I'm a newbie with Access, how to reorder the displaying of the columns in a Combo Box dropdown list of have in my Access 2007 application.
The columns that are being displayed are (in the current order):
Part Name
Unit Price
Parts.Web_Category
I want the order to be the following:
Parts.Web_Category
Part Name
Unit Price
I have a working combo box on a form that displays issue numbers for part number typed into a text box.This all works fine when the list of issue numbers is below the displayed list (16), but when the list is longer than 16 you cannot seem to select anything after item 16.
When the combo box has, say 25 items a scroll bar appears allowing the user to scroll down to item 25, but when you click the mouse the list just reverts back to the first 16 items? The only way to select an item after 16 is to select item 16 which then closes the combo box, then when you reopen it the list now shows items 17 to 25 which you can then select item 25.
This is the same in reverse, when you have item 25 selected, you cannot select item 1. When you click the mouse the list reverts back to items 17 - 25.The combo box is populated in code using the lost focus event on the text box for the part number.
I have a form where I have two drop down list box.The first list box is called Transaction_Type. It contains three values: Created, Allocated and Sold
The second list box is called Product_Status. It contains 6 items: Allocated, Produced, Reworked, Shipped, To Be Produced, Unallocated.
I have a products form. When a user created more inventory they will selected in the drop down list create, then a quantity. Then I would like the status of the product to update to "Unallocated".
When the user placed an order but doesn't finish it they will choose the status of the inventory to be allocated so I would like the product status to be updated to allocated automatically.
They other status the user will choose them self and do not need to be linked to each other.
In my vba code I have tried with the OnClick and AfterUpdate sub procedures with the following code.
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Created" Then
Me.Product_Status.Value = "Unallocated"
End If
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Allocated" Then
Me.Product_Status.Value = "Allocated"
End If
Yes when i select "created" from the drop down list it does not change product_status to say "unallocated"

With Access 2000, for the On Focus event, typing Me!MyCombobox.Dropdown displays the entries in the drop down list. With 2007 the list appears momentarily and then disappears. Is there a way to keep the list from disappearing
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box in the header area. The record source, Bound Column are set correctly ( I know because I tested it on a form ). In this instance, the user would select from the dropdown list, the name of a member of staff, based on the click-event, and passing the Staff_ID to a variable, this would be used to filter a recordset/recordsource for the report. However, there is no dropdown ( or arrow on combo - so no name can be selected ) ?

The first one is for the equipment and the second one is for the different types of parts that has to be replaced or fixed.
Not all of the equipment uses all of the listed parts, but some parts are used on more than one type of equipment.
I have already created a database that lists all the equipment and another one that lists all the parts.
What I want to do now is create a Yes/No box for each type of equipment so I can mark which parts is used by which equipment.
Then you must be able to select the type of equipment from a dropdown list and then select from a dropdown list that only has the parts that is used by the piece of equipment.

