Forms :: Text ForeColor Of ComboBox Fields
Aug 27, 2013
I am working on a database project using Access 2010 and encounter some ComboBox text color problem,
The form has a ComboBox that displays the Supplier Name. The Combo's source control is Supplier ID in the Products table which joints the Supplier Table containing the Supplier Name. To display the Supplier Name only, I use a column count of 2 (for VendorID and VendorName) and column width of 0";2" so as to hide the SupplierID.
VBA is used to dynamically change the ForeColor and BackColor (via the Control Property ".ForeColor" etc) of the text in the ComboBox and TextBox. This works well for all TextBoxes and the ComboBoxes with direct data from the Products Table. However, for the ComboBox of VendorName, the BackColor can change but the ForeColor always remains as black. I have tried using the Format query such as "[White];@;[White];@" which works on the TextBox and other ComboBox (with direct field data from table), but the situation remains the same on this ComboBox which uses join-table reference via the VendorID.

I have a question about for combobox. I have a field from my tables that a text only then I make in the look up property field to become combobox then row "source type is a value list" then,"Allow value list edits, I make it Yes". then in the form its possible for me now to add value list in the combobox. but I want that what ever I input to become a value list, that's all they can select for the value of that field. if they can type or add not listed in the value list I input, it will not possible & there's a msgbox will appear mentioning the "the value you input is not in the list..

In my Patients table i have a field called PatientID (AUTONUMBER) as my primary key I hve another problem. Is this possible as i hve been trying for two days now. I hve tried a lot of ways but i cant get it to work right. I have a table called dependents. ID , PatientID,,Dependents,DOB,Age id being the PK AND PatientID as a number I have a table called vitals. with ID,PatientID,PatientName( which is a dropdown of Dependents), hpp,sats etc. (This is a subform in datasheet style in another form)
In my table vitals i have the follwing for PatientName . comboxbox.
SELECT Dependents.Dependents, DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],Now())+Int(Format(Now(),"mmdd")<Format([DOB],"mmdd")) AS Age FROM Dependents;
So it selects fine in a dropdown like John 48, smith 36.
The problem i have is that it selcts all the records irrespective of PatientID.

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)I try to say this easy.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)
[code]....
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.the dropbox for insurance gives me multiple values that are the same. Is there any way to make this work?

In a Form I have a ComboBox set with a Control Source and Row Source.
I have several Unbound Text Boxes set to autopopulate based on the ComboBox selection.
I have two related (I think) issues:
One: Every time I open the form the Text Boxes are blank until I select an option from the Combo Box.
Two: If I make a selection in one record then move to another record, the information from the original record is still showing.

I am trying to get two different fields to autopopulate when I select a choice from a combo-box on my form.
I have a form called IncomeRcvdFrom, which takes its fields from the table "IncomeRcvd"
In the form, I have three fields that need to relate to each other and auto populate.
The first field is called "IncmType", which comes from a different table called "CategoriesList". There is another field called "IncmDescr" which also comes from the same table. The third field, called "Category" is a list box in that table that comes from another table called "CatType".
All three of these fields also are list boxes in the table "IncomeRcvd", where the source of these fields come from the "CategoriesList" and the "CatType" tables.
What I am trying to accomplish is so when someone selects an Account, or "IncmType", it auto populates the "IncmDescr" field, as well as the "CatType" field on the form.
So far, I have gotten the Account or IncmType and the IncmDescr fields to autopopulate each other, but the Category field either says "Name?", or I get the "type mismatch expression" error message. I also accidentally got the field to work one time, but it would only display the ID Key field and not the actual wording in the rows (i.e. Misc. Payment, Royalty, Rebilling, etc.)
I have checked my relationships, my control sources, and still can't get it to work.

I am trying to fetch combobox dropdown text (in the networks label ) into the email body but in vain.
Me.cmb_Network_1_data.Text is giving the RowID instead of the text inside the combobox.
Whichever networks are selected in the six dropdowns should go to email body as you can find in the attachement
Code:
Sub update()
Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim oEmailitem As MailItem
[Code]....

I have a combobox on an unbound form. After making a selection, I click a command button which opens a bound form to a new record. What I need to code next or add into the macro, is for the selection of the combobox to fill in the contact id, and contact name in the correct text boxes.
The combobox row source is: SELECT qryPBS.ConID, qryPBS.PBSName FROM qryPBS; bound column 1.

