Forms :: Changing Combo Boxes To Option Groups?
Dec 11, 2013
I've created a form using the form wizard and all of the fields show up as combo boxes. I would like to change a couple of them to option groups with radio buttons. Is there anyway to do this without deleting the fields and making the option boxes from scratch? The reason I ask is because when I do the option boxes from scratch with the wizard, it alters the way the information shows up in the datasheet (it's a split form).

Sorry if this is an easy one and I just missing it, but I have a form in an Access2003 database with option groups for ratings for 18 individual tasks ie:
Safety: 1. Satisfactory 2. Marginal 3. Unsatisfactory 4. N/A
The value stored in the table is 1,2,3, or 4 for each one, obviously.
How can I change the stored value in the table to "Sat" "Marginal" "Unsat" etc?
Or, if easier, make the report convert the numerical values to names?

there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.

In the file MembershipV3A2K.zip that was posted at the link listed below...I found a form that had a feature I would like to use or create on my own. I'm not sure what to call this feature. But it looks as if the form has two option groups and a listing of all committee members. In one of the option groups you selected which report you wanted. The second group you selected your output method for the report. The form in the database posted is labeled as frmPreReport but I was not able to get this form to work, so I think various components are either disabled or removed???
I'm not familiar with visual basic and want to know if there is a way to create this feature without visual basic knowledge? If so, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? If visual basic knowledge is required, what would be a good source for this information?

How to create a Web Form and include an option group (5 or 6 radio or check boxes)? I really need the page to layout all of the options (not in a drop down). This will allow users compare answers on the fly looking at the form.

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have several combo "boxes" in one form. The form is based on one table. In the table there are several fields which use a look-up (combo) drop down box to choose from: Type, Description, Manufacturer and Location.
In the form I want a combo box for Type, to bring up specific records in a subform, then I want a combo box for Description to bring up another set of records (within that Type of equipment) and a third combo box for Location to bring up all equipment within that location.
When I have tried to set this up - it changes some of the data in the in the subform - which changes it in the underlying table. If it set the form to open in New Record, then nothing shows up in the drop down box. Is there some If, THen code I could use to make it look first in the Type, then in the Description field, then close those out and look for the set of records that match in the location field?
Does that make sense?
I know how to manipulate in MSAccess templates, etc., but I don't know much about the underlying codes.
Thanks for any help!!!

Hi all, a newbie with novice access skills.
I'm very good with utilizing the access tools however I can only code in vb editor minimally. What I'm looking to do is have the option buttons control two combo boxes. One to search by user name and the other to search by serial #. I've created an option group with two buttons I set the default values in the combo boxes in accordance with the option buttons However, the option buttons aren't doing what they are supposed to do. I've been told I need to tweak the code for the buttons in order to make them control the combo boxes. Does anybody know what I need to do to make this happen? Ultimately the user will be able to click either of the buttons to perform a search through a single combo box.
Thanks to everyone out there for making this possible. Your expert knowledge will help me grow into an expert myself.
Thanks to all in advance! :confused:

Hello Everyone.
I have a form that gets its data from a query.
There is a field in the query called "FinalisedDate" which is a date/time field. I want a button called Current that when pressed it shows all records where the FinalisedDate field is Null which is to be the default of when the form is open.. Another button called "Aged" is pressed it only shows records that have the FinalisedDate field has a value (i.e. not null). I want another button that shows All Records (i.e Current and Aged).
I hope anyone can help. I have searched the forums but did not find a similar problem that I can copy.
Regards

This is a multi-faceted question may the answer to the first may help the second.
I have two option groups each with two options in each.
The first is called Frame 57 and has two options A ( the wizard assigned a value of 1) and B (assigned a value of two).
The second is called frame 58 and has two options C ( the wizard assigned a value of 1) and D (assigned a value of 2).
I have set enable on Frame 58 to No.
My aim:
If I choose A in Frame 57 then I want Frame 58 (with both options) to become enabled.
If I choose B in Frame 57 then I want Frame 58 to remain un-enabled.
When writing the code do I
Put it in the Click event of the FRAME?
and should i refer to the option groups by their name (ie: A or B) or by their assigned value (1 or 2).
This is what I have at the moment
Private Sub Frame57_Click()
If Frame.57 = 1 Then
Frame58.Enabled = True
Else
Frame58.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
This seems to work though when I return close and re-open the form Frame 58 (even if it was chosen and enabled) is now not enabled even though the option is Frame 57 is correct and visible.
Hope this makes sense - any help appreciated

I'm trying to create a form for entering data for new items for a warehouse inventory. So far, I've figured everything out, but now I'm stuck.
I want to create an option group for two separate snippets of information: Whether a product is damaged or not, and whether a product is in numerical order or not.
I have created two bound option groups with option buttons, one for "Damaged?" (Yes or no) and one for "Sequential?" (Yes or no).
When I open the form, however, only the "Damaged?" buttons work. I can click either one, and it changes from yes to no and vice versa. However, the "Sequential?" options do not work. It doesn't matter which option group I try to click first, I cannot select "Yes" or "No" under "Sequential.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Been searching for an answer to this one but still cant quite get it.
I am using an option group to subtract and add percentages on an amount in a text box. This is the code i am using but there is something wrong. My syntax is out.
Me.TechsRate = ((Me.Chargeout.Text - (Me.Option17.OptionValue /100))
I am trying to calculate 5% or 10% or 15% and so on, up to 35%
Thank you in advance

I have a form with 6 option groups, each with 2 option boxes (-1 & 0). They are triple-states and start off in null mode with a validation rule of "Not Null". The idea is to ensure the user has decided something for each option group before being allowed to save the record.
The problem is that each time I load the form, the first box I select, all the others then default to the same option (no longer null).
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

I have 26 different option groups all with numeric values set for YES , NO, and N/A.
I attempted code to have the code read if the frame values were 1 Or 3 for all frames then a text field would read as "Pass" or it would be "Fail" but its not working. How to link all the options groups so that if YES or N/A have been selected then it will generate a PASS but if any of them selected NO it will be a FAIL.

