Forms :: Showing Image From Table Using Combo Box Selection
Apr 9, 2014
I am a novice to Access and in order to get some training in my workplace I need to show how access can be applied to my role.
I have a table of information consisting of 3 fields:
Motor manufacturer
Model
Attachment (picture of particular car)
I want to have someone able to select the manufacturer and Model from Combo boxes and this will pull up the image associated with this model.
There are more than 1 model for each Motor manufacturer so you may have:
manufacturer Model
Ford Fiesta
Ford Mondeo
VW Beetle
VW Golf
Fiat 500
You must not be able to select the wrong model for manufacturer, i.e.
Ford 500
The images are currently saved onto the table as an attachment,
This may be wrong as well,
This may be a simple task to do, but hopefully I can get it running smoothly and show this is the right tool for the job.

I have been looking some information on changing image based on form combo box selection on form.
I manage to do case by case but i need it in a simple code because their will be many employees just to avoid adding case by case code for each one.
Private Sub Emp_IDCombo_AfterUpdate()
Select Case Emp_IDCombo.Value
Case "AM-001"
Imageholder.Picture = "C:UsersAMGDesktopam-001.jpg"
Case "AM-002"
Imageholder.Picture = "C:UsersAMGOne DocumentsHR & Admin DatabaseEmployee Picturesam-002.jpg"
End Select
I have employees table where all images location is saved in text field and i have a combo box on form which is employee id.
Tables relationship
Employees_table [PK] to Contracts_table [FK] via field name {emp_ID}
Fields Name
Combo Box name on form Emp_IDCombo and row source is SELECT Employees_table.Emp_ID, Employees_table.EmployeeName, Employees_table.Emp_Pics FROM Employees_table;
Text field is located in employees_table called [Emp_Pic] for images location.

I'm working on a wine database (for ages now...). I'm currently struggling getting the following to work. I have a form in which one can select the name and vintage of a wine using a combo box, after which also a picture will be shown of that wine. I have the pictures as attachments in a table. One can then press a button to close this form and go to another form in which one can edit all the details of the selected wine. Problem: I can't get the picture to show.
I have a reasonably simple form with a combo box, a text box, a button and an attachment field in which a picture should show.
I made a query to select the id, name and vintage from the wine table. I couldn't select the attachment field for the pic in the wizard, so I added that myself in the Design View. The Query for the combo box now reads:
Code:
SELECT Wijn.Id, Wijn.Naam, Wijn.Vintage, Wijn.Plaatje FROM Wijn ORDER BY Wijn.[Naam], Wijn.[Vintage];
(translation: Naam = name | Plaatje = picture)
It neatly shows name and vintage in the drop down list. Once selected it only shows the name of the wine in the combo box and I use VBA to fill the Text Box with the vintage of the selected wine. The VBA I use is:
Code:
Private Sub cmbNaamWijn_Change()
Me.txtVintage.Value = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(2)
End Sub
All works fine. Also when I pres the button, the wine I selected opens up and can be editted and the select form nicely closes. The only problem is the fact that I cannot get the picture to show!
I inserted an attachment field with the name: attImage. In the VBA code I added the line:
Code:
Me.attImage.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
Doesn't work. With debugging I do see it gets the correct value form the table. I get an error message stating "Method or data member not found", so Picture is not available for the attachment object I guess. If I look at what is available, I can't select anything useful. So my next try was adding an image control with the name: ImageWine and the VBA code in the On Change property
Code:
Me.ImageWine.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
results in the following: Run-time error '2220'. Microsoft Access can't open the file '[FilenamePicture]'. Logical in a way I guess, since there's no path in there. I also tried the Bound Object Frame, but that resulted in the same problem as the attachment try described above.

I have a form frmCrisisSupportWorkers with a tab control on the form. On the first tab, Personal Info there is a combo box called cboLocation. It is next to the Town/City.
I have a text box that updates the postcode after the selection is made below it but that is as the post codes are stored in the combo box and I just put the column for the postcode in the control source of the text box.
I can't do that for state as I have it stored in another table and use a numeric identifier to show which state is selected.
I want to have a text box below that auto updates the state once a town is selected but I can't seem to get it working.

