I have a bill of materials screen, where my operators will input parts that they require for a job
From this they have the ability to click on the part number they require to check if there is stock available in our stores
This will open the warehouse screen which is set as a continuous form.
The structure of the warehouse records is 1 line per batch. Each batch can contain multiple qtys.
I.e Part Number - JF5650 could show Qty: 50
When the operator goes into this screen i have given them the opportunity to reserve a some or all of the existing stock qty from a batch to a work order. They can do this by selecting the work order in a reserved combo box, and by typing a qty to reserve to the qty reserved text box.
Hopefully this is all making sense so far. Everything i have explained above works fine.
My problem is,
Many different work orders may require stock of the same part, my current setup does not allow the batch line to reserve against more than 1 work order.
Can anyone think of a way around this? At the moment i am playing on the idea of creating a seperate table for reservations linked by warehouse record which will allow the multiple lines but bringing that into a continuous form still has me thinking.
Adding multiple reservation and qty boxes is not an option. And i don't really want to change design to much as this db has 80 odd forms all doing there bit.
Thanks AOG (if i make any progress i'll keep this thread updated)
I am trying to add some more professional touches to a DB to get away from the whole '8-bit' feel that Access seems to have.
I would like to have a form that displays information and pops-up during a mouse over event. This is no problem.
What I am trying to achieve is an effect - that the form 'grows' making it appear to pop-up from nowhere, and then shrinks when the control loses the focus.
Just wandering if anyone has tried to achieve this and can offer any advice?
I'm making an accounts package, the user creates job reports every time they complete a job. The user then creates an invoice which contains the information from a job report.Any one invoice can contain information from multiple job reports.There is a field called J_InvoiceNumber in the job reports table and field called I_InvoiceNumber in the Invoices table. A particular job report is linked to a invoice by using the same number in J_InvoiceNumber as was in I_InvoiceNumber. let me give you an example:
JobReport1, JobReport2 and Jobreport3 all have "1" in their J_InvoiceNumber Field Jobreport4 has "2" in it's J_InvoiceNumber field.
so now Invoice1 which has "1" in it's I_InvoiceNumber field has 3 job reports and Invoice2 which has "2" in it's I_InvoiceNumber field has 1 job report.This works for presenting the information for each invoice in a Access Report but now I'm trying to make a table view just to see all the invoices and job reports in a big list.
The problem is that using a query presents me with the same information duplicated. So in the example the query would display I_InvoiceNumber as "1" for jobreport1 then a new record showing I_InvoiceNumber as "1" for jobreport2 and then another new record for jobreport3 again showing I_InvoiceNumber as "1".
What I want is for I_InvoiceNumber to be displayed once and then prehaps a expanding tree showing all the job reports sharing this number in their J_InvoiceNumber field.
I'm having a problem with mdb file size. I'm importing a large amount of data from a number of tab delimited text files via a simple transfertext function. The process goes: empty the tables in the database, then import the data into the tables.
All this works fine, but the file size rockets to over 1.5Gb. When I then compact and repair, it goes down to 420Mb. I'm not deleting and recreating the tables, and at no point is there 1.5Gb worth of real data, so what's causing this?
N.B. I realise I can call compact and repair following the import, but this is going to take too long as they are user-initiated imports.
I found a post where it shows how to create a single collapsable/expandable section. I am needing to do this for 10 sections with a lot of information in between each section. The coding that this post provides does not seem doable for that many sections. How to create a collapsable/expandable subform?
I'm working on a scheduling system for my fathers company that automates some redundant tasks. Most importantly the system manages the order of processes on different parts (ie, part "tubes" may be cut, then drilled, then welded, then shipped).
I'm trying to create a form that allows for the editing and viewing of all the parts and the processes for each part for a specific work Order. Ideally the information that applies to all the parts (Work order Number, due date etc) would appear at the top of the form with all of the processes to appear beneath (Separated into groups - all the parts to be welded shown together). My problem with using sub forms for this was that I need all the records to be shown without scrolling. Is there a way to dynamically change the size of each Subform to match the required size, or is there a better feature to use?
I'd like to expand me tree view automatically when a node matches a string variable from a table. In other words, when a node in a tree matches the given name (variable), the tree will expand all the way down to that name. I guess I need to use "For each node" and when the node and variable match, the tree structure will show up.
I have come up with something like this:
Code: For Each nd In Me.tree.Nodes If nd = level1 Then nd.Child.EnsureVisible Exit For End If Next nd Me.tree.SetFocus
But this only shows the first level of my tree ( btw. I have a 3 level tree). I get lost inside the FOR when I want to make use of another two variables - level2 and level 3
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237" If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
I have been creating a form, based on only one table. Here I am displaying data as text boxes and subfrom from the same table. At the beginning, I was interested in controlling the display of the data according to the combo box (in this case is the PO number). Now, I would like to add another combox box which is the year (I have a column with the date, and also I have a column that shows only the years digits in my table) Also, I have a subform that display the data from the same table specifics records that I want. It means that I want to pick the year first, and then in the combox box of po number shows only option of that year, and hence the text boxes and subforms change accordingly to the two combox boxes.
I have a combo box on a form with three values, when I select one of the values I want a text box to show a corresponding value.
The combo box has three values for different types of memberships; under18, over60, and standard, these have different prices. So what I want is for when one of the values is selected the text box will show the price.
