Combo Restricted Selection
Mar 8, 2005
Hello,
I have Customers recorded and a number of addresses associated with each customer.
They are in two tables linked by CustomerID and are shown in forms as frmCustomers & subfrmCustomerAddresses.
From frmCustomers, I open another form which records the orders maid by that customer. What I would like on this form is to select the customer address to be used for the order.
I can build a combo, but this shows all addresses on the database. What I would like for the combo to show only the addresses for that customer only.
I do not want two combos, one which selects the customer and then another which shows the addresses. This is not very user friendly to ask for the customer again. I would like one combo to show addresses for the customer on the form.
I would be grateful for any guidance on how I can achieve this.
Thank you.

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.

Hi everyone,
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
Thanks
Humphrey

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'm trying to get one combo box control what tables are available from another combo box. Example, combo box (a) includes numbers 1-5. Selecting (1) makes the data in combo box (b) specific to that selection. Selecting (2) makes the data in combo box (b) something different (pulls data from a different table).
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Is it possible to restrict a one-to-many relationship so that the many side could be restricted to say 4 records? For example a student can take four courses (no less, no more)

I have a form with a number of combo boxes to select criteria in order to narrow down a list. A selection in any combo box should narrow your options in the other combo boxes.
For example:
Combo 1 is a list of all the states
Combo 2 is a list of all the cities
Selecting NY in combo 1 will change the list in combo 2 so that it only shows cities in NY
Or, selecting Rochester in combo 2 first will edit the list for combo 1 to show only states that have a city named Rochester
The point in me doing this is to be able to narrow down a list of over 230000 different but similar items by varying criteria in order to track inventory and value.
Scrolling through the whole list, typing criteria in manually each time and building new queries and reports every time I need to find something specific are not options.
I just need the combo boxes in a form to set the criteria to filter out the list in real time. Each selection made needs to narrow your options for the next selection.

Hi,
Im copying information from Excel to Acces. As I enter the information in fields in Access, this goes just fine. The problem is that sometimes I have to change the information I put in. So for example I first copied 10 record(cells), but now I discover that I have 20 records/cells. But Access refuses to let me enter more than ten. Does anywbody know why it does this and how I can fix it?
Thank u,
Stacey

The problem occurs on a WinXP machine with Access 97.
When Access is run as a Power User everything works fine but when it runs under a user account that is a standard "User" non of the wizards function properly.
By changing some file permissions I can get the control, form and report wizards to work but the Import Data wizard still fails.
I'm sure this is a permissions issue and can be fixed by changing the security settings for some registry keys or files, but have no idea which ones.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a form with 4 text boxes that are populated from a query with an unbound cbo box to make the choice from. There are two fields that show on the dropdown, "Customer" and "New Product Name". I created it all with wizards. Most of the Customers have only one product name but some have several. If I choose a customer that has several products, it always selects the customer with the first product it finds. How can I get it to select the Customer by product? I have looked and seen what looked like what I needed on this forum, but I couldn't make it work. I am not good a VB. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.

I have had some help on this previously but its not working the way i wanted.
I have a form called plan distribution which holds a record of all people who need a copy of a certain plan. There are several hundred contacts held in the database and i want to make this as easy as possible to choose the right ones.
To do this i want to have 3 combo boxes. One each for company, department and contact.
On the plan distribution form i want the user to select which company they want. The department combo box will then automatically show all departments within that company.
Once the user selects the department, the final combo box will hold all contacts within that department.
I have tried several ways of doing this but cant find one that works!
HELP!

As you have read in my other posts I am creating a Rental database. Now I need to show ages in this database and the certificates they have on films. I have 2 problems
1) I have two fields one called date of birth and one called Age. I am wondering if I enter there date of birth, can I make the age appear automatically.
2) Also when im adding more films to my database I want one combo box saying with the options DVD/VHS/GAME and then the other saying the age certificates because Game and DVD certificates are different so I was wondering if the first combo box makes the other combo boxs options

I have a Main Form
Main Form [Event],[Category],[Judge Name]
The Main Form also has a subforms
Sub1[Event],[Category],[Judge Name],[Score],[Comments]
On the main form I have a combo box that is set to retrieve records that meet the combo selection. and thus the subform is related to display the corresponding records.
In my selection combo box I see all of the various selections as follows
[Judge Name],[Category],[Event]
and it is bound to the judges name
Problem Example:
Pull Down Values
1.[Sherry],[Fitness],[Mrs. Canada]
2.[Sherry],[Swim Suit],[Mrs. Canada]
In the above when i pull down the combo box to select and I select the first example above all is wonderful ; however if i want to select the second row the [Category] and [Event] Do not change and the information i input into the subform ends up being associated to the wrong category.
How do i bind a combo box to more than one [field] on the form
I have over 50 hours into this DB to this point and this is critical.

