I've enclosed a screenshot as it tells the story pretty well by istelf.
I would simply like to be able to click any item in the listbox (populated from a query simply showing all records in a table). Once an item is clicked in the listbox, I'd like the form to go to that record (this is to enable quick finding and deleting of records).
I've been playing for a while, and can't figure out how to make Access go to the record that's selected in the listbox.
I have a Listbox that I use to find records in the Database. It has two fields, [ShootID] and [ShootDate]. It is curently sorted in the query by [ShootID] but I want the user to be able to change it to sort by [ShootDate] and then back again.
I have a database which has a main form and subform built in linked by parent/child customerid, what i would like to do is search all the subform records from the whole DB and return its parent record on the main form?
Can this be done? because if i use find it will only search the filtered form i have onload of the form?
I have been looking for days on the net for my listbox problem. It is there and found a few, even on this forum. but when i try the solutions mentioned i am in a total loss and do not know what to change to make it work for me.
I have a form named A/B Retriever with a record source qry input AB Bins Than i have a unbound combobox with row source qry input AB Bins. This populates 8 textboxes with B through I carton boxes, stored in a bin. The user selects a Bin location from the combobox and can put a "x" in a textbox to illustrate that the box is empty. This works perfect.
Underneath the input bin and box part i have 8 listboxes that shows a query that has counted the empty boxes with the corresponding bin location. this also works. but the question from users where, If i click on a, lets say empty B-box at Bin location 12A20, they want the combobox automatically focus on the combobox with the corresponding Bin location. This is a quick way for them to delete a empty box (remove the X).
I have a mainform where TaxID is used in a combo box to add new records. The problem is not all of my paperwork will have either a SSN or EIN on it to filter the combo.
What I would like to do is use a searchform that has a listbox w/names and TaxID -->This works as I use it to search my records.
Using a copy of this search form I would like to add a new record using TaxId
I have tried different variations of this, and can get a new form to load but the TaxId is not updated.
Can someone help me for min?
***EDIT*** I have added an attachment of s stripped down db. I am still having problems trying to understand this, maybe someone could look at help, maybe my form is set up wrong.
Hello to all, Little new in Access i would like to know how to use the key to find directly to a record in a table. ie : i have a table where the primary key (unique) is a date, using VBA i would like to know the instruction to find directly the record 01/06/2004 for exemple. Thanks in advance. VINCENT
I forgot to mention that my form is based upon a table, i have created other tables and forms based on this one therefore I don't want to change a lot of stuff. I tried the forum but nothing helped.
I have a form with about 10 fields, i added a find button to search for a record, using three fields, when this button is click i want it to display all the info pertaining to the search criteria, (this will be displayed on the same form populating in the form which contains other feilds) or a error saying record not found.
Hi, i am a beginner to access and need some help if someone would be kind enough... i have a table (tblCustomer) which has all the standard customer details such as name, address, phone etc. The primary key of the table is a autonumber field (Customer ID). i have autoformed it so all the fields are now on a blank form. I want to add a text box to the form so that i can find a record by typing the customer's surname. Once this has been searched, i would like the records to be listed in a table in a subform further down the original form. I would then like the user to select the correct record they are looking for from the sub form, and the details to come up in the main form so they can be edited. The reason for the whole sub form part is because there may be more than one customer with the same surname. please could someone suggest how to achieve this.

I have navigation between forms and when a user navigations from the main form(candidate) to another form(1) and then back there is only 1 record displayed on the candidate form as it is only bringing back the record tied in by the application number. So if you then want to search for another candidate it doesn't work because the candidate form is filtered.
I've tried using this in my find function but it doesn't work: DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acFirst
Been away from access db's for a couple of years and have suddenly job i have to do, and of course the client wants it finished yesterday :rolleyes:
Anyway, my problem is that i have a simple form with suppier details in it - and a combo box which shows the products that that supplier has. The combo box runs on a custom query object i created that matches the supplierID's. Simple!
But for some reason when i change the supplier record, the combo box doesn't with the new list of products. The dynamic QUERY updates just fine, if i check it, however these results aren't reflected in the listbox.
If i use a subform, then that updates just fine. Alas, not the list box, though.
I must be forgetting something simple! Is there some kind of update event i have to create?
I have 12 fields, each containing a number. I want to display the last non zero value in a query. I've looked at "last" but this returns the items in chronological order, which is not neccessarily the order my data is entered in.
