I have a form that we are creating to issue project numbers. We have about 80 different clients. I have set up a combo box for the client name, where we can choose the client from the drop down menu. We want the form to filter according to the client name that you choose. For example, if you pick Lawrence as the client name, the next combo box is the project name and I want it to only show the project names that have been assigned to Lawrence in the past. Can someone please help me on how to do this and if it is even possible at all? Thank you so much for your help!! I have been wrestling with this for about a week and a half now.
Please help. My inability to achieve this is very frustrating.
I have a tabular form based on a query, which returns a large number of records. I need users to be able to filter the records to display data relating to what they have entered in a number of combo boxes.
For example I have fields showing Product ID, Manufacturer ID, Purchase Order number and due date. Each of these fields has a corresponding unbound combo box where users can select values that appear in the table. I need to be able to filter the form based on what is in these combo boxes. I.e. Filler for a product ID to show all purchase orders numbers and due dates relating to that product ID or filter for a manufacturer ID and due date to show all Product IDs and purchase orders relating to that a manufacturer and date.
Ideally this would be achieved by pressing a command button.
The query, table and combo boxes are all built and work fine but I am unable to get the filter to work, I am using Access 97 and am not very familiar with visual basic. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm attempting to filter my form with combo boxes. I've added the below code, but the if statement that checks if one of the combo boxes is null won't work. If the combo box is null or "", it's supposed to assign a wildcard to the variable. But it doesn't pass the test and goes straight to the Else statement. I've highlighted the if statement that keeps failing in red.
Code: Private Sub btn_Search_Click() 'create variables to store the combo box values Dim str_Country As String Dim str_Vendor As String Dim str_Survey As String
I am designing a database to keep track of workers for a haunted house. I have a Roster table, a table of all the nights we are open, a table of Spots in the house, and a table to record who works what nights and what spot they are in. This table has a Room combo box and a Spot combo box. The Room combo has a Row Source of SELECT DISTINCT SpotsAll.Room FROM SpotsAll ORDER BY SpotsAll.Room; The Spot combo is then populated with VB code all the Spots that are in that room. That works fine. This is what I'm trying to accomplish: When a Spot is assigned to a Worker for that night, I want that spot to no longer be available in that list FOR THAT PARTICULAR NIGHT. So, lets say Joe Somebody works in Spot 1 (out of 4 lets say) of the Library Room, when we assign another person to the Library room, I don't want Spot 1 in the Spot list.
Can this be done with a query or VB code? If I'm not making sense, please let me know. I can also upload the Database I am creating so that you can play around with it and see what I mean.
(I have attached a word doc. that shows the table relationships.)

I am using master/child form for data entry for packings and the details for this packings (i.e. the products inside a packing is entered in subform and packing master is entered in main form ).
In the detail subform i use a productId field which has look up from 1000 products , so i want to filter that particular combo box based on different types from product master ( from which it choses the products).
How many ways are there to filter that combo box based on different types ( which i have in product master as type,design,material etc).One way of which is combo boxes on main form.
I have three comboboxes and I want to have the first one filter the second one and the filtered second one filter the third one.
Filtering the first one on the second one works, but when I whant to add a third one to it, it just shows blank spaces on the third one.
What I did to the first and the second combobox :
1: I pressed the second combobox. 2: Went to rowsource. 3: filled criteria in on the value i whant to connect the first combox to the second combobox ( [Forms]![Thetableimin].[1stcombobox]. 4. requery the second combobox in programcode on the first combobox.
What I did to the second and the third combobox:
1: I pressed the third combobox. 2: Went to rowsource. 3: filled criteria in on the value i whant to connect the second combobox to the third combobox ( [Forms]![Thetableimin].[2ndcombobox] 4. requery the third combobox in programcode on the second combobox.
How do I make a third combobox that uses the filtered values of the second combobox to filter the third combobox.
I thought I was in the home stretch of my project, everything worked great when I was messing with 200 records. Now that I'm messing with 2000+ records, things are very slow. So a search form redesign!
I have a form (frmSearch) that has a subform (frmSubSearch) embedded in it. The frmSubSearch is a datasheet only that is just pulling its info from a query (qrySearch). qrySearch has about 8 columns of data in it.
On the main form I have a combo box that is feeding its list from the qrySearch using a SELECT DISTINCT statement. So a user selects an item in the combo box and my After_Update fires. This sets a filter on frmSubSearch. I have three of these combo boxes that can add to the filter and they work great so far.
But I want to have the combo boxes filter themselves based on whats left on frmSubSearch. So if a user selects something in the 2nd combo box, the sub form filters and updates, but then I want the other two combo boxes to only have valid selections, and not something selectable that would wind up giving me a blank sub form result.
