General :: Having Field Automatically Populate Based On Selection?
Aug 5, 2013
I have a training log that has 4 tables, the employee table, the training course table, and the department table.
These tables all contain the names of employees, training courses, and department in one field and their respective ID codes in the other.
The 4th table is the actual log where the manager logs in who took the training courses. When the manager goes to select the employee name, course name, and department name is there a way not using VBA for the respective ID number to appear in the 4th table (they use the same field names and are related)

I need to create a New Form control for this situation:
If I enter a date into a field and the choice for another field is equal to a certain value. How can I get the date I entered to be automatically populated into another date field.
For example:
If I enter 11/10/2005 in a date field and I choose either "BN", "BA", or "BT" in a text field, I need that date of 11/10/2005 to be automatically populated in another date field on the same form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am creating a Database to track product details and inventory for items we purchase.
I have several Tables and several Forms already working properly, except for one thing.
I have a Form called "Lights", and it contains a ComboBox called Light_Name and 6 TextBoxes: Manufacturer, Model_Number, Cost, Weight, Light_Type, Notes. It also has an Attachment Field linked to the same table.
I am using the Code:
Me.TEXTBOX = Me.Light_Name.Column(#)
to populate the Textboxes with the relevant info from the Light Table.
This works for every Textbox I have.
However I cannot get the Attachment Box to change. And when I try to add code to it I get a debug error. The Attachments are PDFs and I need them to show based on the ComboBox Selection.
I have tried the same code as above, and as I said, it gives me an error.

I have a Customers table and an Orders table. My Customers table is a bit different than the norm because I couldn't figure out any other way to do this.
My client's customers are either businesses (companies) with a contact person, or individual customers. So, in the Customers table, I have the following fields (there are others but do not apply to my problem):
Customer ID
Company
Contact
Customer
So, if it is a company the data entry person would enter the company name and the full name (EX: Doe, John) in the contact field, but if it is an individual customer, then they would leave Company and Contact blank and enter just the Customer name (Ex: Doe, Jane).
So, in the Orders table, I have combo boxes for look ups for the fields Company and Customer.
That works okay, but I would really like for the Customer ID to post into a text box once the Company or Customer has been selected. In other words, the input person would enter the name, then it would show that Customer's ID #.

I'm creating a form that when the user selects the following categories in the same combo box (Date Received, Date Reviewed, Date kitted, In Work, Complete) it auto populates dates in the respective fields. As I mentioned, it's only one combo box. The dates will be spread out, so the user will change the combo box selection based on when these events occur. I already have a field for each category both on the table and form. Also, I do have multiple tables for other parts of data, but these categories all fall into the same table.

I have a Table (tblFPAData) that is being populated with entries from a form I created. There are several fields but if I can get an answer for one relationship then I can repeat it for the others.
In tblFPAData there are the fields MaterialNo and Description.
I am creating another table called tblSchedule and using a form to enter the information. I need the user to select the MaterialNo from a combo (cmbMaterialNo) and the then table auto populates the Description from tblFPAData.

On paper I have designed a faculty contact database and have now come to the point where I am designing the form. In the contact information table are Cell, Home, Office fields as well as Personal, Work, Alternate email fields which will contain the corresponding information. On the form after the information is entered the person needs to select an option from each of four combo boxes to indicate which is the preferred number, number for student, preferred email and email for students. The question is how to populate the text fields in a report based on the selection of the combo boxes with the information stored in the corresponding field (cell, home, office phone numbers and personal, work and alternate email). I am assuming it is done in the query but I don't know how or can it be done in vba?

I have two tables, one called 'Company' and one called 'Person'. Both tables have several fields, but they both have the same primary key, i.e. 'Naam'.
When I type in a name in the 'Person' table, I'd like the 'Company' table to automatically display the name too. So for example if I type in 'John Doe' in the person table, I want to be able to switch to the 'Company' table and have the same name displayed there, automatically.

