I have a form where the user will choose a contact name or names from a multivalue combobox and I want the email address field to update with the corresponding emails separated by "; ".
View RepliesI 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.
how I can set multiple default values in a ComboBox in a form. The ComboBox is based on a table and my main table also uses the ComboBox.
Example:
Main table has a column "Brands". The ComboBox is based on another table which includes the following items (and thus the ComboBox also shows them):
- CocaCola
- Fanta
- Sprite
The form has the same ComboBox which is linked to the main table.
Now, if a user creates a new form entry, all ComboBox items should be preselected (checked). It does work with one item over the standard "Default" property.
I have a data base with names, email IDs, phone numbers of 5 types(example quality, security, IT,finance etc) of person from ten different project teams. I created a basic form for the end user to enter values and created fields for each of the person's name, email ID etc based on the personal type( liek quality, IT, finance etc) on each team. The background table contains records of almost 200 people now.
All of these people will be trained for one task and some will be trained for multiple tasks. I know how to make the combo box allow multiple values/selections but, i cannot list out all 200 personal names in the combobox's rowsource/value list. Is it possible to combine all different name fields and list out all personal(of one team), so that the end user can just select multiple names for that team who have been trained and so on. i need to set the rowsource of the combobox to the values of all personal from one team so the team leader can just go select who has been trained and who has not.
I have an issue with a couple of my combo boxes. When in form mode the drop down menu displays a list of options (taken from my source table), this is fine, but the problem is that it allows the user to select more than one of the options in the form of checkboxes. This is not what I intended.
I've attached to pictures to demonstrate the problem. The first is ComboBoxQuery (the one with the problem) and the second is ComboBoxQueryWorkign (the one without a problem).
I'm not sure why this is happening and I've tried comparing all the properties of both these combo boxes and changing some of them to see if I can eliminate the problem without any joy.
I use a very standard SELECT statement to pull the data for the combo box:
SELECT CountryID, CountryName FROM tblCountryInfo ORDER By CountryName
Ok, i have a form in wich i want to set the parameters to a query.
On the search button it will open another form to display the data.
i used this code stLinkCriteria = "[ID]=" & Me![id] And "[status]=" & "'" & Me![sta] & "'
the 1st value for status is "active"
it returns a msgbox asking the value of the parameter and a field to input the data.
I can't understant whats wrong....
Private Sub CardName_AfterUpdate()
Me.Purchasing = Me.CardName.Column(2)
Me.Selling = Me.CardName.Column(3)
End Sub
I get value of Column(2) in Purchasing textbox but in Selling textbox not why?
Currently we track areas of non-conformance for a fleet of flight simulators. Each flight simulator has a particular ID number. In some instance an area of non-conformance is associated with a single simulator, at other times it is a fleet wide issue and applies to all or some simulators. In order to track as well as advise leadership and the contractor responsible for maintenance of the simulators of the situation we generate individual response letters.
In order to track each instance of non-conformance my idea was to create a new record for each deficiency. In the event that it is applicable to multiple simulators I would like to fill out the form with all pertinent data and then place a checkbox associated with each simulator and when the record is saved, it creates one record for each simulator with a checkbox ticked.
Once the deficiency on each simulator is fixed, I would check a box for a field called rescinded, which would remove that particular deficiency on that particular simulator from the active list of deficiencies but the others would still remain because they are associated with unique records.
I need to enter workload counts for 10 people, and it is done on a monthly basis. So I have a table of Months (Jan-Dec), a table of names, and a joined table with the months, names and a field for the workload counts.
I would like to make a form where I could select the month and all the names show up so I could go and enter the counts for everyone at the same time. I've attached a diagram to show what it would look like
I have a form design where to enter a new "system" (what we call a new group of members) you have to specify the representative (the member that will represent the system).
If the system is new AND the representative is new, then both need to be entered. Typically this will be done through the "New System" form that has a combo box for you to choose the representative (but the representative won't be there!). If the representative is new as well, then the user clicks "Add New Rep" which is located next to the combo box.
This is where things get tricky, I'd like to use only 1 form to load a new rep. My idea was to use an openarg on the docmd.openform method that specifies what the control should be.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "RepresentativeAddNew_Form", , , , , , "System_ID|" & Me.System_ID
That is the code that is called when the user click "Add new rep" and in the on load event I have this code:
Code:
'Use this version if the ID is text
Dim x As Variant
Dim strControl As String
Dim strID As Long
'If parameters exist, use them
[Code] ....
My goal was to pass the value to the combobox and turn it off, that way they can't change anything about it. This was nice because if the openargs is null (there were none passed) then the combo box would be enabled and the user could select the school that way.
But this doesn't work, for some reason, the combo box has NOTHING done to it (I have the control name correct).
Is this due to the way comboboxes work? Or am I missing something?
