General :: Control Source - Set Value Of A Combo Box To Time Field
Oct 10, 2012
i have a list box with 6 columns. in column 6 there is a time field. on selecting this list box i want to set the value of a combo box to the time field.
This has no effect. I am not sure if i have done this correctly. but the combo box has manual values in it. the reason i want to have values in it is so if the treatment is 45 minutes at default. But i want to change it to 30 minutes just for a single occasion then i thought that this would be the way to do it.
I have a combobox containing the "Field Names" of a table called "Main" Also, I have a report called xyz which only has one field.
All I want, whatever field name user selects in the combo, report displays the results of selected field name only.
example
Main Table has three fields (Fie1, Fie2 and Fie3) The combo box lists the names of all three fields (Fie1 to Fie3) Report has a textbox in the detailed section.
I want user to select the field name from combo click button to generate the report (lets say if user selected Fie2) and want textbox to list all the records of Fie2
i tried [Forms]![Fm1]! [cm1] but it is listing the field names not the values in the field...
I am relatively new to Access and i am wondering why i cannot find a specific field from a table on the control source when i am and attached it to a check box.
I have created the field on the table, and now i want to attached it to the check box on a form however when i go down the list of control sources i cannot see it.
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
I want to have a Combo Box on a form, that derives its values from a Table, but does not send selected values to another table. I want to use the value selected in the combo box in VBA code.I have set up a combo box, without a control source, and it shows the values in the drop down list but after I select one the box just goes empty. I expected that after selecting a value that value would be displayed in the combo box (and that would then become the value of the combo box that I could then use in code. I.e, CmdBox1.Value). If so, what do I need to do so that the value selected is displayed (and becomes the value of the combo box?).
I have a combo box control in my form named PayDateID, but I told that control to DISPLAY the associated field PayDate.
I now am trying to make a separate control in the same form whose control source is the DISPLAYED PayDate, but it only wants to reference the underlying PayDateID.
How can I make the control source be the displayed value in that combo box?
I have a 2 unbound text boxes.1 populates the id number from a table.I want the other to display the first name where this id occurs. I am currently putting this in the control source of the seconded textbox
My question is in Access 2010 I am currently in the property sheet at a combo list i just added to a form to be more precise with the data the user will look for. My question is I know I have to be in Control source in order for the combo box to select the data that I entered from the table. When i click the arrow the drop list is empty and then when I click the elipses (three dots) it takes me into expression builder, so i am confused on what I should do to select the field I want the combo box to focus on.
I have a set of cascading combo boxes. When a value is selected in Cat 1 ID, it narrows down the selections in Cat 2 ID which narrows down the selections in Cat 3 ID.
However, the values don't show up for columns Cat 2 ID or Cat 3 ID until I enter the row. Then I have it set to requery the fields because the underlying data isn't populated. But then when I leave the row, the values go away.
Why doesn't it show the underlying value from the table? Each column is bound to a field in a table - I would assume that the recorded value would show up. Did I miss something easy?
I am trying to create a image based off a drop down result. I have had no problem with setting up a image based off a static number. e.g 0456432 in the student id field will bring up students photo in the network share.
What I am having an issue with is the control source will look for a number instead of the name that the drop box displays. this is due to a separate table for the drop box.
what is the expression i need to make in order for the name to appear from the dropbox rather than the source id number?
I want to create a table of all fields in a form, their datatype and their controlsource.
I have done the first 2 parts easily enough using the forms.formname.controls.name property and TypeName(forms.formname.controls)
But I am unable to pragmatically read the controlSource. EG forms.formname.controls.txtname.controlsource works
but when In a for loop
I cannot use the name of the control to return the control source.
Code: Sub PopTab Set frm = forms.FrmCases for each CTl in frm.controls MyName = ctl.name MyType = TypeName(ctl) MySource = ctl.name.controlsource end if next ctl end sub
I am trying to create a form with multiple combo boxes where users can select fields from my main database and click a button to generate a report based on their selections. I think I am supposed to create a generic report with perhaps 4 fields where I would link the four combo boxes to. The issue is I cant seem to get the selection of the combo box to change the field that the report should pull from the database. I think I am supposed to use dlookup in the reports control source for each field, but I cant seem to get it to work.
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.
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
I've designed a data entry form based on a table. I use a few combo boxes, (linked via SQL statements for their row/source) to fill most of the fields in the table.
What I want to do is populate one textbox on the form with the contents of a field in one of the combo box's row/source tables. The field I want isn't shown in the combo box.
Basically, what I want is that when I choose a PART NUMBER from a combo box, I want the OEM_ID from the same table to jump into the textbox below it.
I think I may have tied myself in knots though to the point where what I want can't be done. Any ideas? I know this is probably going to take a couple of goes at explaining. :P
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 added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
I have created a table for installer invoicing, and have a field for invoice amount. I have created a user input form that allows a user to fill in certain pay rates for different aspects of installation, and would like to know how to make the invoice amount a calculated control that will auto update the field InvoiceAmt in my table. I can't figure out how to do this in the property sheet.
In a form (bounded to this table) I have, of course, 2 controls bounded to this fields:
txtD1 and txtD2
If the user change the value in txtD1 (using the Date picker) I like to change the DefaultValue for txtD1 to the new date and the DefaultValue for txtD2 to the new date + 1 day. Something like this:
Code: Private Sub txtD1_AfterUpdate() Me.txtD1.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1 Me.txtD2.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1 + 1 day End Sub
I tried whatever crossed my mind... with the same "result" : #Name?
My Regional settings:
Short date format: dd.MM.yyyy Date separator: Dot Simple: 05.12.2013
I am trying to populate a list box with an event after update in a combo box. I can get the formula to work using 2 criteria, the problem is i nee to add a third criteria. When I try to add it I get the run-time 13 error.
Here is the code I am trying to use:
Private Sub cboStatusRFQ_AfterUpdate() Me.cboSupplier.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT [Consolidated_Master_Req_Pool.RFQ Contact] " & _ "FROM Consolidated_Master_Req_Pool " & _ "WHERE consolidated_master_req_pool.Complete = FALSE AND [Consolidated_Master_Req_Pool.RFQ Supplier] = '" & Nz(cboStatusRFQ.Value) & "'" And "[cosolidated_master_req_pool.Status] = '" & "[SUPPLIER_RFQ FOLLOW-UP]" & "'" & _ "ORDER BY [Consolidated_Master_Req_Pool.RFQ Contact];" Me.cboSupplier = Null End Sub
Hi all, at the moment all of my field are control sourced. I heard there is a way whereby the field could be unbound and one button it the control source for them all. Im not entirely sure what this means or how to go about it. But i think it would solve the problem of if my users start entering data into a record and then decide to leave it, this record is automatically added to the table, with little or no data. As the data in the table is used for statistics, the table showing records which are not actually there is causing problems. Im not sure if i explained this well, but i would be grateful of any help. Thanx
I have a subform listing items for purchase. Some are services and are not taxable, some are products and are taxable.
So far, I am calculating the sales tax for each record (item paid for), based on whether the thing is taxable or not and putting that result in a text box (txtSales_Tax) on the form. Since these calculated amounts aren't stored in a field, I can't SUM them, since SUM only works on data in table fields. Can someone tell me how to get a total?
Otherwise, I'll get rid of txtSales_Tax entirely, if someone can tell me how to write a SUM function, as a Control Source, that includes an IIf, or a WHERE, so it only adds items where the yes/no field Taxable=True.
I've got an IIf with a SUM function in it but, even in the footer, that only works for the current record. I need a SUM that has a nested IIf or WHERE in order to include all the records.
