Forms :: Cascading Combo Box To Select Record To Edit

Sep 19, 2013

I am attempting to create an attendance database that needs to be able to be updated if someone calls in sick.

I have created a cascading combo box where you can select a date up to 15 days into the past with the following code in the rowsource for cboDate

Code:
SELECT DISTINCT tblAttendance.dataDate FROM tblAttendance WHERE (((tblAttendance.dataDate)>Date()-15)) ORDER BY tblAttendance.dataDate DESC;

an after update event has been coded to show only employees who have been scheduled for the day

Code:
Private Sub cboDate_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Me.cboAgentName.RowSource = "Select tblAttendance.agentName, tblAttendance.attendance,

[Code]....

So basically what i need to do is be able to use the cascading combo boxes to select the date and employee to go to that specific record so i can update the other fields. Currently when i attempt to do this with my current form, it automatically goes to a new record when i select a date and name and doesn't update the existing record.

Forms :: Document Control - Cascading Combo Select

Jan 16, 2015

I am creating simple db for document control..

DB consist of 3 Tables:
tblCountry
tblState
tblCity

and a Form (frmCity) with cascading combo boxes that allows us to enter new City with existing data.

Combo's are displaying data fine but it don't allow selecting any item.

Shortly, this is what I have done so far:

1. Created cb's: cboContinet, cbo_State and cbo_City

2. Created query's:
a) qryState (added fileds are from tblState- State and Continent)
b) qryCity (fields are from tblCity- City and State)

3. Edit query's: qryState> added criteria for field Continent ([Forms]![FormName]![cboContinet])
I also added criteria in qryCity, field State ([Forms]![FormName]]![cboState])

4. Added VBA on After Update Event:

Private Sub cboDosje_AfterUpdate()
Me.cboGrupa.Requery
Me.cboPredmet.Requery
End Sub

[Code] .....

Macros are enabled in Trust Center and Combo boxes are refreshing fine, but somehow I can't select anything.

Also, I am working with Access 2007 if it matters, I've read something about allowing edits but didn't found how enable them.

Forms :: Select Record To Edit In Form With Subform

Jan 3, 2014

I have created a form (races) with a subform (yachts in a race) to edit data in joined tables. It seems to be working well but I am having difficulty selecting which record to edit in the main form. I can scroll through the records until i get to the correct race but this won't work well when there are a large number of races to choose from.

I can see that I can use linked forms to select a race from a multi form or datasheet and call up my desired form by a double click on the ID field. This should work but isn't really elegant with users scrolling down a long datasheet to select the race record they want to work with. Is there a better way?

Races are uniquely identified by 3 attributes: SeriesDivision, Date & RaceNumber.I have created an index in the Race table for these 3 fields which forces them to be unique.I would love to create an interactive routine which asks users to select from a list for each of these 3 attributes and then returns the form for editing with the appropriate race record selected or even cascading - users select a SeriesDivision can then choose the valid dates for the selected SeriesDivision and can then select the valid raceNumbers for the selected date

Forms :: Edit / Entry Form That Uses Combo Box Lists To Select Different Segments Of 32 Digit Account Numbers

Aug 7, 2015

I have a database I am using to record financial transactions. I have a transaction edit/entry form that uses combo box lists to select the different segments of my 32 digit account numbers. The issue I am running into is that when I enter a value value in the first box/field the form jumps to the very first record.I then can use the navigation buttons to get back to the last record, and all the subsequent boxes/fields work fine without jumping to a different record.

Forms :: Select Record From Combo Box

Nov 5, 2013

I have a form for entering property tax. The form is based on a table called investments. The form contains a combo box to select the appropriate property for data entry to the table. The two fields in the combo box are Property PIN and Property ID. The property ID is a combination of tax year+state+county+PIN. The same property can come up in more than one tax year so there are duplicate PINs but the Property ID is unique and is the key field. My problem is the combo box shows the duplicate PINs with their respective unique Property IDs as separate records but will only select the record for the earliest tax year regardless of which records I select on the combo box.

Forms :: Combo Box To Select Record For Editing?

Jun 13, 2013

I have a form that uses a combo box to select the record to edit which then opens the edit form... I keep getting a type mismatch error. The bound column is a text column and I'm wondering if that is the problem because this works perfectly everywhere else in the database. The primary key is the SKU of the product which is alphanumeric which is why I have it set to text...

Forms :: Form That Allows User To Select A Record In A Combo Box

Jul 3, 2014

I have a form that allows the user to select a record in a combo box. When this selection is made I want a 2nd form to open and give the user a place to enter additional info about that item selected. I have the forms working correctly but now I would really like to add the 2nd form to the first form as a subform but when I try this I get the message"The expressing is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated..." There are no fields on the first form that link directly to the 2nd form - because the combo box in an unbound combo (the selection in the combo box is what the 2nd form opens base on) I tried to add this as a subform with no parent/child info and I get the message stated.

