Forms :: How To Open Subform By The Selection From Combo Box
Feb 4, 2014
I have a form that contains a form (Contain business data) and a then a sub form that hold the companies history of donations. BUT I also have another forms that hold miscellaneous data that I would like to look at also in the sub form area.
I want to select the sub form by a combo box to show the "sub forms"I want to look at by selecting a menu from a combo box.
I have worked with Access for years but some reason the combo box has always been difficult for me to completely understand.
I am struggling to pull out a report based on the combo box selection. I have NOI database and want to pull out a report for a specific customer that how many NOIs are generated by this customer..
I have a separate table of customer and another table of NCRs and the customer information comes from customer table.
I have tried the below statement but gives me an error message:
code for Macro that pulls the report in click event:
[CustomerName]=[forms]![CustName]![combocust1]
do i need to mention the report as well in some where in report ?
I have a combo box called Combo9 in form NavigationF, the combo box displays the results of FollowUpQ Query. What I would like to do is when the user selects a row from the combobox is closes NavigationF and opens ContactHistoryF and goes to the record selected in the combo box. I have made sure that the combobox contains CustomerID which is the primary key for my table.
There are 2 issues I am trying to figure out for an Access2007 form:
1) I should first state that I am working off of 3 tables: a) Marketers b) Companies that belong to those marketers c) Points of Contacts (POC) for each Company
2) In my frmMain, I have 2 combo boxes. The first loads the second and the second loads a CompanyID text field (IDc) that the subform bases for which record info to pull. How do I get the CompanyID (and subform) fields to load blank upon form open and until the 2nd combo box selection is made?
3) A company that doesn't have any POCs entered yet won't load its CompanyID even though it DOES have an ID number. Well the Id not being changed doesn't change the POC info either. I am guessing it's because there is no info to fill in the subform yet. However, I need to be able to still pull up the blank fields so I can ADD a POC.
I have created a combo box with the values I need from a table. Once I select the correct record from the drop down box I'd like to be able to open the table with just that one record being displayed. Thanks for your help.
Hi don't know if I'm trying to do something that can't be done but I'll give it a try
I have a combo box which selects a type of incident e.g. report, SIF, Phone call etc
and dependent on what is selected I would like to get access to automatically select which form to open so if report is open when the command button is clicked then the report form would be opened, when SIF is selected the SIF form would be opened etc...
How do I go about this.. I have only ever wrote code in excel, so can I have step by step if it involves code (which I guess it does) including where to put the code and even how to go about it
I have a form with three subforms, and I'm having problem with one of them. The link between subforms and forms are store number, which is stored in a combo box. Idealy, after a user pick a store from the combo box, the subform would update itself. Two out of the three subforms are based on two crosstab queries and they work perfectly fine. The last subform is a select query, and it seems like it's not rerunning itself after updating the combo box. The query is very simple, it just has store number, description, and grouped by amount. I tried with no criteria in the store field and run the masterform,seems like all it's doing is showing value for the first store in the table, and never changes afterwards, I also tried entering "forms!frmStores!cmbStore" in the criteria for the store, then the subform came out empty, it seems like it's only reading combo box's default value null. I have a line of code for the mater form frmStores as "me.[DisplaySubform].requery" for all three subforms, but it seems like it's working for the first two and not the select query. Anybody can help me with this? oh, the combo box is unbounded, because i do not want my table to be updated by selection. Please help
I have an unbound combobox on a form that is used to filter the records of a subform based on who they have been assigned to. The combo box is based off of a query to the personnel table and utilizes a UNION querry to add the option "**ALL**" with a id number "111111" as the first option in the combo box.
In other words: the combo box has a list of names to choose from and the word "ALL" at the top as the first selection. The idea is that when "**ALL**" is selected, the subform should display all records regardless of who they have been assigned to. I'm trying to accomplish this with VBA. I've started developing the code to try to impliment this, however currently when "**ALL**" is selected, I'm getting a datatype missmatch that seems to be caused by my use of recordset.
I'm trying to build a database for daily work. My work in daily basis I have to fill all condition for several items.
We have two areas, with two locations under each area, and three systems under each location and each system contain more than 500 items.
I created all tables and fill by all information:
1-Table 1: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4, Area 5, Area 6. 2-Table 2: Location 1, Location 2. 3-Table 3: System 1, System 2, System 3. 4-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-1 5-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-2
[Code] ....
