General :: How To Limit The Options Of A Field Depending On Another Field
Nov 26, 2012
In one table I want to limit the options of one field depending on what is chosen in another field.
Field Type has two options: Receivable and Payable.
I want field Sybtype with this limits:
If Receivable is chosen in Type field you will only have CreditCard & Lockbox available in the Subtype field. If Payable is chosen you will only have Cheque & Transfer to choose.
Shall I have two separate tables? or only one table with Type and SubType as below? but then how can I make the above work?
Type SubType
Receivable CreditCard
Receivable Lockbox
Payable Cheque
Payable Transfer

Hey all,
I have two fields 1 & 2
field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D
Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e
A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z
I would field 2 to have a combo box which only displays a,b,c,d, or e when A is chosen in field 1; c,e,f,g or h when B is chosen; etc
How do I do this?
Cheers all,
Matt :confused:

I am creating a training database and first I have tables in relationship to the courses:
tbl_Courses
Course ID (Primary Key)
Course Title
Objectives
Instructors (lookup field allowing multiple instructors to be selected, meaning they are skilled to teach the course)
tbl_Instructors
Instructor ID (Primary Key
Last Name
First Name
Full Name (Caluclated to put Last Name, First Name)
[code]....
What I am trying to do on a form to create a new event is once the user selects the Course from the Course ID combo box, then I need the Instructor combo box to only display the instructors who are skilled to teach the course which are selected in the tbl_Courses.
I can get all Instructor ID's, but not the names and the class that has multiple instructors show on one line.Should I have not put the Instructors field in the tbl_Courses? Do I need another table for instructor skills or something?

I have an option button for a field [Fully Paid] (Yes/No) in my LoanT and i want to know if it's possible for my database to automatically choose an option depending on a calculated field
(Calculated field from another query) = [Outstanding Balance]
Say... if [outstanding balance] is = 0 or negative (refundable), then Yes should be On, if not it should remain No/off so that i wouldn't have to go over every record and manually choose the option
The option button is very useful when i want to display loans which are Paid and/or still active. How do I go about this?

I am new to Access 2007 and I am having trouble in creating a form. It is simply a data storage table which would be fed in by users. That it.
I need to create a user friendly form so that :
When the user selects : Career_Goal field as "None", the next field called: Years, should be automatically be populated as 0.
In any other case, they should be able to select the years from the dropdown list.
How do I create this if else conditions? Do I use expression builder, if yes then how?

tblAppointment will take register appointments.
tblTreatment contains Cost for different AppointmentTypes.

Entering data in the tblAppointment - AppointmentType and AppointmentCost are the fields in tblAppointment. AppointmentType a drop down box, so that a specific AppointmentType can be selected.
Problem: Now depending on the AppointmentType selected the AppointmentCost field should automatically display the correct Cost.
Can anyone help please?

I have a couple of fields in Access. To explain I will show here the fields I have and their datatype
ID: Autonummer
Amendment: Text
Basis info: Yes/No
Sex: Yes/No
Period: Yes/No
Salary:Yes/No
Shift:Yes/No
Now, in the amendment field, I've inserted a combo box, with 3 options in it. Let's say option A,B and C...The thing I want access to do, is, when option C is selected, I want fields Period, Salary and Shift to be automatically "Yes".But if option A or B is selected, the the user must choose what the other fields are going to be either Yes or No

The general TESTS: AFP, ANAS, CYC etc . . EXTENDED = NETQTY(1)
PTCGCD: EXTENDED = NETQTY(2)

Hi,
I have a fairly simple database that looks like the attached. It is the beginnings of a school database. Unfortunately, the MS template doesn't quite do it.
We have around 700 pupils in 5 year groups. Each year's intake is assigned the year of that intake (e.g. 2002, 2003 etc).
The youngest pupils are in Year 7 whilst the oldest are in year 11.
Each Class is assigned based on the intake year but given the name of the schooling year - (e.g. year 7, year 8 etc). And there are 6 classes per year - hence names 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 etc.
My "Students and Classes" table should combine both the classes and pupils. However, I want to be able to firstly select the class to put the pupil into (and hence infer the induction year), then just show in the next filed only
the pupils that belong to that induction year and hence go into the selected class.
However I design my lookup or query, I can't seem to figure out how to do this, or if this can even be done.
Any help is much appreciated.
Chris