I have tried using .Requery in various ways, but its not working. I have also been looking into the idea of Cascading Comboboxes, but these don't seem to quite fit what I'm trying to do.
I am creating a query that should filter records of events based on multiple fields. The filters should work with any combination of field criteria, but only two of the four field are working properly, as follows:
1. a text box for searching with event name (free text) - this is working; 2. a combo box to filter events by country name - this is working; 3. a combo box to filter events by event's keyword (category) - this is NOT working; 4. a combo box to filter events by year - this is NOT working
I have two questions. I have a form with 2 combo boxes. The first pulls from a simple list. Once you make a choice, the second combo box is then filtered by the first. This works correct, except that once a choice is made in the first, the filter is locked. If you change the first combo box's value a second time it does not effect the second box. The query that I am using for the second combo box has two columns that pull the first 50 characters of a pair of memo fields. Quote: SELECT MSSS.SS_ID, Left([Application_Name],50) AS Expr1, Left([Description],50) AS Expr2, MSSS.Site_Code FROM MSSS WHERE (((MSSS.Site_Code)=[Forms]![Edit or Delete Requests]![Combo6])); These fields are then used to populate 2 text fields using an event procedure. Quote: Private Sub Combo10_AfterUpdate() ' Display Partial Application Name and Description based on choice Me!txtApplication_Name = Me!Combo10.Column(1) Me!txtDescription = Me!Combo10.Column(2) End Sub This is working fine, but it starts the next problem.
I need to change the form to include the entire memo field into a text box. I was using the columns of the second combo box to fill them in. Since the combo box is limited to only 50 characters, i could only grab part of it. I am guessing there is a much better way to accomplish what I need, but I am too inexperienced with forms and vb to come up with it. Below are the fields I need from table MSSS Business_Name Application_Name Description Acronym Level_1_Support Level_2_Support Escalation_process Troubleshooting Priority Links Modified Disabled
i have a calender of which show's records on date box's i m having a issue when i double click on a datebox it opens a form call update which is filtered on open to show only records for this date but on date boxs on 1st to the 11th i have add the code to do this but when the form open's the form is blank and shows no records but the code works fine for 12th to 31st which i can't understand why? as im using the same code that does dateboxs 12th to 31st on datebox 1st to 11th but doesnt work i'm pulling my hair out on this one !!
I have a Suppliers database which contains a form that will allow me to place orders with Suppliers.The Main form has a combo box that allows me to select the supplier. The combo box is called SupplierID with the following:
Row source: SELECT Suppliers.SupplierID, Suppliers.CompanyName FROM Suppliers ORDER BY Suppliers.CompanyName;
The subform is called Stock Subform witha combo box called ProductID with the following:
Row source: SELECT DISTINCT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Products.Discontinued FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID=Products.SupplierID WHERE (((Products.Discontinued)=0)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName; Event Procedure - AfterUpdate: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_AfterUpdate Dim strFilter As String ' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function. strFilter = "ProductID = " & Me!ProductID
[code]..
The Link fields are done on the Purchase Order ID (PONoID).What I want to achieve is to select the supplier from the combo box (SupplierID) on the main form and then the combo box (ProductID) on the subform to filter to only show products directly supplied by the Supplier selected on the Main Form.
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID. 2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type FROM Order_Type INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).
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)
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
Im having trouble filtering a combobox on a form. I have two Comboboxes, one is called (FleaTickWorming) depending on what is elected in this cobo, will deside on what is available in the other combo which is called (Product). The form is a continuous form. The filtering works, in as far as it changes the list each time, but it also deletes the item that I have chosen on previous records if the list is different. My code is as follows:
Code: Private Sub FleaTickWorming_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Me.FleaTickWorming.Column(0) = 1 Then Me.Product.RowSource = "qry_FleaProducts" ElseIf Me.FleaTickWorming.Column(0) = 2 Then
I have a serious issue to solve and I would like to ask for your help, as I just don't seem to know how and where to start from.
I need to make a database that will have 2 tables, say tbl_item and tbl_offer. The items table will have different cardboard dimensions and other characteristics (width, height, color, photo, price etc) while the tbl_offer will have different combinations of clients' cardboard requests.
The workflow is:
A client comes and asks for:
- two pieces of cardboard of 120x100 cm - five pieces of cardboard of 135x90 cm - one piece of cardboard of 110x125 cm
I want to be able to enter the client's request in a form and the form will do 2 things:
1. Store the clients request as a record in the table tbl_offer (for current or future referrence) 2. Create a report (out of the above record) that will be printed out and given to the client (but I suppose that's easy...)
