I have created a form that contains data from two tables. Each drop down on the form, for each table, contains multipl values. I want to be able to make multiple selections from each down (usually this is holding down the ctrl key and making multiple selections). However; this method does not work in Access. Is there a way to select multiple values at one time in Access similar to holding down the ctrl key?
View RepliesI am having a form that has a listbox, which brings up a lot of records, and the user may choose multiple records, but when user wants to scroll down the page to multi select, he cant do it with the ctrl keyboard button, when he press ctrl the page jumps back up, is there any workaround for that?

I would like to disable the shortcut, CTRL - which allows a user to delete a record. A user accidentally deleted a record while typing in an email address that had an underscore in the email address. While trying to type it she must have hit the CTRL key instead of the Shift key follow by the -. She noticed the delete confirmation, but not thinking, pressed enter and thus confirmed the deletion of the record.
Other than telling her to pay more attention, how can I disable the shortcut in Access 2013?I tried using the Application.OnKey "^-", "" but I continue getting the error method or data member can not be found
I have a combo box that needs to only show approved values for any current data input but also be able to show legacy values (that were approved at one time but are no longer approved).How can I only allow the user to select from current approved values but still be able to pull a legacy record and show the legacy value.
Table structure
tblRepairReason
ID (Nnumber)
Name (Text)
ApprovedValue (Yes/No)
The recordsource of the combo box:
Code:
SELECT tblRepairReason.ID, tblRepairReason.Name, tblRepairReason.ApprovedValue
FROM tblRepairReason
WHERE (((tblRepairReason.ApprovedValue)=True));
I want to insert obtain marks of the subjects. Find the attached my db. when i select combo value my requirement is to insert the all records which associate with the combo. but when i select combo value it will happen nothing.

I am currently trying to make a form which will generate a report for the users. Currently the form has 3 combo boxes where users select which fields they want displayed from the table in the report. They also have sorting options next to them (Asc or Desc). I am now trying to put in a multi select list box under each combo box to allow users to filter the report to their liking. Currently I am trying to pull distinct values from the specific field of the table and display them in the listbox for users to select.
I have tried using vba to set me.filter1.rowsource = SELECT DISTINCT me.combo1 FROM EVAP_Database, but this doesnt seem to work. I have also tried a few other codes and still no luck.
Table: EVAP Database
Combo: Combo1
Filter Listbox: Filter1
Currently I am using a multiple select list box in a form to select the engineer names for a report. I am looking for some enhancement.
Firstly when I do not select any name, there is no records displayed. I need to show all records if I do not select any name in the dropdown list.
I would like to create anther format of report to suit other purpose. Can I add the selection of these two reports apart from the selection of engineer name.
After I complete the selection on the form, I click a command button that has On Click event that consists of following code.
Private Sub Command15_Click()
'Create a string that we can apply to the filter criteria
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "" 'Initialize string variable
Dim varSelection As Variant
'Iterate the selections in the listbox

I am trying to create a form that allows the user to select a detective and multiple case statuses (such active, inactive, dna, filing, etc.). The form is intended to allow the user to determine the number of assigned cases. The form is tied to a query and the criteria that I've set up in the query is:
[Forms]![DET_CaseManagementFRM]![Combo30] which is under the investigator field.
The case status field has similar criteria [Forms]![DET_CaseManagementFRM]![List43].
My problem is that I cant figure out how to allow the user to select multiple criteria in case status field in my form. The research I've done online says you need to specify simple or extended in the Multi Select field under the other tab in the property sheet. However, when I do specify simple it doesnt return any records which I know it not true. Is there VB code that I need for this?
I have a list of client stored in a table "Clients". I would like a form to present a user with the next client in the list at the click of a button, but there will be some exceptions:
Some clients will be given priority, and should be moved to the top of the list although they may not be the next logical entry in the table. Priority clients are indicated by a field "Priority" with a Yes/No option set before work begins.
Some clients will have requested a call at a certain time of the day - This time will be stored in a field named timeToCall. The next user to click the button after the time has passed should be given that clients details.
When the end of the list is reached any clients who could not be contacted will be tried again. My table currently has a field "Attempts" to track this, but that may not be needed. Clients who have been dealt with will be removed from the "Clients" table to a "Completed" table.
Whichever record is selected will be flagged as being dealt with so that 2 people don't get the same entry. I may add a new field for this, but right now I plan to use the "attempts" field to control this
I am unsure of the best approach to the above, I'm not very well-versed in Access, but if I were doing this in Excel (as originally requested by my boss) I would do it like this:
Use a form where the "Next" button will use VBA code to first check if there are any priority clients, then check if there are any timed client's ready to call and then move to the next entry that has had 0 contact attempts. Whichever record is the next one will be displayed in the form to the user.
I need to create some new records based on main form data and a selection of records from a sub form. The main form and sub form have different sources. I wanted to show the source fields in the sub form along with a check box to allow the users to select individual records. The record source for the sub form contains >1000 records, so the user will first enter data in the main form, use filters to find the records he wants to 'assign' to the main form data, click those he selects, then click a command button in the main form to create the record(s) based on the main form data and the selected records from the sub form. The new records will be appended to a new table.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a lookup wizard to record the number of people who attend a regular event. I have a table recording the names, surnames and DOB of registered members and a number of other tables for regular events we hold. Previously people have been manually adding the names of attendees and of course there have been inconsistencies in the data. I want them to look up the names from the table of registered members. I have been using the lookup wizard, but it is only displaying the first name in a string. I need it to display id, first name, surname and DOB in a table. I also want to be able to type in the first letter and then pick from the list.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi have a multiselect listbox in my form.
The multiselectlistbox contains the names of different persons from tblUsers.
it's allready possible to write the id's of the names to another table (tblPresent).
But what I can't manage to do is re-select the values in another multiselect listbox. This multiselectlistbox is located on my editform.
I can display the values using a valuelistbox, but i need to see the non-selected items too..
hope someone can help me out