Last table will be LogBook which will be as follow:
date l time l area l location l system l item l Conition1 l Conition2 l Conition3
My question regarding to the form of the above table:
How can I make a combo box for area field and when I select for example area1 will appear only the locations which under area1 in location field, and when I select location1 for example will appear only the systems under location1 in system field, and when I select system1 one for example will appear only items under system 1.Combo box list will be based on the selection in previous combo box and so on.
:confused: I have created a frame which controls two seperate combo boxes for searching based on either serial or name. What I'd like to do is have the user combo box [after update] to open a sub form with all of that specific users particular assetts. Only by that user.
HEre is the code for which I've already got. Also I've already created a query which controls the subform to find only a particlar users assets:
Private Sub Combo106_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[Serial #] = '" & Me![Combo106] & "'" Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
Private Sub Combo108_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[Users] = '" & Me![Combo108] & "'" Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
Private Sub SearchFrame_AfterUpdate() 'Make the appropriate combo visible If Me!SearchFrame.Value = 1 Then Me!Combo106.Visible = True Me!Combo108.Visible = False Else Me!Combo106.Visible = False Me!Combo108.Visible = True End If
I have a main form (FRMProspects) with a combo box (ComboCoName) that has a query as it's record source to sort the records displayed in it. It is bound by the CustID (autonumber), but displays the CompanyName.
What I want to do is open a sub form FRMNotes, based on the Company name that is selected in the ComboCoName. So for Company XY, I want to click on the Notes command button to open up all the notes for that company only (filtered). FRMNotes is based on a different table, but TBLProspects and TBLNotes are linked by CustID (one to many).
What code do I need for this? I am treading water with VBA!
The subform is based on q_filter_nycklar which in turn is based on tbl_filter_nycklar
I have two unbound combo boxes both based on tbl_filter_nycklar. I want chose starting number [ex 14001B], and end number (ex 14050B) and the subform to filter all numbers from first to last based on that selection.
I later want to copy this selection and past append into another subform on the same main form.
I have tried to set condition in q_filter_nycklar >=[Forms]![f_filter_nycklar]![F] Or <=[Forms]![f_filter_nycklar]![T] It does not work
-With condition blank the combo boxes list all available numbers and the subform continuously lists all numbers -With condition the combo boxes list all available numbers but subform is blank no matter what I chose in the combo boxes (including leaving blank)...
I am having a problem entering the 2nd column of a combo box.This is a lookup combo looking at a table called Accessories. The combo is looking up 4 columns in the table, the first column is called "Action" the 2nd column is called "Item". I click on the combo box in the form and decide on the action I want and click that row, it then enters the action I have clicked. But it is the "Item" column I want to enter on the form not the "Action" column.
This only works if I make "Item" the first column which I do not want to do. I want to keep the combo columns in the order they are but enter the 2nd column not the first. I have tried making the bound column the 2nd column but it still enters the 1st column. I am sure access must be capable of doing this but I cannot work out how. It seems you can only enter whatever is in the 1st column.
I need to have the user select what fields he wants displayed in the subform, (this i think would be best to have a selectionform open and have a list of fields that can be placed in the sub form i was thinking of using checkboxes for this), then i would like to open the mainform and the subform would display only the fields the user selected.
I'm trying to create an access database to make an inventory of my model trains.
I have a main entry form (frmTrain) where I enter all sorts of info regarding e.g. a locomotive. This info is then stored in a table (tblTrain).
In the main entry form, I've put a combo box (cmbCountries) linked to a query (qryCountries) which queries the country codes from a table (tblCountries) that has three fields:
ID (autonumber) CountryCode (short text) (containing the country codes UK, FR, DE, ...) FlagFile (short text) (containing the name of the flag picture, e.g. UK.png)
The flags are stored as *.png files in a folder Flags that is in the same folder as the database file. I have chosen this approach instead of putting the flag pictures in an OLE field in tblCountries because I'd like to avoid being stuck to *.bmp files (don't support transparency). I'd also like to avoid having to mention the complete file path in the field FlagFile
I created a form (frmCountries) to easily add countries to tblCountries as needed.
Now back to the main entry form. The selection made in cmbCountries is stored in the field 'Countries' in tblTrain. When a country is selected in cmbCountries, I'd like that the corresponding flag is displayed next to the combo box.
