i have 2 tables (clients, frequencies) where in table "clients" i have a column to store ID of "frequencies" table (id, description).
in my form "FClient" i display data stored in table "clients" and i have a combobox that should display the "frequencies" descriptions, but with a frequency selected by default...in fact the one that has its ID stored in table "clients". i'm able to display all frequencies descriptions but i don't know how to easily select and then display, as default, the frequency stored in table "client"
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?
Any way to change the default way a field is selected in a form so that it doesn't highlight all the text when you tab?I have the standard black text on a white background but when the whole field is highlighted it looks ugly and I think is quite difficult to read until you click into it.
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 a split form that was not made by wizard. On the form part I have a combobox that is unbound to the form data set. The combobox has a query row source that is based on the current row selected. I want the combobox to have an up-to-date result based on which row is selected.
If I set the combobox to requery in the form_current event then I get what I want. I don't want to put up with the little delay that is generated every time a user changes rows because of the requery, though. I only want the requery to happen when they use the drop-down menu.
I have the requery in the gotfocus event of the combobox on the form. I mostly get what I want this way, however if they select an item in the drop-down list, then choose a new record in the datasheet, then try to use the combobox again, the combobox is not refreshed (because it never lost focus?).
To get around this, I've tried to setfocus to something on the form in the on_current event, but access gives me an error: 'Access can't move focus to the control btn_Refresh'.How can I get the combo to requery only when users are about to use it?
I have a suppliers table and a products table. Two forms, Stock form with combobox to list Suppliers and a sub form with combobox that lists Products.I want to select a supplier from the Stock form and then the combobox in the subform to only list products directly sold by the Supplier.Have dabbled in SQL as follows:
SELECT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID = Products.SupplierID WHERE ((Stocksubform.SupplierID=Stock.SupplierID)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName;
I am trying to make a form where the default value of particular fields is the last value that was selected for that field. This is to make it faster to enter data.
I have never done this before and am only taking a guess, this is what I have done so far:
For the AfterUpdate property, I have entered Me![Field Name].Requery For the default value property of the same field, I have entered [Forms]![Form Name].[Field Name]
When using the form, I get #Error as the default value.
Can anyone provide details on how to get it to work?
i have a combo box on my form that uses UNION query to put "<select>" as part of the list items.right now "<select>" appears on top of the list but what i mtrying to do is when the form loads i want the combo box to have "<select>" selected and not just show blank unless someone click on the down arrow. i m sure there is a way/propoerty to do it but i cant figure it out. Also how can i make my combo box so user cant type in a combo box but select from the list.
Greetings all, am in the middle of learning vb.net and have just been thrown in the deep end of Access as a concequence lol.
There is more to it, but the core of the problem is this:
imagine a form - on this form is a combobox and a button
the combobox displays the result of a query in its drop down section, and once a record is selected it is displayed in the text area of the box - no problems so far
the button has a function by which an additional record (the currently displayed one) is moved into the afore mentioned combo box from another. again this works just fine.
what i want to do is (i think) query the result of the query on the combobox to find the record within that query which matches the currently displayed record and then set that result = combobox.selected
oh and to make matters worse i have no idea how to write a query from scratch in VB wthout use of a wizard <sigh>
I'm sure this is simple and I'm just missing something...
I have a combo with two columns and the row source set up as a query which returns two columns.
When I click the drop-down arrow for the combo box, I get exactly what I expect.
What I want to do is initialize the combo box so that the "default" selection is displayed in the "text" or "value" section of the box. I also want to be able to update this when the user makes a selection.
I have no problems when using a list box with something like: listbox.value = <Some Index in the listbox>
The value property sort of works -- It displays the data from the first column right justified in the "text" section of the combo box. I need to have both columns displayed the way they are when the combobox is dropped down.