I have three tables with the following columns:
MoldReq
Mold_NoPart_NamePart_NoMaterialDateWork_Ord(Pri Key)
MoldLog
Log_IDMold_No(Pri Key)Part_NameLog_DateTime_InTime_OutHours
Molds
Mold_No(Pri Key)Part_NamePart_No
I am trying to build a form in the MoldReq section so when the user selects the mold number(combo box) it will auto populate the Part_Name and Part_No fields by pulling the data from the Molds table.
I have tried following this video where I create a change event:
Code:
Private Sub cboCombo31_Change()
Me.txtPart_Name.Value = Me.cboMold_No.Column(3)
Me.txtPart_No.Value = Me.cboMold_No.Column(4)
End Sub

I have two tables: tblWeightTickets and tblWasteType.
I want to create a form: frmWeightTickets, where a user can enter information and the data is stored in tblWeightTickets.
There are two fields in particular that I am working on ... "WasteType" and "Rate".
On the form, I want "WasteType" to be a combobox "cboWasteType" and when I select a type of waste I want the "Rate" textbox on the same form to auto populate with the rate amount for that particular type of waste (i.e. recycling, garbage, etc).
The Rate amount is located in the table: tblWasteType under the field name "Rate". How can I do this and at the same time store the information in the tblWeightTickets? I already have the combo box loaded with the types of waste - I just need it to populate the rate text box and store it in the Weight Tickets table.

I have an unbound combobox on a form that is used to filter the records of a subform based on who they have been assigned to. The combo box is based off of a query to the personnel table and utilizes a UNION querry to add the option "**ALL**" with a id number "111111" as the first option in the combo box.
In other words: the combo box has a list of names to choose from and the word "ALL" at the top as the first selection. The idea is that when "**ALL**" is selected, the subform should display all records regardless of who they have been assigned to. I'm trying to accomplish this with VBA. I've started developing the code to try to impliment this, however currently when "**ALL**" is selected, I'm getting a datatype missmatch that seems to be caused by my use of recordset.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cboTaskListName_AfterUpdate()
'On Error GoTo cboTaskListName_AfterUpdate_Err
Me.Refresh
[code]...
Also once the queried records are saved into the record set, how can I communicate that to the subform so that it displays them?

I've got a Parent form (frmProspectDetails) with a subform linked (fsubProspectSkill).
This form is for users to enter general information on a prospect (names, position, height, weight, etc) on the parent form and skill levels on the subform.
Currently the subform is set so the user has to manually select the specific skill set for the prospects position, and then enter a value for each skill level(1-99).
I'm trying to get the subform to auto populate with a specific skill set based on the position selected in the parent form, so the user only needs to input the skill level without selecting each specific skill.
This data is then stored in a table (tblProspectSkill)
To add, I've created a form (frmPosition) that lists the specific skills set for each position.
I'm not sure how to get this subform (fsubProspectSkill) to auto populate with the specified skill set from frmPosition.

I want to create a text box within a form that automatically populates a contact number based on a selection from a combo box, also in the same form.
For example, I have a Bidders Table (tblTenders), this form includes information regarding the Tendor like the company name and a main contact within that company and a phone number for that contact.
I've created a separate table for all the contacts called tblContacts. This table holds all the contact information for each contact. I have a simple form called frmTenders that asks the user to input the Customer (which is the company who are bidding) and the Main Contact, which is a combo box to select the main contact from tblContacts. Below that combo box is a text box called 'Contact Number' - I want this box to display the contact number for the main contact automatically when a main contact is selected from the combo box.
The contact number text box isn't storing that information in any tables etc. It's just for viewing purposes when we need to make a call to that specific tender.

I have a form where all records are listed on one page with a vertical scrollbar (all simple textboxes):
----------------------------------------------
PrimaryKey Name ForeignKey
----------------------------------------------
1 Pam 20
2 John 20
3 Kim 20
4 Larry 20
... underneath these on the form is a blank record for NEW additions, which obviously has nothing in any of its textboxes, waiting for user to input some data, as normal.
The Foreign Key, due to the nature of my DB, will always be the SAME value for each record in the DB (don't ask, it's part of an export/import-to-main-db app). So I know that the NEW record, if created, will have the same value as the rest of the records.
How do I get it so that when a new record is created, the Foriegn Key textbox is automatically filled in with the value from the row above? (Due to referential integ reasons the Foreign Key field MUST be filled in accuratly or else an error ocurrs.)
Looking at the various events, I realise that it is the BeforeInsert event that will sort this out, but I'm at a loss regarding how to get the NEW record's Foreign Key textbox to match the Foreign Key value above it.
Any advice?

