I used the Contacts demo on Access 2010, made all the elements Client from web based and then exported to a new database. It worked for the most part but now I am trying to put in a 4 box search and am getting stuck on which form to link it to and also where to put these boxes.
View Repliesi have a search form (see atachment1) with 2 combo boxes.
i have a pruduct form that runs on this query:
Code: SELECT * FROM tblSpeler WHERE (((tblSpeler.merk)=forms!frmZoeken!zoektekst1) And ((tblSpeler.type) Like forms!frmZoeken!zoektekst2));
if i start the the product form, it asks me for the make, and then for the player ŧ it finds the right player in the form.
but via my search form it wonīt work. it only opens the product form and no records are shown.
so: in the search form, when i select a "make", and then the "type", and then press search. i want it to show the right record in the product form.
+
when i select a make (eg "apple"), i want the type combo box to exclude all the types that are not from apple (eg only: ipod mini, ipod 20gb. right now itīs like in atachment2.
i know this is a common question, been trying to figure it out with a eg database, but i canīt get it done. all help is welcome
thanks,

I stumbled on to a Dynamic Multi Search form on this site and have been tailoring it to my organization's directory of contacts. Everything was going good until I was asked to include a search by groups to which each individual may belong. The data in the table is contained in Yes/No check boxes for around 30 different groups. I am hoping to add a combo box to the Dynamic Search as a means to pull up individuals in any 1 category. Below are two attempts at what I thought might work, however, neither performs any filtering.
Code:
Private Sub Groupbox_Change()
Dim db As Database
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryGroup")
[code]....
I'm using this search form.I have never had issues with it until today. When I type the letter "i" as the first letter in the 'Search For' box, I get the following error:"Microsoft Office Access can't move the focus to the control SearchResults"..Also, when I type "i", it shows up in the box as "I" and is the only letter that does this.

I need to make form for all fields and button search once I click on it will open a report depending on a fields i selected.
I think that I have to use VBA
This is what the search box must do:
- Searches 3 fields (StudentID, FirstName, LastName) and jumps to the relevant record.
The closer to the search box in the navigation bar below, the better, so this is what I would really like too.
- A repeat click would take me to the next result/record (if any) with the same criteria
- Instant search as soon as I start typing
I have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.

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.

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].

