Is it possible to use a drop down combo box to specify criteria?
I have a query which asks to select a name ( Criteria [Enter Name] ). What I want is to be able to select from a list of names available.
I create my queries using the Wizards, so specific SQL to enable the above would be appreciated if there is not a straight forward solution.
Thanks

I have set up a database that stores actions (i.e jobs). In the table; two of the fields are...'required completion date' and 'actual completion date'. I wish to lookup, by using a query, all of the open actions (those which havent yet been complete (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null)) and then later on all those which are overdue (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null And the 'required completion date' <today....this being the criteria for an overdue action).
However, I have used a form which has a combo box which contains the values open and overdue. When a selection has been made I want a form to display with the results depending on the selection that has been made. I am capable of creating a form based on a query, but am unsure of how to construct the query with the correct criteria based on the option that is selected from the form.
Any help would gratefully be appreciated. Thanks
I have two combo boxes.
My first combo box has the options:
Calendar
Off Calendar
If "Calendar" is selected, I would like to click a button that runs query1 with this criteria: "Like "*" & "12/31" & "*" AND "*" & Forms!MyForm!cbo2"
Example:
If "Off Calendar" is selected, I would like to click the same button that runs query1 with this criteria: "Not Like "*" & "12/31" & "*" AND "*" & Forms!MyForm!cbo2"
Example:
I'm having trouble setting this up...
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong... I want the query criteria to be defined by a combo box in the form. The user will select the criteria on the combo box, then click a button to run the query, however the query keeps coming up blank.
[Forms]![UserReview]![Staff] is what I have entered in the criteria for the field in the query. If I simply type in "casbds1" as the criteria, which is one of the choices in the combo box, it returns with the data I want, but I just can't get it to work with the combo box. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Hi all
I am trying to get my head around some of the more advanced “features” of access..
At the minute I am trying to change the criteria of a query from selecting a value from within a combo box.. I believe I have got the syntax correct, but I keep getting no results returned..
I am using:
[forms]![frmMovies]![combo2] as the criteria where frmMovies is the name of the form, and combo2 the name of the combo box.. I have set combo2’s source as the table containing the movie information “tblMovies”
Before you ask I am not trying to setup my own movie store, more apply the theory to a bigger DB that I am working on :-p
Hopefully you can help, as I have now been scouring the forums for 2 days and am getting no where..
Thanks in advance

I have a report that is based on a query. In the query, I have a field called "Mode". In the criteria section for the Mode field, I am calling the selection from a combo box on a form called "frm_main". So the criteria for the Mode field is "[Forms]![frm_Main]![Mode_ComboBox]". This combo box has selections for 1,2,3,4,5. I want a selecton on the combo box that will work with the query to show all modes. Sometimes something weird gets entered into the database like "NoMode" for example. I have tried adding a combo box selection of "*" , "Is Not Null" and "". If I manually type these into the criteria section of the query, it works fine. But when I use these in the combo box and call the combo box selection from the query, it does not work.
Does anyone have any idea what I can use in my combo box selection that when selected, the query (and hense report) will show all data?
Thanks,
Jim
Hi All,
I am currently having problems with a multiple criteria query with combo boxes (see attached file).
The problem:
- When user defines all 3 criteria (e.g. selects Project: A, Category: Services and Equipment Type: Packages), the query returns a result - no problem here.
- When user defines no fields (i.e. all combo boxes empty), query returns all records - again, not a probelm.
- However, say a user wants to display all records belonging to just Project: A, for example, the query returns no records. Obviously, there a a number of combinations of this (another example would be a user wanting to show records from project: B, with Category: Equipment Type).
I have included the Is Null statement in the query but to no avail. Could anyone advise on a solution based on the attached database. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Stephen
I have an unbound Combo Box in a form that I would like to use to set criteria in the query. How do I do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSimple question but I've been stuck for a looong time.
So what I want to do:
1. enter a value into a text box (Home_Tel) in a form (frmStudentClass)
2. which runs a query (qryNameTel)
3. and return the results to a combo box (Student_Name) on the same form.
The same Home_Tel may have several Student_Name results.
-I have entered
[Forms]![frmStudentClass]![Home Tel]
for the criteria in the query
- However I can't get the results to turn up on the combo box
- I have the following:
Private Sub Home_Tel_AfterUpdate()
' run query
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryNameTel"
Me.Student_Name.Requery
End Sub
Any ideas?
Or is there an easier way to tackle the problem?
Home_Tel and Student_Name are from the same tables.
I have created a query just for Home_Tel and Student_Name
Thanks everyone!
I have a two combo boxes that I want to use to help filter a query. The field the combo boxes need to filter is a numeric field with values that range anywhere from 200 to 1.5 million. To make the filtering easier I set the combo box up to several values (RowSource = Value List) that will serve as a range.
It seems that the query is not recognizing the values selected in the combo box. The numbers appear after being selected, but the query is not affected by the selection. However, When I enter a number NOT on the list (like 428) the query recognizes the value.
How can I get the query to recognize the Value List entries on the combo box?

