I have a form with a Combobox that gets it's data from the table 'countries' and stores information in accounts.
Now I would need data entered in the cobobox to be checked against the table 'countries' if the data already exists...
if a.) yes - then all good
if b.) no - then new entry should be added to table and combobox (after confirmation)
I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate()
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable"
Else
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable"
End If
End If
End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
The company's register of projects we select the customer from a combo box that is related to the customer table. However, the way this works now, the individual may choose another customer by mistake, and if this is not corrected at the time the project will be listed with the wrong customer.
I would like to have a feature that when you select a customer receive a message if you are sure this is the right customer and if you answer yes then the customers name is being locked to this project ID.
I have a combobox on a form which is populated from a field to present a list for the user to choose from.
I have limit list set to 'N'
When the user types something in the combobox that is not in the field in the table then I want to prompt for a password. Effectively password protecting the update of the field from a combobox.
If the password is correct the text is written to the field in the table and if not then not.
Help ?
I have a continuous subform of 'static data' whose record source is a SELECT query across multiple linked tables.
Most of the fields are locked and purely there for information purposes but I need to be able to allow end users to change one particular field in each record if they need to - choosing a value from a predetermined list (i.e. one of the tables)
Usually, when I need to do this, I add a command button to the subform and use that to open a separate pop-up form specific to that record, from which the user can make whatever changes they like and then update the record. So in this scenario, a simple unbound combobox linked to that table, on that separate form, would work quite easily.
But I would prefer if users could make their changes directly from the subform without (yet another) pop-up form required each time, to make managing these records more fluid and less time-consuming.
So my thought was to use a bound textbox in the continuous subform (to take the existing value for each record), hide it and overlap it with a visible unbound combobox whose row source is the table of available options and whose default value is driven by the hidden bound textbox. And then to use the AfterUpdate event of the combobox to run the UPDATE query on the record in question.
However, while the combobox is getting the correct default value and the correct list items, I can't make a selection from it. Now I am aware there are 'issues' with using a combobox in a continuous subform but I was hoping I could circumvent them by not binding it.
I am currently using the column history to log the history of inputs into a memo field.
But i now need to swap how my database runs and now require a combo box to have the same history function, as this is for a status updates and i require users to only input certain status's.
I no that I cant use the columnhistory command with a combo box.
When selecting a status from the combo box it automatically update the memo field (which will be hidden on the form) so the column history function works.
I have a login form with a combobox which derives its list of values from an EmployeeRecord table (i.e., last name, first name, securityID, job grade and record number): only the last name and first name appear in the list. (I swiped some VB code for a multiuser login form and routine from several previous posts.)
After it performs the security validation/authorization, it then opens a navigation control form based upon the user's job grade. It runs after the click button event. To this I would like to update another table, LoginEvent, with the last name, first name and record number from the combobox selection, and also add the time and date of the click.
I have a form with a combobox and a treeview. When I select an item in the combobox, the treeview is updated with info related to the combobox value. When I browse through the nodes in the treeview, I want to see which other values will give that very same node. I could use the concatenation function* I found at Allen Browne's site, which will return a number of values in a single string.
What I'm looking for, is basically some sort of tag cloud. If the user selects node X, the tag cloud needs to show which values in the combobox will all lead to node X. The combobox values that lead to node Y shouldn't be visible at all in the tag cloud, or maybe just shown in a different color. The user should be able to click on the value, which will trigger the combobox_click event.
how many values there will be in the table behind the combobox. That's what's making this problem difficult to solve. Putting the form in design view, adding a textbox and returning to form view is not an option. How do I create a dynamic tag cloud? Is it possible to transpose a table column on a form?
I've got an access front-end database running on Access Runtime on a Terminal Server with a back-end on a data server both of which are hosted by a remote company and accessed via Terminal Services. All is well and the database is working fine but because this is a cloud system I need a way that I can easily delve into the tables on the back-end without copying it down locally from the cloud each time (I've set up an "administrator" option so that this would be available to limited users). I've got the front-end forms working as I'd like but I have quite a few tables and I'd like to avoid creating a separate form for every table. I've been able to populate a combobox on my form with the list of linked tables and I'd like that when I choose a particular table from this list that the whole table is then visible within a subform below in case I need to manually intervene with the data for any reason.