I have a form with combo boxes for selecting products to be purchased.
When a product is selected, the price appears in a text box. This is working fine by making the bound column of the combo box the field containing the price.
When I have two different products that have the same price, however, the combo box always displays the name of the first item of that price.
For example, a jar of Lavendar Oil costs $12 and a Small Exercise Ball costs $12. The Combo list is sorted alphabetically. When I select the Small Exercise Ball, I get the $12 in the text box, but Lavendar Oil shows up in the combo.
How do I make the combo show what I'm selecting? I assume it's something with the bound column, but can't find the resolution.
I hope someone is able to help me with this................

I have a combo box set up to select a product and put the price into a text box. I am getting the cost showing up in the text box Therapy_Cost just fine, but the combo box itself does not display anything after I select something. If I remove the AfterUpdate, I do get the item displaying in the combo box, but, of course, don't get the price in the text box. Here are the details. Can anyone help?
Combo Box
Name:
Therapy_Type
Control Source:
Therapy_Cost
Row Source:
SELECT Purchase_Items.ItemID, Purchase_Items.Item_Name, Purchase_Items.Item_Cost
FROM Purchase_Items
WHERE (((Purchase_Items.Item_Type)="2"));
Number of Columns:
4 (In this order - ID, Type, Name, Cost)
Bound Column:
1
Column Widths:
0";0";1";0"
AfterUpdate:
Private Sub Therapy_Type_AfterUpdate()
Me!Therapy_Cost = Me!Therapy_Type.Column(3)
End Sub

I have a form that calculates freight costs. I'm using a combo box for the user to select the route of the shipment from shipping port to destination port. The combo box has 2 fields. The index which is stored in the database and the description which is displayed to the user. I used the wizard to create the combo box and set the index to be saved in a table. Everything works fine, the freight cost is calculated correctly and the data is stored as designed.
The problem is when if the user goes back later and opens the screen to view the freight information, the combo box doesn't display what was selected previously. Therefore, no freight is calculated and the user has to reselect the combo box again. When I check the table, the index value of what was selected is in the table, but it will not display in the combo box.
. . . . Additional info to this post. . . . The combo box is set to use a data from a standard table. The user can only select what is displayed in the list. However, the index is then stored in another table after the selection is made. I want the combo box to do something like, if a selection was previously made then displayed what was select, if not, then display the data from the standard table.
What did I do wrong during the set up? Thanks for your help solving this problem.

I'm new at Access 03. I have a combobox that is sourced by a table, Rowsource property is:
SELECT Classes.TableID, Classes.ClassID FROM Classes;
The name of my combobox is "ClassCombo".
I'm trying to generate a report based on my combobox selection, but I can't reference the value of the selection. The query tied to my report has the following SQL:
SELECT ClassesForInstructors.ClassID, Instructors.InstructorID, Instructors.FirstName, Instructors.LastName
FROM Instructors INNER JOIN ClassesForInstructors ON Instructors.InstructorID = ClassesForInstructors.InstructorID
WHERE (((ClassesForInstructors.ClassID)="[Forms]![School]![ClassCombo]"));
I'm trying to grab the "ClassCombo" value as input to my query, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

I have a combo box that filters records on a subform by user name. I'd like to add an "all" option to the combo box list so that all records regardless of user name may be displayed at once. I have attempted a few approaches to this using a "union query" but am failing to achieve the correct syntax. The query I'm using is this:
Code:
select top 1 0,"**ALL**" from tblauditstaff
union All
SELECT tblAuditStaff.AuditStaffID, [tblauditstaff].[auditstafflastname] & ", " & [tblauditstaff].[auditstafffirstname] AS [Auditor Name], tblAuditStaff.AuditStafffirstName, tblAuditStaff.AuditStaffLastName, tblAuditStaff.AuditStaffResponsible, tblDiscrepancy.DiscrepancyAssignedTo, tblDiscrepancy.DiscrepancyActualCompDate,
[Code] ....
This is the error message I'm getting:
The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match.