I need to show an image called PAID if my hidden field Paid Date has a date in.
I thought this would be straight forward but so far nothing.
I have my images within the database itself on Access 2010, so I am not referencing any in a C drive or other location.
Code:
Private Sub Report_Current()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If paiddate = Date Then
Paid.Visible = True
Else
Paid.Visible = False
End If
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Error detected, error # " & Err.Number & ", " & Err.Description, vbOKOnly, "Error"
End Sub
But with no joy.

I have created a combo box with the values I need from a table. Once I select the correct record from the drop down box I'd like to be able to open the table with just that one record being displayed. Thanks for your help.

I have made a form to enter daily timesheet info for personnel. I have on this form a combo box with different job descriptions, with this info located in a "job description" table. Once all info is entered on this form, I want all info to be entered into my "main time table".
It seemed to be working ok, until I printed out my report based on my main time table. In the area where my job description should be, I don't get the actual wording I had selected from the job description table (using the combo box), only the ID number.steps to have the selected text (from a combo box) saved in the recordset of another table?

Access 2007
Inside main form f_order
I have a subform f_filter_nycklar
with only one column [Serie nr].
A list of unique serial numbers.
10001B
10002B
10003B
... to
99999B
The subform is based on q_filter_nycklar which in turn is based on tbl_filter_nycklar
I have two unbound combo boxes both based on tbl_filter_nycklar. I want chose starting number [ex 14001B], and end number (ex 14050B) and the subform to filter all numbers from first to last based on that selection.
I later want to copy this selection and past append into another subform on the same main form.
I have tried to set condition in q_filter_nycklar
>=[Forms]![f_filter_nycklar]![F] Or <=[Forms]![f_filter_nycklar]![T]
It does not work
-With condition blank the combo boxes list all available numbers and the subform continuously lists all numbers
-With condition the combo boxes list all available numbers but subform is blank no matter what I chose in the combo boxes (including leaving blank)...

I am having a problem entering the 2nd column of a combo box.This is a lookup combo looking at a table called Accessories. The combo is looking up 4 columns in the table, the first column is called "Action" the 2nd column is called "Item". I click on the combo box in the form and decide on the action I want and click that row, it then enters the action I have clicked. But it is the "Item" column I want to enter on the form not the "Action" column.
This only works if I make "Item" the first column which I do not want to do. I want to keep the combo columns in the order they are but enter the 2nd column not the first. I have tried making the bound column the 2nd column but it still enters the 1st column. I am sure access must be capable of doing this but I cannot work out how. It seems you can only enter whatever is in the 1st column.

I have some images stored in a SQL Table which is linked into Access. These images have to be stored in the database as I also reference them on other platforms (Android, Web etc).
In my Access programme I need to display a continuous form / report showing each image. Now, good old Access cannot display multiple images stored in the database on a continuous form. It can only do this if it is referencing the path to the image.
When the user views the form they will only see about 12 images at a time. I thought of a workaround which is to write the database images back to file to a local temp directory when the user loads the form. The user would be happy to wait for say 10 to 15 seconds whilst the form loads.
However, I cannot find an efficient algorithm to write the images back to a file. The one I am using is a BinarytoString algorithm by motobit which is fine for very small images, but anything over 100kb (which is still pretty small) it goes sooooo slow.
How to quickly write an image stored as a long binary in an Access DB back to a file? Or do I need to crack open my Visual Studio and write some C# DLL to use instead...?

