Help Updating List Boxes
Mar 28, 2005
I am working on a database for a bowling tournament. I'm currently working on a form where the user selects from a combo box bowlers' names for doubles pairings. I thought that as a helpful tool I would also display a list of available remaining bowlers once the combo box information has changed.
I'm trying to write a module for the combobox_change trigger. What I'm having trouble doing is pulling the updated recordset from the base form and using that to update the availability box -- in other words, how can you query data from the recordset underlying an open form before the form is closed and the data is saved to the tables. The only way I can do this now is to temporarily close the form, manipulate a recordset from the table, then re-open the form. There's got to be a better way. Maybe I'm just missing something here.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This is my first post, but I've been lurking for sometime. I'm grateful for all the great advice given here; despite my efforts, I can't find anything directly related to what I'm doing, though.
I have a form that is populated from a query. The query has some calculated fields and some direct selection fields from a couple of tables. One of the direcly selected fields is one that I'm trying to populate from the items in a list box.
On this form, there are two list boxes, List1 and List2. The user makes selections in List1 and clicks a command button, which runs code so that the second list box is populated with the items from List1. This was shown here:
MS Article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnofftalk/html/office03022000.asp)
I actually just used this code and made changes accordingly so that this feature is working perfectly. However, the items in List2 need to be updated into a table's field, and this is where I'm having the problem.
I've got List2 bound to the proper field in the query, and I can manually run that query and make changes in that field fine. What I can't figure out is why I can't get the ItemsData property of the List2 control in there. For ease of code, I've added a line that copies the List2 rowsource variable to another variable so that the values can be used elsewhere. I can't seem to get the field to receive the variable in VBA, and I can't figure out how to get the values back into the query so that the query's source table is updated.
Any clues? Or is this unclear? I'm happy to give any further information. I've been working on this for more than a week, trying different things, and I'm at wits' end.

I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
Thanks,
Lester

Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items
[Code] .....

Hi everyone,
I have been making progress with customizing a
MS Access program, but one major problem is that
I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box
that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I
find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of
values from only the parameter that is primary key.
More specifically, the program is set up as follows:
I have two tables in this program: One that is called
"invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of
these tables, there is one common parameter, which
is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key,
and I used the "relationships" function to tie this
parameter to itself between the two tables.
I was successful in setting up a list-box for the
"Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box
for another parameter that is supposed to display
a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list
of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials.
In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to
take so that the database stores a list of people's initials.
Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each
record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key.
How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of
different people's initials, or in other words how can I get
all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of
initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried
different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the
Design mode of Tables, including Display Control,
Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column,
but the outcome is that the only parameter that I
get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which
is Item Number.
I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how
to correct this.
On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and
on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a
specific date range so that I can limit each report to a
specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I've looked through the previous posts here but can't find what I'm looking for (probably because I can't think of how to phrase it). Basically I've got a text box that allows for entry of the item cost, then a text box called Quantity and another text box that calculates the total cost based on the quantity. Fairly straightforward and works, well sort off anyway.
Basically the text box does not update as soon as the quantity amount has changed. You seem to have to either go out of the form or click on another field.
Any ideas? It's probably simple but it's been driving me nuts now for ages. Any help would be grately appreciated as always.
Cheers

Hi,
I am trying to take text from two different text boxes on a form and place into another text box on the form. I want it to also update the table with this new text.
Example: fname, lname, fullname are text boxes on a form. when user enters fname and lname, I want the two strings/text to be added together and placed in fullname while also updating the table with the fullname text.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
dbnewbie

I have similar text boxes on two different forms. On the first form when I add a value and click the add button it automatically submits that value to the second form. However, on the second form when I select a value and click add, it deletes the previous value given by the first form. I have written code that allows the user to input more than one value on the second form, which works fine.(The previous values do not get deleted) I want to write some code that allows the user to submit a value on the first form, and that value remains on the second form's text box even when the user adds more values on the second form. Also the values are inputted to a table.
One previous suggestions was to put field2=field1 & field 2. However this does not work.
Any suggestions would be a of great help. I am pretty new at Microsoft Access. Thanks for the help

I have two tables and their associated forms. Agent Firm and Agent Person. I have created a one (Agent Firm) to many (Agent Person) relationship because a Firm can have many Persons (not vice versa).
I have also created a combo box autofill so that some of the information from the Agent Firm can be posted on the Agent Person.
Query one: I tried using text for the AutoFirm ID because each firm's name is unique. However, when I tried to see what happened if the firm changed its name, still having a unique value, I was not allowed to. Why? and can I over-rule this? For the time being I have used an autonumber as an ID, but I feel that is inefficient.
Query two: I have set up a combo-box, which works, using the following:
Private Sub cboAgentFirmID_Change()
Me.txtAddress1.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(2)
Me.txtAddress2.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(3)
Me.txtAddress3.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(4)
Me.txtTown.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(5)
Me.txtPostcode.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(6)
End Sub
I originally had a first line Me.txtAgentFirm.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(1) but deleted it because the AgentFirm is being entered in the AgentFirmID box (why??)
AgentFirmID, which is the autonumber primary key (see query 1) in Agent Firm is the link between the two tables in the relationship.
Query three: A major feature should be that if an AgentFirm changes its name, or address, phone number, etc this is reflected immediately across all related entries. And it does not happen: each one has be updated manually.
(Imagine if a bank changed its name and had to alter each account manually!) How do I make it work as I am sure it is meant to?

