Criteria For Drop-downs
Mar 31, 2006
In my query I want to find the total number of "occasional" bookings.
There are two types: occasional and regular.
However, when I select the tblBooking and the field it finds the total number of all the bookings, which is 10 (5 reg. and 5 occ.). However, I only want to find the occasional (5) and not regular. The field is a drop-down (lookup wizard) so when I type "occasional" into the criteria it says a data mismatch. I've used the 'Count' function, but it still says data mismatch. So basically, I want to count the number of occasional bookings but it's from a drop-down field. It will find the total number (10) of both types of booking, but I only want to find the occasional. How do I do this?
Also, how would I calculate the percentage? I want to find the percentages of both the occasional (50%) and regular (50%) bookings. I don't mean to waffle on. Thank you for your time. :)

I am building a customer order database for a client and have this problem: I would like to be able to display a form that shows all a customer's order information ( pretty standard stuff, first name, last name, address, phone, etc.) but then would also like to display what they ordered as a drop down. Many of the customers are repeat customers, and so they will have multiple order records in the datatbase, but I would like to somehow display them in the customer profile form all in one form.
Any help on how to go about this appreicated.
thanks in advance

I'm in Access 2013 and I built a form with multiple drop downs. Here is what I have in the same order of which the user must choose from......
Document "Field Observation", "Monthly Inspection", "Safety Roster" (The user must first choose the document from this drop down he is recording)
Supervisor "First & Last Name" (The user then chooses the first & last name of the specific Supervisor name he is recording the document for from this drop down)
Manager - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
AOR - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Org Unit - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Month "January", "February", etc. (The user then chooses the Month of which the document will need to be applied to)
I would like the form to trigger an error with "This document is already recorded for this month" when the user chooses "Monthly Inspection" OR "Safety Roster" for a specific "Supervisor" for a specific "Month" that is already recorded in "TBL_DataTracker". The TBL_DataTracker is where all of my records are stored.

Is there anyway that access could create a drop down box within a drop down box? For instance, when a selection is made in a drop down box, it opens another drop down box with choices.And is it possible to link an inserted image from a form to open in MSPaint that when it opens, the image is already there?

I have a drop box that has four selections from a table (NORTH, EAST,SOUTH or WEST) I also have a another table that has two fields which is a NAME of a person and either NORTH, EAST,SOUTH,WEST depending on the persons name. What I need to happen (within a form) is that when I select NORTH from a drop down box, I can then select names in another drop down box that correspond to NORTH only. Then only names from the South list if I select SOUTH etc

Ok, This is something I have long wanted to do, but cannot figure out.
I am working on a database for a company that orders a large number of Items. I have these all in one table (itemCode, itemDescription, price, categoryCode, etc). I have another table with categorys (categoryCode, categoryDescription) . Each Item is asigned a categoryCode and the appropiate relationship exsists. Right now I have a comboBox in a form that when selected opens a drops down menu with all the Items. Then another one auto loads up (continuous form) and I get the same drop down list of all the Items.
What I would like to have is a combo box then when it is selected shows the categorys, then based on that selection, I see all the Items that are in that category.
I guess another way of saying this simply is, I would like to create a drop down menu inside of a dropdown menu.
Is this possible? Does anyone have another alternative suggestion that might work well? I'm relectant to use a list box, becoase ideally it would be a drop down menu inside of a drop down menu as seen on many websites.
Thanks in Advance!

I have set up a database that stores actions (i.e jobs). In the table; two of the fields are...'required completion date' and 'actual completion date'. I wish to lookup, by using a query, all of the open actions (those which havent yet been complete (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null)) and then later on all those which are overdue (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null And the 'required completion date' <today....this being the criteria for an overdue action).
However, I have used a form which has a combo box which contains the values open and overdue. When a selection has been made I want a form to display with the results depending on the selection that has been made. I am capable of creating a form based on a query, but am unsure of how to construct the query with the correct criteria based on the option that is selected from the form.
Any help would gratefully be appreciated. Thanks

I created a form that allows the user to choose the criteria that they want to see on a report using =Forms!formname!controlname in my query. It works great but I want to also allow the user to choose nothing and return all records instead of limiting them to choose just one type of record. Is this possible? Before I created the form my query had the [Enter parameter] on one criteria line and [Enter parameter] Is Null on the next criteria line and that was working great for my use but I need to create a simple form for other users.

