I have a form in which you can select a year from a combo box in a subform. I want to create a query to be a subform which uses that combo box to select the year between 1/1/Year and 1/31/Year OR between 12/1/Year and 12/31/Year. The year combo box is in the sub form called YearSubForm and is called Yearcmb. I used Between #01-01-2010# And #01-31-2010# Or Between #12-01-2010# And #12-31-2010# in the query view as a criteria when I wanted 2010, but I want the year from the combo box.
Also, in the form I have a subform that is located on top of a text box. I was wondering how I can have the text box show over the subform. I tried 'send to front' but that did not work.
I have 2 combo boxes on a datasheet.
combo 2 is depedent on comboxbox 1.

I have three tables: Job (includes employer, contact) and Contact (First name, Last name, employer), and Employer (Employer name)
Form.Job is the main data entry mechanism. On this form, I enter the job details. I select the employer from a combo-box that draws from the Employer table. I would like to select the contact from a combo-box that filters contacts and shows only those that match the Job.Employer selection.
:confused: 1. How can I make a bi-directional link so that a new entry in the employer combo-box creates a new entry in the employer table? At the moment, I get around this with a "New employer" button on Form.Job that just opens up the employer table, but there seems to be an updating issue - new names don't show up in the combo-box for a while
:confused: 2. How can I get the contact combo-box to show only contacts with an employer that matches the employer selected in the employer combo-box?
Note that I got this to work once by using a sub-form, but I don't really understand how (presumably Access defaults that did what I wanted), and I don't want to have to use a sub-form.

I have 2 combo boxes, one Categories and Products. However I have follows a tutorial and when I select the Categories, the products do not show even though the tutorial says it does. I have attached a copy of the DB.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am designing a form based on specific criteria from a table. I have one table "country/region" showing: Country, Region, and then primary numeric ID. I have another table called "contacts" with more info. What I am looking to do is create two combo boxes on the form, one for country and the other for region which will pull from the "country/region" table and feed into the "contacts" table". When the user writes in the specific country, the corresponding region in the combo box next to it should update automatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI thought that my previous request on how to create a dependent combobox based on selections from two previous comboboxes, but the example provided only worked if the fields were all in the same table. Here is an explanation of my problem...I have 3 tables:
-FoodType
-fruit
-vegetable
Color
green
red
yellow
FoodName
apple
banana
cabbage
green beans
kiwi
lettuce
lime
raspberries

I have 3 comboboxes on a form: cboFoodType, cboColor, cboFoodName.I would like to filter the value lists in cboFoodName based on the selections from cboFoodType and cboColor.For example, if I select "fruit" from cboFoodType and "red" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFood Name to consist of "apple;raspberries;strawberries".Likewise, if I select "vegetable" from cboFoodType and "green" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFoodName to consist of "cabbage;green beans;lettuce;spinach".
I have dependent combo boxes which is working fine what i want is to select the value from the list and the text box should be filled in my case it is attachment field i want to fill up the value based on combo boxes selection.I have attached the database also.