I have a request from users to have a combo box in the form header defaulted to the selected object when they open the form or search on a new person (same object they want to be default). Currently it defaults to the first box in the detail section. (I hope this makes sense)
I believe I can do it with events, just wanted to know if there is a different way.
i have a combo box from a table with id(autonumber) and status(option 1, 2 and 3) as the col names. I want the default value to equal option 1 and when you load the form this default value be displayed in the combobox. I do not want the form to be loaded and set the value again if option 2 and 3 have been selected from a previous session. I have tried something like:
Can anyone tell me how you set a default value in a combobox? In my rowsource field I'm working with the values "Original";"Copy", and I just want the default to be "Original", so the user doesn't have to open up the combo everytime to choose one or the other... only if they need to change it to "copy". Hope that makes sense. anyone know? thanks!
I am new to access. I have the following code to lookup associated fields with a CourseNumber that is selected from a combobox. The information is then stored in a CourseEnrollment table linked to student info.
The CourseNumber and associated fields are located in a LU_CoursesOffered table. The LU_Courses Offered table has been populated by choosing associated data from combo boxes based on other LU tables.
I am getting the primary keys returned for the associated data rather than the text stored with that key.
I am still trying to get a hang of development in access 2010.
I would like to design a form with a listbox or a combobox which holds all 8 of my reports (a table has all the reports), with a Print and a Preview view buttons. In addition, the user must be able to select if they want to view the report by month, quarter and the year in question.
How do i have a specific report print or previewed based on the value selected in the listbox or combobox and the date criteria.
Where can I find the Hex or RGB value for the blue colour that Access 2010 uses by default for buttons on forms? I need to change some buttons to yellow (I know the code for that) but later change them back to the previous shade of blue, which is shown in the Properties pane "Accent 1, Lighter 40%".
By clicking in the standard colors area at the bottom of the colour chooser I can find a very similar blue #D6DFEC but it doesn't look quite right. And the "accent" colour does not give me a Hex value.Is that "usual" blue even one colour? How can I reset a button to that style having changed it?
In the default property of a subform control I want to use a control of the main form without using names of forms, but using me and parent.
I used in default property of cboVATDetail: =Me.Parent!cboVAT, but it is not accepted. My aim is to use cboVAT of parent as default in cboVATDetail of child.
That is so that each show has the month and year attached to the name, so its easier to find out when they were, from just looking at them in the list box.But, if I use the search that John (The OP of that link) then if I were to search for 2015, and try to open a show, it just opens to a blank frmEventsEdit1. Even though I currently just tell it:
I have a form with memo field as [acLetter]. Now whenever I open the form the text in the memo forms are all selected/highlighted in all the records. Is there any settings required to disable this feature or have I missed out something, so that the text should not be selected at the time of opening the form.
Move Selected Items Between Listbox1 (listEmp) and listbox2 (listAllocated). the items moved from listEmp must be removed from listEmp when moved to list allocated and vice versa.
Overview:
listEmp is my first listbox and currently has the query in it's rowsource SELECT e.* FROM qryEmp AS e; it has 7 columns but only 6 are showing (Column 1 is hidden) and it is currently bound to 1
listAllocated has only 4 columns (can be changed) i only need the first 4 columns from the first list. currently it has no row source and the row source type is set to Value it is also bound to 1
I did find some code that does not do what I need but is closer than anything that I have found so far. It seems like it is copying the Selected Items from Column 1 and pasting it in the second listbox. but it is pasting them all in a row and not in individual columns below is the code. I will post a screen shot in 2 posts time.
Code: Private Sub cmdCopyItem_Click() CopySelected Me End Sub
I want make a date control compulsory if a value is selected from a combo list on the same form.
I have Combo List, status, which can be 25%, 50%, 75%, WON or Lost. If the value is WON or LOST I want the date control, Date Project Closed, to be compulsory. I cant set it to insert today's date as it may have been closed up to a week before.
If 25%, 50% or 75% are selected then the date should not be compulsory.