I have a form with several combo boxes.
All the source fields for those comboboxes are in one table. But of course every field has a different number of cells containing content. Now when I open a combobox in a form, the sequence of the cells are a mess, and there are lots of empty lines for many of them. (probably also because I reordered some fields in the source table)
I now have no clue if I can crop the combobox dropdown output somehow so that each combox only shows cells with content. (and preferably in a defined order)
Should I have started with creating one different table for every combobox, and not trying to put all the source fields in one table?
I have a form with two cascading comboboxes where the first selection is the alphabet and the second selection is a person's name. (the alphabet is a coding system but not assigned based on a person's name) I used one table based on example 2 of this website: fontstuff. com/access/acctut10.htm
What I want to do is add columns to the table such as organization, purpose, etc. then have them in the form as textboxes that update as soon as the second combo box is selected. Is this possible with just one table or do I need to go a different route?
So I have a combobox in a form that lists the values of a field in a table. The rowsource is this:
Code:
SELECT [Estes Training Modules].[Training Module], [Estes Training Modules].[Period] FROM [Estes Training Modules] ORDER BY [Period];
The problem is that ALL values on that field show up, including repeated values. I only need each different value to show up once. How can I do that?
For example, what I get in the combobox is: Annual, 2-Year, Annual, Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...
What I need is: Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...
I created a navigation form on which I put a form call [frmAnimal Setup].
I then placed one combo box on the Navigation frm Header. I have bound it to its source and it actually queries the tbl and show the right info. However when I select one, it will not let me.
In addition, [frmanimal setup] will not allow me to select a breed although it does query the tbl and shows the right information.
How to update data from one table to another table using form.
I have data coming from design team in Database 1 and using form i want search data and assign the job to a person and store it in the database with his name. I have to do this because database from design team is read only.
I have a combo box (cboManifestNumber) that is based on the following table:
tblManifestData
ManifestDataIDPK (autonumber PK)
ManifestNumber
RemovedDate
ManifestComments
TsdfIDFK (FK frm tblTSDF)
This table is related to:
tblTSDF
TsdfIDPK (autonumber PK)
I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.
I have created a table for installer invoicing, and have a field for invoice amount. I have created a user input form that allows a user to fill in certain pay rates for different aspects of installation, and would like to know how to make the invoice amount a calculated control that will auto update the field InvoiceAmt in my table. I can't figure out how to do this in the property sheet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box in a form that uses a query to access values from a different table, and dispaly them as choices. This works great. The first problem I encountered was if the value that was needed to be entered was not in the list, then there should be an option to add it. I found a couple good examples by using the NotInList definition to achieve this. And it works, when a new value is added, a message box comes up asking to enter the info in the database and the needed form then pops up. But when I close the form, the value is not in the combobox. Now I also researched this for a while, and found out about the function ComboBox.Requery, but I don't know where to put it to work.
Here's a more code definition of what I'm trying to do/have:
Private Sub Building_NotInList(Newdata As String, Response As Integer)
If MsgBox("""" & Newdata & """ is not in the customer list. Add it?", 33) <> 1 Then
Response = DATA_ERRCONTINUE
Exit Sub
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm "addbldgform", , , , 1 'Data Entry Mode
Response = DATA_ERRCONTINUE
End Sub
I was thinking about putting the ComboBox.Requery inside the AfterUpdate of a field in the addbldgform, so that when a new entry was added it would update by writing this in the AfterUpdate:
Form!buildingPractice!BuildingID.Requery
but that gives me an error saying that the field buildingPractice can't be found, when it is really a form with the value BuildingID (the name of the combobox that needs to be updated)
Sorry about the long definition, I just wanted to be clear, hope someone can help out.

I have a form that contains the following: Combobox, (Lists BadgeNum from tblPersonnel)
2 Textboxes (LastName, FirstName) populated via code from the combobox using info from the same tblPersonnel.
2 labels (one containing Date, another containing Time)
ToggleOnButton (Valueof 1)
ToggleOffButton (Value of 0)
Savebutton
This form is basically used as a cheap police timeclock. All Im trying to do is when a user chooses their name from the combobox, clicks ON or OFF and then save, is just write the much of the same info to a table. Specifically, BadgeNum, DateIn, TimeIn, DateOut, TimeOut.
