Combobox Rowsource Per Row On A Subform
Dec 4, 2012
I've go a subform with 2 comboboxes. It's a datasheet view.
The combobox controls are called cmb1 and cmb2 for the sake of this...
cmb2 is dependent on cmb1. So when you select a certain value in cmb1, cmb2.rowsource should get updated to use a certain table.
But the kicker is that this should be on a per row basis. So if on row 1 of the subform datasheet you set
cmb1=Manager, cmb2.RowSource should get set to 'tblManagers'.
Then on the next row, cmb1 is set to Directors, cmb2.RowSource should get set to tblDirectors.
But the cmb2.rowsource on row 1 is still set to tblManagers.

Hi all,
I have a combo box which gets it's values from a table. It also has a where statement to filter the data given the value in another combo box. I.e.
SELECT DISTINCT Table1.some_field FROM Table1 WHERE Table1.some_other_field = Forms!frmSomeForm.Combo_box
The first time I change the value in Combo_box combo box it will filter the values in my other combo box. But when I change it successive times it doesn't refresh the query, so the same values stay. Any suggestions?

I have a combo box which I define a SQL statement as its rowsource.
When I open the form, I have yet to define the SQL statement for the combo box.
My code is:
if me.cmbobox.listcount = 0 then
me.cmbobox.enabled = false
else
me.cmbobox.enabled = true
end if
But it shows the box as still enabled.
When I do debug.print me.cmbobox.listcount, it shows a value of 1. But that is impossible since I have yet to define a rowsource for it or its empty.
I also have column heading turned off too.

I have a Product form that shows the details of each of the Products in my Product table. I also have a "Pick a product" combobox (who's rowsource is being fed by the same Products Query that feeds the form). This allows you to go straight to a particular product by selecting its name. So far, so simple.
I've since added a couple of combobox filters which use different columns ("Product Type" and "Collection") to allow the user to get down to a more manageable recordset to then work with.
Of course, because the "Pick a Product" combobox is being fed by the Products Query, the combobox can end up showing products that are not contained in a filtered recordset. This is... sub-optimal.
Is there a way of telling the "Pick a Product" combobox to use the products listed in the recordset as its rowsource rather than the product query? So that it only lists the products the user has filtered down to?

I am trying to design an unbound combobox whose rowsource can be dynamically set based on a union query in order to search 1000's of names returning each name that contains a user defined string. The search does not start until the user defined string reaches 3 characters in length.
There are more details in the attachment but basically the vba code I used all saves OK in the vba editor but I get a runtime error 13 type mismatch when the code attempts to utilise the query to populate the rowsource of the combobox.

So I have a combobox in a form that lists the values of a field in a table. The rowsource is this:
Code:
SELECT [Estes Training Modules].[Training Module], [Estes Training Modules].[Period] FROM [Estes Training Modules] ORDER BY [Period];
The problem is that ALL values on that field show up, including repeated values. I only need each different value to show up once. How can I do that?
For example, what I get in the combobox is: Annual, 2-Year, Annual, Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...
What I need is: Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...

I would like to update the SQL for a subform. I have an SQL statement that I have placed into a string and now I would like to update the subform using it's RowSource property, but I get an error when trying to use the following statement:
Forms![frmModelSales].[frmModelSales-Subform-
QuestionableShip].RowSource = strSqlForSummary
(the message board has split this into two lines, it is really one)

I want to create a different rowsource-query for a lookup field (field1) in each record in a subform. The rowsource changes dependent on the value in another field (field2) in the same record. How can this be done?
- I tried to change the rowsource-query in an eventmacro when the focus is set to field1, but this ofcourse changes the rowsource for all field1's and makes the allready selected values unvisible.
- I think I have to include the value of record 'field2' in the rowsource query, but i cannot find a way to include that value in the query.
Something like:
Lookup field1 in the subform contains this rowsource
- SELECT CUSTOMER.Id, CUSTOMER.AGE, CUSTOMER.NAME
FROM CUSTOMERS
WHERE (CUSTOMER.AGE= me![field2]);
me![field2] however does not function

Hello guru's, I've searched the complete forum for the answer but I just can't find it. I've got a main form with 2 comboboxes on it. The first one filters the second one. What I need now is the 2nd combobox to filter the SubForm. I've tried to add a subform with the wizard but then it shows the complete table instead of only the ones selected in the second combobox.
I've got 3 tables: 1 for classes, 1 for students and 1 for the attendance.
The 1st combobox selects the class, the second one selects the student.
The 3rd table is used to enter absences (date, time, teacher etc) and it should appear in the subform when the student is selected.
Can anyone please give me a little advice? Thanks heaps in advanced! Sebastian.

