Forms :: Filter Down To Specific Categories In Inventory - Scroll Bar In Continuous Form
Sep 9, 2014
I've got a continuous form that displays my massive 3,000+ inventory, with the option to filter down to specific categories. Some categories have 5 items, others have hundreds. The design I have used makes it look really tacky once I filter down to one of the categories that has 5 items, because there is no scroll bar.
What I've tried using is:
Code:
If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount < 10 Then
Me.Scrollbars = 2 'vertical only
Else
Me.Scrollbars = 2
End If
But it still doesn't display correctly (nobar.png). This is probably my biggest headache right now, and every "solution" I've found, doesn't work.

I'm using access 2013 and I like the inventory desktop template but cannot find out how to edit categories, or location.

I have a main form with a continuous sub-form. On the main form I have a series of text boxes that I want to use as a makeshift status bar. The text boxes would be filled in if a value was entered into certain records on my sub-form.The problem I have is since the sub-form is continuous, how would I refer to the specific record on the sub-form that I want to check for a value?

I have a continuous Form named frmBirthdays that lists People with a [DateOfBirth] field.
In the Form Header I have 2 Unbound Combo Boxes 1- cboMonthFilter which list the 12 Months of the year in Text NOT Number and 2- CboAgeFilter that has a list of Ages 0 -30 (which is all i require) and a Clear Filter Command Button.
I would like to be able to filter the people list by cboMonthFilter for anyone that has a Birthday in any given month.
OR
I would also like to filter the people in the list by their age.
But never both at the same time.

combo boxes and continuous forms.I have a continuous form (works great), with two combo boxes that navigate (rather than limit/ filter the list) to the desired selection.One for suburb and one for postcode.
I have expanded the select criteria for the suburb to include postcode as some suburb names are used in more than one state. (I do not want to have to select a state, then suburb).I changed the column count to see the postcode next to the suburb, however when the selection is made only the first instance is selected.
Example.
Epping 2121
Epping 3076
If I chose Epping 3076, Epping 2121 is selected and the continuous form navigates to that suburb (rather than the one with 3076).Can I change this so that I can still search by postcode, or search by suburb and have the form navigate to the corrected suburb postcode combination?

I've built a basic inventory management system that allows a business to add products and the ingredients (and labour etc.) that go into them so they can work out costs and profit.We've run into a bit of a usability problem in the sense that they have 700 different ingredients and so adding them to products has become a little unwieldy as the lists in the comboboxs are massive.
What they've asked me to do is to add a filter combobox to the Ingredients subform of their New Product page that allows them to constrain the Ingredients by type, to make the lists more manageable. So if you imagine they are entering a record for a new cake and need to add Eggs as an ingredient they could either...
a) Scroll through the list of 700 ingredients as they do currently and find "Size 3 chicken egg".
...or...
b) Use a combobox on the ingredient row to pick "Eggs" which would in turn filter the ingredients combobox on that row from 700 ingredients down to a handful e.g."Size 1 chicken egg", "Size 2 chicken egg", "Size 3 chicken egg", "Size 1 duck egg" etc.
the filter combobox applies to all rows in the subform! Is there a clever way of telling the Filter to only apply itself to the current row of the continuous form?My code is...
Code:
Private Sub FilterRMs()
Dim mySql As String
If Me.RMTypeFilter.Column(1) = "999" Then
Me.FilterOn = False
code]....

I have almost completed creating a continuous form which I want users to be able to filter though the records based on to/from date, badgenum and a response string.
I then want to have a button, btnSelect, that will select the remaining records and open a report based off only the remaining records.
1.) Everything on the continuous form works except when trying to filter a combo box, cboBadge, field name "BadgeNum". BadgeNum is data type "short text". I have modified the code below from the following Allen Browne link. It keeps throwing a debug on me.Filter = strWhere at the bottom of the btnFilter sub.
2.) As far as the btnSelect and printing remaining records, I guess I'm not sure where to start.. I currently have another print button that will print individual records only which works fine.
[URL] ....
Code:
Private Sub btnFilter_Click()
Dim strWhere As String 'The criteria string.
Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of the criteria string to append to.
Const conJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#" 'The format expected for dates in a JET query string.
[Code] ....