Hi
Not sure if this is a form or table query, so here goes...
I have an invoice table and then an invoice line items table.
In the line items table I have field 'work order number' i.e. each line item will have a corresponding work order number. The db at the moment gets these numbers from a look up table and that table also has a description for that work order number i.e. nr 123 is for surveys and studies.
Now surveys and studies may have three sub headings but the work order number is an umbrella for the main task description and sub taks. The sub taks do not have there own number and at present i can not give them there own number.
Becasue you may have upto 10 different work order numbers for a project and upto 5 sub headings this equates to 50 + sub headings. What I would like to be able to do is that when the work order number has been chosen this filters out the sub headings belonging to that work order.
I am just unsure how to set this up as at present the work order number is a look up with the main heading.
Do I make work order a table in its own right and link that to the line items and then have a lookup for sub headings linking to the work order table??
Thanks for your help.
reading this back it does sound more like a table query??
Kind regards
scott

I have been using Access for many years, but have come against a problem which I can't fathom.
I have a database with a field for "Organisation Type" which contains all the various options which can be chosen by the user.
However, when I'm in a field, it refuses to show that list in alphabetical order, defaulting to an order I don't recognise which is most unuseful as it makes it almost impossible to find the right item, especially for a novice user.
I thought this was perhaps because the form was based on the database table, and this didn't allow sorting.
So, to test my theory, I created a query based on the table and added alphabetical sorting to that field. As soon as I use the query as a basis for the field, I find the problem remains.

I would like my form field to populate based on what the user selects from 2 combo boxes I have. I have a table set up with Region, Position, and Name. I would like when the user selects for example Eastern for the region and President for the position that John Smith would auto populate in the form field. Is this possible and if so, how can I get this to work?

As I began thinking about the data that I need to include in one of my reports I relized that I need to gather some extra data.Each design change has a lifecycle with 7 basic states from not started through to closed. States 4, 5, and 6 have two posible sub-states that I need to capture and report. It is almost like having options.
My data entry form already records the 7 basic states. What I would like to do is have another field that records the sub-states if the design change is in one of those three states.
Will a ComboBox do this?
Do I need a test routine for the After Update event in the first text box? Something that will check for states 1 - 3 and 7 move on to the next field and if states 4 -6 require users to enter the sub-state.
Would a nested if-then-else routine do the job?

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me out on a db i have inherited. Basically I need to add a field to a table and backfill the field with a number depending on a date field.
The new field (CallID) needs to record the order in which calls are received on a certain date (CallDate in the table). So for example the first call on 1/3/05 CallID=1, the second on 1/3/05 CallID=2. The following day CallID restarts at CallID=1.
So I'm looking for an update query which will set CallID for the several hundred existing records in the database. If anyone can help with a pointer or too, or example SQL, I would be very grateful
Cheers

The following code should sum a field depending on the date. The field IncidentYear is created and set to Last, This or "-" depending on the date. I should get three rows, one for each of the three values..
I get..... you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression as part of an aggregate function
I'm sure I've missed something obvious and I can't see it! If I remove the group by clause and the sum field..... it works.
SELECT IIf([Incident Date]>=#01 July 2012#And [Incident Date]<=#30 June 2013#,'Last',
IIf([Incident Date]>=#01 July 2013# And [Incident Date]<=#30 June 2014#,'This','-'))
AS IncidentYear,
Sum(tbl_2c_Acc.[Vehicle Off Road Time]) AS VOR_Acc_Days
FROM (tbl_2c_Acc
LEFT JOIN tbl_Value_Proposition
ON tbl_2c_Acc.Lessee = tbl_Value_Proposition.[Lessee No])
LEFT JOIN tbl_Vehicle_Type
ON tbl_2c_Acc.[Vehicle Reg] = tbl_Vehicle_Type.[Reg No]
GROUP BY IncidentYear;

I have a button setup to email a Proposal Report to specific people. Works fine. I now need the ability to email the Proposal Report (without an addendum) OR email the Proposal Report with an addendum. There are additional fields on the report with an addendum. I have tried the on format event of the Proposal Report to make the addendum fields invisible using this if statement:
Code:
if Forms![CurrentJobs]![Addendums].Form![AddendumNum] Is Null Then
Me.AddendumNum.Visible = False
Me.Label324.Visible = False
Me.Label325.Visible = False
Me.AddendumDrawings.Visible = False
Me.AddendumDrawingsDate.Visible = False
Me.Label326.Visible = False
Me.AddendumFloors.Visible = False
Me.Label327.Visible = False
End If
But I keep getting an "object required" error. how I can run the Proposal Report with or without addendum information depending on the job?

