I have a combobox with product description in it. If by mistake, I select a wrong value, then the other values are not refreshed. I have to close the form again and then reopen and reselect the values. What could be the problem? Any help?
View RepliesI set up several combo boxes to display Tables from msysobjects. The record source is using a WHERE clause to display certain tables both Linked and Local. Occasionally, when clicking the dropdown arrow, the box only displays local tables. This situation seems not to matter whether tables have been newly linked or unlinked. despite having both a me.requery and a me.refresh in the code and/or even clicking the Refresh All button on the ribbon menu, the form does not seem to update the combo box to display both linked and local tables.
In further testing, it seems that it is not a form issue because I took the SQL statement I used as the record source and created a new query with the sql string. The query behaved the same as the combo box, only listing out local tables.
My current work around is to close the database and reopen, then all is well. Hopefully there is another way to get the linked tables listed without this drastic step.
Don't think it's necessary, but here is the sql statement. Type 6 is linked.
Code:
SELECT msysobjects.name
FROM msysobjects
WHERE msysobjects.[flags] = 0
AND msysobjects.[type] in (1, 6)
AND Right([name],7)<>'_SOURCE'
AND Right([name],4)<>'_OUT'
AND msysobjects.name not in ('tblImport','tblImportFormats','tblUniversal') OR msysobjects.database=gblprojectname()
ORDER BY msysobjects.name, Right([name],7);
I have been using AYS2000 database example from Rogers access library. I have been in the process of modifying to meet my needs. Although I have run into a problem that was prevalent in the original database example. I have attached the original database for your reference.
Problem: At the bottom of the database beside the "New Response" button there are 2 combo boxes that allow you to select the survey and response in which you want to view in the subform. Although when selecting the response the subform does not always update the record in the subform. It would appear that the problem occurs only after a response has been previously selected. I have tried adding additional code to refresh and requery the subform already without any success.
This should be fairly simple, but it is driving me nuts trying to get it to work right. I feel like I'm chasing my tail.
Anyway, I have a query with three fields: "PersonnelID", "QualificationID", and "QualificationStatus". This is a query off of my large table for tracking qualifications; however, I am using a form with three combo-boxes for the same information. The first two combo-boxes (personnelID and QualificationID) are used to filter the query. This gives the result of one and ONLY one row in the query. A unique personnelID number, a qualificationID number and the qualification status of the record in question. I WANT to be able to automatically retreive the last field (qualificationStatus) from the query and display in the form (and then save in my new table - I know, shouldn't save calculations and such).
I have it working somewhat. I can select the first two combo-box fields and then when I click the third combobox for qualificationstatus, I only have one item in the dropdown menu and then I select it. So far, so good, but this only works for the first record that I am working on. If I do another record without closing the form first, the combobox selection for qualificationstatus still shows the previous entry. However, if I switch the form to design mode and then back to form mode, the combobox shows the correct value. I just can't seem to get the form to refresh prior to selecting the third combobox. I have tried "DoCmd.RepaintObject" after update on the second box and on focus for the the third box, but it still doesn't work unless I switch the views back and forth.
Any suggestions would be ever so gratefully appreciated...

I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate()
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable"
Else
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable"
End If
End If
End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
How would I modify multiple comboboxes in subforms at the same time. For example.. In main form ComboboxA user selects 1992, Combobox1 in subform1 is also changed to 1992, as well as Combobox2 in subform 2.
Whats the best way to do this?
I have 2 comboboxes, the first one is called "activity", whereby I have 3 options to choose from, and the second is called "level".
When I click an "activity", for example Drawings, I want the "level" combobox to list a unique set of options for that category. and if I click on a different "activity" for example Planning, I want the "level" combobox to show a completely different set of options.
If anyone can give me any help on how to do this then I would be very grateful!!
Thanks

I've tried searching the forums and haven't found quite what i'm looking for. I would like to be able to change the source for a combobox based on another combobox. The simplest way i can summarize that is i want to be able to choose A or B, depending on my choice i want another combobox to display all the values that A or B can have.
Thanks

