Hello! Needing Help With Comboboxes And List, Please!!
Dec 12, 2006
Hi! Let me explain my little problem:confused::
I have in a form two comboxes an a listbox. On the first combobox you can introduce the TAG, on the second one a machine. I need that the listbox show the values of the first and second combobox separated by a comma.
The first combobox= TAG
The second= machine
listbox=TAG machine value together without using the table
If you can help me I will appreciate your information:D
Hi, I am trying to create a button that upon click it moves the slelected item in list box one to list box 2 but i am not sure how to go about it, cany anyone help?
Hi Im currently building an Access aplication and Im looking for some advice.
What Id like to do is use a list box which has a list of items in it, once an item is selected and a button clicked for this information to be sent into a text box to then be stored by the database. Each new item should be added to the end of the list.
I was wondering if its actually possible and how you would go about doing it.
Ok guys, im going to be flat out honest, Im new to this whole database thing. I've been doing a lot of studying and Decided that I am going to try my hands at a real simple and straight foward database. It seemed fairly simple but i guess not so im asking for help. I think my problem lies in understanding how the keys work, and what exactly they do for the database itself. And two the relationships, im not really sure of, i understand how to set them, but again i dont know what they do for the database in the end. Ok so heres what i got:
The object of this DB was to collect, store, retrieve, edit and display data for a fictious Print center that deals with Black & White copies and Color Copies.
3 tables:
Company Customer Job
these tables contain:
Company Table: CompanyID Set to AutoNumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY* CompanyName Set to Text Address Set to text City Set to text State Set to text with 2 Character limit for input ZipCode Set to text with 5 characrtr input Description Set to Memo Webaddress Set to hyperlink
Customer Table: CustomerAccountNumber Set to autonumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY* CompanyName Set to Text JobNumber Set to number FirstName set to text LastName Set to text PhoneNumber Set to text with mask set FaxNumber Set to Text with mask set Email adddress Set to text
Job Table: Jobnumber Set to autonumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY* Jobname set to text Jobtype Set to text JobDescription Set to memo DueDate Set to Date and time
Ok now hers the relationships I set up:
Company Table: CompanyID ------> Customer table:CompanyName
I tried and thought this would keep things simple but for some reason when i go to create my querys, i get this thing telling me that i have other data from another tabel and cant be edited, i figured out that i had to put the job in first to get a job number and when i go to enter the customers information i have to manually enter the job number in. (Kinda Sucks) I entered some sample data, and tried to make a form, I used the autoform and created a general form but when I flip to the last record in the DataBase it wont let me enter any new information, I thought i was suppose to do that, so i went to the table properties and set the table to Data Enrty Only, and i still couldnt enter new data.
:confused: Ok so theres my problem, I made a boat with duct tape and now im wondering why im sinking to the bottom. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED and if possible a broken down real world explanation on how the keys and relationships work, and what they actually do for the database. I also probably didnt set up the data in the fields correctly, I was trying to normalize everything but im not sure.
Thanks guys! Im really greatful for any help you can offer! ~[MikE]~ :)
Hope nobody minds but I don't really know Access and I have a table that needs sorting pretty desperately.I have a table with 5 columns that I need to filter out so just the remaing records are left over.http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7328/untitled1wb8.th.jpg (http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled1wb8.jpg)The column 'fax' is the column with the records in it and the following columns need the record removing if the box is ticked.TimFPS, OurFPS, OnFPS, NeedsToBeFPS, however the column 'NumberWeHave' I'm not too sure about so I'll ignore it for now (I may need to take them out later)Sorry to be a complete noob and if anyone can help it will be muchos appreciated.
Hi all, I need to develop a relational database to track new construction -builders, subdivisions and employees and additional info about each subdivision. I want to be able to set it up so that the end user can click on a drop down list of builders and then have another drop down list of subdivisions to choose from when updating or doing data entry. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As basic parameters I have around 80 builders with up to 150 subdivisions. I would also like to be able to use this in other areas besides mine.