I'm trying to update one table's field, via a Form, with certain data from another existing table in my DB when I enter key data in this first form. Example:
Table Equipment ... Some columns... Year, Make, Model, LIcPlate, etc.
Table Fuel ... Some columns... Year, Make, Model, LicPlate, Fuel Dispensed, Milage, etc.
Form for Fuel has Year, Make, Model, LicPlate, Fuel Dispensed, Milage, etc. BTW, it will take Year, Make and Model to fully qualify the search/lookup as there may be more than one occurrence of a Year and Make in the Equipment table, so Model is necessary to fully qualify. . Yes, something like VIN would be a simpler lookup but remembering a VIN is much harder than entering a Year, Make and Model.
In a Form over Table Fuel, I want to have the LicPlate field (possibly other fields as well) automatically updated from Equipment Table when I enter the Year, Make and Model in that form.
I'm assuming the solution involves creating VB code, of some such, via an Event (AfterUpdate) or some such built through the LicPlate field in the Fuel form. A mass Update via SQL is not appropriate.
I have a form called NewRequisitions that had a combobox in which the users select the Supplier (name, address, shipping details). I created a button to open a subform called NewSupplier so that they can add a new supplier to the Supplier table as needed. My code works okay for the first "NewSupplier" entry - the table and combobox are both updated and the new supplier is available for selection in the dropdown list. However, when there is a 2nd record that needs a NewSupplier added the combobox list doesn't get refreshed. The record is added into the table okay but you can only view it if the NewRequisitions (main) form is closed and then reopened.
Here is the code in my subform:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms(NewRequisitions).IsLoaded Then
'save the record if there have been any changes
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
'requery combobox on other form
Forms!NewRequisitions!ComboSupplier.ReQuery
'yield to other events - and put the new list into use
DoEvents
End If
End Sub

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
I currently have a table with two important fields (lets call them X and Y) currently I have them set to ComboBox where they reference two look up tables. I then have a form that allows for user input. Each of the two fields work with drop down lists. What I want to to is filter the Y Field based on the selection in Field X.
I wrote a query that is set to the Second combo box. WHen the user selects the drop down it runs the query and uses the value in the first to narrow the selection.
[forms]![DATA_ENTRY]![HOUSE_NUMBER]
THis works great but only for the first go through. After that it seems that I have to have code on one of the events. Basically any time the user hits the drop down I want to requery.
Does anyone have any code examples that I can reference that will show me how to repopulate that second combobox based on the selection from the first combobox? EVERY TIME I CLICK THE SECOND DROP DOWN BOX ....I would imagine that I have write the code on one of its events...
Does that make sense?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Hello, I ran into another programming road block.
I currently have a combo box that is bound to a table with 2 fields and has 4 different options/records in it, with an after update procedure, that has different calculations for each record. I want to add a Dlookup command that will display
the record that is chosen and it will need to be placed in the
after update procedure of the combo box also. Is this possible?
Code that is currently in the after update procedure of the combo box.
Dim prp As Property, ctl As Control
Set prp = Me!cboRidge.Properties("ListIndex")
Set ctl = Me.txtRidgetot
If prp = 0 Then
ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4
ElseIf prp = 1 Then
ctl = ([txtridge]*100/45)+0.4
ElseIf prp = 2 Then
ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4
Else
ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4
End If
Set ctl = Nothing
Set prp = Nothing
Code I need to add:
Me.DLookcbotile.Requery
Thanks-- any help will be very appreciated.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have three tables: Members, Promotions, Ranks.
Members has all the data specific to a member and contains just one record per member.
Promotions contains information on member promotions and contains multiple records per member.
Ranks is a table of ranks and data specific to each rank such as name, description, title, fee.
I have a Promotion Detail form used for adding new promotions. I use some VBA that auto completes other fields on the form with information from the Ranks table based on the rank selected. The user has the ability to modify any of the data.
What I would like to do is update the Member's title (in the Members table) when a new promotion is added to the Promotions table. Their title is determined by the information from their latest promotion.
I'm trying to automate as many processes as possible.