Hi Guys,
I have a combo box on one of my forms that on clicking the arrow the user has the option to either input yes/no. However i have just noticed that the user doesn't have to input yes or no and can actually put whatever they want in it (which sort of defeats the object of the combo box!!)
Any ideas guys/gals??
regards,
Lee

My database is set up with a sub form showing:
Mfg, Model, Serial#, and Type. When I drop down and choose the Mfg, I then go to the next drop down (Model)and the only choices I have are those associated with the Mfg I just selected from the previous drop down. On my Enter Repair Data form, I want to be able to drop down a box for Part Number and then have a drop down field for the Part Description to match the part number that i just selected. Then I would like to have the next drop down to show a unit price for the Part Number and Description fields that I just entered. Is it possible to accomplish this with an existing Data Base? My data base is 1.61M so it's too large to upload here, but if someone can help me my ICQ # is 65-489-369, e-mail is huntiir@bellsouth.net. I can upload a copy of my database if needed.
I also need to have a field added to another report in my data base sowing the total labor for units shipped on a particular date to a particular customer. The report already totals parts used in the repair of the units for that date. I just can't seem to get the total labor to show up.
I was also trying to set up an inventory Report on parts used for my repairs where it will calculate the number of parts in stock in the form of:
RR#, Part#, Description, Unit Cost, and Total Units in Stock. You can see that I am somewhat complicated and ignorant to the use of Access.
Can you help me out please?

Currently the database has a parameter query in which the query is entered via a pop up box, it would be preferred if the query could be selected from a list of criteria in a combo box and run via a command button.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hello Everyone. I'm not all that new to access however my problem does exceed my experience and I'm hopeing someone out there maybe able to help me.
A while back I began to build a database to keep track of post production activites such as what items were being produced on a perticular production line. Its my job to book all these items in according to date, line, item, order and qty.
This was all good and simple until it was decided that I had to assign a category to each item. Their are multiple models to one perticular category and to make things even more difficult the same item could be produced on more than one production line.
I work within a Pool company where their are 7 production lines, each with their own purpose and facilites of making certain products until you come to other products that could be produced on any of 3 or more lines.
So, I made a table 'Category' which lists the different types/acronyms for products and the lines in which it could be produced on.
I than created a new column within my Post Production table called 'category' and chose to use a drop box so I may select which category to assign the item. The drop box shows both columns 'Catefory','Line'.
The problem I have is that theres 40+ rows within the Category drop box and because the same name of the category may appear more than once simply beginning to type in the category name isn't good enough.
Is there a way to filter out which categories is listed within the drop box according to which line it maybe coming off once I've already selected which line within the same row?
I've tried selecting a relationship and createing a query both failed.

I have an Access 2002 database with a relationship between 2 tables I want to delete using VB code. I setup the relationship from within Access. Is there a way to find out the name of the relationship, if there is such a thing. The tables are: TableA.Id linking to TableB.BankAcctId with both cascade functions. What would the VB code look like? Something like ALTER TableB DROP CONSTRAINT ...
Thanks

I am creating a table in Access 2003, and I need to add a drop down list to one of my columns. See the attached picture - I need to add a drop down list to the "Division" column that will allow the user to select from one of 5 choices. How do I do this?
I'm an Access beginner, BTW. :)

Hi there.
I work for an Internet Marketing company and my boss wants me to design a huge huge form in Access - requiring alot of Drop Down Menus. Alot of them are simply Yes/No questions, some, however, are not.
This is what I have done so far:
I have a field called Sector which I have selected as a Yes/No Field.
In the Form Design View I have selected:
Row Source Type = Field List
Row Source = Sector (this is a separate table in which I have put all the options)
In Format, instead of Yes/No, I have changed it to "-" - this is simply because when I view it Normal View the first thing in the Drop Down Menu is a Yes or a No.
This all seems to work fine until I try to select one of the options and I get this error:
"The Value you entered isn't valid for this field - For example, you may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize settings permit"
I have gone back and forth into the Design View on the Form and the Table trying different things, but nothing I do seems to work.
I don't even know if I have gone about doing this Drop Down menu in the correct way to begin with.
I'm not an Access Expert so please if anyone has any ideas please let me know. It'll be much appreciated :)
Thankyou.

When I get focus of a combo box I do an automatic dropdown but when I select an item from the list the dropdown doesn't close so it covers my other fields until I click randomly anywhere on the form. How can I get the dropdown to close as soon as I make my selection from the list?
Thanks

Apologies if this has been answered before.
I am an inexperienced Access Database writer who wants to learn more - so first question, are there any Access Gurus' near to Buckingham/Milton Keynes UK that would be willing to spend a couple of hours showing me advanced access programming with a specific databsae in mind (i have a more complicated one than the one attached to attempt) (paid of course).
Secondly, I have a form which I would like to finish this week and am struggling with. The main form is frm_PatientDetails. I am trying to add a subform frm_Practitioner which shows a drop down box of the practitioners names, but allows you to choose more than one. This is a many to many relationship as a patient can have more than one practitioner and a practitioner has more than one patient. I have had a go at creating a junction table, and a query, but got a feeling i'm doing it all wrong.
I've attached the database, so any other feedback on what i've done right and wrong would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.
