Form Asks For Query Criteria On Loading (listbox Problem)
Feb 1, 2006
I have a listbox that uses a query to reference a value in the current form. The problem is for some reason Access is trying to fill this listbox before even showing the form, so I get prompted to manually enter the query criteria when it should be picking it up from the form.
This is bizarre because it's only just started doing it. I've removed the listbox and created it again, but no help. I have listboxes such as this all over the place, but this particular one has just started playing up! Why?

Hi all,
I have a query that is basically loading values from a open form.
Im using the format of Product: Form!form1!products to assign the value of products to product in my query... Now all this works with straight text, however this technique does not appear to work with dates or yes no check boxes. I have used the builder but still wont work with dates. any ideas? thanks

Hi there. I have a problem with queries that i am creating on the fly with access. My setup is this:
A table called Order which has various fields including a field called Date Taken. The format of this is Date/Time with the format d/m/yyyy.
A form called frmMultiSelect which has a listbox called lstdates and a command button called cmdOpenQuery.
in lstdates the row source is: SELECT DISTINCT Order.[Date Taken] FROM [Order] UNION select "......ALL......" from [Order];
And in the button onClick event i have the following code (adapted from a web source):
Private Sub cmdOpenQuery_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenQuery_Click
Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim qdef As DAO.QueryDef
Dim i As Integer
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strWhere As String
Dim strIN As String
Dim flgSelectAll As Boolean
Dim varItem As Variant
Set MyDB = CurrentDb()
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [Order]"
'Build the IN string by looping through the listbox
For i = 0 To lstDates.ListCount - 1
If lstDates.Selected(i) Then
If lstDates.Column(0, i) = "......ALL......" Then
flgSelectAll = True
End If
strIN = strIN & "#" & lstDates.Column(0, i) & "#,"
End If
Next i
'Create the WHERE string, and strip off the last comma of the IN string
strWhere = " WHERE [Date Taken]=" & Left(strIN, Len(strIN) - 1)
'If "All" was selected in the listbox, don't add the WHERE condition
If Not flgSelectAll Then
strSQL = strSQL & strWhere
End If
MyDB.QueryDefs.Delete "qryCompanyCounties"
Set qdef = MyDB.CreateQueryDef("qryCompanyCounties", strSQL)
'Open the query, built using the IN clause to set the criteria
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryCompanyCounties", acViewNormal
'Clear listbox selection after running query
For Each varItem In Me.lstDates.ItemsSelected
Me.lstDates.Selected(varItem) = False
Next varItem
Exit_cmdOpenQuery_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdOpenQuery_Click:
If Err.Number = 5 Then
MsgBox "You must make a selection(s) from the list", , "Selection Required !"
Resume Exit_cmdOpenQuery_Click
Else
'Write out the error and exit the sub
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdOpenQuery_Click
End If
End Sub
When i open the form and look at the list box the dates are there along with the ......ALL...... however the dates whose day is less than 10 are displayed with the leading 0 e.g 04/12/2005.
When i click the run query command button on one of these dates the query is opened blank. the sql code output is:
SELECT *
FROM [Order]
WHERE [Date Taken]=#04/12/2005#;
If it was changed to 4/12/2005 it works but i dont know why access is putting in this leading 0.
Please help me!! I can send the database if needed
Thanks very much

Is it possible to create a query that asks for multi entries in one column .....
For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....

I have a search form that uses several comboboxes, textboxes and checkboxes that are used as criteria in a query. You enter in the relevant information, hit search and a report opens based on the filtered query.
What I would like to do is change one of these combo boxes to a listbox and use the multiple selection as the query criteria. I know it's not as simple as just putting the listbox as a criteria in the query, and I've also tried many different variations on the varItem and strWhere code.

Hi, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. I've searched the forum to see if there are any existing threads that might help me, but I've not found anything that does...
(I think this thread ( http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=93444&highlight=Copying+data )may be trying to achieve something similar to me, but I'm a beginner and don't really understand it)
I shall stop waffling! I'm not entirely sure that what I'm trying to achieve is possible, I expect it probably is!
Right, I have a form (frmGroupRegister, which contains exactly the same fields as the table it comes from, tblGroupRegister), which consists of three things:
-GroupDate - The date a group took place on. It is my primary key, as no more than one group occurs on a specific date.
-ParentList (A listbox which contains a query showing the ID number, forename and surname of everyone in a table, tblParentDetails)
-ParentsAttending (A blank listbox)
I would like to place buttons in between the ParentList and ParentsAttending, which would allow users to conduct a 'register' of attendance by copying individual/multiple details from ParentList into ParentsAttending (much like you get when choosing which fields to include in a form when using a wizard for example). I would also like them to be able to remove people from ParentsAttending by using a button in case of accidentally adding the wrong person into the ParentsAttending box.
I'm aware that another, probably simpler way of achieving this would be to use a tick-box system, but I feel that visually, the first method would both look better and demonstrate who is present more clearly.
Any help would be much appreciated, but my Access skills are quite basic and things will probably need to be spelled out for me.
I'm using Access 2000 and Windows XP.
Thanks for your help,
Alice :)

I have a form which contains a listbox. It is a multi-select listbox. And I have a button on the form which runs a report. But I want the report to only show the selected records from the listbox. The report gets its records from an underlying query. But how do I make the selected records on the listbox become the query criteria?

Our Access database reports work fine everywhere but on one Windows 2000 computer, and on this computer, only reports have a problem.
Normally, when a report (with currency values) is run, the underlying query asks for "Job Number", then "Part Number", then it runs the report. On this one computer, though, it also asks for "Format", as if the query is lacking something, whereupon the user hits <Enter> (for lack of knowing what to do), and the report appears. In this report, though, all currency values have "Error" in them instead of the numbers. All other computers (W2k, NT, XP) run this stuff fine.
What might be missing/messed up/screwy in this one computer?