The database I'm working on stores product records. To support the user narrow down which product they want to use, the navigation form has a listbox that looks to several combox values to filter the records it displays. As the user selects values for additional comboxes, the list of products from the listbox is refined. What I would like to do is set the comboxes up so that they also have to check the listbox to determine which records they should display.
For example:
Comboxes: Customer, Species
Starting out the listbox shows all products. The user wants to find a particular product that is sold to "Harly Quinn's Crab Imporium". They select "Harly Quinn's Crab Imporium" from the customer combobox. The listbox updates to show only products sold to Harly Quinn. The database currently has this functionality. What I want to add comes next:
The user determines that there are still too many records being displayed in the listbox, so he/she attempts to refine the search further by selecting a species from the species combobox. Currently all species from the species table are selectable from the species combobx, meaning that if the user selects a species that isn't sold to Harly Quinn, that the listbox will show no records. What I would like the combobox to do is refer first to the listbox and determine which species are still viable options based on the records available from the listbox.
I am very new to Access and I am not familiar with SQL. How I can create fields that are similar to each other?
Let's say I have 3 fields in my table: Name, State, Area Code.
I want it so that each time I select "Name" the appropriate State and Area Code populate. Anyway I can do this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedRight now, I have an entire job with multiple piece parts. All of these different parts go through different processes (They are shown in the table "Piece Parts New"). I've created a query that the user puts in the EC (estimated completion) days per process of a given piece part, it automatically outputs a ESD (Estimated Start Date) and ECD (Estimated Completion Date) on all processes based on date the part was started.
So, now I want it to output a report that each piece part will:
1. Follow Sequence by Step #
2. Do longest part first (make number one priority at a given machine).
3. Only 1 part per machine at a time (The part that takes the longest to do will always be first, followed by the next longest, etc.)
Right now, the report labeled "Step Groupings" somewhat does this, however another part will have ESD a day later even though the part before still hasn't finished according to ECD.
I am building a form to collect information from my employees. In one combo box they select what type of item "item A" out of 13 choices. I want the next combo box to only display only the "item A" choices (or B, C, D, etc.) when item A is selected in the first box. I have one table that lists all of the 13 items and then 13 individual tables for the different choices for each of the 13 items. I cannot figure out how to make the control value for the second combo box dependent on the first combo box. Maybe there is an easier way to do it?
View 4 Replies View Related I've attached my database as I have it now. I am trying to create what amounts to an activity log.
I have created my main Subject and underlying related Issues tables, and a table for my daily activity notes. I have created my main form and subforms that should be sufficient (hopefully) for my purpose. Where I am getting hung up now is making the Subject and Issues fields combo boxes and filling them.
For the top-level Subject, I want to be able to type a new one in at any time, but also have the option to choose from a dropdown on the control as well. Then, if I do type one in, the next time I try to add a new record, it would appear in the dropdown as well. I think I have to query the underlying field to drive the dropdown list, but I cannot remember how to do that.
For the second-level Issue, there would also be a dropdown in the same way as the Subject control, and I want to be able to choose from the dropdown or add a new one in the same way... but I need to make sure that the ones that appear in the dropdown are related to the top-level Subject shown in the main part of the form. Of course, I don't want to be able to add an Issue unless it is related to a parent Subject. On these things, I am totally lost.
Finally, I built my notes to show in the subform as a continuous form, which I have used only once before. I'd like it so that the notes show newest at the top. And, I'm thinking about putting a "lock" checkbox on the note record so that I don't overwrite previous notes unless I consciously go back to edit something. I'm not sure how I can make an individual note dependent on an individual checkbox in the continuous form.
I am new to MS Access. So I am making a database for an automobile warehouse. When a new car arrives at the warehouse, it is allocated a specific parking slot (using a combo box available on the 'New Arriving Car' form).
However, once a specific slot has been allotted, the end-user should not be able to allot the same parking slot to other arriving cars, until the original car has left the warehouse so that the parking slot becomes available once again. Currently, the parking slot combo box shows all parking slots whereas it is supposed to display only unoccupied parking slots. How can I enforce this? (Note that there is a separate form called 'Exiting Car', which is filled when a car is leaving the warehouse).
Fyi, each car is referred to by a unique 17 digit code - so this is the primary key. Also, there are 120 parking slots available in all, with the slot identifiers ranging from A1, A2...A12 to J1, J2..J12 (10 x 12 = 120).
I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI must create a database for the company that I work for that covers the maintenance history of our stone crusher plant. In this database I have two dropdown lists. The first one is for the equipment and the second one is for the different types of parts that has to be replaced or fixed.
Not all of the equipment uses all of the listed parts, but some parts are used on more than one type of equipment.
I have already created a database that lists all the equipment and another one that lists all the parts.
What I want to do now is create a Yes/No box for each type of equipment so I can mark which parts is used by which equipment.
Then you must be able to select the type of equipment from a dropdown list and then select from a dropdown list that only has the parts that is used by the piece of equipment.

I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
What is the best way to do this?
I have been working on a database for over a month now, and my boss just threw a monkey wrench in my work. I believed that the Metal Market Prices would be entered once a week in the current DB. My boss informs me today that he wants an employee to go in every morning and enter that days Price for Each Metal with respect to many different markets.
There is a total of 12 metals, and 5 markets. I need the data to be stored first by date, then by either market or metal, and lastly by which ever isn't used second (Either: date-market-metal, or date-metal-market). I think the Latter of the two methods makes the most sense. Is it possible for my current DB to lookup values from the Metals Database based on date-metal-market?

Is there a way to make a field on a form dependent on what the user selects from 2 other cbo? By that I mean I would want the user if they selected in cbo1 Easter and they select cbo2 Regional President in the form field I would want it to auto return the name John Smith because in my table he is the Eastern Regional President. I am not sure if I can do this by query or is there an easy way to do this?

I have a table with 3 yes/no fields. I need them to be dependent on each other meaning if one is yes the others can not be yes. How can I set this up?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a form that has two listboxes. The first list box is named "lstType", which pulls in information from a table tblType. The second or dependent listbox, named lstSName, is then filtered and only shows the SName that match the type. This is pulled in from a table "tblSName." Using the form filtering on the query "[Forms]![frmqryTask]![lstType]"
This portion actually works perfectly and filter my form as I wanted it too (at least originally). However, I realized a few days ago that the when clients or the SName does not have any active projects my company will be working on for them, we don't want don't need to see their name on the forms listbox called "lstSNameand", so we want change a status from "Active" to "Inactive". I've already added this status in as well.
What I'd like to have happen is that when using the dependent listbox, the lstSName will only show those with the "Active" status. I've tried adding the status = active onto the query, however I get a error message saying the query is too complex to run, which I'm guessing has something to do with the "[Forms]![frmqryTask]![lstType]" on the query.
