I am new to access. In a form, I have a combo box(combo1) that store values in field(remarks1) in a table.The values in combo box are:
SL
ST
DI
SL + ST
SL + DI
These all values are being saved in remarks1 quiet easily. I have more fields in the table:
SL1
ST1
DT1
SLST1
SLDI1
I want when I selet SL from combo1 it saves SL in remarks1 and save "1" as well in SL1 field.I want to have same result with all five combo1 values
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
Hi, in my database I have a 7 subforms that shows fields for daily tasks for each day of the week. On the Monday, the tasks are assigned and then stored for every record for the corresponding date. The process is done again on tuesday, then wednesday etc. However, often the daily tasks for say tuesday will be very similar (sometimes the same) to that of monday's.
Therefore is there a way to set the default values for each day as the previous days tasks and then alter them if needed?
Thanks for helping!:o
I hope the title actually conveys what I'd like to do.
I want to assign records on a subform to a group header on a form. For example, I have groups A, B, C, and D and I want the records on a subform to be assigned to groups A, B, and D. (The number of groups and their names will change so I can't simply use an "A," "B," "C" option box.) My idea is to have a Multi-Select List Box on the main form and choose all the groups to which the records on the subform need to belong. So I'd select the groups, enter the records on the subform, then create a another record on the master form and assign records to another group.
Is it possible to make this happen without a lot of programming?
We will have around 100 people attending a program that will be broken into 7 (A-G) evenly. I would like to be able to have my database do this but I am unsure of where to start on this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table (tblPrinterSelection) with three fields: Autonumber, DocType, PrinterSel
There are three types of values for "DocType"; "Document", "LargeLabel", "SmallLabel"
I want to assign a "PrinterSel" to each type of "Doctype", which basically means that the user selects the type of document and then the printer in a form that has the code below and then I need the code to automatically update the table.
Code:
Dim PrintSel As String
Dim DocType As String
'Assign a value to the printer selected variable
PrintSel = Me.lblPrinterSelected.Caption
If IsNull(Me.frmDocType) Then
MsgBox "No document type selected."
[code]....
What i am looking for is code that would pick the value for "DocType" and "PrintSel" assigned here and add them to the table so that I can use that info later.
I am only looking to have three rows in that table so if the "DocType" does not exist then a new row is created but if it does, only the value of "PrintSel" is updated.
I should end up with something like this:
1 Document Epson
2 LargeLabel HP
3 SmallLabel Canon
How can I do this?
I have a main form that filters data in a subform based on selections via combo box users make on the main form.
So I have the 'department' and 'manager's name'. If someone selects 'Human Resources' from 'department' combo box, then I only want to see the managers that are in the Human Resources departement when I drop down the combo box for 'manager's name'. Currently I'm seeing all the managers and a user can select a manager that is not in human resources and get no data returned. I prefer for him to get a list of those that are in that department only. The source of the combo box is a query.
I got it! Found here: [URL] ....
I am writing some iif conditional statements in one of my tables to assign new values in that table.
Code:
FP: IIf([cohort with status].[Intake Date] Between #04/01/2012# And #26/04/2012#,201201) Or IIf([cohort with status].[Intake Date] Between #27/04/2012# And #24/05/2012#,201202)
When I run it, I am getting some -1 values in the new column FP.
but if I get rid of the second IIF, then it works.
how do you combine multiple IIF statements in a query?
I have a problem in doing a task with my form. Actually I have a button to add a new record which opens a new form there i enter the values to the record.

I have a question concerning combo boxes and the best way to implement them. When creating a field in a table I can choose to set the lookup for the field as a combo box and it will allow the use of a combo box in the table. I could also leave it alone and use a form with a combo box on it. My question is which method is better, or are there particular situations where one is preferred?
I can only think that using a combo straight from a table is good if you plan editing data via the table. If data entry is only to take place through the form then I see no need to set the combo box value on the table.
Me!ComboName.DefaultValue = Me!ComboName.ItemData(0)
this assigns the first value in the combo box to the default.
can this be changed to always assign the last possible record in the list as the default.
I have a combo box linked to table shipstatus. This table has 2 columns. ShipCode and ShipName. These values are delivered, on hand, received, returned, warehouse.
I have another table named manifestdetails and a column labeled shipstatus
I would like to create a form where the user can use the combobox selections from the table shipstatus and update the column shipstatus from the manifestdetails table.
In my subform, I have a field named Container Type (I know you don't need to tell me about Reserve names for Access, but I can't change the names) where when you choose one of the values (a combo box), the values for a second field (Container Code) changes (another combo box) based on the first selection. Then, based on the selection from the second field five other fields are automatically filled in.

