Forms :: Two Comboboxes Don't Affect Each Other

Mar 12, 2013

In my database you can search on either number or name. I have therefor, two combo boxes. and it works well, except that...

When I pick by number first, and then try to pick another record using the name combobox, the number combobox still shows the first search I did. I would like the two comboboxes to interact with each other...

Forms :: Using ComboBoxes To Hide IDs

Jul 20, 2014

I usually use ComboBoxes to show a user-friendly name instead of an ID. For example, I would use a ComboBox of EmployeePK, FirstName + " " + LastName and set the first column as the control source but with 0" width.The issue is these are supposed to be read only. I can prevent the user from changing the field but I don't have a good solution for hiding the ability to select the drop down.

My current method is to create a transparent box over the combobox (so it can't be selected) then hide the dropdown arrow with a background colored rectangle.

Forms :: Cascading 2 Comboboxes From Another

Feb 12, 2015

I am trying to get get 2 comboxes to refresh from one when cascading. The first combobox (Location) works, but the second one (Catches) doesn't. All I get are the Key values of the catches rather than the values...

I am wondering if it my relationship set up of if my VBA needs to be altered to accommodate the requering the two comboboxes.

Code:
Private Sub cboCategory_AfterUpdate()
Dim sCatchLocation As String
Dim sCatch As String
sCatchLocation = "SELECT [tblLocation].[Location_ID], [tblLocation].[LocationCategory_ID], [tblLocation].[Location] " & _
"FROM tblLocation " & _

[Code] .....

Cascading ComboBoxes & Continious Forms.

May 5, 2005

I think I've solved a method to have cascading comboboxes on a continous subfrom.

The after update on the first box sets the query the drives the secondbox's rowsource, and blanks out all the boxes below it. And so on.


Dim EventTP As String
EventTP = Me.cbxClass1
Me.cbxClass2.RowSource = "SELECT distinct Class2 FROM tblEventTypes WHERE (((class1)='" & EventTP & "'));"
Me.cbxClass2 = ""
Me.cbxClass3 = ""
Me.cbxClass4 = ""


All of the comboboxes are fed by one table.

Would Changing Menu Bar Affect All Db's?

Apr 29, 2005

I want to know if I change the menu bar in an Access db (such as take out every thing, edit, view, format, tools, etc. except file and exit) would it remain that way in every other db that was opened on that pc?

I want to restrict access to every tool except file, exit on only one pc (a public pc) and I am afraid to mess around with this in the event I screw something up again like I almost did yesterday...Security on that one pc is all I need, because the program needs to be accessible to managers for reports. This pc is in an out of the way place that allows employees to "play around" in it and I am not sure enough about how to secure it any other way. So, I reasoned that if I could restrict ability to roam on that pc then that is all I would need.

Forms :: Creating Advanced Form With Comboboxes

Aug 4, 2013

So, I have a form with 4 combo boxes and 1 field for a date.

I'd like to be able to choose an option from one or more comboboxes and create a report of all of the records matching those criteria.

Will this require VBA Coding or can I do this without it? I don't know VBA

I know I will probably have to use Queries and the Like criteria but I'm not sure where to begin and how to do it.

Forms :: Making Cascade Combobox With 4 Comboboxes?

Dec 2, 2013

I want to make a form where i have 4 comboboxes in a cscade combobox thing.

I already made 4 tables with info.

- My first table contains devices:

- ApparaatID (Primairy key)
- Apparaat(with 4 entries)

- My second table contains if it is hardware or software:

- TypeID (Primairy key)
- ApparaatID
- Type (where I entered hardware and software in 2 different entries)

- The thirt table contains operating systems:

- OSID (Primairy key)
- ApparaatID
- TypeID
- OS_versie (where I entered all the OS I want to enter)

Now I made a form I called problemen with 4 comboboxes.

- cboApparaat
- cboType
- cboOS
- cboProbleem

1) What I want is that when you select device 1 and 4 that cboType can select both hardware and software but with device 2 and 3 you can only select software.

2) If you have selected software is cboType I want you to be able to select 1 of the 11 OS I have pre-entered in the table.

3) That you get specific problems with the previous made choices. For example if you select Hardware in cboType, thta you only get problems with hardware to select from and the same with software and OS.

4) I want a textbox, that will contain the solution of the problem you selected and that if there and several solutions that you get all of them at once.

Forms :: Swap Values In Comboboxes With Requery Applied?

