When I'm applying a sort and filter in a form, Access is updating the Filter and Order By properties of the form, so that it is possible to re-use in conjunction with Filter on Load and Order By on Load properties. However, a consequence of this is that when the form is closed, it prompts the user whether they want to save the design of the form. I want to circumvent this as I don't want to re-use the sort and filter and I don't want to be prompted to save the design of the form.
Although I can circumvent this by closing the form using a method that doesn't prompt for saving, the additional complication here is that the form in question is in the Navigation subform of a Navigation Control. Hence when I click on a another Navigation button, it (not me) closes my current form and hence prompts me whether I want to save the design of the form (if I have been sorting and/or filtering). I can't see how to circumvent this and the prompting is resulting in unacceptable usability.
I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function
Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String)
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'"
End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.
I have a "Date Select" form that is linked directly to a table that only has one column in it, "Dates". The column in the table is a Date/Time column and is sorted in date order, Lowest to Highest, and when any new dates are added to the table (through another form) they re-sort into date order.
The "Date Select" form allows the user to highlight a date and open a record containing information logged against that date, however the dates on the "Date Select" form will not sort into the logical date order that the table that feeds it is in!
I've set the "Date Select" form Property "Order By" to [Datse_List DESC], (Dates_List being the name of the List Box on the form that displays the list of dates from the table), and set the "Order By On Load" to "Yes", but still the dates in the list box remain out of order.
Dates are entered into the table "Dates" column retrospectively / randomly.
how to make the dates in the list box conform to Lowest to Highest?
I have a form I would like to sort by:
first - by App_Flag (a yes/no field) - have all the clients with "yes" on top
second - by App_Date - from the earliest to the latest
The query sorts it fine but the form does not - even if I requery the form (added a requery button).
Can a macro or coding make it sort it the way I need it?
Essentially I have a table for rooms around my school and what the rooms contain. Most of the details for the rooms are Boolean (e.g. If the room has a projector, Yes/No).
So what I am trying to do is have a form where i can select a checkbox(s) and if i tick one, a query that holds all the room details will only show rooms with projectors in them, which i can then display those results in another form.
My question is how do I get the check boxes in the form to narrow down the room results to only show the ones with the criteria i have selected in the form?
Hello there!
This is my very first post on this forum. I started to work with Acces and SQL only two weeks ago, so my questions probably are newbie-stuff, but please bare with me and please help me anyway :-)
In my form I've inserted a list that shows data from one of my tables. The posts are ordered by 'ID' (and I know how to change this). But I want to make a button just right of it, that, when it's clicked, sorts the list by 'first name' instead.
How do I make such one???

When I "Add Existing Fields" I'd like the list to be sorted alphabetically...how to do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOk what I have is a List box with four rows. (Name, Assignment, Location, Description) These are all labeled with a frame at the top that when that frame is selected that row is put into alphabetical order.
The next thing I have is a combo box which also sorts the List box by "major location". The combo box has the following (All, Fort Mills, Corporate, Pequot Lakes, Savage, Retail) When one of those is selected the location row then shows only one of the following locations and the others are removed.
Here is where the problem comes into place. I want to be able to select a major location, then be able to sort with the frame. When I select a major location, and then click on the frame, lets say "Name" the list resets back to everything from that table and not just that certain "Major Location" that I have selected. I need to sort whatever is selected in that "Major Location" by whatever is selected in that frame. thanks for any help, I know its a hard one.
I need to manage a list of, in this case "medications", with this list the most common "meds" are on the top of the list. there will be at times new "meds" added that should be at the top of the list. I want to create a unbound box that will let me drag the "meds" up or down in the list. The best emample i know of is the way you can set the "Tab" fields on a form to move the tabs stops.

I tried entering the following code in the Forms Order By event but it didn't work
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.OrderByOn = True

Data in table “tblEmployees”:
EmpName GroupNum
Jon Group1
Sam Group2
Tom Group1
Bob Group1
Hal Group2
Dan Group3
Cal Group2
With sample table above, can I write a query in Access that lists the data by GroupNum based on my criteria, say Group2 1st, then Group3, then Group1? Basically, how do I make the result show:
Sam Group2
Hal Group2
Cal Group2
Dan Group3
Jon Group1
Tom Group1
Bob Group1
Ok, I am a noob at reports and did a search on this. My searching DID NOT HELP ME! I thought I would make that clear :D Maybe someone can tell me what to look at for this issue.
I need to take one report, allow the users to easily use a dropdown or listbox on a form to Sort and Group many fields of data. To recap: The user will click on name in the list and it will sort report by name. Also I need them to be able to select up to three sort criterias.
EX: Sort by Name then LastName then Company
Please guide me to the answer. Thanks.
The recordsource is a query with over 6,000 records. The form currently lists the records in datasheet format with header and footer for things like buttons and filtering. The client wants to be able to go from page to page of the souce query, showing 100 records on the form at a time.
But at the same time, they should be able to filter or sort the data source in it's entirety. The person who created the form came up with what seems like an awful solution to the problem. It seems to use a random number generator to determine how many records to portray at a time. I see this in the code as well as in operation, because the number of records on page to page varies. It doesn't even start out at 100! Worse yet, using a sort on the page only sorts the records that are visible.
I am trying to put together a form where employees will be entering maintenance information into my database. One of the requirements for this data is that when they perform repair work on an asset, they have to list a problem, cause and remedy. These are codes that are specific to each asset.
The closest thing I can think of to what I am trying to acheive is the selectors on car search websites. You select a MAKE, and then the MODEL list is narrowed down based on that, then you pick the TRIM, which is narrowed down based on the model selection. I have an Excel spreadsheet of the Assets(Failure Class), Problems, Causes, and Remedies...I'm just not sure how to put this into Access to get the desired output. I have attached a sample of the Excel spreadsheet for illustration.
I believe I'm going to have to put each of the columns in a seperate table and use relationships..but I'm not sure about that.
What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
On a form I have a:
control called "FilterListBox"
list box called "lstCustomer"
option Box called "optCustomerType"
When the user selects an option in the option box, "FilterListBox" is updated to either "1", "2" or "1 or 2"..One of the fields in the query for "lstCustomer" is "CustomerType" and its criteria is set as follows:
[Forms]![frmPrintHowCustomersPaidInvoice]![FilterListBox]
if "FilterListBox" = 1 the query for "lstCustomer" returns the correct records
if "FilterListBox" = 2 the query for "lstCustomer" returns the correct records
But if "FilterListBox" = 1 or 2, no records are returned.
I have a table Department
ID

