I know how to base the combo box on a query, and in the after update enter
Me.[txtboxName]= Me.[cboName].Column(1)
BUT...
I want to bound the combo box to a control source.
How can I achieve that?
Thanks~
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.
May I start by saying Hi and that im just embarking on understanding Access 2003. I do know a little about DB as I have built programs in VB6 using databases. But now onto my problem which seems a simple one.
I have a Db called delivery. With columns as below. Mtno being the key.
Mtno Orderno Description Quantity Customer
I populate a combo box with Mtno, but on the click event of the combo box i wish to populate textboxs from the other columns.
Code used.
Private Sub Combo0_Click()
Me!text2 = Combo0.Column(1)
Me!text3 = Combo0.Column(2)
End Sub
text2 gets populated and updates on the click event of the combo box but text3 doesnt. Niether do the other text boxes when I put the code in.
Help me understand this please.
kind Regards
Tony
Hello I hope someone can help me on this one.
This is something I am not getting an understanding on and need some help.
I made a form that holds all information for our customers.
I want to make the Company Name box into a combo box so when I change the
Company Name in the combo box it populates all the text boxes on the form with
the correct data.
I for the life of me do not know where/how to even start to do this.
I would attach my database but I cant seem to get the file small enough. I have deleted the large table and it is still 7megs. How do I get it small enough to attach it?
Thanks for the help.
I'm pretty new to this type of programming and i was hoping for a little help,
I have completed the majority of my program it's just a few little things i need to tweak.
The main thing is that i am trying to get a text box to autofill from a selection in a combo box i.e.
i have selected a drop down box with 3 coloums looked up from another table i would like 1 of the columns to stay in the combo box after selection and the other two to appear in the text boxes on the same page.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
Brad

I have a table made for the IC number drop down. The columns represent the fields that need to be auto filled.
Making some kind of query to link the combo box entry to the text boxes? Some VBA where the control source is equal to my query? I have tried changing the text box control source to equal columns from my drop down but that did not work.
NOTE: the blue font in the first image represents the text boxes that need to auto fill when I select the IC number from the drop down. The second image is my table from which my combo box is generated. The acronyms are for the two tests on this form.
Hi, newbie needs help!
I am trying to make a courses registration database. I have 3 tables; tblContacts [ContactID], [FitstName], [LastName] [Etc..] [Etc..]
tblCourseRegistration [RegID], [ContactID] [CourseID] and tblCourses [CourseID], [RegID], [CourseName], [StartDate], [AvailablePlaces]
I have created a form called Test1 that displays The CourseID, CourseName, StartDate EndDate and an unbound textbox called PlacesLeft. I would like to display in this text box the number of places that are still available on a particular course. I've written a querie that counts the CourseID's in the course registration table this works ok but I want it to place the value in the PlacesLeft text box. Then I can do a simple calculation based on the PlacesAvailable textbox. Anyone any idea how to do this My querie reads
SELECT Count([CourseID])
FROM tblCourseRegistration
WHERE (((tblCourseRegistration.CourseID)=(Forms.Test1.Co urseID)));
I tried another method which includes a command button that when clicked tries to run the following
Dim MyRS As ADODB.Recordset, strSQL As String
Set MyRS = New ADODB.Recordset
strSQL = "SELECT Count([CourseID])FROM tblCourseRegistration WHERE (((tblCourseRegistration.CourseID) = (Forms.Test1.IDNo)))"
MyRS.Open strSQL, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
If MyRS.NoMatch Then
Me.PlacesLeft = ""
Else
Me.PlacesLeft = MyRS.Fields(0)
but Access (Ver 2000) does not like the noMatch and shows it as an error.
I would be very grateful if someone could show me how to sort this out!
Many thanks in advance
ok, here goes...
sorry if this is really simple, i just can't figure out how to explain exactly what i'm trying to do...