I have a form called NewRequisitions that had a combobox in which the users select the Supplier (name, address, shipping details). I created a button to open a subform called NewSupplier so that they can add a new supplier to the Supplier table as needed. My code works okay for the first "NewSupplier" entry - the table and combobox are both updated and the new supplier is available for selection in the dropdown list. However, when there is a 2nd record that needs a NewSupplier added the combobox list doesn't get refreshed. The record is added into the table okay but you can only view it if the NewRequisitions (main) form is closed and then reopened.
Here is the code in my subform:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms(NewRequisitions).IsLoaded Then
'save the record if there have been any changes
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
'requery combobox on other form
Forms!NewRequisitions!ComboSupplier.ReQuery
'yield to other events - and put the new list into use
DoEvents
End If
End Sub
-----------------------------------
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!

On my main form I have a subform which holds two table values. [Roles] & [TrainLevel] example of this looks like this:
Plant Manager - T1
Assistant - T2
and so on for about 12 rows with different roles, each with different training levels.
This subform is then based on a query: [qryRoleEventWithRoles] which also looks at all the other selections, selected on the main form.
eg. User selects a training course on the main form, this then changes the subform and shows what level of training each role requires training in, T1, T2 etc..
All this has been working fine for months, almost a year. Each selection on the subform is based on using two combo boxes [Role] & [TrainingLevel] these are both setup on the subform and using the autonumber field, RolesID and TraininglevelID from two separate tables.
Like I say, this has been working fine. Now, all of a sudden, they've stopped working and telling me I can't change the valve because there bound to an autonumber value. or something like that.

I currently have a form with a combobox that I want to use to control a subform that I have inserted. Both the parent form and the subform are pulling data from a different table. From the combobox, I want the user to be able to choose a persons name, and then the subform will display each project that the person has worked on based on the name that has been chosen. The reason that I have a subform is so that the user is able to click through projects that pertain to a certain employee. I have the master fields and child fields linked on the employees name as there are not to many employees and the names are all unique.

I have this form where there's mention of CompanyID
In a subform, I have the information about all the contacts of this Company. In order to see full detail information for a particular contact (of that particular Company) I have a Combobox with a query.
At least: that's the whole idea. Unfortunately it doesn't work in Access:
SELECT Contact.ContactID, Contact.Name
FROM Contact
WHERE ((Contact.CompanyID)=(Me!frmCompany![ContactID]));
Can any help me? I need to do more of the sorts of queries... and I can't figure it out how to use values from forms and parent-forms.
Any help is appreciated,
Jazz

Hi well baisically the title explains the dilemma... I have a combobox in which the user selects an item and this updates the subform depending on the selection. However when i make a selection i get the following error:
Rumtime error '2101':
The setting you entered isnt valid for this property.
I understand what its telling me, however i cant seemed to find within the code where i have gone wrong, so heres the code:
Private Sub Combo4_AfterUpdate()
UpdateSubform
End Sub
Private Sub UpdateSubform()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim varWhere As Variant
varWhere = Null
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Sub_qry_CostCentre"
If (Me.Combo4 > 0) Then varWhere = " WHERE (CostCentre = " & Me.Combo4 & " )"
' MsgBox (strSQL & varWhere)
Me.Sub_frm_CostCentre.Form.RecordSource = strSQL & varWhere
Me.Sub_frm_CostCentre.Form.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
UpdateSubform
End Sub
Anyhelp will be much appreciated, i have been stuck on this issue for a number of hours and is becoming increasingly frustrating..
thanks

I am running into a problem with just one form in my database. I was getting the error 'Can't build a link between unbound forms'. After searching here and elsewhere the solution is/might be to type the linked fields into the child and master proprty fields. However when I do that I still can't get this form to work. Would anybody please take a look at the file attached - I trimmed it down to two tables with a few records and a form/subform.
I want to make a selection in the combo box and have the filtered results displayed on the form below - simple and I have done the same thing in the database elsewhere but I just can't see why it won't work here.
Thanks

