Forms :: Cascading Combo Boxes For Table And Field Names
May 15, 2013Currently, I have a form with a combobox that lists all of the names of the tables inside my database. Depending on the table selected in the first combobox, I would like to have another combobox which allows the user to choose from the field names inside that table.

Mar 12, 2015I've been asked to take a look at a database to look for areas which could be improved. It's not a database I've built myself so I've started by taking a 'walk-through' of the system to see how it works.
What I did notice amongst other things which confused me a little was that, on a specific form, called 'Tenders Sub Form' (tenders stands for builders), there are two combo boxes, each of which is used to enter the same kind of data back to the 'Tenders' table.
I've uploaded a screenshot for you to see. As we work down the 'Tenders Sub Form', we're asked to enter the 'CustomerID', which is simply the ID for the Customer and you'll see from the Relationships I've also uploaded, that this is the Primary Key in the 'CustomersMain' table. This is also an AutoNumber data type. Further down just under 'QuoteID', there is another combo box, which asks for the 'CustomerName'. This is using all the same data as the first combo box, only the first combo box is bound to column 1, the CustomerID and the second combo box is bound to column 2, the Customer Name.
If we then look in the 'Tenders' table - we can see that it's storing the Customer ID and CustomerName is there own fields.
My question really is, would there be a more efficient way to store both the CustomerID and CustomerName in the Tenders table, without the need to use two combo boxes and effectively enter the same data twice.
I'm sure that this was set up with the purpose of being able to see the Customer Name in the table rather than just the Customer ID.

Update Field In A Table Using Combo Boxes
May 4, 2005 Hello,
I am a basic/intermediate user of Access. I have been given a small assigment to
update a field (the primary id field to be exact) in one of my tables based on the choice
selected on my combo box on my form.
Tables:
Survey_Answer (N/A, yes, no, Dev) with sur_ans_id being the primary id. (this is the
table that I am using to populate or pull information in my combo box. sur_answer: The NA, yes, no and dev.
tblSurvey: has foreign key sur_ans_id.
Therefore, when the user selects yes, no etc. from the combo box , it is supposed to pull the id (1 or
2 or 3 or 4) based on the choice and update table Survey's sur_ans_id.
Currently when the choice is made, it duplicates values (even though i have for my row source for the
combo box: SELECT DISTINCT sur_answer FROM Survey_Answer in the Survey_Answer Table.
My Main code to update I have put in On change under the combo box property is:
Public Sub DoSQL()
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "UPDATE Survey " & _
"SET Survey.sur_ans_id = (SELECT Survey_Answer.sur_ans_id FROM Survey_Answer WHERE cbosur_answer.Column(0) = Survey_Answer.sur_answer)" & _
"WHERE Survey_Answer.sur_ans_id = Survey.sur_ans_id AND Survey.que_id = Question.que_id"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub
However, this is not working: I know it has something to do with my BOUND COLUMN count property but that is mostly where I am stuck. I cannot
update Survey.sur_ans_id properly. I understand the concept of BOUND COLUMN but i don't know how to apply it to my SQL statement.
I am sorry for the long narration but any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Forms :: Field In Form Based On Combo Boxes
Jun 4, 2015My database is using data that is entered by the employees to generate Quotations. There is one important piece of information that will not be entered by the employee. The quotes involve metals which are priced based on market price and weight. I am planning on integrating a data feed with this information, but for now I want to enter it manually in a table. The price depends on two combo boxes one for "Precious or Base Metals", and one for "Metal Name". I want those two values to call the price from a table, and automatically fill in the "Market Price" field in the form.Also once that is in I would like to do my calculations. I am planning on using queries to do these. Is that the correct method?
View 6 Replies View RelatedForms :: Multiple Field Search In Combo Boxes?
May 1, 2013I would like to have 5 combo boxes from which users can choose fields to search, e.g.
cbo1 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
cbo2 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
cbo3 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
cbo4 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
cbo5 - choose YEAR, TYPE, LOCATION, COST, COLOUR, SIZE
criteria are stored in txtbox1, txtbox 2 etc. so the search string could be
WHERE cbo1 = txtbox1 AND cbo2 = txtbox2 etc.
If the user doesn't choose anything for a combo, the search should ignore that field.
Forms :: Combo Boxes That Contain Data From One Table
Jul 24, 2013I have two combo boxes that contain data from one table.
table has two fields: Name and ID
cboName
cboID
I would like both combo boxes to update each other.
Example if start typing in the cboName box it fills in after update I would like the cboID to be updated with the correct value and vise versa if i start typing the ID in the cboID box when selected the cboName should be updated.
example table
ID NAME
1 joe
2 jane
3 mark
So if i type in or select 1 in the ID combo box it should put 'joe' in the Name combo box.
Or if i type in or select jane in the NAME combo box it should put '2' in the ID box.
I have read how to cascade combo boxes but that is not what i think i need.
I am using a Access 2010 web database.