Thanks for your help

I have a VB6 form that I want to fill with data from a field in an Access DB. I get the connection and the first field, but want the whole column to show up as the combo box items so that one can be selected, then when saved, populate and/or update another Access table. Can anyone help me cause the whole column to display instead of only the first record? TIA--Ed
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to Acces programming and have been tasked with making a database for work. I is a very simple database. What I need it to do though that I can't figure out is. Once the table is populated with information I want the user to be able to select a record from my combo box and then all the rest of the information from the record will automatically display in the correct text field so any changes can be made to it. So I have say Combo Box John Smith and when he is selected I want text field DOB to automatically fill with 01/01/1960 as that is what was put in there when he was first entered.
Thanks.
I set up an Access database to track visiting families. Each person in a family is inserted as a seperate row in my table. The table has the following columns: Visitor # (which is an auto #), Head of household, last name, first name, phone, email, address and etc.
The first person I enter when a family visits is the head of the household. I set up a quiery with a pull down combo box in my form so when I enter a new entry I can select a head of the houshold to assign each person to. Since I put the head of the household in first. I can then select that head of the household (this way I can track each family member seperate but still know they belong to the same family). So if we have a family visit that has a husband, wife and a child. There are three entries each having a head of the household as the same. When I use the query to select the head of the household in the combo box I would like the information that is the same as the original "head of the household" entry (address and phone #) to be automacially filled in from the husband's initial entry.
How can I do this? I read some other post with some VB in them like "Me.TextBox = ComboBox1.Column(3)" but I don't understand the syntax too well since I'm new at this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I have the fields City, State and Postcode in my Member's table. My Member's form has the same 3 fields.
I have the CityLookup table which contains the City name and relevant State and Postcode.
I want my users to be able to either select from the combo dropdown list to select a City or start typing the name and the name will be autofilled from the list - then the correct City name, State and Poscode will automatically fill the fields on my form.
i have looked at a number of combo box methods and can not get one to work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have a form (Project Form) with (Project_ID,Applicant_ID,Project_description, etc). To make it easier for the user who may not know the Applicant _ID when he/she is adding a new project for the applicant, I want to put a combo box with the Applicant Names in it, and once the Applicant Name is chosen, the Applicant ID will be filled out automatically and be saved in the Project Table.
My Approach so far was adding a combo box with two columns(Applicant ID, Applicant Name), and basically adding the following code:
Private Sub Combo36_AfterUpdate()
Me.Applicant_ID = Me.Combo36.Column(0)
End Sub
This approach works well, when I select an applicant, the Applicant ID will pop up correctly. However, This ID is not being saved in the Project Table.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have five textboxes for husband with the values typed(HustxtAddress1, HustxtAddress2, HustxtCity, HustxtState, HustxtZip). I have five more textboxes for wife.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use this expression in my textbox to show when the textbox value is null:
=IIf(IsNull([ContractStatus]),"Null",[ContractStatus])
It gives me a circular reference error (#error in the textbox). If I change it to this:
=IIf(IsNull([ContractStatus]),"Null","ContractStatus"), it will display the text "Contract Status" (obviously).
What am I overlooking here? Does this need to be done in VBA?
is there a way to have a form set to either auto populate fields based on the FIRST FIELD? For example: if the user type in the STUDY ID, the other fields like (first name, last name etc..) are auto-populated/auto-filled? and if the STUDY ID is new and not in the table, then the users simply fill in all the fields/complete the form and save? And I would also like a message box to show when I am typing the STUDY ID that would say something like: this person is on the system already. Click YES for this person and NO to add the user?...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form that is a datasheet. it contains multiple records. One of the fields in that datasheet is a combo box.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy problem is I have two tables. One of the tables was made specifically to draw information from to populate the second table. The second table has a combo box that draws information from one of the fields from the first table. What I am hoping to do though is have each selection from the combo box in the second table to draw different information from another field in the first table and use that data to populate another field in the second table.
Simplified: Combo box in Field (1) on table two has multiple selections that I want to autofill the data in Field (2) on table two based upon the selection of the combo box. Data from both fields in table two would come from two different fields from table one.
I have tried to work with the After Update button in the After Events section on the ribbon at the top; however, I am simply lousy with coding. Is there an easier way to do it other than using that option?
I'm a novice when it comes to Access 2010, and I'm having trouble with DLookup syntax, and am going nuts. I have tblLookup, tblFees and Costs, and frmFees and Costs. All data entry is done in frmFees and Costs.
The tblLookup lists plaintiffs and the matter related to them. In the form, I made a combo box [Combo13] for plaintiffs and a text box for Matter [Matter], but whenever I enter the plaintiff, I get an error.
The error is:
Run-time error '3075':
Syntax error (comma) in query expression '[PlaintiffName]=The Plaintiff I Typed in'
The code I'm trying to use:
Private Sub Combo13_AfterUpdate()
Me.Matter = DLookup ("[Matter]", "tblLookup", "[PlaintiffName] =" & Me.Combo13)
End Sub
[PlaintiffName] is the column name in the tblLookup.
I looked around the forums but couldn't find anything that matched my setup.
I have created a form based off of one table. I have added an unbound combo box so a user can select a department's number and would like department name and accountable officer to auto pop/fill based on the dept number selection. I'm not sure what I need to put in the "After Update" in the properties in order for this to work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box that autofills a text box, this has duplicate values and I want to fill the text box based on the selection of the combo box.
Let me explain:The combobox is Suburb, the text box is for Postcode, the data has multiple matches for example FRANKLIN has a postcode match of 2913 in ACT and also 7113 in TAS.
From the combo box I select the record that matches 7113 but 2913 enters into the text box.
This is my code: In Row source of the combo box I have - SELECT [Australian Postcodes].Locality, [Australian Postcodes].Pcode, [Australian Postcodes].State FROM [Australian Postcodes];
In Event on change I have -
Private Sub Suburb_Change()
Me.Postcode = Me.Suburb.Column(1)
End Sub
how to change this to be based on the selected record from the combo box?
I just learned about Access 2007 since two days ago. I was assigned to do a database on the competency test records for my company.
I currently have 2 tables: tblCompetencyRecord and tblSections.
In tblSections, I have sectionname and sectionhead. PK is the sectionname.
I created a form from tblCompetencyRecord.
I have employee name, employee number, position, section, section head, test period, status and remarks on my form (like wise in my tblCR).
Now, I want to get Section field (combo box) to auto fill the Section Head field. I've searched high n low (i think), but i just couldn't figure it out.
I am trying to auto-fill address info from a combo field. I'm using a select query on a table for the information. It appears to work for the first field (Firm Address1), but then stops working on all the other fields.
