I have a combo box that takes its record source is a Query, this all works fine and when i click on the Combo box, I see 4 columns of data but when i select the record, only the first column displays, is there a way that I can display all 4 columns in the selected combo box, or will I have to have 1 combo box and 3 text boxes to display the data, is so how would I do that.
View RepliesI have an unbound combo box with three columns, which get the values from a query. The first column is hidden. When I close the combo box after my selection, only the second column value is shown on the box. Is there any way that both the second and third column being shown on the box after selection?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form that calculates freight costs. I'm using a combo box for the user to select the route of the shipment from shipping port to destination port. The combo box has 2 fields. The index which is stored in the database and the description which is displayed to the user. I used the wizard to create the combo box and set the index to be saved in a table. Everything works fine, the freight cost is calculated correctly and the data is stored as designed.
The problem is when if the user goes back later and opens the screen to view the freight information, the combo box doesn't display what was selected previously. Therefore, no freight is calculated and the user has to reselect the combo box again. When I check the table, the index value of what was selected is in the table, but it will not display in the combo box.
. . . . Additional info to this post. . . . The combo box is set to use a data from a standard table. The user can only select what is displayed in the list. However, the index is then stored in another table after the selection is made. I want the combo box to do something like, if a selection was previously made then displayed what was select, if not, then display the data from the standard table.
What did I do wrong during the set up? Thanks for your help solving this problem.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an access database to make an inventory of my model trains.
I have a main entry form (frmTrain) where I enter all sorts of info regarding e.g. a locomotive. This info is then stored in a table (tblTrain).
In the main entry form, I've put a combo box (cmbCountries) linked to a query (qryCountries) which queries the country codes from a table (tblCountries) that has three fields:
ID (autonumber)
CountryCode (short text) (containing the country codes UK, FR, DE, ...)
FlagFile (short text) (containing the name of the flag picture, e.g. UK.png)
The flags are stored as *.png files in a folder Flags that is in the same folder as the database file. I have chosen this approach instead of putting the flag pictures in an OLE field in tblCountries because I'd like to avoid being stuck to *.bmp files (don't support transparency). I'd also like to avoid having to mention the complete file path in the field FlagFile
I created a form (frmCountries) to easily add countries to tblCountries as needed.
Now back to the main entry form. The selection made in cmbCountries is stored in the field 'Countries' in tblTrain. When a country is selected in cmbCountries, I'd like that the corresponding flag is displayed next to the combo box.
I found an example on the web where an image field was used to display the flag, let's say with the following code:
Private Sub cmbCountries_Change()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
and where the combo box had as row source (not using qryCountries):
SELECT tblCountries.ID, tblCountries.CountryCode, [Application].[CurrentProject].[path] & "Flags" & [FlagFile] AS Expr1 FROM tblCountries ORDER BY tblCountries.[Code];
The problem with this example is that, if you select in frmTrain e.g. UK, the UK flag is then displayed across all records in frmTrain. So the image field is not the appropriate field to display the flag in frmTrain and I guess an unbound/bound (?) object frame should rather be used.
How to display correctly the flag picture for every individual record in frmTrain corresponding to the country chosen in cmbCountries.

I'm working on a wine database (for ages now...). I'm currently struggling getting the following to work. I have a form in which one can select the name and vintage of a wine using a combo box, after which also a picture will be shown of that wine. I have the pictures as attachments in a table. One can then press a button to close this form and go to another form in which one can edit all the details of the selected wine. Problem: I can't get the picture to show.
I have a reasonably simple form with a combo box, a text box, a button and an attachment field in which a picture should show.
I made a query to select the id, name and vintage from the wine table. I couldn't select the attachment field for the pic in the wizard, so I added that myself in the Design View. The Query for the combo box now reads:
Code:
SELECT Wijn.Id, Wijn.Naam, Wijn.Vintage, Wijn.Plaatje FROM Wijn ORDER BY Wijn.[Naam], Wijn.[Vintage];
(translation: Naam = name | Plaatje = picture)
It neatly shows name and vintage in the drop down list. Once selected it only shows the name of the wine in the combo box and I use VBA to fill the Text Box with the vintage of the selected wine. The VBA I use is:
Code:
Private Sub cmbNaamWijn_Change()
Me.txtVintage.Value = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(2)
End Sub
All works fine. Also when I pres the button, the wine I selected opens up and can be editted and the select form nicely closes. The only problem is the fact that I cannot get the picture to show!
I inserted an attachment field with the name: attImage. In the VBA code I added the line:
Code:
Me.attImage.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
Doesn't work. With debugging I do see it gets the correct value form the table. I get an error message stating "Method or data member not found", so Picture is not available for the attachment object I guess. If I look at what is available, I can't select anything useful. So my next try was adding an image control with the name: ImageWine and the VBA code in the On Change property
Code:
Me.ImageWine.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
results in the following: Run-time error '2220'. Microsoft Access can't open the file '[FilenamePicture]'. Logical in a way I guess, since there's no path in there. I also tried the Bound Object Frame, but that resulted in the same problem as the attachment try described above.

