Forms :: List Box Should Be Filtered As Readable Characters Entered In Text Box

May 26, 2014

I have a table with a huge master list (some hundred thousand) of unique bar code tags, which either have 8 or 12 digits. (Valid characters are "012 345 678 9ACEFHJKLMNPRYXW"). I created a form, which is automatically looking up valid records as the string is entered position by position from left to right. This is working fine and sufficient in 99% of the cases.

Sometimes characters are not readable on the original document, so I need a tool/form, were I can enter only the readable positions of the code and the tag list is then filtered accordingly. For that, I created a separate form with 12 text boxes for each possible position of the bar code and a listbox. This list box should be filtered as the readable characters are entered in their respective positions/textbox.

Forms :: Show In A List Box A Query Filtered By 2 Or More Text Boxes

Dec 15, 2014

I've created a form with two textboxes and a listbox. What I want to do is to show in the listbox the registers filtered by the 2 textboxes. But I would like that the listbox refreshes while typping in the textboxes.It was no problem to do filtering with only one textbox. The rowsource of the listbox is a query in which I set in the criteria Like [Forms]![Form1]![Textbox1].[Text] & "*"Then I write the code for the change event of the Textbox1:

Private Sub Textbox1_Change()
Listbox1.Requery
End Sub

With this I have no problem. The problem is when using the 2 textboxes. I write the same in the criteria, Like [Forms]![Form1]![Textbox2].[Text] & "*", on another field but it doesn't work. I also write the code for the second textbox:

Private Sub Textbox2_Change()
Listbox1.Requery
End Sub

The listbox doesn't filter with both textboxes. When you type in one of them, the listbox filters from it, but when you type in the other textbox, the listbox shows the whole table filtered with the characters of the second textbox.

Forms :: Default Display Record From Filtered List Box

Apr 17, 2014

I have a form which displays records based on a selection from a list box on the form.

The default record displayed when I load the form is record 1 from the table, this is not an issue when I initially load the form but I also have options to filter the records displayed in the list box using various SQL statements, depending on the options selected.

However, when I apply one ofthese filters to the list box the default record displayed on the form still defaults to the first record in the table, which may not be included in the filtered list box.

Is there a way I can default to the first record listed in the list box rather than the first record in the table.

Forms :: Three Linked Tables - Filtering A Filtered List

Mar 21, 2013

I have three linked tables [Regulator], [RuleBook] and [Rules] (each has a corresponding form for data entry).

In the "Rules" form, when you select name of the regulator, the rule books dropdown down is filtered to show only the rulebooks for that regulator. the code I use is:

Private Sub Regulator_Change()
Me.[Rule Book].RowSource = "SELECT [ID],[Rule Book],[Short Code],[Regulator],[RegName],[Short Form],[Active] FROM" & _
" [RuleBook] WHERE Regulator = " & _
Me.Regulator
Me.[ShortReg] = Me.Regulator.Column(3)
End Sub

Basically, if I select the FSA as the regulator, The Rule Books drop down is filtered to only show the FSA Rule Books. If I pick OFT, I get the OFT list etc. This all works fine.

In the [RuleBook] table, each entry has a yes/no tick box called "Active".

The reason for this being that the regulators change their rule books quite regularly, but from an audit perspective, I can't delete or overwrite the old ones once they are no longer valid.

What I want to do, is further filter the rule book list to those where Active=True so that when I select FSA, I can only choose from their current rule books and not the ones that are no longer relevant.

Forms :: Filtered Drop Down List Returning Error Once Status Changes

Mar 8, 2013

I have a table with a list of Students. While the academic year is in progress those students are in an "Active" status. Once the year is finished those students are moved into (hopefully) a "Passed" status or some other status that is not considered "Active".

Throughout the rest of the database I have many forms that refer to the Student Listing. As an example we have a Test so we select the Student performing the test using a Drop Down List and go from there.

I have set search criteria to the Drop Down List via the Combo Box's Query to only display active students and it works fine during the Academic Year. However if I have to review a test from a previous year then the Student Drop Down List no longer displays the name but their ID# (Primary Key) because the Student's status has now changed and no longer meets the query criteria.

