I have a Listbox that I use to find records in the Database. It has two fields, [ShootID] and [ShootDate]. It is curently sorted in the query by [ShootID] but I want the user to be able to change it to sort by [ShootDate] and then back again.
View RepliesIve created a form and one of the fields is a field called "Due Date"
I want to create a button that once pressed will sort the records in order of due date with the oldest being record 1.
How I can get a button to manipulate fields.
Ive got a set of buttons at the bottom of my form (Ive placed them in the footer) that were set up using Access automatically. They go to first, last, next and previous records. Ive also set up two extra, one that creates a new record and another that sets the record.
The thing is that the set record button I would actually like it to take the data in a field called "Frequency", add a random number to it and then set the record.
Hi,
I need help with listbox problem:
I made a listbox contains peoples name from A to Z.
I want to sort it via A to Z button press.
It's similar with customer phone list form in Northwind.mdb sample,
due to my limited knowledge, I can't replicate it using listbox.
Any sample to do this?
Thankyou.

I am using Access 2010 and the web database so having a bit of an issue. I have tried google but no luck really - seems complex and confusing.
Basically I have a table which has column 1 of the unique id and column 2 is the project name.
When you click the drop down on the form, I want it to show column 2 (the project name) and when you click this, on the form I want it to find that record.
Is it possible to put a listbox on a subform where it will allow you to find a record on the subform? The wizzard dosen't sem to allow me to do it!
View 5 Replies View RelatedBasically I want to type the ID(key) of a record table in a unbound text box and then by pressing a command button to be able to bring up that record (in form view). I do not want to use a combo-box.
So what do i write as VB code in the Private Sub mybutton_Click()
Table name is [ACTION_ID], ID field name is [ACT_ID] & text box name is [TEXT_BOX]
I am having issues with assigning search criteria for the "Find Next Button". I used the wizard and it does not ask what criteria to use for Find Next. I am assuming there is a bit of VBA I need to add to the generic Find Next button. This is what comes up when I use the wizard to create the button:
Private Sub Command118_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command118_Click
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindNext
Exit_Command118_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command118_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command118_Click
End Sub
How do I define the criteria for the next record. I want the db to move to the next record with the same [PtMRN].
How to create a button on my form that would find a random record. I would imagine I will be doing this through VB...
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am not sure where to start or go about creating message box that would display "No results found" if my queries return no results. My search of the forums hasn't been fruitful.
I have created one form that has a text box and a button that works as a search function to run through the tables and displays the applicable queries. Currently, if no results are returned nothing happens. Preferably I would like a message box to display stating that there were "No results found". I would assume that the code would be associated with the "Find" button. Here is the VBA code as it stands, again, I haven't even attempted to add code for a message box.
Private Sub Find_Click()
On Error GoTo Find_Click_Err
If DCount("Heading", "Service Desk Manual Query") > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Service Desk Manual Query", acViewNormal, acReadOnly
End If
[Code] .....
Find_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
Find_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume Find_Click_Exit
say i have a table called tblEmployees and i want to find people who have the same name but different employee numbers, can that be done with a query or will that require VBA code? i won't know the names ahead of time, i don't know who has the same name.
for example, columns:
first_name, last_name, employee_num, phone_num, office_num
and i want it to return James Smith with employee_num = 1234 and James Smith with employee_num = 9876.
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 have a form where I do a search and find the correct auditor in the listbox from the AuditorTable. This form is opened from a master form where I have the same fields in the table (ClientTable). What I need is that when I find the one, I double click it and the records from that auditor is passed to the client table.how to use Dlookup.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI wish to be able to count how many times a primary key is being used in another table. In other words:
I have a Game table that lists a set of games by catalogue number, CatalogueNo. I need to create a way to find out how many times that key has been used in a GameCopy table. In the GameCopy table I create a number of stock items (StockNo) using the CatalogueNo from the Game table.
If I can in some way create a query that simple lists each CatalogueNo with its total number of copies that will suffice. I know it is most likely very simple but I just do not know how to implement it within Access without using VBA.
I designed a simple form that has a listbox and a subform. I am using Northwind database for testing.
I would like to be able to display on a subform only records based on a value of a list box.
I created a listbox using a wizard and selected an option 'find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my list box'. This kind of works but it does not display all records matching criteria.
Attached print screen 1 shows my table and there are six records for 'Las Vegas' but my sub-form displays only three for Karen Toh (print screen 2) and all records for John Edwards are missing. I am not really sure how to fix this problem.
Ideally I would like to take this a step further and do another list box with Last Name and then filter data even further down so for example if I select Last Vegas and Edwards then the form would show me only matching records.
I built a form—frmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEvent, which contains various fields from tblEvent. The primary key field is called EventID.
I also build a subform—sfmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEventImages, which contains various fields from tblItem. One of those fields is ItemEventLink, which links records from tblItem to the EventID field in tblEvent. There is also an image box in this subform: filling in the field ImageFile with an image name (example: Logo.jpg) causes that image to display in the image box.
