Doesn't Recognise Values As On The List In A Combobox
Jan 24, 2005
Hi,
I have a table of records, with one field of the records a combobox populated by a select query based onanother table.
My problem ism that it doesn't seem to recognise any of the values as on the list, though deleting one character and then replacing it results in the value being accepted with no problems.
This is a database I have inherited (Cheers predecessor!), the table is populated with a few thousand records and scrolling through this table results in an error message on this field for every record and is making displaying data on this form a nightmare! Anyone know of the cause or of a quick fix?
I don't know the history of this table unfortunately.
Cheers in advance
John

In a form used to record a sale for a company we have a dropdown box with the contact names for that company and when one is selected it populates other boxes like phone number etc however the combobox brings up all possible contacts but when some of them are selected all the boxes return blank, including the combobox, whereas most of the contacts work fine.
The SQL used for the combobox is as follows..
Code:
SELECT tbl_Contacts.ContactTelephone, tbl_Contacts.ContactMobile, tbl_Contacts.ContactEmail, tbl_Contacts.ID_Contact, tbl_Contacts.ID_Company, tbl_Contacts.Salutation & " " & tbl_Contacts.ContactForename & " " & tbl_Contacts.ContactSurname AS MainContact
FROM tbl_Contacts
WHERE (((tbl_Contacts.ID_Company)=[tbl_CompanyBookings].[ID_Company]))
ORDER BY tbl_Contacts.ContactForename;
Why some contacts work and some don't ??

I have a combo box which gets its values from sql server using a query which is called "get_query_reason", which works fine. Now I want to update combo box values based on a user selection, st string. Have written the code, but does not work:
Dim qDef As QueryDef
Dim Query As String
Dim st As String
Dim rs As Recordset
st = "SOV"
Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_query_reason")
[Code] ....

I have an Employee's Development Objective main form , which has a subform that contains a combobox that lists all 'Job Titles' and 'Job Objectives' within the company, say such as:
Code:
IT Manager, Create Spreadsheets
IT Manager, Manage Staff
SQL DBA, Create Databases
SQL DBA, Create Spreadsheets
Managing Director, Manage Finance
Managing Director, Manage Staff
How do I get the subform combo box to ONLY display the Job Titles and Job Objectives specific to the Employees known Job Title? The combobox Row Source is presently:
Code:
SELECT qryJobObjectiveDetails.jobObjID, qryJobObjectiveDetails.jobTitle, qryJobObjectiveDetails.objective
FROM qryJobObjectiveDetails
ORDER BY [jobTitle], [objective];
The main form has a jobID number specific to the Employees job title.

I have a data base with names, email IDs, phone numbers of 5 types(example quality, security, IT,finance etc) of person from ten different project teams. I created a basic form for the end user to enter values and created fields for each of the person's name, email ID etc based on the personal type( liek quality, IT, finance etc) on each team. The background table contains records of almost 200 people now.
All of these people will be trained for one task and some will be trained for multiple tasks. I know how to make the combo box allow multiple values/selections but, i cannot list out all 200 personal names in the combobox's rowsource/value list. Is it possible to combine all different name fields and list out all personal(of one team), so that the end user can just select multiple names for that team who have been trained and so on. i need to set the rowsource of the combobox to the values of all personal from one team so the team leader can just go select who has been trained and who has not.

So I have a combobox in a form that lists the values of a field in a table. The rowsource is this:
Code:
SELECT [Estes Training Modules].[Training Module], [Estes Training Modules].[Period] FROM [Estes Training Modules] ORDER BY [Period];
The problem is that ALL values on that field show up, including repeated values. I only need each different value to show up once. How can I do that?
For example, what I get in the combobox is: Annual, 2-Year, Annual, Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...
What I need is: Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...

I have used the code below to send an email automatically when a new record has been created. However I recently added the If Then statement to the code as you can see. The problem is that the email wont send because it says "There must be at least one name or distribution list in the To Cc or Bcc box". It is most likely saying this because it doesn't recognize "IT" in the txtDeparment combobox. How can I get it to recognize IT in the department combobox? The reason I am using an If Then is because I will make it send to different email addresses depending on what is in txtDepartment by using ElseIf
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With MailOutLook
.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
If Me.txtDepartment = "IT" Then
.To = "my email"
End If
.Subject = "hi"
.HTMLBody = "hi"
.send
End With

My table has a list of calculated values corresponding to a date.
I need my query to sort by date/time and accumulate the values.
Pls see the simplyfied attached db with the table and query.
I can't see what could possibly be wrong with it :confused:
It works fine when I accumulate non-calc'd values e.g. the record ID ..

