Forms :: Reset Combo Box To Blank Or Non Selectable Value In List
May 29, 2014
On my unbound form I have a combo box with a record source type set to value list and the record source with two choices in it. I would like the combo box to reset back to either blank or a the phrase "select one" once a record is saved. If it shows "select one" I do not want the user to be able to actually select that. As I said the form is an unbound form and I have used the coding of "insert into" to save the new record to a table. I have been able to clear the text box on this form when the new record is save by resetting it's value to "" but have been unable to reset the combo box to blank.
how do I reset the combo box through code after a save to display nothing - or is there a way to add a non-selectable choice to the list and have it display when the form is refreshed.

I have a form based on a table with just sales quotes and dates. I am using the salesquote as a combo box to select corresponding records in a subform.
Code:
Private Sub cboSalesquote_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "[salesquote]=" & cboSalesquote
Me.FilterOn = True
End Sub
Works fine. But not the mgr says his users get confused when they are making changes in the subform which record they are changing so they want when they select a record from the combo box and the records appear in the subform; they want the combo box to go blank. I am not sure how to do this because if I reset the combo box to go blank; the subform records will go blank as well.

I have a combo box, 'Type' that has two values - "Instrument" and "Equipment".Another combo box control, 'Criticality', has an Enabled = False value set OnCurrent.
When the user selects "Equipment", Criticality goes Enabled = True and when OnUpdate to "Instrument", Criticality goes Enabled = False.The Criticality field correctly displays and switches off if someone selects Instrument.
However, if someone puts a value in whilst Type is set to "Equipment" and then Type is reset to "Instrument" and in the meantime the user has selected a value for Criticality, the value stays 'stuck' in the Criticality box, despite the field being disabled. It is a bound field.How do I purge any contents stored in Criticality when the field is disabled? I presume it's something like an SQL statement to set the value to null, but I'm not quite certain.

I have a SQL Server 2005 backend table with a varchar(1) field which allows nulls. The field is populated from a combo box in Access 2012. The field can be set to 1,2 or 3 via the combo box or left blank in which case its value will be null. Sometimes I need to reset this field to null. How can I do this via a combo box? I know I could just set this to an empty string but this would mean re-writing a load of queries which a looking for a number or null.
Something like 1;"First";2;"Second";3;"Third";Null;"Blank"

I have a Form that links to a List Box which pulls from a combined (concatenated?) list. The list it is pulling from appears as follows: SELECT [Rank]+" "+[Last Name]+", "+[First Name] AS Expr1 FROM [T_Personnel Information]; My issue is that the Field in the Form that pulls from the Field in the Table defaults to the first name on the list when left blank, where as I want it to default to a blank value unless I select a name from the list.

I'm working on a database at the moment with a fairly large dataset. I've used "between" functions and created date range boxes to filter query's to specific date ranges which has worked perfectly for queries. Is it possible to have something similar with forms?
The reason i needed to move away from query results onto forms is the ability to have an on click event to goto individual record which wasn't possible from the query results. I moved my query's across to forms which worked well except for the loss of selectable date ranges.

I have created a form that searches through one of my tables, via a query, it then automatically creates a report from that query.
I want to add an option into the combo box's that is blank.
Currently if you wanted to choose by 'fault category' but accidently click on 'failure analysis', it will take the top value of the combo as the entry, you can't then blank 'failure analysis'.
Each combo box gets its information from an independent table.
The only think I figured out what adding the refresh button which just closes then reopens the form so all the fields go blank.

I have a form that I would like to have blank fields when it is opened. I put the following in the "On Open" Event field of the form properties:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
However, it does not work. I have an unbound combo box on the form for users to select from, in which all the records on the form will populate with whatever is selected in the unbound combo box. I thought this was the problem at first, but even if I remove that from the form, the form still opens to the first record. If I set the "Data Entry" field to "Yes" on the Data tab, that works, but then none of the fields populate when using the combo box.

I have a form that I populate after making selections in two combo boxes but when I load the form the text boxes are already filled in with the first record. The combo boxes load blank, which is what I want.
How do I get the rest of the form to be blank on load? It is made up of text boxes and check boxes that are all bound. Will this only work if they are unbound?

I have a table that I am querying with month fields 1-12 and loan specific data preceeding the month fields. I have to pull current month on my report and would like to figure out a way to create some sort of variable where when I run the query there will be an input box asking me for the month and will then use that month field to run the query. For example: If I need to run a feb report, then I would need all of the loan data plus the field named "2".
Is there any way to do this or something similar?
Thanks!

