Forms :: Default Display Record From Filtered List Box
Apr 17, 2014
I have a form which displays records based on a selection from a list box on the form.
The default record displayed when I load the form is record 1 from the table, this is not an issue when I initially load the form but I also have options to filter the records displayed in the list box using various SQL statements, depending on the options selected.
However, when I apply one ofthese filters to the list box the default record displayed on the form still defaults to the first record in the table, which may not be included in the filtered list box.
Is there a way I can default to the first record listed in the list box rather than the first record in the table.
I'm trying to make a filtered search form using "*" as a wildcard default value in combo boxes, this works for all the text fields except for the account number field (Numeric primary key). After quite a bit of reading up and searching, I tried using the following as the row source;
SELECT customers.ACCOUNT_NO, customers.CUSTOMER FROM customers; UNION SELECT "*", "All" From Customers;
I have three linked tables [Regulator], [RuleBook] and [Rules] (each has a corresponding form for data entry).
In the "Rules" form, when you select name of the regulator, the rule books dropdown down is filtered to show only the rulebooks for that regulator. the code I use is:
Private Sub Regulator_Change() Me.[Rule Book].RowSource = "SELECT [ID],[Rule Book],[Short Code],[Regulator],[RegName],[Short Form],[Active] FROM" & _ " [RuleBook] WHERE Regulator = " & _ Me.Regulator Me.[ShortReg] = Me.Regulator.Column(3) End Sub
Basically, if I select the FSA as the regulator, The Rule Books drop down is filtered to only show the FSA Rule Books. If I pick OFT, I get the OFT list etc. This all works fine.
In the [RuleBook] table, each entry has a yes/no tick box called "Active".
The reason for this being that the regulators change their rule books quite regularly, but from an audit perspective, I can't delete or overwrite the old ones once they are no longer valid.
What I want to do, is further filter the rule book list to those where Active=True so that when I select FSA, I can only choose from their current rule books and not the ones that are no longer relevant.
I've created a form with two textboxes and a listbox. What I want to do is to show in the listbox the registers filtered by the 2 textboxes. But I would like that the listbox refreshes while typping in the textboxes.It was no problem to do filtering with only one textbox. The rowsource of the listbox is a query in which I set in the criteria Like [Forms]![Form1]![Textbox1].[Text] & "*"Then I write the code for the change event of the Textbox1:
Private Sub Textbox1_Change() Listbox1.Requery End Sub
With this I have no problem. The problem is when using the 2 textboxes. I write the same in the criteria, Like [Forms]![Form1]![Textbox2].[Text] & "*", on another field but it doesn't work. I also write the code for the second textbox:
Private Sub Textbox2_Change() Listbox1.Requery End Sub
The listbox doesn't filter with both textboxes. When you type in one of them, the listbox filters from it, but when you type in the other textbox, the listbox shows the whole table filtered with the characters of the second textbox.
I have a table with a list of Students. While the academic year is in progress those students are in an "Active" status. Once the year is finished those students are moved into (hopefully) a "Passed" status or some other status that is not considered "Active".
Throughout the rest of the database I have many forms that refer to the Student Listing. As an example we have a Test so we select the Student performing the test using a Drop Down List and go from there.
I have set search criteria to the Drop Down List via the Combo Box's Query to only display active students and it works fine during the Academic Year. However if I have to review a test from a previous year then the Student Drop Down List no longer displays the name but their ID# (Primary Key) because the Student's status has now changed and no longer meets the query criteria.
Is there a way to use the Filter/Search Criteria to chose from a listing of Active Students but once selected it will display the Student name regardless of their status?
I have a table with a huge master list (some hundred thousand) of unique bar code tags, which either have 8 or 12 digits. (Valid characters are "012 345 678 9ACEFHJKLMNPRYXW"). I created a form, which is automatically looking up valid records as the string is entered position by position from left to right. This is working fine and sufficient in 99% of the cases.
Sometimes characters are not readable on the original document, so I need a tool/form, were I can enter only the readable positions of the code and the tag list is then filtered accordingly. For that, I created a separate form with 12 text boxes for each possible position of the bar code and a listbox. This list box should be filtered as the readable characters are entered in their respective positions/textbox.
