Hi,
I have a form with a list box that is filtered by the entry made into a combo box. It works fine except that I want an option which shows all records in the list box. I tried using the formula below in the query criteria for the list box but it returns no records when I select All in the combo box. Why won't it work? Is there a better way to do this? Can anyone help?
IIf([Combo32].[Value]="All",Like "*",[Combo32].[Value])
I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to make filtering in a form as e-a-s-y as possible for a group pf people who have mostly never used Access. I need some help with an idea.
I have a form they fill out to enter their data... but then they later might have to come back in to edit the record or add additional data. There are only two fields on which they would navigate to records: MyName and ProjectNum.
I would like to have a header in the form... or something like this idea... that would have these two fields in it. With each of these, there would be a "Go To" button that would filter the records shown in the form to either those that are under their name or the single project record. I don't want to train them on "Filter By Selection" or "Filter By Form" because I hide the toolbars in this database. Also, as this is a shared database, I need their filter to be deactivated when they select another button or close the form.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. As you can see, I am just no good at this and reeeeeally need some help here. Thank you.
I have a bound form, in its heading I have a combo box which lists three choices. Basically I want to filter all my purchase records by checking a field PUOrderNb (Example: PO200100025) against the choice made in the combo box, namely DE (for demand), PO (for Purchase order) etc. On the after update event of the combo box, I have the following code:
Dim strfilter As String
strfilter = " left ([PuOrderNb],2) like " & cboFilter.Column(1)
Me.Filter = strfilter
Me.FilterOn = True
When I make a choice in the combo box, I get a window asking me to enter a parameter value and it lists the value of the combo box choice as a sort of a title just above the white input fame.When I type in PO for instance, the program does correctly filter all order numbers starting with PO, but the whole point of having a combo box is not to have to type anything.The other odd thing is, when I change the choice in the combo box, after my first choice, I do not get this parameter question but nothing happens as to filtering. The first choice remains active.
In my main form, there is this date entry selection and a subform with data on it.
How can I make the subform filter its data from date entry selection?
I have already created a relationships for my tables
I created a query for this subform (should I need to?)
It does not refresh my subform or I do not know what to do?
I have seen a few articles here and there on using a combo box to filter records in a sub-form and to filter records in another combo box, but I am not getting anywhere. I hope someone can belp
Exercise 1
For this exercise, I have the following tables:
tblClients containing client names
tblProjects containing some project details
I want to set up a simple form, so that the user can select a client name from a combo box on the main form which filters the project detail records in the Projects sub-form.
Once the user enters project details, I want this info as well as the selected ClientID to be fed back to tblProjects.
Exercise 2
I have the following tables:
tblProjects as above
tblWorkstream containiig names of workstreams and some other details.
Every project has one or more workstreams
I have a form where users will enter hours worked on each workstream. They will first select Project from a combo box on the main form. This should then filter records to be displayed in the Workstream Combo box, before they can then enter hours.
Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of this better.
Thanks in advance.
ps. I am a novice, so I'm hoping to do the above using default MS stuff, not with complex programming!!!
Thanks
i have a table with three column Named
1-State
2-City
3-Customer
on a form i m placing 3 combo box for each column how can i filter combo 2 from table after select value from combo 1
I'm having a little difficulty setting up a combo box to filter another combo box. I've actually got one working but the second one is giving me all sorts of errors. On the attached database, there's a form called frmAddNewRecord. At the top of the form there's a combo box which allows you to select a name and another combo box beside it which acts as a filter so only names from a certain section are shown (working fine).
The subform which is attached to this form and contains the training details, has another combo box which allows you to select a job...I've tried to add a combo box beside this to filter it but I can't get it to work.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a little bit of help here. I have a form and on this form I have a combo box. Now this combo box is populated by a table that I have called "Options". So this is all fine and dandy to select items already existing in the table, but ideally I would like to be able to input a new "Option" through this combo box if it doesn't exist in the table already.
I'm thinking I'd have to do something with the "On Not in List" event but I don't know VBA at all.
Also, I will eventually have a Price box next to this combo running off a query driven by the entry in the combo box. Again, I'd like to be able to input a new cost to the existing item or a cost for the newly entered item
Thanks in advance for the help

Hi can anyone help please.
I have a form where users can specify crtieria for a query. The value that the user enters via a combo box on a form is entered in a query. The user then hits a button to run the query.
Problem is the entry i have in the criteria of the query that links to the form is not quite right. It work for when they enter a value but causes problems when they leave it blank. I currently have:
Like (IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Main]![CBGroup]),"*",[Forms]![Main]![CBGroup]))
CBGroup is the name of the combo box and this expression sits in the criteria of the group field.
If the user does not enter a value in the combo box i want the query to return all the records, including where the field is blank. However at the minute it only returns the records where there is any value, not the blanks as well.
The expression above works fine with Text boxes but not combos.
Sorry for the essay, thanks if you read down this far.
HELP!
Can't seem to figure this out.
I built a db for tracking and entering sales info but I'm having a problem with one of my combo boxes. To make entering data easier, I created a combo box that you can select a sales persons name from, then based on who is selected, their Title and Office location also populated.
The problem I have is when I want to manually type in the Name and other info for a temporary sales person. How can I allow users to choose from the drop down or just type it in if that person is not in the list?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Hey,
I have several list combo boxes on my form that I want to prevent users from adding data to. How can I do this? For example, there is a list box for insurance carrier, etc. :confused:
Thank you,

hey guys, i have this code which will let you type into a combo box "db" and it will pick out the selection "Die Cut / Back Slit". the following code works except for an error message coming up before it goes into the code.
"the text you entered isnt an item in the list"
anyone know how i can get around this? i tried turning warnings off on the sub but it seems to happen by default before the sub?
Code:Private Sub cmbCut_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)' if pressed not enter or tab , add to a string then select value from entered chars'enter or tab key pressed (added delete and space keys to miss adding to string)If KeyAscii <> 13 And KeyAscii <> 9 And KeyAscii <> 8 And KeyAscii <> 32 Then enteredChars = enteredChars & Chr(KeyAscii)Else DoCmd.SetWarnings False Select Case enteredChars ' get letters entered and set value from combo Case "S" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(0) Case "B" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(1) Case "D" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(2) Case "DB" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(3) Case "T" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(4) Case "F" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(5) Case "FS" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(6) Case "FC" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(7) Case "FSC" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(8) Case Else 'do nothing End Select enteredChars = "" DoCmd.SetWarnings TrueEnd IfEnd Sub

