General :: Combo Box Does Not Expand And Search As User Type In
Jun 30, 2015
MS ACCESS 2010
AutoExpand Property Set to Yes
I have a bound combo box that has a query as a row source, The query has 3 fields called from tblMasterItems, The ItemID , ItemDesc and ItemSupplier(related to the PK of tblSupplier).
Column Count = 3
Column Width = 0";1";0"
If I do not put a criteria under ItemSupplier, the combo box behaves just fine. The problem happens when I set the criteria under ItemSupplier, the criteria being the supplier ID, the combo box no longer expands and searches as you type, but the items in the combo box have been filtered and are there.
Summary:
When the row source qry ItemSupplier Field does not have a criteria, cbo works just fine.
When the row source qry ItemSupplier has a criteria, cbo no longer expands and searches as you type, but has the filtered data showing if you hit the expand button (that arrow pointing down in the cbo)

Any ideas why combo boxes that all have their "auto expand" option set to YES are not auto expanding as I type-in text? They were working last week and I have no idea why they're not working now. Strangely, if I type in any of the entries present in the combobox list (text such as "St. Louis City") exactly as it appears in the combobox list, and then press enter, I get an error message telling me the value is invalid. Then, if I use the drop-down list to find and select "St. Louis City", it allows me to enter this value.

Some background: I am making a form at work for a coworker with cascading combo boxes where she can select a Customer, then Platform Description, then Period, then Year. I used VBA code for these and they all seem to be working, except the Year.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
On Error Resume Next
CustomerCB.SetFocus
[Code].....
I am pulling a table from Excel into Access (SD0039DA_T2), then I have used a delete and append query to populate a 2nd table (SD0039DA_T). I did this 2nd table because the first table was slowing down all of Access because it's such a large file directly linked to Excel.
The only real difference between the two tables is I added another column to SD0039DA_T called BillingYear. This is the Year in the cascading comboboxes/listboxes I am having trouble with. In the append query, I used ...
Code:
BillingYear: Right([SD0039DA_T2]![Billing Date],4)
...appended to BillingYear. I want just the year (YYYY), not the whole billing date from the original table (MM/DD/YYYY).
So I'm thinking the problem is with the YearCB section of the VBA code or something to do with my tables?

I have a line of code in an old program:
Dim CN as ADODB Connection
This is giving me the error 'User defined type not defined'. I know I have to set something in a list somewhere but have forgotten how to do that. Where to go, and what to set?

I have a AUCTION form, it has a combo box and the label for this combo box is called seller. This combo box is a look up to the USER table which has the following fields:
uid, uname, city, state
The combo box is pulling and displaying a drop down list of uname from the USER table, with this SQL state in the "row source".
Code:
SELECT user.uname FROM [user] ORDER BY user.uname;
In the control source of this combo box I have seller, and the form's record source is AUCTION, tagging on the AUCTION table.
The problem is the form is putting the uname into the AUCTION table's seller field, but I want it to input the uid field, however that it should still show the uname list when the user click on the combo box to make a selection.

I have a database with over 100k records and I want to use a combo box to search for records by typing in the name. I found code to do this at: [URL] .....
This is working, however i have many fields on the form that I want to populate from the table after the search. Right now only the 3 fields from my rowsource combo box populate.
In my select statement do I need to SELECT * (all) and then populate the fields that way, or is there a way to populate from the table based on the ID of the record that is found?

[URL] ....I am trying to dynamically search multiple fields from a combo box on a form that includes a subform. I am using code from the above referenced link within this forum.
It works without the "setFocus" for the Listbox except it jumps to a record after the very first character is entered instead of narrowing down as characters are typed. If I leave in the "setFocus" I get run-time error 2110.

I need to create a user interface that will allow a boolean type search of a field. This would mean item1 AND item2 AND NOT item 3, item1 or item2, item 1 NOT item2, etc.
I've set up a combo box setup with the following script, but I can't figure out how to adjust it to allow the multiples.
Please advise if I should adjust this or try a differenmt interface format for my users.

I would like to declare a User Type in order to return to values from a function.
The declaration is made in a module as follows
Public Type Document
DocumentID As Long
IncidentID As Long
End Type
The variable Document itself will accept a value
Document=1
But when I try and read the value of an element in the Immediate Window,
? Document().DocumentID
I get Subscript Out of Range

Is there a way to retrieve the value of a user-defined type in a query?
Here's the type:
Code:
Public Type ClassRank
Rank As Integer
ClassCount As Integer
End Type
I have a function with the following excerpt:
Code:
Function GetRank(strDOD) as ClassRank
...
GetRank.Rank = intRank
GetRank.ClassCount = intCount
...
End Function
In my query I expected to be able to put the following:
Code:
GetRank(strDOD).Rank & " " & GetRank(strDOD).ClassCount
However, Access didn't like the period in .Rank or .ClassCount.
Should I just write two different function to get 'rank' and 'classcount'?

