I searched these forums but I did not see anything that was helpful in the matter, so if there is a thread like this please direct me to it and disregard this.
I have a combo box that houses the names of dealerships, this is bound to a table.
A user does have the ability to add a new dealership at all times to the combobox by simply typing it in.
The problem, the only way the new dealership appears in the list is if you close the form and reopen (which makes sense)
What I need to do is dynamically update this list so that anytime there is a new dealership it will automatically show up in the drop-down list.
Would a union query be the best way to go about this?
One is called brand and the other sub brand, and when i select a particular brand only the relevant sub brands are displayed. The problem i have is that when i reselect a different brand the sub brand combo box does not update.
I have created this setup by making the sub brand combo box a query.
The Query is:
SELECT SubBrand FROM SubBrand.SubBrand WHERE SubBrand.Brand=[Combo3]
Okay, this might be difficult to understand or tough for me to explain properly. Basically it's like this. I choose a cltContactID (a foreign key tied to a main Client's Contact's table). Then, in the next field, I'm choosing a source (for example: General Hospital) that referred the client to my company - call this refSource.
Then, in some cases, or most, I need to identify the person within that refSource that actually did the referring (eg, a Social Worker named Gene). Now I deal with 20+ Hospitals, 30+ Community Centres, 20+ Medical Centres, etc. etc., basically tonne of different sources.
So I would like the combo box, where I choose the person within a refSource that has referred a client, to only list people (or other staff personnel) that are affiliated with that source which I would have identifed one field earlier, rather than having a combo box that could potentially list hundreds and hundreds of names.
It's more complicated than just adding simple criteria in a query and making the combo-box look up that. The criteria must be dynamic; specific to each record.
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change() Me.Requery Me.cboCourseName.Requery Me.Check178.Requery End Sub
I have a combo box that i would like to dynamically change the recordsource (what values are available in the dropdown) based off of the criteria in another field. Basically, I want to switch which query the combo points to.
I am looking to do something like...
If field1 = nulll combo recordsource = query1 (a list of values from table1) Else combo recordsource = quer2 (a list of values from table2)
I am looking to switch which query the combo is populated with, not limit the rows based on field1.
Say for example, in two fields within my dropdown for Camera Status in the Maintenance table...
FIT FOR PURPOSE - Availability Checkbox = Yes
What expression do I need in expression builder, so that Selecting UNDER REPAIR or FAULTY/DAMAGED instead makes the checkbox availability turn to unchecked automatically within a form, without the need to manually change the checkbox?
I stumbled on to a Dynamic Multi Search form on this site and have been tailoring it to my organization's directory of contacts. Everything was going good until I was asked to include a search by groups to which each individual may belong. The data in the table is contained in Yes/No check boxes for around 30 different groups. I am hoping to add a combo box to the Dynamic Search as a means to pull up individuals in any 1 category. Below are two attempts at what I thought might work, however, neither performs any filtering.
Code: Private Sub Groupbox_Change() Dim db As Database Dim qdf As QueryDef Dim strSQL As String Set db = CurrentDb Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryGroup")
Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!
I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D
Hi everyone, I have been making progress with customizing a MS Access program, but one major problem is that I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of values from only the parameter that is primary key. More specifically, the program is set up as follows: I have two tables in this program: One that is called "invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of these tables, there is one common parameter, which is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key, and I used the "relationships" function to tie this parameter to itself between the two tables. I was successful in setting up a list-box for the "Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box for another parameter that is supposed to display a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials. In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to take so that the database stores a list of people's initials. Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key. How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of different people's initials, or in other words how can I get all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the Design mode of Tables, including Display Control, Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column, but the outcome is that the only parameter that I get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which is Item Number. I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how to correct this. On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a specific date range so that I can limit each report to a specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well. Thanks.
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
I have a form that shows a list of all of my records in my database. I want to be able to click a button called "Report" and have that print a report that has all the records I have filtered on my form. I have a report in the format that i want it in, however, currently it prints every record and not just what is shown on my form. (The form is dynamic and I want the Report to be dynamically based on the form) HELP PLEASE!
I have created a query to simply bring up various parameters asking questions which then give back the results that are correct! i am wondering if it is possible so that when the parameter boxes display on the screen, for you to be able to select the answer from a combo box list (within the parameter box) instead of typing them in???
hi I have a cascading combo box on a form where by you can first select a supplier of a part and then a part from that supplier. (Attached is a pic of my structure). Next I want to be able to create a record of a "complaint report" for that part in the combo box... (see structure). Any ideas? Many thanks, Rob
I have read the cascading combo box solution and would like to know if this would help me with my specific solution.
I have a subform that is used to populate a table which is later used to cost each row by linking to a costing table (see later).
3 off the columns in this form have been set up as combo boxes e.g.
(1)Supplier/(2)Product type/(3)Product 2 is dependant on 1 and 3 is dependant on 1 & 2
These combo boxes currently refer to my costing table to ensure that the user can only enter a combination that is in this table so that when I compare the data entered in my subform table these combinations will be present in the costing table.
I get the 2nd combo box to show only the product types available for the selected supplier by afterupdate me![Product type]requery on the 1st combo box
The 3rd combo box is dependant on both 1 & 2 so I have applied afterupdate me![product]requery which has filters in the query as follows Forms![subform]![Supplier] Forms![subform]![Product type]
This seems to work ok when entering data initially into the form which places it directly into my table
The problem I have is when someone later goes into a record and changes combo box 1 and the data in combo 2 & 3 may now not be an option so how can I force them to go and re-visit these filed before exiting the form?
The second problem is if they go to the next record in the form and select the 3rd combo box to edit the field the qry does not show the correct option and shows the ones for the previous row?
I have a Order form that i would like to use combo boxes when adding details records to the order. For example, my list of products is very long, each product belongs to a Series(category) I would like to create two combo boxes when placing an order. First one to select series, then another one to select product. I would like the product combo box to show only those products related to the series. Seems like a simple task but i am having so much trouble. I tried looking at the Northwind db because it has categories and products but in their order form their combo box just list products and there is no example like the one i want to do. Can anyone help?
I have attached a small version of my database/form. I am trying to display only those records in a subform based on the values selected from two combo boxes. So when the user selects a client from the 1st combo box, the 2nd combo box is populated with the tests that pertain to the client selected. When the user selects a test from the 2nd combo box, I want the records to update with only those records that have the test for that client. So if there is no record for that test, then no records should be displayed (even though they may have records for another test - not sure if that made sense...).
My whole purpose is to allow the user to select a test only once and only have to select the level list based on however many levels are available for that test (I want it to be simple for the user).
Example: Open up my form, select Alabama from the clients list. The subform has all of the tests for the client and the levels. Select Physics from the tests list. I now want the subform to display only the records were Test=Physics. Once I get that working, I will make ClientID and Test in the subform not visible (only the Level drop down list will be displayed). So when a user selects a level from the list, the table needs to get updated with all of the information (clientID, testID, levelID).
Have any suggestions? Any help will be much appreciated.
I'm sure this question must have been asked before but I can't find it here, so my apologies.
I have a form for collecting addresses, it has two combo boxes, the first contains a list of states, and then the second contains a list of postcodes found within that state based up a query with the criteria
[forms]![FRM_Delpoint]![StateID]
the problem is the second combo box always shows the list relevant to the first record.
