Good morning all! I've got three bound combos set to visible = false on their property sheetsThese will remain hidden or will be revealed depending on the selection made in another bound combo cmbType.
The select case below works fine on the form but the selection affects all records not just the current record. Open record 1 and select "compliment" from the first combo - the three others correctly stay hidden. Move to record 2 and select complaint and the combos appear - Great! Move back to record 1 and they're showing there as well. Groan. Helllllppp!
Private Sub cmbType_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Select Case cmbType.Value
Case "Complaint"
cmb2Day.Visible = True
cmb15Day.Visible = True
cmbOver15.Visible = True
I have made a form to enter daily timesheet info for personnel. I have on this form a combo box with different job descriptions, with this info located in a "job description" table. Once all info is entered on this form, I want all info to be entered into my "main time table".
It seemed to be working ok, until I printed out my report based on my main time table. In the area where my job description should be, I don't get the actual wording I had selected from the job description table (using the combo box), only the ID number.steps to have the selected text (from a combo box) saved in the recordset of another table?
I have a form that I need to use to add new clients to a table in my database, lets call it tblClients. On this form I have a combo box which, when selected, will drop down with the first and last names of all clients in tblClients, as well as their Client ID. Once you select a client from the drop down menu, it populates all of the fields in the form with that clients info (Client ID, fname, lname, address, phone number, etc. etc.).
I need two other things on this form: one button that will save or modify whatever current record is currently pulled up, and one button that will start the process for entering a new client, so basically it would blank out all of the fields and fill the Client ID field with the current number +1.
As of right now I have the form made and the combo box works, in that I have 3 dummy clients in the tblClients and when I select each client from the combo box it will populate the fields on the form with the info. I'm using some simple VBA on the combo box such as
Me.FirstName = Me.cboBox.Column(1)
and that seems to all work, but the problem is trying to save/modify data to tblClients. The only record in the actual table that gets modified seems to be the first record. For example, if I pull up client with ID #3 and change his address or phone number, what happens when I click to save the changes it takes client ID #3 record, overrides it with client ID #1, and then client ID #3 is the same as client ID #1 except with the old information. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.
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 am trying to update prices changes for products in my inventory database, and am stumped.
I select a vendor, which then populates the product name from which I can then select the product I want to update. From here, it populates what the current prices are. I then can type the new price into the next box, but what happens is that it doesn't change that Product it changes the 1st record.
First, just want to say I wish I had found this site a long time ago. Lots of good stuff here :) I don't know a lot about Access, but know it can be a great tool for what I need. So I hope I can find the help I am looking for...
Ok, on my form I have three unbound combobox's that I use to filter the information I want. The first two do not need to be used, meaning that the third combobox will show all the records if the first two are left blank. With that being said... I would like the form to show no data until the selection is made in this third combobox. SO, my first question is how do I make the form show no records till this combobox has a selection. And second (at the same time), make that third unbound combobox with the selection load that record to the form fields so they can be viewed or edited??
I'm sure it can be done, but I am lost... Hope I explained it ok :) Thanks in advance!!!!!!
i have a form that uses combo boxes for entry, some of the combo box entries are dependent on preceding combo box selections.
i have managed to make the combo boxes present options based on the previous selections, but am finding that after i move on to another record, some of the combo box entries are not being retained or stored in the record.
It happens only on some records and sometimes when I return to it again the selections are there even though on a previous ocassion they were not.
I have a combo box called Combo9 in form NavigationF, the combo box displays the results of FollowUpQ Query. What I would like to do is when the user selects a row from the combobox is closes NavigationF and opens ContactHistoryF and goes to the record selected in the combo box. I have made sure that the combobox contains CustomerID which is the primary key for my table.
I am new to Access and I have get to where the users can make selections in the listboxes, but then I need to save the selection in a query or table to save thier changes.
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
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).
I'm trying to build a database for daily work. My work in daily basis I have to fill all condition for several items.
We have two areas, with two locations under each area, and three systems under each location and each system contain more than 500 items.
I created all tables and fill by all information:
1-Table 1: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4, Area 5, Area 6. 2-Table 2: Location 1, Location 2. 3-Table 3: System 1, System 2, System 3. 4-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-1 5-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-2
[Code] ....
Last table will be LogBook which will be as follow:
date l time l area l location l system l item l Conition1 l Conition2 l Conition3
My question regarding to the form of the above table:
How can I make a combo box for area field and when I select for example area1 will appear only the locations which under area1 in location field, and when I select location1 for example will appear only the systems under location1 in system field, and when I select system1 one for example will appear only items under system 1.Combo box list will be based on the selection in previous combo box and so on.
Once a supplier name is selected from the combo box i only want it displayed that suppliers products in the subform, subform. (products combo box) I can get a basic query to show these results but can get the combo box to do the same.
I have a subform with records of call details (date, time, subject) - the date and time are autogenerated and subject is a text field. After entering text in the subject field and then clicking on the close button in the main form, or clicking anywhere else in the main form, the record is saved to the table. However, if I enter text in the subject field and then move up to view previous records (within the subform) and then click the close button in the main form the record is not saved in the table. How can I either save the record before allowing the user to move to another record within the subform or before exiting the subform set the focus to the new record so that it will be saved on exit?
I had a small problem with combo box . Is there any way to store the previous value of the combo box. Last time Pat showed me a way to collect the value by .oldvalue property of the combo box and it worked fine. But it working only for saved record and one time only. If I choose different value one more time without saving the record, the .oldvalue is not changing..Is there any way to make this happen. I am attaching a sample db with this. If someone can clear this please update the db or show me the code to do that.....
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.
Iam very new to ACCESS. So please do forgive me for believing that the "SAVE AS" function in ACCESS is as easy as something similar we do in Microsoft Word.
After searching this forum and others I realise that there is no easy way and it is considered as some thing for serious users. (with additional coding not available in ACCESS) Perhaps there are easier ways that I am not aware of.
I would like to open a record in a FORM which has one Combo Box for text data, several text and Numeric fields. I then need to change a few items and save the record as a New Record Only a few (mostly numeric fields) and some date entries will be changed as well as a couple of calculated fields in the NEW RECORD.
I shall appreciate any suggestion as to how to do this.
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!
Text is brought into a form field as a result of a combo box selection, is it possible to use the same combo box to select another value that could be appended to the same field as the first selection?
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'm terribly sorry to bother on what seems like a very simple matter, but I've just given up on MicroSofts documentation.
I just want to execute the Shift+enter type of save-record command (also available from the "Records" menu at the top) when a field loses focus. This would need to be part of my VB code as I'm doing other things on this event as well.