Is there a way to use the Filter/Search Criteria to chose from a listing of Active Students but once selected it will display the Student name regardless of their status?

Forms :: Turning Period Entered To Certain Text Field Into Comma

May 31, 2013

I'm trying to turn any period entered into a certain textfield on my form into a comma (to prevent access from turning 1.1 into 11 for example).

I have the on dirty event set to me.fieldname = replace(me.fieldname,".",",").

Everything works fine as long as I use the period key on the numpad. However, when I use the regular period key on the keyboard, it does not convert it.

Navigating A Filtered List

Jun 8, 2005

I have a form that contains a pretty large list of items and several columns and the list can be sorted by each of these columns. When a user double-clicks on a particular item, another form pops up that lets the user view/modify the item. The problem I'm having is that I still want to be able to use the navigation buttons in that second form, but right now its just saying 1 of 1 (Filtered).

The way I'm applying the sorting is by updating the Rowsource field of the list with an "Order By" statement

Any help would be appreciated

Displaying A Filtered List

Dec 5, 2006

Help !! - Can anyone help. I have had a quick look through the previous threads and can't seem to find anything that may help me. Has anyone got any ideas.

I have a table which has many columns, one of these columns is called actions. On the design of the table, the action column is a Text Datatype and on the lookup tab the row source is a typed in list of actions.

A form has been created from this one table. A drop down box has been created which looks at the action column and so drops down to give us our typed in list of actions.

Users will select the current action from the drop down list.

What I actually want to do is depending on what the current selected action is, that the drop down box only shows a subset / filtered list of actions.

I know how this is designed is not the tidiest/slickest way of doing things, But unfortunately, I have inherited this from someone else who has been running the database this way for over 6 years !!

Newly Entered Field Not Found In Control Source List

Oct 23, 2012

I have an access database where I have added a new field, but I cannot find the name of that field in the Control Source list to link it from where the data will be entered. It IS in the table, too. Why in the world is it not working.

A user enters a New Job Opening into the form for New Job Opening. Later, a user enters a New Interview in the New Interview form.... when they enter the job opening number into the job opening number field, it auto-populates the other information previously entered into the New Job Opening form into an area within the New Interview form. I have made sure the new field is in the table for the New Job Openings table.

Counting Characters In Text Box

Dec 5, 2006

Wise one, I have looked for this throughout the forum but could not fiend an answer. Could you help? I have found a little script to display the number of characters entered into a text box so at to warn the user if they are getting close to the maximum number of characters allowed.
See http://www.databasedev.co.uk/counting_characters.html
I cannot get it to work. The problem is that I can only enter 1 character. It counts it but then highlights the character I just typed. I then have to click next to it to input the next character. Any Ideas?
Cheers,
Rene

How Can I Limit Number Of Digits Entered In The Text Box? Please Help!

Dec 14, 2005

Hi guys,

I have a text box, which requires a 8-digit number entry. I have wrote the code to check that the length is 8 and if it isn't a label will turn visible next to the field telling the user entry must be 8 digits.

This works for when i enter a number less than 8-digits but when i input a number with more digits as it does not fit into the text box it turns it to a scientific format value and when the code runs it shows the length is actually 8! And therefore the entry is valid!

I.e. when i input 123456789 the text box shows 1.23E+08 which is 8 charecters!

I dont want any error messages to pop up as i handle them by code and use labels to show the error message next to the problem field and i would like to keep this consistent. Is there any way i can do this by a function or a property in the table or form?

I appreciate any help/advice

cheers

Limiting The Number Of Characters In A Text Box

Jun 13, 2007

I Have Created A Client Reference Allocation Screen Which Makes The Clients Reference From Details In A Number Of Text Boxes.

For Example:

Client Number: 0010, Forename: Andrew, Surname: Bloggs, Year: 2007,
Occupation: Driver.

Client Reference = 0010ab-dr07

I Have Copied The Text Boxes So The Information Is Automatically Displayed To Create The Client Reference, But Rather Than Shortening The Copied Text Boxes To Show Only The First Few Characters Is There A Way Of Limiting The Number Of Characters Shown In The Copied Text Boxes??

Matt
