There are 3 column in a combo box, ID is bound column
Part no ID Description
0040 1 class 40-1
0040 2 class 40-2
0040 3 class 40-3
0041 4 class 41-1
0042 5
0042 6
When key in part no 0040, 3 rows under 0040 will be listed out only, filter and match as value entered only. do not show others part no in the combo box selection.
In my form my combo box displays a list from a query called DORP-HDR that has 3 columns
DORP-ID | CODE | NAME
and displays them like that is the drop down list
The form field that the combo is bound to takes the numeric-id field as its value. In the combo control wizard i nominated that value, and in the properties pane bound column value is 1.
and in the properties pane the row source is:
SELECT [DORP HDR].[DORP-ID], [DORP HDR].[CODE], [DORP HDR].[NAME] FROM [DORP HDR] ORDER BY [NAME];
So far so good. I have created lots of combo boxes before like this.
But this time i want the second field in the list (CODE) ALSO bound to another field in my form . So I want the combo to transfer two values not one. How do i do this?
I have a combo box that has two columns, the second one is bound.
Is there any way to reference the 1st column (the unbound one).
What I actually want to do is have the 1st column show up as a status line message or as a quick help message when the combo text is mouse_overed. The problem is the combo box field is a date that is unique 99 % of the time but in that one percent the user needs to see the beginning of the 2nd column ( think of a persons doctors appointments, where one percent of the time a individual needs to visit the same doctor twice in one day , in which case the procedure and the date becomes the selection criteria (but I don't want to show the procedure and the date in the combo box because the procedure is so darn long.)
Confusing enough?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm looking for a work around for getting the bound column setting for a combo box to work. I created a simple table with 2 fields that i have a combo box pointed to. My settings for the combo box are
Column count 2
Bound column 2
The first field is "Description"
The 2nd field is "ID"
I cannot figure out how to have column 2 to be the value that is left in the combo box once I have made my selection.
Ok....Just when you think it's all running smoothly.... :(
I have a combo box, MDLastName, with a column count of 9, with column 2 displaying and all others hidden. The selection made with this combo populates 7 corresponding fields (first name, address, etc). It's working perfectly.
The first problem I encountered was with identical last names, but different corresponding data. When I selected Jones, for example, it would populate the first Dr. Jones and his info, listed in the table. However, if I selected the second Dr. Jones in the combo list, it was still populating only the first Dr. Jones' info. I resolved this by binding the fist column (ID, aka primary key), but still hiding all colums but column 2. First problem fixed..
Next, I have a Word Template document bookmarked to receive data from the form, frmDenial. I have all the coding working fine and dandy to insert the data from the fields on the form, save, and print. However, instead of inserting the text from the MDLastName, it is inserting the primary key (because it is the bound column in the combo box). Now, because of the first problem discussed above, I cannot change the bound column to column 2 (containing the data I need in the Word Template). How can I get the right info to appear in my template with the bookmarks?
I'm using Access 2007. I've created a table with two fields. "Novice and Recertification" as in combo box.
I put it on the form. Now the idea is when a user clicks Recertification, it shows up on the report. When the user clicks on Novice, it should be empty on report (Reason why I want to keep novice is so that we have a record of it.)
Now the challenge is I added another column, empty field for Novice and Recertification for Recertification. Thing is if I set the bound column, I select on an empty field on form and it will be empty on report. But I want the user to see Novice on the form and it must not show on the report.
I have tried creating a combo box in a form and as I have gone through the steps, the option to bind each choice that I created in my drop down box for the form is not an option, so how do I make each choice in my drop down box access the report I need?

Hi
I've created a listbox and am using the following code
stWhat1 = "": stCriteria1 = ","
For Each vItm1 In Me!LstArchive.ItemsSelected
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & Me![LstArchive].Column(0, vItm1)
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & stCriteria1
Next vItm1
Me!txtCriteria1 = CStr(Left$(stWhat1, Len(stWhat1) - Len(stCriteria1)))
The problem is that my bound column is a text field. I'm really struggling on where to put my quotations so that I get the following with the In function
In('00638','00639').
Any help or pointing in right direction would be very much appreciated

I have a form that shows multiple rows of linked/child records.The form in question is the "frmFilterNumberTypeView" form. When a particular filter is used (installed on an automobile), I would like to be able to click on the corresponding "Installed 1" button left of the filter number, so that by code, I can reduce the Qty on Hand by One, and insert the corresponding filter ID to the History table, along with the date/time the filter was used.
how to reduce the Qty on Hand, nor how to do the updates to the History table, I'll figure that out myself over the next week or two (hopefully it won't take that long). What I'm trying to figure out here is how I can associate the red "Installed 1" button with the filter to the right of whichever button I press.
how to sort the filter column on this same form. I'm fairly certain that this would be very easy to do if the subform in question was populated by means of a corresponding query, but I'm afraid that if I go that route that I'll spend another 20+ hours trying to figure out how to get the proper filter records to match the filter manufacturer, not to mention having to next figure out how to link the table so that if I modify any particular filter record, that I'll be able to have the associated table update accordingly.
