Hello ppl,
I have a database for selling items.
In my opinion there are actualy 3 solutions to fix this. As i will explain later on.
But first i will try to describe the database first.
there is a reciept part and a "offerte" (<--in dutch) part. I cant remember the word anymore.
Everything is working fine. But i have got just one problem. I have a continuous subform with records in it. When adding records they get added at the end of the record set. Ok fine.... thats still no problem.
But if some item is forgotten. They will need to add it. But it will be added at the end of the list. and for example it needs to be between record 2 and 3.
So this is the problem. Is it posible to have it moved. For example with 2 buttons "Move Up" "Move Down" or drag and drop. I actualy don't care how this will hapen. but the items need to have the posibility to be reordered.
I found a interesting example database. with a listbox with the records in it. and drag and drop possibilities. But i cant figure out how to update this recordset order to the continuous form (it is the same query they pik). Or maybe to send the recordset in the listbox directly to an report would do the job either.
I would appriciate some help here. I am looking for a solution for 2 weeks already. and you ppl are my last hope.
Bye
Lon3,
I've been developing several databases. Some elements that were experimental are now going "live". My development environment is Access 2010 on Windows 7 Pro. The "live" environment is also Access 2010 but running on Windows Vista SP2.
In development, I can drag tables, queries, etc. from one database to another by dropping them in the navigation column. When I try that on the "live" environment, it doesn't seem to work.
Is this a knownh difference between Windows 7 and Vista? Is this some sort of "trusted database" issue?
It is lots easier to drag and drop than using the Import External Data process so I'd like it to work.
We want a catalog - style report but the boss is going to want drag and drop. The tables are based on a link to an image.

The problem that I am facing is the following. I am trying to create a form that has the following:
1. A combo box in which you select from a list of users
2. A list box which is populated when I select a user showing me the courses that they have to take
3. Another list box that is populated when I select a course showing me the dates available for that course
4. Finally a third list box which is populated by what I drag or double click on the dates list box basically scheudling the user to his courses.
The first 3 parts of this done what is left to do now is the hard part which is to be able to drag and drop the dates in the other listbox which basically maps that user to that course date and populates the corresponding table. Any suggestions on how to do this would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance
Hi all,
Is there a way that I can move or copy emails directly from Outlook to a form by using drag & drop?
I know how to do for the files in explorer, but can't figure out how to do from outlook.
Thanks,
Jatz
the title explains this..
im not even sure if this is possible.. but if it is it will be just what i need.
basically the job1 form has a search feature added to it..
as users type the passenger name in the form.. a listbox below updates if a match is found..
if you can imagine the situation..
my user will be entering jobs into this form.. they will not know whether or not a passenger has used us before.. the only way they will know is if they see in the listbox the same name.. and pickup/destination/phone no. details as the job they are about to enter
i wondered if it was possible for the user to click on the customer in the listbox.. and drag and drop it into the passenger name textbox..
can this be done.. the attatchment is very simple.. one form.. job1.
if someone can explain to me how to do it.. or perhaps alter the db i have attached i will be most grateful
thanks

I am in the process of trying to create a DragNDrop feature in the Access database that I've built. I have 3 employee with several different txt boxes all side by side and I need to be able to drag and drop the job from one to another.
I need to create a class module to do this but my problem is I don't know how.
how to have users drag and drop a document into a text box within a form and have it create a hyperlink. What I need to know now, is if there is a way that when a file is dropped into the text box, it only shows the icon associated with that file, or at the very least, edit the hyperlink to only show a certain text. The files I need to see are all in a networked drive, so the hyperlink addresses can be quite long, and ultimately I'd just like the hyperlink to say "letter". Showing the icon would be a plus.

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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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

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!

A group of us are working on this database for a girl scout troop and we were asked to create drop-down boxes for the parent information and doing one for the bus information. We are a bit clueless right now so I was wondering if anyone could help us out. I have added database Its called project.mdb

I have a form with some drop down boxes
The form is based on a table
One field is lastname and one is firstname
The row source is based on table/query
The lastname field works fine but the firstname brings in the lastnames
What am I doing wrong
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??

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. :)
I am building a query for a university and the table i am working from has a column with every course run by the department.
How do i create a query that allows me to add a drop-down menu to the course instead of having to write out the course name everytime i want to query the number of pupils on a particular course.
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.
I have developed a small database (attached) but want to jump to the recorde selected. Anyone got any idea how I can achieve this - it seems to be 1/2 working, but I cannot figure out the rest.

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
