Forms :: Check Box Drop Down Multi Value Field

Jan 3, 2015

Trying to use some code to 'Select All' from a 'Check Box Drop Down' Multi Value Field . The table field size is long integer.

When trying to "Select All" the code returns a RTE 3163 "This field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data".

Private Sub cmdSelectAll_Click()
Dim SelVals, i
ReDim SelVals(0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1)
For i = 0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1
SelVals(i) = lkupAssignedTo.Column(1, i)
Next i
lkupAssignedTo.Value = SelVals
End Sub

Not my code, but just something I have found and trying to adapt. Tried changing the field sizes but no luck. Maybe something to do with declaring variables perhaps??

Drop-Down Boxes And Multi-Field Searches

Jan 12, 2015

I am designing a search query that will allow the user to look up a record in a database to view it. I have everything already set up, and most of it working properly.

The user can recall a database entry using 7 different criteria--Type, Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Warehouse, Bin, and Shelf. The Type and Warehouse entries on the database are drop-down values, the other 5 values are text entries.

So far, I have been able to get the look up query to pull up the desired records on the Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Bin, and Shelf criteria using

Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search Form]![Customer] & "*"
.

However, with Type and Warehouse criterion, the two that use drop-down boxes in the database, I have been unsuccessful in being able to call up any records using either the above partial or the more exact:

Code:
=[Forms]![Search Form]![Type]

I did try to change Type to a textbox on the look up query, but that was similarly unsuccessful. On a side note, I must use drop-downs on the Warehouse field since I have another query that concatenates that value with a couple others.

How can I, without delving into VB coding unless absolutely necessary, format the lookup query so that it will read the values of the drop downs?

Multi Drop Down Box Search

Aug 25, 2004

Hey all, new here, question for everyone. I have a fairly large database, I need to make a form that has 3 drop down boxes on it, one will be corresponding to a field in my table called Race, another with Affiliation and the last one with Gender, race will have 7 options, affiliation 20 options and gender 2 options. I need to be able to have a search/query setup so that a user chooses one option from each drop down and have it do a search in my table corresponding to what they choose. I really have no idea howto do this and hoping someone here could help. thanks

Forms :: Populate Field With Drop Down List

Oct 25, 2013

Is there a function that will populate a field with drop down menu based on two criteria?I want the the fields with first and last name to populate with drop down lists based on the employee code I have inputted in the form and job title from a query.

Path: looks at employee code from form > looks at specific job title from query > pulls out all first names in one field and all last names in another field with the same job title in drop down list from query

Employee Code: 100

Returns all employees' first names in first field with same job title:

Prince
Tina
Greg

Returns all employees' last names in second field of form with same job title:

Fey
William
Jones

Here's what the query looks like in datasheet view:

Code:
Location # First Name Last Name Job Title Employee Code
1 John Smith Technician 100
2 Jane Doe Manager 100
2 Greg Jones Engineer 100
1 Prince William Engineer 100
1 Tina Fey Engineer 100

I've been trying to get dlookup to work, but no luck. Here's one of my formula:

Code:
=DLookUp("[Last Name]", "[Employees tb]", _ "[Employee Code] = Form![Employee Code]" & "[Employees tb]", _ " [Manager]"
SELECT EmployeeCodeONLY.[Employee Code] FROM EmployeeCodeOnly;
SELECT [Employees tb].[First Name] FROM [Employees tb] WHERE ((([Employees tb].[First NAME])=[Forms]![Form1]![Employee Code]));

The first is linked to a separate table that only contains employee codes because query I am working with has duplicates due to multiple records.The second is trying to link both the table and query together to populate only first name.how to include the second criteria, job title, to refine it more.

Forms :: Subform With A Multi-value Field

Jul 1, 2013

Every time I mentioned multi-value fields I get the same input, don't use them. So I am trying to replace this field with a junction table. This will have multiple records for each record in the original subform. The only problem is that the original subform is set to continuous view and now I get the error that "you can't view a form as a continuous form if it contains a subform".

Forms :: Multi-valued Field In Subform

Aug 21, 2013

I have a main form with multiple sub-forms (each a separate tab). Having imported the fields from the equivalent tables, none of the multi-value combo box fields on the sub-forms work as they do not show anything. I tried implementing one on the main form (to test) and it worked fine. What am I doing wrong with the sub-forms fields?