I was hoping to make the 2nd form not visible until the selection was made in the combo box then make it visible for the info to be entered. Would really like it to be on the same form not as a separate form opening.I believe I just found that the reason for the message. It seems not to be a subform problem but is because the selection in the combo box needs to be made BEFORE the form can open. So now the question is - how can I make this a subform and avoid this error when the main form first opens. I will test the visibility and see if not visible until the selection clears this up.

Cascading Combo + New Record Help

Jun 28, 2006

Afternoon,

I'm having a problem with a form used to display table records as well as create a new record entry.

The form has 2 combo boxes and the rest are fields.

Combo1: Artist
Combo2: Gallery

I would like it so that when the form opens and displays the first record it will also populate the two combo's with the correct details for that record. Secondly when I click to create a new record it will populate the first combo with all artists but then the second combo will populate with multiple galleries (I think because that artist might have done work with multiple galleries).

I'm a little stuck so any help would be great at this point!

:)

Select Record/ Or Edit Record

Mar 11, 2007

Hi There,

I have a form 'Players' which has a field called Contact. When adding a new record to the Players form, the user has to select an existing contact or add a new one (they cant just type in a name).

(There is a contacts table)

So, i want a button next to the contacts field.I want it to:

1. If there is already a contact selected on the form, the contacts form open at this contact, so can be edited.

2. If there is no contact selected, the button will take the user to the contacts form, but will display the first record in the contacts table. From here the user can select the contact they want.

This is what i have (code below). With this code, if there is a contact already entered, the contacts form loads with that contact select, which is correct. However, if no contact has been selected, the contacts form opens with a blank record; whereas i want it to open at first record!

Private Sub Command90_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command90_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "frmContacts"

If Me.Contact = " " Then

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName

Else

stLinkCriteria = "[Name]=" & "'" & Me![Contact] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

End If

Exit_Command90_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command90_Click:

Forms :: Cascading Combo Box Setup

Jan 20, 2015

We've got an Access Database that I've edited in the past, I've got the cascading combo boxes set up so that, depending on which employee is selected, different "rate" options appear as work done. If I open the database afresh and select an employee (for example, employee 9 in Image 1 and employee 19 in image 3) the rates given to that employee are correct.

However, if the database remains open, I can't get the rates to update with the selected employee - even if the employee is clicked, rentered, etc.

Image 1: Freshly opened database, - Correct Rates
Image 2: Database remains open, - Incorrect Rates
Image 3: Freshly opened database, - Correct Rate
Image 4: Database remains open, - Incorrect Rates

I've tried to make it requery when clicked... or before the event... or on form click... or anything, but it doesn't want to know.

Forms :: Cascading Combo Box - Loses Value

Mar 21, 2013

I have built several combo boxes in other DB's but haven't had this happen before. I am adapting a template DB to work for me. The form is continuous and I added a field [CategoryID], I want the [ProductID] to filter based on CategoryID choice. Pretty straight forward and it works, but the [ProductID] field will not hold the text value. It's a number field to hold the ID value, and bound column is 1(Select query is ID,ProductName,StandardCost) with ID and StandardCost column widths set to 0cm. I can choose CategoryID, the ProductID combo filters correctly, then when I proceed to the next record, the ProductID goes blank.

Cascading Combo Boxes - Interact And Record Selections Made In New Records Within Destination Table

Sep 12, 2012

I am trying to get a series of combo boxes to interact and record the selections made in new records within a destination table. Here is situation with respect to the tables involved:

1 table lists the names/acronyms of various research facilities and the branch to which they belong (acronym is PK)
1 table lists Financial Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to earlier table)
1 table lists Technical Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to Facility table)
1 table lists program participants and the branch they belong to (Branch in FK to relate to Facility table)

I am trying to create a form that allows me to set the participant and, from this selection, restricts the facility choices in the Facility combo box to those that fall within the branch to which the participant is assigned. I think the next step is pretty obvious too. Once the facility is selected I have combo boxes that would only display those Financial and Technical PoCs assigned to that facility.

I have watched the 4 Data Pig tutorials and I can easily make functional cascading combo boxes as long as they only refer to the look up tables. I generated perfectly functioning cascading combo boxes on a test form. How do I generate combo boxes that will then store the info selected in my destination table? Whenever I try to set a Control Source it disrupts the functioning of the queries.

Forms :: Triple Cascading Combo Boxes?

Jul 24, 2013

I have a form with various input boxes, three of which are combo boxes. These combo boxes need to affect one another. So let's call these cmb1, cmb2 & cmb3.

Hypothetically let's say:

Within cmb1 the list is A, B, C & D

If the user was to choose A, cmb2 would show the options 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc..
If the user was to choose B, cmb2 would show the options 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc..
if the user was to choose C, cmb2 would show the options 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 etc..

(So, it is possible that if the user chooses A from cmb1, cmb2 would show 1 and if the user chooses C from cmb1, cmb2 would also show 1)

Using the example in the brackets above:

If the user chose cmb1 - A then chose cmb2 - 1, cmb3 would then show the options Option1, Option2, Option3 etc..

BUT

If the user chose cmb1 - C then chose cmb2 - 1, cmb3 would then show the options Random1, Random2, Random3 etc..