Jan 13, 2014

I have two comboboxes on my form. When the value of the first combobox (SourceWH) changes it performs a requery on the second (DestWH) as the drop-down list needs to be filtered depending on the first value. I have this working fine but my problem arises when I need to be able to swap the values of each combobox. I have created a command button which stores the value of each combobox and then swaps them but my problem is that if I click the button the second combobox becomes blank. I guess this is something to do with the requery taking place after the value of the first combobox is updated but am unsure how to rectify this problem.

The first combobox has the following expression in the expression builder:
Action Argument
Requery DestWH

The command button has the following code:

Private Sub Swap_Btn_Click()
Dim SourceValue, DestValue As String
SourceValue = Me.SourceWH.Value
DestValue = Me.DestWH.Value
Me.DestWH.Value = SourceValue
Me.SourceWH.Value = DestValue
End Sub

Query Doesn't Affect Report... Related Problem

Nov 13, 2004

I've encountered a simple problem. =) I have a report based on a query. Of course due to the relations the query table should affect the report. But it does only with the filter parameters I put in the Query Design View, the quick ones ("filter by selection", etc.) that are in the result table view work there but doesn't affect the report. Still the query asks me to save it each time I apply any of these quick filters but make no changes at the end.

Any ideas how to make them work in the report? Or these filters are temporal and shouldn't work in that way? If so, what could I do to simplify customer's life?

Forms :: Multiple Comboboxes Using Same Source Data But Requiring Unique Input

Mar 27, 2013

I tried and failed to get this to work using a multiselect listbox..I have a list of departments in tblFunctionalArea...My main table is tblStatic..I want to be able to for each record select multiple departments affected by a record and store them in the tblStatic.After looking around i couldn't find many people successfully maanging to store listbox values in a table...

I decided to create 5 fields in tblStatic and in my form create multiple combo boxes cboFunctionalArea1, cboFunctionalArea2 etc etc which are bound to these fields.I want to be able to ensure the list for any combo box requeries and takes out any selection in the other boxes.

I have this working in a strict cascade fashion i.e. in cbo1 all dept's visible, in cbo2 it takes off whatever was selected in cbo1 etc. But if someone then jumps back and deletes the content of cbo3 then the whole thing breaks or if they amend in the wrong order it breaks

How To Make Negative And Positive Values Affect Queries Differently

Jul 10, 2014

I have created an Access 2010 Database for tracking inventory. As parts move to each location, quantities automatically subtract from the previous location. I now realized that some parts are destroyed.

The problem is the if I simply enter a negative value to indicated that a part was destroyed at one location, it appears as a positive value in the previous location. Is there a way to make negative values not affect a specific query?

Pictures In Comboboxes

Apr 19, 2006

OK, I asked this question a day or so ago and got some feed back. What I would really like is a difinative answer. Basically Yes or No. Is it possible to add small picture, (icon size) to a comobox. I realise its not good practice to have pictures embeded in the DB but on this occasion its what I need to do. Ive found software on the web that allows you to do it, which leads me to belive that it can be done, any ideas!

Cascading ComboBoxes

Sep 2, 2005

Hi

I have 4 Comboxes all Cascading from one an other and it's all working fine.
My question is about My fourth combo boxe, It as two fields that the user can see when he selects the fourth comboboxe; pretty straightforward...

I want the user to see the two fields on the form after using the combo boxe. For this I have one of the record to populate the comboboxe and the other one to populate an other text box using the dlookup function where the criteria is = to the field selected in the combo boxe, I hope you're following...

Now, some of my records for each fields are not all different from each other so when the user select a set of value the "dlookup text box" may have several option: the index is not unique if you see what I mean...

To have the unique index, I would need to add to the 4th combobox the primary key which is an autoNo that the user doesn't really need to see...

So... I am thinking of hidding the primary key column in the comboBoxe and make it the main field THEN write a code on the after Update of the Comboxe to hide the comboxe and show a text box placed over the comboxe with a dlookup function with a criteria = primary key and an other text box set on a different field with the same criteria.

I hope this is making sense, I was wondering what you were thinking of this method, it seems to involve a lot of fiddling which I don't mind but I'd rather make sure that i making it right.