View 12 Replies View RelatedIn my database (attached), I need to be able to store multiple notes for tasks performed in various cities -- each note has a small description (more on that at the bottom of this post). For the "San Antonio, TX" task, notes "Heartbleed" and "BAT Scan" apply. From what I understand, this is a many-to-many relationship which will require the use of a junction box. My structure is like this:
tbTasks
TaskID (PK - autonumber)
Task
tbNotes
NotesID (PK - autonumber)
Notes
Details
jcttbTaskNotes
TaskID (FK from tbTasks)
NotesID ( FK from tbNotes)
My mainform (fmTasks) is based off the tbTasks table; my subform (subfmTaskNotes -- continous form) is based off the jcttbTaskNotes junction table. The Master/Child link for the subform control is TaskID. In the subform I have a combo box bound to the NotesID field in the junction table that allows me to choose a note.
My problem: I also have a "Details" text box in the subform that I want to be populated with the description of the Note selected in the combobox mentioned above. For example: if I choose the "Heartbleed" note, then I want that "Details" field to be populated with "Mitigate vulnerability associated with CVE-2014-0160". I assume it has to be somehow tied to the "Details" field of the tbNotes table, but how to implement that. How do I get the Details text box to display the details for each note?
how I can set multiple default values in a ComboBox in a form. The ComboBox is based on a table and my main table also uses the ComboBox.
Example:
Main table has a column "Brands". The ComboBox is based on another table which includes the following items (and thus the ComboBox also shows them):
- CocaCola
- Fanta
- Sprite
The form has the same ComboBox which is linked to the main table.
Now, if a user creates a new form entry, all ComboBox items should be preselected (checked). It does work with one item over the standard "Default" property.
I have created a database that has both English and French forms feeding information into the same table. I'm not concerned if the info stored in the table is stored in French or in English. It all works fine other then the drop down boxes in the forms, here I only seem to be able to either have the English or the French options visible on both the English and the French form. Is there a way to have the English options on the English form and the French options on the French form, both feeding the results into the same field in the table.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a form and subform. I need to -
1) show the number of records in the subform on the main form
2) count the number of records in the subform where a value [Public] is True
3) count the number of records in the subform where another value [Analyst] is True.
I can achieve the first two by using the following VBA on the Main form current event -
Quote:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim lngCount As Long
[Code]....
when i try to get number 3 done I get the same value as for [Public] (using lngCount for both...not surprising really!)
how i can get a count done for [Analyst] = True in the same event?
I am designing a book collection database where each book can contain multiple authors. I used three tables; tblBooks, tblAuthors, tblBookAuthorJOIN. The tblBookAuthorJOIN allows me to create a subform with drop down combo boxes in the Books form linking multiple authors to each books indexed field. The Author table contains the usual FirstName, LastName, MiddleName fields. I would to be able to display the names of each author in the forms header but I am having difficulty.
For example a book may have two authors such as:
Authors table would contain values such as
Last Name: Grisham
First Name: John
Last Name: Twain
First Name: Mark
Textbox in header would display: John Grisham; Mark Twain
The authors would be displayed in the following format in the same order as listed in the subform datasheet.
Attached is a graphic of the form.
I have a database and on the main table one of the columns is "Status". The values in that column can be either "Worked, Unworked, or Overdue".
I would like to be able to create a form so that the user can run a query and select which Status' they want to see. For example maybe they only want to see Unworked and Overdue so they can select those and run the query.
I have a search form that has 8 criteria fields, of which the user can fill (from combo boxes and txt boxes) any number of them to narrow or widen the search.This by the way works perfectly. What I want to have is a message box pop up if the user does not enter any criteria and click search.
I tried stringing multiple if isnull statements together but realised that because I have an onload function that sets all fields to "" the isnull function won't work, so have changed this to the Len function.But when I run it, it just skips straight past the len line and opens the search detail form regardless. I suspect I have the order of things wrong, as it does not throw up any errors when run.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.PCNumberIn.Value = ""
Me.SerialNumberIn.Value = ""
Me.DeviceTypeIn.Value = ""
Me.DeviceModelIn.Value = ""

I wanted to create a form where you can select multiple values from the table "years" and on a button it would open a query displaying all the records in "students" in those years selected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a multiple column combo box on my form, that is correctly populating. When I make a selection, it displays the result from the first column. Bound column seems correct, as my table is being populated correctly.
1 - Can I display the values from both columns after the selection has been made?
2 - If not, can I choose to display the second column (not the first) after the user has made a selection?
I have a form where the user will choose a contact name or names from a multivalue combobox and I want the email address field to update with the corresponding emails separated by "; ".
