I am newish to background coding in access 2010. I have a call log with a form which is where the information on the caller/area is entered. There's a combo box that needs to populate a textbox with 3 different things, depending on whats selected. I'm using If,Then, Else.
The first selection needs to just have the textbox say something. I have that figured out with:
If Me.CboSource = "..." Then
Me.Title = "..." (cboSource = combo, of course, and Title is the textbox.)
Next is where I'm fuzzy....The second selection needs to have the textbox populate with a dropdown list of choices from another table. No matter what I do, nothing is working. My latest attempt is:
ElseIf Me.CboSource = "External" Then
Me.Title = [tablename].[name]
I have 5 combo boxes that all cascade into the next, and then when the last combo box is updated from the drop down list, it auto-populates a text box. My issue is that I have a second text box that needs to be auto-populated from the same data table based on what has been entered into the 5 combo boxes and the first text box. I've tried creating parameters and setting a lookuprecord macro in my main table and then using a returnvars RunDataMacro on the actual form, but it says, "Invalid list or query reference 'BillingDataQuery'." I'm not sure if it's because I'm not setting that RunDataMacro on the wrong combo box, or if I've written it incorrectly...
I did this same technique (based on directions in a post from this forum) on another combo box that populates five text boxes and it works just fine, but I don't know how to get this to work based on what's populated in 5 combo boxes to auto-populate the last text box.
I need to populate a text box with data from a single cell contained in a table.Im hoping to use two combo boxes that when selected will select the cell. The combo boxes select data sources from the same table. One combo the row the second the column. One combo is already in use and populates several fields in the form. In the same form I'd like to place the second combo and beneath it have a text box that will populate with that cell detail.
I am trying to create a login form with the following three basic fields:
txtUsername cboUsertype txtPassword
I would like to be able to populate cboUsertype with User types associated to the user I type into txtUsername. I have found many useful tutorial on the web on login procedures. How ever I hardly found anything on how to populate a combobox after updating a texfield. It bis more than a week that I am trying to find a solution but until now I have just been . I would be grateful if you could provide me with either a link on the web or a vb code to make it work.
I am trying to populate the text boxes in a form with data from a table based on the selection a user has made in a combobox. I am trying to do this through a DLOOKUP in the text boxes Control Source using the following:
I have a form called frmPO based on a table called tblPO One of the fields in tblPO is linked to the field idAddress in the table tblAddresses
The following fields exist in both tblAddresses and tblPO Company Address1 Address2 City ZP State
The form contains controls for these fields on tblPO. I would like to give the user the choice to either enter a shipping address manually, or selecting a preregistered address from tblAdresses. For this I would like a combo box showing the values of idAddress. I f a user selects a preregistered shipping address, I would like the form to fill the rest of the fields based on the value of this control.
My understanding is that I should set a BeforeUpdate event to set the values of the different controls, unfortunately my command of VBA amounts to 0.
I have two tables: tblWeightTickets and tblWasteType.
I want to create a form: frmWeightTickets, where a user can enter information and the data is stored in tblWeightTickets.
There are two fields in particular that I am working on ... "WasteType" and "Rate".
On the form, I want "WasteType" to be a combobox "cboWasteType" and when I select a type of waste I want the "Rate" textbox on the same form to auto populate with the rate amount for that particular type of waste (i.e. recycling, garbage, etc).
The Rate amount is located in the table: tblWasteType under the field name "Rate". How can I do this and at the same time store the information in the tblWeightTickets? I already have the combo box loaded with the types of waste - I just need it to populate the rate text box and store it in the Weight Tickets table.
I'm doing a course on Access and I'm trying to populate a text box based on the value I select in a combo box.
Basically, in the combo box I want to select a drug (for pets, it's for a veterinary clinic...) and in the text box next to it I want the cost to pop up. The list of drugs with their costs are listed in a separate table, with the drug name in column 1 (counting from 0) and the cost in column 3. I then have a continous form so I'd like to be able to keep adding drugs and their costs and then sum up the drug costs in a text box with the total.
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
I am trying to populate multiple text boxes from combo box using one table. First text box is getting populate on base of combo box value while 2nd text box is not getting populating.
I have used the following to populate the text boxes, even row count is correct, But why is not 2nd text box is not populating ?
=[Combo2].[Column](1) =[Combo2].[Column](2)
One thing I noted when I provide the control source then selection gets stop from combo box...I am giving the valid control source is customerID but its not working.Could it be the reason ? Why selection gets stop from combo box when provide the control source ? If remove the control source then 1st text box is getting filled on basis of combo selection and 2nd text box value is not getting filled as describe above.