I'm not sure I worded that very well. :(
Hey all,
I've read some tutorials on this sort of thing, but I can't seem to piece it all together to achieve what I want.
I have a table Products that contains the fields Product, Size and Brand. I also have a form, frmProducts, that has a combobox linked to each of the fields in the Products table. I want to be able to select a product from the first combobox, tab to the Brand combobox and have only those brands associated with the product already selected.
This is how I think it should work:
1.ComboBox1 selects productA
2.ComboBox2 takes its options from a query that searches Products table for all instances of productA and displays all available brands. brandA is selected.
3.ComboBox3 get its options from another query that searches for all instances of productA that also have brandA and displays all available sizes.
What I'm having trouble with in particular is passing the data between queries. For example, I can't figure out how to tell the query to search for all instances of productA when its defined by the first combobox. Do I have to store it as a variable somewhere?
I hope I've been clear.
I have two questions for someone
Is there a way to have the database auto refresh ?? If so how is that done
I use the service management template in Access. The problem we have is there a way to write a script to check for existing names when entering new ones. Like after entering all the information in a new record have it look at the first and last name and if it does exists have a alert come up stating that it already is there
THXS Steve
Hopefully this is an easy one...... Have a form... With two subforms. Info is entered into first subform... Second subform shows a recap of info entered. Kind of a running total of an "Average" based on info input on the first subform.
OK... Problem is... The second subform updates... requeries the info on close. I want it to update the info every time a new line or record is entered into the first subform. I have tried a couple of ".requiry"s on the first subform... but no luck. I'm not that hot with VBA yet.... And can't seem to get anything else to work. Solution????
Thanks
I have a form with one subform that lists trucking loads. The form is set to run modal. There is one button on the form to add new loads which when clicked opens a popup form to enter new load. When you click on the Save button on the popup form it saves load to table and closes taking you back to the Form/subform with list of trucking loads. I have tried various refresh tips to get the new load to show, but I have to close the Form/subform and re-open for the new load to show up. Is there a way I can get the Form/subform to refresh after I click the save button on add load popup form so it shows this new load without the need to close/re-open the Form/subform?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my database, I have a form that has 2 subforms on it. Both subforms are set to run off a query that is driven by a text field on the main form. I want to have a button on the form that when pressed, it will refresh the subforms based on the value in the textbox. I can't find a good way to go about this, any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All!
Can anyone help with the following problem?
When clicking a button on a form the code behind that button minimizes that form and loads a second form which just has a label on it stating "Please Wait........" and then my database carries out a number of functions. However, it takes a long time for the "Please Wait...." message to appear and so the user has a blank screen for some time. Is there any way of delaying the database carrying out any other action until the "Please Wait..." message is visible? I have tried:
FORMS![FRM_WAIT].REFRESH
but this does not work. Any ideas most appreciated.
Regards.
:confused: I have a listbox which using "Table/Query" RowSourceType lists all records in table of Access 2003. The Add Record button clicked, a new record will be inserted to table, and then requery listbox.
But it's so strange, the record already existed in table, but listbox still doesn't refresh after requery, I have to presss F9 several times to refresh manually. The update record button clicked, the listbox doesn't refresh too, but when I check the value of the row, the value is new value, but ths listbox on screen shows old value. for deleting, has the same problem.
So I'm not sure, if this is a bug of Access, or I missed something have to do. I already tried many way to solve this problem (sleeping, check if updated listbox, etc), all of them aren't work well.
Please give me a help!!!

I did it, but it didn't work. Ever I looped 10 times.
you could try requerying the list box on the onclick event of the Add record Button
listboxname.Requery

Hello everybody,
I have many front end's (using ACCESS 2007 runtime version) in different terminals. Suppose that from 'terminalA', I am assigning a task to an employee who's using 'terminalB'. The user is already looged on to the program by this time, so I want that 'task' to appear on his terminal without him having to press the 'Refresh' button (that I placed on the form) every time I give him a new task when he's logged on so he could see it. How would I do this?
Thank you very much.

