms]![frmLogon]![Project]. This happens for all forms, reports. I cant't figure this out. Can somebody please help me?
I have 2 combo boxes, one Categories and Products. However I have follows a tutorial and when I select the Categories, the products do not show even though the tutorial says it does. I have attached a copy of the DB.
I have a chart I am trying to create that pulls data from a table. It pulls from a list of about 7 items. The issue I have is when I do this it is showing the ID numbers in the legend and not the actual names>
I recently created a database to be used to store incoming invoices. We have 4 suppliers which supply the same material and wanted each supplier to have its own database.
I began by making a database which included all the key tables, forms, queries and functions I would need to then save 4 copies, one for each supplier. This just meant I would not have to repeat the process for each individual supplier.
The problem is all my data is external and upon importing it into the database it has made the search function (combo box) not return results.
I believe this is because: 1) The form was created before the records existed 2) The records were imported from an external source and not created using the form.
However, the way I have designed the form is so I can see all relevant information linked with a specific invoice. This aids in gathering information quickly about an invoice but also so I can input credit note and invoice query information linked to a specific invoice on the same page.
Is there anyway to remedy this?
Or use a similar search function that returns records in my form "Main View"
The last thing I want to do is have to create the form again, although I don't think this will work either as reason 2) states.
i have a form with two cascading combo's that work when the form is opened as a single form however when i place the form on Page 3 of a TabCtl it fails to cascade the correct values.
frmSiteDetails > TabCtl33 > Page3 > frm ConditionDetails subform with Combo's 1 & 2 Combo 1 = [ElementGroupName] SELECT ElementGroupID, ElementGroupName FROM tblElementGroup; has Column Count of 2 and Bound Column 2 Combo 2 = [Element] qrySubElements has SQL:
I have created a query to simply bring up various parameters asking questions which then give back the results that are correct! i am wondering if it is possible so that when the parameter boxes display on the screen, for you to be able to select the answer from a combo box list (within the parameter box) instead of typing them in???
