Forms :: Using Combo Box Parameter Query
Apr 17, 2013
I encountered an error with my form when I used a combo box to get the set of data that I need. the combo box is from the look up value from a table, then I made a main form and attached a subform which is made from a query, after I put them together the form looks great not until I switch to another supplier or click refresh to get the new data.
One of my record is mixing to another supplier and when I checked the table where the data is recorded it was also change, so if I use this form and clicked on supplier1 the data is good, then switch to supplier2 and then click refresh or if I alt tabbed the data is there and its supplier is also changed.
I tried to delete it and retyped it but still the error sticks, also I tried to delete it permanently but still one of the data is mixing on a different supplier and its supplier in the main table is also changed. I'm using access 2007 and also a friend of mine tested it in access 2010 but the output is different it reflects the correct data.

I have a form with a main form and a subform, main form's function is to filter the data's inside the sub form using a combo box, right now I have one combo box which filters the data according to their control no so the output if I use say CtrlNo 1 in the combo box the data that will reflect in the subform would be the data's of CtrlNo 1 but now I'm planning to add another combo box that will filter who supplied that CtrlNo.
What I did is I used the same method from my first form that filters the CtrlNo but in this form I replaced the CtrlNo combo box to Supplier Combo box it worked great but now what it made me think is it possible to put this two filters in just one form?combo box 1 is for CtrlNo combo box 2 is for Supplier.
When I tried to create this it failed, when I filtered only the CtrlNo subform doesn't reflect any data this goes the same for the Supplier combo box but when I tried to choose a filter for both combo box say CtrlNo 1 and its Supplier this works fine but what I want is to have both filters to work even if I did not use both parameters is there any way to achieve this?

Is it possible, when using a parameter query to make the message box that appears asking for the parameters be a combo box to reduce the chances of the user misspelling something?
Thanks

tried following Microsoft example and several others but my problem comes up when I click on Group in Ticket list, I get a parameter value popup. I know I'm getting it from my Where statement that is supposed to setup the row source for Category. I tried using numbers and text but I messed up somewhere when it comes to the vba.
Me.cboCategory.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT Category.Categories FROM" & _
" Category WHERE GroupName = " & Me.cboGroup & _
" ORDER BY Category.Categories"
Me.cboCategory = Me.cboCategory.ItemData(0)

I have a report query that uses a combo box on a form to collect the parameters. I would like to be able to include an option that would be like not having any criteria at all, to show all the records. I have tried several combinations in the criteria to get it to work and haven't found a way yet.
IIf([Forms]![MyForm]![Mycbo]<0,Like"*",[Forms]![MyForm]![Mycbo])
I have tried various different versions of what you see above and none have worked. The true part and the false part both work if separated and tested. Is it possible to make this work or is there better way to do this?

I have a query where I want to use a combo box in the parameter. However, its not working.
SELECT Call_Details.Emp_ID, Call_Details.[Call Status]
FROM Call_Details
WHERE (((Call_Details.Emp_ID)=[Forms]![TTY_ID]![TTY_ID]));
I get this in the Parameter Value Dialoge
Forms!TTY_ID!TTY_ID
Should I be entering this in the criteria field at all? Do I have to build an event to make this work?

I need to apply a parameter to a query based on from combo box. I have added the ALL option to the combobox which that the user would select if they want to run the query to show all records;
E.g. Selecting ALL Countries would be the same as having no parameter or a wild card *
ALL Countries
UK
United States
Asia
Europe
I tried an iif statement like:
IIf([forms]![frmSelectReports].[location]="AllCountries",like"*",[forms]![frmSelectReports].[location])
but it didn't work...