I'm constructing a database to record appointments. I want my users to input their appointments on one half of a form (I can manage that bit) but on the other half I want them to be able to see a list of the appointments they already have booked that day (with any patient) or what the patients already have booked that day (with themselves and any other therapists).
The appointment fields they will need to see are:
start time end time patient/therapist (depending on if they are viewing their own or the chosen patients' appointments type of appointment (physiotherapy etc) location
The date won't need to be seen but will dictate which day's appointments are listed.
At it's simplest I could get away with a list of the day's appointments for the patient and date the therapist has typed into the form to start the record.
Ideally I'd like them to be able to choose whether to see a list of the patient's appointments for that day or their own. If there's room I would display both.
Here's the final, 'moon-on-a-stick' bit... it would be great if I could show the appointments in time slots rather than just as a list. From what I can tell that's quite tricky to pull off but i thought I would ask anyway...
At the moment I don't even know what keywords to look up - is this 'embedding a report in a form' or 'inserting a filtered list' and so on.
I have a drop-down list that when a person's first name is selected then it will fill in the person's middle and last name. Is it possible to use a name that is frequently used as the default so that it is always filled in on the form? More specifically, how will it work so that the other fields (middle name and last name) will also be filled in with the default first name? Or is this not possible to do?
I have a table which contains a number of records, each with a load of different columns. However, the new way of doing H&S splits Risk Assessments into Short and Long COSHH forms. Each experiment only has one Short form, but can have from 0-20 (or more Long). I need a way of adding a box to the form that will return all the associated Long forms for that particular record. I have tried using List Boxes and Combo boxes as well as creating a separate table for the Long Forms, but it isn't doing what I had envisioned.
List boxes appear to do what I want, however they just dump all of the results from the selected columns into the table. I only want the data for the specific record in question. For example, my first record has 6 Long forms, but a list box basically just pusts a snapshot of the table in there rather than the specific results.
All the Short and Long Forms have to be hyperlinked to the associated documents. I have successfully done this for the Short.
I have a form that contains a pretty large list of items and several columns and the list can be sorted by each of these columns. When a user double-clicks on a particular item, another form pops up that lets the user view/modify the item. The problem I'm having is that I still want to be able to use the navigation buttons in that second form, but right now its just saying 1 of 1 (Filtered).
The way I'm applying the sorting is by updating the Rowsource field of the list with an "Order By" statement
Ok access noob here and a first post as well...I have to filter a table that has children and teachers.I made a form with a combo box of teacher names then filteredon the teacher name.in the subform I have to create a matrix of the children thatare assigned to that teacher.it would be something like thisteacher date child name start endthe teacher and child name are in tblmainthe date start and end values have to be in tbldata1so the beginning they want to choose a teacher and a dateso I shifted and put the teacher in a combo box and tied it to nothingbut the subformso combo box teacher and field datelinks to subform are teacher;datecombo box(teacher name)==> Ms. Eve text box(date)==> 01/01/06but they want a filtered list on teacher so the subform would have to beteacher date child name start endMs. Eve 01/01/06 mary lamb Ms. Eve 01/01/06 billy bullMs. Eve 01/01/06 bob jonesthen they could put in start and end for each childI don't see how I can get the child names filtered thru a query (thisI can do) BUT then to be able to edit the fields and put this datainto a new table.IS there a way to do this?a big help for any ideas or pointers as I am lost on this
Help !! - Can anyone help. I have had a quick look through the previous threads and can't seem to find anything that may help me. Has anyone got any ideas.
I have a table which has many columns, one of these columns is called actions. On the design of the table, the action column is a Text Datatype and on the lookup tab the row source is a typed in list of actions.
A form has been created from this one table. A drop down box has been created which looks at the action column and so drops down to give us our typed in list of actions.
Users will select the current action from the drop down list.
What I actually want to do is depending on what the current selected action is, that the drop down box only shows a subset / filtered list of actions.
I know how this is designed is not the tidiest/slickest way of doing things, But unfortunately, I have inherited this from someone else who has been running the database this way for over 6 years !!