Hello,
I'm merging de-duping contact data from 2 tables with the same fields. One table is the master (lets call it X) and the other is new data (lets call it Y).
However, it's not a simple as adding the new recordset to the old recordset: there are many dupes - sometimes X data needs to be replaced with Y data, sometimes the X data is more comprehensive than the Y data so the Y data is discarded, but often Y and X records for matching email addresses needs to be merged.
I currently have a union query joining the two tables (X and Y), upon which a make table query is based. A de-duplication query has been based on the resulting table of all records (X + Y), and exact duplicate/fragment 'Y' records in the table have been removed.
I have in my mind a diagram of a right-outer-join query (where the left table is X + Y and the right table is the original table X) - and I want the data that would be excluded from this operation. I have come across un-join queries in discussions relating to Oracle, can I use this operator in Access or is it incompatible with the Jet engine?
Would I just be able to use "IS NOT" somewhere in the right-outer-join query instead?
Please help! Thank you!

I'm running into an issue with my forms. I have a form that contains a subform, that contains a list of projects. This list is read-only. To update a record, you can double click on it, which opens another form filtered on this record, and which contains the fields in the first form as well as some others.
I have a command button on that last form to "Save and close", which fires up a macro that saves the record and closes the window.
Now, the issue that I'm having is that, when the window closes and I'm once again in front of the first form with the list of projects, the values of the record I changed are not updated and when I click on another record, Access tells me there's a conflict in the values and asks me if I want to keep the changes, discard them or copy to the clipboard.
It seems to consider the old values from the first form as a change, and thus asks me which to keep between these, and the actual (proper) changes I made in the dedicated form.
For the proper changes to be applied, I need to select "Drop changes".
I tried to requery the first form, also undo the changes to it after closing the window, but none of that worked.
I'm actually basing this on one of the templates, which does exactly what I want and which obviously works...

Is it possible to alter the values displayed in a combo-box dropdown at run time. I tried using the following bit of code in a listbox's 'After Update' event , but it does not alter the combo-box's value list.
dim strSponProjStatus as string
dim StrNonSponProjStatus as string
strSponProjStatus = "Seed ; Growth; Consolidation; Phase Out; Closed"
StrNonSponProjStatus = "Under Nego;Funded;Part Funded;Suspended;Unfunded"
Me.cboProjectStatus.RowSourceType = "valuelist"
If Me.cboFundingSource = "Sponsorship-ADP" Then
Me.cboProjectStatus.RowSource = strSponProjStatus
Else
Me.cboProjectStatus.RowSource = StrNonSponProjStatus
End If
Any suggestions as to why this is not working?
Cheers :eek:

(I'm upgrading an old database)
I have a combobox who lists te values of a table.
In that table are say: 5 records filled with a,b,c,d,e.
In my form i have a combobox who is default filled with a blank field, but i can select a,b,c,d or e.
If i select nothing in the combobox, the value has to be set at "0"
But i cannot add "0" as a value in de table of the dropdownlist.
if i can get the value default for "0" i'm happy, but if i can display the "0" as default in the combobox, i'm very happy.

Hi guys,
I've tried searching all the threads for an answer to my problem and I can't seem to find it....
Ok I know this should be simple...
I know to use Distinct and DistinctRow to only show unique records in a combobox but all I want to do is that once a selection is chosen in the combobox to add a record to a subform, it can't be selected again.
I know in some cases you do, e.g. items on an invoice sometimes need to be entered more than once, but I'm listing Skills for Employees and I only want a user to enter a Skill once per Employee (although Employees can have many Skills, I just don't want a User to accidentally put the same Skill in twice or more per Employee...)...
What's the best optimized way of achieving this?
Sorry for my newbiness.

So I have a textbox on a form that contain values. I want to convert it to a ComboBox. Since a lot of these values are the same in a lot of records (for example, "Inventor"), I want the entered values to appear in the ComboBox dropdown so they can just be selected instead of typed in. I converted the textbox to a Combobox by right-clicking on the textbox => Change To => ComboBox. It changed successfully, but I want it to list the values in the dropdown, but it doesn't.

I have a form and I need a combobox on the form to produce a list of Dates for every Saturday starting from the current day displayed in a short format for the user to select. Does anyone have an idea how I could manage that?
I was going to make a table and write in each one and use that for the rowsource, but someone said that there might be a way to do that dynamically.
