Is it possible to create on my form a drop down combo box for just viewing purposes of table values? i want to manually enter my value but sometimes i like to look at my Standard ranges as a double check. I do NOT want the combo box values to come into the field.
is there a way to do this?
thanks
I have an issue with a couple of my combo boxes. When in form mode the drop down menu displays a list of options (taken from my source table), this is fine, but the problem is that it allows the user to select more than one of the options in the form of checkboxes. This is not what I intended.
I've attached to pictures to demonstrate the problem. The first is ComboBoxQuery (the one with the problem) and the second is ComboBoxQueryWorkign (the one without a problem).
I'm not sure why this is happening and I've tried comparing all the properties of both these combo boxes and changing some of them to see if I can eliminate the problem without any joy.
I use a very standard SELECT statement to pull the data for the combo box:
SELECT CountryID, CountryName FROM tblCountryInfo ORDER By CountryName
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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate()
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable"
Else

But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
How would I modify multiple comboboxes in subforms at the same time. For example.. In main form ComboboxA user selects 1992, Combobox1 in subform1 is also changed to 1992, as well as Combobox2 in subform 2.
Whats the best way to do this?
Hi, can anyone please help me.
I've just set up a form with 2 pages which I can add data into, but for some reason, I can't view all records.
I've tried using the switchboard to add buttons to both add records and view (but they both only add), and i've also set up my own button with the instruction to view all records, but it just won't work.
On the first page the data source is tbl_CompanyInfo, and on the second page, the data source is a subform with the data source tbl_Contacts. The subform will link contacts to the company info via the CompanyID field. I hope that makes sense.
Can anyone please tell me how I can view all of the data via the form.
Thanks very much
I'm wondering how can I view only those query data with value in certain fields.
For example in a record of students with check marks, view only those students with check marks and leaving those having no check mark out.
I know it has something to do with the criteria but not sure what. I've already search the MS Access Help as well as this forum and have not found anything.
Thanks in advance.
I am working creating a data entry form. I am using the data entry option in the form properties to do this. However, when I do this, my subforms do not display any information.
Ideally, I would like them to display information when the field linked to the subform is entered on the main form. Is there an option for this ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have 2 comboboxes, the first one is called "activity", whereby I have 3 options to choose from, and the second is called "level".
When I click an "activity", for example Drawings, I want the "level" combobox to list a unique set of options for that category. and if I click on a different "activity" for example Planning, I want the "level" combobox to show a completely different set of options.
If anyone can give me any help on how to do this then I would be very grateful!!
Thanks