Forms :: Job Plan - Create A Multi-value Field

Aug 16, 2014

I have a Job Plan form containing a selector that chooses a system number from another table. I want to (inside the same form) look in a third table that ties system numbers to equipment items (one system has multiple items of equipment) and generate a list box displaying those equipment items. I think I know how to do that bit.

I then want the user to be able to multi-select from the list and somehow to save those selections against the Job Plan number.Is the best way to do this to create a multi-value field in the Job Plan table and store them in there?

From what I read, the best way is to create a join table between Job Plans and Equipment Items, but I'm not quite sure how to connect the selected items in a list box to that - is there some sort of obvious way to do that?

Forms :: Multi-field Primary Key And Subform

May 16, 2014

My Db has a master table with a two-field primary key.

I have a main form, based on a query that primarily grabs data from that table.

The form has a subform based on a table which is the "many" side of a one-to-many relationship with the master table. I'm having a problem adding individual records to the subform.

The subform is linked via Master/child fields to the main form, but only on one of the two fields comprising the PK. When I add a new record in the sub it does not pull the PK data to the FK fields in the sub table and I suspect it is because of only having one of them properly linked.

The subform relates to an annual certification process that we track with vendors. The sub-table is populated each year with the two FK values for all qualifying vendors in one go. If I then need to add a single certification record for a single vendor I want to have a button on the subform that will pull the values from the main form fields, and ask the user for the cert year.

I tried adding a new record in vba via

Code:
Private Sub btnAddSingleRec_Click()
Forms!frmMainForm!subfrmCurrentProcess.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryAddSingleCert"

with the query being an Update query with the following in the Update To line and "Is Null" in criteria:

Forms!Mainform!PKField1
Forms!Mainform!PKField2
[Enter Cert Year]

This doesn't throw an error, but the Access warnings say I'm updating 0 Rows.

Forms :: Multi Field Filter On A Form?

Mar 16, 2015

I have a filter on a form : There is a text box (txtSearchP) where the user will enter their search term then click button to apply the filter:

Private Sub cmdSearchP_Click()
' Filter by Programme Description
Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub

This works fine but actually I want to search two fields for the text entered in txtSearchP [Programme_Desc] OR [Programme]

I've tried this but it doesn't work:

Private Sub cmdSearchP_Click()
' Filter by Programme Code and Description
Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*" OR [Programme] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub

I know I could give the users two text boxes and two Buttons one for each and this would work but I don't want the form to be cluttered.

Forms :: Multi-Line Entries In Field Into Listbox?

Aug 26, 2013

I have a form where a user can select from a listbox (pulled from a database) and "Add product" - it then goes into a Textbox, each taking a new line when "Add product" button pressed. Then when they press "Add Customer" those details along with other entered details gets stored in my Customer Database..

The textbox store multi-line entries in the "ProductName" field heading in database.

Is there anyway i can use a List instead of the textbox? Adding individual entries to one certain customer? I have an EDIT facility aswell so would be easier to have a "Remove Product" button instead of manually backspacing a whole product entry from another textbox (containing all products, on new lines).

Forms :: Create A Multi-field Search Box That Goes To Record In A Form

Jul 7, 2014

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

Forms :: Hiding Columns On Subform Based On Multi-Value Lookup Field

Aug 7, 2013

I want to use VBA to hide columns in a subform based on what is checked in a multi value look up field.

I am creating this DB for use with sharepoint as a web database, which is why I am using the lookup field to begin with. There will be a client DB to use with some VBA code

So what I have is a lookup field with tests "Test 1, Test 2, etc" on form sample.

There is a subform called results, and I want to hide certain columns based on what tests are performed.

I tried using an If Then statement (code is being run on subform load)

If Me.Parent.fieldTest = "Test 1" Then
Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = False
Else Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = True

That is basically the code I was trying to use. I am getting an error 13, which I assume is because fieldTest can not = something since it is a multi value look up field.

Forms :: Event To Check Field Content?

May 11, 2014

I have a form with a number of fields and sections which change visibility based on the data entered in other fields,

The fields have an "on update" event to check the content of the field and make the appropriate changes,

I've changed this form to be able to edit records instead of "Data Entry" so now I need the checks to occur when the record changes as well as when data is entered,

How best can I achieve this without simply duplicating the code (which seems like a bad idea) into the "On Current" event?
