I'm creating a simple database to document our supplier's contact information, addresses etc. However, when I create a combo box on the form and try to enter a record not on the list it gives the message "The Text You Entered Isn't an Item in the List".
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 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"
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.
In my form I have a Listbox that can be added to by the user. The list gets sorted into alphabetical order. I have one permenant item that cannot be deleted, "Default". Whwn the user opens the database I would like "Default" to always be at the top of the list even though the rest are in alphabetical order.
I saw an earlier post on similar lines talking about placing the word "DEfault" in [] and it made reference to 'Devs Site', but there was no link. Any ideas anyone? Thanks
So I have a list box on a form from which users can select which fields to display in a query... There is a default set of fields to display, which at the moment is hardcoded in the associated VBA (far from ideal). I was wandering if there is a specific way to open a list box with a number of values selected by default?
I have a drop-down list that when a person's first name is selected then it will fill in the person's middle and last name. Is it possible to use a name that is frequently used as the default so that it is always filled in on the form? More specifically, how will it work so that the other fields (middle name and last name) will also be filled in with the default first name? Or is this not possible to do?
how do i make 2nd combobox list based on 1st combobox list, mean if i choose A at 1st combobox, only A1-A5 option appear, and when i select B at 1st combobox, only B1-B8 appear to select at 2nd combobox..
I have a form with a subform in datasheet view with a combobox on it. When a user presses the Arrow to dropdown the menu it will stick on the screen after they leave the field. Any idea's?
In a report using a query with a field named: "plantno" and as criteria" :Like [Fill in the plantno] I can put in a plantno.That is working Oke! I want to do the same thing as above but then that i want to see a combobox with a few plantno,s which are put in a valuelist,so that i dont have to type in plantno,s but that i only can choose out a valuelist.
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.
Is it possible to alter the values displayed in a combo-box dropdown at run time. I tried using the following bit of code in a listbox's 'After Update' event , but it does not alter the combo-box's value list.
dim strSponProjStatus as string dim StrNonSponProjStatus as string
If Me.cboFundingSource = "Sponsorship-ADP" Then Me.cboProjectStatus.RowSource = strSponProjStatus Else Me.cboProjectStatus.RowSource = StrNonSponProjStatus End If
I have a table of records, with one field of the records a combobox populated by a select query based onanother table.
My problem ism that it doesn't seem to recognise any of the values as on the list, though deleting one character and then replacing it results in the value being accepted with no problems.
This is a database I have inherited (Cheers predecessor!), the table is populated with a few thousand records and scrolling through this table results in an error message on this field for every record and is making displaying data on this form a nightmare! Anyone know of the cause or of a quick fix?
I don't know the history of this table unfortunately.
i just to know how to list the all data at subform that same thing that i selected at combobox..
ok for example..
i want to list all car part that purchased in nov 2005 at subform... date(nov 2005) selected from combo box... then if i change other date (ex: dec 2005) it update n view new parts..
I have a form and I need a combobox on the form to produce a list of Dates for every Saturday starting from the current day displayed in a short format for the user to select. Does anyone have an idea how I could manage that?
I was going to make a table and write in each one and use that for the rowsource, but someone said that there might be a way to do that dynamically.
When you use a combobox to search values in the form - and someone searches for a value that isn't there - the form just defaults to the first entry. Is there a way of putting a message box that says "This is a new patient" (or something like that). The NotInList event doesn't work - any ideas??
I currently use this code to trigger a not in list event, ask the user if they want to add it to the respective table, and then add it.
I'd like to be able to add the text in the combo box that triggers the event to show up in the msgbox.
Private Sub cboCategory_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer) Const Message1 = "The data you have entered " & me.cbocategory.text &" is not in the current dataset." Const Message2 = "Add now?" Const Title = "Unknown entry in CATEGORY Field..." Const NL = vbCrLf & vbCrLf
I have 1 combo box contains 2 columns look-up directly from the properties(Not VBA)
Now i want to select record from the list
Example: i want to select PM-1234-1111 so i dont want to type starting letter PM to select but i want to type 234 or 123 or somewhere in the middle or end to filter that contained text in all the items is it possible?
I have a combo box which gets its values from sql server using a query which is called "get_query_reason", which works fine. Now I want to update combo box values based on a user selection, st string. Have written the code, but does not work:
Dim qDef As QueryDef Dim Query As String Dim st As String Dim rs As Recordset st = "SOV" Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_query_reason")
I have a combobox with a value list as the control source. I have a user who clicks the drop-down, but there are no options. Every other user is able to view these options, and this user has no problem with any other combobox with a value list.
My database is centered on a main form where users select pieces of information from ComboBoxes (primarily) and submit.
The first part of the form, they must choose from a list of our clients, which is a table with with roughly 5000 rows.
Later on in the form, they must choose a contact person from that client. While Client's may have several contact names (which need to be stored in a table), only one name is necessary for the form portion.
How can I make this Contact Person ComboBox only load names attached to the specific Client selected above?
As it stands right now, the Client List has its own table (along with additional information), and Contact Name is a separate Table with a look up field of Client List.
I have an Employee's Development Objective main form , which has a subform that contains a combobox that lists all 'Job Titles' and 'Job Objectives' within the company, say such as:
How do I get the subform combo box to ONLY display the Job Titles and Job Objectives specific to the Employees known Job Title? The combobox Row Source is presently:
Code: SELECT qryJobObjectiveDetails.jobObjID, qryJobObjectiveDetails.jobTitle, qryJobObjectiveDetails.objective FROM qryJobObjectiveDetails ORDER BY [jobTitle], [objective];
The main form has a jobID number specific to the Employees job title.
