Forms :: Prevent Combo Box From Updating Table

May 21, 2015

I have a combo box on my form which loads fields from a table and displays them using

Code:
SELECT DISTINCT table_team.team FROM table_team;

I then use

Code:
=[qry_showteamforedit]![team]

in the default value for the combobox to show the team which is saved in the current record.This is the qry_showteamforedit:

Code:
SELECT table_team.team
FROM table_team RIGHT JOIN table_staff_details ON table_team.ID = table_staff_details.team
WHERE table_team.ID = table_staff_details.team;

My problem is when I move through the records, if I change the selected value using the combo box it changes the actual value in the table from the one that was selected to the new one. If I was on record 1 and the teamid saved in there was 1 . It would display "team one" but if I changed that to "team two" it would change record one to say "team two" instead of "team one".I have been searching and found that this is because it is bound to the table so need to remove the text from Control Source, which when I do, breaks it, and it doesn't display the saved team.

what I would like it to do is display all the teams, but default to the one saved by using the id saved in the main table, but allow me to change this value. I would also like a second cascading combo box which will display a list of subteams dependent on what main team was selected and again, default to the values saved in the main table. I have managed to get cascading combo boxes working but combining them with my tables and queries is proving difficult. This is how my tables would be ( just showing the relevant fields)

Staff_table
ID Name teamID
1 Dave 1
2 Tom 1
3 Matt 2

team_table
ID team subteam
1 team1 subteam1
2 team1 subteam2
3 team1 subteam3
4 team2 subteam4

Is it is the subteams that will be unique I would like to save the subteam ID to the teamID field of the staff_table. that way i can retrieve the team and the subteam using the same ID.

Forms :: Update Table That Is Recordsource For Combo Box That Is Updating That Table

Mar 29, 2013

I have a combo box (cboManifestNumber) that is based on the following table:

tblManifestData
ManifestDataIDPK (autonumber PK)
ManifestNumber
RemovedDate
ManifestComments
TsdfIDFK (FK frm tblTSDF)

This table is related to:

tblTSDF
TsdfIDPK (autonumber PK)

I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.

Forms :: Updating Table From Cascading Combo Box(s) Fox?

Mar 25, 2013

updating my table when I use cascading combo boxes in my form.What is happening is that my table is being populated by the xxxxID column vice from the xxxxName column that is being used from that specific table.

here is my visual basic code that I am using to determine what the subsequent combo box will display.

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cboPlanktonID_AfterUpdate()
' Set the Family combo box to be limited by the selected Plankton Type
Me.cboFamilyID.RowSource = "SELECT tblFamily.FamilyID, tblFamily.FamilyName FROM tblFamily " & _
" WHERE OrderID = " & Nz(Me.cboPlanktonID) & _
" ORDER BY FamilyName"

[code]...

Example of the Combo box Row Source is: SELECT [tblWaterbody].[WaterbodyID], [tblWaterbody].[WaterbodyName] FROM tblWaterbody;

My Control Source is PlanktonAnalysis.WaterbodyName

When I fill in the form with the data, The Waterbody name is visable for selection (example: I see "Lake Lillinonah" in the cascading combo box, But when I save the record in the PlanktonAnalysis Table I get a number in the WaterbodyName column vice the name of the waterbody

PlanktonAnalysisIDWaterbodyName172

Forms :: Prevent Bound Form From Updating Records Before Clicking On Save Button

Oct 31, 2014

I am working on a web database with a form which is bound to an underlying web table where the submissions occur.My challenge is that the fields on the form get submitted to the table even before the submit button is clicked regardless of whether the form was completely filled.

My request is that I want the form to only submit to the submission table only when the submit button is clicked.When I searched on the net, the only solutions I got are VBA written code but my web database cannot use VBA code.

VBA code:

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private blnGood As Boolean
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
blnGood = True
Call DoCmd.RunCommand(acCmdSaveRecord)
blnGood = False
End Sub

[code]....

Dec 16, 2014

I have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'

Private Sub cmdQuote_Click()
'Creates quote date and prints quote
Me.QuoteDate = Now()
Me.cbAgentID.Requery
DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID
End Sub

When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.

Modules & VBA :: Updating Table Where Table Name Depends On Combo Box Value

Jan 17, 2014

I am trying to update a table with the value of a text box on the form where the table to update is as selected from a combo box on the form.I keep getting the following

Error message:
Run-time error 2465
Microsoft Access cant find the field & table_to_update & referred to in your expression..

But really can't see what I've done wrong. Have checked that the table_to_update string does contain the name of the table so guess it must be sql..

