Drop Down Look Up List - Fill In Information

Dec 4, 2006

I would like to have a lookup list (drop down), if an item is not in the list I would like to be able to enter it at that time - how would I go about setting this up. I am new to Access and not sure where to start.

Table City:
CityID Autonumber
City Text
Zip Text

Also, I would like to be able to type a letter - say W and it would go to cities that start with W (Wauwatosa), rather than having to scroll through the list.

Tables :: Auto Fill Fields With Drop Down List

Nov 9, 2012

I have a Table named TBLBookings...on one of the fields I have a Lookup wizard thats linked to a Table named TBLVehicles which includes

Car Reg
Car Type
Location

When I run the TBLBooking and click the drop down list it shows up

Car Reg
Car Type
Location

but once the field is clicked all it shows in the records is the REG where in a form id like to see what vehicle it is location etc...is it possible to have extra fields in the form named Car Type and Location and once the registration is chosen it automatically fills in the correct details for them?

Fill Multiple Fields With Same Information

Jul 22, 2013

The database needs to have columns for 17 individual connectors. These fields are populated from another table containing all of the possible connectors that could be used and a description of them. I need to set up a query that contains the 17 connector fields as well a field with the description of each connector. Is it possible to have this query auto populate the description fields from the table that contains the connectors. I have attached a picture below.... Each pin has a label that has to be manually filled and a pin name that has to be chosen from another table. I want to have the pin description fields auto populate to match the selected pin names.

How Do I Fill A Drop Down Menu With Values Held In A Column In An Access Databse

Apr 18, 2005

Hi I have an access database called contact.mdb and I have linked to it just fine and used the records held in it to populate a datagrid and can update and delete records.

I don't understand databases that much but I would like to read the values into a drop down menu which are held in the field 'ID' from a table called 'courses'. I have a feeling it is something to do with data sets but am not too hot on these either. Any pointers or code would be gratefully received.

Thanx loads Lervy :d

Field To Automatically Fill With Correct Value Based On Information In Multiple Fields

Apr 16, 2012

I have a database in which we are trying to have a field "Headcount" automatically fill with the correct value based on information in multiple fields. The "Headcount" field will be based on about 6 or 7 rules. Most of the rules i can figure out, but im having trouble figuring out what the best way would be to search for a single individual's projects when they are on more than one project at a time. I thought about using a counter of sorts to count how many projects someone was one, but how do I pick them out of the entire table once i have found out the number of projects? Would a for loop work best or just many if statements?

Drop Down List Value Help

Mar 18, 2008

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

Drop Down List

Feb 12, 2007

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...

Drop Down List In A Query

May 25, 2006

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.

How To Add A Drop Down List To A Query

Dec 7, 2006

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

Drop Down List Of Years

Oct 11, 2005

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

Customer Drop Down List

Mar 21, 2006

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.

Drop Down List Not Getting Records

Feb 4, 2014

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.

Drop Down List In A Query Form...

May 31, 2006

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?

Produce A Report - Using A Drop Down List

Nov 17, 2004

My aim is to produce a report - using a drop down list (of customers from customer table) so that users can look at customer history.



I have created a form with a drop down list of customers - from customers table. I have used this to filter the results for a query on the orders table (gives me a history of that customer). All this works perfectly. I get all the transactions for that customer.



My question - is there a way I can create the same result but in a report format instead of the datasheet format. I.e the user will be given the data in report format when they select the customer from the drop down list.
