I want to create a combo box on a form where I can choose between 5 company names, and upon my choice, I want a list box or another combo box to display the departments under the company I chose (each company has different departments), and when I choose the department, I want to another combo box to display the limited job titles under that department.
For example: I choose company A > combo box displays the 5 departments under company A (dept.1,2,3,4) I choose dept. 4 > display job titles under dept. 4
I have code attached to a command button to fill a Combo Box with data from a music collection. A letter of the alphabet is entered into a Text Box then records beginning with that letter are copied from a table, either by Artist or Title. They are saved to a temporary table at which time they are in no particular order. Those records are copied to a further table and saved in alphabetical order. This table is then used to fill the Combo Box.
I used two temporary tables because the records were not displayed in the correct order. I hoped this might cure it, it did not. The records are in order in the table but not in the Combo Box.
Code: Private Sub Command68_Click() 'SEARCH AND FILL COMBO BOX On Error GoTo errTrap DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM tempList;"
i have a form based on a table.The key column of the table is a combo box in the form , if i select a particular value in the combo box then i have to diaplay the all the fields in the record on the form automatically based on that particular value.
Ofcourse it is a simple task, but today only i am trying my hand in VB for the first time in my life.... so i find it difficult to find the answer.......
I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate() Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));" End Sub
I would like to write an expression (i presume) to auto fill a text box based on the selection made from a combobox...can anyone help or point me to a tutorial that deals with this??
I'm creating a database for my inventory. For now, my database have two tables namely tblSupplies and tblDetails. I have a main from (frmMain) and a subform (subDetails). On the main form i have a combobox (cboSupplies) and 5 textboxes, the cboSupplies and the five textboxes are unbound. If I select a value in cboSupplies it will populate the rest of the textboxes-OK.
What I want to accomplish is that when I select a value in cboSupplies it will grab all related records from the tblDetails and populate these records on the subform (subDetails).
SuppliesID was used as the link field from mainform to subform but its not working. Please note that SuppliesID field in tblSupplies and tblDetails has a One-to-Many relationships.
I'm working on a wine database (for ages now...). I'm currently struggling getting the following to work. I have a form in which one can select the name and vintage of a wine using a combo box, after which also a picture will be shown of that wine. I have the pictures as attachments in a table. One can then press a button to close this form and go to another form in which one can edit all the details of the selected wine. Problem: I can't get the picture to show.
I have a reasonably simple form with a combo box, a text box, a button and an attachment field in which a picture should show.
I made a query to select the id, name and vintage from the wine table. I couldn't select the attachment field for the pic in the wizard, so I added that myself in the Design View. The Query for the combo box now reads:
Code: SELECT Wijn.Id, Wijn.Naam, Wijn.Vintage, Wijn.Plaatje FROM Wijn ORDER BY Wijn.[Naam], Wijn.[Vintage]; (translation: Naam = name | Plaatje = picture)
It neatly shows name and vintage in the drop down list. Once selected it only shows the name of the wine in the combo box and I use VBA to fill the Text Box with the vintage of the selected wine. The VBA I use is:
Code: Private Sub cmbNaamWijn_Change() Me.txtVintage.Value = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(2) End Sub
All works fine. Also when I pres the button, the wine I selected opens up and can be editted and the select form nicely closes. The only problem is the fact that I cannot get the picture to show!
I inserted an attachment field with the name: attImage. In the VBA code I added the line:
Doesn't work. With debugging I do see it gets the correct value form the table. I get an error message stating "Method or data member not found", so Picture is not available for the attachment object I guess. If I look at what is available, I can't select anything useful. So my next try was adding an image control with the name: ImageWine and the VBA code in the On Change property
Code:
Me.ImageWine.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
results in the following: Run-time error '2220'. Microsoft Access can't open the file '[FilenamePicture]'. Logical in a way I guess, since there's no path in there. I also tried the Bound Object Frame, but that resulted in the same problem as the attachment try described above.
I am designing a contact management system and have hit a bit of a wall. I am farily new to Access so please advise if I am going about this the totally wrong way.
I have three tables; Contacts, Companies, Company_Addresses
Contacts: ContactID (P) CompanyID OfficeName
Companies: CompanyID (P)
Company_Addresses: CompanyID OfficeName (P)
What I want is when adding a contact, to have a drop down list in the CompanyID field showing all the companies in the Companies table, and then in the OfficeName field, have a list of only the offices related to the company selected in the previous field.
I can do the first list, but cant work out how to list only data related to the company selected in the previous field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a form with cascading combo boxes pulling from a table. They work perfectly, no worries. My problem now is if I do not enter information in every combo box (i.e. only two out of four combo boxes), how can I still run the query and get the appropriate information?
For example (these are my combo box titles in order):
Product Type Customer Contract #
I don't want to necessarily look by Contract # all the time, but sometimes just by the general Product and Type to get a larger view. How do I set up expressions/criteria in my query to accurately produce that information? Right now it just produces a blank query table if I don't fill out all the boxes.
I've tried a couple of expressions with "isnull" criteria, but I must be doing it incorrectly.