Hi,

I'm pretty new to this stuff and I'm having this odd problem:

I've created a tabular form that uses a combobox for each record. The problem is that if I had, say 10 records in the form and I select a value for the combo box of one of the records, all of the combo boxes change to the same value...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Comboboxes And SQL UNION QUERY

May 12, 2005

Hello,
I have set up a form which will be used for filtering reports. I would like to be able to generate a single report and in order to do that I will have to filter three fields.

I am using three combo boxes to achieve this. The three fields I am filtering are as follows: Tenant Name, Building Name, and Unit

The Tenant Name and Building Name work perfectly but I can't get the rowsource for Unit to display any values.

Here is what I have so far:

For the tenant name:
rowsource:
SELECT Tenants.[Tenant Name] FROM Tenants ORDER BY [Tenant Name];

The above displays all the tenants that currently have leases.

Once the Tenant Name is selected the Building combobox is populated with all the buildings leased to the selected tenant (Tenants can lease more than one building). This is achieved by the following:
rowsource:
SELECT distinct Leases.LeaseID, Leases.[buildingName] FROM Leases WHERE (((Leases.Tenant)=[forms]![Lease Offer]![tenantCombo])) UNION select distinct null, null FROM Leases ORDER BY Leases.[buildingName];


This also works perfectly. Only the buildings that are occupied by the tenant are displayed.

Now for my problem. Because, not only can the tenant be holding a lease in more than one building, but they can also have more then one lease in the specific building (ie for a specific Unit number). So what I am trying to do is to have the Unit combobox display only the unit numbers that the selected tenant is leasing in the selected building.

I tried to simply modify the rowsource of building name but it is not working (the combo box is always null).
rowsource:
SELECT distinct Leases.LeaseID, Leases.[Unit] FROM Leases WHERE (((Leases.Tenant)=[forms]![Lease Offer]![tenantCombo]) AND ((Leases.buildingName)=[forms]![Lease Offer]![buildingCombo])) UNION select distinct null, null FROM Leases ORDER BY Leases.[Unit];

So this is where I need help. This is very important to my project because, it is the only way I see being able to filter my report to a single specific lease.



Also, not sure if it will be useful, but I had trouble to get just the first two comboboxes working but I eventually succeeded, so if anyone is interested on how to achieve these to update here is the code:

It is only basically three functions:

'this is the "On Current" even of the form
Private Sub Form_Current()
buildingCombo.Requery
unitCombo.Requery
End Sub

'this is "On Change" event in the the tenant combo box. the building part 'works but the unit combo doesn't. However, I'm pretty sure it is a problem 'with the actual query not the code below
Private Sub tenantCombo_Change()
buildingCombo.Value = Null
unitCombo.Value = Null
buildingCombo.Requery
unitCombo.Requery
End Sub

'this is "On Change" event in the building Combobox, however it is not doing 'anything for me now.
Private Sub buildingCombo_Change()
unitCombo.Value = Null
unitCombo.Requery
End Sub


Thanks in advance for any input you might have.

Question: Using A Form With ComboBoxes

Dec 19, 2005

Hi,

I have read a few threads about comboBoxes and what-not, but I guess I'm just having trouble relating the answers to my particular problem. I've done a semester of Access at Uni so I'm a little versed in SQL and basica database theory, and am really just after a point in the right direction as to how to accomplish this:

I have a friend who is sort of like a maintenance worker for a number of places around my city. He wants a database made up which allows him to quickly and easily make a report on the day's/week's/month's jobs he has completed.

Basically, the information in the report should be Premise (the particular building the job was done in), Location (the room in the building), Item (the 'thing' that maintenance was done on), Job Type (eg. Repair, replace, purchase etc), Date and Time.

Ok, so that's the information he wants, and here's how he wants to enter it:

He wants some kind of form which contains a drop box (or combo box) full of the various Premises, and once he highlights the Premise, a second drop box branches out (I think this is what's called a cascading drop box? Maybe not...) which allows him to highlight the Location, then a 3rd allows him to select the Item, and finally the Job Type. Once he selects these things, he wants to be able to type in the date and time, and save the information in a Latest Jobs table.

So in the end, he wants to bring up the Latest Jobs table at some point, and make a report from it. But, once he's made the report, he wants to have the Latest Jobs table append to an All Jobs table, and then clear itself ready for the next wave of Jobs.


So that's the situation, thanks for reading if you got this far :P

I'm not expecting a giant solution to the entire problem, I'm just looking for some tips and strategies on how to acheive this, and some elements of Access I should research in order to help.

Thanks a lot,
Liam
