General :: Select Item Number From Drop Down Box To Create A Report

Jun 27, 2012

I'm currently working on fixing an older 97 database that I've updated to 2010. I have just populated the Drop down box with about three fields. Ideally what I want to do is after having selected the item number from the drop down box I then hit the button that creates a report with the information about that item number.

At the moment...If the box is blank it reports all the item numbers, however if i fill the box(select an item) it returns nothing i.e the report is blank.

I've looked at the query that builds the report, there are only three fields that populate the. location, part number and description. from a tbl called MainDetails

the only other thing:
If([Forms]![frmReports]![FLoc] Is Null,[FUNCTIONAL LOCATION] Is Not Null,[FUNCTIONAL LOCATION] Like [Forms]![frmReports]![FLoc])
it has a criteria of <>False
*FLoc is the drop down box *functional location is the location field.
I believe all the above does is populate the report if Floc is empty.

What can I put to make the report generate what ever I pick in the drop down box 'FLoc' source the three fields from the 'MainDetails table'.

Forms :: Data Entry Form - Drop Down List With Free Text Option

Aug 6, 2013

I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.

I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.

General :: Country Drop-down List?

Dec 13, 2012

I have a form (Create Guest). Employees can add guests and fill in the details. There is a label Country that Employees can fill in manually.

The problem now is that this is very fault sensitive (people type: "The Netherlands", "Holland" or "Netherlands" for example while this is one country).

How do I create a country drop-down list so that employees won't have to type the country in manually. I don't think adding all the countries in the world in my table is a good solution.

Drag And Drop Listbox Item Into Text Field

Nov 7, 2006

the title explains this..

im not even sure if this is possible.. but if it is it will be just what i need.

basically the job1 form has a search feature added to it..

as users type the passenger name in the form.. a listbox below updates if a match is found..


if you can imagine the situation..

my user will be entering jobs into this form.. they will not know whether or not a passenger has used us before.. the only way they will know is if they see in the listbox the same name.. and pickup/destination/phone no. details as the job they are about to enter


i wondered if it was possible for the user to click on the customer in the listbox.. and drag and drop it into the passenger name textbox..

can this be done.. the attatchment is very simple.. one form.. job1.

if someone can explain to me how to do it.. or perhaps alter the db i have attached i will be most grateful

thanks

COMBO BOX : Specifying Item Not In List

Jun 22, 2006

Hi everyone,

I have a form with a field named TREATMENT with the following options :-

1 Cryotherapy
2 Radiotherapy
3 Chemotherapy
4 None
5 Other (specify)

If the 5th option (Other) is selected, the user is required to specify what 'Other' represents.

I have created a combo box with the first 4 options and in instances of 'Other' the user can enter specific treatment that is not in the list (1 to 4).

What I would like to do is whenever the user enters a value that is not on the list (1 to 4), I would like to insert the word OTHER in front of the value entered. In other words all values not on the list will be prefixed by 'OTHER'.
E.G. if 'Surgery' is entered, I would like the value 'OTHER : Surgery' to be stored in the Treatment field of the table.

This will help in the generation of statistics from the table.

Any suggestions??

Many thanks in advance.


Will

Is It Possible To Select The Same Item Twice Using A MultiSelect List Box

Jun 29, 2007

I would like to be able to create a recipe (saved in its own table) by pulling items from a multiselect list box (from the raw materials table) but which allows me to add the same ingredient more than once.

I work for a chemical manufacturing company and we need to track the cost of goods by recipe (final product), by linking the ingredients (where the cost of the raws are associated) to the final prodcut. Several of our products need to have chemicals added in the beginning, but then again at the end of the procedure unlike normal kitchen recipes.

(I sure hope I don't have to learn VBA . . . I'm totally new at Access!)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Updating New Item Into A Combo Box List

Aug 24, 2006

Hi,

I am using a combo box in my form. It is a growing combo box allowing new entries to be entered to create a growing list.

When new entries are made to the combo box list they are only displayed when I quit the form and then return to it. Is there any way I could allow the combo box list to grow dynamically rather than having to get the user to quit the form and then return to it?

Many Thanks
Turbojohn

Combo Box And Selection Of Item In That List.

Dec 12, 2006

Hello,

Didnt know where to start or what direction to head in. I have a combo box on one of my forms. It works fine, but would am looking for an added feature.

I am looking to get the following started:

There are 5 items in the list of my combo box. If the user selects the item called "Lost Opportunity", then how do I get an additional combo box to show up underneath it with reasons the sales opportunity was lost.

Then the reasons why would be in the additional box and they would have to select one...my work wants it so that if they lose the sale, they must provide a reason for that loss of business.

Any help in a direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Have Combo Box Show First Item On List

Oct 20, 2004

I have made a few cascading combo-boxes that dynamically change based on the data entered into the field above them.. Example:

A SKU is entered, the combo-boxes pull the information for that sku from one or more tables (using SQL Query).

Now... I am having trouble getting these fields to show the first item in the list of possible item specifics. Everything comes in fine, however, I need to form to refresh and repopulate the fields one the SKU loses focus.

Any Ideas?

Forms :: How To Select Item In A List Box Using VBA

Dec 30, 2014

I want to select an item in a listbox that has a specified value when I open the form that contains this listbox. Most I've found describes selecting records based on their index value but I want to select an item according to the actual value that's displayed in the listbox. For example, the first number below is the index value, the 2nd is the number I'm interested in and the 3rd is another column in the listbox:

0 1 12345
1 2 33256
2 4 36280

I'm using the OpenArgs property to pass the value (a long integer primary key) to the opening form but I don't know the syntax or correct terminology for ensuring the specified row is selected in the listbox. At present, using the above example, if I want to select the row with the value 2, it's selecting the 3rd row rather than the 2nd.