At the moment I have a table with 3 columns. Within the table is every possible combination of the drop down, i.e:

-A l 1 l Option1 l
-A l 1 l Option2 l
-C l 1 l Random1 l
-C l 1 l Random2 l
Etc...

I have tried to use the example shown on this website but i've had no luck: fontstuff.com/access/acctut10 (If you look at "Example 2", thats what I tried to do)

Forms :: Cascading Combo Box On A Shared Subform

May 30, 2013

I have a subform that I use on two parent forms. The subform has a cascading combo box. The LocationID field gets filtered after CompanyID (named: cboCompanies) is updated. The problem is that I can only get the combo box to work on one form (Contacts_All). When I open the second form (Contacts_Clients), it asks for the Parameter Value.I am entering this into the criteria for the LocationID field:

[Forms]![Contacts_All]![SUBFRMContactsCompanies]![cboCompanies] Or [Forms]![Contacts_Clients]![SUBFRMContactsCompanies]![cboCompanies]

So, the "Or" is not working.Do I need to make a separate subform for each parent form or is there some way to get this working? I already feel as if I am managing way too many forms and need to simplify.

Mar 25, 2013

updating my table when I use cascading combo boxes in my form.What is happening is that my table is being populated by the xxxxID column vice from the xxxxName column that is being used from that specific table.

here is my visual basic code that I am using to determine what the subsequent combo box will display.

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cboPlanktonID_AfterUpdate()
' Set the Family combo box to be limited by the selected Plankton Type
Me.cboFamilyID.RowSource = "SELECT tblFamily.FamilyID, tblFamily.FamilyName FROM tblFamily " & _
" WHERE OrderID = " & Nz(Me.cboPlanktonID) & _
" ORDER BY FamilyName"

[code]...

Example of the Combo box Row Source is: SELECT [tblWaterbody].[WaterbodyID], [tblWaterbody].[WaterbodyName] FROM tblWaterbody;

My Control Source is PlanktonAnalysis.WaterbodyName

When I fill in the form with the data, The Waterbody name is visable for selection (example: I see "Lake Lillinonah" in the cascading combo box, But when I save the record in the PlanktonAnalysis Table I get a number in the WaterbodyName column vice the name of the waterbody

Forms :: Cascading Combo Boxes In A Subform

Jan 28, 2014

i have a main form which allows me to fill in Order Information within which is a subform which allows me to fill in Order Lines.My Order Lines contain the following fields:

Extrusion
Length
Qty
etc. etc.

Elswhere in my database (tblLengths) I have set up a list of possible lengths for each Extrusion and therefore when an order is filled out I want the user to be restricted only to those lengths that are possible with the particular extrusion they have chosen. This list contains the ExtrusionID and LengthID so that I can query the available lengths for a particular Extrusion.Within my subform I have set the record source to point at the tblLengths and criteria on the ExtrusionID to point to [Extrusion]. I've also put a requery against the Extrusion field so that I can force the combobox to refresh its list of results.

My problem is that I am getting unexpected results each time I add an Order line into my form and reading up I see that what I am trying to do is a big no-no.

Forms :: Cascading Combo Boxes Setup

Jun 24, 2014

I am totally new to Visual Basic.I have dependent cascading combo boxes setup. The hierarchy goes:

Segment
Family
Class
Brick

Now, I need the value in the Brick field to create a varying number of other cascading combo boxes. They are the Brick Attributes. The brick attributes are the labels for the combo boxes and the brick attribute values would be the values you can chose from within the combo boxes. Depending on which Brick you chose, there are a varying number of Brick Attributes, and thus a varying number of needed combo boxes to pop up.

Forms :: Stuck With Cascading Combo Boxes

OK, I so I am trying to filter one combbox tbltCatch from tblLocation (which is a sub filter from tblLocationCategory). Thing is, I am trying to select "Catches" filtered from the tblLocationCategory table. Reason being is because the "Catches" are the same the location types (example below). I know the code I am trying to utilize is incorrect and needs to be modified.

Code:
Dim sCatchLocation As String

sCatchLocation = "SELECT [tblCatches].[Catches_ID], [tblCatches].[LocationCategory_ID], [tblCatches].[Catches] " & _
"FROM tblCatches " & _
"WHERE [tblCatches].[LocationCategory_ID] = " & Me.cboLocal.Value

Forms :: How To Create Cascading Combo Boxes

Jun 10, 2015

how to create the cascading combo boxes that I need. For this, I have three tables:

Locations -- All store locations
Products -- Part Number and DESCRIPTION of any type of item that is available for rent
Serial Numbers -- (Unique) Serial number for each individual product, with its Product ID (foreign key) and Location ID (foreign key)

Each location has its own set of products available for rent, each with their own serial number. There may be more than one of the same TYPE of product at a location, but there will never be a repeated serial number.

I would like to have three (cascading) combo boxes. The first would allow the user to select a LOCATION. The second will have a list of all the types of products available at that location (DESCRIPTION). The third should have the list of SERIAL NUMBERS available at that LOCATION for that type of product (DESCRIPTION).