I have a form with a form header section that contains a combo box and a text box. The form also has a detail section that has a tab control that contains the rest of the data entry boxes. I put a Find Record button in the detail section of my form. When I try to Find Record using the combobox or textbox values in the form header, I get an error saying it cant search the tab control, use the Gotocontrol action before the Find Record Action, change current field action from yes to no, or change the focus to a searchable control. If I search items in the detail section I do not get errors. The code created by the Find Record button is below. I'm not sure how to get it to set focus to the appropriate box in the form header section if that is the field I am searching on.
Private Sub cmdFind_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdFind_Click
I have a large database I set up and we have been using fine for a couple of years now.
All of the sudden, anytime Find Record is clicked and the value is entered, I am getting the following error, on ALL forms. Nothing has been changed in the DB itself and it worked GREAT before.
The control 'Command 138' the macro is attempting to search can't be searched.
Try one of the following: * Add a GoToControl before the FindRecord action. * For the FindRecord action, change the Only Current Field action argument from yes to no. * Change the focus to a searchable control.
Can anyone help? It is VERY frusterating and I can't figure it out.
I have a combo box that displays LastName FirstName.
If I have two people with the same lastname it finds the first one in the table w/ that last name. Please help with my code so it searches by firstname and last name. Thanks in advance.

' Find the record that matches the control. Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[Contact_LastName] = '" & Me![cboContact] & "'" Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
On one of my forms I have a command button to find a record. The Find button is supposed to locate a record based on it's job number, this is not a primary key. I have this feeling it has something to do with the field Job Number because it is like this throughout the db (it is only recognizing the first record.) I even tried putting in another record but it still only recognizes that one record. What did I do wrong?
Hi, Newbie problem. I want to display on a form the last entry or (record) from a particular field of a table (the date field of the last club event). I have set the Form Property of 'Data Entry' to 'Yes' to prevent the user from having to scroll through records to get to the next blank record. Could someone kindly give me a clue how to go about displaying that last record of the field. Thank you.
I have developped a table and some forms reated to that.Since the main survey is quite long, I developed 4 forms to enter the data. Now I have a question related to data entry.Suppose I start entering data for one record and I decide not to fill up all the 4 forms, I simply decide to go back to it later. How can I go to the same record and keep entering the data from where I left?
If I am in Datasheet view, I can easily use the Find option to look for the record. However, I dont seem to be able to understand how I can open the form of that record to enter the remaining data.
I have a database containing 3 tables (for now): Customers Orders Catagories
Now i also have a form with customer information. In that form is a listbox with a query statement, so that should display wich orders are placed by that customer.
SELECT Orders.[Order-ID], Orders.Description, Orders.Date, Orders.Category FROM Orders WHERE Customer=[Customer-ID];
Now this works for the first costumer record being displayed. However when i view the next costumer, the listbox still displays the order information from the first customer.
How can i get the listbox to update itself when a diffirent record is viewed?
I have a Listbox that I want to use to go to a record on a subform. I know that it cant be done with the wizard.
The records that I am looking at don't have an ID so I want to look at both a date field [TrainingDate] and a Time Field [TrainingTime]. I have set the querry up and the list gets populated with the correct information. And I have added the following code to the AfterUpdate Event
I know you can create a find record command button really simply, which when clicked will display the find and replace window.
What i want to do is create a command button that will search a specific field that i specify in a report for the criteria i enter.
i.e i have a customer information form, which contains
AccountNo CompanyName Address Postcode Tel etc
what i want is a button that when clicked brings up an input field that allows the user to type the name of the company into this field, then when either the enter key is pressed or another button on this pop up window the matching record will be displayed or a error window stating that there are no matching records. Can anyone help me with this.
Note: Dates are in "dd/mm/yyyy" format. Also, not all data is in order in the table. It’s not how I would have designed it but that’s what I need to work with!
I would like to run a query that groups by custID & itemcode and also the most recent date for any price change. I would then like the query to display the relating price for the record it pulls out. (EG for custID 'AAA' and item 21, it would display the price of £5 as that is the value for the most recent price as of 01/06/2005) I then want to link the custID & itemcode to another table that has sales in, to check that we are using the most recent price.
Is there a way I can do this via a query or do I need to put some code together?
I have a training database with multiple courses. Certain staff do course1 and thereafter course2. Course1 is only done once and course2 is a refresher done annually. I want the query to find staff that have done course2 but not course1.