your immediate reply will be highly appreciated

Hello, I have a problem maybe you guys can help me with.
I have a text field, and I did those code for it:
Private Sub SearchRecord_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
dim strSQL As String
dim search As String
search = Me.searchField
strSQL = "SELECT [Mytable].[mycolumn], [Mytable].[mycolumn2] FROM [Mytable] WHERE [Mytable].[mycolumn] = '" & search & "';"
Me.ListBox1.RowSource = strSQL
Me.ListBox1.Requery
End Sub
As I type it in it doesn't seem to change the RecordList list box. When I put in a message boxlike this:
MsgBox ("anything doesn't matter")
Me.ListBox1.RowSource = strSQL
Me.ListBox1.Requery
End Sub
It works, and it brings lists my query in the list box as I type, which is what I like, but it keeps bringing up the annoying MsgBox. So what I did is, I removed the text box, and tried running it again (didn't work again), so I type in the query without the last letter, so instead of "Smith" I typed in "smit" then I right-clicked (in form view) the list box and hit Properties. I didn't change anything just closed the properties again, as I typed in "h" to finish "Smith" it found it and displayed it (worked). When I deleted the whole thing in the text box and no matter what I type it still doesn't change the text box (even though it should make it blank because it didn't find anything), so it remains Smith it found last time and wont' get refreshed. When I hit properties and close it and as I type in another letter it querries it (something that it wouldn't find results for) and it erases my old Smith entry, and displays no results (what it should do).
This is very weird and it somehow needs some user acknolwedgement or something in order to change the row source of this object, regardless if it is a property box or a message box. Is there any way I can make it work without the message box and not having to right-click properties anc close it every time I type in a letter for it to work propertly?
Thank you very much for your help iin advance.
Good day all!
I have a field on my form based upon a parameter query to assist the data entry person. Because of the number of entries possible, I thought it might be a good idea to narrow the possible selections based upon a possible name string e.g. I used LIKE "*" & [Enter some portion of the firm name to search on:] & "*" in the specific field criteria of that underlying query. The question I have is: after the first record is built and the field is filled, what do I need to do to get the same prompt in the next record? Only by exiting and re-entering do I get the prompt again. I'm not VB event proficient yet so I hope someone has seen this scenario before.
Thanks in advance.

Refreshing a sub form.
I have a form in which a 'read-only' sub form is placed. The sub form is based on a query. I have a button on the main form which opens another form with check boxes which allows updates the to table.
I want the readonly subform to refresh/requery after the close event of the update form.
What is the event I need to use? I've tried activate, gotfcous on the main form. I am tearing my hair out.
Hi all
I am sorry if this has been asked already a million times already but I could not find any relavant information in the time I had.
I have a requery / refresh problem.
I have a Customers form showing all customers, I also have a NewCustomer form for adding new customers.
On the Customer form, on activate I have me.refresh
On the NewCustomer form I have in the onclose,
If IsLoaded("Customers") Then
Forms!Customers.Requery
These work well however if Customers is open and I enter a new record in the New Customer Form, then view the Customer form again the new record is not shown.
I can however click back on the NewCustomer from then straight back to Customers and Hey Presto it appears
Any clues as to what I need to do to update the form?
Thank you in advance for your help
Hi All,
I have one main form in which i have 2 subforms on different tabs.All the forms are unbound. Basically i am trying to assign a order to multiple persons.SO the main form has the order information.1st subform shows the already assigned persons and the second one is for assigning new persons.
The problem i am having is that whenever i assign a new person using the second subform i want to refresh the first subform but i am failing in it.
i used forms!firstsubform!refresh on the second subform..but it says object doesnt support the property or method.Then i create a refresh button on the first subform and on its click event i m doing me.refresh but again its failing.
The first subform is not bound and it has datasource as a querry like select a,b,c from order where orderid=txtorderid.
Any help on this pl.thanks
Hello,
I have a small anoying problem that I'm hoping someone can help resolve.
On my main form I have a text box that shows the current number of members that are in the database. The default count is for all members whether they are active or inactive. On this same form I have a list box that I select whether I want to display active, inactive or all. When I select Yes, for example, the text box doesn't display the current count until I either move off the current record or I go to the Records menu and select Refresh.
I have the following in the control source of the text box.
="(" & Dynaset.RecordCount & " " & "Members Found)"
In the After Update event of both the text box and the list box I have added a requery statement.
Text Box:
Me.Requery
List Box:
Text96.requery
I've searched through this forum and all indications are that this should work. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chris
What is the best way to refresh a form that has check boxes, list boxes, and text fields ? The table used as source was cleared, but the form was not.