I have a table which holds information on audits that have been carried out on staff member's actions. The 'Supervisor' field is populated via a combo box which is linked to a separate table (tblSupervisors).
I am now trying to build a query to allow me to extract all audits that have been carried out on a specific supervisor - rather than the criteria to be [Enter Supervisor Name] and allowing text entry, I thought it would be better to have form that pops up with a combo box that is used to select the supervisor (from tblSupervisors);
So far:
- Form "Supervisor_Select" is created, and has a combo box that looks up from tblSupervisors
- Macros as specified in the instructions are created (Open Dialog, Close Dialog, OK and Cancel)
- Query is done, all bar the criteria expression on the desired field.
- Module is created as described in the instructions, and is called "Supervisor_Select"
I have tried putting the following in the criteria;
[Forms]![Supervisor_Select]![cboSupervisor], however I think I am missing the bit where the query opens the "Supervisor_Select" form?? Will this only work from a button where the on click event runs the 'Open Dialog' macro and then runs the query?

I have a form called "frmManageACF", query called "qryACFFill".
On frmManageACF I have a combo box (name cmbACFFill) which has three cols. col1 = SiteID, col2 = Site code, and col 3 = SiteName. The combo box Bound column is set to 1.
In qryACFFill, results are selected where SiteID=[Forms]![frmManageACF]!cmbACFFill
The query when I hit refresh always gives me the 'Enter Parameter Value' dialogue box. I have used this method of dynamically updating a query def before so not sure why it isn't working now.
Why the Parameter dialogue box is always coming up??

it also prompts twice when i try printing or try to save the current page as a pdf and also when i switch record? i think its a problem with the subform as it always is trying to fetch data. would there be a way to make it so that the subform and the form are linked so that the parameter query prompts once and the information stays there rather then having to prompt again when printing or saving as pdf?Two more things - on my total value box i wish to be able to always show 2 decimal places
The code already in place is :
Net : =Sum([TotalValue])
VAT: =Sum([TotalValue])*0.2
Gross: =[Text8]+[Text10]
(Net is Text8 and VAT is Text10)
i have already specified that the decimal place value is 2 instead of auto but it still doesnt work - if the number is a whole number i still wish to see .00 at the end of the field.One last thing - Would their be a way to carry over the information from my delivery note to my invoice note? which would save a lot of time retyping the parameter query.

I have a few update queries that will check X number of items, based on what the user inputs.
What I want to do (if possible), is return the number of items selected based on what they type in a message box.
I have set all warnings to false for update queries.
Example:
User runs the "Check Items By Location" query via the form, then receives a message stating "[Total Selected] Items Have Been Selected from [Location]."

My database has comboboxes to autopopulate fields. These comboboxes have parametered queries for row sources so that the user doesn't have to go through a long list of IDs and to make the database more efficient in case it has to hold hundreds of records. They work the first time round but not after, when the comboboxes are clicked for a second time the query parameter is not popping up.

I have a totals query that shows results in a chart. It takes a parameter to limit results, by a combobox in a form.
Parameter in the query includes the OR "*" expression, in case someone wants to get the results unfiltered.
The Combobox in the form, has an AfteUpdate event that opens the chart (form) every time its value changes, by the [DoCmd.OpenForm "ChartForm" , acNormal] expression.
I don't know how to make it open the ChartForm when no parameter is selected in the combobox.

Hello friend,
I have made one query and added parameter. Whenever running query, asking the parameter value and press enter to run the query. Any one can tell me that instead of typing in parameter box, can i use combo box to just call the value from table.
Please help me.

I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.

I have an unbound Form with a Subform bound to a query. The query parameters are selected by the users via Unbound cboboxes. The form is working but I would like to add a feature on each cbobox that would allow to show "All" the data (ie:Show the data like if there was no parameter on that field). I can't see how to add this feature, is anybody got any idea?

Hello,
I currently have a student membership database with a main Members form. When it opens it prompts me for a parameter which determines if only active, inactive or all members will be displayed. Once the form opens I use a combo box to search through all of the records. Currently this combo box lists all of the members names regardless of the parameter. To address this I set the same parameter query for the combo box. This works fine but it means that I have to enter the same parameter twice. What I would like to do is to have the 1st parameter, when the form opens, pass to the combo box. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows of a more elegant way to accomplish this other than using a parameter query please feel free to pass this along.
Thanks,
Chris
PS: I am running Access 2003.