I have a table Employee_Listing..This table includes:
Employee_ID (Primary Key)
LAST_NAME

INITIALS
I have a table DISCREPANCY_LIST..This table includes:
DATE (Auto completes to current date)
EMPLOYEE_ID (Primary Key) (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
LAST_NAME (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
FIRST_NAME (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
INITIALS
DEPARTMENT
NUMBER_OF_UNITS
NUMBER_OF_DESCREPANCIES
NUMBER_OF_OK_UNITS
I have a form - DISCREPANCY_LIST..This form enters information into the DISCREPANCY_LIST table.The initials combo box is set: Limit to List Yes and Allow Value List Edits No If the user enters initials that are not stored in the Employee_Listing table they receive an error. Instead of an error I would like for them to receive a message asking if they would like to add these initials to the Employee_Listing table.If the user clicks Yes, then it will bring up the Employee_Listing form.If the user clicks No, then they are told to enter valid initials.
I have a list box, List3, in a form, which is populated from a query. The list populates correctly.I added a command button which I want to open a new edit form with the selected record from the List3 control.I used this code on the DoubleClick event - it opens the form EditEquipment, but the form does not have the relevant record, ItemID, open in it. It's an autonumber field and primary key. Is there something I now need to do in the EditEquipment OnLoad event or something like that?
Private Sub Command5_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
If Len(Me.List3 & "") > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "EditEquipment", acNormal, , _
"[ItemID] = '" & Me.List3 & "'"
End If
End Sub
I have a form which contains a multi select list box of team leaders. Unbound getting source from tl table. Based on one or more selection from user I want to run query that brings up those team leaders. When I have multi select to none in list box and select one to the query works fine. When I change it to simple or expanded it shows nothing. I have query criteria to get data from form list box.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that runs a parameter query identifying which StudentID it wants to run the report of, and what month/year.I want to leave the month/year as a parameter, but what I want to do is get the record that I selected from the listbox (IE. student 1000) and then when I click on Run Report Card, it wouldn't ask me for the parameter of the student, but just the year, and then it would run the report card for the student I selected.
I tried doing the open report macro and in the where row I put
[StudentID] = [Forms]![Form1]![List12]
but it didn't seem to work.
I have a list box populated with the movie title of my movie database. The form, which is based on the same table, shows the movie description in a memo field. Currently, in order to sync the list box with the main form, I'm using the following code in the AfterUpdate of the list box:
Code:
Private Sub lstDvd_AfterUpdate()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
On Error GoTo lstDvd_AfterUpdate_Error
If Not IsNull(Me.lstDvd) Then
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
[Code] ....
It works fine when I select a row in the list box. But, when I use the navigation buttons at the bottom to move to another record, only the main form moves to the next record (obviously). How I might sync the list box and the form when I move the form to another record?
Is it possible to make a form where you have two textboxes to search a table and show the search results in a list under the textboxes? Also making the list items clickable?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to resolve a problem with selecting multiple records.
I have a table called T_user and bound form called F_user.
This form displays all 3 fields from that table.
When I want to add a new user, I enter a name and select a department.
Some of the users work for few departments, so here is the question:
How to select multiple departments for one user?
The department field in F_user is set to LISTBOX, and the multi select option in properties is set to SIMPLE.
I can select multiple departments, but as we know it won't save in the table, it will leave it as NULL value.
How can I save the record then? In another form I need to select users from specific department, so lets say A.Smith, need to be visible in those few selected ones.
I have seen this [URL] .....
form this post [URL] .......
but unsure how can I make it work on my form.
My main form has a list box - user selects an item in the list box for editing. The selected item displays in a text box on the subform where the editing is to be done. User than makes corrections to the text box and clicks a button to save the changes. I have all of this working. But I can't figure out how to update the main form on this save button.
What is happening right now is the main form is not updating at all and the original selection in the list box is still highlighted. If I click within the list box, the list box updates with the correct entry.
What I need to happen is when the save button is clicked, that the listbox updates and the selection in the list box is deselected and then set focus on another text box that is on the main form.
(I was doing this as 2 separate forms and the edit form opened after the user selected the item and clicked a button (kept the first form open but not visible and based the text box on the list box) This worked but again when the user saved and returned to the first form even though I was able to setfocus to the text box, the list box kept the selection highlighted.)
I've created a database to track training courses. I'm having issues with selecting multiple trainers. I set up my table to lookup a "List" on the trainer column. I've entered 2 records into my form and it displays 6 records. See attach image.
