I have a field in a table where it is a lookup is a combo box. So this makes the data type of the field a number when in reality it is a text. When I have this field show in a list box it shows the number instead of the text.
View RepliesOk I have a list box (CounselorInitials) and a listbox (AssignedToYou)
The list box has 6 columns and is using a query (AssignedToMe). The important one is the 6th one (Counselor). All working off a table called DityLog.
I want to select initials in the combo box and then it will filter the listbox and only show records that are the same.
So if I select initials MC from the combo box I want the Listbox to show all records that have the initals with MC.
Is there any way to use a lookup field as the control in a QBF as opposed to a text box?

I have 2 tables...a lookup table with possible responses (i.e. yes, no, don't know) and the second with 8 fields that contain the values selected from the first table. Tables are related one-to-many. I need to count the number of times each of the responses shows from the lookup table shows in each of the fields in the main table. Have tried to query with the lookup field set to "group by" and each field set to "count".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have multiple fields in a table that are set up as Yes/No and display as checkboxes on a form. Now I need to create a text field on a report that showes all the Yes answers. The text field needs to figure out if it's a Yes answer, then display the field name, if there is more than one yes answer in the fields it is looking at, it should separate each with a "," . This is a large text field, that could show as many as 10 Yes answers.
What is the best way to go about doing this? I use Access 2010
I have a listbox with several options.
When the user selects one of these items, i want a combo box's text to be changed to the selected item in the list box.
The listbox is named : D_OutputLsb
The combobox is named : D_ComponentNameCmb
I have
Table called "Products"
Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20)
Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products
When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products
What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21.
I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.
Whenever I create a combobox, Access asks me if I want to grab the values from another table, or if I just want to manually input the possible values.
My question is: is one of the two solutions "better" than the other?
Let's imagine I am creating a Form where I can create a new Contact, and in a listbox (with multiple selections allowed) I want to list the possible character traits, so I have
- Funny
- Annoying
- Smart
- Interesting
- Good-looking
- ...
I think that if I need to store in the Contact records these possible traits, I will have to create a Many-to-Many relationship (therefor creating a junction table) between Contact and Traits.
On the other hand, could I do everything without grabbing values from an extra table and directly inputting the values in the listbox? How would these elements be stored in the Contact record if I allow multiple values in one single field?
I am using a combobox to lookup contact names.
The rowsource is taken from a field in a contact table that contains the contact's First name and then Last name.
You could use the dropdown to pick the name or type the First name into the combobox.
The problem is that the combobox matches only the beginning part of the field as you type. So if you start typing the person's last name, the combobox would not display anything.
Is there an easy way to allow the combobox to lookup any part of the field that matches the text being typed?
I would like to know if the following is possible: I have a table, I have a form based on that table (datasheet view) and I would like for certain columns to visible or not based on the input on a Combobox (list of countries) that is based on another form.
I have searched on the web and I found that the following:
On a button based on the main menu form:
Code:
Private Sub Go_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stOpen As String
stOpen = Me!cboDest
stDocName = "Datasheet"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , , , , stOpen
and then on the event "on open" of the form Datasheet I have inserted the following:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Select Case OpenArgs
Case "USA"
Forms![Overflow]![Tasks].Visible = True
Forms![Overflow]![Constant Number (Min)].Visible = True
[Code] ....
I have done it as a test, but it appears that it does not work. It opens the forms, but it does not hide or show the columns based on the option, it brings all the columns.
I'm creating a Form called Pharmacy where I can select a [Diagnosis] from a combo box in the form. This combo box source references a table called tblDiagnosis where each Diagnosis also has a multi-valued field called [Indications].
The Pharmacy form also has a multi-select listbox with all possible Indications. I would like to write a VBA code such that when a Diagnosis is selected, the Indications for that Diagnosis are automatically selected/highlighted in the listbox on the form as well.
As such, by selecting a Diagnosis, all the indications attached to that Diagnosis will automatically be selected; however, if additional indications are needed, they can still be selected afterward.
I know that there is a function Me!Listbox.Selected(i) = True, where i is the row of the entry in the listbox. However, the i in the listbox does not correspond to the ID of the Indication. I think that if there is a way to select listbox items by name, that would be much more efficient.
The reason I have a listbox, is because this listbox of Indications then references another table called tblDrugs where all drugs that are approved for the selected indications selected are filtered and displayed.
I have a form with an unbound textbox. I want to be able to enter a sequence of digits and spaces (e.g., 02 950 4187); however, when I paste this into the box, I always have to delete the two spaces until the number is 9 digits long. Then it will accept the number and go look for the prize. How do I get the textbox to accept the number I paste in?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using a combobox to select a record based off my primary key field, and then a separate button to print that particular record.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a combobox [CBreason] that reads from a table to show me why someone is gaining access to the building.
One of the options is "Incident".
When incident is selected I want a textbox [TBIncidentNo] and a button[BIncidentDup] control I made to appear.
I thought that the code:
If Me.CBReason.Value = "Incident" Then
Me.CBIncidentNo.Visible = True
Me.BIncidentDup.Visible = True
Else
Me.CBIncidentNo.Visible = False
Me.BIncidentDup.Visible = False
End If
Placed in the after update action of the CBReason box would sufice but it doesnt work
I'm guessing the value is not recognised fro some reason but i cant work out why. There is no error message or issus, it makes the box dissapear when there is no entry but no change for selecting incident.

Hi
I've created a listbox and am using the following code
stWhat1 = "": stCriteria1 = ","
For Each vItm1 In Me!LstArchive.ItemsSelected
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & Me![LstArchive].Column(0, vItm1)
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & stCriteria1
Next vItm1
Me!txtCriteria1 = CStr(Left$(stWhat1, Len(stWhat1) - Len(stCriteria1)))
The problem is that my bound column is a text field. I'm really struggling on where to put my quotations so that I get the following with the In function
In('00638','00639').
Any help or pointing in right direction would be very much appreciated