Code:
Private Sub Command91_Click()
Dim table_to_update, sql_string As String
table_to_update = Me.Combo49
Debug.Print table_to_update
sql_string = "UPDATE [" & table_to_update & "] SET [" & table_to_update & "].[Project] = """ & Text89.Value & """ WHERE [" & table_to_update & "].[ID] = " & Forms![T_entity]![" & table_to_update & "]![ID] & ""
db.Execute sql_string
End Sub

Updating Table Data Using A Combo Box

Sep 4, 2006

Hi all
I have been nutting out this problem but have been unable to find a solution, even my learned colleague is at a loss to help. This is an data update query using combo boxes and forms.
I have 2 databases, Data and App, I have linked 2 tables, Main and Supervisor from the Data.mdb to the App.mdb. Supervisor has 2 fields ID and Name. Main has multiple fields but is linked to Supervisor by the ID field. I have a query that gets details from the Main Table and this is entered into a form. I deleted the SupervisorID text box and inserted a combo box using the wizard, it gets its data from a query that gets details from the Supervisor table showing the Supervisor name, the ID field in the dropdown is hidden. The combo box selection is held in the SupervisorID of the Main table.
What I want to do is change the Supervisor name using the combo box however I am unable to select another name from the dropdown list.
I have tried changing the Data Entry property of the form to Yes, this did not work. Allow edits is set to yes. I have tried adding another combo box which gets the data straight from the Supervisor table but I have the same problem.
Can anyone help, we think it is a simple property setting but all we have tried has failed to date. Thanks in advance.
Craig

Updating Table From A Combo Box Entry

Oct 22, 2007

I am learning access on my own, so please bear with me.
I am using Access 2000.
I have a form with a combo box. I use this form to enter data into the database. The combo box selections are from a separate table. If the required entry is not in the drop down menu selections from the table, the user needs to type in the proper selection. If this happens I want the table driving the combo box dropdown to be automatically updated with the new entry so that the data will appear in the drop down menu selections the next time. How is the best way of accomplishing this. Thanks for any answers and examples.

Prevent Subform From Updating If Main Form Data Is Invalid

Nov 4, 2005

Hi,
Mainform and Subform are linked on field "barcode".

Barcode is the primary key for the table that Mainform is based on.

When user is entering a new record, I have the BeforeUpdate event of Mainform.barcode set to check to see if the barcode already exists in the table, and if so, to give the user some meaningful error message.

Works fine, except that the subform still updates to match the invalid, previously-used barcode. I want the subform to stay blank until the user has entered valid data in MainForm.

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks for any ideas.

Forms :: Combo Box Not Updating Upon Moving To New Record

Jun 26, 2014

I have a tab control with a Counsellor Training tab on it inmy form frmCounsellors. The issue I am having is that when I select a training type from the drop down in the sub form on the tab control on the counsellor training tab and then go to a new record of the main form, not on the sub form, the training type I selected on the form stays the same. If I change it on the second record, it stays at whatever I changed it to, even if I return to the first record it stays at what I changed it to as well.

How do I get it to stay with the counsellor and have it zero out for a new counsellor and it to allow me to enter something different for the new counsellor then save it for that counsellor?I just realised, I am having the same issue with the location combo box but I am sure I could apply a fix to both boxes if I knew one.

Forms :: Automatically Updating Dependent Combo Box

Oct 21, 2014

I am designing a form based on specific criteria from a table. I have one table "country/region" showing: Country, Region, and then primary numeric ID. I have another table called "contacts" with more info. What I am looking to do is create two combo boxes on the form, one for country and the other for region which will pull from the "country/region" table and feed into the "contacts" table". When the user writes in the specific country, the corresponding region in the combo box next to it should update automatically.

Forms :: Filter Subform By Updating Combo Box

Dec 14, 2014

I have a table contains 5/6 column. now i need to filter the table on a form randomly.

Suppose I have 6 different combo box for 6 column. Now on the sub form the control shows the whole table. i this case i have clicked the 3rd combo box, then it will show the whole column in its list. if i select any one of it the table will show the common values below. then i will click the second combobox which will populate the present data shown into the subform table after the first filter.

After that i wish to filter the fifth column where the fifth combobox will populate the data after the second filtering.

By all means the active data into the column will ony populate into the combobox.

Forms :: Prevent Entering Data A Second Time Onto Access 2010 Table

Mar 4, 2014

I have a simple data entry form where I can key the "row", "COLUMN", SPACE "a" and space "B" onto an access 2010 table. Is there a way that if I key the same four fields, e.g., A5AB that I get a message back before updating telling me that combination already exists?

I do generate a calculated data field, which in this case would be "a5ab" and which is displayed on report screens. Could the value of this calculated field be stored on the Table and be used to prevent the same value from again be entered on the Table?

