I am new to access but I am creating a form on access 2010 for a Pass Request. On the form so far I have two cascading combo boxes that work great so far. The problem is that once a name is selected from the second combo box(cboFullNames) I want a textbox underneath to populate(txtOrg). I have tried using requery and refresh but it never works. The only thing that seems to pull up the information is pressing the refresh button.
I have a text box that displays a name of a law from one table, based on that law name I want to populate a combo box with different options on how to comply with that law that come from a different table. The compliance options I need to pull in are different for each law. Finally I would like to have the selected option saved in the table the laws are coming from.
I have tried using a rowsource query [Form]![form1]![Law] for the combo box of law options but keep getting errors.
Now I have a combo box "cbo_items" and a text box "txt_selectedItems", I want to populate text field with items selected from the combo box, every time i select an item it appears in text box and to be separated with comma, so text box appears like this ( item1, item2, item3), and after finishing the whole thing the result appears in lable "lbl_result" as "total items selected: 3 items".
The main issue I'm having is trying to populate a text box based on a combo box selection. I've found threads on that - the twist that is throwing me for a loop is that I'm dealing with two different forms.
I have a main/welcome form with two combo boxes on it. Based on the user's selections in these two combo boxes, two different forms are opened for data entry. For instance, box 1 has A, B, C and box 2 has x, y, z. If a user chooses B and z, then form B and form z are opened. What I want is for a text box to be populated on one of the opened forms, not the same (main/welcome) form. In other words, when B and z are chosen, I would like there to be a textbox autofilled with "z" on form z.
If var1(x) = "" Then var2(y) = "" If var1(x) = "1" Then var2(y) = "Set" If var1(x) = "2" Then var2(y) = "Act" If var1(x) = "3" Then var2(y) = "Prod"
' this is where I am having trouble- var 4(w) holds the name of the text box that I wish to use on my form ' and var2(y) holds the data I wish to place in the text box ' so how can I tell the code that the data in var4(w) ,290 for example, is actually a textbox name instead of ' just a numeric variable??
Private Sub text458_AferUpdate() If Graduation_date = 2/1/2005 Then
TEXT_GRADUATION_DATE = "DATED AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK THIS FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND FIVE."
End Sub
The Graduation_date is a combobox where the dates are selected. In a textbox titled "TEXT_GRADUATION_DATE", it should return "DATED AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK THIS FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND FIVE."
I have text boxes in a form displayed in a continous form with rows and columns. For ex. I populated textbox in column1, then edit some textboxes in column1. Once I go the column2 to populated textbox in column2, textbox1 is default to its orginal data, it doesn't hold the data I made changed to.
I have a complex problem: I have a form that displays the result of a query in a listbox (lst_dp_results).
Upon selecting a result in the listbox other data about the selected record is displayed on the same form in listboxes Code:Private Sub lst_dp_results_AfterUpdate() With Me.lst_dp_productname .RowSource = _ "Select M_Paint.Product_Name FROM M_Paint " & _ "WHERE M_Paint.Catalogue_Code = '" & Me.lst_dp_results & "'"End Sub As all these fields are listboxes displaying a single value based on the "rowsource" string, they are not editable.
I will like to have these as textboxes instead of list boxes but I guess textboxes do not have anything like 'rowsource'...
Can anyone suggest some method to display value from a field in a textboxt AND be able to edit it??
I have a text box that I'd like to update from a table like a combo box. I text box is for a order type depending on the order type there can be a sub order type. How I would like to handle this is to have the list box with the primary order types and after the user chooses a primary they can type a semicolon and are given a list of sub order types. Is this possible?
Been having trouble setting up a combo box in a form that displays data from the same line in the table into a text box.
I am trying this with a memo field without any luck. I am using a 2 column query for the combo box, the first column contains the name and the second contains the requirements (memo).
I have put in the after update code:
Private Sub CustName_AfterUpdate()
Me!CustReq = Me![CustName].Column(2)
End Sub
Can anyone please shed light on what I'm doing wrong?
Probably an easy one here...I have a series of cascading combo boxes where once the last once it chosen, I'd like some sales info to populate in a group of text boxes. What command would I use for this?
Also, I have a checkbox that I'd like to use to either enable or disable a textbox as well. Any ideas?
Hello, This is my first time posting here and I hope someone can help me. I am not experienced with coding in access and only recently started using forms.
I am trying to create a text box that automaticly fills in once a selection is made in a combo box.
There are only 2 tables and 1 form I am working with. Table 1 has columns "code" and "bu". The second table has several columns, all blank, that the form fills in.
The combo box is working correctly, it displays all the "code"s. Once the code is selected I would like a text box to display the "bu" column.
I have a combo where the list is populated with a bit of VB code to create a two field list. When the user selects the item they want from the list it displays the item in the combo box and should populate a text box in the same row with the value from the second column.
This combo is part of an orders subform and the user is selecting a product from the list which displays the product_name and the product_id.
The problem is that the product_id is not filled in and access returns the following error: Run-time error ‘3101’: The Microsoft Jet database cannot find a record in the table ‘product_table’ with key matching field(s) product_id.
This is the VB code that populates the list : [code] Private Sub comboCatagory_ID_AfterUpdate() Dim sProd_description As String sProd_description = "SELECT products_table.product_id, products_table.prod_description " & _ "FROM products_table " & _ "WHERE products_table.prod_catagoryID = " & "'" & Me.comboCatagory_ID.Column(0) Me.comboProd_description.RowSource = sProd_description Me.comboProd_description.Requery End Sub [end code]
Hi, I'm in the process of building a program in access 2003 for estimating roofs, I've ran into a little problem, as described below. any suggestions would be very useful
Populating the text box’s that relate to the chosen combo box’s with the sum of a calculation.