I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.

Hi all,
I have listbox based on a query and a textbox. When the user keys any value into the searchbox, the results of the query filter based on the value using a 'LIKE' query. I have been using this successfully to filter information based on either the first name or surname of clients.
I decided to add searching by full name. I built a simple expression in my query for strName -
strName: [FirstName] & " " & [Surname]
When I open the query, this displays the desired result - but when it is opened it also now prompts me for a 'strName' value.
Can anyone tell me why this is - and what I can do stop it prompting - as when the form is opened it asks me for this, and whenever a value is typed into the text box it requeries - also calling this dialogue.
Thanks
Robert

Hi all,
I encountered some weird symptons with my Access forms. I am using the form to display images(done by setting the OnCurrent and After Update property).
When my PC is just powered on, and i try to load say form "ENGLISH". Form "ENGLISH" will appear, but the focus will switch in between form ENGLISH and the MS ACCESS program window. This action will onli settle down after abt 10 secs.
When the ENGLISH form is loaded, i will attempt to switch from one record to another, but the same thing occurs again. IT will load/refresh for abt 10seconds, with the focus toggling btwn ENGLISH FORM n MS Access.. IN addition, it opens a second copy of FORM "ENGLISH" in the background as can be seen on my taskbar. When i close my 1st form ENGLISH and i attempt to close the 2nd FORM tat is appearing on the taskbar, there will be an error msg, English : MSACCESS.EXE-Application Error, Instruction at....(refer to the attached jpeg file for detailed error location)
Y is it tat this weird behaviour onli applies to the forms tat are used to display images but not those normal forms tat contains of purely text?
The entire behaviour will be eliminated after i close MS access, and reload the DB abt twice.....

Hello All
I have a list box that displays the names of customers who are allowed to hire DVDs.
I would like to highlight a customer and show all the relevant customer data on a separate form, not have the list box on the same form that displays the customer's data.

Hi.
I am running a form on top of a query with around 1500 records in it. The query mostly uses tables that are joined with referential integrity.
The form has buttons and conditional formatting.
It was fine until today, when suddenly the form has stopped loading properly. It looks all fragmented on the screen and I have to scroll down and scroll back up again for it to look right.
I have searched everywhere to find out what is causing this and how it can be fixed, but no luck yet. Can you help?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I've a form with an image on each page which is linked (not embedded) to filenames from another table. When moving through the forms the time it takes to import the picture is relatively slow, is there any method or hack I could use to speed this up?
The code I'm using at the moment:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim Picture As String
On Error GoTo PictureError
Picture = Me.Clipping_UNC & Me.Clipping_File_Name
Forms!REPORT_Coverage_Clippings![Image].Picture = Picture
PictureError:
If Err.Number = 2220 Then
Forms!REPORT_Coverage_Clippings![Image].Picture = "m:setupimage.jpg"
Else
End If
End Sub

I have a report that summarizes the record content that is contained within a form (one report line per form record). If the user wishes to view a specific record on the form, he clicks on the report control that contains a numeric value that identifies the record on the form. I can get that to work with the following code:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "AdmissionForm", acNormal, , "[Admission Number] = " & Me.Text0
where Admission Number is a control on the form and Text0 is the control on the report containing the admission number requested i.e. if the report control Text0 = 10, the form would open with the current record in which admission number = 10.
Problem is though, the form opens as "filtered" with only the one requested record (i.e. record number 1 of 1). What I would like is the unfiltered form to be opened with the requested Admission Number as the current record. I have tried DoCmd.GoToRecord but can't get it to work.

I have a RTE 94 happening due to a piece of code running on a subform current-event which looks at a text box on the parent form. I understand this is due to the order of loading of the forms initially and all works fine when moving to other records once all are opened. How can I overcome this happening on first opening?
I am thinking I need to set a counter on the subform on load event to say 1, then when the subform current-event fires add some code so if the counter is 1, then do nothing, if 0 then run the code. When the mainform opens reset the counter to 0, then requery the subform. The form will now see the counter is set to 0 for the rest of the time, so will then always run the code.
Not sure how to go about setting out the code as I guess there needs to be some form of Public variable involved?

Hi All,
I am new to Access and looking for some help.
I have a query, which reads the combo box value and loads the result in Text box. It works fine when I load the Form.
Now here is the problem… If I select another values from combo box the query result remains the same (in text box). How do I make it work dynamically?
So when I select new value in combo box, the resulting query gets updated in textbox.
Thanks

I have a separate form in which I want to use as a loading screen for my users while the query loads on the other form. Now I can do this with text easy but not with a .gif..I have the loading form to
Code:
Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Loading Screen", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acNormal
But it just stops the .gif and then runs the query before opening Form1.

I try to open a web page with a form in access 2007. During the loading of the page it shows me 2 security error messages.
I tried to change the properties in Activex and especially the Silent property from No to Yes but this is not possible. In the next restart of the form restores the original settings.
When i open the same page with Internet Explorer it doesn't show any error. I have attached the database example to see exactly what happening.

I'm having trouble getting my form to be "blank" except for the labels upon loading. I've tried putting in some code "on load" but it doesn't clear everything. I haven't had this trouble on some of my other db's, the only difference here is it's a switchboard. I don't know if that matters.

I have a pop-up modal form which is loaded (like 99% of my other forms) by a button on another form.
Unlike all of my other forms, however, it doesn't load its background properly. If I drag the window off screen and back or shrink and resize, it does look right, so I guess maybe it requires a refresh?Obviously, I don't want to rebuild the form from scratch, so maybe some vba which refreshes the screen?
