I have a form with a list on it called Lst_Areas. I can multiselect from the list and then click a button which opens another form for me to do some work on the selected list items. Once I am done and close the form which takes me back to the form with Lst_Areas on it, I need to reshow Lst_Areas to show the list without the items I worked on.I have tried Lst_Areas.Refresh in loads of places, on the form with Lst_Areas on it and in the form I use to work on the items selected but nothing works. The form with Lst_Areas on it is called Frm_SearchAreas and the and the form I use to edit the chosen listitems is called Frm_EditAreas.
I 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 would like to separate my list box in two categories.Indeed it is composed by 2 types of criteria but arranged in the same List box (I can't create another List box, it's forbidden).how can I proceed?I've thought to insert a dash but it has to appear all the time and I don't know if it's possible to do that.
I've also thought to enter a title IN the list box above each category but it has to appear all the time too..when I click on one item in the List box it becomes highlight.May be code the 2 titles I could add for being always selected (highlight).I don't want to have to select the 2 titles every time!!!
I have a query based report Linked to a form. That is, in my form, i have a combo box. Selecting this combo box pulls out a certain field values in list box in the same form. (Cascading Combo/ List Boxes).
So after i select a certain value in combo box, it shows a certain field values in the list box. Now, i want to open a report and view only the records that has the selected combo box and list box values.
Note: I have seen a guy made an access report based on a query. He made a form with a combo box and a list box.
The report is based on the combo box value selected by the user. Once, the user selected a value in the combo box, the list box updates automatically. ( I have done till here successfully). Then he used a toggle button on the same form.
This toggle button opens the report with the combo box value as the criteria but filters the report based on the field value in the list box.
How to place a toggle button with a filter command to open a query based report?
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.
I have a parameter query where user enter the department number to get their info. I want instead of entering the department number, a list box pops up and ask to select department as parameter and run the same query.
With Access 2000, for the On Focus event, typing Me!MyCombobox.Dropdown displays the entries in the drop down list. With 2007 the list appears momentarily and then disappears. Is there a way to keep the list from disappearing
If I have a form with multiple list boxes, lets say named 10, 20 and 30. and multiple text fields called 15,25,and 35. Now I want to get a value in the list box based on the text box value so I make row source queries that looks like this.
SELECT [table].field1,[table1].field2 FROM [table1] WHERE ((([table1].field2)=[Forms]![form1]![15])); SELECT [table].field1,[table1].field2 FROM [table1] WHERE ((([table1].field2)=[Forms]![form1]![25])); SELECT [table].field1,[table1].field2 FROM [table1] WHERE ((([table1].field2)=[Forms]![form1]![35]));
So now my question... Is it possible to make one query that picks up the 15,25 or 35 depending on wether it is being queried from 10, 20, or 35. The difference in name is always the same except for the first number so could it be made to reference where it is asked from?
Basically I have a list box and I want to be able to pick several items from it (No relation except for the name in the Inital Assigned Field) then hit a button and then it opens another form and shows all the records selected. I want to this to see several records at once but also change the value of all the fields to the same value.
I have a database with a form. Form has a list Box. I write a code for sorting data in list Box and it is worked but sorting in one of the column in list box does not work.I think the reason of it that this column is a combo box with multiple values.
I use access to gather information on testing that is conducted at my company. In the database I designed I set up a multiselect list box for when the people who conducted the test can check off the test equipment that they used. I did this because at anytime any number of different items can be used. Though I don't think we have ever used more then 10 test items. The reason for tracking the items that were used is if they, when out for yearly calibration, come back out of spec we can look at what tests used that equipment. As I further develop my system, I am starting to ask for more information from the requesters. I would like them to be able to check off what individual items are in the item being tested. Creating that list isn't the hard part for me.
My question comes in here. I know that using a multiselect list box is frowned upon as they can be sloppy to deal with when looking to extract data. Being as I am looking to expand my database, I was looking for what to do. I would still like to give the option of a multiselect list box, but should I create more fields and have the items used put into these new fields? Should I do the same for equipment that is used for the testing. If not and the list box is ok, how best to go through all the records to gather what ones used the specified equipment?
I got a database that has lots of subform which are all locked, I got a button that open the same subform in a pop up form with a macro that insert a new record. But when I close the subform after puting the information in the new record does not update on the main form untill you go away from the current record and come back again
I have a table with a few Listbox options. I want one of the columns' values to be determined by the value chosen in another field. How do I do this?