I am trying to put together a form where employees will be entering maintenance information into my database. One of the requirements for this data is that when they perform repair work on an asset, they have to list a problem, cause and remedy. These are codes that are specific to each asset.
The closest thing I can think of to what I am trying to acheive is the selectors on car search websites. You select a MAKE, and then the MODEL list is narrowed down based on that, then you pick the TRIM, which is narrowed down based on the model selection. I have an Excel spreadsheet of the Assets(Failure Class), Problems, Causes, and Remedies...I'm just not sure how to put this into Access to get the desired output. I have attached a sample of the Excel spreadsheet for illustration.
I believe I'm going to have to put each of the columns in a seperate table and use relationships..but I'm not sure about that.
I have created listbox with one column (contains one column only), now i would like to display all the characters of list item (want scroll bar to listbox).
How do i display all text of list item, I have already fixed Column Widths to max length (22";0.1"). However when scrolling to right, it is going to next blank column of list box, which is created only to change Column Widths property.
I have a form where I have two drop down list box.The first list box is called Transaction_Type. It contains three values: Created, Allocated and Sold
The second list box is called Product_Status. It contains 6 items: Allocated, Produced, Reworked, Shipped, To Be Produced, Unallocated.
I have a products form. When a user created more inventory they will selected in the drop down list create, then a quantity. Then I would like the status of the product to update to "Unallocated".
When the user placed an order but doesn't finish it they will choose the status of the inventory to be allocated so I would like the product status to be updated to allocated automatically.
They other status the user will choose them self and do not need to be linked to each other.
In my vba code I have tried with the OnClick and AfterUpdate sub procedures with the following code.
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Created" Then Me.Product_Status.Value = "Unallocated" End If If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Allocated" Then Me.Product_Status.Value = "Allocated" End If
Yes when i select "created" from the drop down list it does not change product_status to say "unallocated"
i have a database where jobs are entered and the date and times of the jobs are kept in separate Date and Time fields. to enter a date the user uses this method "30 12 05" and to enter a time like this "21.30"
i would like a query that will display the 10 most recent job additions according to their respective date and times. however, it will not be enough simply to view these records in a report.. what would be ideal is if the 10 records are opened.. in their original form format (goto next record...previous...(1/10...5/10) and the fields are editable like in the default job entry form. this is because after a job record has been added, maybe 20 or so minutes later, that record would need to be retreived as the last bits of information for that record will have been established.
how can this be acheived. i am clueless at the moment, so if there is a solution even resembling this scenario that would be ideal. (if a filter is going to be used...it can be either the 'date' or the 'time' fields, ideally though the query would use a combination of the two to retreive a more exact date to filter the records by)
thank you access world for even considering my dilema.
I'm trying to get a listbox to display results of a query that are only related to the current record being viewed.I have a form (setup as a continuous form) that displays a vendor table. I have a query setup to reference what parts a vendor supplies, and I would like those results to be visible on the form. I would use a subform to make this happen, but if I try and drop a subform on the main form, it says it won't do it with a continuous form. So, the listbox. I copied my form, dropped in the subform, and took a copy of the SQL statement. I then took that SQL statement and dropped it on the Row Source of the unbound listbox. I do get a return of Parts and Prices, but its the whole list, not just a list for the currently displayed vendor. My SQL is currently thus:
Code: SELECT tblPrice.[Part Number], tblPrice.Cost, tblPrice.[Price Date], tblPrice.[Bulk Discount], tblVendors.[Vendor Name] FROM tblVendors INNER JOIN tblPrice ON tblVendors.[VendorID] = tblPrice.[VendorID];
I have tried to wrap my head around it, and I'm stuck. GoogleFu has also failed me, as I can't find something quite on point to what I'm doing.
Each company has a director (I choose from a list that's bound to "person" by its ID field)
Each person lives in a city (I choose from a list that's bound to "city" by its ID field)
So:
- a person's city is stored in "person" as the ID of "city", so I only have numbers (1, 2....) - there can be two persons in "person" with the same name (the only thing that differs them is the city they live in)
The problem is:
When I try to choose a director in "company" from a list, it shows me the name, surname and the ID of the city the person lives in, all from the table "person". The trouble is, since there can be two persons/directors with the same name, I really need to see their cities (the real city name, not just its ID). But I still want the city in "person" to be stored as ID of "city".
I attached my database so you can see what I'm writing about.
What I want is for the "Time In" column in the listbox to show the time as hh:mm, just like the other two. The listbox is pointing to the table correctly, as evidenced by all the data showing up, but what floors me is despite the "sign_in" table showing time in all three columns in the desired format of hh:mm, the listbox seems to have its own thoughts about how to display the called data.
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?
I have two combo boxes on the same form bound to a table. I want the contents of the next combo box to change based on the previous combo selection e.g
cboContinent cboCountry Africa Zambia Africa Congo Africa South africa Europe England Europe Holland
If I choose Africa in cboContinent, I want to see only Zambia, South Africa and Congo under cboCountry and if I choose Europe I want to see only England and Holland
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237" If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do: 1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag") 2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool") 3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID. 2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type FROM Order_Type INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).
