Forms :: Predictive Words Don't Work In Combobox
Apr 3, 2013
i have a combobox which i want to use on a touch screen using touch buttons in ms access 2010
i set the combobox ime sentence mode to phrase predict, allow autcorrect to yes, row source type to value list and typed some words that i want in the row source eg. "kitchen"
i've set the on click event of my buttons a,b,c,d..... as following Me.Combo56 = Me.Combo56 & "A" for button a and so on.
the problem is that when i press the first letter of the word lets say "k" for the "kitchen" on my onscreen keypad the combo can not predict the word.

I have a database with a Supply Receipt Form. The first field in the form is a combobox for the user to select a material/supply. I'd like for the form to open to a new record every time. When I use:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
in the Form On Open property, I lose the ability to select the material/supply. Same thing happens when I set the Data Entry property to Yes.

I have a multirecord continuous form that displays the results of a query. At the end of each row there is a combobox displaying a list of form names. The user selects one of these forms from the list and program fetches the detail data in that selected form corresponding to the row where the cursor is. Now the beforeupdate or aferupdate or onclick functions do not work. Her are the properties of the combobox as JPG files and the code of the not working function.
Code:
Private Sub Sbox_AfterUpdate()
Dim ForName As String
Dim ParName As String
Dim QryName As String
MsgBox "after update combo"
ParName = Me.Form.Name
Select Case Me.Sbox.Value
[Code] .....

Hi Folks,
I am attempting to split out a descriptive field so that each words which may exist in that particular field will be split out into seperate fields ... for example, if the violation field is populated with a four worded description of 'Assualt on Police Officer' I would like to somehow strip out the words so that 'Assualt' and 'on' and 'Police' and 'Officer' are all in seperate fields. I am not sure if this can be done using a simple query in access ... if anyone can offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Joe

I have many rows of information i am entering in access. I want to setup this spreadsheet to look at previous rows of information so when I fill one field it will automatically fill some of the other fields in the same row with the information from the rows above.
if this is not possible then I want to create a dictionary of information so if information is typed in one of the fields it will automatically populate some of the other fields on the same row.

i have an address memo field
on the form.. is there a way to display entries already present in certain address fields
eg..
the following address is in the 'pickup address' field and the 'destination address' field
23 High Street, South Kensington
so...
i put a rule on my pickupaddress memo field on my form..
if they type 23.. the rest of the above address appears and offers itself to the field as a sign of good will.. of course the user can just type over it if it happens to be a different address starting with 23..
is this hard to do?

I have a main form and a subform. The main form displays the information as combo box = column.2 (in other words it shows the actual word not recorded y/n checkbox = obviously shows which is checked
However the subform shows
combobox = 1 or 2 etc the recordid
y/n check box 1 for yes 2 for no
How do I get the subform to display the words instead of numbers? (can live with the Y/N)
have basically the same issue with a split form (combo only) shows words and datasheet view shows corresponding record id number
tried using =[coffeetype].[column.2] on both the subform and split form datasheet but doesn't work.

I now want to update one field (what I type into it is irrelevant) but if this field is updated, it means quite a few others become Not Applicable and I would like that to be populated once I updated this one field. After Update is what I am looking for.I know it is simple (but will mean entering each field name) but it would save me truckloads of time.

I am having some difficulty putting togather a small database (attached).
Basically I want to be able to search for mutiple words and get the results
There are 3 main columns in the main table
1) Shop
2) Part Number
3) Part Type
Problem 1:I have created a lookup table (with check boxes) for ComboBoxes in a form but I do not know how to connect it so that when I click on the comobo box it gives me the all different (Shop numbers/part number/Part types) to select from.
Problem 2:Once I have made my selection I want to search and run query to show me the results. I know that once multiple items are selected in a combo box they are separated by commas/space, so the search must take that in account.
Other nice to have
1) If Shop 1 is selected then only the parts which were sold from shop 1 to appear in the Part number Box & visavera & same goes for Part type.
2) Ability to do a wildcard search so if I Enter "A" in part number I can see all the resealts

I'm working on a form that when opened has a pop up filter that asks you to enter "1, 2, 3, 4 or 5". These numbers have to be equal to an actual word within the form. For example, on the form we have a box called "business unit". One of the options in "business unit" is "Human Resources".
I want to set 1 = to Human Resources so that way in the filter box all a person has to type is 1, and all of HR's records will pop up. The reason for this is we are trying to eliminate typing as much as possible.