Example: In column A I choose value ABC from the dropdown. I want column B to now offer values in that list of DEF, GHI, JKL. If I chose XYZ in column A instead, I'd want the column B list to show MNO, PQR, STU. Etc.

What I want to achieve on my (Word) letters, forms, reports etc is a concatenated list that does not have any blanks!!
city, county and zipcode will always be filled however it is possible that add_2 and add_3 could be blank. I hope I am explaining this correctly?
How do I achieve this? I envisage a query which produces just one list that I can just add to my documents but I am struggling with the formula to ignore the blanks.
I have been asked if I can add a priority list to my database and I am trying to figure out how to do it.
The database already exists and this would be added code/forms. Basically this database has a number of users, all identified by a login name. Each of these users have several projects assigned to them. The projects are identified by a unique project number.
What I need to do is to be able to list all the projects that a user has, which is easy to do by simply creating a query, but then the user needs to be able to type in a priority number (1 to infinity) for each of these projects with no number repetitions. If a project priority is updated, say from 6 to 2, then the projects that had priorities 2 to 5, get a +1 added to their priority number so they go 3 to 6. Likewise if a project gets "demoted" (priority is lowered) then the ones below go up one.
I'm trying to show the modal value of a column in a query that only has text in, not numbers. I want to present this in a text box in a report.
My report already has a query as its record source that only shows data for a given year and given month, these are chosen using parameters created in the query. Thus all I need to figure out is how to show the modal value for the column "Categories" on the report somehow.
Drop down list equipped with new item input provided. My application now use a drop down list to access/display a form with certain item selected, but I want to entry new item using drop down list which equipped with "entry new item" then I hope the form can be accessed belongs to new item.
I have a number of drop down menus to select Building Name, Building Number and then Equipment Name and Equipment Number. I want the list to be linked so that when you select the building name the building number is picked up. Also I want the Equipment List's with to change so that once the building has been selected only the equipment available in that building is available to be selected. Is there a way I can do this?
Hi there. I have a form with two sub forms on it. The form loads with a reference number that I pass to a function that in turn requeries the first sub form. The function call is in the on load event of the main form. This part works fine. The second sub form uses a similar requery function to the first one. The only difference is that the query for the second sub form is based on a reference number from the selected record in the first sub form. If I put the function call for the second sub form in the on click of the first one all is well and the second sub form displays all records with a matching reference number.
The problem is that when the main form loads the first sub form will display the correct data but the second remains blank or displays the wrong data. I know this is happening because the first sub form has not loaded fully and so the second sub form cannot get the reference number. I just can’t find a way to make the second sub form display the correct data when the main form loads.
I have tried calling the requery function for the second sub form from most of the events on the main form and many of the events on the first sub form but to no avail. I also tried putting a meaningless sub form at the bottom of the main form and putting the requery function for the second sub form in the on load event but that was no good either. This surprised me as until that point I was assuming that access was loading the sub forms sequentially from top to bottom.
Can anyone tell me how I might determine the point at which the first sub form has been loaded so that I can get access to the reference numbers needed for the second sub form query. I would prefer not to use a timer for this as there is no way to determine the maximum time it will take access to load the rest of the data but at present it looks like the only option left.
Any comments would be much appreciated and sorry for the lengthy explanation.
I just added a ActiveX control to my program and I have a scroll mouse, and there when the user used the mouse to scroll through the records, the record changes but the ActiveX Control doesn't. My activeX Control is used for a digital signature. Anyone Have any ideas?
This is a lot more complicated than the title suggests. I was asked to reset the work order numbers used by the maintenance department. When they reach work order #9999 they want to start over. My best bet is to make a backup of the tables and create new ones that include the last 2-3 weeks of activity. If I do that I'll have two potential problems:
The next autonumber needs to be lower than the pre-existing records but not start at 1 Recombining data from the old table (for whatever reason) will create false relations
Does anyone know a possible solution to these problems or is there a better method to refresh the database?
I have a 'Snapshot' report, which gives up-to-the-minute data on a business - sales year-to-date, month-todate, week-to-date and today. They run this many times a day, but ideally, they would like to have the information display on a monitor, and be updated automatically every few minutes. Is there any way that a query can run by itself every few minutes, and gather the current information?
Quick question, in Access 2007, i created a table that pulls data out of our system via ODBC. No if the system gets updated, how do i refresh data in access? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
