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?
Trying to use some code to 'Select All' from a 'Check Box Drop Down' Multi Value Field . The table field size is long integer.
When trying to "Select All" the code returns a RTE 3163 "This field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data".
Private Sub cmdSelectAll_Click() Dim SelVals, i ReDim SelVals(0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1) For i = 0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1 SelVals(i) = lkupAssignedTo.Column(1, i) Next i lkupAssignedTo.Value = SelVals End Sub
Not my code, but just something I have found and trying to adapt. Tried changing the field sizes but no luck. Maybe something to do with declaring variables perhaps??
I have a search form with blank fields tied to a table, four criteria search boxes, and a button to take the input from the search boxes, search the table, and populate the results on the form's blank fields. As of now, it works as long as all four criteria boxes aren't null.I used filters to achieve this, and here's the code that works as long as all four boxes are not empty. (My criteria boxes are as follows: a textbox called "Keyword" and three combo boxes called HRCombo, BuildingCombo, and RoomCombo, and the fields they're tied to are as follows: "Item Description" "HR Holder" "Building" "Room") My first line "Me.Filter = ..." was broken up to make it easier to view.
I need it to be able to do the search no matter which combination of criteria boxes have input. Someone recommended using if statements to do the following: Create four strings, one for each criteria box. Use 4 if statements to check if the box is null - if it is null, assign an asterisk to its string, and if its not null, assign the value I used for the above Me.Filter statement to each box's string. Then, use Me.Filter and concatenate the four strings at the end. Here's the code I used for this, and, with my limited knowledge, I can't get it to work.
Code:
Dim StrA as String, StrB as String, StrC as String, StrD as String If Me.Keyword is null then StrA = "*" else StrA = [Item Description] Like " & Chr(34) & Me.Keyword & "*" & Chr(34) End If
Hey all, new here, question for everyone. I have a fairly large database, I need to make a form that has 3 drop down boxes on it, one will be corresponding to a field in my table called Race, another with Affiliation and the last one with Gender, race will have 7 options, affiliation 20 options and gender 2 options. I need to be able to have a search/query setup so that a user chooses one option from each drop down and have it do a search in my table corresponding to what they choose. I really have no idea howto do this and hoping someone here could help. thanks
I have a field in which I wish to post several contacts. The contacts are listed in a table and populate the specific field via a drop down. In this specific field I want to select "mary" "bob" and "fred" (all three to display) however only one is displayed.....
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 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 am trying to perform some keyword searches of a text field. My preferred option would be to hold all the keywords in a separate table and then use something like
SELECT * FROM Text Table, Keywords Table WHERE (((InStr[Text Table].[Text],[Keywords Table].[keywords])) > 0 ));
This works and returns anything which has the string from the keyword table, however I wanted to look for whole words only. I can do this in SQL using a regular expression along the lines of [!a-z] keyword [!a-z] which only finds the string where it has no letters directly either side of it.
What I would like to do is combine the two methods so I hold my keywords in a table and then use them with the reg ex to find whole words only.
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 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 6 combo boxes on a form, which call a report based on a query. The idea is that the user can query data 6 different way. How do I/ or the user know which one is actually running first. Would the order left to right make a difference? (None have sort ascending or descending)
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 a simple question that I know will have a very complex answer
You have two sets of tables with identical structures. The first set contains data that is a model for the second set. The users run queries that append data to the second set of tables
Here is an example of the structure TblSourceOne SourceOneID SourceOneData
The user adds a record to the main table (TblTargetOne) then uses an append query to add all of the applicable records from TblSourceTwo to TbleTargetTwo
So now the user has a data model in TblSourceTwo which has been “copied” to TblTargetTwo
Next for each record in TblSourceTwo that has been copied to TblTargetTwo that has daughter records in TblSourceDetails another query is executed to copy all of the pertinate records to the TblTargetDetails
Now the user has completely copied all of the necessary record for both table.
Finely the question
How can I use a multiselect list box to achieve this in one operation? I don’t care if it includes running multiple queries but it needs to appear as one single operation to the user.
I'm a noobie with Access, and on my form which displays Account information, I also want to display the multiple Addresses this account can have. I can't find any type of scrollable text box (something to look like a spreadsheet), and I know it's not a list box I need to use.
How do I create this and what is it called? I tried using a data grid but I dont think that is it either :confused:
Also, my scrolling text icon on the toolbox is greyed out, not sure why.
I have three comboboxes and I want to have the first one filter the second one and the filtered second one filter the third one.
Filtering the first one on the second one works, but when I whant to add a third one to it, it just shows blank spaces on the third one.
What I did to the first and the second combobox :
1: I pressed the second combobox. 2: Went to rowsource. 3: filled criteria in on the value i whant to connect the first combox to the second combobox ( [Forms]![Thetableimin].[1stcombobox]. 4. requery the second combobox in programcode on the first combobox.
What I did to the second and the third combobox:
1: I pressed the third combobox. 2: Went to rowsource. 3: filled criteria in on the value i whant to connect the second combobox to the third combobox ( [Forms]![Thetableimin].[2ndcombobox] 4. requery the third combobox in programcode on the second combobox.
How do I make a third combobox that uses the filtered values of the second combobox to filter the third combobox.
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.
My form's 10 column combo-box (based on a query) won't break into text cells. Some of the columns contain numbers, some test, some phone #s. All columns show when I click the Combo-box in Form View. Access Help File said to put: =Forms!Customers!CompanyName.Column(1) in the ControlSource for the text cell. Tried that and was returned #Name? for any of the fields in which I tried it. My expression was: =frmSpartanStudentBehaviorLog!Last_FirstUC.Column (3) The other properties in combo-box are set correctly: ColumnCount=10, Column Widths are correct.
I also tried the expression: =Last_FirstUC.Column(2) but got the same result #Name?
I'm baffled. As a very new user, I'll appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
I am making a form at work for a coworker with cascading combo/list boxes where she can select a Customer, then Platform Description, then Period, then Year. I used VBA code for this and it's working perfectly - for single selection. I want to update this so she can select multiple Platform Descriptions and/or Periods and it will give all the applicable info.
I can use or a way to set up a query, etc. so that multi-select will work for me? Unfortunately, just changing the formatting to multiselect makes the listbox just blank white, so I'm assuming it's going to be more complicated.
(Here's the code I currently have for the cascading combo/list boxes, if you need it. SD0039DA_T is the table name where my listboxes are pulling info from.)
Code: Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_Load() On Error Resume Next CustomerCB.SetFocus PlatformDescriptionL.Enabled = False PeriodL.Enabled = False YearCB.Enabled = False End Sub
I am creating an absenteeism database which has the following tables:
tblEmp - PK - auto number, EmpId, First Name, Last name tblFunction - PK - FID (autonumber) has departments tblTL - PK TLID (autonumber) has list of team leaders tblRelated - pK - Id (auto), EmpId, TLID, FId as long integeres tblCodes - CodeId (auto), list of absenteeism codes like late, mia, etc EmpLeave - pk - autonumber, empid, codeid, hours, date of absenteeism
I have a Qry_Master which just joins all the information together as it gets updated on a monthly basis
Now, I am trying to create a form where the user has option to select one or more tls and one or more codes and when they hit the button, it should come up with all emps that have those codes and report to the team leader selected.
In my form, I have made both my list boxes as multiselect and i have Qry_frm that is a parameter query but when i run the button nothing happens and i cant seem to figure it out. I have attached the sample database to this thread.