So I have a Form (frmPositions) with a subform attached (fsubPosSkill).They are linked through Position ID frmPositions Record Source is qryPositionNeeds
Code:
SELECT tblPositionNeeds.PositionNeedsID, tblPositionNeeds.PositionID, tblPositions.Position, tblPositionNeeds.NeedsID, tblNeeds.NeedStatus
FROM tblPositions INNER JOIN (tblNeeds INNER JOIN tblPositionNeeds ON tblNeeds.NeedID = tblPositionNeeds.NeedsID) ON tblPositions.PositionID = tblPositionNeeds.PositionID;
It has two texts boxes on it [PositionID] and [NeedID]
fsubPosSkill Record Source is qryPositionSkills
Code:
SELECT tblPositionSkills.PositionSkillID, tblPositionSkills.PositionID, tblPositionSkills.SkillID, tblSkills.SkillName, tblPositionSkills.SkillValueID, tblSkillValue.SkillValue
FROM tblPositionSkills, tblSkills, tblSkillValue;
It has two combo boxes, cmbo1 and cmbo2.
cmbo1: control source is SkillID and Rpw Source is qrySkill
cmbo2: control source is SkillValueID and Row Source is qrySkillValue
when I open frmPositions, the subform shows only the combobox label in the header, there is no combobox that allows me to select Skill or Skill Value.

I have a main form that identifies a Client File: frmClientFile (Single Form)
On the main form is a subform for Cases: subfrmCases (Continuous form)
Also on the main form below the Cases subform is a tab control that contains additional subforms to view/update different aspects of a case: subfrmCaseClients (Continuous Form).
The way this operates is that the user first chooses a file using a combobox on frmClientFile.
The subfrmCases is linked to the main form (using the caseFileID) and filters correctly.
The subfrmCaseClients is then linked using some hidden text fields on the main form (using caseFileID, CaseID) and this filters correctly.
On subfrmCaseClients is a combobox (cboClientID) that I need to requery based upon the Case Row selected on subfrmCases.
I have tried numerous combinations of options to force the requery by trying to apply a macro on the following:
OnCurrent, OnSelectionChange, OnChange and AfterUpdate events to no avail.
If I hit F5 to refresh the entire page the combo box gets updated as expected.
How do I get the Requery to work programatically? Is this even possible?

I am trying to use a combo box to refresh a subform. I am working with Access 2007 as my front end and SQL 2014 on the back end. On my main form called frmDealers I have an unbound combobox where the user selects a dealer and then text boxes are populated with address and phone number. I have it unbound because I don't want the user to make changes to the dealership at this point. On the subform I have people that work at the dealership. That form is called sfrmDealerContacts. The subform could have multiple contacts for each dealership. The subform is bound to a query called qryDealerContacts. I have it bound to a query because I want email hyperlinks in the table too. I tried searching the forum and found this thread number 279791.
After searching I added:
Form_sfrmDealerContacts.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM dbo_DealerContact WHERE DealerID = " & Me![cboDealerName].Column(1)
But this brings up an input box so I must have something wrong. My code is:
Private Sub cboDealerName_AfterUpdate()
Me.txtDealerAddress = Me![cboDealerName].Column(2)
Me.txtDealerAddress2 = Me![cboDealerName].Column(3)
Me.txtDealerCity = Me![cboDealerName].Column(4)
Me.txtDealerState = Me![cboDealerName].Column(5)
[Code] .....

I do review SQL sometimes to check what's going on. Access has been a steep learning curve, but my understanding of queries and relationships improved a lot recently.Some of the finer points of forms are just giving me frustration. My form related knowledge probably lags behind my data/table/relationship/query related knowledge. Its probably simple, but as you know these things are not too intuitive at first.
I have a query which (built on another query and some tables in turn) delivers exactly the data I want. I want that data to come up in my form (or datasheet subform actually) BUT, I want to be able to filter for PERSON.ID. I want the user to be able to use a combo-box to do that filtering.
OK then, main form, with unbound combo-box at the top. I assume it should be unbound because I don't want any data edited based on selections which are supposed to cause temporary filtering only (correct me if I'm wrong). For the Row Source I've used a qryWholeName. This query creates a WholeName for each person, and includes their PERSON.ID as well.
[URL]....I cannot see the example DB they have attached in the thread. Finally, my database is likely to be accessed by several people at once. Different users will want to be selecting and filtering for different people simultaneously.