I’ve inserted the subform into the form using the Subform Wizard. Now I’m getting an error message that says "2450: Microsoft Access cannot find the reference form ‘sfmDataEntry’." Why this is popping up. The Link Master Fields and Link Child Fields sections of the property sheet are filled in correctly. Moreover, the subform records are still appearing, but the images linked to each record aren’t loading.
I am trying to create a button on an access form that will prompt the user to enter a search month and then export to excel all records in that database that match that month.
So, if the user prompt "what month" is October, then THE 30 records in the field [receivedate] that are in october (10/XX/XXXX) are exported to excel.
I'm in desperate need of a (simple I guess) code to allow me to send records from my listbox to a new form. Scenario goes as follows:
I use cascading combo boxes to narrow my available choices and finally end up with a listbox presenting the records filtered through cascading process. Now, I want to double-click on a record and load a new form with all this record's fields.
This is the code used to populate the listbox:
Private Sub FilterTypeList()
Dim strRS As String
' Filter the list box appropriately based on the combo box selection(s)
strRS = "SELECT qryTaxonomy.Type, qryTaxonomy.Article FROM qryTaxonomy"
[Code] ....
What is the code to open a form with the double-clicked record's fields, as described above?
So I created a search form which filters my results. Apparently I don't have enough posts to link to the source of the code though. The code is from this website, /forums/showthread.php?t=188663
I then wanted to allow users to double click a result in the listbox to take them to the form which contains details about that record, however the listbox doesn't point to the correct record.
-When nothing is specified in the search field, all records are shown in the listbox, but double clicking on the first record takes me to a form that has no information. Clicking the second record takes me to the Detail Form of the first record.
-When information is put into the search field, the results are filtered and only a few display, however clicking the first result again takes me to a blank form while the second result takes me to the first record of the unfiltered list. There is no way to reach the Detail Form for the last result of the listbox.
-I tried right clicking the results in the listbox and copy pasting the information. The first result gave me a "0", the second a "1", and so on and so forth. This was the same whether or not the information was filtered or not.
-I tried switching to a combo box and got the same results.
I would like to use a listbox set to multiselect to add records to a junction table. I've been using code to accomplish this with checkboxes (love how it looks and works) but after moving my tables to Office 365 as the backend, linkedto a local frontend, sql does not like this particular set up, and I do not have the time or knowledge to sort out why. So what I need is a step by step to look at the many, in this case possible roles a contact can have, and choose one or more, which then creates a record in the junction table with the contact id and role id.
I would prefer to not use a combobox on a continuous form because every time a user goes to select roles he would have to scroll through all the choices for each separate role.
Hi all,
I have a very simple form that details loan machines for customers.
What I need is a very obvious sign on each record to see if the machine is in our stock or not.
A normal check box is an ovious answer but they are too small and my users complain (bigger glasses were an option :) ).
Ideally a toggle button or something that the user can click and it will change colour maybe between Green and Red (Please see attached screen shot) Green for in stock and red for out on loan. Any ideas or suggestions would be fantastic.
I've enclosed a screenshot as it tells the story pretty well by istelf.
I would simply like to be able to click any item in the listbox (populated from a query simply showing all records in a table). Once an item is clicked in the listbox, I'd like the form to go to that record (this is to enable quick finding and deleting of records).
I've been playing for a while, and can't figure out how to make Access go to the record that's selected in the listbox.
Thanks for any help.
Steve
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???

I created a button for a form using a built-in macro function for sorting records,
and I am returned with the following error:
THE COMMAND OR ACTION 'SortAScending' ISN'T AVAILABLE NOW.
Is there any work-a-round code to fix?
I'm displaying records in a subform that is in the datasheet format.I would like a sort button on my main form so that I can click a column header, press this button and it can sort the datasheet ascending.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do I add a sort button to column headers? As depicted, I want to have a button next to the column header to sort alphabetically.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a form listing out a bunch of clients. There is a button associated with each client that pulls open a new form with additional client information. There is information that is calculated on the backend and stored in the database when a user is inserted or different fields updated (i.e. there are reports that are due different time frames after the clients admission date. I automatically populate the database with those dates once the clients admission date is updated).
The problem I am having is that when I enter a new client or update a current client with new information and then click the button to go to their details page, those auto-populated dates are not populated. I am calling a subroutine that is within a module when the button is clicked. The subroutine works fine at other instances throughout the application so I know there is no issue with the code. I even call it if they click the close button, but before the information is auto-populated, I had to run a Me.Requery on the close button. I think this is because the records are not actually being updated in the database. I even have a DoCmd.Save acForms, "Clients" command before running the Call updateDatabase subroutine, but that doesn't do the trick. I can't run the Me.Requery after the click of the details button because when I do that it always opens the details form to the first ORDER BY record. I think that I need to update the selected record and re-call it in order for this to work.
