Combobox Won't Auto-search When Multiple Periods Are In Entry
Jul 27, 2005
I'm having trouble finding an entry anywhere about this, although I'm sure I'm not the first person to come across it...
When I am typing my entry into a combobox it begins to autosearch, highlighting the part of the entry that it finds that matches the beginning that I typed in (as a normal combobox does in access).
However, when the entry it finds has multiple periods in it (i.e.: S.T.A.R) it stops searching and does not highlight the remainder of the entry it moved to. I'm not sure that searching is the correct term, which may be why I can't find any information on this, but is there a way to correct this problem?

When you put a combo box to search the values in a form what happens if there are more than one (in my case) name that matches the criteria. ie: if you search for Smith and there are 10 people with the surname of Smith it brings up the first record. is there a way of doing adding a "search again' function so you can look for another Smith?

I have a MS Access database that tracks when packages are received, returned, etc from different agencies. I need to create a query or report that shows how many packages were received, returned, etc PER MONTH, PER AGENCY. I was able to create a query that listed all the "Date Pkg Rec'd" dates for October (Between #10/1/2004# and #10/31/2004#), but I don't want a listing of all of the dates, rather a total of the records within those timeframes PER AGENCY. For example, APHIS 10, FAS 3, etc.
The other problem I have is I need this done across many columns without excluding those records without an October date (for example) in them. For example, I could have a "Date Pkg Rec'd" date in October, but not an October date listed in the "Date Pkg Returned" column.
Basically, I need the simpliest way to generate monthly "record totals" for several fields.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I currently have a form that creates a report based on a query that takes in a start date and an end date.
What I would like to do is to create comboboxes that will let the user choose a month and year for the report.
Is there a simple way to choose an entire month in access? I've tried using the Month() function to no avail.
The SQL statement for where I select the start and end date is below:
WHERE ((([tblData].[EntryDate])
Between [Forms]![frmByRange]![BeginningDate] And [Forms]![frmByRange]![EndingDate])
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
I've got a data entry form where orders can be created. Within this form there is a ComboBox which is used to search for items and stores the selected item ID in the Order table. However the field for storing the Unit Price relating to the selected item is currently manually enterable. Where as I would like this to be dependent on the item selected within the ComboBox and updated automatically.
At the moment I've added an extra colum to the ComboBox to retrieve the relevant Unit Price and I can show this in a normal seperate text box using '=Combo27.Column(1)' as the ControlSource.
How can I get rid of the text box and incorporate the code into the current UnitPrice field so as it inserts the relevant record (price) into the UnitPrice coloumn of the Order table?
Any help on this would be much appreciated!

I am new to Access and I am trying to update our existing database. Presently our database is used to report incidents that have multiple subjects per incident. Is there a way to have a field recognize the data ie. the last name of an individual, and automatically fill in the remaining fields for that individual without having to fill in each field over and over again?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello All,
I was hoping someone could tell me the correct method of performing my intented function.
I would like for Access to Auto Input data from another table based on one entry in the current table.
Table 1 consists of Field 1 (Part Number), Field 2 (Serial Number) & Field 3 (Description).
Table 2 has Field 1 (Part Number) & Field 2 (Description).
Based on the info from table 2, how do I get the program to auto input Field 3 from table 2 (when I type in Field 1 in table 1)?
Thanks in advance

Hi i was wondering, i have two forms in my database.
On one of the forms when doing a combo box wizard i can select the option to "find a record on my form based on the record i selected in my combo box" but on the other form in the same database which i have it does not give me this option.... Does anyone know why this is so... Is it a relationship issue with all the tables???
If it is a relationship issue is there another way around this so i can do this option but without changing the relationships... Any help would be greatly appriciated...
Thanks Alot

I have a simple table called CUSTOMER with contact details on there...First NameSurnameDate of BirthAddress 1Address 2Address 3Town/CityCountyPost CodeemailetcI have a second table called TOWN_COUNTY_REGION that lists all the towns and cities in the UK. Each Town/City is listed with its corresponding County and Region. This table has 3 fields...Town/CityCountyRegionThe TOWN field in the CUSTOMER table is populated by the user selecting from a list of towns in the TOWN_COUNTY_REGION table. When a user clicks the town that they are in, I would like the appropriate COUNTY and REGION fields to be automatically populated in the CUSTOMER table. So, for example, if the user clicks LIVERPOOL from the list of towns and cities, Merseyside and Northwest should automatically be populated in the other 2 fields.How do I do this ??Many thanksAllan

Hi,
On my form, we can enter time off for employees. This is working pretty well, but we have some employees that have flex days every other week or even once a month.
What I would like to make possible on my form, when the user is inputing the data, He makes the initial entry, and then he has an option (checkbox?) that they can select to make this same entry every (week, other week, or 1 month from the date). Have it repeat for a year out maybe, so if the user has every other friday off. It will make an entry for every other friday for the next year.
I've been searching the forum, and I've been reading on the dateadd function. But I'm not sure how to implement it on this form, not sure if there is a way to make it repeat for a year? Also not sure if it's possible (or if that's the best choice) to have checkbox for choices using it?
Any ideas suggestions?
Thanks
Chris.