I am a novice user trying to set up a db for small business and am needing a little direction. Most of the company's sales come from the contracted work for remodeling homes; however a small amount of sales are over the counter sales within their showroom. How do I set up the db to track the following: customer info, contract sales amount & date & payments & balance due, labor costs by employee and sub contractor, materials costs, and net profit from contracted amount vs deductions of costs? Payments made are directly related to contracted sale and not labor or material costs; with the exception of the over the counter sales. My boss currently tracks the above info in an spreedsheet ... please advise. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi I am a teacher using Access 2007 for the first time. I have downloaded and created a Student Info database which contains details of nationality, guardian's contact info, etc. I also have an Attendance Excel Sheet which calculates daily / monthly attendance in its most basic form. How do I link the cells that show the current attendance of each student to the Access db? Can I link it so that it appears on the db forms / tables / individual student page? Please advise. I'd appreciate the coming to me in painfully simple steps. I teach English and Humanities and am not well versed in computer language ... although I enjoy its challenges and use a lot of it for teaching and administratie purposes. Thanking you in advance, Kscape.
Help!!! I am setting up a database with 'open' and 'close' dates of an event for each record/ID. I want to be able to sort/query my results into the next event (i.e. open or close) as it will be happening so that I can plan for each event, but I am not sure how to go about doing this. I have tried various queries but because the information is linked to one ID it does not want to duplicate the information in the record. I can set up separate queries for the 'open' and 'close' dates but I can't seem to be able to tie it together =>I have 2 queries, but I really need it to be at least in one report in date order each record appearing twice ...once at the open date, once at the closing date. anyone....please!!!!!!! :) thank u
Okay my access skills are low at best and I'm trying to build a database for work so hopefully this isn't to stupid of a question.
I'm trying to creat a query that will allow the user to type in a work type and have it generate the all records containing that work type. The way the data is in there to get it to generate just a specific work type without the input I have to use Like "*newacct*" for example. Is there any way to do this since there are more then one work types for some records?
I'm not a programmer, I am infact a 17 year old College Student from the United Kingdom - Studying ICT!
For my major project I have to design, build and test a camera loans system for my photography department. Except, I am having problems with Combo box lookups. It's been over 6 months since I learnt this, and it's all a blank. Something as simple as this is simply not working...
e.g. in the Studentloans table, I wish to enter the Student ID number from the student ID card inside the combo box, and hit enter so that it brings up the relevant specific loans of that student. I enter the id, hit enter and the student name, class etc does not change. Why? The same goes for my Camera Maintenance Table, Camera + Maintenance tables are combined to a CAMERAMAINTENANCE TABLE - Therefore I wish to enter the Camera ID number so that if i hit enter, it brings up the relevant service histories of that specific camera...
The relationships are all ok, the fields for Student ID are lookup, etc.
I don't understand. It's driving me insane. I need help with this, I'm struggling so much.
OK, I asked this question a day or so ago and got some feed back. What I would really like is a difinative answer. Basically Yes or No. Is it possible to add small picture, (icon size) to a comobox. I realise its not good practice to have pictures embeded in the DB but on this occasion its what I need to do. Ive found software on the web that allows you to do it, which leads me to belive that it can be done, any ideas!
I have 4 Comboxes all Cascading from one an other and it's all working fine. My question is about My fourth combo boxe, It as two fields that the user can see when he selects the fourth comboboxe; pretty straightforward...
I want the user to see the two fields on the form after using the combo boxe. For this I have one of the record to populate the comboboxe and the other one to populate an other text box using the dlookup function where the criteria is = to the field selected in the combo boxe, I hope you're following...
Now, some of my records for each fields are not all different from each other so when the user select a set of value the "dlookup text box" may have several option: the index is not unique if you see what I mean...
