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.
Any ideas?
I have a form that has four combo boxes on it that enable the user to select entrants in a golf tournament for tee off times and tee. (I have attached part of this database to this post) It all works fine but after selecting the first player in the first combo box and then selecting the second combo player I would like the player selected previously not to show up. Is this possible or do I have to rethink the way players are selected.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am building a tracking database where we would be able to track information which field are null data and report them to our Administration to fill the null data. For this I have created a form name "Search" and I have a combo box control on that form which is bound to "Table = employee" and its ROW SOURCE TYPE="Field List", I would like to able to query records where the selected value in this combo box is null through out the table.
For example if I select "Telephone" from this combo box dropdown, I would like the query to show all the records where the "Telephone" is null, how to set the criteria in query to take the combo box value as "Field Name" and then compare it with the Field/Column in the table and show the null values.
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...
Thanks in advance for your help.
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 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.
Any ideas?
hello everyone
i created 4 tables
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
can anyone tell me how to se filter command?
Thank you

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

Can someone please help me?
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.

Hi all,
I have created a form to enter downtime information using the fields from downtime table (as follows)
tblDowntimes
fldDowntimeID (PK)
DateOccured
MaterialCode
ShiftID (FK)
LineMachineID (FK)
DTCategoryID (FK)
DTReasonID (FK)
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?
Any assistance much appreciated!!
thanx all,

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.
Does anyone have any ideas?

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 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...
Any clues?
Thank you.
Hello,
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.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance for assistance.
hi

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.
I have a request from users to have a combo box in the form header defaulted to the selected object when they open the form or search on a new person (same object they want to be default). Currently it defaults to the first box in the detail section. (I hope this makes sense)
I believe I can do it with events, just wanted to know if there is a different way.
I want a Messagebox to be appear if the selected item or if the input item in the combobox was not in the record.
I used this condition in combobox
="[asstnumbr] = " & "'" & [Screen].[ActiveControl] & "'"
but when I try this run code function in macro via IFF will become error
IIf([asstnumbr]<>"'" & [Screen].[ActiveControl] & "'",MsgBox("NO RECORD FOUND IN YOUR SEARCH"))

My question is i created a form with a combo box linking it to the accountstbl and Accountname field. When i click on the combo box it lists all my Accountnames from the accountstbl which i want but i want to click on an account name and once selected it will show a report of the selected name.

Simples is me select name from combo box and voila you have a report of your selected account name.

Hi,
I have recently learned the use of 'ysnprint' (I am a novice), but wondered if there was an a way of selecting individual adresses in my db to exclude from the full address label printing.
Thanks for any help

I have a form that our operators use to do their hourly quality audits on. This is getting to be a huge burden on them because right now, they enter the date, the week ending date, the month every time they have to do an entry, and for me it is a nightmare because they can still enter the wrong information. So, what I was wondering is if there is a way that I can have them select the date from a combo box (easy enough), but from that, have the week ending date and the month fields automatically update as well. Any advice? I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much!!!!