I am trying to get a button on my form to open two reports, and also go to a website. Once at the website I want it to type in a search bar based off of the criteria of the two reports. I currently have it able to open both reports correctly, and I can get the website to open, but I am not able to find a way to get access to type anything once on the website.
I am opening the website using:

All,
Bottom line I'm in bit of a pickle, work has moved forward the migration of Office97/NT4 to Office2003/XP by 2 months (clever lot) and was hoping not have to cram for this question until at least 3-5 weeks.
I'm looking for pointers/suggestions because I now have to test in Access2003 Runtime on MONDAY!!!!
What it is, is:
I have a query which is a list of items that need to be worked out of 65,000.
Of that 65,000, 20,000 end up in the query (Actually do need looking at after an Automated process)
(it's adapting the query/process I think I need)
Query:
EntID - UniqueID for a household
Applicant1 - Number lookup value for Applicant 1
Applicant2 - Number lookup value for Applicant 2
Qualifies - 1 = Yes, 2 = No, Null = Not worked.
That's basic building block of the Query which is Drives the main Form.
What I would like is a scenario similar to this:
Person A opens record 1
Person B opens record 2
Person C opens record 3
Person C finishes record 3
Person B finishes record 2
Person C opens record 4
Person B opens record 5 (he/she took a little break)
Now that's the way I would like it to work, but there will be other factors and this is where I'm all ears for anyone who is used to this type of system.
The problem I can't figure out is that the Main Form has several subforms, but none of the data is to be edited, it is there for visual purposes only.
The users will be creating records via the Main Form through code, but not directly into any tables/queries with which I can use conventional record locking, that I can see.
My thoughts are that Person A calls up a record based on Min EntID and somehow locks it so the Person B looks for Min EntID Where not locked.
--------------------------------------------------
Question Time:
Please, please can someone point me in the direction of how to do it and more importantly the correct order of events?
I have tried doing the Min EntID and locking the record, but while Person A is running the Min Query, Person B is running it also so they end up with the same record as B has the record on screen while A is locking it.
Also,
In the real world Person B might open record 2 and think, nah I can't be bothered.
I would like a proffessional opnion on whether C opens record 2 or should B be made to deal with it.
I think not given the huge time constrants landed square on my lap, I would get there with smaller questions, but I've spent the last 10hrs writing a Function, to get it ready for the testing lab, where the owner has changed the requirements 7 times and my head isn't working.
All or some help given will be GREATLY received.
Any further information needed, just ask.
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
Ian Mac

I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.

I have a combo box, which auto fills a field box "on change" for some reason though, even after following the instructions I see on other web-sights I cannot type into the box.
I have:
limit to list: no
auto expand: no
and no other code on it apart from the auto-fill code what I want to be able to do, is type into the box, and if it is not a proper value, I can click the drop down box and select values that start with the value I typed.

hello can anyone please help me with this form?
I have a form in which has one drop down combo box and one data entry text
box.
The combo drop down box comes from a query of all active contracts from my
contracts table.
the second box has a unit ID number which the user enters.
All information entered in this data entry form goes to a Unit table.
My contract table has three columns: Name of contract and Type (only three
types): A, B, C. (contract table) and then a column that says active or
inactive.
i.e
Name Type Status
113 A active
114 B inactive
115 A active
116 A inactive
120 C active
121 C inactive
This is where I am stuck…
When a user puts an unit id number and then selects from the listbox one of
the active contracts for the first time is ok. For example: the user entered
unit number 123 and selected contract: 113 which belongs to type A.
What I need is that next time the user put the same unit number in the text
box then the contracts he could choose for that selected unit number could
only any of type B or type C. he/she can no longer choose other type A.
so basically for every unit id number i could have only one contract type A, only one contract B and only one contract C. :confused:
Can someone give me some light in how to start this?

How can i do the following? In a combo box, how can i type in say PEPPER and see every formulaName that contains Pepper in their description. I would get back Red Pepper, Orange Pepper, Black Pepper, Pepper, to choose from. Notice that Pepper can be anywhere inside the name.
I would like the choices change as i type. In other words, if i type BL, i would start to see choices like Black Pepper, Blue Pepper, Roger Blueboy, Green Bloak or any formulaname containing BL.
I presently have the following combo box. if i start typing BL and hit the down arrow, i will see formulas starting with BL. unfortunately, furtherdown, i also see all the other thousands of formulas in the base; meaning I see things that start with C, D, E etc.
I was hoping that i would see every formula containing the letters that i type, As I Type. so if i went further and typed BLAC, the formulas that almost made the cut, disappear from view, leaving me with things having BLAC in name, anywhere in the formulaName. Is this possible? I kind of want to DRILL down. when i finish typing black, i would have all formulaNames that have the word Black somewhere.
here is the combo box after update code:
----------------------------------------------
Private Sub CboFormulaNameFilter_AfterUpdate()
If Me![CboFormulaNameFilter] = "<All>" Then
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
Else
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "[FormulaID] = Forms![frmFormulaMain]![cboFormulaNameFilter]"
End If
End Sub
------------------------------------------------
============================
Here is the row source sql code:
SELECT DISTINCT tblFormulaMain.FormulaName, tblFormulaMain.FormulaID, tblFormulaMain.Description, tblFormulaMain.FormulaStatus
FROM tblFormulaMain
GROUP BY tblFormulaMain.FormulaName, tblFormulaMain.FormulaID, tblFormulaMain.Description, tblFormulaMain.FormulaStatus
ORDER BY tblFormulaMain.FormulaName;
===============================
FormulaID is a text field.
thanks

i never needed help this much.
i worked on an access application for 1/2 year. Everything went fine. But now we wanted to start working with it, some older acces versions are acting weird.

I have records in a table that contain many fields 3 of which are text fields that I use for storing a year eg 2002,2003 etc. A record may only have a value in the 1st text field whereas other recods may have values in 2 or all 3 text fields. The problem I have is I want to select records that have the same year in any one of the text fields. For example:
Record 1 may have text fields containing: 2002, 2003, 2004
Record 2 may have text fields containing: 2003, 2004, 2005
Record 3 may have text fields containing: 2002
Record 4 may have text fields containing: 2002, 2004, 2006
Record 5 may have text fields containing: 2006, 2007
In the query I want the user to enter one year value using the prompt [Please enter required year] eg 2004 and for the query to then select records that contain that year value in any of the text fields. In this example records 1, 2 and 4 would be selected. If the user entered 2007 only record 5 would be selected. How do I do this?
Grateful for any help!