To have the unique index, I would need to add to the 4th combobox the primary key which is an autoNo that the user doesn't really need to see...
So... I am thinking of hidding the primary key column in the comboBoxe and make it the main field THEN write a code on the after Update of the Comboxe to hide the comboxe and show a text box placed over the comboxe with a dlookup function with a criteria = primary key and an other text box set on a different field with the same criteria.
I hope this is making sense, I was wondering what you were thinking of this method, it seems to involve a lot of fiddling which I don't mind but I'd rather make sure that i making it right.
I have a form with many combo and list boxes, but i don't know how to find a relation between them. I want to select a name of a product that is in a combobox and then a list or text box will show its description.... Please help me because I will burn out sooner or later :eek: KD:confused:
Hi, I wish to create a combo box based on a query. There is a vendor name and vendor ID. The combo box will show the vendor name when dropped down and let the user select by name but it will then store the vendor ID when a user selects so basically I need this
Combo Box row source is vendor name but when it stores, it stores the ID like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Does anyone know how to do it? Adwait
I Have A Form With A Combobox When I Choose A Record from The Box, The Matching Info From The Table Populates A Textbox Example I Choose The Acct Number From The comboBox And The Company Name Goes In a Textbox and the phone number in another textbox looks like it is fine on the form My Problem Is That When I Look At The Table The Company Name Is In Its acctName field But The Account Number Field Has The Companies Name Aswell How Do I Fix This- and also if you type the number in the acctnumber field on the table it places that number in the acctname textbox of the form there is something that is mixed up here but i dont where
I'm pretty new to this stuff and I'm having this odd problem:
I've created a tabular form that uses a combobox for each record. The problem is that if I had, say 10 records in the form and I select a value for the combo box of one of the records, all of the combo boxes change to the same value...
Hello, I have set up a form which will be used for filtering reports. I would like to be able to generate a single report and in order to do that I will have to filter three fields.
I am using three combo boxes to achieve this. The three fields I am filtering are as follows: Tenant Name, Building Name, and Unit
The Tenant Name and Building Name work perfectly but I can't get the rowsource for Unit to display any values.
Here is what I have so far:
For the tenant name: rowsource: SELECT Tenants.[Tenant Name] FROM Tenants ORDER BY [Tenant Name];
The above displays all the tenants that currently have leases.
Once the Tenant Name is selected the Building combobox is populated with all the buildings leased to the selected tenant (Tenants can lease more than one building). This is achieved by the following: rowsource: SELECT distinct Leases.LeaseID, Leases.[buildingName] FROM Leases WHERE (((Leases.Tenant)=[forms]![Lease Offer]![tenantCombo])) UNION select distinct null, null FROM Leases ORDER BY Leases.[buildingName];
This also works perfectly. Only the buildings that are occupied by the tenant are displayed.
Now for my problem. Because, not only can the tenant be holding a lease in more than one building, but they can also have more then one lease in the specific building (ie for a specific Unit number). So what I am trying to do is to have the Unit combobox display only the unit numbers that the selected tenant is leasing in the selected building.
I tried to simply modify the rowsource of building name but it is not working (the combo box is always null). rowsource: SELECT distinct Leases.LeaseID, Leases.[Unit] FROM Leases WHERE (((Leases.Tenant)=[forms]![Lease Offer]![tenantCombo]) AND ((Leases.buildingName)=[forms]![Lease Offer]![buildingCombo])) UNION select distinct null, null FROM Leases ORDER BY Leases.[Unit];
So this is where I need help. This is very important to my project because, it is the only way I see being able to filter my report to a single specific lease.
