I am trying to get a dlookup in a textbox on a form to work and cant figure it out. It uses a selection from a combo box on the same form.
combo box name: service_type, source = tbl_Support_Service_Types
field one is a number, name = account_number, is the primary, is hidden, is the bound column
field two is the text description the user will choose, name = service_type
note: tbl_Support_Service_Types has a third column not used in the combo box called monthly_payment
In the control source of the text box I have tried several variations of the following dlookup:
=DLookUp("[monthly_payment]","[tbl_Support_Service_Types]","[service_type]= '"&forms!frm_Accounts!service_type"'")
I know the following part works:
=DLookUp("[monthly_payment]","[tbl_Support_Service_Types]","[service_type]=
It is crashing in the criteria part
I have also added the third field to the combo box and tried the following (which I prefer)
me!account_type.column(3)
i have an access table.i m using Dlookup function for select data in dlookup , i want to sel field as combo box value, and i want when i change combobox value by select from list ,dlookup result will be change .
Iv got a Form (Form1).That has a combo Box (Description)and a Text box (Category).that refers to a Table (tblDescriptionLU)With a text Field (Description) and a Lookup Field (Category) to a Table (tblListOfCategorys)
The Code iv Put in is:
Private Sub Description_AfterUpdate() Category = DLookup("Category", "tblDescriptionLU", "Description=" & Description) End Sub
It returns a Error:
Run-time error '3464': Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
Here goes my problem, and how I am attempting to solve it, but I am open to advice.
I have a table that contains all of the bird species in the US; (fields: common name, scientific name, species ID) I want to be able to update another table, (birds to chase) with particular bird species that I have not yet seen, (fields: species ID, common name, scientific name) and link that to a sub form that links to another table (chase birds locations) which shows geographic location data as to where I might be able to see new/unseen birds; (fields: species ID, date, other geographic data).
My problem is this. I created a form for the unseen birds table that allows me to only select a bird using a combo box of birds from the larger table of US birds. I want to select a bird using the common name in this box, and have it automatically populate the scientific name and the species ID into the birds to chase table. I link this tables to the location table using species ID.
A workaround that I have used is to close the form, run two update queries that populate the proper fields for scientific name and species ID and to re-open the forms. Although this works, when I return to the form it does not return me to the proper record, so that I can enter data into the sub-form.
Obviously this is a workaround and will work for me in the short run, but I want to learn how to do it properly within Access 2003.
I'm not a programmer and hence do not have access to the .NET tools or Visual Basic. Any hints for me out there?
I have a form where I am using two combo boxes the second combo box fields are being based on what is selected from the first comb box. When I enter the DLookup criteria into the text box I am trying to lookup based on the selection of the combo boxes it returns nothing. Here is what my DLookup looks like: DLookup("[BranchNumber]", "[tblAllADPCoCodes]", "[ADPCompany]= '" & [cboADPCompany] & "' And [LocationNumber]= '" & [cboLocationNo] & "'")
I'm a novice when it comes to Access 2010, and I'm having trouble with DLookup syntax, and am going nuts. I have tblLookup, tblFees and Costs, and frmFees and Costs. All data entry is done in frmFees and Costs.
The tblLookup lists plaintiffs and the matter related to them. In the form, I made a combo box [Combo13] for plaintiffs and a text box for Matter [Matter], but whenever I enter the plaintiff, I get an error.
The error is: Run-time error '3075': Syntax error (comma) in query expression '[PlaintiffName]=The Plaintiff I Typed in'
The code I'm trying to use:
Private Sub Combo13_AfterUpdate() Me.Matter = DLookup ("[Matter]", "tblLookup", "[PlaintiffName] =" & Me.Combo13) End Sub
[PlaintiffName] is the column name in the tblLookup.
I looked around the forums but couldn't find anything that matched my setup.
My intentions are to get my combo box to display data into a field in my form, when it is changed/selection is made. So far my form has the following:
Combobox: CBOCharacters Field: CharacterGender
Both of these are in the same table; tbl_Characters. The data type for CBOCharacters is a number and its called CharacterID in the table.
So far I have created this piece of code:
Private Sub CBOCharacters_AfterUpdate() Me.CharacterGender = DLookup("CharacterGender", "qry_StillNeeded", "[CharacterID]= " & Me.CBOCharacters) End Sub
When I run this event procedure i get an error:
Runtime error '2471'
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error '[CharacterID]'
Can anyone see where I've gone wrong. The purpose should be if the value in the query is 0 or less (a minus amount) and the order number and part number matches the order number and part number on the form then a warning should appear. It's not picking up the record for flagging when it should:
If (DLookup("OutstandingQty", "qryremaininginvoiceamount", "OutstandingQty <= 0" & " And [OrdNo] = " _ & Me.[OrdNo] & " And [InvPtID] = " & Me.InvPtID)) Then
I have a table which has a list of trades (Builder, Carpenter, Painter etc) going down the side and going across the top I have the number of employees (1Emp, 2Emp, 3Emp). The values in the table show the charge for that number of employees for that trade.
I have a form which has three combobox's that show the Number of Manual Employees, Number of Clerical Employees and the number of working directors and a combo box that shows the trade. What I want to happen is when the user clicks a command button on the form the charge for the total number of employees for that trade is shown in a txt box.
I have the following code attached to my button:
Private Sub GetValue_Click () Dim TotalEmployees As Integer
Value = Dlookup(TotalEmployees & "Emp", "ValueTable", "[Business] = Forms![Form1]![Business]")
End Sub. When I type "[3Emp]" in the Dlookup it will work fine and finds the charge for that trade. But when I pass it the Result from the addition and concatenate it with "Emp" it doesn't seem to work.