I'm trying to create an access database to make an inventory of my model trains.
I have a main entry form (frmTrain) where I enter all sorts of info regarding e.g. a locomotive. This info is then stored in a table (tblTrain).
In the main entry form, I've put a combo box (cmbCountries) linked to a query (qryCountries) which queries the country codes from a table (tblCountries) that has three fields:
ID (autonumber)
CountryCode (short text) (containing the country codes UK, FR, DE, ...)
FlagFile (short text) (containing the name of the flag picture, e.g. UK.png)
The flags are stored as *.png files in a folder Flags that is in the same folder as the database file. I have chosen this approach instead of putting the flag pictures in an OLE field in tblCountries because I'd like to avoid being stuck to *.bmp files (don't support transparency). I'd also like to avoid having to mention the complete file path in the field FlagFile
I created a form (frmCountries) to easily add countries to tblCountries as needed.
Now back to the main entry form. The selection made in cmbCountries is stored in the field 'Countries' in tblTrain. When a country is selected in cmbCountries, I'd like that the corresponding flag is displayed next to the combo box.
I found an example on the web where an image field was used to display the flag, let's say with the following code:
Private Sub cmbCountries_Change()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
and where the combo box had as row source (not using qryCountries):
SELECT tblCountries.ID, tblCountries.CountryCode, [Application].[CurrentProject].[path] & "Flags" & [FlagFile] AS Expr1 FROM tblCountries ORDER BY tblCountries.[Code];
The problem with this example is that, if you select in frmTrain e.g. UK, the UK flag is then displayed across all records in frmTrain. So the image field is not the appropriate field to display the flag in frmTrain and I guess an unbound/bound (?) object frame should rather be used.
How to display correctly the flag picture for every individual record in frmTrain corresponding to the country chosen in cmbCountries.

There are 2 issues I am trying to figure out for an Access2007 form:
1) I should first state that I am working off of 3 tables:
a) Marketers
b) Companies that belong to those marketers
c) Points of Contacts (POC) for each Company
2) In my frmMain, I have 2 combo boxes. The first loads the second and the second loads a CompanyID text field (IDc) that the subform bases for which record info to pull. How do I get the CompanyID (and subform) fields to load blank upon form open and until the 2nd combo box selection is made?
3) A company that doesn't have any POCs entered yet won't load its CompanyID even though it DOES have an ID number. Well the Id not being changed doesn't change the POC info either. I am guessing it's because there is no info to fill in the subform yet. However, I need to be able to still pull up the blank fields so I can ADD a POC.

I am trying to auto populate the text boxes in the form based on drop down from the combo box. As you can see in the form Frm_Input, this works fine for FL, but for some reason it will not populate for Skill, Role, FLM and Location. The table it is linking to is Tbl_Names. Why as I have changed the column source?

I am trying to write a query that gets all the telephone hours from a worker done under supervision in a town (qry_svhoursbytown). I have a table that has the workers details, including town (Crisis_support_workers), then another table that has what hours each worker has done (Supervision_Hours). The town is selected from a combo box on the form (frmSearch), under the heading �total hours by location�.
I try and select Bathurst then press recalculate results and in the text box next to supervision hours, it says 66, but if you look in the Supervision_Hours table, there is only 11 hours for the workers that are in Bathurst.
In the query, I have the sum total of the hours field in the Supervision_Hours table, the Town field from the Crisis_support_workers table with the total selected as Where and in that criteria I have [forms]![frmSearch]![ComboTown], then I just have the town field displayed.
What do I need to change to get it to sum correctly?
I have attached the database below so people can take a look.

I have a table called Auction, it has three fields, seller, iid, and start_time.
I made a combo box on a forum and in the I have a query,
My question is, I have a few combo box, can I have a user select a seller, but it will automatically populate in the same row, the iid and start_time for this seller?
How do I do this, I can't have separate combo box and have user select for each seller, iid and start time because it wouldn't match it to that seller on the same row.

I'm building a test registration form, and I want to populate 2 additional fields based on the TestID ComboBox selection. This same TestID table has a Requirement and Expected result field, that I want to display for the end user, to make sense of the test in question. Multiple fields in the ComboBox does not work since you cannot select a single testID; you can click on the relevant testID, but the table remains in view, rather than displaying only the relevant testID.

I 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.