Also, not sure if it will be useful, but I had trouble to get just the first two comboboxes working but I eventually succeeded, so if anyone is interested on how to achieve these to update here is the code:
It is only basically three functions:
'this is the "On Current" even of the form Private Sub Form_Current() buildingCombo.Requery unitCombo.Requery End Sub
'this is "On Change" event in the the tenant combo box. the building part 'works but the unit combo doesn't. However, I'm pretty sure it is a problem 'with the actual query not the code below Private Sub tenantCombo_Change() buildingCombo.Value = Null unitCombo.Value = Null buildingCombo.Requery unitCombo.Requery End Sub
'this is "On Change" event in the building Combobox, however it is not doing 'anything for me now. Private Sub buildingCombo_Change() unitCombo.Value = Null unitCombo.Requery End Sub
Hi! I want to use cascading comboboxes but when i'm setting criteria for second combo box, the "combo box form value" is not visible. i've tried to use the same names as in example form. It didn't work. I have always the window asking for value of the parameter. What should i change ?
I have read a few threads about comboBoxes and what-not, but I guess I'm just having trouble relating the answers to my particular problem. I've done a semester of Access at Uni so I'm a little versed in SQL and basica database theory, and am really just after a point in the right direction as to how to accomplish this:
I have a friend who is sort of like a maintenance worker for a number of places around my city. He wants a database made up which allows him to quickly and easily make a report on the day's/week's/month's jobs he has completed.
Basically, the information in the report should be Premise (the particular building the job was done in), Location (the room in the building), Item (the 'thing' that maintenance was done on), Job Type (eg. Repair, replace, purchase etc), Date and Time.
Ok, so that's the information he wants, and here's how he wants to enter it:
He wants some kind of form which contains a drop box (or combo box) full of the various Premises, and once he highlights the Premise, a second drop box branches out (I think this is what's called a cascading drop box? Maybe not...) which allows him to highlight the Location, then a 3rd allows him to select the Item, and finally the Job Type. Once he selects these things, he wants to be able to type in the date and time, and save the information in a Latest Jobs table.
So in the end, he wants to bring up the Latest Jobs table at some point, and make a report from it. But, once he's made the report, he wants to have the Latest Jobs table append to an All Jobs table, and then clear itself ready for the next wave of Jobs.
So that's the situation, thanks for reading if you got this far :P
I'm not expecting a giant solution to the entire problem, I'm just looking for some tips and strategies on how to acheive this, and some elements of Access I should research in order to help.
I've searched the forum but can't quite find what I'm looking for. I have one main table (tblFOBData) with the fields Material, MarketCode, Vendor and Cost. I also have a form that uses the Material and MarketCode fields in cascading combo boxes and this works fine, However, If you select a Material and MarketCode it will only return a single record and so I would like to autofill the data from the other two fields on to the form, preferebly without using a subform is this possible
Hi, I have a form with a subform on it. Also contained on the form are 5 comboboxes that are listing the entries in each table.
What i would like to be able to do it select an entry in any of the comboboxes and that will in turn filter the subform on the selections made whilst also filtering the remainder comboboxes based on a selection made.
I can get it to work by filtering one at a time with this code bound to each combobox:
Private Sub cmbAisle_AfterUpdate() Me.qryAllData_subform.Form.Filter = "[Aisle]='" & Me.[cmbAisle] & "'" Me.qryAllData_subform.Form.FilterOn = True End Sub
But each time i select an entry in another combobox it re-filters on that selection.
Hi! I have a problem combining values of comboboxes, let me explain me better...
I have a text box and two comboboxes on a form First, you introduce a data on the text box, then you select something of one of the comboboxes
the third combo box have to have the value of the text box and the value of the combo box separated by a comma or a space. Please help me with this. I need to finish this database soon:confused:
I usually use ComboBoxes to show a user-friendly name instead of an ID. For example, I would use a ComboBox of EmployeePK, FirstName + " " + LastName and set the first column as the control source but with 0" width.The issue is these are supposed to be read only. I can prevent the user from changing the field but I don't have a good solution for hiding the ability to select the drop down.
My current method is to create a transparent box over the combobox (so it can't be selected) then hide the dropdown arrow with a background colored rectangle.