Is it possible to sort the filter column without the subform record source being a query?
I have two listboxes. One for Activities and the other for Organizations.
I set the Org listbox to be multi-select so I could run a loop on that listbox to join multiple Orgs to a single Activity. That part works well.
To do so, I am using the bound column (which is the pkey value) from the multi select listbox, and on the single select listbox I'm using the ListboxName.value to gather the pkey for the "1" side of this 1:Many series of inserts.
Now... I want to use one of the other-than-bound-column value from the multi-select listbox, but I don't know how. When setting a value I only know of the use of :
Code:
ListBoxOrganizations.ItemData(varItem)
and I don't know how to do the equivalent of
Code:
ListBoxOrganizations.ItemData(varItem's column(2).value)
yes, I just made that up, but I hope you get the point. Meaning, as the loop cruises the ItemsSelected on the multiselect I'd like to use other than the bound column when setting variables.
I've tried using the column property to then cruise to the proper record in the listbox, e.g. :
[code]
txtCollaborationDesc = "Collaborate " & ListBoxOrganizations.Column(2, varItem) & " with " & listboxActivities.Column(2)
[code]
But this seems to return the column(2) value of the first record loaded into the list box, as if the varItem piece is being ignored. I believe the loop is working properly, as when the inserts are happening correctly with the bound column of the multi-select list is correctly present as an Fkey in the resulting child records.
I just can't get any other column's value for some reason.
MS Access 2010 and this is an accdb.
I have three tables.
Table 1: Group
Field 1: Group Text field ( Primary key)
Field 2: Group Description Text field
Field 3: Uidgroup( Autonumber)
Table 2: Subgroup Text field
Field 1: Group ( I want to bound this column to Table 1's Group field that is column 1) I have set bound column property to 1 and column count 1 and the Subgroup table is showing group fields as input perfectly no issues in that )
Field 2: Subgroup, Text field( Primary Key )
Field 3: uidsubg( Autonumber)
Table 3: Email
Field 1: Group ( Bound to Table1's Group ; showing values in combo box, setted bound column property to 1 and showing group field perfectly, no issue in that )
Field 2: Subgroup (I want to bound Table2's subgroup field, which is column number 2, so I wrote 2 in bound column property and row source is table subgroup ; Here is some error comes up, values from subgroup field of subgroup table not being shown up in Email Table's subgroup field as combo box. )
Field 3: Email Text field
Field 4: uideml (Autonumber ) primary key
I want to prepare a Data entry form should have all these fields from all the tables. That should work in following way, first user selects Group then User selects Sub Group and write Email and save the record.
What relationship should I set, or shall I change the table structure.
Access 2010. The first table is called Clients.The Primary Key field for the Clients table is an AutoNumber field called ClientID.The other two relevant fields in this table are ClientFirstName and ClientLastName. The second table is called Contacts.In the Contacts table is a foreign key field, bound to the ClientID field from the Clients table, and also named ClientID.
On the Contacts table, the ClientID field properties are set on the Lookup tab as follows:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT clients.ClientID, clients.ClientFirstName, clients.ClientLastName
Bound Column: 1
Further, in the Row Source's Query Builder, ClientFirstName and Client LastName both have Ascending selected as Sort criteria.
Everything works as intended: When entering data into the the Contacts table (actually, the data is entered via a form built from the Contacts table) the data entry person can click the drop-down on the combo box for the ClientID field, scroll through ClientID records, and see unique ID numbers sorted by first and last names. And the actual data for the field is stored properly as the unique ClientID number.
When entering ClientID data into the Contacts table (or form), is it possible to enable autofill based on ClientFirstName and ClientLastName, rather than ClientID? For instance, let's say we have a few clients named Joe Smith. It would be great to just start typing "Joe Smith," and have the field autofill the ClientID number for the first client named Joe Smith. The intention is to make data entry a bit quicker.
So I have a list box that lists organizations. I recently changed the list box type to extended multi select. On the same form, I have a button that opens a new form where the user can input contacts for each organization. When the list box was not multi select, the expression [forms]![media]!
[List30] made the default value of one of the fields in my contact form the bound column from the selection in the list box. However, now that the list box is multi select, the contact input form does not seem to be able to get the value from the bound column in the list box. When multi select is turned on, is the bound column stored differently.
To even get the contact input button to work, I had to change the code from:
Private Sub Command40_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command40_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Contactsqry"
stLinkCriteria = "[Organization ID]=" & Me.List30
[Code] .....
I'm having a little difficulty setting up a combo box to filter another combo box. I've actually got one working but the second one is giving me all sorts of errors. On the attached database, there's a form called frmAddNewRecord. At the top of the form there's a combo box which allows you to select a name and another combo box beside it which acts as a filter so only names from a certain section are shown (working fine).
