Relating to a combo box that shows value from a table (not the table that is the datasource for the form), is it possible to have it append its source table if a value is typed in that doesn't already exist?
Be even better if it that could be done in conjunction with a Yes/No Message box...
In the form of main I creat buttom to open and apped the table of other access file-portable.accdb- to the main table!"
I had a problem before about attachment field appending anj JHB solved that problem in this link.
"I have 1 "main" access file and "Portable".

See that problem and download attachment of that topic.
But I want to append a table with multi select combo box. That combo box field has query from table "list" and i want to append this 2 table (asli & list) to a main database!!!

I have a form setup that has 5 combo boxes where a user will select one item from each combo box. Each combo box is from a differant table. Once this is done I want to be able to append or update the results into a new table I created. My problem is I don't know how to submit the data from the combo boxes to the new table. Can anyone help me with this?
I have an append query that takes an item (once selected) from a listbox and it appends the contact name to a new table. Is there a way I can make an append query thay takes the ContactID and the ContactName and append it.
The listbox box has column 2 Bound (ContactName) soeven though I have written the query to take the ContactID it still only takes whats in the bound column!
How I would go about appending data to a table that has been entered by a user on a form.
My initial idea to tackle this was to create a number of text boxes as a method of user input which would all then transfer to a table but this doesn't have much longevity to it(if the database requires additional columns to be added, etc.)
The setup at the moment is two tables, a main table, and a temporary table(which is where I intend to first store the user input, this is so that the user can view what they have entered and make any necessary changes(undo))
I'm wondering if there are any easier ways to go about this such as, a msgbox appears and asks the user to enter each individual column data for a row. This doesn't sound like the most efficient way but efficiency isn't a priority right now and is something I'll look at later.
I'd like it so that a user can input data into a number of text boxes, a button has an onclick event that will append all entered values to the temporary table, this is then relayed(I'm assuming through requery?) back to the user as a way of checking before really adding it to the main database, and then if they're happy there is another button which is then enabled so they can add it to the main database.
I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.
Iv got a Form (Form1).That has a combo Box (Description)and a Text box (Category).that refers to a Table (tblDescriptionLU)With a text Field (Description) and a Lookup Field (Category) to a Table (tblListOfCategorys)
The Code iv Put in is:
Private Sub Description_AfterUpdate() Category = DLookup("Category", "tblDescriptionLU", "Description=" & Description) End Sub
It returns a Error:
Run-time error '3464': Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
I'm using a lookup table to populated a combo box on my form. I use a provided list of input strings (hundreds) in my combo box and the list is provided in all caps. How can I convert these provided words (strings) to first cap from either the quarry level or form level.
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
I have two combo boxes that contain data from one table.
table has two fields: Name and ID
cboName cboID
I would like both combo boxes to update each other.
Example if start typing in the cboName box it fills in after update I would like the cboID to be updated with the correct value and vise versa if i start typing the ID in the cboID box when selected the cboName should be updated.
example table ID NAME 1 joe 2 jane 3 mark
So if i type in or select 1 in the ID combo box it should put 'joe' in the Name combo box.
Or if i type in or select jane in the NAME combo box it should put '2' in the ID box.
I have read how to cascade combo boxes but that is not what i think i need.
On a form to enter some new client info, I want users to be able to select their UserID from a combo box for future reference to other users (ie; Who made these notes?). For various reasons I want them to be able to add their UserID to the combo list for future selection if its not already on there.
There is a table set up for users, simply called tblUsers, with a single field, UserID. A query from this sorts the list alphabetically, and the combo uses this query to populate its list - qryUserID.
Users can currently select from a list or write their own UserID in the box, however when they write their own ID it doesn't get saved.
I don't need any message boxes or checking, just add it and move on kind of thing. It doesn't need to refresh the list immediately, as the user moves on swiftly once completing 2 more fields.
I have a combo box on my form which loads fields from a table and displays them using
Code: SELECT DISTINCT table_team.team FROM table_team;
I then use
Code: =[qry_showteamforedit]![team]
in the default value for the combobox to show the team which is saved in the current record.This is the qry_showteamforedit:
Code: SELECT table_team.team FROM table_team RIGHT JOIN table_staff_details ON table_team.ID = table_staff_details.team WHERE table_team.ID = table_staff_details.team;
My problem is when I move through the records, if I change the selected value using the combo box it changes the actual value in the table from the one that was selected to the new one. If I was on record 1 and the teamid saved in there was 1 . It would display "team one" but if I changed that to "team two" it would change record one to say "team two" instead of "team one".I have been searching and found that this is because it is bound to the table so need to remove the text from Control Source, which when I do, breaks it, and it doesn't display the saved team.
what I would like it to do is display all the teams, but default to the one saved by using the id saved in the main table, but allow me to change this value. I would also like a second cascading combo box which will display a list of subteams dependent on what main team was selected and again, default to the values saved in the main table. I have managed to get cascading combo boxes working but combining them with my tables and queries is proving difficult. This is how my tables would be ( just showing the relevant fields)
Staff_table ID Name teamID 1 Dave 1 2 Tom 1 3 Matt 2
team_table ID team subteam 1 team1 subteam1 2 team1 subteam2 3 team1 subteam3 4 team2 subteam4
Is it is the subteams that will be unique I would like to save the subteam ID to the teamID field of the staff_table. that way i can retrieve the team and the subteam using the same ID.
