I have a combobox containing the "Field Names" of a table called "Main" Also, I have a report called xyz which only has one field.
All I want, whatever field name user selects in the combo, report displays the results of selected field name only.
example
Main Table has three fields (Fie1, Fie2 and Fie3) The combo box lists the names of all three fields (Fie1 to Fie3) Report has a textbox in the detailed section.
I want user to select the field name from combo click button to generate the report (lets say if user selected Fie2) and want textbox to list all the records of Fie2
i tried [Forms]![Fm1]! [cm1] but it is listing the field names not the values in the field...
i have a list box with 6 columns. in column 6 there is a time field. on selecting this list box i want to set the value of a combo box to the time field.
This has no effect. I am not sure if i have done this correctly. but the combo box has manual values in it. the reason i want to have values in it is so if the treatment is 45 minutes at default. But i want to change it to 30 minutes just for a single occasion then i thought that this would be the way to do it.
I want to have a Combo Box on a form, that derives its values from a Table, but does not send selected values to another table. I want to use the value selected in the combo box in VBA code.I have set up a combo box, without a control source, and it shows the values in the drop down list but after I select one the box just goes empty. I expected that after selecting a value that value would be displayed in the combo box (and that would then become the value of the combo box that I could then use in code. I.e, CmdBox1.Value). If so, what do I need to do so that the value selected is displayed (and becomes the value of the combo box?).
I have a combo box control in my form named PayDateID, but I told that control to DISPLAY the associated field PayDate.
I now am trying to make a separate control in the same form whose control source is the DISPLAYED PayDate, but it only wants to reference the underlying PayDateID.
How can I make the control source be the displayed value in that combo box?
I have a 2 unbound text boxes.1 populates the id number from a table.I want the other to display the first name where this id occurs. I am currently putting this in the control source of the seconded textbox
My question is in Access 2010 I am currently in the property sheet at a combo list i just added to a form to be more precise with the data the user will look for. My question is I know I have to be in Control source in order for the combo box to select the data that I entered from the table. When i click the arrow the drop list is empty and then when I click the elipses (three dots) it takes me into expression builder, so i am confused on what I should do to select the field I want the combo box to focus on.
I have a set of cascading combo boxes. When a value is selected in Cat 1 ID, it narrows down the selections in Cat 2 ID which narrows down the selections in Cat 3 ID.
However, the values don't show up for columns Cat 2 ID or Cat 3 ID until I enter the row. Then I have it set to requery the fields because the underlying data isn't populated. But then when I leave the row, the values go away.
Why doesn't it show the underlying value from the table? Each column is bound to a field in a table - I would assume that the recorded value would show up. Did I miss something easy?
I am relatively new to Access and i am wondering why i cannot find a specific field from a table on the control source when i am and attached it to a check box.
I have created the field on the table, and now i want to attached it to the check box on a form however when i go down the list of control sources i cannot see it.
I am trying to create a image based off a drop down result. I have had no problem with setting up a image based off a static number. e.g 0456432 in the student id field will bring up students photo in the network share.
What I am having an issue with is the control source will look for a number instead of the name that the drop box displays. this is due to a separate table for the drop box.
what is the expression i need to make in order for the name to appear from the dropbox rather than the source id number?
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
Hi all, at the moment all of my field are control sourced. I heard there is a way whereby the field could be unbound and one button it the control source for them all. Im not entirely sure what this means or how to go about it. But i think it would solve the problem of if my users start entering data into a record and then decide to leave it, this record is automatically added to the table, with little or no data. As the data in the table is used for statistics, the table showing records which are not actually there is causing problems. Im not sure if i explained this well, but i would be grateful of any help. Thanx
I have a subform listing items for purchase. Some are services and are not taxable, some are products and are taxable.
So far, I am calculating the sales tax for each record (item paid for), based on whether the thing is taxable or not and putting that result in a text box (txtSales_Tax) on the form. Since these calculated amounts aren't stored in a field, I can't SUM them, since SUM only works on data in table fields. Can someone tell me how to get a total?
Otherwise, I'll get rid of txtSales_Tax entirely, if someone can tell me how to write a SUM function, as a Control Source, that includes an IIf, or a WHERE, so it only adds items where the yes/no field Taxable=True.
I've got an IIf with a SUM function in it but, even in the footer, that only works for the current record. I need a SUM that has a nested IIf or WHERE in order to include all the records.
I have a drop down list of Last name and first name.
I want this to be the only unlocked feature on the page. When a name is selected the other information is shown (the persons cc#, Exp date, phone number, email etc.)
I am almost sure its a control source, but i'm not 100% as i'm relatively new to Access..
Another issue I would like to know is how to show the Last Name, First Name in the selected drop down after its selected, currently its only showing the Last name.
is it possible to change the control source of an unbound text box ?
For example i have a textbox which simply displays the number of current records displayed i.e. =DCount("*", "queryname")
Now i wanted that with the click of a button (or something), i wanted to change it's controlsource to =DCount("*", "queryname2") ... however, as a result i got #name instead of the correct count.
I have created a new field in a Form and named the Control Source "Active". However, when I vew in Form View there is a "0" in the field and it also does not allow me to type anything in the field.

I want to select JPEG's and Visio files to import and viewable in the report format. Can anyone give me an idea of how to achieve this...I have been told I need a control source...
I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done 2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
Health-related services are not charged sales tax, but products are.
In order to have one subform to do the job (rather than one for non-taxable and one for taxable items), I'm trying to create separate running sums of taxable and not taxable items from the same query, but am not getting far. "WHERE" statements don't seem to be working in Control Source code.
Currently, there's a cboItem_Name that populates txtItem_Cost. There's txtQuantity and txtExtended_Price. All working fine. The cbo query includes whether the item is taxable or not, from a YES/NO field in the table.
I'm trying to get txtTaxable_Sub_Total to SUM[Item_Cost]*[Quantity] where [Taxable] = YES, but it ain't happenin'.......
Is there a better way to go about this, or can someone suggest correct syntax to me?
Greetings, I have a search form with a list box that displays query results. Double clicking on a row in the list box opens a detail form with the detail of the selected record. The other way to get to a detail form is by clicking on a command button that displays the detail of each of the records in the query result, one by one. The problem is that there are many more fields in the detail form than the query that is its' control source. Since the detail form displays an individual record, it seems like it should be able to go into the table and fetch the rest of the data. No?
I have created my query based on a table in order to find how many data are in the list, then I have added a textbox in one of the form and I added this line in the control source:
SELECT AcademicAudioCount.Total FROM AcademicAudioCount;
i have manually built my form in Access 02. Now i want to bind a particular control to a table - ie. when the user hits 'Submit' the record will get written to the correct tables. simple data entry
i have a table called tblShipping, in which there is a field called Goods. in the control source i have the expression: =[tblShipping]![Goods] but this is not working. in the text box (in normal view of my form) appears: "#Name?"
This is a very simple problem, and it seems to me like it should work but it doesn't. On my form, I have a field called [mindate], which looks up the earliest date from a table. I also have a field called [maxdate] which looks up the latest date in my table. These both work great. My third text box [difference] is supposed to find the difference between the two above dates in days, but it doesn't work.:eek: The control source of this [difference] text box is this:
