However on the form, LineMachine is taken from the tblLineMachine where LineID and MachineID are FKs. This has a large list of machines as one line can have many machines and a machine may appear on more than one line
So on the form, i would like to select the LineMachineID by inserting fldLineID (which would be a combo box) where the user could select which line e.g. Line1 and then the combo box for the LineMachineID would only display the relevant machines for the entered line instead of all the machines for every line.
I managed to achieve this,but I am experiencing a problem where if, in the Line combo box, i choose a different Line e.g. Line2, the LineMachineID does not then display the machines on Line2, but keeps showing the machines for the line I originally selected (Line 1).
How do I get the LineMachineID combo box to update every time a different line is chosen in the LineID combo box?
I suspect this is probably rather easy, but I've not been able to figure it out:
I am using a combo to select a record in a form. This works.
The problem is: When I navigate through the records in the form, the combo box does not "update". I need to be able to change the record displayed in the combo box as the record in the form changes.
i have a combo box, which looks up a list of school names from my main table. The user selects the desired school, then clicks the button underneath, which opens a report. What i want the report to show is the next 31 (that is how many fit on one page) schools AFTER the school that the user selects - the underlying query for the report has them in alphabetical order. There are ~250 schools in the list.Even if i can get it just to display the records after the selected one on the form, that would be fine.
I have a tab control with a Counsellor Training tab on it inmy form frmCounsellors. The issue I am having is that when I select a training type from the drop down in the sub form on the tab control on the counsellor training tab and then go to a new record of the main form, not on the sub form, the training type I selected on the form stays the same. If I change it on the second record, it stays at whatever I changed it to, even if I return to the first record it stays at what I changed it to as well.
How do I get it to stay with the counsellor and have it zero out for a new counsellor and it to allow me to enter something different for the new counsellor then save it for that counsellor?I just realised, I am having the same issue with the location combo box but I am sure I could apply a fix to both boxes if I knew one.
Bit of a problem I'm hoping someone can help with. I have a telephone call logging system. The system is a tabbed form with each tab representing a person's Telephone Call Inbox. As new calls are entered into the database, they appear in each person's inbox until they are marked as dealt with.
This all works fine and there are no problems with the basics of it, but the problem I do have is that after I have split the database into a Back end and a Front end and distributed the Front ends to each user, when a new call is entered it doesn't appear in the persons inbox until they do a requery.
At first I sent the form to requery using the ontimer event, but the problem I have is that after every reqery the form goes back to the first record. A user on the office forum suggested I use the following code:
Combo box on continuous form should have the control source listed as the field on the form that will be updated. The Row Source, however, is a query that includes 2 things: the field on the form that will be updated (this part will be nonvisible in your form) and the table/query of selections you want to show up in the combo box (visible). Then ensure the Bound column is set to 1 and the Column count is set to 2 with Column Widths as 0";1"
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
I would like to set up rules/constraints such that the value selected in combo box A determines the available values in combo box B. For example, "Combo box A" is bound to the [PartnerType] field and "Combo box B" is bound to the [PartnerRole] field. Let's say that the two choices in Combo Box A are "LLC", "LP", and "Corporation". There are 5 possible choices in Combo Box B: "X", "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U". If a user selects "LP" in Combo Box A, I would like Combo Box B to only show choices "X" and "Y". And if a user selects "LLC", only choices "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U".
Similarly, I would like to set this up so that Combo Box B is not initially visible--it becomes visible when a user selects "LLC" or "LP". If a user selected "Corporation", Combo Box B would remain hidden.
I have a form listing tasks to which I make personnel assignments with a multi-value list field type. It takes some time to select from 15-25 employees on the list for each task, especially considering that small groups of employees will be assigned to the same selection of tasks.
What I want to do is select multiple records with the mouse, then click a command button opening a form in dialog mode with the selection list. The user then clicks to make his selections and clicks ok, which then updates the multi-select field for the selected records.
I am new to access and I recently encountered a double click issue
My form loads perfectly on double click event but it shows the first record instead of selected record.
My search is based on a PersonID but each PersonID has different WorkID that I wish to display on double click but it always shows the first WorkID instead of my selected record
I have tried changing the filters in the form properties but it still doesn't work for me.
Here's my code:
Private Sub SearchResults_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.OpenForm "WorkForm", , , "[PersonID]=" & Me.[Searchresults], , acNormal End Sub
[Searchresults] draws information from my Query
Query information:
PersonID... WorkID... Type......Location 1234..........1............Paint .....Address A 1234..........2............Electric...Address B 1234..........3............Floor..... Address C
I have created a database that is used to track various programs that our organisation runs, and keeps a record of which Division the program is in.
at the moment I have a main form which has a combo box that lists Divisions, then I have a subform that has a combo box on it that lists the purchasers.
what I would like to do, is to have the Purchasers list update when a Division is selected in that main form, as depending on which Division is chosen the contents of the Purchasers list changes drastically.
I have a form that has a combo box with a list of selections. I also have a tab control with a tab that corresponds to each option in the combo box, so that I can show the details specific to the selected item.
Is there a way to have the value of the combo box select the appropriate tab in the tab control automatically? And I don't want it to select the tab only after I've entered or selected something from the combo box. I'd like it to select based on the already stored value of the combo box. So if the combo box shows Cars, then the Cars tab would automatically select.