I found an example on the web where an image field was used to display the flag, let's say with the following code:
Private Sub cmbCountries_Change() Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2) End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load() Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2) End Sub
and where the combo box had as row source (not using qryCountries):
SELECT tblCountries.ID, tblCountries.CountryCode, [Application].[CurrentProject].[path] & "Flags" & [FlagFile] AS Expr1 FROM tblCountries ORDER BY tblCountries.[Code];
The problem with this example is that, if you select in frmTrain e.g. UK, the UK flag is then displayed across all records in frmTrain. So the image field is not the appropriate field to display the flag in frmTrain and I guess an unbound/bound (?) object frame should rather be used.
How to display correctly the flag picture for every individual record in frmTrain corresponding to the country chosen in cmbCountries.
I have created form with multiple tables field in some of these fields I have assigned the combo box selection the total combo boxes in form is four and all are unique numbers but this form is incomplete.
1.When I select or update any of four combo box then remaining combo boxes and fields on form should be updated automatically with related records.
2.I need to bring calculated fields from multiple queries on to my current form .how I can insert query fields in to form...
I am trying to auto populate the text boxes in the form based on drop down from the combo box. As you can see in the form Frm_Input, this works fine for FL, but for some reason it will not populate for Skill, Role, FLM and Location. The table it is linking to is Tbl_Names. Why as I have changed the column source?
I am a novice to Access and in order to get some training in my workplace I need to show how access can be applied to my role.
I have a table of information consisting of 3 fields:
Motor manufacturer Model Attachment (picture of particular car)
I want to have someone able to select the manufacturer and Model from Combo boxes and this will pull up the image associated with this model.
There are more than 1 model for each Motor manufacturer so you may have:
manufacturer Model Ford Fiesta Ford Mondeo VW Beetle VW Golf Fiat 500
You must not be able to select the wrong model for manufacturer, i.e. Ford 500
The images are currently saved onto the table as an attachment, This may be wrong as well, This may be a simple task to do, but hopefully I can get it running smoothly and show this is the right tool for the job.
- Form 2 to be locked but its "MaterialRequest" is enabled. - HandledBy to be unlocked if the MaterialRequest meets the "Status" of "frmMaterialRequest" which is "Approved".
I'm building a test registration form, and I want to populate 2 additional fields based on the TestID ComboBox selection. This same TestID table has a Requirement and Expected result field, that I want to display for the end user, to make sense of the test in question. Multiple fields in the ComboBox does not work since you cannot select a single testID; you can click on the relevant testID, but the table remains in view, rather than displaying only the relevant testID.
I am having issues with my combo box populating values based on the selection from another combo box.
Database : contains 2 tables: Staff_List, Level_Type and a form called frm_Test The first combobox cboLevel gets its value from the Level_Type table with the select statement SELECT [Level_Type].[ID], [Level_Type].[Level_Type] FROM level_Type;
The values to be displayed on the second combobox cbo_Name is expected to be dependent on the Level selection made from the first combobox i.e if Level 1 is selected in cboLevel then only Names of people in Level 1 will be displayed in second combobox.
The select statement I put there is SELECT Staff_List.ID, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE ((([Staff_List]![Level])=[Forms]![frm_test]![cboLevel])); This is not displaying anything in the second combobox after I tried it in the Form view, just empty.
I have a form that I populate after making selections in two combo boxes but when I load the form the text boxes are already filled in with the first record. The combo boxes load blank, which is what I want.
How do I get the rest of the form to be blank on load? It is made up of text boxes and check boxes that are all bound. Will this only work if they are unbound?
I have a project database where I keep track of the work in progress on monthly bookkeeping for our clients. I have a form where I use a ComboBox to select the client and another ComboBox to select whether a sales tax report must be filed Monthly, Quarterly or Annually. I have 17 CheckBoxes one for every month, quarter and year-end. I want the selection in the sales tax reporting ComboBox to trigger which CheckBoxes are available to check.
That is, if "Monthly" is selected in the ComboBox, then only the 12 monthly CheckBoxes are available to check (the 4 quarterly and 1 year-end CheckBoxes will be disabled). If "Quarterly" is selected in the ComboBox then only the 4 quarterly CheckBoxes are available to check. Of course, "Annual" is the third option. The disabling of CheckBoxes must be on a record by record basis. "Monthly" could be selected for one client (one record) and "Quarterly" for another client (another record).