I have a form with a combo box. I use this form to enter data into the database. The combo box selections are from a separate table. If the required entry is not in the drop down menu selections from the table, the user needs to type in the proper selection. If this happens I want the table driving the combo box dropdown to be automatically updated with the new entry so that the data will appear in the drop down menu selections the next time. How is the best way of accomplishing this. Thanks for any answers and examples.
In my database I have the following:
tables
-course
-programme
-trainer
-trainercourse
relationship
-trainer to course (many to many)
-course to programme(many to one)
I have created an input form to add new trainer. In the input form i have combo box to enter trainer's course n trainer's program.
Each time i save a new record. A new data is created in the course and program table. I dont want that to occur. I want the data to be saved in the trainer query with the existing course and program.
I have created a form that searches through one of my tables, via a query, it then automatically creates a report from that query.
I want to add an option into the combo box's that is blank.
Currently if you wanted to choose by 'fault category' but accidently click on 'failure analysis', it will take the top value of the combo as the entry, you can't then blank 'failure analysis'.
Each combo box gets its information from an independent table.
The only think I figured out what adding the refresh button which just closes then reopens the form so all the fields go blank.
first of all, i'm new to access. the only experience i have with it is reading the "microsoft office inside out", access section, and doing some research on the web.
i work for a school district and my boss has asked me to make a database with all our assets. i used to have everything in excel, but he prefers access, so here i am. what i'm wanting help with is making a combo box that lists manufacturers like hp, dell, etc., and then having the next field show a list of models depending on what was selected in the manufacturers field. so if i select dell, i want only dell models to show up in the combo list for models.
i can make the combo lists, but i don't know how to make it so that the entry in one field affects the list in another field. i've tried putting in lookup values, i've tried doing it with expressions in queries, and a few other things. i've tried searching google, and the forums and i've found things that are kind of similar to what i want, but doesn't do exactly what i want. so here i am...is there a simple way to do this? this isn't required of me, but now it's driving me crazy because that's the way i'd like to have it but i can't figure it out.
i'd appriciate any help with this.
thanks.
I can't work out how to update the selections available in a combo box as follows: I use a combo box in a main form to select a record (yacht) If it's a new yacht then I use an event linked to a button to call another form to add the new Yacht On exiting the Yacht Maintenance form I return to the main form The combo box in the main form doesn't list the yacht i just added unless I exit and re-load the form
I'm not sure of the best way to refresh the combo box selections or main form without exiting.
I want a combo box in a form for data entry. Is the best method in doing this creating a new combo box in the form and linking it to a table, or using a lookup field in my table?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a Data Entry only form based on a small table called tblProject.
It consist of the fields Project_ID, Artist_ID, Project_Name, and Project_Notes.
I used the wizard to get me started and i know how to change the form to data entry only, but the problem is the vague data in the Artist_ID control. It shows up as a number, because it is an FK to another table (tblArtist) where more details on the artist are held. (including Band_Name)
I want to be able to make it a combobox with a list of the Band_Names from the tblArtist table. This would make creating "a new project" much easier.
On a form to enter some new client info, I want users to be able to select their UserID from a combo box for future reference to other users (ie; Who made these notes?). For various reasons I want them to be able to add their UserID to the combo list for future selection if its not already on there.
There is a table set up for users, simply called tblUsers, with a single field, UserID. A query from this sorts the list alphabetically, and the combo uses this query to populate its list - qryUserID.
Users can currently select from a list or write their own UserID in the box, however when they write their own ID it doesn't get saved.
I don't need any message boxes or checking, just add it and move on kind of thing. It doesn't need to refresh the list immediately, as the user moves on swiftly once completing 2 more fields.
I have a form with four combo boxes on it, the four boxes all open the same form and return a record based on the selection from a different column from the same query.
To make it work smoothly I think I need to make it so it is only possible to enter data in one combo box at a time. I could also do with some error handling.
I have a combo box that is not tied to any control but uses a value list as the row source in the data tab. My question is... it currently holds two names but I am wanting to add a third but when I do the third name does not appear like the first two in the form view. The first two show:
Last Name, First Name, employee #
And the third shows
Last Name, First Name
employee #
And on the third entry... the first name shows where the employee # should be
I am using Access 2003 and I am having trouble with a Combo Box on a form.
I had a combo box (based on a table), storing the choice in a field in the query and underlying table the form is based on. Everything was working fine, until... I altered the form based on a query. Now when you make a choice from the drop down list you get an error bell and nothing happens.
Hi All,
Just after a code or way to filter client details via a combo box.
Basically select combox drop down menu select the sales rep then it filters by sales rep and shows only the clients for that sales rep. I can get it to filter but it does the first client of that sales rep but not the rest.
Thanks

I have two combo boxes, Company Name & Name. The data that is selected is used to run a query from a button. However i would like to set it that if the user (but not required) selects the company name then only the names of the people belonging to that company appear, but if no company is selected then all the names for every company appear.
Can anyone make a suggestion as to the best way to go about this.
Thanks