Now tbl_item has different types of cardboard (their code names) along with different dimensions and price for each, for example:
1. I don't know exactly how I can create a form (say frm_offer) that will give me the possibility to add many different cardboard types and save them as one offer to the tbl_offer. What I would like is to choose from a combobox (or any other similar function) the type (say 002) and by this selection a second combobox would be filled only with the available Width dimensions for this type (165, 140, 170). By choosing what I want from the width combobox, a third combobox would be available that would give me the available height dimensions for this width (if for example I chose Type 002 and Width 140, the last combobox would give me two choices, 105 and 130). After choosing the Height I want, I would fill in a text box of how many pieces the client wants and the form would also fill automatically the cost of all the pieces for that dimension (by taking the price/item from the tbl_item perhaps?). If 1 piece then it should say i.e. 18 for the 140x130 piece, if 10 pieces it should say 180. Finally, I want to add the photo of the cardboard automatically (pls note that same type of cardboards share the same photo) not at the form but at the report to be printed.
I have already looked in the Access FAQs section of the forum for the combobox techniques but I can't understand how I can apply them to three (or more) comboboxes plus the photo.
I can use Access only when little/no programming is required, and I am very much afraid that all the above will require a great deal of it, so I apologise in advance for my non-knowledge of programming :(
2. How do you think would be suitable to split all this data to tables? Is my thinking correct (2 tables, tbl_item and tbl_offer) or would you suggest something better? Will the tbl_offer get a lot of data that way? Mind you also that every once a year there is the need of updating the cardboards' prices (all will rise/fall at the same percentage) and, furthermore, we are talking for about approx. 100 different types of cardboards, each with about 15 different dimension combinations.
I am not sure if I had to post this message to the Tables section of the forum or here but I think here is better as the main problem is the form part.
Thank you all in advance and my apologies once again for the low level of my programming skills :(
I need a form that has multiple categories, 7, listed one after another vertically. I also need the categories divided in to 2 columns. I need to have 2 combo boxes, 1 each controlling the info for each column. Can I do this on 1 form. Suggestions would be appreciated.
I have a continous form that once the combo box filters are selected, shows the applicable records. Included in records, I've put a bound combo box that allows the user to fill in that particular field. This works with the first record but when you attempt to select the other records, all the combo boxes disappear. What am I doing wrong here??
I have two combo boxes on the form and print button. In one combo box showing numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5. Other combo box showing logical operator =,<,> User is going to select from one combo box logical operator and from other number "means class field". Print button prints the report. Report is based on the query. In the query in criteria line I put the code [FORMS]![MAINFORM]![CMB_CLASS] It works for one combo box. Problem is to get criteria from second combo box or concatenate the both criteria’s. In query criteria line it should show like <2 or =3 or what ever user is selecting.
Second problem is in the same line. Three text boxes and 2 combo boxes showing "OR" and "AND" For example in one text box user enters last_name and then he select "OR", second text box enter city and then he select "AND" from second combo box and third text box enter department. After selection he is going to click the print button to print the report.
I really appreciate if anyone knows the solution or they used this type of thing in there application.
Hi all! :D I'm trying to make a form to autofill with customer data (from a database), with 4 columns (= 4 customers). Each column contains on top a combo box and below 5 text boxes with address, phone etc. So i created a form and placed a combo-box (from wizard) with the option "Find a record on my form based on the value i selected in my combo box". The problem is that this one combo box controls all the text boxes. Even if i create an other one, it still controls all of them.
So i'd like to ask: How can i link a combo box, to autofill specific textboxes?:confused:
I have re-written this question as I think I managed to cause confusion!
(I really do need help!) My problem involves three tables. The first table is NAMES with an auto-number key field called NamesID.
The second table is a list of Dance Classes, called CLASSES again with an auto-number key field called ClassesID.
The third table is a list of MEMBERS in each dance class.
Obviously, the MEMBERS can belong to many CLASSES, and each of the CLASSES can consist of many MEMBERS.
My aim is to add a new record in MEMBERS by using a ComboBox containing records from the NAMES table.
On the form, I have a combo-box which shows me the list of CLASSES
(ComboClasses). I click on the class.
I then click on the NAMES combo-box, click on a name and want it to appear in the table of MEMBERS for the class shown in the CLASSES combo-box.
The problem
I am selecting the name using “ Select * From NAMES where Names.NamesID=[Forms]![FormName]![ComboNames] (supplied by supersubra) but how do I get the ClassesID into MEMBERS record.
At the moment, if I add a name that member appears in every class, or I have to manually insert the ClassID.
