Forms :: Drop Down Select Control Box - Scrolling Through Records In Table
Aug 14, 2013
I have a fairly large table with approx 15k records. I have a form where I have a drop down/select control box that displays all of these records showing a few of the fields. I select one of these records to create a new record as it places one of the fields into the new record. The problem is that there are so many records that it takes a lot of scrolling to get through all the records.
Once I scroll through all the records, the next time I scroll, it is very fast and shows all the records in one scrolling. However, when I get off the form and then go back it starts over with all the records having to scroll through etc.. What I want to be able to do is have all these records loaded so that they can be scrolled through quickly the first time I open up the form.

I had 3 drop down filters that worked when the word being filtered was written in the table. I have since then linked them to new tables to be more database-y. The problem I have found (a couple weeks later too) is that my drop downs broke.
It makes sense why, they are now 1,2,3,4 instead of words but how do I make this work now that it isn't in the current table?
Code:
Private Sub cboMDS_AfterUpdate()
Dim myPlane As String
If Me.cboMDS = 0 Then
myPlane = "Select * from Baseline"
[Code] ....

I created a form that has a drop down menu to select a name. I attempted to set it up so that once a name is selected, another form is opened with that person's information. I was able to get it set up so that the first form closes and the second form comes up, but I can't get it to filter the name. I tried using SetTempVar and then SearchForRecord, but got nothing. I tried using OpenForm and Where Condition equals the search, but just got the automation error. It is currently set up using SetTempVer, OpenForm, SearchForRecord.

I need to create some new records based on main form data and a selection of records from a sub form. The main form and sub form have different sources. I wanted to show the source fields in the sub form along with a check box to allow the users to select individual records. The record source for the sub form contains >1000 records, so the user will first enter data in the main form, use filters to find the records he wants to 'assign' to the main form data, click those he selects, then click a command button in the main form to create the record(s) based on the main form data and the selected records from the sub form. The new records will be appended to a new table.

I have a SELECT INTO query that pulls info and drops it into a table, after deleting the target table and making it anew upon insertion of the selected records... Is there some way to accomplish the same feat without deleting the target table, so I could retain the target table's fields/field lengths?
I would first set up a target table with fields of specific lengths, and when the data is inserted, the data that fits would insert into these fields, and data that didn't would be truncated..I guess my problem is that when the new table is created it makes all the fields string 255 which is too long when I goto export the data, without having to clip/trim the data for use.

I can create a dropdown list to filter my form (text) however im struggling to get back to showing all the data prior to my drop down selection.
ive tried refreshing and requerying with no success.
I would either like to get a drop down with the addition of "all records" in it or a refresh button.
the form that this is on is a sub form.
I could reference the drop down to a number if required.
Additionally: When I have selected my choice from the drop down box it blacks out "selects all". Is there away of making the list just select and lose focus so to speak.

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 have validation on a checkbox on a sub form and after the validation fails and the cancel = true is executed in the before update event, I am unable to select the checkbox on the form. Access will not allow the selection. my subform is called frmContactType so hopefully I am referencing it correctly:
Me.frmContactType.Form.chkAssociate

I am using Access 2010 and the web database so having a bit of an issue. I have tried google but no luck really - seems complex and confusing.
Basically I have a table which has column 1 of the unique id and column 2 is the project name.
When you click the drop down on the form, I want it to show column 2 (the project name) and when you click this, on the form I want it to find that record.

is it possible to use a sum select query in the control source field of a text box. I have a query that works fine in a combo text box but I keep getting a 'syntax error with subquery parenthesis' when I try and build on in a normal text box.
I am building the query using query design view and the query works and then I'm copying the SQL code behind the query into the text box field and access reformats it s a bit so not sure it's that's the reason.
R_P_Data_P = Table
approvalNosys = Field in the table
status = Field in the table
score = Field in the table
cmrOverview = Form
[approvalNoSys] = field in form
1 is the criteria
Code:
SELECT R_P_Data_P.approvalNosys, R_P_Data_P.status, Sum(R_P_Data_P.score) AS SumOfscore
FROM R_P_Data_P
GROUP BY R_P_Data_P.approvalNosys, R_P_Data_P.status
HAVING (((R_P_Data_P.approvalNosys)=[forms]![cmrOverview]![approvalNoSys]) AND ((R_P_Data_P.status)="1"));

Is there a way in which someone can select a table from a drop down list and then search that table for a record then move that record to another table.
For example.
User selects 'Mikey's_table' searchs for a record then move this selected record to 'Mandy's_table'
(all the tables have the same structure etc. identical apart from the name of the table and records within)
I have the list of tables that all the records will be on and the users will know which table the record is in, i basically need to know if there is an ability to search for a record over multiple tables then edit that record and move it to another Table.
I have tried to use a Union Query which works when searching but i cannot edit or move the record ...

I have a Combo Box on a form who's selection determines the records shown in a Sub-Form. However if there is more than 1 record in the Sub-Form and I try to scroll or navigate to the nest record I get an error message Saying that my action will create a duplicate record and it will not me allow me to view the next record.
I merely want the Sub-Form to be read only and I have set all the editing functions etc. to No.where I am going wrong?
Combo Box is fed from one table and sub form from another. The tables have a one to many relationship.

