Drop Down Box In Alphabetical Order
Oct 23, 2006I have created a form with a drop down box so that I can click on a client in the drop down box and it will pull the information from that clients record.. my question is :
Is there a way of having the clients names in the drop down box listed in alphabetical order without it changing the order in my table? My table is listed in order of project numbers not client names.

Alphabetical Order Query
Jun 15, 2007The main form of our contacts database has its source in a query which places all contacts in alphabetical order by surname. How do I get the query to sort by surname and then by first name? Also, how can I get the query to run each time a new contact is added so they are put into alphabetical order when they are saved, rather than appearing at the end of the list?

Forms :: Non Alphabetical Order Of X-Axis Label On A Chart
Jan 4, 2015I have inserted a bar chart onto a form using a totals query. The query is grouped by days on stock, eg. '0-30', '30-60', '60-90' etc. which is therefore the labels on the x-axis.
The chart displays the correct data, however, the chart automatically displays the categories on the x-axis in alphabetical order... '0-30', '120-180', '30-60' etc.. Is there anyway to adjust this order to be eg. '0-30', '30-60', '60-90' etc?
Forms :: Bound Form - Items Not Appearing In Alphabetical Order
Aug 2, 2013I have a report that generates 100 items in alphabetical order. All of the items are also displayed in a table. I have a bound form attached to the that table, and when the items appear they are not in alphabetical order. Therefore, it is a hassle typing in the data when the form will not appear in order, because instead of going in order I am flipping through pages. What is causing this to happen? And what can I do to fix this?

May 15, 2006Ok, This is something I have long wanted to do, but cannot figure out.
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!

Drop Down Menu Help
Feb 22, 2005Hi 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.

Drop Down Menu In Datasheet
Jun 16, 2006Hi guys
I am new to access and am finding it difficult to do some simple things.
I need to know how I can set the properties of some of the fields in a datasheet so when clicked on a drop down menu appears.
I have an add record form where on one field the user can select a number of options from a drop down menu and this is then added to the table, however on one of the following forms I have a datasheet in a subform that is set to allow edits. I want a drop down menu to appear when the user selects the field that also had a drop down menu on the add record form.
any ideas on how this can be done would be greatly appreciated lads?
cheers
Drop-down Menu Query?
Sep 20, 2005Hey guys,
Is it possible to create a drop-down menu Query, as opposed to the basic Parameter Query where the condition is typed in a dialog box? Just thinking it would be easier for the user in that it would eliminate mistakes due to spelling errors. Would it be possible?
Drop Down Menu's In Query's

I have a query that prompts the user for specific criteria. How do I make this query prompt a drop down menu rather than just free text, where the user is forced to know and enter exactly what their options are for the criteria.
any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Drop Down Menu Limit
Nov 8, 2004Please have a look at the screenshot file below before u start reading this.
what i want to do is limit the "Cost Type" drop down list.
The limit on drop down is initiated by Placement Type
So if you selected Placement Type = "Consultant", the "Cost Type" should be limited to the following
1) Consultant Wages X 14%
2) Consultant Wages X 4.5%
3) Consultant Wages
and therefore if you select "Other "on the Placement Type drop down, Cost Type dropdown should only show Sign on Bonus and other
i hope this makes sense.
thanks much in advance.
Drop Down Menu Query Problem
Sep 5, 2005Hi,
I have a drop down menu that is linked to a query
it goes
*table1* *Table 2(linked via area)*
Company no+Company name+Area+Zone+Roundtrip distance
Now the field that it stores is the company number (we deliver to the same company in differant area, so I cant use the company as the primary field sadly) and as such if you want to quickly enter the data to get the drop down menu to show the records to select, then you have to enter the company number.
I was wondering is there a way to start typing the company name, and have the drop down menu show all the entries of that company, but to have it still store the company number when I select a record from the menu?

Would I have to have two fields in my table - one for years and one for months or can I have one?
Whats the best way?
Thanks.

Aug 6, 2015In the Lesson 22 tutorial presented here: [URL] .....
They create form where the called Countries toward the end where:
The have a textbox for Government Type. It is a drop down menu of choices that the database creator can choose such a capitalist, socialist, and communist etc.
However, in the form (with the records source as Countries) there is only a space for input no drop down menu. I know this may seem awful elementary to the seasoned database designer, but how does one get it to be a drop down menu?
I have made the input in Countries table to be a look-up which I typed (see above choices) and the is the control source for the Countries Form government type. But there is still no drop down menu with choices on the Countries form. What must I do additionally?
If this is already talked about in one of the MS Access 2010 tutorials earlier lessons then a referral to that source is all that is needed.