Access 2010. I have a form pulling from a query to create a "To Do' list of sorts. On this form is a button to open an input form for the corresponding record (I hope). When this button is used I want it to pull certain data for that specific line from the query and input it into the new record opened by the button. I know this is possible as I use another db that does this but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in the new db.

I have a continuous form for which the recordsource is a query that retrieves dates from 10 days in the past to 10 days in the present. I want the record with today's date to be at the top of the form. The record with the oldest date is always on top. Is this a scrolling issue? How can I get the record with today's date to appear on top?

I am working in Access 2003.
I have set up a form that fills out my master table. What I am having an issue with is:
I have 6 different categories that different items fall under.
example: Category 58-Wire Rope and Cable
Category 60-Fasteners
Category 93 - Safety
I need each item that falls under any one of these categories to have a unique identifier starting with the category number.
Example: Safety Glass - - - part number 930001
1.5 inch Cable - - part number 580001
I want to be able to select a category from my drop down box on the form and for the part number to auto fill with the next available number in that sequence.

Can we set different colors on specific rows in a continuous form?
Suppose the following data entry form (continuous) is to fill in spouse name, while name and marital status is already prepared in a different table. If the marital status is Married, then the spouse name textbox's background color will be Yellow. The standard background color is white.
Name Marital Status Spouse Name
-------------------------------------
xxxx Married (Yellow)
xxxx Unknown (White)
xxxx Not married (White)
xxxx Married (Yellow)

Hello,
I have a continuous subform that shows 2 records consisting of a text field and a yes/no field.
I was wondering if it was possible to take the state of one particular of the yes/no fields to trigger an event. Specifically, when one of the questions is checked [true] then I would like to make visible another subform on the main form.
Can this be done, and if so, how, or should I just leave my subform visible at all times?
Thank you.

I have a continuous subform recording the information of various wireless products for an employee embedded in an employee main form. Please see screen shot enclosed.
There is a check box "BYOD/Personal" on the subform. I want to hide a number fields when this check box on independent record is checked. However, if I use the following codes, the changes apply to all records under that employee.
Private Sub BYOD/Personal_AfterUpdate()
If BYOD/Personal.Value = True then
Me.Provider.Enabled = False
Me.XXX.Enabled = False....etc.
Else
Me.Provider.Enabled = True
Me.XXX.Enabled = True....etc.
End If
End Sub
How can I just disable those fields on the subform of a specific record when the BYOD/Personal field for that record is checked?

Hi
I'd like to be able to filter a form (fed by an underlying query) by using a toggle button setup on the form itself. My simplistic pseudo-code would go something like this.
Default state
List all records where DateRemoved is Null.
Toggle state
List all reocrds where DateRemoved is NotNull.
Can anyone kindly assist.
Many thanks

On my continuous form, I have a field that is a checkbox. I would like to place an unbound checkbox/radiobutton in the form header so that when the it is checked, it will display only records that are checked, and when it is unchecked, it will only display records that are unchecked.

I have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD()
On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False
Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO
Exit Sub

I am running access 2007 and have a continuous form that I am trying to filter. The table that I am pulling the data from has the following fields: Order_Date, Order_number, Model.
I want to filter based on Order_Date.
I tried creating an "after update" Macro builder on my combo box and using "Apply Filter" but I cannot seem to get my syntax right.
Filter is the name of my combo box
Here is my current setup:
Filter Name:
Where Condition: [Order_Date] Like [Filter]
Control Name:
However whenever I select a new date from my combo box it asks me to "Enter Parameter Value" for Filter, which I don't understand because my combo box name is Filter. I would think they would link up.

Hi there,
Thanks for having me as a member of your forum!
I'm completely new to all things Access (apart from using databases set up by others!), but now as a small business owner need to set up a simple inventory database.
I've got the database set up and all historical inventory transactions are entered. What I need now is the abiliy to run a report that will allow me to see what the inventory status was on a specific date. I will gladly send the database to anyone that can assist. Can anyone help me achieve this?
I've puzzled over this for days now without success! Thanks for any help that can be offered.

