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...

I have a form that I need to use to add new clients to a table in my database, lets call it tblClients. On this form I have a combo box which, when selected, will drop down with the first and last names of all clients in tblClients, as well as their Client ID. Once you select a client from the drop down menu, it populates all of the fields in the form with that clients info (Client ID, fname, lname, address, phone number, etc. etc.).
I need two other things on this form: one button that will save or modify whatever current record is currently pulled up, and one button that will start the process for entering a new client, so basically it would blank out all of the fields and fill the Client ID field with the current number +1.
As of right now I have the form made and the combo box works, in that I have 3 dummy clients in the tblClients and when I select each client from the combo box it will populate the fields on the form with the info. I'm using some simple VBA on the combo box such as
Me.FirstName = Me.cboBox.Column(1)
and that seems to all work, but the problem is trying to save/modify data to tblClients. The only record in the actual table that gets modified seems to be the first record. For example, if I pull up client with ID #3 and change his address or phone number, what happens when I click to save the changes it takes client ID #3 record, overrides it with client ID #1, and then client ID #3 is the same as client ID #1 except with the old information. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.

I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?

Hi,
I am using the combo box in a form for selecting a report to be printed out. The source is a table with all the report names stored. I would like to prevent users from changing the data and yet they can can click on 1 single report they need. I cannot disable the allowedits in the combo box which will prevent the user from selecting. Is there a solution to this or should I use another method (if any). Thanks for any reply.

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.

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.

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.

Hi,
I am trying to update prices changes for products in my inventory database, and am stumped.
I select a vendor, which then populates the product name from which I can then select the product I want to update. From here, it populates what the current prices are. I then can type the new price into the next box, but what happens is that it doesn't change that Product it changes the 1st record.
Can anyone help!

I have had a form working for ages. It has a main form and eight subforms at the bottom of the form. The main form can be edited in all fields.
I have taken a copy, modified the form added new fields to the main source table and updated the query that feeds the form.
Now (in the copy environment) it won't allow me to edit any of the fields. All of the form control properties are the same as the working model (in the live environment) I can run the query by itself and all is OK
There is obviously some little control that I have inadvertently changed and can't see it.

But how do I have a message box pop up that warns the user he is about to edit an already entered record?
Is there a setting for this in the form design. Or do I need VBA, in which case what form event would I tie the msg box too?

Hi Everyone,
I want to try to restrict the user not always changing the record, so i need a Disable combo box command. And i did try it by using "Name.Enabled = False" after user select the value from the combo box, but the program won't let me do that because of the record is on focus. So what can i do? I only have an idea of after the user select the value from cbo then jump the cursor immediately to the second column, but anybody can tell me how to do that?
Thanks alot!
Regard,
alex

I have database of roughly 15000 records. The records have a unique number and the majority of searches etc work OK. The problem is with a form used to display record details with various sub forms embedded on the form.
Scrolling through displays the correct details.
Trying to use a combo box to determine the record selected does not work correctly.
The combo box is made up of 4 columns of "NAME", "COUNTRY", "ROLE" and "UNIQUE NUMBER"
Typing in the combo box auto fills in the NAME until the correct one is found. If the name is unique it opens on the form correctly. But if the name is not unique it does not always open the correct record.
Is there any way of being able to use the NAME to search through the combo box entries but use their unique number to determine the record selected.
A further problem arises as there are apostrophes in the NAME as well

I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.

I am having difficulty getting the right record to carry forward into a modal subform to edit/update information. The Request_nmbr is an autonumber field. The client can have multiple requests. When I open my subform, I can scroll through the records, but when I launch the "update" button, I don't know how to carry forward the request_nmbr so that I'm updating the right record.
Here's my code:
Private Sub Btn_Exception_SubModal_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_Exception_UpdateModal", acNormal, , acFormAdd
Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![Request_nmbr].value = Me![Request_nmbr].value
Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![clientnmbr].value = Me![clientnmbr].value
End Sub

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.

I'm trying to set a query with 6 fields.
My question is: Is it possible that the query shows me a combo box to select what is connected to this data.
Example fields:
HospCode; HospName; Dept; ModName; SerialN; DatInst
I'm looking to select name of a hospital from "HospName" from a list box. If no, then at least to write the name and the rest I'll get it associated with the name.
Then I need to know if I can put this in a form so the form asks same criteria?

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?