I'm trying to build a form that Pulls data from several tables, though will update only one. I'm having issues right now with a field that is supposed to draw from a query. I made a query that is supposed to concatenate different fields in another table, look for duplicated words and remove them, but although that isn't working yet, that's not my issue. My issue is that the DLookup in the form isn't even trying to look at the query. The query prints out workshop IDS and a concatenated field right now, so there is data to pull.
=DLookUp("[Expr1]","[Posting Title Query]", "[WorkShop_ID] =" & [WorkShop_ID])
Query name: Posting Title Query
Query Reference Field: WorkShop_ID
Query Data Field: Expr1
Form Name: Sessions
Form Reference Field: WorkShop_ID
Form Table: Session List

I have a project. There is an back end database sitting on a network share. And there is a copy of the front end for each of the users also sitting on the network share. (Ideally I would like the front end to sit on the user's local drive, but we can't trust them update the front end every time we change the code behind the form, and I don't know how to force the code change out to their drives.)
Anyway, So we have these files sitting on the network shared drive. When I do an update, I change my copy of the front-end, and after I test the change and see that it works, I then use windows explorer to copy my frontend MDB file, and paste that over the user's front-end file.
That was working fine. But about two or three months ago, if I copy and paste the files, then the user can't open the form in the pasted copy. That is about the time I was "upgraded" to Windows XP. So I had someone still on Windows 2000 do the copy and paste, and that worked. But about a month ago, with no change in that person's PC, his pasted copies no longer work.
When I say no longer work, I mean you can open the MDB file with no error, but when you try to open the form, the pointer becomes the busy pointer, but the form never opens. (Well, the longest anyone has let the machine sit is about an hour before killing access from the task list.)
So, now, I have to go to each person, and do the copy paste on their PC, and so far, that is working.
Any idea what is going on here and how I can fix it?
Thanks,
David

I have a sub form that contains two fields of FabricNum(ComboBox) and RollNum(ComboBox). The RollNum is restricted to the FabricNum so whenever I choose a FabricNum, list of RollNum changes respectively.
In order to do that, I created a query that contains the FabricNum and RollNum. The FabricNum in the query is restricted to the chosen FabricNum in the subform. I also have an embedded macro on FabricNum which opens the query, close the query and requery based on RollNumber. All what I have explained work perfect once it gets done in a sub form. When I try to do the same thing in a Main form, it does give me an error.
After researches I realized that I have to change the path in a query and I changed it as following:
[Forms]![FabricUsageDetail1].[FabricUsageDetail2].[Form].[FabricNum].
Unfortunately, I still get an error of 2950 which says the command or action "Requery" is not available now.

I have a simple subform that shows an address block.Created as a form, the can shrink property does not kick in. Created as a report, it works fine.All controls and properties and query they are based on are identical.The report pasted into Access 2010 works fine and missing fields shrink.The form pasted into Access 2010 does not.The problem I have is in how do I reference the "subreport" in the form so as to be able to requery?

This happened yesterday at work.
The access form froze and they could do other things but Access remained frozen. They logged off and when they went back in Access opened but none of the form buttons or links were working.
The database is not split because it is used only by one station at a time.
Has this happened to anyone and does anyone know the cause?
Five people were trying to fix it when I walked into work (5 people who no nothing about Access other than using that one database) and I couldn't get a straight answer.
Thanks
Kim

Goal: : To improve an application's performance by basing sub forms and combo
The application has a front and back-end. There is no SQL server involved. I use a module for, seeking out the back-end and automatically linking to the back-end in order that I might be able to provide updates. This has worked for me since first setting everything up.
First let me define what I mean by, “sub form” as to how I am designing my application. I have a number of, what I call, “main (unbound) forms” that are used to open up separate application modules. Each module contains a number of hyperlinks to each of the other application modules. Also, each main form (application module) contains a tab form with bound forms. Therefore, I am calling these lower level bound forms, sub forms and basing them on query files instead of tables. Many of the tables have fields for collecting information across a second form. I did not want to bring back all the fields when they are used in any of the two are three forms bound with the same table.
Problem: When I base either a main form or a sub-form on a query, that particular front-end query form no longer links to the back-end database table via a query file whenever I import everything g into a new/fresh version of the front-end application. Whnever I open one of the query files via the form, I get an error message in each of the fields indicating it can't fine the field even though the table is listed with all the fields. No, I do not have the same problem with forms based on tables.
I suspect that my problem is in what I am calling a main and sub form; and that the main form is really the first level bound form and never the top unbound form if one is used. I have a lot of forms. I just wanted to get some feedback on
my suspicions or find out what else could be the source of my problem before re-doing everything.
Thanks,
John

I used the Contacts demo on Access 2010, made all the elements Client from web based and then exported to a new database. It worked for the most part but now I am trying to put in a 4 box search and am getting stuck on which form to link it to and also where to put these boxes.

I'm very new to Access, Macros, and VBA. Basically I have a form in ContinuousForm format that has a delete button next to each record. It's been working fine for the past few hours but for some reason Access can't delete the corresponding record(s) (DeleteRecord) now. The button is run by a macro that's made by a wizard.
Also, is there an appropriate way to show code (if that is the term used) for Macros?

