Forms :: Job Plan - Create A Multi-value Field
Aug 16, 2014
I have a Job Plan form containing a selector that chooses a system number from another table. I want to (inside the same form) look in a third table that ties system numbers to equipment items (one system has multiple items of equipment) and generate a list box displaying those equipment items. I think I know how to do that bit.
I then want the user to be able to multi-select from the list and somehow to save those selections against the Job Plan number.Is the best way to do this to create a multi-value field in the Job Plan table and store them in there?
From what I read, the best way is to create a join table between Job Plans and Equipment Items, but I'm not quite sure how to connect the selected items in a list box to that - is there some sort of obvious way to do that?

This is what the search box must do:
- Searches 3 fields (StudentID, FirstName, LastName) and jumps to the relevant record.
The closer to the search box in the navigation bar below, the better, so this is what I would really like too.
- A repeat click would take me to the next result/record (if any) with the same criteria
- Instant search as soon as I start typing

Every time I mentioned multi-value fields I get the same input, don't use them. So I am trying to replace this field with a junction table. This will have multiple records for each record in the original subform. The only problem is that the original subform is set to continuous view and now I get the error that "you can't view a form as a continuous form if it contains a subform".

I have a main form with multiple sub-forms (each a separate tab). Having imported the fields from the equivalent tables, none of the multi-value combo box fields on the sub-forms work as they do not show anything. I tried implementing one on the main form (to test) and it worked fine. What am I doing wrong with the sub-forms fields?

My Db has a master table with a two-field primary key.
I have a main form, based on a query that primarily grabs data from that table.
The form has a subform based on a table which is the "many" side of a one-to-many relationship with the master table. I'm having a problem adding individual records to the subform.
The subform is linked via Master/child fields to the main form, but only on one of the two fields comprising the PK. When I add a new record in the sub it does not pull the PK data to the FK fields in the sub table and I suspect it is because of only having one of them properly linked.
The subform relates to an annual certification process that we track with vendors. The sub-table is populated each year with the two FK values for all qualifying vendors in one go. If I then need to add a single certification record for a single vendor I want to have a button on the subform that will pull the values from the main form fields, and ask the user for the cert year.
I tried adding a new record in vba via
Code:
Private Sub btnAddSingleRec_Click()
Forms!frmMainForm!subfrmCurrentProcess.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryAddSingleCert"
with the query being an Update query with the following in the Update To line and "Is Null" in criteria:
Forms!Mainform!PKField1
Forms!Mainform!PKField2
[Enter Cert Year]
This doesn't throw an error, but the Access warnings say I'm updating 0 Rows.

Trying to use some code to 'Select All' from a 'Check Box Drop Down' Multi Value Field . The table field size is long integer.
When trying to "Select All" the code returns a RTE 3163 "This field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data".
Private Sub cmdSelectAll_Click()
Dim SelVals, i
ReDim SelVals(0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1)
For i = 0 To lkupAssignedTo.ListCount - 1
SelVals(i) = lkupAssignedTo.Column(1, i)
Next i
lkupAssignedTo.Value = SelVals
End Sub
Not my code, but just something I have found and trying to adapt. Tried changing the field sizes but no luck. Maybe something to do with declaring variables perhaps??

I have a filter on a form : There is a text box (txtSearchP) where the user will enter their search term then click button to apply the filter:
Private Sub cmdSearchP_Click()
' Filter by Programme Description
Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub
This works fine but actually I want to search two fields for the text entered in txtSearchP [Programme_Desc] OR [Programme]
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
Private Sub cmdSearchP_Click()
' Filter by Programme Code and Description
Me.Filter = [Programme_Desc] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*" OR [Programme] Like "*" & Me.txtSearchP & "*"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
End Sub
I know I could give the users two text boxes and two Buttons one for each and this would work but I don't want the form to be cluttered.

I doing a db that is supposed to show the development plan of some persons.
2 tables:
graduates
departments
in the graduates table there are among other data about the graduates, four fields for their departments in the next year.
i have called them:
rotation 1
rotation 2
rotation 3
rotation 4
these rotations should be choosed from the departments table, so i have created a lookup dropdown list in these fields.
now i want to show a query that shows a list of all the departments with the linked graduates. something like this:
Rot 1: Rot 2: Rot 3: Rot 4:
dep 1: Ben John - James
dep 2: James Ben John -
dep 3: - - James -
dep 4: John - Ben -
dep 5: - - - John
dep 6: - James - Ben
'-' = meaning empty field (onley for illustration in this forum)
My question is how i set up the links between the tables to create a query that show this.
Thank you.

I have a form where a user can select from a listbox (pulled from a database) and "Add product" - it then goes into a Textbox, each taking a new line when "Add product" button pressed. Then when they press "Add Customer" those details along with other entered details gets stored in my Customer Database..
The textbox store multi-line entries in the "ProductName" field heading in database.
Is there anyway i can use a List instead of the textbox? Adding individual entries to one certain customer? I have an EDIT facility aswell so would be easier to have a "Remove Product" button instead of manually backspacing a whole product entry from another textbox (containing all products, on new lines).

I have a form that uses a multi select combo boxes. When more than one person is in the database, if a user is updating any of the multi select combo boxes, it locks out other users from making changes to those fields on different records. Looking for solution so that every user in the database can make changes to those multi select fields on their own specific records?