I have a form in which I have a combobox. The code in the row source is:
Code:
SELECT [tblBooks].AuthorFirst & " " & [tblBooks].AuthorLast AS Expr1 FROM tblBooks GROUP BY tblBooks.AuthorLast, tblBooks.AuthorFirst HAVING (((tblBooks.AuthorFirst & " " & tblBooks.AuthorLast)<>"") And ((Count(*))>1)) ORDER BY tblBooks.AuthorLast, tblBooks.AuthorFirst;
This is an unbound box.
The rest of the form contains bound textboxes and other bound comboboxes.
This form is processed by the following VBA code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAddBook_Click()
'Place the authors first and last name in an array
splitAuthor = Split(cboAuthor.Value, " ")
'Create a new record with the form information
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
[Code] ....
What happens is that it places all the records (Except those in the array) in a field and overwrites the values in that field.
I have used the same GoToRecord statement on other databases and it works just fine. I suspect that it is due to the unbound combobox.
What I need to find a way to place all the data in the corresponding fields of a new record including separating the author's first and last name when retrieved from the combobox. I just need to figure out how to get the data in the table somehow.

Trying to pull information from a text box on double click to populate a combobox on another form...
keeps coming up "type mismatch"
I call lngAccount as recognised on mouseover... ("Business Account" is the value I want)
I can't get it to work!
For info, the form I'm calling from is a subform located FrmMainMenu/FrmAccountsMainMenu and the control source is [Account]
the form I wish to populate in on FrmTransactions (it is a main form only) and the combobox is cboaccountselect - **I've seen the obvious mistake with no reference to this whatsoever, corrected it, and still not working**

I have a data base with names, email IDs, phone numbers of 5 types(example quality, security, IT,finance etc) of person from ten different project teams. I created a basic form for the end user to enter values and created fields for each of the person's name, email ID etc based on the personal type( liek quality, IT, finance etc) on each team. The background table contains records of almost 200 people now.
All of these people will be trained for one task and some will be trained for multiple tasks. I know how to make the combo box allow multiple values/selections but, i cannot list out all 200 personal names in the combobox's rowsource/value list. Is it possible to combine all different name fields and list out all personal(of one team), so that the end user can just select multiple names for that team who have been trained and so on. i need to set the rowsource of the combobox to the values of all personal from one team so the team leader can just go select who has been trained and who has not.

Can someone give me a jump start with code for changing forecolor...
On one form (form 1) I have a command button (cmd34) which has its text in Black (forecolor 335543)
On another form (form 2) I have a checkbox (chk45)
When the check box is checked I want the text on the command button to change to red (forelolor 255).
1. Where do i put the code? On the second form (On Close) or on the first form (On Open) or ???
2. Is the code something like
If me.chk45=true then
Cmd45.forecolor=255
Or am i just making that far too simplistic?

Text fields name:
Password
confirmpassword
Trying to achieve:
on "After update" event for Confirm password a code needs to find if both Passoword and confirmpassword are having the exact character (Case sensitive).
Below code doesn't recognize the Case. It allows as long as both words are same:
Dim StrString1, strString2 As String
StrString1 = Password
srtString2 = ConfirmPassword

I have a problem with the connection between the labels and fields in designing my form.Is there a command do eliminate the association between the two? If not I was thinking if there is a problem to delete the labels and make new ones but by doing this Access (2010) says the label is unassociated.

Most my short text fields on my form are normal, but some have scroll buttons like a memo box and it's annoying, especially because the user can't jump to the next field by pressing return.
How do I make them normal?

In a nutshell, I have a form where the 'Record Source' is a table titled 't_02_0_Assets'. I have several fields in the table that have foreign key references that utilize the Lookup Combo Box display control to allow users to select from a drop down list in the form.
The issue I am having is that I can't filter the text in the foreign key fields (only the ID's ).
My attempted solution was to create a control on the form (text box) and bind it to each of the foreign key ID's using the DLookUp function and then reference this control in the filter code.
My question is... how do I reference this DLookUp textbox in my filter VbCode?
I have attached a '.jpg' image of various aspects of the form including the filter code on the 'On Change' event.

I have several combo box fields in a bound form where they are selecting values from a list (values stored in a separate table) and then loading a number into the bound table field when selected.
How can I put a text prompt in these fields when loading the form which gets removed when focused and of course is not permitted to attempt a save into the bound numeric fields? I've done quite a bit of searching but can only find materials about doing this on bound text fields. I've also seen solutions using Nz which don't seem to work.