I am trying to put a DROPDOWN LIST BOX in a access 2003 form, NOT a combo box. I only need this so I can disallow users from manually entering data into the combo box by typing it in. I want them only to be able to choose it from a list. I think that a LISTBOX is the only way to do this, other that using a straight list box, which would use too much room. However I cannot find any way to add this to a form. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Todd
I have a drop-down list that when a person's first name is selected then it will fill in the person's middle and last name. Is it possible to use a name that is frequently used as the default so that it is always filled in on the form? More specifically, how will it work so that the other fields (middle name and last name) will also be filled in with the default first name? Or is this not possible to do?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box that I normally type the start of a Surname and it auto drops down from underlying database ID is now show in col count, only 1st two.
Surname Name ID
jones/k kelly 33333
smith/m max 12345
smith/m monty 98765
white/t tom 55555
smith/m will short list to the two above, I can mouse click or arrow down to the 2nd one Press enter & its knowa the corresponding ID (= surname.Column(2)) and goes to the correct record.
What I am trying to do, is from another part of my program, eg an incoming email with the corresponding Surname, Name & ID Automatically go to this main booking form, auto enter surname "smith/m" - which is fine, the list shortens but It goes to the first matching on the list, ie max.
Is there a way to get it to go to monty using the ID 98765 which is unique.
Perhaps an odd request but actually nice to book each time through this same main form, I actually also want it to do the same from incoming phone calls, It can get the unique ID ok but can see a way for the combo box to jump to the correct & only row from underlying register.
Bit worried about trying to change the underlying select statement that the combo seems to be based on, perhaps this is the way forward but not sure how to do this & don;t want to risk messing the most important & already functioning well normal entry style.
I have a subform inside a form and in this subform I have an Ordering field which orders the items in the form based on this field. In the After Update event of this box I use Me.Requery so that you can actually see the change of the order in the items. The problem is that after requering the form the selector goes to the first item of the form.
Is it possible some way to keep the selector to the same item after the requery takes place?
Access 2010
I have a form bound to a table which has 20 (name)fields and 1 date per record. A user fills in this form first to indicate which people are present this day. I know it would be better to use 1 name per record but that would in this case not work since the form must show all names for that day before saving and closing.
I have a different form where I use 4 combo boxes and a date field. The values that can be selected in the combo boxes should come from the 20 names on the first form and with the same date as the other form. So only 4 people of the 20 indicated as present on that day can be selected to have performed some task.
I know how to select with a combo box from different records, but how would I do it from different fields in the same record? And then also for a particular date?
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237"
If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
I have 30+ columns each table I need to change into sum of.. but its default is group by, and need to change multiple columns to sum - rather than manually each one..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following query which returns 2 columns, where 2 fields are summed :-
Code:
SELECT Sum(Stats.[No of Invoices Checked]) AS [SumOfNo of Invoices Checked], Sum(Stats.[No of Incorrect invoices]) AS [SumOfNo of Incorrect invoices]
FROM Stats
WHERE (((Stats.Period)=[Forms]![frmMain]![cboSingleMonth].[Value]));
This displays :-
345 - 988
How can I have the data displayed as
345
988
when I run the query.
I have a table of data (codes & amounts) which I want to display on a form via a list box (purely for information purposes; the list box will be locked / disabled). Basically, the list box will mimic a pivot table as it would appear in Excel, albeit without any of the filtering functionality.Codes can appear multiple times in the source table, each with a different value assigned to it.
The list box should have 3 columns :the unique code strings
the number of instances of that code string (i.e. Count)
the total value assigned to that code string (i.e. Sum)
In descending order based on the number of instances of each code
I have the following query set up to pull the data :
Quote:
SELECT tblData.Code AS Expr1, Count(*) AS CodeCount, Sum(tmp.Amount) AS CodeSum
FROM (SELECT Code, Amount FROM tblData) AS tmp
GROUP BY tblData.Code
ORDER BY Count(*) DESC;
I want the 3rd column of the listbox (the summed value) to appear as a formatted $ amount rather than a raw floating point. So "$10,000" rather than "10000.00". And, if at all possible, right aligned.But I have no way of formatting the columns of the list box (that I am aware of) either through the listbox properties directly or by VBA indirectly.Is there another way I can do this, either by applying the formatting to the query itself or any other trick to somehow apply the formatting as I need it?
I have created a list that has 5 column. Data is filled in list using a query. I know how to remove 2 columns, but I do not know how to increase the width of columns.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.

I am very new to Microsoft Access, and hope somebody can help me. Apologies for what I am sure is an easy subject - but I dont know what keywords to search on!
Basically, I need to have a drop list of say 5 different products. Now depending on the product will lead to different field boxes (say each product has 15 fields, 10 which are the same, but 5 which are unique to each product). I basically want the form to change dependent upon the product type. As I say I am very sketchy on this, so feel free to treat my like an idiot! If anyone could give me a hint as to what help topic this relates to, or give me a brief overview of what to do, that would be very much appreciated. The information will be downloaded from an ODBC if that makes any difference.
Many thanks in advance

I'm trying to set up a database of books in a small library - each book has a prefix (Maths, English, Art etc) which I want users to be able to pick from a drop down list - I can do this, but the next field is a sub-category - is there a way of populating the dropdown list for the sub-category field depending on the chosen entry in the prefix field. eg if maths was chosen I would like the user to have the choice of number area, volume etc. but a different choice if the prefix was English.
any help very gratfully received - it seems to be a simple problem but it has me stumped.
