Combo And Text Box Display Question
Jan 21, 2007
Hi all
Go nice and easy on me. This is my first serious DB and i've picked a cracker to start with.
Basically i am trying to set up a booking system for excursions, booking seats on coaches, trains, printing tickets, vouchers and information.
At the moment I'm trying to populate a text box (txtExcursionCost) in a form with a cost with is drawn from a table (tblExcursions).
tblExcursions holds information about the excursions including the info which populates combo box (cboExcursionTitle) and combo box(cboExcursionDate). The date combo is dependant on what is selected in the Title combo. The text box (txtExcursionCost) needs to be dependant on the Title and Date combos to get the right cost displayed. How could I get this to work?
The reason for the text box is that it only needs to be displayed to show the user the cost of that particular excursion and to create a base for a calculation for Amount Due at the completion of the transaction.
Hope this makes sense.
All help greatly appreciated thanks.

I want to display the text from one combo in a text box in another form based on what's selected in a second combo box. The text box is in a different form from the combo boxes.
Sub D_ComponentTypeCmb_Change()
If Me.D_ComponentNameCmb.Value = "Customise" Then
Forms!CustomComponentF!C_ComponentTxt.Value = Me.D_ComponentTypeCmb
Else
Forms!CustomComponentF!C_ComponentTxt.Value = ""
End If
End Sub

I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.
In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".
Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:
Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)
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'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.

When the Mouse moves away from TEXTBOX1 I want TEXTBOX2 to go back to normal.. (Empty)
How can I get the below VB to work? Or something similar.. I'm assuming a mouse move event or something
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_GotFocus()
Display Hello World in TEXTBOX2
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_LostFocus()

This works fine but where the TYPE field is enetred as another category other than workboat, the DWT field is still missing. Am I missing the Else part?

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 have combo box # 1 with value list of "OLD" and "NEW" and combo box # 2 with its row source coming from a query. Here's the scenario - A user chooses "OLD" on the first record from combo box # 1 and the code works fine. But when the user chooses "OLD" again on the next record, what code do I write so that combo box # 2 displays a 0?
So to re-itirate, please help me write the code if the item on the list is selected again, the value of the other combo box would display 0?
Please help. Thank you.

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 need some help please
I have a db that has three forms (1 frmSearch, 1 frmFindCountyInfo and 1 subfrmFindCountyInfo (embedded in the frmFindCountyInfo)
I also have 2 tables (States and CountyInfo with StateID and CountyID set as PK in each).
Now I am trying to design it in such a way that when someone double clicks a State from the Mainform (FrmSearch), it should bring the frmFindCountyInfo with the corresponding state info for that State and this works fine.
Now in the subfrmFindCountyInfo, I want the user to be able to pick from a combobox a county within the Counties from the state selected and displayed in the frmFindCountyInfo
Data Source for FrmSearch: States
Data Source for FrmFindCountyInfo: States
Data Source for SubrmFindCountyInfo: CountyInfo
I also have a one to many relationship defined between StateID in States table and StateID in CountyInfo Table (I dunno if I am using it right though)
I have a query that works in Datasheet view but when I run the form, it picks just one county and there are non on the droplist.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Here are my queries…
Query to get State and Corresponding Info (works Fine)
SELECT States.StateID, [State] & " " & [Alias] AS StateFullName, States.Alias
FROM States;
Query to get County and corresponding data (seem to work in datasheetview but pulls up just first alphabetical county in combo box on form)
SELECT CountyInfo.County, CountyInfo.ReleaseFee, CountyInfo.ReleaseComment, CountyInfo.AssignmentFee, CountyInfo.AssignmentComment, CountyInfo.AdditionalInfo, CountyInfo.LastUpdated
FROM CountyInfo INNER JOIN States ON CountyInfo.StateID = States.StateID
WHERE ((([Forms]![FrmFindCountyInfo]![State])=[CountyInfo]![State]))
ORDER BY CountyInfo.County;
Also when I run subfrmFindCountyInfo alone ( I have to input State) it has the drop down with all the counties.
I dunno whatelse to do. Any help willbe very much appreciated.

I have created a combo box that simulates browsing, but limits it to a single filepath. I would like to store this file path along with the filename into my database in a field. There are two ways of doing this that I have found work, but i need a less cluttered way. 1) My rowsource string is created byrowString = rowString & filePath & fileName &";"fileName = dirthat's in a loop that reads all the files in the directory.... the problem with setting this rowsource to my combobox is that its very long and cluttered looking combo boxMy secont way is: rowString = rowString & fileName &";"fileName = dirThen i make a hidden text box whose value is filePath + Me!cboBox where the cboBox has the string value of the file (Sample1.jpg) In this instance i make the text box the control source instead of the combo box... but I'm pretty sure that's a bad way of doing what I want to doboth of these ways seem ... redundant, so i was wondering if there is a way to do this otherwise ?