I'm building a test registration form, and I want to populate 2 additional fields based on the TestID ComboBox selection. This same TestID table has a Requirement and Expected result field, that I want to display for the end user, to make sense of the test in question. Multiple fields in the ComboBox does not work since you cannot select a single testID; you can click on the relevant testID, but the table remains in view, rather than displaying only the relevant testID.

Hi everyone,
I have two combo boxes on the same form bound to a table. I want the contents of the next combo box to change based on the previous combo selection e.g
cboContinent cboCountry
Africa Zambia
Africa Congo
Africa South africa
Europe England
Europe Holland
If I choose Africa in cboContinent, I want to see only Zambia, South Africa and Congo under cboCountry and if I choose Europe I want to see only England and Holland
Thanks

I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do:
1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag")
2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool")
3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237"
If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.

Acc 2003.
I have a main menu with 2 subforms.
In the on load event it sets the source object of the first subform, which displays a list of options (menu Style).
When choosing an option from SubForm1, I want SubForm2 to display the form I have coded in.
I currently have within subform 1 in the on click event the following.
Form_MainMenu.subform1.sourceobject = "formtodisplayinsubform2"
When running this from the main menu, nothing at all happens.
When opening just the subform 1 on it's own and clicking the option, it merely opens the main menu form.
Can anyone see what I am missing?
Thanks in advance
I have been working on this problem for 3 days, and can't figure out what to do. I'm using Access 2010.
I have two tables. Tier1 and Tier2.
Table: Tier1 has Tier1ID (autonumber) and Tier1Desc
Table: Tier2 has
-Tier2id (autonumber)
-Tier1ID (which is the link back to the Tier1 table),
-Tier2Num -- this number shows which tier2 records are associated with each other
- and about 6 fields with descriptive info, 2 of which are memo fields
I have a form that has 2 listboxes:
- Listbox 1 has the row source to Tier1 table, control source Tier1ID
- Listbox 2 is an unbound listbox with the row source to a query.
The query is all the fields from Tier2 with the criteria where Tier1ID in Tier2 table = Tier1ID in Tier1 table
This all works. When I select something from the Tier1 ListBox, it displays the associated tier2 items for the tier1 selection.
What I need : When the selection is made in the 2nd listbox, I need the other 6 fields in tier2 table to be displayed based on the "Tier2Num". The listbox does return Tier2Num correctly.
I just need to display all the rest of the fields.
- I tried a popup form based on a query, but can't seem to pass the tier2Num to a form. (The query works if you enter the Tier2Num, which is the
[listitem] selection)
- I tried dlookup in a textbox
- I tried to add all the fields into the listbox, but could only get 3 to display (then I was going to do textboxes with the control(#) in it.
I have a two tables in my database related to employee ratings
Employee
TokenID
Division
Band
PMRating
TokenID
H1
Now this statement
Code:SELECT DISTINCT Employee.Band FROM Employee
This would display me all the band levels within Employee table in each row..
Is there any way I could built a query to the Band names as seperate columns?
i'm doing this so as to display the average H1 rating for each Band level ..that is grouped by Employee.Division..
Hello there,
perhaps it could be a fault in my PC;
though I designed a form which depends on a selection-query and when I fill in the criteria in the selction query to look for a certain record, my form display stays empty. Even empty records won't be shown.
Is this phenomenon occuring either normal in Access or is this problem related to the configurations of whether my query or relations.
It's already pissing me off the whole day,
so I would be very eager to know what's the solution,
grtz
I'm trying to get one combo box control what tables are available from another combo box. Example, combo box (a) includes numbers 1-5. Selecting (1) makes the data in combo box (b) specific to that selection. Selecting (2) makes the data in combo box (b) something different (pulls data from a different table).
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

2-Table 2: Location 1, Location 2.
3-Table 3: System 1, System 2, System 3.
4-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-1
5-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-2
[Code] ....
Last table will be LogBook which will be as follow:
date l time l area l location l system l item l Conition1 l Conition2 l Conition3
My question regarding to the form of the above table:
How can I make a combo box for area field and when I select for example area1 will appear only the locations which under area1 in location field, and when I select location1 for example will appear only the systems under location1 in system field, and when I select system1 one for example will appear only items under system 1.Combo box list will be based on the selection in previous combo box and so on.

I have a table with 4 columns :
Product Price Quantity Supplier
Product1 5 240 A
Product1 7 19 B
Product1 6 12 C
Product2 96 0 A
Product2 98 23 B
Product2 99 44 C
There are 3 suppliers for the products (name of the suppliers are A, B and C).I want to make a query with the following result :
Product1 5 240 A
Product2 98 23 B
In other words :Showing a grouped list (grouped by products), with the lowest price of the supplier who has stock (quantity >0).I can make a list of grouped products with the lowest price, but it's not possible for me to show the stock and the supplier that's related with it.