I originally thought it was because I declared the TotalEmployees as an Integer by I also tried declaring it as a string - to no avail. I just can not figure out why it will not look up the TotalEmployees.
I would much appreciate any help on this on any suggest as to how I can get the values from my table.
Please help prevent my laptop from being smashed against a wall numerous times and then being thrown out the window, after all, the wall is mostly innocent in this situation.
I have read post upon post and other dim references to DLookup in the Access Help file, etc. I am generally a bright guy (although inexperienced in DataBases, VBA and some forms of lovemaking) but I have not been able to figure out the DLookup function. Could you please give me a VERY simple explination of how to use this function and it's expressions?
If it will help, we can use the following senario...
Table_Special_Needs Special_Need_ID Special_Need (Data Includes: Initiatives, High Ropes, etc.) Standard_Price
I would like to know if i am doing an Inventory in an Invoice Program and i want the [quantity] from a subform on the Orders Form to be deleted automatically from a Products Table , Would the Dlookup Function Help and if yes how would i implement it ?
Firstly, thank you all for allowing me into your group!
Secondly however, PLEASE HELP!
I've created a database for storing students details and exam records for my university department, and everthing is fine except for one final problem: In order to allow final grades to be calculated all student marks have to be stored numerically, but each number corresponds to a code: eg N=0, G2=1, G1=2 .... A1=22
I'm trying to get the student marks report to display not just the numeric code, but also the final code eg, C2. To do so I've been trying to use DLookup as follows:
where "Grade Code" is a field in the Lookup Table (ie, it lists the A1, A2), "Lookup Table" is a table listing all the numbers and their corresponding codes, "Score" is the numeric score in the "Lookup Table" table, and "Total Grade" is a calculated (Numeric) field in the open report (though created in an accompanying query). I just can't get it to work however!! When I run the report, the column is just blank, and nothing I do seems to be able to get the corresponding code (Eg, B1, B2) to appear on the report!
Please help me if you can, I'm not kidding when I say my job is on the line with getting this database to work! Once I've got this sorted, all I need to do is find a way of letting the secretaries input the alphanumeric code, but the database automatically stores that as a number. I figured however, that sorting the first problem will go some way to finding out how to sort the 2nd one!
Dear all, How are you? I need your help. Can you help me in this DLOOKUP function. I want to retreive "covered period" from financial statement table where investment id = the value of investment ID from Financial statement form. This is the syntax: x: DLookUp("[PeriodCovered]","Financial Statements","[InvestmentID] = " & Forms!Investments!InvestmentID)
I am trying to use a dlookup to return the price of an item that meets two criteria. This is what I came up with, but it doesn't work. The part after the AND works by itself, but when I combine the two I either get a #Error or no values that meet the criteria.
Any suggestions? I can provide more info if needed.
Expr3: DLookUp("[Crt plan price]/1000","CPC List","[Plant] = ' " IIf(IsNumeric(Right([Date Code],2)),"Unk",Right([Date Code],2)) ' " And [Material] = " & [Item])
I am trying to set a criteria in a DLookup and I don’t know if it’s possible. I’ve managed to get a result using the following code in a form but it only matches an exact date.
What I really need is to be able to do a between criteria on the [Date] field and check out whether that fits between [ContractStartDate] and [ContractEndDate] and then return the Price according to the [Date].
I actually want to run it as a query but have no idea how to do this. So, can a "between criteria" be put into a DLookup? and can it all be put into a select query? If so how? If not, what better way it acheive the desired outcome?:confused:
I've got a dlookup problem, i'm working on an adp recreating from an mdb. I've got a main form called contract_sessons and then a sub form called session_contracts and a sub form in that called consessions. In the consessions this holds ths dates for each session what i'm trying to do is lookup the period for the date in the table called dates. The current code I'm using in an unbound field is =DLookUp("[Period]","[dates]","[date]=Forms![Contract_Sessions].Form![Session_Contracts].Form![conSessions].Form![Date]") but all that appears is #error.
I know there are lots of questions relating to this function but I ahve searched and cannot find an answer. Can I add a Dlookup to a field that calculates a sum of the fields based on todays date? I am not very good a coding so any help welcome. I guess I am asking if Dlookup can be combined with Sum and Date()

I'm not familiar with using dlookup and I'm having some problems.
I have a form with a project number. the project number relates back to a table that has organizations and project number -the table name is Project I need the organization name to appear on the form. The where clause of the Dlookup is where I'm stumpped
I've been reading and reading all previous posts and have yet to find anything related to what I need help with.
I've done this before through help from my dad, so I know it's possible. What I basically would like to do is show a list all records that start with a letter picked from a combo box. I.e. combo box letter selected is g, a list box on the form will show all records on my 1 table that start with the letter g.
there's a way to use dlookup (i believe), to show this by taking the first letter from all the fields and comparing them to the letter listed in the combo box. but I'm completely lost in how to do it.
basically this is in the afterupdate of the partNo text box and when i enter a part no it brings up the description of the first record only no matter what part no i enter.Can anyone see a problem with the code.
I am working on a volunteer tracking system for a haunted house I work at.
I have a table of Shifts, with fields ShiftID, Shift Name, Date, and Hours. On my sign in form, I have a subform that records who works, what spot they are in, and I want to have the number of hours that is linked to that date transfer to a textbox on this subform.
