Filtering Out Items In Combo Boxes
Aug 3, 2006
Need some help here....
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.)
Thanks a lot ahead of time!!

Let's assume we have 3 tables:
Order_Category (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type_Name) with 2 records:
1, Minor
2, Major
Order_Type (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type) with 4 records:
1, Book
1, Pencil
2, Car
2, House
Orders (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type, value) with 2 records:
1, NULL, NULL
1, NULL, NULL
2, NULL, NULL
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).

Hi im stuck on filtering a combo box (i am using an sql query to populate a combo box with a filtered selection, this is in Access but im after some design sanity checking). I have users who can be assigned a category. Jobs can be assigned a category and also have a list of people working on that job (in the JobDetails table). I have the following tables:
Categories Table:
CategoryID (PK)
Description
Users Table:
UserID (PK)
Username
CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
Jobs Table:
JobID (PK)
CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
JobDetails Table:
JobID (FK on Jobs.JobID)
UserID (FK on Users.UserID)
Then in the job details when listing users for a job (many users can be for one job) i would like to only show the users which have the same category as the jobs category. Is this possible? i tried the SQL below for the lookup column field JobDetails.UserID but it doesnt work:
SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.CategoryID
FROM Users, Jobs
WHERE (((Users.CategoryID)=[Jobs].[CategoryID]));
All the tables are linked with relationships but my SQL isnt so hot!
Any ideas as to how i would do this and get it working?
Even if it can be done, is this even recommended? I can see funny conditions happening if the job details category changes or the users category changes then even if they are existing in the job details list they will not be shown? Even so, i would be interested in the above to know how it is done (if possible).
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hey Guy and Ladies,
In one database (Originally an Orders Database created by wizards)
This code to add items to a drop down list in the “orders details subform” works fine.
Private Sub ProductID_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_DblClick
Dim lngProductID As Long
If IsNull(Me![ProductID]) Then
Me![ProductID].Text = ""
Else
lngProductID = Me![ProductID]
Me![ProductID] = Null
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm "Products", , , , , acDialog, "GotoNew"
Me!ProductID.Requery
If lngProductID <> 0 Then Me![ProductID] = lngProductID
Exit_ProductID_DblClick:
Exit Sub
Err_ProductID_DblClick:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_ProductID_DblClick
End Sub
When the same code runs in my new database
Private Sub OptionID_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_OptionID_DblClick
Dim lngOptionID As Long
If IsNull(Me![OptionID]) Then
Me![OptionID].Text = ""
Else
lngOptionID = Me![OptionID]
Me![OptionID] = Null
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm "Products", , , , , acDialog, "GotoNew"
Me!OptionID.Requery
If lngOptionID <> 0 Then Me![OptionID] = lngOptionID
Exit_OptionID_DblClick:
Exit Sub
Err_OptionID_DblClick:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_OptionID_DblClick
End Sub
I get the error message
“You tried to assign the Null value to a variable that is not a Variant date type”
Any suggestions?
Also if anyone knows a better way to add items to a list box “On the Fly” I would really appreciate it.
It would be nice if you could type in the value and it would automatically add it to the list for future use.
Thanks for all of your help,
Joe

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.
Thanks.

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
[Code] ....

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
Thanks in advance to any help!

In the past I have used a combo box (in a form), based on a table, to update a record in another table. However, this method only allows the user to select an existing item in the combo box's list of items to select.
I would like for the user to be able to have a combo box that provides a list ot items to select from but also has the ability to allow the user to type in a new item. I know that FileMaker Pro has the ability to do this, but I hate FileMaker Pro. Does anyone know how to do this in Access?

This is a somewhat complicated question to explain, so please bare with me.
I have a form with a ‘list box.’ The box is populated using a Table/Query Row Source Type method. The table I am grabbing the list from is “Department,” where it contains a list of my company’s departments(ie. Accounting, HR, Payroll, etc.).
Now, the only thing this table does not have is the word “ALL.” I need this word in the “List Box” because I want users to have the option to select ALL.
Is there anything in VBScript code wise or in Row Source that I can do to include this word?
I know I can manually go into the Department table to simply add the word, but this is not the point, because there is more to that(I have different list boxes that are grabbing lists from different tables, AND I have to refresh these tables twice a week). Please help.
Thank you.
Joe

I've got a table with 23 columns. Column 1 is the ID row which has a unique client ID in it. Then we've got a column called 1st_Reason and one that goes with it called 1st_Transfer_Date. This pair repeats for 2 through 10. Each of the Reason columns can have a set value, for example "First Processor".
What I need to do is create a date with months on the Y axis and the 5 different reasons on the X axis. I need to count the number of "First Processor" across all 10 Reason columns for each month. I would need to repeat that for each other reason type, but if I can get one to work I can simply change the reason type.
Here's what I'm using to count May's total:
Code:
=Sum(IIf([Current_Reason]="First Processor" And [Current_Processor_Transfer] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,IIf([1st_Reason]="First Processor" And [1st_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,0)))+(IIf([2nd_Reason]="First Processor" And [2nd_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,IIf([3rd_Reason]="First Processor" And [3rd_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
[Code] .....
I get wildly inconsistent results. On one of the types, it's only counting where it's the 1st_Reason. Some of the others return the same value regardless of which month I have selected.

I am new in MS Access programming and is trying to create a search form for all records based on selected dates and check box. I was able to filter the records by dates but can't find ways to filter the records that meet the dates to be filtered again based on the selected check box/s. Basically what I wanted to is display all the records within the selected dates and check box/s.

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.
