I have a form ive created as part of my database used for data input.
Someone opens the form , enters their project number, and then enters what country it is in, what region it is in, and what sub region it is in. They are all dropdown menus with the information coming from a table via a lookup wizard.
What i want is when someone choses england in the country field, i want the region field to only displays the regions in england, and then in the sub region field i want only the sub regions that are in the regions displayed in the drop down list.
Is there a way in which i can link three drop down boxes together?
I'll create an example of what I mean...
I'll attach a Excel file which contains two identical filters, one of them where the filter is turned on.
If I select the "Serviced" filter, I am left with three options for "Make" and two options for "color". If I select the "color" as "White" I am left with just one "Make" - "MG".
I understand that some sort of "hierarchy" needs to be in place so I will Make it so that "Serviced" Must be entered first, then "Color" then "Make" so that if you select a different "Service", the "Color" and "Make" will repopulate with the appropriate values.
This is certainly possible with a REDICULOUS amount of coding that would map each value to its corresponding values however is this possible some other (easier) way?
I have a drop down box which shows Quote: Code | Surname | Forename | Faculty | Team However I can only get 1 drop down box to enter its data into one cell. What I want is for 1 drop down box where there are currently 4 which will fill in all the details.
I am just starting out with a database and last night got more success than I imagined in that I have the basic database, a usable form and a report set up and displaying mostly as I want.What I would like to do is to be able to look on a form and select certain criteria and only see records that fall into them.The database is for magazines so for example I would like to be able to select "Prima" magazines and only see those, then maybe select 2005 and only see the Prima magazines i have from 2005,
I have a number of drop down menus to select Building Name, Building Number and then Equipment Name and Equipment Number. I want the list to be linked so that when you select the building name the building number is picked up. Also I want the Equipment List's with to change so that once the building has been selected only the equipment available in that building is available to be selected. Is there a way I can do this?
I am trying to build a database in which there is a main table and in this main table there are products and there are types of products eg.
Ringtones - is the Product and Type - True Tone(mp3), category - R&B another eg is Graphic is the product and Wallpaper is the type of graphic Category - friends .
I would like to combine this so when you are in the MAIN products table with "Code" ,"Product" ,"Type" , "Category", "Title", "Artist" and "Price" that the drop down boxes say for instance when you click on "product" and you chose ringtone then in the "type" column there are only the options from the Ringtone type and not also for graphic etc.. is this hectic to do? Hope I have explained it ok...? Thanks ! Really hope some one can help me with this ? Melissa Cape Town SA
Hello to all 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
I have created a database that has both English and French forms feeding information into the same table. I'm not concerned if the info stored in the table is stored in French or in English. It all works fine other then the drop down boxes in the forms, here I only seem to be able to either have the English or the French options visible on both the English and the French form. Is there a way to have the English options on the English form and the French options on the French form, both feeding the results into the same field in the table.
I've made a query and designed a report for it. Simply it includes:
Area code, customer name, other customer details.
I want other people, when they click on the report to be given a drop down box which allows them to choose a specific area code before it generate the report. So, for example, they just want to look at Yorkshire region records, they choose Yorkshire from the drop down box and it'll generate the Yorkshire report. I've searched around but can't find what these are called.
I am designing a search query that will allow the user to look up a record in a database to view it. I have everything already set up, and most of it working properly.
The user can recall a database entry using 7 different criteria--Type, Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Warehouse, Bin, and Shelf. The Type and Warehouse entries on the database are drop-down values, the other 5 values are text entries.
So far, I have been able to get the look up query to pull up the desired records on the Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Bin, and Shelf criteria using
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search Form]![Customer] & "*" .
However, with Type and Warehouse criterion, the two that use drop-down boxes in the database, I have been unsuccessful in being able to call up any records using either the above partial or the more exact:
Code: =[Forms]![Search Form]![Type]
I did try to change Type to a textbox on the look up query, but that was similarly unsuccessful. On a side note, I must use drop-downs on the Warehouse field since I have another query that concatenates that value with a couple others.