Hi
I have a small database with 4 tables that I am using for the current problem.
The tables are call, parents, mailman, orders.
Call and parents are related by the call ID (a primary key in the Call table.).
Mailman and orders are related by a Unique Id (a primary key in the mailman table.).
Forms involved are frmmain and frmsub.
Frmmain contains the call table information in the main form and parents information in the subform.
When a user enters a call with call ID and enters the operator name and parents information in the sub form,
When a user clicks the OK button on the main form, necessary changes should take place
if they enter the case type in the sub form part of parent information as ‘missing information’ or ‘missing link’ then the parent information with fields first name, lastname, case type, operator information should be inserted into mailman table in appropriate fields.
Simultaneously a record should be inserted into orders( after the record is first inserted into mailman, since both tables are linked with unique id) with the following information.
Orderid being autonumber.
Uniqueid from the mailman table.
Orderdate system date.
Ordertype should be “Mailman”

In my form's table (tblMain), I've got a lookup field (drop-down list) that lists the primary key field from a different table (tblDiff). tblDiff includes 3 more fields. In my form for tblMain, I want to include 3 more textboxes that get filled up with these 3 fields from tblDiff when the corresponding primary key is selected in the drop-down box.

I'm a new user of Access and I'm required to input a survey into access. The data collected is being analyzed afterwards and therefore there cannot be any alpha content in the original table so I assigned multiple choice options numbers to correspond to the answers. In form view however I need the drop down boxes to spell out the answers, not just the numbers so the interviewer can read them out, I've seen this done on other similar surveys..I also tried going into form view and editing the drop down choices but that changes the table values.

I have a field in a Contacts table called Referred By. I also have a separate table called Referred By which contains a numeric ID and a value for each Referrer. When I enter data into the Contacts table, I want the Referred By field to have a down arrow so that I can select the appropriate value. The Referred By table has 2 fields -- ID (AutoNumber) and Referred By (Long Text). There are currently 5 values in the Referred By Table.

Hello,
I'm sure this has a simple solution, but iv searched this forum and every solution that i get is filled with code that goes over my head! Well here goes...
I have a main form called expense... which contains a tab control. the tabcontrol in turn has three pages containing a subform each. (lets call them sbfrm1 sbfrm2 and sbrm3.)
All three subforms are based on three different queries (say Qry1 Qry2 and Qry3) but the three queries are based on the same table. this table contains all the expenses incurred over the months across three categories (hence three queries). the subforms are to display these expenses according to categories.. i.e. sbfrm1 displays records pertaining to Category1, sbfrm2 for category2 etc.(the queries ensure that!)
when the main form opens, the subforms display all the records in the table according to category...but not according to the month in which the expenditure was incurred.
I now want to add a feature that enables the user to choose records pertaining to a given month at the click of a button.
for eg. if there is an option group named month, (with toggle buttons as the month names), then if the user selects the month Aug, then immediately the subform1 displays records under category1 for the month Aug? However I want to include an "ALL" option as well whereby all the records are displayed for all months (the category criteria must be maintained at any cost!!!!
Is there a solution that will not use too much code!
Thanks in advance.

I have a master table located on the backend of the server with about 3 fields:
Software
Version
Description
I have 4 databases, one for each software on the front end accessing this master table.
So far I have in the master table a dropdown to select 1 of the 4 software's, the version number and a brief description.
One the front end I have a button that when pressed will bring up the report based on the master table.
Can I have the report just select the software that it refers to. For instance if the datebase is Sony when I click on the report it only grabs the records with Sony on it. For my next database when I open up Sharp's database it only makes a report for the Sharp records.
How would I do this? Is this something I have to code or something I can do in criteria or do I create a query?

We have a system which calls a form from a hyperlink. The called form opens in Dialog mode (a box with a border which "Overlays" the screen). It has been working well until now when a new user has started using a computer with a smaller screen which can't display all of the dialog box (they don't have access to critical fields).
For now I have changed the mode of opening to normal which provides scroll bars but this only opens to the right of the navigation menu. Is there a way to set up scrolling within the dialog box.

I have got the following code off another thread which works great!
I was just wondering if there was any way I can link the scrolling messages to a table so rather than having to go into the code to alter the messages the user can change them through a form or in the table.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public txtScrollStatus As String ' Needed for Status Bar
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.Maximize
' Text for Caption of Form
Me.Caption = " CAPTION MESSAGE " & Space(25)
' Text for Label on Form
Me.lblScrollingLabel.Caption = " SCROLLING LABEL MESSAGE " & Space(100)
' Text for Status Bar
txtScrollStatus = " STATUS BAR MESSAGE " & Space(25)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
' Produce the Scrolling Text in Caption on the Form
Me.Caption = Mid(Me.Caption, 2, _
(Len(Me.Caption) - 1)) & Left(Me.Caption, 1)
' Produce the Scrolling Text in Label on the Form
Me.lblScrollingLabel.Caption = Mid(Me.lblScrollingLabel.Caption, 2, _
(Len(Me.lblScrollingLabel.Caption) - 1)) & Left(Me.lblScrollingLabel.Caption, 1)
' Produce the Scrolling Text in Status Bar of Access
SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, txtScrollStatus
txtScrollStatus = Mid(txtScrollStatus, 2, (Len(txtScrollStatus) - 1)) & Left(txtScrollStatus, 1)
End Sub

I have a form open, but want to print only specific fields in each record. Been trying lots of filtering methods to no avail as I am a novice at filtering.
I can filter records, but cant figure out how to filter specific fields from those records.
My project goes something like this:
Each record in my form consists of listed items like on an invoice. However, not all the items on any given invoice will be printed. Therefore, I set up checkboxes beside each line, so for each invoice, I only tick the items I want to be printed from that invoice. However, I just cannot yet find a way to print the selected items.

Hello,
I've looked through the thread and was unable to find exactly what I'm looking for ?
Basically I have a table with multiple fields & records and I would like to key on the ID field which has a slew of different ID's..... these ID's can be the same & show up on the table anywhere from 1 to 600 times.
What I'm trying to do is select each ID and pull only 10 records for each or if less than 10 pull in those as well.
So instead of pulling in the 600 records for that particular ID I only want to pull in 10 of those records, and for the ID that only has the 1 record pull in the info for that as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