The subform which is attached to this form and contains the training details, has another combo box which allows you to select a job...I've tried to add a combo box beside this to filter it but I can't get it to work.
On my form, I currently have a combo box that updates text box data with each new selection. However, after these text boxes for FirstName, LastName, etc. are updated, they cannot be edited. Here is the error message that appears in the status bar:
Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression '[Form]!EmpList.Column(13)'
I'm thinking it might be a result of the data source for the text boxes being a combo box expression.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks. :)
I try to put an expression for the property "bound column" so that my lookup values will be directly dependent on one of attribute's choice
I have got four options for my attribute. Each option will use a slightly different set of lookup values. I save all four sets in another table.
Then in my properties definition I refer directly to this table as lookup base. When I put bound column number equal to an expression so as to choose the right column of lookup values it refuses. It seems that it does notl ike anything other than a numeric value.
If that's a no-go, I am not sure how to achieve what I try to do then?
Essentially I have a table that 4 attributes: QID,itemID,CatType,Catchoice
CatType can have only 4 values. Each value will make Catchoice take on a different set of combo values
The problem I am having is that I am stuck at the Catchoice lookup definition because it is dependent on what kind of CatType the user picks.
i have a subform on a form with Source Object="Query.myquery", my form is generating a sql string dynamically and assigning this sql string to the RecordSource property which works fine. But now if the user changes the width of the columns in the subform and close the form , a prompt is thrown asking if the "myquery" needs to be saved. I dont want to save the settings of "myquery" but at the same time avoid this modal dialog. If i use DoCmd.SetWarnings=False , i dont see the warning anymore BUT the query gets saved.
I am using "myquery" to just display column names in the subform when the forms loads and also without it i cant directly use RecordSource property in my code.
any suggestions?
I've created a form with a combo box to allow users to set the Manager of an employee. I've set the control source for the combo box to the Managers table that contains a primary key and the manager's name.
I've set the bound column to 1, the column count to 2, the column widths to 1;2 (I want to show both columns in the drop down because users can identify managers by either their name or Manager ID).After updating the combo box, the Manager ID shows rather than the Manager Name. Is there a way to have the Manager name show instead of the Manager ID without setting the column widths to 0;2?
I am having a problem entering the 2nd column of a combo box.This is a lookup combo looking at a table called Accessories. The combo is looking up 4 columns in the table, the first column is called "Action" the 2nd column is called "Item". I click on the combo box in the form and decide on the action I want and click that row, it then enters the action I have clicked. But it is the "Item" column I want to enter on the form not the "Action" column.
This only works if I make "Item" the first column which I do not want to do. I want to keep the combo columns in the order they are but enter the 2nd column not the first. I have tried making the bound column the 2nd column but it still enters the 1st column. I am sure access must be capable of doing this but I cannot work out how. It seems you can only enter whatever is in the 1st column.
In Dec 2013 I created an Access table "Donations" that contains fields regarding charitable donations (Date, Donor, Amount). I use an Access form "Select Donor Form" to select a specific Donor (via combo box) from the table. Then an Access Query "Select Donor Query" uses the Donor selected from the combo box in the form to display all of the donations from that Donor for the year as an Access report.
Since I just created this Access table last month, it only had data from 2013. Now that we are in 2014, in preparation for when I run this report next December, I obviously need to modify "something" to clarify that I want the donations from a specified Donor for a particular year (i.e 2014, 2015, 2016, etc.).
I added a field to the Access table called "Year". I probably can derive the year from the already present "Date" field, but sadly, I don't know how to do that. I want to simply edit the existing combobox in the existing form to return Donors that have a record in the existing table where the Year = 2014. That way, the only changes I will need to make over time is to update which year I need and all of the Donors for that year will populate in the combo box.
Below is the Access macro belonging to the combo box in the form. I converted the macro to Visual Basic. What to add to select the Donor for a particular year. You can see that right now it is only selecting "Donor Name" without regard to which year the donor has a record.

I have a list box and a combo box on a form based on a query. The list box is a multi-select, with column values of Client, ClientEmail, and Medical.
Medical is a simple yes/no field, and it is what I want the combo box to sort by. I have a Where clause in the query: WHERE (Medical=[forms]![frmOne]![cmbbx]), and the only values in the combo box are Yes and No (1 column). I also have the combo box set to run a requery macro after updating. I've also tried to change the macro to VBA:
Code:
DoCmd.Requery "lstbx"
When I pick a string from the combo box, the list box just goes blank, rather than updating to clients who either do or don't have Medical, and I can't understand why.
I have a form that has a combo box (box1), Its row source is from a table (table1) than the forms record source (query1). The data box1 sources is from column1 in table1.
I then have a text box (box2). I need it so when i select a record in box1 (from column1) that it displays the corresponding data in that same record (and table) but from column2
Example:
A table has a column with equations and another column with the answer.
I select "1+1" in the combo box
Then in the text box it displays "2"
