I've got a form with a drop down combo box with two columns. When you hit the down arrow it shows both columns, but when you click a choice, it only shows the data in the first column. How do I make it show both columns after it has been chosen? First col is First Name, second col is Last Name.
View RepliesI have created a form with combo box which shows certain fields I selected. By clicking that I want to open a NEW form which has all the fields so that I can edit the record.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a totals query that shows results in a chart. It takes a parameter to limit results, by a combobox in a form.
Parameter in the query includes the OR "*" expression, in case someone wants to get the results unfiltered.
The Combobox in the form, has an AfteUpdate event that opens the chart (form) every time its value changes, by the [DoCmd.OpenForm "ChartForm" , acNormal] expression.
I don't know how to make it open the ChartForm when no parameter is selected in the combobox.
I have a Combo Box bound which gets its values from a table (T_Users).
The Combo Box displays the Users 'Initials' [Column 1], but the Bound Column [Column 2] is that of the Users 'ID' (which is used when a record is edited or a new record added).
What I want to be able to do is when the user clicks the Combo Box, and the drop down list 'drops down' the options, I want them to not only see the 'Initials' but also selected other columns - BUT - when the option is selected I just want the 'Initials' to be displayed in the Combo Box.
Code:
So, Normal > | ABC |
Dropped Down > | ABC |

I have built a form that holds details of training records. What I want is when a drop down is selected in the main form, that it will populate some of the fields in the subform. I have this working at the moment, that for example, when a certain course is selected, that their modules will appear in the subform. Where my problem arises is that I have a relationship between two tables that I want to appear on the subform, so that details can be filled in on the subform against the list of modules that automatically appear.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently I'm building tables and forms. My first table (called Clients) lists the details of fictional clients. My second table is for invoices.
In my invoices table, I wish to link the column for client reference (note: stored in the Clients table) to the column that precedes it. This column will list the clients’ names and is selected from a drop down list that is linked to the Clients table.
What I want to do (if its possible) is to have the respective client ref. automatically show up in the next cell once I've selected the client to whom the invoice relates?
Am I making sense? Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?
Secondly, how do I do a sum of selected columns for my “totals” column? Basically, I want to add the figures found in several cells that precede it?
I am trying to create an available list of employees to assign to an event. Basically, when I assign someone to the event and need to assign additional people, I don't want the ones who have already been selected to show up in the drop down.
Sheet1 is the linked Excel sheet where all of the employees are contained.
Assigned officers is the table where those selected to work are stored.
Using the following code, I get a prompt for sheet1.[employee id]
Code:
SELECT Sheet1.[Officer Name], Sheet1.[Employee Number], Sheet1.[Employee Number]
FROM Sheet1
WHERE (((Sheet1.[Employee Number]) Not In ([Assigned Officer].[Employee ID])));
;
I don't think the "not in" is correct.
I want to have a drop down on my office field - I would like to show 2 columns (officeID and officename) - I would like the field populated with the officeID when selected.
I can't seem to get the 2 columns to show in the lookup.[
I have a table with questions and answers. I want the answers to be selected from a drop down menu. The problem is that for each question the answer options are different. That means I need to prepare different drop down menus for each question.
I've attached the table as well.
I am trying to do the following. I understand how to create relationships.However, when I create a field with a drop down selection (in this example Phone Number and Email) once that list item is selected I would like the column to the right to populate that information.So when Phone # is selected, the field to the right will populate a number for this individual.

Why is it that everytime I print a report containing Drop-down Boxes, the selected value for that particular record is blacked out?
This is a screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://ww w.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1177902_txqed/AccessReport-Error.JPG
All the blacked-out bits are supposed to be the selected values for each record.
I use Microsoft Access 2002. How can I fix this so that the actual value is legible?
To recreate the problem:
1) My table contains a field (called "Colour") that can only be satisfied by certain values ("Black"; "White"; "Coloured") as defined by a drop-down list.
2) I enter a record about a white scarf. Therefore under "Colour", I select "White" from the drop-down list.
3) I make a report from my table.
4) I print the report.
5) However, when I look at the record of the white scarf, all I see under "Colour" is a box containing the values "Black" and "Coloured", and in between them, the selected value "White" should be, is a black line.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER!
I have created a Db in MS Access 2010 and under Options > Current Database I have done the following:
- Used drop down to select a form I want to display on opening
- Unchecked display navigation pane
- Unchecked allow full menus
This works how I want it to, perfectly. I then send it to a client who also has MS Access 2010 and when they open the file the form I have told it to open doesn't open, the navigation bar is displayed (with the form I want to open highlighted) and the full menus show but are locked.
What's going on? Is it some security setting the client has that isn't letting the opening procedure execute properly?
Drag and Drop works great but how do I open a reports based on what I selected?
I have two list boxes the first is "items not selected" and the second is "Items selected" now I want to create a button that open a report showing the result from "Items selected"?? Hope someone can help I've been to ms access web site but our firewall does not allow any down loads. Thanks in advance.
I have extraction report from calculation program and dont have access to tables. When I import it to MS Access it looks like attached Sheet1. Is there a simple SQL query or VBA code which will allow me to import the data to new Sheet2 table? Fields 1,7&13 will always be the same and I want them to be column names, Fields 4, 10 &14 contains data which will be different each time I delete the old calculation from Sheet1 and import a new one. I would like to be done in Access as I have to import few hundred calculations and store it in Sheet2 table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working in Access 2010. I have a simple form that is bound to table "Jobs" in which the key field is job number.
I want to create a search drop down. I need it to display both the job number and the customer name; and I would like the user to be able to start typing the customer name in the dropdown and for the drop down to pull it up as I'm typing it.
I create a simple query for the row source of my drop down:
SELECT Jobs.Job_Number, Customers.Customer_Name
FROM Jobs LEFT JOIN Customers ON Jobs.Job_Number = Customers.Job_Number;
When I run the query, I get both columns. I set the bound column to 1.
Column count = 2.
Column widths =1";1"
Go to run it and it displays only the job number in the drop down after I select. In addition, it does not filter at all.
Is there any way to 'Export' the selected column (user selected columns) as CSV. I have attached a mockup (screenshot) that gives a clear thought about the scenario. The 'User' will be able to select the 'Columns' for the export of 'tblInventory' and by clicking 'Export as CSV' button will export the 'Selected' columns as CSV.