I have a table
(Not real names)
AutonumberPK
RequestType (Lookup to TypeTable)
RequestNumber
RequestName
This table then Relates to a request detail table.
The question here,
There are two types or request (T1 and T2)
In my form to enter new Requests I will have a dropdown box to select the type of request.
The next field is the request number. If the type of request is T1 then the person entering the request will have a 6 digit number to enter. But if the request is T2 then I need to auto populate the field.
Is this possible?
Or should I just build two forms, one for each type.
Also what would be the best way to auto fill in a number that follow this pattern.
05040001
05 = year
04 = month
0001 = the number of the request for this month.
Every month starts over at 0001

I have a form that contains an autonumber field. Before any data is entered into the form that field displays the word "(Autonumber)".While it does this the subforms on my form that use that same field to run their querys are empty
Code:
Me.AllowAdditions = True
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
[Forms]![InvoiceForm]![CreateNewRecord] = True
Me.AllowAdditions = False
[CreateNewRecord] is just a invisible tickbox that is used to enter some data on the form; I don't want to use it but haven't found another solution.
Anyway. When the user opens the form they have to press this button Unless a new record was previously created and that's confusing. I'd like it in the form load event except I can't "see" the value of the field while it displays "(Autonumber)".My code for the form load is:
Code:
If InvoiceNumber.Value = Null Then
Command82_Click
End If
Where invoicenumber is the autonumber field and command82 is the new record button.

I've seen comboboxes before that by typing the first letter of the word your looking for it will go to the first word matching that letter, but then by typing that letter again it will go to the next word starting with that letter:
Such as in a "Choose Your State" box by typing "M" it selects Massachusetts then by typing m again it selects Maryland, the third time it selects Maine... and so on. I would like to add this to a cbobox on a form but havent had any luck. I have searched the forum but didnt find anything pertaining to this. Any help or suggestions on where to get this info is greatly appreciated.

I would like to let vba select all (one after the other) values in a combobox and run a query. The code has to be run using a Do While Loop for which I already made the condition.The reason I want to automate this is to allow the user to quickly add new links in the database. The combobox is used in multiple queries.I rather code it than make new queries for this situation because it involves many queries that would have to be added.

I have a database of daily reports.
There are three shifts per day. 0800-1600, 1600-2400, and 2400-0800.
I ran the combobox wizard and asked it to "find a record based on the value I selected in my combo box."
I chose (and I know these are misnamed fields) field 3 which is the date field and field 2 which is the shift field.
Then I tested the combo box.
I click on the down arrow of the combo box the date and shift is displayed. For some reason tho when I select a date/shift, eg. 12/12/2004 | 1600-2400 the right record pops up as far as the date is concerned but the 2400-0800 shift record comes up. I select 11/25/2004 | 0800-1600 and again the right date but the same 2400-0800 record is displayed. Why is the right date but the wrong shift being displayed?

I would like to create a combobox on a form in which a user has three selections: negative, positive, other.
If negative is chosen a textbox auto-populates with "none detected".
If positive is chosen the text box populates with "positive" and
If other is selected the text box populates with "unspecified".

I am having problems having my combo box auto fill the next text box. The table it pulls from is called Code-LeaseProvision and it has only 2 columns in it. So when built the combo box it pulls the both rows. One is labeled "Code" and other other "ProvisionDescription" I have it set when you use the combo box it fills Code but it will not fill the next text box labeled "ProvisionDescription". So when I put the event into the ProvisionDescription afterupdate as a VBA code. This is what I have:
Private Sub desc_AfterUpdate()
Me.[ProvisionDescription] = Me.[Code].Column(1)
End Sub
It fills the combo box but will not fill and update the LeaseProvision Text box.

I am creating a student database. I have crated a single table for this database and a form. Two combo boxes. I have created these two combo boxes named (Documents Submitted and Documents pending).
These two boxes I created using "Lookup coloumn". I selected "I will type in the values that I want" for both the boxes. After I filled the values in both as (CV, Ielts, Passport Copy, Certificates, photo id). After this I gave the name and selected "Allow multiple values".
Now in my form it shows both the combo boxes and in both the boxes it shows CV, Ielts etc. I can select multiple Items in both the boxes. I hope I am clear up to here.
Now at this point these two boxes (Document Submitted and Documents pending) are showing items (documents names) separately. What I want is to combine the values of both. I want to do is, if I select "CV, IELTS, passport copy" in document submitted box, rest of the pending names (Photo ID, Certificates) should automatically be filled in Document pending box. What ever I didn't select in Document submitted box should appear in Document pending box.
For better understanding i am attaching my file with it.

Hi all
I reread this and it was way to long. What I want to do is use a combo box to list values from a table field, when an option is selected, the rest of the fields update. Not sure what I have to do to achieve this. Any advise would be welcome.