I have a form where I have two drop down list box.The first list box is called Transaction_Type. It contains three values: Created, Allocated and Sold
The second list box is called Product_Status. It contains 6 items: Allocated, Produced, Reworked, Shipped, To Be Produced, Unallocated.
I have a products form. When a user created more inventory they will selected in the drop down list create, then a quantity. Then I would like the status of the product to update to "Unallocated".
When the user placed an order but doesn't finish it they will choose the status of the inventory to be allocated so I would like the product status to be updated to allocated automatically.
They other status the user will choose them self and do not need to be linked to each other.
In my vba code I have tried with the OnClick and AfterUpdate sub procedures with the following code.
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Created" Then Me.Product_Status.Value = "Unallocated" End If If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Allocated" Then Me.Product_Status.Value = "Allocated" End If
Yes when i select "created" from the drop down list it does not change product_status to say "unallocated"
I have a form where the control source of several text box fields includes a function that looks up values in a table that is not the form's record source. The default value in the property for these fields is set to 0. Unfortunately, when I migrate to a new record, these fields display the dreaded #Error. It should be noted that these fields are for display only and are not even in the form's underlying table.Here is an example of the control source for one of the fields:
Public Function GetFYSummary(strField As String, lngProjectID As Long, lngFYYear As Long, intPeriod As Integer, _ strWBSType As String, strSource As String) As Long
[code]...
I'm trying to cover my bases to ensure that the displayed value of the field shows 0 rather than #Error.I even tried including a breakpoint at the first line of code in the function and it is never even triggered when I move to a new record.As soon as I type the first letter/number in a field that is tied to the form's record source, all of these display values do change to 0 appropriately.
I have a problem with my database I have a combo box that will search for my record. Actually its working I input the specific number it goes to the specific record. But I want, if there no existing record in my database it will display a Messagebox that "No record Found" I try to put a code in a macro builder in a after update property field but nothing happened.
Expression code that it will display the msgbox if there's no record found.
the given code from macro builder is attached. I try to have an if else statement but I dont know how to not equal that giver conditional expression.
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 have created listbox with one column (contains one column only), now i would like to display all the characters of list item (want scroll bar to listbox).
How do i display all text of list item, I have already fixed Column Widths to max length (22";0.1"). However when scrolling to right, it is going to next blank column of list box, which is created only to change Column Widths property.
I have a form that contains a number of tabs, each tab then contains a subform. The basic gist is that there are clients and each client chart needs to be audited to make sure that the every clients chart has all of the correct information in it. So if for example, each client needs an initial treatment plan, there would be a tab called Initial Treatment Plan that would contain a subform (continuous form) displaying all of the clients that are missing this information.
I would like to display the number of records that are being displayed in each subform in the tab next to the name to make it easier for the auditor to know how many which tabs have content to be updated. For example, if there are 10 clients that are missing their initial treatment plan, the tab would read "Initial Treatment Plan (10)".
I was able to get a total number of rows in datasheet view, but I don't know if there is a way to have that field as a hidden field in continuous form view that can have its value displayed in the tab.
I have [Product] in Orders Table and Orders Form as Combo Box for showing Product from Products Table.
And within product field on Orders, I want to make 'Active' product only showing up when choosing from combo box.
I made some records to test in Orders Form. Then I filtered Product from Orders Form with query:
Code: SELECT Products.ID, Products.Product, Products.Active FROM Products WHERE (((Products.Active) Like Yes)); Then I changed some product 'Active' to "No" And the old record disappearing.
How to make older record not disappearing when I filter some of field not being available to choose (because Active product uncheck)
I got a form / subform relationship.how to locate the bottom record, when the user after some queries input at the main form. I desire to display the bottom end record (EOF), instead of some sorting and display the last record at top of the subform!!
In Access 2010, if you have a form with a subform in datasheet view, and you move the focus away from the subform, how can you tell which record(s) on the subform are selected?
When the subform has the focus, the selected row is shown with a blue/grey tint. But as soon as the subform loses the focus, this disappears and all rows look identical.
Its an issue as I have 2 datasheet subforms on my main form, with the 2nd showing records related to the record selected in the 1st. But as soon as the 2nd subform receives the focus, it is impossible to see which record in subform 1 was selected.
I have tried conditional formatting, but that does not work.
What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
