Forms :: Combo Box Value Based On Another Combo Box
Dec 23, 2014
I have two comboboxes on my form one 'cboMake' and the other 'cboModel'. Both of their values are stored in individual columns ('Make' and 'Model') in the same table 'tblStock'. What I would like to achieve is when I select a value from 'cboMake' that 'cboModel' will filter it's data values to only display Models that are linked to Make i.e. if I select Make Logitech I would like it to only display the following results for Model: 'K120', 'K200', 'G500', 'G502' etc. and not display any of the other values associated with another Make.
I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done 2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237" If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
I'm trying to build a database for daily work. My work in daily basis I have to fill all condition for several items.
We have two areas, with two locations under each area, and three systems under each location and each system contain more than 500 items.
I created all tables and fill by all information:
1-Table 1: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4, Area 5, Area 6. 2-Table 2: Location 1, Location 2. 3-Table 3: System 1, System 2, System 3. 4-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-1 5-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-2
[Code] ....
Last table will be LogBook which will be as follow:
date l time l area l location l system l item l Conition1 l Conition2 l Conition3
My question regarding to the form of the above table:
How can I make a combo box for area field and when I select for example area1 will appear only the locations which under area1 in location field, and when I select location1 for example will appear only the systems under location1 in system field, and when I select system1 one for example will appear only items under system 1.Combo box list will be based on the selection in previous combo box and so on.
I am trying to select a value from one combo box and on the basis of this selection the other combo box show only those values which have link to the value I have selected.
I have a main form that filters data in a subform based on selections via combo box users make on the main form.
So I have the 'department' and 'manager's name'. If someone selects 'Human Resources' from 'department' combo box, then I only want to see the managers that are in the Human Resources departement when I drop down the combo box for 'manager's name'. Currently I'm seeing all the managers and a user can select a manager that is not in human resources and get no data returned. I prefer for him to get a list of those that are in that department only. The source of the combo box is a query.
I have been creating a form, based on only one table. Here I am displaying data as text boxes and subfrom from the same table. At the beginning, I was interested in controlling the display of the data according to the combo box (in this case is the PO number). Now, I would like to add another combox box which is the year (I have a column with the date, and also I have a column that shows only the years digits in my table) Also, I have a subform that display the data from the same table specifics records that I want. It means that I want to pick the year first, and then in the combox box of po number shows only option of that year, and hence the text boxes and subforms change accordingly to the two combox boxes.
I have two combo boxes on the same form bound to a table. I want the contents of the next combo box to change based on the previous combo selection e.g
cboContinent cboCountry Africa Zambia Africa Congo Africa South africa Europe England Europe Holland
If I choose Africa in cboContinent, I want to see only Zambia, South Africa and Congo under cboCountry and if I choose Europe I want to see only England and Holland
I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do: 1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag") 2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool") 3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID. 2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type FROM Order_Type INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).
I would like to set up rules/constraints such that the value selected in combo box A determines the available values in combo box B. For example, "Combo box A" is bound to the [PartnerType] field and "Combo box B" is bound to the [PartnerRole] field. Let's say that the two choices in Combo Box A are "LLC", "LP", and "Corporation". There are 5 possible choices in Combo Box B: "X", "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U". If a user selects "LP" in Combo Box A, I would like Combo Box B to only show choices "X" and "Y". And if a user selects "LLC", only choices "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U".
Similarly, I would like to set this up so that Combo Box B is not initially visible--it becomes visible when a user selects "LLC" or "LP". If a user selected "Corporation", Combo Box B would remain hidden.
It's been a while since I've used Access, and I seem to have forgotten this.
I have a form which allows entry of Borrower's details. I have 2 combo boxes on the form.
They are:
cboBorrName cboLoanSN
Once the user selects the name from the cboBorrName, I want the cboLoanSN to display all loans associated with the Borrower so that they can select the correct loan and add repayment details accordingly.