Mehere,
I think that you can help me with my problem, similar to the one presented here.
I have a form that, when I select an account number, I want the Group to automatically populate on the form.
Below is the code I input on the 'OnChange' event of the 'Group' field on my form:
strFilter = "OracleAccountNumber = '" & Me!OracleAccountNumber & "'"
Me!Group = DLookup("Group", "Accounts", strFilter)
OracleAccountNumber is the name of the field on my form, and it is the name of the combo box in the table that I want to lookup.
Accounts is the table where I want to lookup the OracleAccountNumber
Group is the field from the Accounts table that I want to automatically populate.
What do I have wrong?

I am trying to do the following. I understand how to create relationships.However, when I create a field with a drop down selection (in this example Phone Number and Email) once that list item is selected I would like the column to the right to populate that information.So when Phone # is selected, the field to the right will populate a number for this individual.

I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do:
1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag")
2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool")
3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.

I have a select query that holds anywhere between 1 to a couple hundred records, I need to take the Name field and populate a textbox which after verification I write to a text file that I later use in a powershell script. So far have tried using VBA to create a variable and populate the textbox based on the string but it only provides me the first item, I've tried dmax and this gives me a single result last Item, Dlookup only gives me the first item, changed it to a listbox which populates the box correctly but only writes the selected item in to my text file.

I'm trying to complete a database.
It is to manage details of pupils with additional support needs, and plan for the extra arrangements the school will provide for assessments.
It has 2 Tables
tbl-PupilDetails
-ScottishCandidateNumber primary key (Unique number which identifies pupils to the exams board)
-Forename
-Surname
-DOB
-YearGroup
-Class
-NatureOfNeed (memo)
-EvidenceOfNeed (memo)
tbl-SubjectLevelArrangement
-ID Primary key, Autonumber
-Pupil foreign key to tblPupilDetails
-Subject
-Faculty
-Level
-Arrangement
I currently use forms for adding new pupils, and updating pupil subjects/arrangements/levels.
I also have forms to search for specific pupils, and to create lists for faculty heads showing which pupils are taking subjects within their faculty and the arrangements we expect to provide.
I use the forms to run queries, which can then output to reports for printing.
Where I am currently having an issue is the faculty field in the tbl-SubjectLevelArrangements. (If I didn't have to report to faculty heads I would just leave it out, but management will insist.)
Currently I have a form with dropdowns for adding subject, faculty, level and arrangement manually. This is acceptable for the subject, level and arrangement because they are completely interchangeable and dynamic throughout the academic year as pupils may drop down a level, or change the type of arrangement they require.
However as faculties are inextricably linked to subjects, I want to remove the possibility of human error. i.e. when a user (me) chooses either geography, history, or RE, then the faculty will always be Humanities, likewise if the user chooses French, German, or Spanish, then the faculty can only be Modern Languages etc.
I'm convinced there must be a very simple way to ensure that the faculty field prefills based on the limited keywords available in the subject field, but I just cannot figure it out.

I made a report that have 'txtRemarks' field, I just want to get remarks automatically in 'txtRemarks' field based on the other field in report. that is why I used a function like below:
Code:
Private Function Estd_Remarks(Estd_Point As Long) As String
If Me.Estd_Point < 20 Or Me.Estd_Point = 0 Then
Estd_Point = "Earlier Established"
Esle
Estd_Point = "OK"
End If
Estd_Remarks = Estd_Point
End Function
And I wrote in properties 'On Format' event this code below:
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If Estd_Remarks = "Ok" Then
Me.txtRemarks = "Ranked & Sortlisted"
Else
Me.txtRemarks = "Estd_Remarks"
End If
End Sub
When preview the report then it shows

Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.