I am new to access and have been staring at the same Run-time error for 3 days (pathetic I know). I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not like my Dlookup. Esentially, I want and After Update event in my combo box to populate a Rich text textbox in my form. After reading DLookup is the easiest way to make this happen. Here is my code:
I have a form with two text boxes and a button. I want to be able to type a value into the first Text box click the button and the second text box to be filled with the value which is stored in the Table.
The first Textbox is called barTxt, The second Textbox is called CustTxt The button is called SearchBtn and the Table is called BookInTable. I have been trying to use the code.
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click() DoCmd.FindRecord Me.BarTxt.Value, , True, , True CustTxt.Value = "SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROM BookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer" End Sub
This however instead of displaying the Value for customer which is stored in the BookInTable. Displays The code SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROMBookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer"
I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form. img1 img2 img3 img4..When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename.. what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename' ..i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName
[Event Procedure] Private Sub imagename_Click() Me.imagename = Me.FileName End Sub
I have a form with a combo box at the top that works fine. The combo box is linked to a table that has 5 parcels of land with area size, address, type. On my form i need to populate a textbox with a formula depending on what parcel of land was selected at the combo box. Such as price x area of land selected.
I'm using a lookup table to populated a combo box on my form. I use a provided list of input strings (hundreds) in my combo box and the list is provided in all caps. How can I convert these provided words (strings) to first cap from either the quarry level or form level.
I am looking to have a combobox on a unbound form to select a product code (this i can do). However I want a textbox to auto populate with the description as well - both in the same table tblproducts - product_id, pcode, pdesc....
I am programming a database for a reorganized group in my office. For whatever reason they want their correspondence letters within the Database instead of in Word templates. This way I can standardize their headings and automatically import data from their tables onto their letters.
For this reason I chose a form. I felt using a report wouldn't give them enough editing power. Almost all of the fields on this form are unbound and set to default values. I want to use a combo box so the worker can select the "letter type" they want from the drop down and it will automatically update the body of the letter with the standard format of that type of letter.
Just one problem--these letters are wordy, so the "content" field had to be a memo. I know you can't set memo fields to combo box columns, so I'm in a jam.
how I could populate this memo field into the unbound field using some kind of selector? It doesn't necessarily have to be a combo box.
I want to populate the memo field into the unbound box, but I don't want it to establish a link or control source because I don't want the worker modifying the original record (think of it as a template).
I have a data entry form that is also used for editing exsisting records, upon the opening of a record the form populates with all the data of the record apart from what is previously selected in combo boxes, so I need to find a way to re-populate those comboboxes?
I have a continuous subform with an unbound Concat textbox and would like to populate another field for each record with the results with a main form button onClick event.
I have a form based on a query.On the form I have 4 comboboxes.The combo boxes filter eachother without a problem (based on custom select query).Now I want after the fourth combobox value is selected, I want to populate a text field with a value from a different column from the master query (after the 4 selections only 1 value should be possible)I try to say this easy.Master query contains 5 columns:
- group - type - job - insurance - charge
combo1 selects group (and filters records) combo2 selects type (from remaining records and filters again) combo3 selects job (from remaining records and filters again) combo4 selects insurance (from remaining records and filters again)
[code]....
This works great and the dropbox only shows 1 OF EACH DIFFERENT record...If I add a text box and want to see the "charge" value, that I thought I could use the ME.text-code. But in order to do this, I have to add the charge column into the query of Combo4.the dropbox for insurance gives me multiple values that are the same. Is there any way to make this work?
I have a simple login form (really just an audit tracking form) that requires the person to enter in their email address and select an office number from a combo box. Essentially, upon first entry, they will put in their email address and select an office number. When they return to the database and put in their email, it will automatically populate the combo box.
I need the text box (EmailLogin) to do 3 things: update an EmailLogin field on a table called EmailLogin (which I already have it set to do), search a field called EMail in a table called Staff, and update a combo box (cboOfficeNumb) below it if it matches an entry from EMail on the Staff table with the field OfficeNumb.
I have the cboOfficeNumb updating the OfficeNumb field on both EmailLogin and Staff tables.I am unsure of how to use a Query to perform the search and use DLookup for the update of the cboOfficeNumb.I am okay with modifying the tables to remove OfficeNumb from the EmailLogin table, as it is really just tertiary.
I have form with an unbound combo box which is populated from a query
It should populate a field in a table which is related to another - however it only works when i query by id number (primary key) and not the text value i want - is it possible to query both so it returns say 1,option 1 - then when selected it will place a 1 in the table - which is related to option 1 in another table instead of just having to select '1' which will mean nothing to a user?
I have a form with a button that pops up a datasheet with a number of records. I need the dbl click event to populate a hidden text field with the id of the item that was double clicked.
Ive found the double click even and can get the double click to close the window, but i need to populate the text field as well.