I have added the following SQL statement as the record source of cboLoanSN
Code:SELECT * from tblBorrower WHERE tblBorrower.fldLoanSN=[Forms]![frmBorrower]![cboBorrName]
I have also added the following code in the After Update event of cboBorrName
Once a supplier name is selected from the combo box i only want it displayed that suppliers products in the subform, subform. (products combo box) I can get a basic query to show these results but can get the combo box to do the same.
I want to make a form on table 4 where both foreign keys are numbers. On the data entry form on this child table, i am trying to link towns and areas. At the front end form, i want a combo or list item showing town_name (table1) and distri_name (table 2).
Once the end user selects the required town and district from available options, i want to retrieve T_D from table 3 through query based on input from both values and save it table 4 in place of T_D along with area_code, which i can retrieve simply from table 5.
On a form I am making, I have two combo boxes. Box 1 has "Title" and Box 2 has "Full Name". In the table associated with FullName, there is a Check Box name "Still Attached".
What I am trying to do when choosing a "Title" in Combo Box 1, I would like only the people with that "Title" and a check in "Still Attached" to be available in the drop down list.
I have tried and I can get combo 2 to filter by title, but not by the "Still Attached" value.
I have a form with a field called "comRpt" listing all the reports available to run on AfterUpdate procedure. I would like to add a command button when clicked the selected report shown in the "comRPT" field runs then it is attached to an emailed. How I can accomplish this?
I am trying to auto populate the text boxes in the form based on drop down from the combo box. As you can see in the form Frm_Input, this works fine for FL, but for some reason it will not populate for Skill, Role, FLM and Location. The table it is linking to is Tbl_Names. Why as I have changed the column source?
I have a text box that displays a name of a law from one table, based on that law name I want to populate a combo box with different options on how to comply with that law that come from a different table. The compliance options I need to pull in are different for each law. Finally I would like to have the selected option saved in the table the laws are coming from.
I have tried using a rowsource query [Form]![form1]![Law] for the combo box of law options but keep getting errors.
My database is using data that is entered by the employees to generate Quotations. There is one important piece of information that will not be entered by the employee. The quotes involve metals which are priced based on market price and weight. I am planning on integrating a data feed with this information, but for now I want to enter it manually in a table. The price depends on two combo boxes one for "Precious or Base Metals", and one for "Metal Name". I want those two values to call the price from a table, and automatically fill in the "Market Price" field in the form.Also once that is in I would like to do my calculations. I am planning on using queries to do these. Is that the correct method?
I am struggling to pull out a report based on the combo box selection. I have NOI database and want to pull out a report for a specific customer that how many NOIs are generated by this customer..
I have a separate table of customer and another table of NCRs and the customer information comes from customer table.
I have tried the below statement but gives me an error message:
code for Macro that pulls the report in click event:
[CustomerName]=[forms]![CustName]![combocust1]
do i need to mention the report as well in some where in report ?
- Form 2 to be locked but its "MaterialRequest" is enabled. - HandledBy to be unlocked if the MaterialRequest meets the "Status" of "frmMaterialRequest" which is "Approved".
I have a table named ColorValues with the following three fields:
- ID - MunsellCode - RGBValue
30 fields from another table called Color_Analysis are linked to the above with one to many relationships (I've already thought of other ways to normalize data, but this is the most efficient, so no need to go into this topic).
Now, I've constructed a form for Color_Analysis and all 30 fields recording color are included as combo boxes bounded on the ID in ColorValues and displaying the MunsellCode for the user. I've also created unbounded text fields next to the combo boxes and want to use them to display the color that the user selected in the ComboBox. The question is how do I do this?
Essentially I need a piece of code that picks up the value of the combo box (this is essentially the ID in ColorValues), looks up that value in the ID column of the ColorValues table and uses the corresponding RGBValue of the same table as the .BackColor for the unbounded text field.
I have a form that i input information into. I have a combo box labeled Addendum, you can select "yes" or "no". What i would like to do is if user selects "yes" then a new record needs to be copied with exact information form original, with the excpetion of a field labeled "tape review #" 1403310000 for example. "-AD" needs to be added to this new record after the review number. Also the field "tape review #" is indexed not to allow duplicate numbers.
