Forms :: Cascading 2 Comboboxes From Another
Feb 12, 2015I 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, 2005I 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.

Sep 2, 2005Hi
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.

Autofill From Cascading Comboboxes
Oct 2, 2006Hello Again
I've searched the forum but can't quite find what I'm looking for.
I have one main table (tblFOBData) with the fields Material, MarketCode, Vendor and Cost.
I also have a form that uses the Material and MarketCode fields in cascading combo boxes and this works fine,
However,
If you select a Material and MarketCode it will only return a single record and so I would like to autofill the data from the other two fields on to the form, preferebly without using a subform is this possible
Thanks again
Cascading ComboBoxes And Text Boxes
Mar 3, 2005Well first i'd like to say hi to hopefully all the good people out there who can help me.
My problem is this, i've searched through the forums and cant seem to find the right solution to what i'm looking for.
I've used the instructions to construct my cascading combo boxes in the form, now all i want is the 3rd and last of the combo boxes, once selected to automatically insert the corresponding Name in the text box below it.
The text field is bound as its need in the table.
The last combo box selects the code and the field i want to show is the data name in the text box that matches the code in the combo box.
I know its something to do with the AfterUpdate event in the combo box but dont know what code to use.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance

Forms :: Cascading Combo Box On A Shared Subform
May 30, 2013I have a subform that I use on two parent forms. The subform has a cascading combo box. The LocationID field gets filtered after CompanyID (named: cboCompanies) is updated. The problem is that I can only get the combo box to work on one form (Contacts_All). When I open the second form (Contacts_Clients), it asks for the Parameter Value.I am entering this into the criteria for the LocationID field:
[Forms]![Contacts_All]![SUBFRMContactsCompanies]![cboCompanies] Or [Forms]![Contacts_Clients]![SUBFRMContactsCompanies]![cboCompanies]
So, the "Or" is not working.Do I need to make a separate subform for each parent form or is there some way to get this working? I already feel as if I am managing way too many forms and need to simplify.
Forms :: Cascading Combo Boxes In A Subform
Jan 28, 2014i have a main form which allows me to fill in Order Information within which is a subform which allows me to fill in Order Lines.My Order Lines contain the following fields:
Extrusion
Length
Qty
etc. etc.
Elswhere in my database (tblLengths) I have set up a list of possible lengths for each Extrusion and therefore when an order is filled out I want the user to be restricted only to those lengths that are possible with the particular extrusion they have chosen. This list contains the ExtrusionID and LengthID so that I can query the available lengths for a particular Extrusion.Within my subform I have set the record source to point at the tblLengths and criteria on the ExtrusionID to point to [Extrusion]. I've also put a requery against the Extrusion field so that I can force the combobox to refresh its list of results.
My problem is that I am getting unexpected results each time I add an Order line into my form and reading up I see that what I am trying to do is a big no-no.

Nov 28, 2014I have a cascading combo box working fabulously in a form. However when I embed that form into another form, the cascading combo boxes quit working. After doing some searching around on the web I think my issue is either in the query that the dependent combo box references and/or in the "after update event procedure" but I just can't seem to figure out the exact changes to make to my database. Details:
Tables with data for combo boxes:LOOKUP TABLE - Veg Species - Species Type,
LOOKUP TABLE - Veg Species - Species Name.
Related together based on common field: SpeciesType
[code]...
When the form with the combo boxes is embedded as above, I can select the species type from the dropdown but when I try to select the species common name value I am asked to
"enter parameter value - Forms!SUBFORM2a - Enter Specific Veg Info!cmbSpecies_Type".

Display Data On Subform Based On Comboboxes In Main Form?
Jun 25, 2006Hello, I'm trying to use information based on items selected in a combobox in the main form. Once the user selects the desired info in the comboboxes on the main form, I want the subform to display the data that matches the search criteria in the main form. For instance, if I select a job number, I want everything that matches that job number to be displayed the subform (along with the corresponding job name, version, etc.). I also want to get more specific in a search where I could select a job number, job name, and job version from the comboboxes in the main form to where all the data that matches the search criteria in the main form will be displayed in the subform.
Attached is what I have so far. The form I'm trying to perform this in is the SearchByResults form and the subform is the qryk95 form. I'm trying to populate this using the K95-Template table. I performed a query (qryk95) to select only the fields I want to display in my subform. Any help would be much appreciated.

Forms :: Using ComboBoxes To Hide IDs
Jul 20, 2014I 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.

Cascading Combos Not Working When In A Subform
Oct 7, 2005Heya
Ive got my combos working fine now (thanks to all you kind folk on this forum!) but now that I have opened the main form (in which the combo box form is nested), once I have selected an item in the first one, and then click on the 2nd combo, a parameter box comes up saying "Forms!Training Record!Course_title_combo" and wants a value.
I cant see why this doesnt work when the form is nested, any ideas?

Cascading Combo Boxes In Subform - Need Help
Nov 29, 2006I have cascading combo boxes in a subform. When I click the second box, which is dependent on the first, I get the following error:
"Object does not support this property or method"
This is what I have for the On Enter Event:
Me!LeadIn.Updated Form!LeadIn.Requery
I originally had : Me.LeadIn.Requery for the On Enter, but it prompted a parameter box looking for the Phone_Card form.
I think I have to adjust the OnEnter even syntax, but I cannot figure it out.
Here are the names of the forms:
Main Form: Updated Form
SubForm: Phone_Card
Control Names:
Combo Box 1: Brand
Combo Box 2: LeadIn
In doing a net search, I believe it should look something like this:
Me!Leadin.Form!leadin.requery ??
I should also add that the subform is in a tab control: TabCtl197 if that matters. Also, when I use the combo boxes while having the Phone_Card form open, they work fine. It is only when using it as a subform that it no longer works.
Thanks for any advice or help!
Forms :: Creating Advanced Form With Comboboxes
Aug 4, 2013So, 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, 2013I 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, 2014I 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
Forms :: Auto Fill In A Text Box If Value Selected From Last Of 4 Cascade Comboboxes
Dec 9, 2013I use access 2013.
1) How to auto fill in a text box if you select a value from the last of 4 cascade comboboxes.
I have 4 comboboxes where
1 = Apparaat - cboApparaat
2 = Type - cboType
3 = OS - cboOS
4 = Probleem - cboProbleem
With all 4 comboboxes I have the vba code Me.cbo[name combobox].Requery
If I select the last combobox, cboProbeem. I want the textbox underneath to automaticly fill in the solution of that problem. I already tried to use the following vba code
Me.Oplossing = Me.cboProbleem.Column(5)
But it does not work.
2) I want to make a form for customers, where I can fill in customer info, device info and date when there contract started. Now I want to use SUM to fill in the end date of there contract.
Forms :: Multiple Comboboxes Using Same Source Data But Requiring Unique Input
Mar 27, 2013I 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
