Drop Down List Scroll Bar Locks Up Window
Jan 19, 2014
We are developing an Access 2010 database that is to be served using MS Server. Currently we have Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 64bit with Server Manager Version: 6.1.7601.17514 SP1 on a cumputer with 8GB RAM and an Intel Celeron G550 2.6GHz processor. All software is up to date with MS updates.
We are having a problem with dropdown lists that have too many items to show in the drop-down window so there is a scroll bar. If I click on the down arrow and open the drop down list, and then click on the scroll bar, the access window locks up. If I only click on a choice in the drop-down, but not the scroll bar, it works fine and does not lock up. Once access is locked up, I can click on another window on the desktop and then Access becomes active again. This does not happen on windows 7.

I have a database that is used in a retail environment. I cant figure out what causes the locks of data.
I have an invoice (form) that it is filled out at point of sale(customer table). The middle section of the invoice (subform) gets the data from an inventory table.
The issue that i have is that often the subform locks up and does not allow the user to enter new data or make changes? It generally happens when they disconnect from the remote server, or loose connectivity???.
We use remote servers, using remote desktop connections.
The way i fix it is I take a backup database and move the tables out of the locked database into the new one. I just cant figure out what to do about this....>??
When you open an invoice at point of sale if the record is locked No line shows up on the subform to fill in. See image below.
When its fine the line will appear to take in entries.

I have a text box and a list box in a form.
When the user types in something in the text-box i want the closest matching record (based on the first column) of the list box to be scrolled to.
For eg.
Text in Text box is Kan
Then the list box should scroll to records starting with Kan.
I am currently achieveing this using Sendkeys as i have rarely used list boxes but would prefer a cleaner method if possible.

How do you add a horizontal scroll bar to a list box? I know that access will add a horizontal scroll bar when neccessary, but it will not add one to my list box. Is there a way to manually add one?

it is possible to be able to scroll through a List Box with just a mouse over? Or, do you need to set focus on the ListBox before being able to scroll?

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. :)

Hello all!
I have a drop down menu that pulls values from a table. When clicked that value pops up in a total field. Currently I only allow 1 value to be selected. When the user (me at this point) chooses another value, the value is added to the total instead of updating with the new value. So the every time it is clicked it just goes up and up. So I decided to add a loop. However it seems my look is not having an affect but obviously it is being read since the first part is being processed. I thought I would post it to gather thoughts... Thank you!
Quote: Private Sub lstbagels_Click() Dim newcharge1 As Currency Dim newcharge2 As Currency Dim oldcharge As Currency If oldcharge = 0 Then newcharge1 = Me.lstbagels.Column(2, Me.lstbagels.ListIndex) Me.txttotal.Value = Me.txttotal.Value + newcharge1 oldcharge = newcharge1 Else newcharge2 = Me.lstbagels.Column(2, Me.lstbagels.ListIndex) Me.txttotal.Value = Me.txttotal.Value - oldcharge + newcharge2 oldcharge = newcharge2 End If End Sub

I have one more question:
I have a ComboBox in a form that is looking at a field in a Table. When I select one of the items from the drop down it finds the record and shows all the fields in the form...
Everything works great, but
THere are quite a few records in the database, maybe 1000. If I use the scroll on the drop down and drag it to its bottom and let go, its not actually at the bottom. I have to do this repeatably in order to get to the full set of records.
Is there and easier way to do this?
I have run into this on other occasions with smaller number of records as well.
Would this run faster if I grabed this list from a query instead? And then set the form record to the value of the drop down (runngin the query)
Thanks in advance...

I have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD()
On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False
Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO
Exit Sub

I have a form with a subform that has started a strange behavior... Periodically (no apparent pattern) whenever I leave the form (go to next record, print report, send an email...) the field list (Add Existing Field) box pops up. I always thought that those boxes (property sheet included) displayed or were hidden based on the state the last time it was used in Design View. I have confirmed that all forms and subforms do not have the boxes in display state in Design View.
I can go into Design View, close the box and all is well for awhile. It seems to happen more frequently when I go to print a report based on the data on the current form. My question is - what causes the Field List or Property Sheet to toggle on/off and can I suppress it either on a form or in the VBA code?

Hello,
Ok, let me preface this with I'm a newbie at Access, and I'm currently using Access 2003. I'm just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Right now I have multiple tables with set data in them that doesn't change linked to another table where I have a drop down menu (combo box I think it's called in Access) to easily select the given data from. I want to have a drop down box (combo box) to have a set of given variables I have in a table to put in the search criteria. That way a user doesn't have to type the exact criteria into a query. That way I can easily put in the variables I want to search from in the query with less chance of an error. I'm hoping this is possible.
Ideally if I could get help in how to make a form that would allow me to have the set of columns from the corresponding tables with combo boxes to select from and then be able to have a "subimt" button and have it organize the selected results into that form as well.
Thank you for taking time to read this.

Hi all,
I'd like to modify a query of mine a little ...
Currenlty, when I click on my query and have it begin ... I have it set up where I then enter three seperate pieces of distinct data so that the exact information I'm in need of, which is stored in 2 seperate tables, can then be pulled together and displayed into one final combined table ...
I'd like to modify this beginning point where ... once I click on the query to begin, I can then just choose from a Drop Down list which has all the various rows of information displayed via these 3 unique indentifiers ... I then just scroll through and pick what I need and it then populates the final combined table as before ...
How do I add the drop down effect at the start of the query?
thanks,
TIM

Hi folks,
I want to populate a drop down combo box with a list of 10 years (current year +/- five years). I can enter them as a Value list but I don't want to have to update the list every year. Neither do I want to allocate a table to maintain a list.
Any ideas as to how I can auto populate the combo with a 10 yr span (5 previous and 5 next) and default to current year?
Thanks,
Dave

Hey guys, I have a question that I am hoping you can point me in the right direction on. Before I ask it, I am new to access. I have been looking at templates and reading and things on how to build a database. I have my tables setup, relationships I think are right and my form created. One of the things I am having trouble with is creating a drop down list to be able to pick a customer name for. I setup the combo box and have a customerID as the control source in the properties. I have the Row Source Type as table/query and the Row Source query setup so it takes the info from the customer table.
query:
field: customer.* name
table: customer customer
I think I am doing this the same way the templates have the properties but for some reason it won't allow me to pick from the list. It keeps saying "control can't be edited. It's bound to unknown field 'CustomerID'".
I attached my database. I hope it is clear enough that you might see what I have done wrong. Thanks in advance.

If i have a drop down list containing employee type names e.g. Plumber plasterer bricklayer from the employee type table. How would i select the bricklayer and bring back records associated with the selected employee type . I have done a query to go and get the records for the employee type and it works for one employee type.
But I cannot get the button to go and get the records when i select different employee types from the drop down list. I could add loads of buttons with the same query and change the employee type but looks a bit crowded and untidy. Am i missing something simple or is it just complicated.

I have a drop down list in a table with name and commission rate. When I choose the name it displays but I want both the name and the commission rate to display in my table. I want to use a data entry form to enter values in the table and I want the same in the form too (when I choose a name I want the corresponding commission rate to show up).

I'll admit from the start that I'm a newbie at Access 2003 and I've tried looking in the help file and internet searches. But I've become stumped on how to create what I'm looking for.
I would like to create a form that performs a query that has drop down menus with info from each specific column in a table. That way I don't have to necessarily need to know off the top of my head what data is entered in that column, but can click the drop down menu and get all of the data listed in that particular column. Once have a particular set of info selected, then have a button like "submit" and then the query results appear in a form and click through each page or results.
Is this possible?