I have a query with a date field that is formatted mm/dd/yyyy. I have a combo box that is formatted as mm/yyyy. I need the choice from the combo box to be the criteria for the date field in the query. the combo box has to contain the month and year only (which it does now) and the query must return mm/dd/yyyy. I have tried a few statements and the closest I got was a between statement that added 30 days to the combo box selection but that's not really accurate.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible in access 2010 to create a a query that only shows a text box if a combo box criteria is met?
Example: On a form there is a combobox (Result) that can either be negative or positive. If the value is Negative then a query is already setup that populates a mailmerge with some text. If Results=Positive can a query be created that will show the textbox (Data). It only needs to show if the positive criteria is met.
On I form I have a combo box called cboMobileStatus.Its row source type is "Value List".The row source is: 1;" All";2;"Has";3;"None".I have a query based on table "tblCustomerContacts" and I want to limit the records returned based on the value of the combo box.So if the user selects:
* All (1) I want all records returned.
* Has (2) I only want records that have a mobile number returned
* None (3) I only want records that do not have a mobile number returned
The field mobile is text (to keep the leading 0)I thought of using the Switch function in the criteria of the query for field Mobile like this:
Code:
Switch([Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=1,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Like "*",[Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=2,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Is Not Null,[Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=3,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Is Null)
but the query does not like it!Am I on the right track, and if so, how should I modify the code?
I am trying to make a form where the user can check/uncheck query criteria via several check boxes. The idea is that the user can start with many criteria and then deselect criteria if the search does not return enough results.
I have been setting up several queries and thought I would combine them in a "Master Query", since I thought it may be easier to deal with each criterion and the respective switch this way.
Lets say we run a hairdresser.
I have a field in the form that allows me to select clients. This is also used in the query. Works fine. Now to the hard part.
Example 1:
Each customer has a budget to spend on haircuts.
Each hairdresser offers haircuts from $x to $y.
The query should return all hairdressers that are appropriate for the budget of the selected customer.
There should be a yes/no button on the form to ignore or use this criterion.
Example 2 (this completely threw me off):
Each customer has a set of preferred services from a table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring).
Each hairdresser offers certain services also based on this table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring, drying).
The customer and hairdresser table use the services table and a multi combo box to select the services.
The query should return only hairdressers that offer some or none of the services wanted by the client.
Again, there should be a services yes/no button on the form to either ignore or include this criterion.
To clarify, the hard part for me is the query. I am fine with setting up the tables and the form. Just not sure how to implement something like "IF (ServicesCheckBox = -1, 'then use service criterion', 'ignore service criterion')".
I managed to get separate combo boxes to filter out results on a query, however now I have a slightly different problem.
I managed to get the combo boxes to filter records in different query criteria, i.e criteria A for field A, criteria B for field B, etc.
Now I would like to have several combo box filters in one criteria field, however no matter how much I try to move the code about, they either filter out nothing at all, or show up blank records as they're filtering one after the other, i.e filter for A, and then B, which clearly won't work as there will be no B if you've already filtered for A.
The code I'm using in each criteria box is;
Like "*" & [Forms]![MyForm]![Combo1] & "*"
and this works as a single criteria in a single field.
Ok so im working in MS Access 2007.
I want to create a query based on 3 combo boxes but have it so that if the field in the second or third combo box is not populated the query still runs.
Right now i have the Criteria set for the three columns that i wish to sort by as seen below.
Column 1
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![areabox2]
Column 2
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![devbox2]
Column 3
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![entitybox2]
This gives me the correct query result but im forced to make a selection from each combo box. Is there a way to progamme it so that if I only make a selection from the first combobox and leave the others blank i can still get results in a query?
I have a combo box on my form that passes criteria to a simple select query. There are four possible selections to make from the combo box. For some reason, when I select the first option on the list the query runs perfectly. However, if I select the second, third or fourth option from the combo box, the query returns no records, even though I know there are records in my table which should be returned.

View 3 Replies View RelatedApologies if this is a basic question - my first time in a forum!
I have a query that needs to look at the status of a check box. Then if the check box is flagged, the query only select records that do not contain "D/*". If the check box ISN'T flagged, the query selects all records. I'm sure an IIF statement would do the trick but don't know how to write one.
My check box is called Check60
My form that the check box is on is called "Days to advance_frm"
My field that needs filtering on is called "Material"
The field is held on a table called "SAP DATA"
The query is called "Append SAP to Temp via dates_qry"
Any help would be appreciated - need this before work on Monday!
Thanks.

i have a combo box in a form listing various people featured in pictures. i expected that if i chose a person from the combo and created a query with the criteria [Forms]![form name]![combobox name] in the person field then i would get a list of all pictures relating to that person -- this doesnt seem to work for combo boxes? -- if i change the combo box to textbox and insert a name --then it works. am i missing something very simple here?