How can I, without delving into VB coding unless absolutely necessary, format the lookup query so that it will read the values of the drop downs?
I want to be able to attach a date field to a dropdown check box. For example, say I have a client who we submit multiple deliverables to on different dates. I want to be able to check the deliverables submittted and add the date for that deliverable (each deliverable has a different date). image which is how the drop down is currently set up.
I have a query which works perfectly fine, it's the report that I'm having issues with displaying correctly.
My report is a daily personnel accountability report that shows where everyone is for the day. Instead of having a cumbersome query like I did before, I have opted to just use the results of the selected drop-down option to move the X to the appropriate box of where so-and-so is for the day.
Using
Code: If [marked_as] = 1 Then Me.Morning.Value = "X" ElseIf [marked_as] = 2 Then Me.Afternoon.Value = "X" ElseIf [marked_as] = 3 Then Me.Evenings.Value = "X" End If
I was unable to get it to work accurately outside of showing the three dummy names under the same column, even though the three dummy names were each placed in one of the three test categories.
I have this set as a private function called when the report loads, which is based on a query that filters down to the exact department or office (depending on the user's selection). Like I said, that part works fine, it's getting the code to accurately display in the correct column.
I am trying to setup a database in order to demonstrate a tie in between active directory and the HR side of a business.As such, I would like to select two fields from drop down menus that reference in Department and Location tables, but use this data to actually Populate the Personnel Records table rather than Query.I know this is not normally best practice from a DBA perspective.
I have this setup already in Filemaker, just through using relationships.However, I want to move to Access, as it is more industry standard and much lighter weight, so am trying to find the best way.I have attached two pics of my filemaker database, and a zipped copy of my Access file.
I have drop down list linked to table included "agent names" , the names appeared normally in the form but not Alphabetic (A-Z) although the table was alphabetic .
Why is it that everytime I print a report containing Drop-down Boxes, the selected value for that particular record is blacked out?
This is a screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://ww w.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1177902_txqed/AccessReport-Error.JPG All the blacked-out bits are supposed to be the selected values for each record.
I use Microsoft Access 2002. How can I fix this so that the actual value is legible?
To recreate the problem: 1) My table contains a field (called "Colour") that can only be satisfied by certain values ("Black"; "White"; "Coloured") as defined by a drop-down list. 2) I enter a record about a white scarf. Therefore under "Colour", I select "White" from the drop-down list. 3) I make a report from my table. 4) I print the report. 5) However, when I look at the record of the white scarf, all I see under "Colour" is a box containing the values "Black" and "Coloured", and in between them, the selected value "White" should be, is a black line.
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)
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 am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in (Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber Estimate_ID : Number Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table Part_ID : Autonumber PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them) PartName : Text Unit Price : Currency Description : Text
Estimates - Table Estimate_ID : Autonumber InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it) EstimateDate : Date/Time EstimateTime : Date/Time Employee_ID : Number Customer_ID : Number ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table Customer_ID : Autonumber FirstName : Text LastName : Text CompanyName : Text Address : Text City : Text Province_State : Text Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName LastName CompanyName Address City Province_State Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box Control Source - Part_ID Row Source Type - Table/Query Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here
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?
I 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 building a customer order database for a client and have this problem: I would like to be able to display a form that shows all a customer's order information ( pretty standard stuff, first name, last name, address, phone, etc.) but then would also like to display what they ordered as a drop down. Many of the customers are repeat customers, and so they will have multiple order records in the datatbase, but I would like to somehow display them in the customer profile form all in one form.
I'm pretty much a noob to visual basic, I've only taken C++ so I dont really know VB language. ok here is my question... I have a form and I added a drop down list through a table. What I want it to do is output into another text box within the same form when an item in the drop down list is selected. I think I have to make an event procedure for the "On Click" or "On Got Focus" selection. please help me out !!
I am new at access..I am using Access 2003 I have a table with fields for Project #, client, description, etc..