Does anyone know how to get the columns of a listbox selected item and store it to a string? There is no multi-selection so it should be easier. I tried
s$ = Me.list1.selected but it keeps giving me an error
Thanks alot
I'm new to Access. We have a database that was created years ago and has been working fine. Now suddendly we get the following error message on a query.
"The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match"
This is the code
SELECT [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date, [TimeSheets All].Details, [TimeSheets All].[Start Time], [TimeSheets All].[End Time], [TimeSheets All].[Unbillable hours], [TimeSheets All].Who, *
FROM [TimeSheets All]
WHERE ((([TimeSheets All].[Job Number]) Like [Forms]![Search]![Job Number]))
ORDER BY [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date;
It's been a while since I last used Access but now I need to be reminded how to populate a sub-form with all rows for a query (Access 2013).
- Do I need to establish a relationship between Table A (main form) and Table B (sub-form)?
- What sub-form properties need to be set to display all retrieived rows from the main form query (select where Table A PK = Table B PK)?
I have disabled the Ribbon using XML code in the USysRibbon table. Everything has worked fine, except that now when I click on two different tabs that exist on my form, the Form Tools Ribbon pops up with options to go to Layout, Design View, etc., and other options, too.
I have two subforms on this tab, but neither one has a Ribbon Name set (I didn't even know how to do that when I made them) where to look to see why this is happening. The Ribbon does not show at all on the other tabs like it is supposed to. It only shows when I click on my 3rd and 4th tabs, and then it disappears again when I click on other tabs.
I have a query that pulls information from a combo box in my form, now I've made a pivot form to report the outputs, however my legend will only display the first two letters of word... I need to show the entire word.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, let's say I have a table named FLOWER_SHIPPING that has field:
Date [Date]
Flower_name [Short Text]
Amount [Long Integer]
Sender [Short Text]
Address [Long Text]
Then I created a form named MAINF with FLOWER_SHIPPING as its RecordSource. The form only has one TextBox: Date.
Then in MAINF, I created a subform named SUBF with FLOWER_SHIPPING as its RecordSource, in Datasheet View. It shows all fields in FLoWER_SHIPPING as it is.
The link between MAINF and SUBF is Date.
I want SUBF to only show record based on the Date chosen in Date TextBox in MAINF. So far, yes it did what I want. But with problems:
1) [SOLVED] SUBF does show record based on the Date I've chosen in MAINF's TextBox Date, but it ALWAYS ALSO shows the first record on the FLOWER_SHIPPING table. And the date in the first record always changed into the Date I just input in the TextBox Date in the MAINF. Automatically.
Example: I chose 6/22/2013, and there are 2 records with that date. the SUBF will show 3 records: those 2 records + the first row of FLOWER_SHIPPING with its Date automatically set to 6/22/2013.
2) When I chose a date in MAINF, I have to click everywhere in the SUBF so that it will refresh its content. Can I have it refresh automatically everytime after a date chosen?
I have a bound form which shows list of items in the stock. When i click on a button it should open another form which shows the details of item which we choose from the first form.the code which i have in click event of the form is :
Code:
Dim strCrit As String
strCrit = "PkID=" & Me.RadStocks
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmIssueRadItems", , , strCrit
It works sometimes but most of the time it gives error saying " syntax error(missing operator) in query expression 'PkID=Airmux 200E DC".
I have a listbox with checkbox's based on a table.
The listbox reflects everything great, except it shows an extra checkbox at the end of the list that does nothing.
I think this is the "next record" from the table, but I don't want this to show. How do I hide or get ride of this extra checkbox?
I have made an unbound check box, named "myckeck" in a form which shows data from a table in tabular layout.
1- When I check one check box, all check boxes are checked. How can I solve that? I mean I want to check or clear check boxes independently.
2- I made a text box, named "jobdate" to sow todays date automatically upon checking a check box.
Code:
Private sub mycheck_afterupdate()
jobdate = date
End
But this is not working and checking a check box does not make anything to happen.
3- Then I made this expression in the default value of "jobdate" properties:
iif( mycheck = true, date(), null)
This not working either.
The recordsource is a query with over 6,000 records. The form currently lists the records in datasheet format with header and footer for things like buttons and filtering. The client wants to be able to go from page to page of the souce query, showing 100 records on the form at a time.
But at the same time, they should be able to filter or sort the data source in it's entirety. The person who created the form came up with what seems like an awful solution to the problem. It seems to use a random number generator to determine how many records to portray at a time. I see this in the code as well as in operation, because the number of records on page to page varies. It doesn't even start out at 100! Worse yet, using a sort on the page only sorts the records that are visible.