I have a report with 2 option groups, I cannot get both of them to filter the data simataneously, they will each inititally filter the data, but when the opposite group it clicked, the previous filter data does not remain filtered. I have posted the code for the two option groups, I know I'm doing something wrong.
First option group code:
Private Sub Frame43_Click()
Select Case Me.Frame43.VALUE
Case 1
Me.Filter = "allowable_weight Like '263000'"
Me.FilterOn = True
[Code] .....

Hi there
Is there any way to control the "show" criteria in a query from option groups... i.e... a check box for someone to say if they want to view items in the query or not? (But not to affect the actualy query data in any way).
Cheers!

I am trying to run a check that will make the user aware if the request they are adding via the form is likely to be a duplicate. If so I want the option to allow or reject the entry. Alternatively I have seen solutions that just notify on the form is something might be a duplicate, by highlighting a textbox red for example.There will be duplicates across these fields but there are many other options included on the form, as I said this is just an indicataion.
The table is called
"MainAc"
The form is called
"SDC Request Form"
The comparison fields are called:
"First_name" - Text
"Surname" - Text
"Change_Number" - Number
"Date_from" - Date
"Date_to" - Date
Ive been trying the Dcount() function, IIF() function but no joy.I tried to putting the below in the before update event, but it didnt run at all, now Ive put it on the button click acion that duplicates records for me, however it just returns a non duplicate responce regardless.
Dim PreviousRecordID As Long
PreviousRecordID = 0
PreviousRecordID = DLookup("first_name", "MainAc", "first_name<>" & First_Name & _
" AND surname=" & Surname & " AND change_number=" & Change_Number)
[code]...
This was a copy and modify from an example database but I dont entirely understand what each part does.

I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change()
Me.Requery
Me.cboCourseName.Requery
Me.Check178.Requery
End Sub
[code]...

I have tried creating a combo box in a form and as I have gone through the steps, the option to bind each choice that I created in my drop down box for the form is not an option, so how do I make each choice in my drop down box access the report I need?

I have 2 Option buttons that I want to use to control a combo box. If I select Option1 then I want it to pull from one table for the drop-down choices. If I select Option2 I want it to pull from a different table. The Option buttons and combo box are all on the same form.

I have a form with a combobox whose list items are taken from a table of currencies (called tblCurrencies)
Row Source = SELECT [tblCurrencies].[Ccy] FROM tblCurrencies ORDER BY [Ccy];
Problem is, there may come a time when the currency they want to select is not yet part of the tblCurrencies table, and needs to be added. For simplicity, I'd like to have an additional option in the dropdown (perhaps at the bottom) to specify a new currency.So an additional list item (e.g. 'Add New...') which when selected could prompt a subform where the user could specify the new currency (and any other relevant details specific to that currency) which can be programmatically added to tblCurrencies.how do I get that extra option into the list items for the combobox?...

I am building a database to store student assessment information. I have a table with student information, a table with teacher information, and tables which will store the student's scores on a certain assessments.
Q1: I have a field in the assessment table for Teacher ID and Student ID which are linked to their respective tables. What I want to do is create a form for inputting the assessment data but the fields for teacher ID and Student ID to auto-complete or be combo boxes, I don't care which. That is, when a person is entering a student's scores, and go to enter their ID, they won't have to type the whole number out and hope they dont make any mistakes, they will essentially have a list of choices to choose from. Or as they type, the corresponding number will filter down. I already have refferential integrity on so that they can't enter an invalid ID in either field but I want them to have the choice.
Q2: In an assessments table, there is a 1-1 correspondence btw student ID's because only one student can have one score on a particular assessment. However, clearly one teacher can be tagged to several student's assessment scores. Any better way to tag the teacher to multiple student's scores without having fields in the assessment table for teacher ID which is repeated multiple times.

I have a Combo Box bound which gets its values from a table (T_Users).
The Combo Box displays the Users 'Initials' [Column 1], but the Bound Column [Column 2] is that of the Users 'ID' (which is used when a record is edited or a new record added).
What I want to be able to do is when the user clicks the Combo Box, and the drop down list 'drops down' the options, I want them to not only see the 'Initials' but also selected other columns - BUT - when the option is selected I just want the 'Initials' to be displayed in the Combo Box.
Code:
So, Normal > | ABC |
Dropped Down > | ABC |
--------------------------------------------
| ABC (Annabel Carcus, Big Company Ltd.) |
| JB (Joe Bloggs, Medium Company Ltd.) |
| FS (Fred Smith, Little Company Ltd.) |
Select JB, and > | JB |