I have a multi-select listbox (called PotentialItems) which behaves perfectly unless one of the fields has a null value in it, in which case I get an error 13, "Type mismatch" in the following code. It is valid business-wise for column 9 to be null.
Code:
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim dblTargetPrice As Double
With Me.PotentialItems
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
If Not IsNull(varItem) Then
dblTargetPrice = Nz(.Column(9, varItem), 0) '<----- Error here
End If
Next
End With

I want to use VBA to hide columns in a subform based on what is checked in a multi value look up field.
I am creating this DB for use with sharepoint as a web database, which is why I am using the lookup field to begin with. There will be a client DB to use with some VBA code
So what I have is a lookup field with tests "Test 1, Test 2, etc" on form sample.
There is a subform called results, and I want to hide certain columns based on what tests are performed.
I tried using an If Then statement (code is being run on subform load)
If Me.Parent.fieldTest = "Test 1" Then
Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = False
Else Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = True
That is basically the code I was trying to use. I am getting an error 13, which I assume is because fieldTest can not = something since it is a multi value look up field.

Im trying to create a Data Base that will allow me to keep a track of a score for Shearing Competitions.....the main aim is for the judge judging the sheep having no idea who shore it therefore no cheating can occor. Need one Table for pens (each shearer has a pen allocated to him with a certain number of sheep that have eartags with a number identifying each one). The sheep is shorn and let out the back were the judge identifys the sheep to the person inputing the data and the score without the shearers name being reveiled.
Ok now this is were I am lost I need to be able to create a report run of a query reveiling the shearers name and score for each sheep he has shorn in the heats, would be simple if I could link the table (shearers) to the table keeping scores, sheep ID etc but then they would know the shearer who shore the sheep, bring it back to square one.
If anyone has a idea on how to get around this please it would be appreciated.
Im only a basis Access user and dont know much Visual Basic.
Regards Dave.

I've read instructions for making a multi-user Access 2007 database. Summary is:
1) Split the database
2) Put back-end part of the split onto shared drive
3) Make copy of front-end of the split and give to each user of the database
4) Open Tools, Options, Advanced Tab. Set the default open mode to shared and the default record locking to edited record. While in options area, go to general tab and turn off compact on close and name autocorrect.
These instructions were posted by an Ms-Access MVP.My questions is about step 4. How do these settings get saved to the particular database that I am trying to make multi-user? None of these settings are in the Current Database Tab for Ms-Access 2007. Since they are in the general tab, does that mean all database I open with my copy of Ms-Access will take on these multi-user settings?

Is there any way it would be possible to have a number automatically created using NZ() or DMax function; based on certain criteria and also when creating the number preventing a duplicate number creation in the even of a simultaneous record creation?
Here's my example:
I have a CCN Number (Currently the employee manually types it in; and it is the primary key. What I would like is to take out the human element (error possibilities) and let access create it for the employee.
Here is how the CCN looks and the breakdown of each section (the important part's will be the first 3 sets of numbers):
96-06-184-100-000
96 = Region Code
06 = Current Year
184 = Julian Calendar Date (based on the receipt date field)
100 = Filler number based on day of the week (Eg. Monday = 100, Tuesday =
200, etc.)
000 = Filler numbers (Should always be Zero's (000)
I need to find away to pull this information from a table of some sort and combine it to create the CCN and to then add 1 (incriment) to the 4th set of numbers. Example 100 (1st record of the day) 101, 102, 103, etc.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You guys are awsome!
Is there anyway to use Like in queries where the user could type in more than one word?
I have a text box (search title), on a form (Search).
On after update the text box, opens a query.
The criteria in the query for the Title field is:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![search title] & "*"
this works great for one word or phrase.
I would like the user to be able to type in 2 words, and have the query find all the records where the first word is in the Title, and where the second word is in the Title. And so on with 3 words or more.

Is it possible to create a query that asks for multi entries in one column .....
For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....

create a datasheet from 2 odbc linked tables which I will be exporting to Excel. The resulting datasheet will have four columns, 'Purchase Order Number' 'Stock Code' 'Delivery Date' 'Unit Price'. The information I require in the datasheet is a unique stock code (one occurrence of each stock code) with the most recent unit price based on the last delivery date for each product. The linked tables contain many Purchase Orders for the same stock codes over a time period of a number of years where the unit price has varied.

I created a database of "My Cars", "Television", and "Wines" and a Trouble Reports(TR) for each. I have a field TR on each and for now a user can fill it up with number i.e first TR is 1, second Tr is 2 etc etc. I want it automatically filled automatically not manually. However, I want it to do the same for "Television" and "Wines" when I write Trs on them. I am a rookie and I dont know how to do it I attached a copy of the db I created.

I have a form with checkboxes, indicating fields which can be selected for a query. The strSQL variable works fine, and I can use QUERYDEF to create a query from the variable.
I wonder if it is possible to generate a form to display only the fields chosen - i.e. I don't want a general form with all fields, with only the chosen ones displaying data. Instead, if I select only 5 of the 10 fields, I want the form only to show those 5 fields.
Creating textboxes for each field, and using the .visible property, but then I would have lots of gaps on the form.
I hoped it might be possible to use a loop with a value set something like
For i = 1 to fieldcount
textbox(i).recordsource = selectedfld(i)
'somehow know where to place the textbox!?!!