The thing I've been trying to do is make it so that my form filters my records, and I'm trying to make a between function for it. My form is shown below in the attachment.
What I need to do is make it so that my form filters my records Between the two year boxes AND between the two Length boxes. But I need it so that if nothing is in the boxes, it shows all records, and if something is in only the Year boxes, it only filters the years and not the lengths.
Code:
Field: Length
Criteria: Between [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length1] And [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length2]
Then in a separate column I had
Code:
Field: [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length1]
Or: Is Null
This works fine if it's only for Length, but if I try to do the same for the MovieYear boxes, it screws up and just shows me no records...?

We are creating a simple database to maintain driver license information for faculty, staff, and students who use cars from the university’s motor pool.
To do this, I have created two tables: tblDRIVER and tblLICENSE.
The fields in tblDRIVER are:
pkfDriverIndex
strLastName
strFirstName
strInitial
strAddress1
strAddress2
strCity
strState
strZIP
datBirthDate
The fields in tblLICENSE are:
pkfUpdateIndex
fkfDriverIndex
datDateUpdated
strState
strLicNumber
datExpirationDate
ynViolations
ynActive
Information about the driver is stored in tblDRIVER and the driver’s license information is stored in tblLICENSE. Periodically, we run a report that identifies drivers whose licenses are due to expire within a certain number of days. All this works fine.
My problem is that I am trying to create a lookup form that will load from a data entry form that will permit the Motor Pool Clerk to look up a driver by name and review the licensing information (which appears as a subform).
All this sort of works- I am using a combo box (based on a query) to look up a driver’s last name (which it does) and to populate all the driver’s information on the look-up form (including license information in a subform). Currently, the combo box locates the driver (including the unique index, last, and first names), and populates the form with first and last name but the rest of the information is not displayed on the look up form. Worse still, sometimes one driver’s last name matches up with the first name of the next driver listed in the table! This seems to happen only if a look up is attempted more than once. What gives.
Thanks for the help.

I've got a single form ("Lead Data") that has Cascading Combo boxes that work perfectly, entering data into "tblLeadData":cboMatterTypeIDcboMatterIDcboAttyIDcboPlglID Attorney & Paralegal are the people assigned to the Matter. My problem is in finding a way to allow a specific Attorney or Paralegal to filter for only his or her records. I made a query of tblLeadData that works perfectly as a query, but when I use it as a filter in an "on click" macro event, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because of the cascading combos, because I've successfully used this kind of query based macro filter in the past.
Okay, more on how it is set up. The same people are always assigned to a specific matter, so when you pull down the Atty & Plgl combo boxes, there's only one person. So it isn't a true Parent/Child relationship, but it's working. And there were two advantages of this set up over an autopopulate set up (which I considered): 1) When I change something in the reference tables (refAtty and refPlgl), it also changes in tblLeadData & 2) in case there's an exception to the usual assignment pattern, we can just leave Atty & Plgl blank and put the correct assignment in a text box called "AssignmentNotes."
So my query of tblLeadData that works, qryLeadDataAssign, uses the following fields:
tblLeadData.AttyID
refAtty.Atty
tblLeadData.PlglID
refPlgl.Plgl
tblLeadData.AssignmentNote
Expr1: [Atty] & " " & [Plgl] & " " & [LeadAssignmentNotes]Criteria: Like "*" & [Who?] & "*"
The Join Properties in the query between tblLeadData and refAtty is set to "2: Include ALL records from 'tblLeadData' and only those records from refAtty" where the joined fields are equal." And the same for Plgl.
When I run the query, it asks me a single time, "Who?", I put in the name and it pulls up all instances of the name from any of the 3 fields. It acts as a "contains" filter, not an "equals" one.
As for my cascading combos, here are the settingsMatterTypeIDRow Source:
SELECT refMatterType.MatterTypeID, refMatterType.MatterType, refMatterType.[MatterType] FROM refMatterType ORDER BY refMatterType.[MatterType]; On Change Event:Me.cboMatter.Requery
MatterIDRow Source: SELECT tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter FROM tblMatter WHERE (((tblMatter.MatterTypeID)=[Forms].[LeadData].[cboMattertype])) GROUP BY tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter, tblMatter.Matter ORDER BY tblMatter.Matter;
On Change Event:Me.cboAtty.Requery
[Code] ....
I put a button on the form and put an embedded macro as an "On Click" event. The macro is an "ApplyFilter" and the filter name is qryLeadDataAssign. When I click on the button, I am asked to enter
data 3 times:Enter Parameter Value: Atty
Enter Parameter Value: Plgl
Enter Parameter Value: Who?
Clearly, the expression in the query doesn't function in the button. And the result, no matter what I put in, is that all of the records are still there, although the filtered button is activated.
I tried putting the expression from the query into the macro builder window, but I for sure don't know what I'm doing there and haven't been able to make it work.