I should point out that the on-load event was not my idea, I found that online but makes perfect sense. I was trying something similar but was trying to use global variables because I wasn't aware that OpenArgs was a valid control!
I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate()
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable"
Else
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable"
End If
End If
End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I have one dialog form which can receive values from multiple forms.
For each form i can build a popup dialog version but that's to much time in administration later on.
The best thing is if i Can declare a variable from the source form and pass it to the target control box in the dialog form.
I tried many ways but currently it's not working.
Maybe you've got example code for me.
Thanks
Ok this is probably easy for you guys but my knowledge of access is limited.
I have two forms - Find Job and Notes
On the Find Job form I have a text box called 'Job No' and a combo box called 'Status' that I have coded to open Notes if certain conditions are met. The code is
Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate()
If Status.Value = "WIP - Snagged" Or Status.Value = "WIP - Suspended" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "Notes", , , acFormAdd
End If
What I need is to be able to pass the value of the 'Job no' text box on the Find Job form to the 'Job No' text box on the Notes form.
Many thanks in advance

I have "LossForm" to record loss of inventory items due to damage, theft, etc. It has "Loss Subform" for input of multiple items. The row has a calculated field "TotalLoss" (from qty * itemcost). The footer of subform has unbound text field =Sum(nz([TotalLoss])). This all works fine. The problem I have is that I need to pass the total to another form. I want to have a pop-up form to use some of the field values from the Loss form. I have been able to pass all of the field values except for the TotalLoss.
LossForm Close Event: "DoCmd.OpenForm "Journal", , , , acFormAdd, , Me.LossID & ";" & Me.LossDate
pop up form:
Set frmPrevious = Screen.ActiveForm
Me.TransactionID = frmPrevious.LossID
Me.EntryType = "Loss"
Me.Date = frmPrevious.LossDate
{ Me.Amount = frmPrevious.TotalLoss doesn't work }
DoCmd.Save
End Sub
I also tried to setup a global, class, and module variable but keep getting error message of undefined variable.
Have a form that contains fields AssociatedProject, AssociatedRelease and then the user hits a button to create a new record and a new form opens to display this newly created record which sets the fields and also sets a field called Type. There is no issue with setting the field values and the new record is created. However, when the form opens to display the record it displays another record instead (usually the one before it). I think it could be related to the fact that the db resides on a shared drive which periodically has slow connectivity. However, I'm looking for a solution, perhaps modifying the code?
Here's the code:
Private Sub Command17_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control
Dim varItem As Variant
On Error GoTo Err_Command17_Click
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Tbl_Main", dbOpenDynaset, dbAppendOnly)

I have a database of experimental products. The database allows test technicians to input test information as well as product information (obviously in separate tables). Therefore before a tech logs test information, they have to first make sure the test product is in the database. They can do this by looking up the products that are in the database, and if the current one isn't they can input its information. In the lookup section you can also click on an individual product and lookup its test history.
What I am looking to do is add a button in the product information screen that allows the tech to open the test information input form with the test product information already loaded into the form. The product information portion of the test input form, is two combo boxes, one indicates the test products group and the other is the product number.
Looking up information on Google looks like i might need to use the OpenArgs function, however I have never used that before.
I have a query which contains figures. i have a search form based on this query and need to search using comparison operators such as <10000 or >500.
Is there a way to pass these value to criteria field in query ?
I have a combobox with the following specs.
Row Source Type = Value List
RowSource = 1;test1;2;test2;3;test3;4;test4;5;test5;6;test6;7; test7;8;test8;9;test9;10;test10;11;test11;12;test1 2
ColumnCount = 2
ColumnWidths = "0cm;8cm"
Bound Column = 1
For some reason unknown to me, although the combobox does drop down when entered, the values are not visible until selected, then the selected item is visible in the combobox, but still isn't visible in the drop-down list.
EDIT:
I'm using Access 2010
I have a form with a combobox and a treeview. When I select an item in the combobox, the treeview is updated with info related to the combobox value. When I browse through the nodes in the treeview, I want to see which other values will give that very same node. I could use the concatenation function* I found at Allen Browne's site, which will return a number of values in a single string.
What I'm looking for, is basically some sort of tag cloud. If the user selects node X, the tag cloud needs to show which values in the combobox will all lead to node X. The combobox values that lead to node Y shouldn't be visible at all in the tag cloud, or maybe just shown in a different color. The user should be able to click on the value, which will trigger the combobox_click event.
how many values there will be in the table behind the combobox. That's what's making this problem difficult to solve. Putting the form in design view, adding a textbox and returning to form view is not an option. How do I create a dynamic tag cloud? Is it possible to transpose a table column on a form?