I've used Access 2003 to create a database which contains a table linked directly to the "Orders" table on my mysql server. This table holds all of the customer orders placed on our website. I next created a form in access to give me a nice justified view of the orders.
My Problem? The field on the mysql server that holds the line item details for each order is a "Memo" field, and all of the text is formatted in html it appears. When viewed on the form, I see the all of the raw code, and not the nicely formatted text. If i highlight a section of the code from the form, and paste it in a Html editor (Frontpage for example), I see the line items nicely formatted as intended.
Is there a way to get this memo field to display the formatted html text instead?
My access skills are pretty limited, so detailed steps would be appreciated.
Hi All,
users can opening a file (either .doc, exe or .pdf) with additional data to the record they're looking at by clicking on a icon on a form. The icon has code behind it that opens the document (Application.FollowHyperlink NameDocTo Open). That opens the doc OK, no problem, but what is a problem is that the window for this document is exactly the same size as the window of the access form from which the second doc is opened.
The size of the access window is defined. I'd like to get the word or excel or pdf to be maximized. The weird thing is that I use the same code in another database and there the 'secondary doc' opens in a new window and of large enough size. How can the same code generate 2 outcomes? And how can I fix the issue described?
Thanks guys.
I was wondering if there is some setting that can be set such that certain records within a table are not visible when the table is opened, or a form is accessing its records.
It seems from time to time, some records seem to 'disappear' from view?!?
Other than a filter...
Does anyone know how this is possible, and what can be set or specified in order for this to be happening?
Thank you for any enlightenment...
Greetings to All,
I have one table (tblLink) that resides on an SQL Server quite a distance from me. I have another table (tblLink_r) that resides in a local .mdb file. The tables are identical except for the data they contain and where they are located. Only one index (LinkIdx=autonumber) exists. I am making sure there are no duplicate indicies in the LinkIdx fields because I started the LinkIdx field in tblLink_r at 2100000000.
When I open tblLink (remote), I can scroll to the end of the 21,000 records relatively quickly - read: little latency. Queries performed on this table similarly show little latency.
When I open tblLink_r, I also have little latency. This table has 100 records.
I need a single object which contains the contents of tblLink and tblLink_r. I have tried a UNION ALL, but this query takes upwards of 4 minutes to complete which I can't understand since either of the constituent tables only take ~.5 seconds to call up.
I am hoping someone can provide a way to speed up the UNION ALL query or provide an alternate means to combine the contents of these tables.
I have a form with a subform on with the visible value set to false. After a value has been selected from a combo box i then want this subform to show. Tried calling the form using me!formname.visible = true in the afterupdate but it says it cant find the form.
Any Ideas how
I've been reading everywhere on this site trying to find out how
to do this, but just can't seem to grasp it. I see people saying it can
be done, but can't find more specific details on how to go about it. I
just want to view a pdf file from within the access environment. I need
to be able to view contracts from my app, and joy oh joy they are all
in PDF form.
Any help is greatly appreciated to get me started on this. I've
tried using the Active X Adobe Acrobate Control but to no avail.
Good Morning all,
On a Form I have a series of Listboxes, each drills down to a final piece of information. The Listboxes store a number_id which displays along with other information In this case the number_id is associated to a TEXT description. When I send the Listbox info to the Report it displays the info but the text doesn't wrap and it gets cut off. There is no "can grow" option on a list box.
So I need to create a Text Box in the Report but when I refrence the listbox in the control source only the number_id shows up. I need to see the associated text (field).
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Phil "bones"
Before I spend an age trying to get this to work I thought I'd consult some experts.
I have a main data table for recording all possible insurance claims against a company. What I want to do is create say 2 incidents but link them in some way. i.e. One of our drivers had a car accident (1 claim against our motor policy), but then the driver of the other car sues us(1 claim against our public liability).
I can create 2 seperate records and maybe have a field to highlight parent/child reference numbers, but is there anyway I could allow the user to click a button and see the related records simultaneously?
Cheers
I have a lookup colum in my datasheet. Is there any way that i can change the properties so that I can view both the first name and the last name in the same box once it is chosen. Currently in design view I have a column for first name and a column for the last name. When I choose a name from the lookup column, all it shows is the last name... i would like for it to show both the lastname, firstname.
please advise... thanks
HeyI made a form which displays formulas such as [unitprice]*[quantity]. These forumulas are working perfectly when I display the form in 'form view'. However, when I open the form in 'datasheet view' it displays '#error' in the same field. I think the problem has something to do with me attaching a subform to the form. As when ever I click on the '+' to display the subform in datasheet mode, the '#error' becomes into a correct value.Why is this so?I would appreciate the help.Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that will not preview as full screen unless I hit the button in the right corner. Is there a way to default it to large every time?
Along the same line, I have a form that opens with the menu just fine but when I return to it after running the report, it comes back full screen instead of the size it should.
I am sure these are easier ones for some of you but I can't seem to solve it.

I have a database containing 3 tables (for now):
Customers
Orders
Catagories
Now i also have a form with customer information.
In that form is a listbox with a query statement, so that should display wich orders are placed by that customer.
SELECT Orders.[Order-ID], Orders.Description, Orders.Date, Orders.Category FROM Orders WHERE Customer=[Customer-ID];
Now this works for the first costumer record being displayed.
However when i view the next costumer, the listbox still displays the order information from the first customer.
How can i get the listbox to update itself when a diffirent record is viewed?
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I have done a multi user database for a private company (and thanks to all those that helped me out) but now I need to do another database to put onto the Internet so the general public can view it and order the products. Obviously some of the database needs to be private (so I can update records) but some needs to be viewed over the Internet. I would like the general public to be able to view the products over a web page, not download a program to view the database.
I have made the database already so I can pull up a web page (from within access) and order the products - all I need to know is how to do this over the Internet?
I don't expect anyone to hold my hand through this, I just ask if anyone has a link to a walkthrough so I can do this?
Regards, James
PS Have another question -
I have 17, 500 records and I wish to add a new Field, how can I change the values of the Field without going thorugh them one by one? e.g If the Record has 'Rarity = U' then I want the 'price' (which is the new field) to equal 1.