I am fairly new to VBA, having done no fromal training. I have taught myself quite alot and I am pleased with how i am progressing. I am stuck though!
I am building a booking system for a friends business, all free of charge as I believe it's a good project to get experience in VBA.
The booking form has a 'Date' Combo box, 'Name' Combo box and a 'Time' Combo box. The 'Time' Combo box displays times in 10min intervals from 0600 to 2100, and this data is stored in a table called 'tblTimes'. I need to build a query that checks the main table 'tblBooking', for a selected date chosen in the 'Date' Combo box by the user, to see what times have been used up and thus only display, in the 'Time' Combo box, those times not yet used for that particular datedate.
I am sure, to some of you experts out there, that this is quite a simple query. I looki forward to your input.

I'd like to be able to select a choice of printer manufacturer(as a combo box), which will then display all the printer cartridges made by that manufacturer in a table below the combo box. I have made the forms (with the relevent combo box looking up manufacturers) but am now sure how to relate the two so that the table updates, depending on which manufacturer is selected. Again this seems like a simple problem but I am new to access and sitll working my way around the program.
(Yes, I have tried goodle, but I can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for)

Hi
I'm having problems trying to get an If statement working on my form.
What I have is a form with two combo boxes linked to a Calendar when you click on the arrow. I can get the dates I select from the calendar into the combo boxes which works perfectly.
What I wanted to do then was create a textbox to list the number of days between each date.
I have created an If statement for me to do this, which works fine.
The problem I am having is that it doesn't seem to update these changes on the form after the date has been changed.
I have placed the code in the AfterUpdate event on both of the combo boxes and also in the Form Current Event.
Anyone any ideas?
If you want to see the If statement let me know, but I don't think it's that.
Thanks

Here's a strange one.....
We have only 4 computers in our office. Our DB backend is SQL server and due to constant corruption of the database from multiple users, each user/computer runs its own separate copy of the mdb file.
I have set up a small form in a separate database to allow me to quickly compact the DB and copy it to the 4 locations on the network instead of doing it manually. This process works fine...BUT....I have a text box on the form set up to display the copy progress and the contents of the text box do not properly display during the file copying. Even though the code to change the value of the textbox comes before the file copy command, the textbox will not display the until after the copying is finished. However, when I step debug the process it displays the information correctly before the file copy command executes.
Here is a sample of my code...
Dim strPath1 As String
Dim strpath2 As String
strPath1 = "C:FortuneSystemTemp.mdb"
strpath2 = "\ScottFortune"
If Dir("C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.ldb") <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Cannot proceed! Fortune database is open.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
txtProgress = "Compacting Database"
'compact master DB to a temporary DB file
DBEngine.CompactDatabase "C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.mdb", strPath1
txtProgress = ""
If chkTed Then
If Dir(strpath2 & "Ted.ldb") <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Ted cannot be copied. Program is running.", vbCritical
Else
Screen.MousePointer = 11
txtProgress = "Ted Copying"
Kill strpath2 & "Ted.mdb"
FileCopy strPath1, strpath2 & "Ted.mdb"
txtProgress = ""
Screen.MousePointer = 0
End If
End If
....etc...
Can anyone explain why this is happening and possibly a way around it?
Thanks

I have been creating a form, based on only one table. Here I am displaying data as text boxes and subfrom from the same table. At the beginning, I was interested in controlling the display of the data according to the combo box (in this case is the PO number). Now, I would like to add another combox box which is the year (I have a column with the date, and also I have a column that shows only the years digits in my table) Also, I have a subform that display the data from the same table specifics records that I want. It means that I want to pick the year first, and then in the combox box of po number shows only option of that year, and hence the text boxes and subforms change accordingly to the two combox boxes.

Hi
I am posting this question again, as I think there was some miscommunication from my side. I sinccerely apologise.
Actually there are three fields on a form.
1. Combo Box : Label is Name
2. Text Box : Label is Code
3. Text Box : Label is Department.
These three fields are stored in the table.
I wants that when the form gets loaded, then in the combo box field all the names from the table should appear. When I select the particular name from the list and the focus is lost from the combo box then the two values from the table should show the corresponding text boxs.
Thanks in Advance

Is there a way to force a combo box to display the first value in the list as its default value?
To be more specific the combo box needs to display this value when the parent form is opened or when you use VBA to change or add the row source.
When ever I use a saved query as the row source the default value is always Null.
Thanks Everyone,
Joe

I am trying to display two fields when the combo box is unselected.
Basically I have a table source manufacturer. This table has Manufacurer e.g. Nokia. Model No e.g. 3230.
So on the combo box i want it to show Nokia 3230. Saves me linking to a subform to show the information.
Can it be done???:)