In other words if X combo box is chosen (There are many combo boxes to choose from) populate xx text box with the sum of a calculation.
Refer to the print screen example of my program: http://www.roofmart.net/Rest.asp
Notice under the label felts the 15lb 36” felt combo box is chosen and it displays the value of 11 and next to the combo box is a text box that displays the value of 25 The calculation will be (11*25) = 275 this value of 275 must be added to the text box values that are being shown in the forms header under 30yr where it reads $4,606.80 and 40 yr $6002.80 only, this is because the 30yr comp and the 40 yr comp combo boxes are the only chosen roof types under the label roof types above the felt label. Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks -- Any help with be greatly appreciated.
I'm new to access. Hope someone can offer some help!
I have created a simple database to better organise some day-to-day office data management. For instance, I have a form (just) to record event attended by staff. The data would then be output as a brief report on overall office activities. Since it's event-oriented, staff attendance is just one complementary information. I went through most of the post re multi-select. I understand that it may not be a good idea to return values from multi-select list boxes into a text field, as it would be problematic for using data-analysis in the future.
In my case, I just need to have a text box, neatly (and easy for user, too) shows who attended. As suggested in one of the posting, I follow the instruction of http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;210203. But it doesn't seem working. I attach my databsae (sorry, it's very simple, as I want to test whether the multi-select work).
Your help would be greatly appr:confused: :confused: :confused: ciate!
Also, what about if I group option button, will it allow multiple return by the way?
I have two questions. I have a form with 2 combo boxes. The first pulls from a simple list. Once you make a choice, the second combo box is then filtered by the first. This works correct, except that once a choice is made in the first, the filter is locked. If you change the first combo box's value a second time it does not effect the second box. The query that I am using for the second combo box has two columns that pull the first 50 characters of a pair of memo fields. Quote: SELECT MSSS.SS_ID, Left([Application_Name],50) AS Expr1, Left([Description],50) AS Expr2, MSSS.Site_Code FROM MSSS WHERE (((MSSS.Site_Code)=[Forms]![Edit or Delete Requests]![Combo6])); These fields are then used to populate 2 text fields using an event procedure. Quote: Private Sub Combo10_AfterUpdate() ' Display Partial Application Name and Description based on choice Me!txtApplication_Name = Me!Combo10.Column(1) Me!txtDescription = Me!Combo10.Column(2) End Sub This is working fine, but it starts the next problem.
I need to change the form to include the entire memo field into a text box. I was using the columns of the second combo box to fill them in. Since the combo box is limited to only 50 characters, i could only grab part of it. I am guessing there is a much better way to accomplish what I need, but I am too inexperienced with forms and vb to come up with it. Below are the fields I need from table MSSS Business_Name Application_Name Description Acronym Level_1_Support Level_2_Support Escalation_process Troubleshooting Priority Links Modified Disabled
I have a report based on a query. I want to populate 6 Text Boxes with Dates from fields in another query. The date fields I want to add will be headings for columns that represent weeks (they change all the time so can�t be hard figures). The two queries are not really related by any common field. I am not able to get this working because the fields I want are not part of the query that is the Record Source for the Report.
Is there any way that I can do this? Can I change the record source of just the text boxes?
I need to find out how to populate a blank form with the results of a query i.e. by selecting an item in a combo box and populating the form with the results.
Can a form be directly Bound to a dao recordset? I read an article form microsoft showing it being done in ado by setting the recordset property of a form.
I am following mice and am trying to build a form that lets me add a new mouse to the database. I want to be able to either enter the the unique mouse id of the mother if I know it or be taken to another form that lets me identify the mother from the females already in my system. I know this is possible because I have seen examples of it where, in the find mother form, I give the strain name in a combo box which narrows down the selection of mice in the DOB combo box which in turn narrows down the unique mouse id which is the information I really want. I then want to carry that id back to the original form to enter it as the mother id.
In an ideal world the database would recognize this id being put in for a mother and note in the mothers record that she has had a litter. The litter id, which I am currently composing of motherid&fatherid&DOB, would go into the mothers record.
I have a table that has the part number, the description, and the usage.
I am stumped on trying to get just the 2 fields to populate into this subform (datasheet view), when the part number is selected. I may have several lines of part numbers. How do I go about populating this form? The user will indicate the actual quantity. The quantity changes per order, yet the usage stays the same.
I have 2 forms. Information from one field links both forms (though it is not the primary key). Using a "open form" button I want the field on the second form to be populated with the contents from the same field on the first form, when a user selects the open form button. I imagine all of this is very doable in SQL, however I am using Access GUI to construct my database and have no time to learn SQL at this stage. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Form1 and Sub Form2...Form1 is a list of tasks: Each task has a quantity of Items.The forms are in Datasheet format.I have a list of people who can only do specific tasks and at present my Form2 is able to only select the relevant people for that task.The only way to "Trigger" who can do which task is to populate what quantity of work I want them to do. ie. create a link.
Is there anyway of clicking the little + button on Form1 that it prepopulates the total quantity to Form2 therefore creating a link and therefore being able to select who can do that task.If you look at the pic I want Items in the dropdown box to pre populate with the same amout as in the Form1 Items ie "1"
A subform on a main form is not populating after the user clicks on the subform and then returns to the main form and updates the field which the subform is linked to. The first time the subform populates absolutely okay; however once the user clicks on the subform and then returns to the mainform and updates the field which the subform is linked to the subform goes blank.