Mar 14, 2014there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
Forms :: Search Form Using Both Combo Boxes And Check Boxes
Jun 5, 2014I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change()
Me.Requery
Me.cboCourseName.Requery
Me.Check178.Requery

Forms :: Updating A Table Field Using Unbound Text Boxes
Mar 26, 2013I have a form that contains a combo box (cboEmployeeName) that pulls data from a query and populates three text boxes (Work Area, Last Name, First Name), This part works fine. Because the text boxes are being populated by the Combo box, they are not bound to the record source tblTrainingSchedule). I need the info that is in the text boxes to populate the respective fields in the record source.
I tested by adding "=tblTrainingSchedule!WorkArea=[cboEmployeeName].Column(3)" (column 3 is the work area) to the "after update" control but it does not populate the data.

Table Combo Boxes
Jun 23, 2005I have a table that has 2 fields. One field referes to data in another (using combo box pointing to a DEPARTMENT table). When a value is selected I want the next field to only choose the values that refer to that department sub classifacations. In other words.
If I have 3 departments and 5 job classifacationd in each department. When I select a department I only want the choice of the 5 job classifactions to be listed.
I have the DEPARTMENT table and the JOB CLASSIFACATION tables linked correctly. If you look at the DEPARTMENT table you see the + isign on the left and if you select the + sign you can see all the JOB CLASSIFACATIONS listed.
My problem is that I can get the DEPARTMENT column to list the departments, but when you choose one and go to the JOB CLASSIFACATIONS I either see all 15 job classifactions or a text box asking me for the department, or nothing at all.
I was able to create a Form to do this, but I can't figuer out how to put this in a table so that I can make it useful and link it to an employee.
I have wasted too much time and am in over my head. Need some real help.
Thanks very much,

Forms :: Value To Put In Textbox For Field In Same Table As Combo Box Selection
Jul 8, 2014I have a form frmCrisisSupportWorkers with a tab control on the form. On the first tab, Personal Info there is a combo box called cboLocation. It is next to the Town/City.
I have a text box that updates the postcode after the selection is made below it but that is as the post codes are stored in the combo box and I just put the column for the postcode in the control source of the text box.
I can't do that for state as I have it stored in another table and use a numeric identifier to show which state is selected.
I want to have a text box below that auto updates the state once a town is selected but I can't seem to get it working.

Forms :: Couple Of Forms With Combo Boxes That Look Up Data In Queries
Sep 4, 2013I have a couple forms with Combo boxes that look up data in queries. I noticed in testing that I could accidently type a "~" (and other characters) in the field and once I do, it causes a runtime error that shuts down the entire app (as opposed to letting the user backspace out of it or resetting the field). Before I put in some "Before Update" code to prevent the system from crashing, I want to make sure I am on the right track. I have already set the combo box to just show the list, not allow edits, limit to list, etc. Is there a way to prevent the user from doing this either by preventing the keyboard from working on combo boxes (not preferred) or by trapping it before the system crashes? I would think I could validate with a recordset, and create my own path out for the user, but I was hoping the combo box would have sort of done that work for me.

Mar 14, 2005Hi,
How do i use a combo box to list all the records from a particular field so that when you select a item from the list it then populates other text boxes on the form relating to that particular record?
For example, if i have a customer table and i have 100 records. I want to put all the names in a combo box and when you select one it displays all the other information in text boxes (such as address, tel No, email address...etc).

Forms :: How To Look Up A Value Using Three Combo Boxes
Jun 4, 2015In the red circled tables, I'd like to use the PK from tblJewelryType, tblCollection, tblDesignName to look up the PK from tblJewelryInventory from three combo boxes on the form.
Each combination of those three PK's may have multiple "subtypes" in tblInventoryLink.
I'm trying to build a form that will be set up so after I select those three combo boxes, the subform for tblInventoryLink is narrowed down to only the specific subtypes that are available.
Do I have to make these cascading for me to accomplish my goal?
Cascading Combo Boxes From Same Table
Mar 14, 2005Checked the FAQ on this but doesn't apply to what I need.
Basically, I have a Product Class, and Products that are in the class. My database is for a computer component business, so the clsses are Processors, Mainboard etc.. and the products that fit into that class. The Class and products are listed in the Products table, and I need a way to have it on my subform, so I can choose the product class from one combo box, and then have another combo box to view the products in that class.
Right now I have it :
SELECT DISTINCT Products.[Product Number], Products.[Product Description] FROM Products
and that lets me select ALL the items in my products list, but I also have a Product Class Combo in the form that does nothing yet - So I thought adding :
WHERE (((Products.Product Class)=(!FORMS![Orders Subform1]![Product Class])) ORDER BY Products.Product Class
To the end would sort it, but it doesn't and gives me the error : "Syntax Error (Missing Operator) in query expression"
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
James.