Hello
Once more I'm desperate:
The most "stupid" thing happens when I close a form of mine:
A message box appears asking me to give a parameter value for a combo box that is included in my form. That combo box is used to find specific records in my form. It works perfectly, but the only problem that creates is that mentioned above. Why is a parameter value needed (only when I close the form)? The funny thing is that if I load the form and not click or update the combo-box, when I close the form everything works fine. I checked the vb-code a million times and there's nothing odd in the "after update" code. I must mention that when that msg box appears, whether i give a value to that message box or not,the form closes normally, without anything affected. But it's very annoying. If we could just by-pass that msg box, or eliminate the cause that makes it appear.......
Pls help.....
Thank you in advance

Hi
I have been trying to set up this query via VBA code but, with no luck, have gone back to the query in design view. Basically the parameters of the query are determined by combo boxes in a form. This is fine if one combo box indicates one criteria but a problem arisis when multiple combo boxes are possible parameters for one field.
i.e. Field 1 = combo box one
field 2= combo box two
field three = combo box three, four or five.
i have found it difficult running this, especially in terms of a returning all if a combo is left blank. the problem with setting this up on field three would be that if i run combo box four and five to return all if left blank it overides the other command to set a specific parameter. Also, for some reason i can tdecide whether this is an AND or OR command, its actually both i.e. Field three parameter = combo box three and/or combo box4 etc...
please help this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate()
Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));"
End Sub

I have two combo boxes in a form. The 2nd combo box is influenced by the selection from the 1st combo box. The record source of the 1st combo box is a table and filters a query OK according to the parameter query I have written. The 2nd combo box correctly lists data influenced by the selection in the 1st combo box via a record source from the same query, but I am struggling to execute/run the query to filter according to the 2nd combo box. I have tried a second parameter criteria in the same query but when I do that it blanks the selection of 2nd combo box.

I want my combo box only to pull related records from the combo box above, or 'either'. e.g Select an animal: dog, cat either
Select your pets: if dog chosen, come up with dog related records, if cat chosen, come up with cat related records, if either chosen, come up with BOTH CAT AND DOG records.
I know this is done by a query, and you need to match the criteria of the two fields, however, how do I get it to pull both if the top field says either?

Hi,
I have a query that requires a Start-Date and an End-Date to be input by user for the Where clause. It is asking for both over and over. I've had it ask from 1 up to 4 times! :eek: Shouldn't it store the input and only ask for it once? I'm thinking that the way my query is arranged may be causing it to have to loop through that section more than once to find the data, but that's just my theory. Any help would be great!
Here is my code (abbreviated slightly):
SELECT DISTINCTROW C1.*, C2.*
FROM Pen AS C1 INNER JOIN Jobs AS C2 ON C1.subno=C2.[Jobs Acct]
WHERE ((C1.typ="SS" Or C1.typ="CC" Or C1.typ="PP" Or C1.typ="TT") And C1.stdate>=[Enter Start Date] And C1.stdate<=[Enter End Date] And C2.[Type]<>"EE" And C2.[Type]<>"QQ" And C1.entdate<=C2.[ChangeDate]+60);
I'm selecting rows from "Pen" and "Jobs" that have the same subno/Jobs Acct numbers (text), then there are criteria for "Pen" types, user inputs criteria for date range (Start Date and End Date) and there are criteria for "Jobs" types. Finally, there's a cross-table criteria based on a date field ("Pen" entdate should not be more than 60 days past the "Jobs" ChangeDate). Tables are in quotes in my explanation here.
So running the above, it asks for user input "Enter Start Date", then again for "Enter End Date"...but then it asks for each again...and again...and sometimes again!
Help! :confused:
P.S..I didn't notice this repeating until I made it user input (parameter query) because it was using whatever dates I hard-coded in there before.

I am using A2007 and this one combo box is returning the first record of a query no matter what record I pick. My other combo boxes are working fine.
When I pick a record the "after event" works fine by placing the data in the proper text boxes and then returns the first record in the query.