Hi,
I am looking for a way to customize fields to be hidden or not depending on user in forms or reports.
Any idea ?
I wanted to explore the customisation of each query but there must be an easier way to save personal parameters somehow so that the user would go through the forms and hide the non necessary fields once and we would then save somewhere these settings for each user.
Has anybody already experienced such a request ?

I realize there are several threads already dedicated to this particular topic but my situation is slightly different... First, my tables are set up like so:
tblStudent(studentID,LName,FName,MI,Gender)
tblRack(rackID,roomID,studentID,rackNumber)
tblRooms(roomID,roomNumber)
There are 3 racks to a room and a total of 90 rooms. A room can hold up to 3 students. A list box holds values that I have typed in (the room numbers). I went with typing them in rather than pulling them from a query because of the way my tables are set up. If I pull from a query as the tables stand, room numbers show up 3 times, once for each rack. I want to be able to fill in text boxes with information on students assigned to the room I choose from my list box (FName, LName, etc...) I'm kind of at a loss here on how to go about getting the info that I want. Using the column property to populate text fields is probably going to be much easier but a query is needed (I think) and using a query causes room numbers to show up 3 times in my list box... Anyone want to throw me a bone?? Thanks! :)

I have a data field (status) that is either Graduated, Terminated, or Current. I also have a report that has a check box representing each (such as a check box for graduated and another for Terminated etc).
I am trying to get the report to read the status and check the appropriate box in the report.
I have tried this in the control source of the checkbox
=IIf([status]="terminated";True;False)
but this does not work
I have also tried this on the OnOpen
If [status] = "terminated" then
termcheck = true
else
termcheck = false
end if
end sub
But this does not work either - what am I doing wrong :confused:

Hello fellow programmers, I have a tricky one for you. We have decided to split our local City up into different zones. Giving each zone a number and assigning it a colour. I have a form with all the customers who want jobs done in different parts of the city. This form has a text box on it called: Zone - (which has a 3 digit number it it). I want the colour of the text box to change depending on the Zone number, in the continuous Form view. So all the customers living in Zone=111, will have a Red background colour (color), all living in Zone=222 will have a Green background colour. I know conditional formatting through the properties of the Form can be used, but it only allows me to select 3 different situations. I have many more than 3 colours that I want to assign. I am working on a VB module to define what colour numbers from the MS Access Colour Map will be assigned to each Zone number. How can I now apply this module to the form, so when it opens, all the customers who live in Zone=111 will have a Red coloured background, those living in Zone=222 will have a green colour background, etc?

In the database, there is a table called "Jobs" which sales enquiries are entered into. In this table, there are fields called "JobStatus" which has the default text of "Quotation Pending" and a combo box "JobLive" which is a "yes/no" field. Normally a job will come in as quotation request and the "JobsLive" field will be set to "no".
Occasionally, a job will come in as confirmed from the outset. In this case, the job will be marked as "live" in the combo box "JobLive". Is it possible to change the "JobStatus" field to "Job Live" when this combo box is changed to "yes"?At any other stage, the "JobStatus" field will be changed using an update query as and when changes are made.

I have have a "master table" with Analyst ID and Analyst fields among other fields needed. Analyst ID is a number and Analyst will be the name of someone that corresponds to that number. I have a separate table that defines who is assigned to that particular ID.
1 Kim
2 Sarah
3 Beth
I have a form for this master table that shows Analyst ID and Analyst. I would like the default value of the Analyst field to be the name that corresponds to the Analyst ID number for the record. I would also like this same field to be a drop down on the form so that my users can change it as necessary. IE. If the record shows Analyst ID =1, the value for Analyst will show "Kim" unless changed to another analyst manually per the drop down.

I have a form (Access 2010) that we use to keep track of client data. When I enter a number equal to 6 or above in one field (Client Rating and this field is actually formatted as text because it could be 6 or 6a, b, c or 7 or 7a, b, c, etc), I want anything =>6 to automatically check a box in another field which is the Watch Indicator box (a yes/no box), how would I do this?
I tried to create an expression like the below on the Watch Indicator check box and it does not work - not sure why - it did not say it was incorrect, I think I may have it in the wrong place?
I used "After Update" on the Yes/No Box
=IIf([R Rating]<=6,Yes,No)