I have a combo box containing "ProgramType". If "DDI" is selected from this combo box, I would like it to open up another combo box containing the contents from "tblDDI". Then I would like the selection to be transferred to "ProgramType". Is this possible?
I am trying to use a combo box to control which table a data entry form will write data to. I want to create a form that has a combo box to select from a top level table that I will call "Stores". Once a "Store" is selected from the drop down, the next field on the form will be a data entry field. The data entered in that field will be written to the table selected by the preceding combo box.
So, basically I would have say Wal-Mart, Macy's, Sears, K-Mart and etc, listed in my "Stores" table. Once I select one of the stores from the drop down, I would then enter a "department" name in the data entry field and based on which store I selected from the previous combo box, the data would be written to that stores department table (which each store will have its own department table), e.g., WalMartDepts, MacyDepts, SearsDepts, etc...
I am a novice to Access and in order to get some training in my workplace I need to show how access can be applied to my role.
I have a table of information consisting of 3 fields:
Motor manufacturer Model Attachment (picture of particular car)
I want to have someone able to select the manufacturer and Model from Combo boxes and this will pull up the image associated with this model.
There are more than 1 model for each Motor manufacturer so you may have:
manufacturer Model Ford Fiesta Ford Mondeo VW Beetle VW Golf Fiat 500
You must not be able to select the wrong model for manufacturer, i.e. Ford 500
The images are currently saved onto the table as an attachment, This may be wrong as well, This may be a simple task to do, but hopefully I can get it running smoothly and show this is the right tool for the job.
Am I correct in thinking the only way to have a combo box with different values in each column is to create a table and then bind the combo box to the column you are referring to if you want it to represent a value from another.
For example if I have a combo box with the words January, February etc can that combo box have a corresponding month number value in a separate column (this combo would be derived from a list) or would I need to create a table holding both the month names and numbers and then bind to the name value for selection but use the month number value?
The reason I ask is I wasn't sure if for every type of list I wanted with multiple column values, I would need to create a table.
I am using a form with a combo box (FieldExpenses) that lists from a query row source (SELECT statement). Whether entering a new record or editing an existing record on the form, the selection in the combo box populates the field in the underlying table (TableTransactions) with the row ID (ex: 105), not the desired field (ie: Telephone).
I tried using a split form and the table in the form shows the field correctly. If I open the underlying table separately, the field displays the row ID. It's not working as I wish.
I have two combo boxes containing integers on a form. How can I store the values of these combo boxes in a field of a table separating them by comma or semi colon?
I have a form frmCrisisSupportWorkers with a tab control on the form. On the first tab, Personal Info there is a combo box called cboLocation. It is next to the Town/City.
I have a text box that updates the postcode after the selection is made below it but that is as the post codes are stored in the combo box and I just put the column for the postcode in the control source of the text box.
I can't do that for state as I have it stored in another table and use a numeric identifier to show which state is selected.
I want to have a text box below that auto updates the state once a town is selected but I can't seem to get it working.
I am trying to populate the text boxes in a form with data from a table based on the selection a user has made in a combobox. I am trying to do this through a DLOOKUP in the text boxes Control Source using the following:
Is there a way to append a pivot table to a table or possibly make a query based on a pivot table? I need to get a count of Part Numbers and I need the average price for all these parts. Additionally I want to ignore a count of less than 3.
Also I am having trouble filtering on the count in the pivot table... haha, so I was gonna Query on it later on.
I am rebuilding an application for a client and I have an Access table that I am using as a temporary table. Once the user is done entering information into the temporary table through a form, the user presses an update button that appends the records using an Append Query in Access to an SQL Server Table.
The following error message occurs:
"ODBC -- insert on a linked table 'linked tblname' failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Explicit value must be specified for identity column in table 'linked tblname' when IDENTITY INSERT is set to ON. (#545)
I am using a form, subform combination to record a bill with many details. The bill summary is posted into a tbl_TransactionsMain table in SQL Server using the ADO AddNew method. The PK for the tbl_TransactionsMain is then entered into the temporary table in Access. When the temporary table records are appended into tbl_TransactionDetail the error message occurs.
What is also interesting is while typing out this post I thought to test the error by manually trying to run the query. The query worked like a charm! :confused: When the orginal error occurred off of the form I tried to run the query manually and it failed. I am guessing that this might have something to do with the ODBC timeout.
I think SQL Server/ODBC connection is not liking how I have a set of records in an Access table with foreign key numbers assigned when I am attempting to append the records. I am new to SQL Server and any ideas are most appreciated! :)
I have a fairly simple append query that appends two columns of data to another table - all good. Except, the destination table has a field 'ServiceDate' that I would also like to be completed at the same time with today's date. I presume that this is =Date(), but where do I put it to make this happen?