I am having trouble getting a combo box to go to a selected record on a form. It basically ignores the selection. I have successfully used the combo box to do searches on other forms. The only difference I'm noticing is that form I'm using has multiple records for the search criteria.
Departments (DepartmentName as prime key), Employees (EmployeeCode as prime key, as prime key field can't have duplicates as it occuring in case of EmployeeName), ErrorReference (ErrorCode as prime key) and ErrorCategory
I built onemore table "Performance", in which 'workOrderRef, Date, Cost and WorkOrderPic' are local fields and rest of fields (departmentName, EmployeeCode, EmployeeName, ErrorCode, ErrorRef) are linked to different database to prop up data while data entry.
Also did relations between these tables in order to facilitate cascading effect of modification in respective database bases.
Now the question is - in input database file i.e. "Performance", - when i prop up "CAD" department, i should get employees in CAD department and in turn employee code.
similarly
- when i prop up any Error rerefernce, it should automatically prop up corresponding ErrorCode
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.

I have a combo box on a form that the user can select a player name. Under the combo box I have a label called "Show me information about selected Player: that once clicked takes the user to another form which has all information about the player that was previously selected in the combo box.
Everything works fine UNLESS the user forgets to select a playername from the combo box and clicks on the label anyway. Obviously no player name was selected so a blank form opens which is a problem!
How can I ensure that a player name is selected and prevent the user from clicking on the label below without having previously selecting from the combo box?
If anyone can please help I would appreciate it so much.
i have a combo box on my form that uses UNION query to put "<select>" as part of the list items.right now "<select>" appears on top of the list but what i mtrying to do is when the form loads i want the combo box to have "<select>" selected and not just show blank unless someone click on the down arrow. i m sure there is a way/propoerty to do it but i cant figure it out. Also how can i make my combo box so user cant type in a combo box but select from the list.
I have a date field called 'CDDueDate' on a form called Diary, based on a Diary Query, based on the Diary Table. I have a combo box that lists dates generated by SQL to select from. It has no control source, i can see dates from today till the end of 2005 in the Row Source and the type is set to Value List.
Once I have selected a date, how do i get it to store it in my CDCueDate field. It doesn't save to the underlying query or table?
I tried setting the Control Source to CDDueDate thought the combo is called cboDateSelect, but it comes up with Msg "Write Conflict, da dee da, with Save Record, Copy to Clip Board or Drop changes".
If i click Save Record, a msg comes up;
"The macro or function set to the BeforeUpdate or ValidationRule property for this field is preventing Microsoft Access from saving the data in the field.
If this is a macro, open the macro in the Macro window and remove the action the forces a save (for example GoToControl).
If the macro includes a SetValue action, set the macro to the AfterUpdate property of the control instead.
If this is a function, redefine the function in the Module Window."
If i follow the instructions in this message, the combo box stays blank no matter how much i select a value.
If i click ok again, it comes up with "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit". And if i click ok again, it comes up with, Microsoft has encountered and Error.. da dee da, prompts to create backup and send error report.
I have a form which contains two sub forms. In the first subform I have 4 fields of Cut#, Size, Quantity and Style. Once the cut# is selected, a vba code runs and fill in the rest of fields. In second sub form I have a field of Fabric# (Combo Box) which should be restricted to the Style value on the first sub form. I have a query which contains the Fabric# and Corresponding style and I try to write a vba code to requery once Style value changes.
I have a table in which I have following fields:- RegionCountryVendorName
I want to create a form which will filter the data based on selection in previous form. (I dont want user to make any changes on the form i.e. Add,Edit or Delete) Hence i have kept all the fields on the form as "unbound".In my form I have CboRegion , CboCountry...For CboRegion i have created a select query which will filter data and shows me unique value. This part is working absolutely fine.
For CboCountry i have created parameter query based on selection made by user in CboRegion. The query name is QrySelectCountry which is showing under Row Source property.When i run the form and i select item in CboRegion the data in CboCountry is popping up correctly, but when i change the value in CboRegion the data is not updating in CboCountry. (If i hit F5 it is working fine but not updating automatically).
I tried afterupdate and change event of CboRegion by putting Me.Cbocountry.Requery or DoCmd.OpenQuery "QrySelectCountry" but still the data in CBoCountry is not updating.what needs to be done so that my fields will pop up data automatically.
I have a frmServiceOrder form that has a "datasheet type" sfrmSOItem subform with a combo box that allows a user to select service order items...
Problem: When I select a service order item in the dropdown, it doesnt place the item in the record...I have to select it a 2nd time in order to make it appear in the record. However, if I select the item by typing (i.e., via autofill) and hit the enter key, the item will populate in the record the 1st time.
I suspect it has something to do with my query joins. I hav played with various combinations and cant find a solution...
I have a form (PostProductionForm) which is used to input data about finished goods which come off a production line. There are three possible outcomes which can occur after the production: Passed, Reprocessed, Failed and the numbers for these are entered in 3 text boxes on the form (QtyReprocessedTxt, QtyFailedTxt, QtyPassedTxt).
These text boxes are auto populated with a 0 from the table (PostProductionTbl) so there aren't blanks.
What I am trying to do is use an IF function (I think) which says that if Quantity Reprocessed is equal to zero when the submit button is pressed, the "Reason for reprocessing" combo (RPReasonCombo) must have something selected (i.e. can't be blank) or it won't go to a new record.