I'd like to create a combo-box in a database which takes its values from a field in a table in another db. Both of the dbs are on my computer.
How can I do that?
I've used this guide [URL] .... to only show unique values in a combo box. I can't get it to work, it just shows a load of blank values. If I run the expression builder part from the background, it works but it doesn't work in the combo box. Not sure what I can post to give more details?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a form that has a combobox with table names in it. I want to execute a very complicated SQL statement but I want to put the table name (from the combobox) into the SQL statement. I'm planning on making a button to do this, but I don't know how to put the SQL statement in VBS which would use the combobox value as the table name in the SQL statement.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have built a database that is fed from tables provided from outside computer systems, so the architecture isn't exactly how I would design it.
I am trying to use a combo box on a form to quickly jump to a specific department. I have about 130 personnel that are assigned to 10 different departments. I have to use a subform to update the position info vs. the personal info.
The combo box works, but I can't get it to display each department once. It shows the department 130 times for each employee instead of 10 unique departments.
I have a form with two combo boxes. The first box lists switch names from a query, and the second lists switchports from another query. The switchport query lists all the switchports for whatever switch is selected in the Switch Name combo box, and all the settings for that port (one column per setting). I want each text box to display the corresponding data from the switchport query for the switch selected in the first combo box and the switchport selected in the second combo box.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAm I correct in thinking the only way to have a combo box with different values in each column is to create a table and then bind the combo box to the column you are referring to if you want it to represent a value from another.
For example if I have a combo box with the words January, February etc can that combo box have a corresponding month number value in a separate column (this combo would be derived from a list) or would I need to create a table holding both the month names and numbers and then bind to the name value for selection but use the month number value?
The reason I ask is I wasn't sure if for every type of list I wanted with multiple column values, I would need to create a table.
I've got a form (frmMain) with two combo boxes (cmbCategory and cmbProducts). I have set the combo boxes up to be cascading, so that when you select a value in the cmbCategory box, it influences what is visible and selectable in the cmbProducts box. What I wanted to happen is this:
1. User selects a category
2. cmbProducts defaults to the most recently entered Product within that category, and the form pulls up that product's details.
I have the cascading combo boxes set up so cmbCategory has an AfterUpdate event that runs a macro. In the macro is the command to refresh the cmbProducts box, and the cmbProducts box's RecordSource is set to a query that filters the Products based on the value of the cmbCategory box. I then set the cmbProducts Default Value to a DMax command that pulls the largest ID number from the query. Everything works great, except when I choose one category (the correct product comes up, the latest one entered for that product), then go back and choose a different category without reloading the form. The cmbProducts box stays showing the previous Product, and doesn't automatically update with the latest product for the new category. So it works the first time out of the gate, then just stops working, and won't work until I close and reopen the form again.
I've tried the refresh command, and I've tried adding an AfterChange event to the cmbCategories box. Nothing seems to work! I also tried running a close form/open form command in cmbProducts' After Update to enable the DMax command again, but this blanks out my Categories and Products boxes (which it's supposed to... I don't want anything to come up when you first open the form, both should be blank until you start selecting values).
I'm trying to sort and filter a continuous form. I want to sort by descending and ascending, but I also want to have a combo box for filtering. For example, there a combo box for sorting with Value List as the RowSourceType, the list would be "Ascending" and "Descending", and there should be another combo box to choose the field to be sorted with RowSourceType as Field List from a query.
My field names are: "LastName", "FirstName", "MiddleName". But I want them to appear as "Last Name:, "First Name", "Middle Name". I want to be able to change the display of the field names within my combo box which should come from my query. How is that possible? I already tried to put caption in the properties but it didn't work.
I am having issues with my combo box populating values based on the selection from another combo box.
Database : contains 2 tables: Staff_List, Level_Type and a form called frm_Test
The first combobox cboLevel gets its value from the Level_Type table with the select statement SELECT [Level_Type].[ID], [Level_Type].[Level_Type] FROM level_Type;
The values to be displayed on the second combobox cbo_Name is expected to be dependent on the Level selection made from the first combobox i.e if Level 1 is selected in cboLevel then only Names of people in Level 1 will be displayed in second combobox.
The select statement I put there is SELECT Staff_List.ID, Staff_List.Staff_Name
FROM Staff_List
WHERE ((([Staff_List]![Level])=[Forms]![frm_test]![cboLevel]));
This is not displaying anything in the second combobox after I tried it in the Form view, just empty.

The database I'm working on stores product records. To support the user narrow down which product they want to use, the navigation form has a listbox that looks to several combox values to filter the records it displays. As the user selects values for additional comboxes, the list of products from the listbox is refined. What I would like to do is set the comboxes up so that they also have to check the listbox to determine which records they should display.
For example:
Comboxes: Customer, Species
Starting out the listbox shows all products. The user wants to find a particular product that is sold to "Harly Quinn's Crab Imporium". They select "Harly Quinn's Crab Imporium" from the customer combobox. The listbox updates to show only products sold to Harly Quinn. The database currently has this functionality. What I want to add comes next:
The user determines that there are still too many records being displayed in the listbox, so he/she attempts to refine the search further by selecting a species from the species combobox. Currently all species from the species table are selectable from the species combobx, meaning that if the user selects a species that isn't sold to Harly Quinn, that the listbox will show no records. What I would like the combobox to do is refer first to the listbox and determine which species are still viable options based on the records available from the listbox.
Field B is a combo with the options of : 100% Availability, 75% Availability, 50% Availability, 25% Availability, OR Not Available
If I choose "Present" in Field A, I want the "Not Available" value to disappear as an option.
I have a multiple column combo box on my form, that is correctly populating. When I make a selection, it displays the result from the first column. Bound column seems correct, as my table is being populated correctly.
1 - Can I display the values from both columns after the selection has been made?
2 - If not, can I choose to display the second column (not the first) after the user has made a selection?