I'm trying to sort and filter a continuous form. Sort ascending and filters works perfectly fine. But my descending button doesn't work. I basically have a combo box which contains a field list. Then two buttons (asc. and desc.), then a text box for filter, a button to filter, and another button to reset filter. Here's my code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAscending_Click()
If IsNull(Me.cboField) Then
MsgBox "Please choose a field.", vbOKOnly, "No field to sort."
Else
Me.OrderBy = Me.cboField
Me.OrderByOn = True

So I have been developing a database tool that needs to have multiple ways of filtering data. I wanted to be able to display the data nicely so I'm using a split form.
As usual, there is an easy to read form on the top half and a datasheet on the bottom half. On one side of the form half I have some comboboxes that are associated with fields in the datasheet. The comboboxes apply multiple filters, narrowing the search results down. It all works fine.
However, I've been trying to figure out a way to remove just one filter at a time. There is a button to the right of each combobox that is intended to clear just one filter.
So far this is what I have. This code clears all filters.
Code:
Function removeFilter(source As String, combo As ComboBox)
'source is the field being filtered and combo is the current
'value of the combobox
With Forms("PART_QUERY")
.Filter = "[" & source & "] = " & Chr(34) & combo & Chr(34)
.FilterOn = False
End With
End Function
I had some success using another method with select statements. Every time I cleared a filter, I would also check every other combobox to see if they were not null, then reapply each one of there filters. That seems way over complicated. I'm sure I'm missing something.
How do I remove one, specific filter from a split form, after I have applied many different filters?

I have a form in datasheet view, with the record ID column frozen and users typically scroll to the right to see certain columns. Different users scroll to a different position.
I dont have the option to reduce the number of columns or create separate forms for different users, - they all need to see all the columns but typically a user scrolls horizontally to see a certain set of columns most of the time. I want to save that position for the next time they open the form.

I'm trying to use an unbound form to enter single inventory items to my database. As part of the function of this form, I'd like to check new items against the current inventory, and perform the function you can see in the error handling code(Which works fine). Currently, when I try to run this I get an error on the syntax of the 'FROM' clause.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub btnCommit_Click()
'On Error GoTo errHandler
Dim SQL As String
SQL = " INSERT INTO [InventoryDetail]" & _

I have an inventory of equipment that is assigned to different locations. When repair is needed, the equipment is brought in and swapped with a loaner. How can I update on a form the location change from "A" to "Shop" that will show up on the related equipment table? I have "Location" in the table, but don't know if I need something to the effect of "NewLocation" to assist in showing the equipment swap.

Suppose I receive boxes and store them in a room. Each box can contain items that are either shaped as cubes or spheres and I have to allow for the addition of more shapes in the future, but only one shape can be in each box. Each box contains a random number of shapes and two boxes may, or may not, contain the same number of shapes as another.Cubes can be either Red or Green, Spheres can be either Blue or Yellow.
I wish to set, and have the ability to change, how many cubes and how many spheres, on a percentage basis, I wish to have (e.g., 60% Cubes and 40% spheres).I also wish to set, and have the ability to change, what percentage of cubes I want to be Red and Green and which percentage of Spheres I wish to be Blue and Yellow (e.g., Cubes -Red 70%, Yellow 30% )
e.g. -- I have several boxes totaling:
Cubes
Red 30
Green 40
Spheres
Blue 10
Yellow 20
My goal is to produce three reports.The first report would provide the Target and Actual number of Cubes and Spheres expressed as a Value and %. The #'s would simply be calculated from my desired % . So, if I wanted to have 60% cubes and I had 100 Shapes, my target # would be 60. If I had 200 Shapes it would be 120. (i.e., The actual number of shapes I have is simply a factor of how many I receive and I have no control over this.)
The First Report would look like this
Target % - Actual % - Target # - Actual #
Cubes 60% 70% 60 70
Spheres 40% 30% 40 30
The second and third reports would be the same format but would break down cubes into red and green and spheres into blue and yellow.I can accomplish the Report that breaks down the shapes but I am running into problems with the next level as I need the total number of shapes and the the total number of only Cubes or Spheres to insert into the expressions.

I gather that there is no way to include a scroll bar on a memo field in a form. What is the best workaround? The source is a mysql odbc table. It is set as medium text and comes into Access 2010 as a memo field. For a user coming to this field to read the material entered there, unless they click somewhere within the field, there isn't a scroll bar. It isn't obvious that that is what they need to do to see all of it. Is there any way to work around this limitation?