I have created a basic Volunteer Events and Hours Volunteered tracking database.
I created a form Volunteer Hours to allow an end user to use that form to record the volunteer and hours volunteered on a specific Event. There are two tables needed in the form Volunteer Hours to be used for the end users to record the Event, Volunteer, Date and Hours. The form has drill down fields from two tables:
Table A - Volunteer Events (event name, date, descr, owner, co-owner, loc, status)
Table B - Volunteers (name, co, div, emp#,title)
I want to be able to select the Volunteer Event and have the event date automatically populate in the Volunteer Hours form date field when the Event is selected to eliminate the end user from having to enter the date in.
Also; I would like to be able to add more than one volunteer at a time to an event on the form, this would also decrease the data entry time.
Are one or both of these things possible?

Hi,
I am trying to build a form that allows the user to INPUT stock as it arrives. This is simple with a product form that shows all the products in the table. I just go to the quantity field and change it.
But, I want to create a 'search' function in the field. I want to allow the user to type in the Product number. Then the Product name, Product Price and Quantity is AUTOMATICALLY displayed.
The user can then change this value (items in stock).
Thats pretty much the jisst of what I wanna do.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Below is the main data entry form of my application. We disrtibute a product called MC Cloth to Shops to display. After a month we visit again and take stock of products sold, replenish and the shop pays for the products sold.
the Database keeps a record of the shop, products displayed, refilled, sold and respective payments.
The dtabase and the form is loaded in Handheld (PDAs) by the sales people who enter data during the visit and then synchronise with a master on return
http://affiliatesexcel.com/MC_main_form.jpg
I need to sum up values in one field for example MC Refill from the first record till the new record and show it in another field, for example MC Refill Total
Another Forum answer to my question about summing up values in one field to be used as default in a second field showed that a search needs to be done based on base field (in this case NAME of customer).
However since I use a COMBO BOX to enter this NAME field values and then select it from a pull down list to create new records, I have this value ONLY in the very first Record. All subsequent records have all other values where as the NAME value remain empty.
NameCust_IDRecordNumAddress
whs01ggggggggg
02qqqqqqq
03mmmmm
04nnnnnnnnn
05ooooooo
06pppppp
Kickstart08xyz
09898989898
012mmp
013qty
This makes the search function impossible based on the NAME value.
As a solution I would like to AUTOMATICALLY copy the NAME value to a second field (for example CUST_ID) during creation of each NEW RECORD so that I can then base my search on this field instead of the Name field (with empty values)
Currently I have the code below which works correctly for entering NEW Data and for recalling by Pull Down .
(I have tried a mehod which entered the values for
all records but this clutter up the Pull down with SAME
Name for repeated records making the PULL DOWN unusable.)
I have tried to copy the Name value to Cust_ID value for each new record but the code gives an error.
+++++++++++
Code:
Private Sub Name_Combo_AfterUpdate()
' This procedure tries to find the matching product's record.
' If the matching record is found, the procedure goes to it.
' If the record isn't found, the focus stays on the current record.
Dim Criteria As String ' This is the argument to the FindFirst method.
Dim MyRS As Recordset ' Recordset used to search.
Dim ComboName As String ' The name of the company to search for.
Const IDYES = 6
Set MyRS = Me.RecordsetClone
' Build the criteria.
ComboName = Chr$(34) & Screen.ActiveControl & Chr$(34)
Criteria = "[Name]=" & ComboName
' Perform the search.
MyRS.FindLast Criteria
If MyRS.NoMatch Then
Response = MsgBox("Could not find the Supplier Name: " & ComboName & " Do you wish to register a New Supplier: " & ComboName & " in this Database?", 4 + 48)
If Response = IDYES Then
MyRS.AddNew ' Create new record.
MyRS("Name") = Screen.ActiveControl
MyRS.Update ' Save changes.
MyRS.Move 0, MyRS.LastModified ' Go to new record
Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark ' Go to new record
Else
GoTo Endsub
End If
Else
MyRS.AddNew ' Create new record.
MyRS("Name") = Screen.ActiveControl
MyRS("Cust_ID") = MyRS("Name")
MyRS.Update ' Save changes.
MyRS.Move 0, MyRS.LastModified ' Go to new record
Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark ' Go to new record
'Me.Bookmark = MyRS.Bookmark
Dim recNo As Long
' for this to work there cannot be any RecordNumber with a value of 0
' it finds the highest record number for the name in the combo box
' and returns 0 and exits if no record found.
recNo = Nz(DMax("[RecordNum]", "Miracle_Cloth_Main", "[Cust_ID]='" & Me.Cust_ID & "'"), 0)
Debug.Print "RecordNo: " & recNo & " and Name: '" & Me.Name_Combo & "'"
If recNo = 0 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Me.Text90.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord "'" & recNo & "'", acAnywhere, , acSearchAll, , acCurrent
End If
Endsub:
MyRS.Close
End Sub
+++++++++++++++++++++++
The question is is there an easier way to
achieve the summing function ?
Any help is greatly appreciated as always.

When you use a combobox to search values in the form - and someone searches for a value that isn't there - the form just defaults to the first entry. Is there a way of putting a message box that says "This is a new patient" (or something like that). The NotInList event doesn't work - any ideas??
