I am designing a contact management system and have hit a bit of a wall. I am farily new to Access so please advise if I am going about this the totally wrong way.
I have three tables; Contacts, Companies, Company_Addresses
Contacts:
ContactID (P)
CompanyID
OfficeName
Companies:
CompanyID (P)
Company_Addresses:
CompanyID
OfficeName (P)
What I want is when adding a contact, to have a drop down list in the CompanyID field showing all the companies in the Companies table, and then in the OfficeName field, have a list of only the offices related to the company selected in the previous field.
I can do the first list, but cant work out how to list only data related to the company selected in the previous field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I currently have a form that only shows data based on a specific record id. I have placed a list into that form though that has multiple record ID's listed ( It's a log). How do I get a List to Filter to just the Record ID that corresponds to the current form Record.
What I have are as follows:
A form that has client information : Address, phone numbers, Etc.
On that form I have Pages. one of the pages contains a List.
That List however contains information from multiple clients based on Point of Contact ( Call Log)
What I want is a way to narrow the List to only show those that corresponds to the Current Client Record.
Is this possible? If my approach is wrong, which is a better way?
Another problem bothering me. Wish someone can help me to solve it. I am doing the 'Edit' Option right now ... As a user friendly propuse, I had try to use a combo box to let user to choose my employee record with all the detail on but the problem is the program 'JUST' list the record they can not go to the current record!! When i try to edit my record, the program is not allow (for sure because they can't have a duplicate record on it). The reason is because the record just stay in the FIRST record but can not go to the current record. I do believe is the problem of i using the way of listing the record as below: Me.EmployeeName = Me.EmployeeName.Column(0) Me.IC = Me.EmployeeName.Column(1) Me.Nationality = Me.EmployeeName.Column(2) Me.Race = Me.EmployeeName.Column(3) Me.Sex = Me.EmployeeName.Column(4) Me.FMU = Me.EmployeeName.Column(5) Me.Position = Me.EmployeeName.Column(6) Me.SectionField = Me.EmployeeName.Column(7) Me.DOEmploment = Me.EmployeeName.Column(8) Me.DOResign = Me.EmployeeName.Column(9) Me.Remarks = Me.EmployeeName.Column(10)
So, Could someone help me to solve it like when i can use the combo box to select the Employee record with the details are on as the same time can go to current record... Thanks alot!!!
i do have the confident if i can go to the current record then my edit option can be working properly.
P/S: I had attach the picture... showing my program problem (with the red circle)
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
I have a list box that my client goes through with vbKeyDown and vbKeyUp. When he finds the correct record he wants to do vbKeyReturn and capture the checktype code and description and have them placed in a check which is another form that is open. The following code does not work:
Private Sub List3_KeyDown(KeyCode as integer, Shift as Integer) If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then Forms!frmChecks![TRA{CODING = Me.CurrentRecord.Column(1) Forms!frmChecks![TRA:CODEDESC] = Me.CurrentRecord.column(2) DoCmd.Close adForm, "frmCheckType", acSaveNo KeyCode = 0 End If
Hi. First of all, this is my first post, so tell me if I'm being stupid.
I have a simple form, 'BuildingID', which contains a list box and two buttons. The list box lists a field from the records in the table 'BuildingID'. The two buttons are 'Add Building' and 'Delete Building'. The 'Add Building' button works fine, but I cant figure out how to make the other one work.
I want to be able to single click one of the records in the list box, then hit the 'Delete Building' button to delete the entire record. So I'm guessing I have to somehow make the record that I click on in the list box current when I click on it, then have a standard delete record button.

right, struggling here. Basically I have continuous form listing all the standard letters sent out when I double click on a letter, I need to to run a query for me. The code I have put behind the button is: If ([StandardLetterType] = "Homework") Then DoCmd.OpenQuery ("qryHomeworkClearMailMerge") DoCmd.OpenQuery ("MergeHomework"), , , , , acDialog, Me.[StandardLetterID] DoCmd.OpenReport ("rptHomework"), acViewPreview Else ' end if
and in the query I am first clearing the mailmerge yes/no field out which works fine and then running the merge to put the yes back in the current record so the query looks like this
Its an update query with update to yes for mailmerge and under the standard letter ID i have the criteria [Me].[OpenArgs]
is this completely wrong tried the [Forms!][frmFullStudentReport].[standardletterID] but it kept popping the box up asking for the number.
On the form I have the standardletterID and its hidden but there.
Having a problem with a report, I have a form that i use to enter a new record to my database, what I want to do is put a button at the bottom of the form to print the record (via a report)
If I base this on a record that already exists, it works fine. However, If I have just entered the record the query the report runs off doesn't see the new record. To print that record I have to exit the completed record, then go back in to it and print. My aim is to remove this additional part of the process, I'm sure it's something really simple, but can anyone help?
I have a form which displays records of our products, on that form I have now put a list box which displays the ancillaries to the products.
both the form and the list box run off queries.
