I am looking to have a combobox on a unbound form to select a product code (this i can do). However I want a textbox to auto populate with the description as well - both in the same table tblproducts - product_id, pcode, pdesc....
View RepliesI'm working on a project that uses a barcode scanner. The user will scan a barcode which will choose an item from a combo box. The result of what it enters will populate a text box. I have that part working fine.
The next step is to get it to open a form based on the value in the textbox. The textbox will have about 7 different possible values and each one should open a different form.
The way this is supposed to work:
User approaches a machine and scans the barcode. He is presented with a form giving him options based on the type of equipment the machine is. A compressor for example would present him with a set of options for compressors (gauge readings, maintanence, etc).
I have an unbound form with two controls:
cboAssetNumber
txtType
How to code this and which events to code it in. Users will be going from machine to machine and using the form over and over again so I need to somehow manage the clearing of the form to begin again with another barcode scan.
I saw another thread about a barcode scanner and one response was to program the scanner to send the barcode and then send an "Enter" press to move focus to the next control. I've looked through the documentation and haven't been able to find if that is possible. Right now it sends the number and that's it. It's a "Motion" Tablet.
I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.

I have a text box named Last_Check on a form.
On that form load I want to use the following SQL statement to populate that text box.
SELECT TOP 1 tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.Machine, tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.The_Date, tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.Time

I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?

I have a data entry form that is also used for editing exsisting records, upon the opening of a record the form populates with all the data of the record apart from what is previously selected in combo boxes, so I need to find a way to re-populate those comboboxes?

I have created a form to hold students names, ID numbers, dates, etc. On this form I have a combobox that lists various school names only. From this combobox, I wish to select a school, then the address on the school selected appears in textbox/memo field.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,