How do I make a third combobox that uses the filtered values of the second combobox to filter the third combobox.
As a user types, combo boxes have a "live update" function that fills in the rest of the box based on the row source of the combo box. Can a user can use the arrow keys to navigate through the current options based on what they have currently typed?
I'm thinking of something like when you are typing something into an internet search engine, multiple content options appear below and you can either continue typing--thus narrowing the result--or use the arrow keys or mouse to select one of the content options that have appeared.Is there any function similar to this in Access?
I have a database and a form that is based off of a simple table. The table has NO look ups and all of the formatting is text. The form is continuous and simply displays these fields. (Kind of like a company roster with name and department). I have two combo boxes at the top of this form in the header with the intent of filtering the form records by department and employee type (lets say A or B).
I have tried every way I know how to get these records to filter and they will not filter correctly. Utilizing methods I have used in multiple other databases, I set the two comboboxes to cascade based on a query in the recordsource. The vba I'm using in the after event of each combo is ....
Me.Filter = "[Brand] = '" & Me.cbobrand & "'"
Me.FilterOn - True
'Brand is the "department" and the other identical code is for Personel_Type
This filters the records but independently. So, cbobox1 filters the records to show all Brand 1. When cbobox2 selection is made it shows all the Personel_Type of the selection however the first filter is already disregarded. (i.e. When cbobox2 selection is made, it contains both brands instead of the one I've just selected and filtered in cbobox1. )
Outside of making two queries to account for each possible filter, I have tried setting a filter on the filterON, I have tried a SQL based VBA code, I have tried making two forms and attempting to set the filter on open but either way, nothing keeps the first filter selected (or the FilterON, or both SQL filters, etc). The ONLY way I have found to get it to filter both is with the filter function in Access, which is not useful as my users will not have access to the menu bars.
I have this EXACT same setup in another database and it works fine with 3 cbo boxes with an after even to set a filter for the recordsource for all three.
I get a bizarre situation while I am using MS Access 2010 to select values with Combo Boxes on a form, i.e.:
* After I select one or more values from the drop-down list of a Combo Box, there is no response when clicking OK button using the mouse. It is stalled. I need to do the process again and then the mouse-click on OK button could work: click anywhere outside of the combo box, re-select the values, click OK Button, and done.
* However, I can always use Enter key (on the keyboard) upon OK button to complete the selection.
* The values in the drop-down list of the Combo Box were entered manually.
What is wrong with the combo boxes on the form? Why do I need to do twice to complete the selection using mouse-click? Why the keyboard-click ('Enter') can be always OK but not for the mouse-click?
I have created a simple database, with 2 x tables. The first is a 'Week Ending' table, with a dateid key and Week Ending field. I have created several week-ending dates in order for a user to input details of work done the previous week. The second table contains the details of the work.
I have a one to many relationship between the dateid in the first table, and a dateid of the work details table.
I created a query based on the work details table, and created a subform from that. In a main form I linked a combo box to allow a user to select a date and the relevant work details appear in the subform. However the Week Ending field only shows one date, not a list of the dates I created.
I'd like to search a combo box on a subform for a string containing a (or multiple) '?' on click of a command button. The point of this is to inhibit the submission of a record with ????? as a field value (in a combo box), however it is temporarily allowed before submission of the form.
I tried this on the command button and it didn't work:
If Me!Subform.Combobox.SelText = "?" Then
MsgBox("Error")
End If
I think I am referencing the combo box on the subform incorrectly..
As an example lets say I have a table listing some cars:
Car Make Car Model
Ford Fiesta
Ford Focus
Ford GT
Mercades C Class
Mercades E Class
Mercades A Class
I am making a form with two combo drop downs with the ability to select car make or model.
Car Model is Unique so if the car model is entered, I will force the car Make into the other combo box
however, If i select "Mercades" for example in the car make, I would like the combo box of Car model to only be filled with the possible models that Mercades make.
Is this possible? (to search for the values available in Car Model based on the value entered in Car Make?)
The idea is populate the 2 Comboboxes and year and after that query something like:
Code:
SELECT FileEntryNo, GroupCode, SubGrpName, SubGrpNo, FileNo, GroupName, Subject, NameTo, NameFrom, ConnectedFile, DocumentDate, Month,
Spelmonth, Year, Reference
FROM dbo.Files
WHERE (GroupCode LIKE 'XXX') AND (SubGrpName LIKE 'YYY') AND (Year = ZZZ)
So after the query is executed the results will be available on a third Combobox that after selecting a record will show the detail on the fields.
I have built a database that is fed from tables provided from outside computer systems, so the architecture isn't exactly how I would design it.
I am trying to use a combo box on a form to quickly jump to a specific department. I have about 130 personnel that are assigned to 10 different departments. I have to use a subform to update the position info vs. the personal info.
The combo box works, but I can't get it to display each department once. It shows the department 130 times for each employee instead of 10 unique departments.
I have a combobox on a form that lets the user select a business name which then populates the rest of the fields in the form appropriately. But when it does this it makes it so that the seach function at the bottom of the screen no longer works, as it only has the selected record as an option. So before selecting a name from the drop down list at the bottom of the screen is says "Record: 1 of 5" but after selecting the name it become "Record: 1 of 1." Is there anyway to still allow the built-in search function to work alongside using a combobox?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS, I'M TOTALLY CRACKING UP TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT
I recently created a database to be used to store incoming invoices. We have 4 suppliers which supply the same material and wanted each supplier to have its own database.
I began by making a database which included all the key tables, forms, queries and functions I would need to then save 4 copies, one for each supplier. This just meant I would not have to repeat the process for each individual supplier.
The problem is all my data is external and upon importing it into the database it has made the search function (combo box) not return results.
I believe this is because:
1) The form was created before the records existed
2) The records were imported from an external source and not created using the form.
However, the way I have designed the form is so I can see all relevant information linked with a specific invoice. This aids in gathering information quickly about an invoice but also so I can input credit note and invoice query information linked to a specific invoice on the same page.
Is there anyway to remedy this?
Or use a similar search function that returns records in my form "Main View"
The last thing I want to do is have to create the form again, although I don't think this will work either as reason 2) states.
I would like to have 5 combo boxes from which users can choose fields to search, e.g.
cbo1 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
cbo2 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
cbo3 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
cbo4 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
cbo5 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
criteria are stored in txtbox1, txtbox 2 etc. so the search string could be
WHERE cbo1 = txtbox1 AND cbo2 = txtbox2 etc.
If the user doesn't choose anything for a combo, the search should ignore that field.
I have added a combobox to one of the forms in my customer database using the "find a record in my form based on a value in my combobox" section of the combobox wizard.I have a number of columns in the combobox (the primary key is the bound value, and I have unbound columns for first name, surname etc).
I sorted the records in the combobox by column 3 (surname) so I can scroll through the list and choose surname instead of having to memorise customer numbers. Now I have more than 1500 records (with more on the way), scrolling through takes ages, and I was wondering if there is a way to adapt the combobox so I can (for example) type the first letter of a surname into the box and be taken to surnames beginning with that letter, whilst retaining the primary key as my bound column?
My initial thought was to base the combobox values on a query, and make the query prompt for a starting letter (or string of letters) each time it runs, so it only displays the query results in the list, but I was wondering if there is a neater way to do it?
I have created a combo box which lists companys, when i click on a certain company it brings all records for that company but underneath the last record it shows all the other records on the form.
How do i get it to only show the records for that company only.
Hello,
I have been trying to produce a front end for a multi criteria search. I have used one of the sample databases from the site and amended the code as necessary, but obviously not correctly. I can't get it to show me the records based on my search criteria.
I would be grateful if somebody could have a look and let me know what I've done wrong (cut down DB attached). If I can crack this I want to do another multicriteria search for other parameters.
One other question - is it possible to take those filtered records and dump them into a report? For example, say I select one parameter and want tpo print all records associated with that parameter?
Thanks