Any help on how to do this? The database is below.
Is there a way whereby I, or another user, can amend the ‘TOP’ value of a query via a Combo or Text box entry on a form? I have searched this Forum for a solution to this very problem but have had no success. I understand how to achieve this via the queries ‘SQL’ view but cant figure out a way to do it by the way that I have already described!!
Your advice or a ‘pointer’ in the right direction would be extremely well received.
I have a text box on a form that is bound to a field in a table that is populated by a combo box coded into the table whose data source is a select query.
Everything looks fine in the table, but when I display the data on the form it is displaying a different field of the source select query than the one displayed on the table.
I've a form with a combo box "OrderNumber" (to allow the user to select the correct order) and a text box "Date" which displays the date of the order selected. The problem is that I don't know how to synchronize the boxes. I know the procedure to do it with two combo-boxes (cmboDate=Null & cboDate.Requery in the after update property of the cbo "Order Number"), but is it possible that when I change the order selected in the combo-box, the text box shows the correct date? Thanks for your help!
Field "City" is connected to a combo box and field "country" to a textbox on the form.
I would like the user to select a city from the combo box. When this is done the textbox linked to the country field should automatically update to show the correct country. This should update without user intervention.
I would find it better to have the text box look up a value list rather than use a table for its source. the form is being used as data entry. The combobox linked to field "city" is also a value list.
Aaaargh! It's a couple of years since I got my hands dirty in Access and I seem to have forgotten more than I thought! :( I have a simple database which includes tables STOPS (stopID, stop name, routeID, Cost band), JOURNEY(CustID, routeID, stopID), and ROUTES (routeID, Route name, Bus co). I have a main form with the customer number on linking to a sub-form on which the user will select the route from a combo box and then the stop from a combo box. All works fine but I want to filter the stop combo box to show only stops on the route already chosen. I've done similar before but I have tried all sorts and failed to get anything to work. Any help appreciated.
I have a combo box that I use a barcode scanner with. I scan the barcode and it finds the product using the code below:
Private Sub cmbBarCode_Click() ' ADD A TRANSACTION AUTOMATICALLY
Dim RS As ADODB.Recordset Set RS = New ADODB.Recordset RS.Open "SELECT * from tblTransactions", Application.CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic RS.AddNew RS!OrderID = ID RS!Barcode = cmbBarcode.Column(0) RS!Manufacturer = cmbBarcode.Column(1) RS!ProductName = cmbBarcode.Column(2) RS!QuantitySold = -1 RS!Cost = cmbBarcode.Column(4) RS.Update RS.Close Set RS = Nothing lstTransactions.Requery
End Sub
What I need to happen is all the above but after it has finished or before it starts it needs to clear the contents of the box. So the barcode is entered it runs the above script and then removes the barcode from the combo box, so I am ready to scan the next barcode.
I am trying to set the result of a query as the default value for a text or combo box. I have tried setting the query as the default value in the box's property. I have also tried doing it in VB. The code looks like this
Dim SQL AS String
SQL = "SELECT Address FROM Table1 WHERE Name = Forms!Main_frm!name_lbx.Value;"
Forms!Address_frm!address_cbx.DefaultValue = SQL
I have also tried
Dim SQL AS String
SQL = DoCmd.OpenQuery([update address_qry])
Forms!Address_frm!address_cbx.Value = SQL
Where update address_qry is the same as the above.
I keep both forms. I know how to do it by setting the queries as values in a list box, then transfering the values to the text or combo boxes. But I was hoping there was an easier way.

I would like to know how can i reference a combo box to the value of a text box on the form it is for a purchasing system.
if i select product one i only want the the order quantity for that item to show and the same with the price field as all the reorder levels and cost information is stored in a table. i have created queries only selecting the product code and reorder quantity and the product code and the cost price.
I have searched and looked for this throughout the forum but can't find it. I have a simple text box which I want to populate based on a combo box. The combo needs to display the table's field name and the text box needs to display the record. Is this possible? Cheers, Rene
Thanks so much for your help in advance. I’m working on a Form1 that has a combo box with Row Source coming from a query Just like:
NAME ITEM_ID
Smith 10011
Smith 10012
Scott 10022
Clark 10015
Clark 10016
Now, I want to be able to update the Item_ID value to text boxes txt_SN1 and txt_SN2 once I click on the combo box and select the name “Smith” then show 10011 in txt_SN1 and 10012 in txt_SN2. I’m not sure if this can be done with record set or just with column values from the query.
Can someone help me with this problem? Your help will be highly appreciated.
I have one combo box and a text field. When I select the Analyst name from the combo box I want to display its corresponding Badge Id in the text field. Both the Analyst name and the Badge Id are in the same table.
Hi there, I hope someone will take pity on me and help me as I am new to databases so here goes. I have combo boxes in a form that the user would like to be able to press the Enter key and just go to a new line, not go to the next field. This is so they can have say 4 sentences but have each one on a new line in the combo box. Hope this makes sense. Thanks
I have a field that is a combo box that I would like to convert into a text box. When I try to change the 'display control' to 'text' I loose all the information that is displayed in the field. I want to keep the current values that are there now, just do away with the combo box.
I have tried simple things like copy and paste, but that just makes the new field a combo box as well.