I have a form for entering property tax. The form is based on a table called investments. The form contains a combo box to select the appropriate property for data entry to the table. The two fields in the combo box are Property PIN and Property ID. The property ID is a combination of tax year+state+county+PIN. The same property can come up in more than one tax year so there are duplicate PINs but the Property ID is unique and is the key field. My problem is the combo box shows the duplicate PINs with their respective unique Property IDs as separate records but will only select the record for the earliest tax year regardless of which records I select on the combo box.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've designed a data entry form based on a table. I use a few combo boxes, (linked via SQL statements for their row/source) to fill most of the fields in the table.
What I want to do is populate one textbox on the form with the contents of a field in one of the combo box's row/source tables. The field I want isn't shown in the combo box.
Basically, what I want is that when I choose a PART NUMBER from a combo box, I want the OEM_ID from the same table to jump into the textbox below it.
I think I may have tied myself in knots though to the point where what I want can't be done. Any ideas? I know this is probably going to take a couple of goes at explaining. :P
I have a form that uses a combo box to select the record to edit which then opens the edit form... I keep getting a type mismatch error. The bound column is a text column and I'm wondering if that is the problem because this works perfectly everywhere else in the database. The primary key is the SKU of the product which is alphanumeric which is why I have it set to text...
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am populating a table using combo boxes in a continuous form. The box box alone works fine without any issue of repeated data. But as you know obviously the combo box only populates data in a single column of the table, in which case mine is the LASTNAME; so now I am attempting to populate a unbound textbox with the FIRSTNAME side-by-side with the combo box for the same record.
In the After Update event of the cboLASTNAME:
Code:
Me.txtFIRSTNAME = Me.cboLASTNAME.Column(3)
However, after updating the the combo the textbox data is repeated.
Is there a possible solution to this?
I am new to access and have been staring at the same Run-time error for 3 days (pathetic I know). I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not like my Dlookup. Esentially, I want and After Update event in my combo box to populate a Rich text textbox in my form. After reading DLookup is the easiest way to make this happen. Here is my code:
Me.emailbody.Value = DLookup("[Escalation_1]", "Status_Emails", "Status_Emails.Status =" & (cboStatus.Value))
My error reads: "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Status_Emails.Status = LOCATION NEED MORE INFO'.
LOCATION NEED MORE INFO is the value in my criteria cbostatus.value.
I am attempting to create an attendance database that needs to be able to be updated if someone calls in sick.
I have created a cascading combo box where you can select a date up to 15 days into the past with the following code in the rowsource for cboDate
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT tblAttendance.dataDate FROM tblAttendance WHERE (((tblAttendance.dataDate)>Date()-15)) ORDER BY tblAttendance.dataDate DESC;
an after update event has been coded to show only employees who have been scheduled for the day
Code:
Private Sub cboDate_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Me.cboAgentName.RowSource = "Select tblAttendance.agentName, tblAttendance.attendance,
[Code]....
So basically what i need to do is be able to use the cascading combo boxes to select the date and employee to go to that specific record so i can update the other fields. Currently when i attempt to do this with my current form, it automatically goes to a new record when i select a date and name and doesn't update the existing record.
I have a form that allows the user to select a record in a combo box. When this selection is made I want a 2nd form to open and give the user a place to enter additional info about that item selected. I have the forms working correctly but now I would really like to add the 2nd form to the first form as a subform but when I try this I get the message"The expressing is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated..." There are no fields on the first form that link directly to the 2nd form - because the combo box in an unbound combo (the selection in the combo box is what the 2nd form opens base on) I tried to add this as a subform with no parent/child info and I get the message stated.
I was hoping to make the 2nd form not visible until the selection was made in the combo box then make it visible for the info to be entered. Would really like it to be on the same form not as a separate form opening.I believe I just found that the reason for the message. It seems not to be a subform problem but is because the selection in the combo box needs to be made BEFORE the form can open. So now the question is - how can I make this a subform and avoid this error when the main form first opens. I will test the visibility and see if not visible until the selection clears this up.
I have a table filled with company contacts and form with a combo box containing the contacts names.
When a contact is selected I want it to show their Telephone, Mobile and email address in text boxes below. But it only shows the telephone number and the other two fields stay blank.
what I'm doing wrong ?
I have this code assigned to the combobox:
Code:
Private Sub MainContact_Change()
Me.Text169 = Me.MainContact.Column(3)
Me.Text167 = Me.MainContact.Column(2)
Me.Text177 = Me.MainContact.Column(1)
End Sub
And this is the row source:
Code:
SELECT tbl_Contacts.Salutation & " " & tbl_Contacts.ContactForename & " " & tbl_Contacts.ContactSurname AS MainContact, tbl_Contacts.ContactTelephone, tbl_Contacts.ContactMobile, tbl_Contacts.ContactEmail
FROM tbl_Contacts
WHERE (((tbl_Contacts.ID_Company)=[tbl_CompanyBookings].[ID_Company]));
Code:
Private Sub Check253_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Check253 = -1 Then
Me.Text254 = DLookup("[Lot]", "[tblAutoGen]", "[Inuse] = -1")
Me.Text256 = DLookup("[Exp]", "[tblAutoGen]", "[Inuse] = -1")
Me.Text258 = DLookup("[Lot]", "[tblEthanol]", "[Inuse] = -1")
[Code] ....
I am using the code above on my form and it seems to be working. My question is there a way to populate a textbox (Text255) based off a login?
For example, lets say JSmith is loged in to the computer. Is there a way that JS could populate Text255? If then say JCarter is logged on, the JC populates Text255.
I would like to create a combobox on a form in which a user has three selections: negative, positive, other.
If negative is chosen a textbox auto-populates with "none detected".
If positive is chosen the text box populates with "positive" and
If other is selected the text box populates with "unspecified".
Got a bit stuck in a database. I have a form based on a query. On the form I have 4 comboboxes.
The combo boxes filter eachother without a problem (based on custom select query)
Now I want after the fourth combobox value is selected, I want to populate a text field with a value from a different column from the master query (after the 4 selections only 1 value should be possible)
Master query contains 5 columns:
- group
- type
- job
- insurance
- charge
combo1 selects group (and filters records)
combo2 selects type (from remaining records and filters again)
combo3 selects job (from remaining records and filters again)
combo4 selects insurance (from remaining records and filters again)
Combo4 is based on following query:
-column1
Insurance
Total=Group by
Show=yes
-column2
Job
Total=Where
show=no
Criteria [forms]![name].[combo]
This works great and the dropbox only shows 1 OF EACH DIFFERENT record
If I add a text box and want to see the "charge" value, that I thought I could use the ME.text-code. But in order to do this, I have to add the charge column into the query of Combo4.
If I do this, the dropbox for insurance gives me multiple values that are the same. Is there any way to make this work?
I am fairly new to Access and trying to populate a text box based on whether other textboxes throughout the form contain a date or are null, so as I update the progress of work the textbox that I have located in the header will indicate the status of work flow, this is what I thought might work but I seem to be doing something wrong.
Code:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Null, "New", "")
Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Not Null, "Open", "")
Status = IIf([Approved_Date] Is Not Null, "Approved", "")
Status = IIf([Actioned_Date] Is Not Null, "Actioned", "")
Status = IIf([Tested_Date] Is Not Null, "Tested", "")
Status = IIf([Closed_Date] Is Not Null, "Closed", "")
End Sub

In my quality control database QC techs will be entering in test results. Each quality control entry they put in will have a product and lot number it is related too.
My question is about making data entry easier for the QC techs. When two jobs are being run at once, the techs may have to alternate between which jobs they enter, meaning a different product and lot number. It would be frustrating for the QC techs to enter in a product code and lot number for every entry they make.
Can the lot number field be automatically populated when the tech selects a product? Basically, if the tech selects product A, can the last lot number value for product A automatically populate the field in the new entry?
Edit: Currently I have the "solution" of making two instances of the entry form with each lot number entered on the different one. This allows the QC Techs to use the CTRL+ ' to populate the last record, allowing them to quickly enter the product code, lot number, and date of the job they are working on.
Dear All:
I have created a form using access 2000. So far, this form already has data and dates in a combox in this format: mm/dd/yyyy.
In the AfterUpdate of the date combobox, I did this:
If graduation_date = #2/1/2004# then
Text_Graduation_date = "dated this first day of february two thousand four."
End If
End Sub
In addition, I have defined many other dates as well using the code above. It works well when I choose the date form the combobox, the other textbox populates, but there are so many more dates in the combo!
Is there a way to auto-populate the textbox with the appropriate text as I scroll through the form?
Thanks,
Dion