Updating Relational Table From Form Using Combo-boxes

Apr 15, 2005

Hi,

I have two tables, tblCountry and tblLocation. With the following structure

tblCountry
ID
Name
Text

tblLocation
ID
Country_fk
Name
Text

As you can guess tblCountry lists all of the countries, tblLocation lists all of the locations in each country, the tblLocation.Country_fk field is linked to tblCountry.ID.

I want the user to be able to edit [tblLocation].[Text] using a form. They simply select the country and then the location using combo-boxes and then add or edit the content using a textbox.

In my form I have a combo-box that displays the country names, the RowSource is set to
SELECT [tblCountry].[ID], [tblCountry].[Name], FROM tblCountry ORDER BY [Name];

I then have a second combo-box that lists the locations for the selected country. This uses an AfterUpdate() procedure to select [tblLocation].[ID] using an SQL query based on the value of the country combo-box. I.e:

SELECT [tblLocation].[ID],[tblLocation].[Name],[tblLocation].[Text] FROM tblLocation WHERE [Country_fk] = " & Me.country_box.Value & " Order By [Name]"


I want to be able to have a textbox that then displays [tblLocation].[Text] for the selected location. Thats where the problem arises. I can't find a way that will let me display any content thats available for the selected location AND let me edit it. I've tried using UpdateAfter procedures, different bindings (tables, queries based on the value of location combo-box).

Can anyone suggest how I can display [tblLocation].[Text] based on the value of the selected country/location and be able to update the information via a textbox?

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks

Jon

Forms :: Combo Box On Continuous Form Updating Current Record Only

Jul 29, 2013

Combo box on continuous form should have the control source listed as the field on the form that will be updated. The Row Source, however, is a query that includes 2 things: the field on the form that will be updated (this part will be nonvisible in your form) and the table/query of selections you want to show up in the combo box (visible). Then ensure the Bound column is set to 1 and the Column count is set to 2 with Column Widths as 0";1"

Forms :: Requerying Values In A Subform After Updating Combo Box In Main Form

Apr 21, 2015

Within my main form I have a combo box called "workgroup." Also in the main form is a subform called "sfrmSubmissionRecords," and within this subform is a combo box called "covermemo."

Each cover memo is assigned to a specific workgroup, so my intention is for each time a new workgroup is selected from the dropdown, the covermemo combo box in the subform becomes populated only with the covermemos associated with that workgroup. I'm almost finished except for the final step when I try to make the values regenerate...Access says that can't find the referenced form "sfrmSubmissionRecords"

This is the code that I'm using:

Private Sub cmbWorkgroup_AfterUpdate()
Forms![sfrmSubmissionRecords]![cmbCovermemo].Requery
End Sub

Prevent Inadvertant Updates To A Combo Box

Jun 17, 2006

I have a combo box in a form that I want to prevent "unwanted" changes to this comb box.

I'm trying to find a way that if someone changes a combobox, it prompts them "are you sure you want to change this?"

If the answer is yes then it lets them change it, but if the answer is no it returns it to the previous value.

I know how to use a Msgbox and return a "yes" or "no" value but how do I programaticatically do the rest???

Hi,

I am using the combo box in a form for selecting a report to be printed out. The source is a table with all the report names stored. I would like to prevent users from changing the data and yet they can can click on 1 single report they need. I cannot disable the allowedits in the combo box which will prevent the user from selecting. Is there a solution to this or should I use another method (if any). Thanks for any reply.

General :: Updating Table With Forms

May 13, 2013

I have created a form and subform using form wizard where users could enter the data of a new order.In the form, there are some expressions where it does a computation of the fees that the company earned for each order. This is a percentage of the gross income.The subform expression formula updates the fee amount and net income automatically when the gross income is entered and fee percentage entered.

Is there a way to update the fee amount and net income which the expressions derived into a data field in a certain table?I actually need these information to be in the table too, as data as they are required by other users.Or is there a better way to do it?I am mainly using wizards and don't know how to use any SQL or VBA.

Forms :: Updating Table From Unbound Textboxes

Aug 28, 2014

When a user selects a name from a combo box then 11 textboxes are populated with personal information.

What I am looking for is when the user edits the persons information (i.e. changes the persons phone number to a different number), how do I update the table with this information?

Is there a way to only update fields that have changed? or do I have to save all textboxes?

I have read about an "Update Query" and a SQL Update, but I did not think the two applied. I am sure that I am wrong, lol.

I tried the "Docmd.Runcommand acCmdSave (in the OnClick event cmd button) but it did not make any changes to the table.

This is what I put in the OnClick event:

Code:
Private Sub cmdSaveEdit_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave
TextBoxLockDown
Me.Requery
End Sub