Hi,
I have two tables, tblCountry and tblLocation. With the following structure
tblCountry
ID
Name
Text
tblLocation
ID
Country_fk
Name
Text
As you can guess tblCountry lists all of the countries, tblLocation lists all of the locations in each country, the tblLocation.Country_fk field is linked to tblCountry.ID.
I want the user to be able to edit [tblLocation].[Text] using a form. They simply select the country and then the location using combo-boxes and then add or edit the content using a textbox.
In my form I have a combo-box that displays the country names, the RowSource is set to
SELECT [tblCountry].[ID], [tblCountry].[Name], FROM tblCountry ORDER BY [Name];
I then have a second combo-box that lists the locations for the selected country. This uses an AfterUpdate() procedure to select [tblLocation].[ID] using an SQL query based on the value of the country combo-box. I.e:
SELECT [tblLocation].[ID],[tblLocation].[Name],[tblLocation].[Text] FROM tblLocation WHERE [Country_fk] = " & Me.country_box.Value & " Order By [Name]"
I want to be able to have a textbox that then displays [tblLocation].[Text] for the selected location. Thats where the problem arises. I can't find a way that will let me display any content thats available for the selected location AND let me edit it. I've tried using UpdateAfter procedures, different bindings (tables, queries based on the value of location combo-box).
Can anyone suggest how I can display [tblLocation].[Text] based on the value of the selected country/location and be able to update the information via a textbox?
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks
Jon

I have a form where I type in the time a person starts a job. The format is Medium Time. I also have a box where I type in the End time for that job. Also formatted in Medium Time. I have another box that is for if a break happens during that job to return the value 10. My formula for that box is: =IIf([Start Time]<"9:00 AM" And [End Time]>"9:10 AM",10,0). The problem that I am having is that it only works when the time is in the 9:00 AM to 9:59 AM time frame. I need it to work where if a person starts at 6:00 AM and gets done at 2:30 PM to return the value of 10.

I have a form that contains a combo box (cboEmployeeName) that pulls data from a query and populates three text boxes (Work Area, Last Name, First Name), This part works fine. Because the text boxes are being populated by the Combo box, they are not bound to the record source tblTrainingSchedule). I need the info that is in the text boxes to populate the respective fields in the record source.
I tested by adding "=tblTrainingSchedule!WorkArea=[cboEmployeeName].Column(3)" (column 3 is the work area) to the "after update" control but it does not populate the data.

hello,
I have a list box and I use this to add stuff to the list. I loop through the recordset to add all the items to the list box i use this:
Me!RecordList.AddItem Item:=rst("id") & ";'" & rst("name") & "'"
This does not work, but if I put this down:
MsgBox rst("name")
Me!RecordList.AddItem Item:=rst("id") & ";'" & rst("name") & "'"
It works, but it brings up the message box for every entry. Anyone know what's wrong and how to get it to work?
This is part of a search, as the user is typing in the search box, for every character he/she hits it searches and displays search results in the list box. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Thanks.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm new to access, but not new to databases in general. I'm having what should be a common problem/question, but I cant seem to find much on it.
For example, I have a standard table, with ID, text and a "yes/no" (lets call them booleans). I've made a query for that table - of only records with the boolean to no.
I have a form which displays the query. If it i put the boolean to yes, it still stays on the list until the form is opened and closed. This could be useful but if I want it to do it right away, what should I do? I didn't see any simple VB or macro command anywhere. Should i script open and close? Use a SQL command to update.
thanks

Im having a problem with a listbox/query/label. My DB is based on one that was posted in the sample database are of this forum. In itself it works really well. Clicking on the labels at the top of the list box applys a sort to the list box, each one of these sorts is based on a query. My porblem is that I want to be able to produce and print a report based on those queries. I know I could put a bunch of buttons on the form and do it that way. Or put a list box with all the my reports in and do it that way. I would prefer though, to have one button with one report reading the information from the different queries depending on what label is selected. Hopefully thats clear, the DB demonstartes it better. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I am struggling to create the "hidden" control. I'm assuming it should be a text box? Where should the code given on the above page go in the text box properties? Do I need to do something to activate the code after selections are made in the list box?

I have an unbound list box with it's row source a query whose select criteria comes from another list box once selected. When the form first opens the list box is empty until the user makes a selection. How do I prevent access from running the query in the first list box when the form first opens. It slows everything down.

I want to be able to specify the site of a disease. I had a combo box with pre-defined options (linked to a LU table) but now i find out there can be multiple disease sites. I changed it to a list box and chose multi-select (extended) but this does not retain the values in the form or record them in a table (even when I use the wizard and tell them what field i want the results in). What am i doing wrong or have I missed the whole gist of what a list box is for? Cannot find anything on line to help me here

Hi,
I am using a combo box in my form. It is a growing combo box allowing new entries to be entered to create a growing list.
When new entries are made to the combo box list they are only displayed when I quit the form and then return to it. Is there any way I could allow the combo box list to grow dynamically rather than having to get the user to quit the form and then return to it?
Many Thanks