If I want to sum the percentages from April, May and June only if a column is Not Null, how would I do that?
example
Tbl 1
PK, Month
Percent
Tbl 2
FK, Month Enrolled
Qty of Rx in the 1st month enrolled
Qty of Rx in 2nd qtr
Base (if Qty of Rx in 2nd Qtr is null then Qty of Rx in 1st month enrolled)
If Qty of Rx in 2nd QTR is NOT NULL then QTY of Rx in 2nd Qtr * Sum of April Percent+May Percent+June Percent, otherwise Qty of Rx in 1st month enrolled * Month Percent
Im getting stuck on how to sum the percents of April, May and June and then multiplying the result times the Qty ONLY IF the field is not null.
I only know how to create Query's using the design mode. I dont know how to write SQL statements.
I have a form for data entry that have multiple comboboxes. I am trying to get one combobox to base its "list" on an entry from a previous combobox. The first combobox is based on a QuantityType table and has four options.
The next combobox is based on a ProductDesign table and will have close to fifty options. I want to limit the ProductDesign combobox based on the QuantityType selection which will give the QuantityTypeID. This will refer to the QuantityTypeID linked to the ProductDesign table.I have created a query that looks like this:
SELECT Product_Design.Product
FROM Product_Design, Quantity_Type
WHERE Product_Design.QuantityTypeID = Quantity_Type.QuantityTypeID
AND Quantity_Type.QuantityType = [Forms]![Product]![Qty_Type];
This Query works and if I simply run the query I get the needed information from it.What I would like to do with this query is to populate the ProductDesign combobox with this data.I have tried putting the query in the RowSource field but I get an empty combobox without the data. The strange this is that the combobox must be getting something from the query because the length of the combo box varies based on my QuantityType selection. I.E. if I select "Single" in the QuantityType, the ProductDesign dropdown shows three empty places for data whereas if I select "Multiple" in the QuantityType I see that there is ten empty places for data.getting the combo box to actually show each option?
For my study on academic research I need to match patents that refer to academic research as prior work with the actual prior work.
I have two tables (see attached images below).
One regarding AcademicPublications (AP), which is neatly organized with title, year, journal, volume, pages, first author, etc... 480,000 rows
One regarding Patentswhere all this information is hidden within one field, in the most messy way possible... for instance, a field could have:
Quote:
Sugita et al, "Nonsurgical Implantation of a Vascular Ring Prosthesis Using Thermal Shape Memory Ti/Ni Alloy (Nitionl Wire)," Trans. Amer. Soc. Artif. Intern. Organs, vol. 23, pp. 30-34.
or
Quote:
Willingham et al., Cell 13, 501-507 (1978).
Or many other ways.
I want to create a new table that is set up like this:
Patents.PatentNumber | AP.ID | Patents.Reference | AP.Title | AP.Year | AP.Volume | AP.PageStart
The question is: How do I match different fields from one table on one field of another and make it return another field (the ID)? Some references are too horrible to match, but I need as many as I can get.
I can imagine two queries would give me the bulk:
A match in [Title] AND [Year]
A match on ([SourceTitle] OR [AbbreviatedSourceTitle] ) AND [Volume] AND [Year] AND [PageStart]
I understand that I have to make use of the Like "*"&[value]&"*", but how do I make it return the matching ID?
I have two Tables, "staff data" (staffID, name) and "issues log" (IssueID, StaffID, 20+ fields about individual Issues). StaffIDs are linked together so each employee can have multiple issues..I have (so far) Form1 containing individual Issues that can be filled in, or retrieved one at a time / scrolled through in IssueID order
What I want is a second form, containing a combobox with all StaffIDs (+ names) listed; when a StaffID is selected, a table is loaded containing all Issues for that employee. When any of these is selected, Form1 is loaded
I have created the second form, including the combo that contains both StaffIDs and Names. I can't yet grasp how to show the set of Issues applicable to that employee when I change that combo...If I could have the combo on Form.
it's easy to set up a form with a combobox that will list all records and moves the user to the selected record. But I can't figure out how to just show a selection of the records in this combobox, instead of all records.
So, to use the example used in most online tutorials: a drop down menu shows you all the names in a customer database. However, I'd like to have instead a dropdown menu with an overview of all surnames in the database and that I move to the first record with the selected surname.
I have a table which has a "Start" and "End" fields, and i made a query based on this fields which continues to look up the next points until the last end points. I wanted to filter the last end points on the query table that was related on the combobox value.

I have a college project were we have had to code a database for a fictional hospital to hold patient, doctor, consultant and appointment information. I am struggling with one particular problem.
I am trying to pass a variable from a combobox of results to another form to display a certain record.
I am trying to send:
stLinkCriteria = "[NHS_Number]=" & "'" & Me![lstSearch].Value & "'" & " AND [AppointmentID]=" & "'" & AppointmentID & "'"
to the form but it fails, yet if I "hard code" the variable it works:
stLinkCriteria = "[NHS_Number]=" & "'" & Me![lstSearch].Value & "'" & " AND [AppointmentID]=23"
Can anybody shed any light upon this please?