I have the same unique identifiers in both queries.
I need to filter the listbox by the unique identifier every time I move record.
At the moment the list box stays populated with all the ancillaries, how do I filter it programatically to list only the ancillaries with the same unique identifiers as in the current record?
I need to Print a single record from a form but using a report layout.
I have created the form and created a report. A button on the Form kciks off the print but I get all records rather than just the one shown on the Form. Whats a really simple way of just selecting the Current record.
Where do I put an instruction saying print only this record:confused:
btw, although values will always be in order they may not all be output, so it's not just case of odd, even, odd, even (that would be too easy!)
I can retrieve the Previous Record's GroupNo value (via a function) in another text box and compare current GroupNoID with this in the Format Expressions and manage to change the colour, but it won't sustain this new colour for the subsequent same GroupNos, obviously as the values have changed.
So how can I....
Change the colour when the value changes. Keep this new colour until it the value changes (increases) again.
I am working on converting someones Paradox Database to Access and making some modifications.
I have a table with people in it and they are linked to a number of interests. But i am struggling to create a query so that on each page of the form for the person i can call the interests and display them on the form as a list...
If anyone could point me in the right direction that woul dbe appreciated!
Give me mysql and a bit of php anyday!! hehe
I am using Access 2007 but i have used access before so i should be able to work my way through instructions for 2003.
I can't get my combo box to do what I want. I think I need a line of code - (but I don't know how to write code !!)
I have two combo boxes on my form. The first one is used to enter a Client name (ClientID). I want to use the second combo box to enter a ClientPartner(PartnerID). But I want the drop down choice of ClientPartner to be restricted only to the ClientPartners at the Client selected in the first box.
They are related in tables (one ClientID can have many PartnerIDs).
My query tests OK, when I manually enter a ClientID. It doesn't work when I attach it to the combo box. I can see why - I need something that says "take the ClientID of the record on the CURRENT form". In the absence of this, its always taking the first ClientID in the database.
Here is the code behind the second ComboBox.
SELECT t_ClientPartners.PartnerID, t_ClientPartners.Name, t_ClientPartners.ClientID FROM t_ClientPartners WHERE (((t_ClientPartners.ClientID)=[Forms]![f_Deals]![ClientID])) ORDER BY t_ClientPartners.Name;
How do I make it do what I want? Is this something to do with Set Focus?
I want to create a combo box on a form where I can choose between 5 company names, and upon my choice, I want a list box or another combo box to display the departments under the company I chose (each company has different departments), and when I choose the department, I want to another combo box to display the limited job titles under that department.
For example: I choose company A > combo box displays the 5 departments under company A (dept.1,2,3,4) I choose dept. 4 > display job titles under dept. 4
hi all, I have three values in a record labelled "Local, National & Rural", I want the user to be able to select one of these options, (e.g. Local) and then be able to right click and sort be selection.
However, when I lock the combo box, you can't select anything but if it is unlocked, it changes the current record to whatever the combo box has selected.
I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done 2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
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 am trying to put together a form where employees will be entering maintenance information into my database. One of the requirements for this data is that when they perform repair work on an asset, they have to list a problem, cause and remedy. These are codes that are specific to each asset.
The closest thing I can think of to what I am trying to acheive is the selectors on car search websites. You select a MAKE, and then the MODEL list is narrowed down based on that, then you pick the TRIM, which is narrowed down based on the model selection. I have an Excel spreadsheet of the Assets(Failure Class), Problems, Causes, and Remedies...I'm just not sure how to put this into Access to get the desired output. I have attached a sample of the Excel spreadsheet for illustration.
I believe I'm going to have to put each of the columns in a seperate table and use relationships..but I'm not sure about that.
I have an add record command button that will bring up a blank record where the user can fill in the information. My question is how do I get this record to be added to the combo list that will bring up the record i just filled out? I hope that makes sense. thanks
Please refer to the pic 'figure1' to review my question. Thanks.
I need to use a combo box to select the employee name and show the following Ref No. by using the list box. is it possible to do that? If can make it, how bout i need to delete the selected record, any idea for that? Thank you.
I have a table with some combo selections with row source No;Yes, bound column 1, column count 1, and default value "No", limit to list set to yes, required = yes, allow zero length = no.
When I create a new record though, all of the combos show 0, and I have to select No or Yes manually. The requirement is that No is the default value..
I have a search form with 1 combo box and a button which when the user inputs an invoice number and clicks the button, a main form is opened for that particular record.
The problem I have is to display an error message before the main form opens if the user has either left the combo box blank or they have input an invoice number that doesn't exist.
i have a form based on a table.The key column of the table is a combo box in the form , if i select a particular value in the combo box then i have to diaplay the all the fields in the record on the form automatically based on that particular value.
Ofcourse it is a simple task, but today only i am trying my hand in VB for the first time in my life.... so i find it difficult to find the answer.......
