I have a button when you click it, it runs a append query to change all true check boxes back to false
my problem is after it runs the append query the user see a long error message, then to see the check boxes change .....you have to go back and click the button again.....not very pretty
here is what I have
I am using a yes/no field to select a number of records for a report. Is it possible to deselect and turn them all back to no at one time when finished with the report. It would be nice if I did not need to deselect all of them individually.
I have a form that opens by showing an option group:
Search by: 1-Team 2-Rep
Based on the option chosen (1 or 2) another set of boxes and options appear that let you select the team or rep and the report you want:
If 1:
Combo: Team A/Team B/Team C Option Group: 1-Report A, 2-Report B, 3-Report C
If 2:
Combo: JohnDoeRep/JaneDoeRep/SchmoeDoeRep Option Group: 1-Report D, 2-Report E, 3-Report F
I have specified the logic for which report to run in the OnClick event of the Run Report button based on the conditions above.
My problem occurs when a user for example chooses Option 1 and runs a report, then comes back to the form and wants to run a report under Option 2. When this happens, the report selection for Option 1 stays selected, and as a result, both reports are run when the Run Report button is clicked.
How do I get the Form to deselect any options in the old selection if a user switches from Option 1 to 2 or vice versa?
ive ste up a form with list boxes being used as filters but once ive made a selection i can deselect it to clear the filter. any ideas where the stetings are to control this?
I made sure I did a search for this topic before I posted, so please don't flame me.
I'm trying to do something that in theory does not seem hard to do, but for some reason I can't translate it into code. With using a ListBox, I understand how to do a simple "when a value is selected, the remaining values are deselected" code. What I am trying to do is:
When the form is opened, the default selection of the listbox (lbOfficeLocation) is "***All Offices***".
If the user selects any other value (multiple values can be selected), the value "***All Offices***" is deselected.
If the user selects the value "***All Offices***", all other values are deselected.
For some reason or another, I can get (1) & (2) to work, but I cannot get (3) to work. After I make my initial selection that forces the deselection of value "***All Offices***" and highlights any other individual or multiple values, I try to re-select "***All Offices***" and it won't highlight, and will not deselect any of the other selected values.
I have tried multiple ways to code this, from using a For loop, If statement, and even a Select statement (Case 1, Case 2, ...), even using both Click() and AfterUpdate() as the event procedures, and nothing. I don't know how to use a IIF() statement very well, but do I need to use one of those? The code for what I have so far is below:
The name of the Listbox is "lbOfficeLocation".
Private Sub lbOfficeLocation_Click()
Dim holder As Integer
For holder = 0 To lbOfficeLocation.ListCount - 1 If lbOfficeLocation.Selected(holder) = True Then Me.lbOfficeLocation.Selected(0) = False End If Next holder
End Sub
This code is for the deselection of value "***All Offices***" if any other value is selected. Please help me find the code to help with scenerio (3) as listed above, while still maintaining (2).
Thank you in advance, and feel free to ask for any additional info.
Hi, is there any (reasonably simple) way to select or deselect multiple items from the List Box with individual clicks without using Ctrl key. Eg first click on an item would select it leaving all other items as they are, subsequent click on the already selected item would deselect it etc. I hope this is not too confusing and I would appreciate some help. Thanks!
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change() Me.Requery Me.cboCourseName.Requery Me.Check178.Requery End Sub
I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
Hi, I added some new controls into existing form. I made sure I added those new control names to Table source as well. For some reason, I dont get the values either in the form or in table. Please help. Thanks. By the way, how can I attach an attachment in this forum. This if first time for me in this forum.
Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!
I have a form with a check box among other itmes. What I want to happen is, when the user checks the check box, I want the text box to the right of it to be made visible and to let the user write text. But I only want this text box to be visible when the check box is checked. The check box is if the user wish to put a comment in the form, he will click the check box and then I want my text box to appear so that he may write the comment in the text box. Please help with this. Thanks
I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D
Hi everyone, I have been making progress with customizing a MS Access program, but one major problem is that I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of values from only the parameter that is primary key. More specifically, the program is set up as follows: I have two tables in this program: One that is called "invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of these tables, there is one common parameter, which is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key, and I used the "relationships" function to tie this parameter to itself between the two tables. I was successful in setting up a list-box for the "Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box for another parameter that is supposed to display a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials. In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to take so that the database stores a list of people's initials. Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key. How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of different people's initials, or in other words how can I get all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the Design mode of Tables, including Display Control, Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column, but the outcome is that the only parameter that I get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which is Item Number. I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how to correct this. On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a specific date range so that I can limit each report to a specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well. Thanks.
Hi In my tables I have set a field to Yes/No and the format to be True/False. When I activate the table it shows the field as a checkbox, however when I create a List Box on a form to that table it displays the fields as True/False, how can I get the list box to also display the field as a checkbox.
In Tools, Options Edit/Find I wish to uncheck the Confirm record changes, Confirm document deletions, and confirm action queries as these are automatically checked by default. I did this when writing the database, but when users open it, these boxes are checked by default. Is there any way to uncheck these by code on opening the database?
I seem to remember - way back in my access class that I have not used regularly, therefore have forgotten much - that there is a way to put a description of the query or form or table that pops up in a kind of box when the cursor is placed over the name. I hope that makes sense - if not, read on.
I have a lot of queries and would want anyone using them to know what they will do before they click on one - because it might mess things up.
I posted on this forum a few months ago chasing a solution and still haven't found something. Is ther any way in vb that you can prompt the user to input a number? I was posted the code below to try and help. In the example below, i would like to be able to have the end user input the first and last numbers (11000 and 11100, in the example) in a pop up box, as these vary, not have them defined in the code, is this possible? In the database, the first and last numbers in a string are all that is needed and the db fills in the gaps, so to speak
Const MyTable As String = "YourTableName" Const MyField As String = "YourFieldName" Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim intCounter As Integer Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(MyTable) For intCounter = 11000 To 11100 rs.AddNew rs.Fields(MyField) = "TP" & intCounter rs.Update Next intCounter rs.Close db.Close Set rs = Nothing Set db = Nothing
Thanks for any help you can give. I hope it is pretty straight forward, as my vba skills are fairly limited.