I am trying to avoid to use a Combo Box & a List Box because of the way the records are stored in the table, I only need to verify that the user does not enter a 3 letter code that is not contained in a specific table (I have a table of countries with the 3 letter code example if the user types ESC instead of ESP an error appears) Is it possible to use the after update to verify the contents against a table?

I have a combo box on a form which has a row source type of Value List in which I've manually typed in 2 entries: Owned, Leased.
I have a query which filters on the results of the combobox, and works fine for when I select either option Owned or Leased.
Is there an easy way to filter all (both Owned & Leased)? I've tried leaving the combobox blank, and tried entering a * in the value list, but they both return no results.
Code:
SELECT Assets.*
FROM Assets
WHERE (((Assets.Possession)=[Forms]![Home]![Combo56]));

I am using a sequence of combo boxes on a 'Continuous' form.
To reduce the possibility of error I am using a 'Value List' combo box where I use AddItem method to add the previously entered string to the combo control so that it is there for use when entering the next record.
This works fine - but what I want to ask is - how to have a routine to check that the string does not already exist in the combo box before I AddItem i.e., I don't want duplicated values in the list.....

I have a list box and a combo box on a form based on a query. The list box is a multi-select, with column values of Client, ClientEmail, and Medical.
Medical is a simple yes/no field, and it is what I want the combo box to sort by. I have a Where clause in the query: WHERE (Medical=[forms]![frmOne]![cmbbx]), and the only values in the combo box are Yes and No (1 column). I also have the combo box set to run a requery macro after updating. I've also tried to change the macro to VBA:
Code:
DoCmd.Requery "lstbx"
When I pick a string from the combo box, the list box just goes blank, rather than updating to clients who either do or don't have Medical, and I can't understand why.

I am using the following code in a textbox (CountryID) to show a country name (CoName) from a table (tblCountry). If the comboBox (cmbCoName) in current form (frmCountry) has no entry then CountryID remains blank, great. If I use the form to add a new entry then CountryID flashes because it does not recognize the entry. Can I use "or" to add another condition in the IIF statement so that it allows the "not in the combobox list" entry?
Code:
=IIf(IsNull([txtCoName]),"",DLookUp("CoName","tblCountry","Country_ID = " & [Forms]![frmCountry]![txtCoName]))

I have a combo: cmb_TrainingType. The sql is:
Code:
SELECT tblTrainingType.TypeID, tblTrainingType.Type FROM tblTrainingType ORDER BY tblTrainingType.Type;
My second combo (the one that should be filtered based on the Type chosen above) is cmb_Project_Title. The sql I have written (which isn't working) is:
Code:
SELECT tblCourseDetails.CDID, tblCourseDetails.Project_Title FROM tblCourseDetails WHERE (((tblCourseDetails.TypeID)=Forms!frmResourcing.cmb_Training_Type) And ((tblCourseDetails.Type)=Forms!frmResourcing.cmb_Training_Type)) ORDER BY tblCourseDetails.[Project_Title];
Both of the tables that are referenced have the fields TypeID and Type.

I'm sure there is an easy way to do this but I have not clue.
I have three tables:
Students
STUDID (pk)
txtFname
txtLname
etc.
Classes
CLASSID (pk)
txtClassName
txtClassRoom
etc.
Student_Class (join table)
STUD_CLASSID (pk)
fk_StudID
fk_ClassID
On my Class form when assigning students there is a combo box which shows the students names. Once a student is picked in the combo box their name shows up in the subform.
What I would like is a way to NOT show a student in the combo box after they have been selected. Is this possible? Or should I be looking at another way of doing this?

Is it possible to remove an list item from a combo box list after it has been used.
What I am trying to do is use a combo box that has a list of questions, after the user selects a question from the combo box list and answers the question when they reselect the combo box that question will not be seen again till the form is reloaded.

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.

During the course of it's development I have created about twenty tables whose sole purpose is to house data for use in combo and list boxes. They have no other purpose.
I am now in the process of creating the maintenance side of this project and how to manage these lists. In the past I have created a form with a multitude of subforms to manage these lists.

I want to add a conditional formatting to a combo box to highlight if the value is not on the list.There is a process to read in data from a 3rd party excel sheet that has truck arrival dates and times. My form displays this data and allows the internal users to change it. My form has the "Trucks" field as a limit to list combo box - so basically any data can be read into this field but internal we can only change it to trucks on the list (from the trucks table). I want to highlight where the trucks value is not in our trucks list.

I am creating a form in access. In the form there is a combobox in which I am adding items using RowSourceType as Value list and Row Source as Male;Female. What I require is whether there is some way so that when I select Male from combo box M is stored in database and with Female F is stored. I know how to achieve this with RowSourceType as Table/Query but not with RowSourceType as Value List.