I have a main form with an unbound combo box. I also have a subform showing records in datasheet view.on the after_update event of the combobox I want to filter the subform. Here is my code (note frmqrysubmittals is the subform and the recordsource for the subform is initially the RS1 portion of code):Dim RS1 As StringDim RS2 As StringDim RS3 As StringRS1 = "SELECT tblSubmittals.SubmittalID, tblSubmittals.Format, tblSubmittals.[Specification Section], tblContractorInfo.Contractor, tblSubmittals.[Project Number], tblSubmittals.Description FROM tblContractorInfo INNER JOIN tblSubmittals ON tblContractorInfo.ContractorID = tblSubmittals.ContractorID"RS2 = " WHERE (((tblContractorInfo.Contractor)=" & Chr$(34) & Me.cboContractor.Value & Chr$(34) & "));"rs3 = RS1 & RS2Me.frmqrySubmittals.Form.RecordSource = rs3me.frmqrySubmittals.form.requeryWhen I update the cbo box the subform doesn't display any records. When I go to design view and look at the record source it displays the RS1 portion (the original RS), but all of the terms are placed in brackets []. Note, the subform and contorl are both named frmqrySubmittals.I've been at this for days. What am I doing wrong?Thank you everyone for your help. This group has been a great resource over the past few months as I stuble through learning Access.

I have an orders subform displaying the line items in an order.
I have two combo boxes in the subform that allow the user to select 'Product catagory' and 'Product'. To enter a product the user must first selct a product catagory which filters the products available for selection. If the exact product is not listed then on option to 'Add new item' must be offered
The problem:
At the moment the combo boxes show the same product catagory on every line of the order, even though each line is different and the second combo box is empty
How do I:
1. make the combo box only display the entry for the line it is on
2. force it to filter the available entries for the second combo box
3. offer an option in the second combo to 'add new item' (if the users selects this then Access should open the products entry form and pass the vale of 'Product catagory' from that line as a parameter to preset the form.
other info:
The data for the subform is generated by a query on 3 seperate tables all linked by relationships.
(tblProductCatagory, tblProducts, tblOrders)
The combo boxes are unbound
Thx.
Kev.

I am currently having trouble filtering my subform by a different column than the bound column set in properties.
the comobobox shows the ID for the last email sent, with the combobox drop down showing the name and date of email when dropped down. I have tried 2 things and neither work...
1) Calling the filter on the combo-box column itself:
Code:
Dim myDate as string
myDate = [Forms]![BenSearchForm]![BenSearchSub]![LastEmail].[Column(5)]
DateFilt = " AND" & myDate & " BETWEEN " & "Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date3],#1/1/1900#) AND Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date4],#31/12/2100#)"
I have used similar code on another form, but I can't get the myDate variable to get to value of the 6th column in the dropdown (Date Of Email). an Easier way to look at this would be:
Code:
DateFilt = " AND [Forms]![BenSearchForm]![BenSearchSub]![LastEmail].[Column(5)]" & " BETWEEN " & "Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date3],#1/1/1900#) AND Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date4],#31/12/2100#)"
2) Inside the subform, I have set up a seperate field that reads the result of the dropdown box column(5) and shows it. For example the Email with ID 22 has a date of 4/8/15, so any record with last sent email being 22 has a record that says 4/8/15. I am trying to use this value to filter between, but am unable of passing the value to my filter.
The textbox is called "Email Date" and the Control source is "=[Forms]![BenSearchForm]![BenSearchSub]![LastEmail].[Column](5)"
It shows the correct data, but does not allow me to filter by this field, when the apply filter button is pressed it asks me for the parameter value of the LastEmail Field.
Code:
DateFilt = " AND" & " [EmailDate] BETWEEN " & "Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date3],#1/1/1900#) AND Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date4],#31/12/2100#)"
I use a number of set variables for my filters, so my filter ends up looking like
Code:
.Filter = IDFilt + EmailFilt+ DateFilt
where all but IDFilt begin with AND. I use this on a number of other forms so I am sure this is not the issue!

I've got an access front-end database running on Access Runtime on a Terminal Server with a back-end on a data server both of which are hosted by a remote company and accessed via Terminal Services. All is well and the database is working fine but because this is a cloud system I need a way that I can easily delve into the tables on the back-end without copying it down locally from the cloud each time (I've set up an "administrator" option so that this would be available to limited users). I've got the front-end forms working as I'd like but I have quite a few tables and I'd like to avoid creating a separate form for every table. I've been able to populate a combobox on my form with the list of linked tables and I'd like that when I choose a particular table from this list that the whole table is then visible within a subform below in case I need to manually intervene with the data for any reason.
