I have a Table with 6 fields, 2 are named Initial and Surname. Is it at all possible to have a combo box on a form with these to fields "joined" with the alphabetical order on the Surname. I understand that using a query will not work as the result is based on an expression
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have created a form with a drop down box so that I can click on a client in the drop down box and it will pull the information from that clients record.. my question is :
Is there a way of having the clients names in the drop down box listed in alphabetical order without it changing the order in my table? My table is listed in order of project numbers not client names.
The main form of our contacts database has its source in a query which places all contacts in alphabetical order by surname. How do I get the query to sort by surname and then by first name? Also, how can I get the query to run each time a new contact is added so they are put into alphabetical order when they are saved, rather than appearing at the end of the list?

Just starting off with access. Is there anyway of getting fields in a drop down menu to be displayed in alphabetical order?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have inserted a bar chart onto a form using a totals query. The query is grouped by days on stock, eg. '0-30', '30-60', '60-90' etc. which is therefore the labels on the x-axis.
The chart displays the correct data, however, the chart automatically displays the categories on the x-axis in alphabetical order... '0-30', '120-180', '30-60' etc.. Is there anyway to adjust this order to be eg. '0-30', '30-60', '60-90' etc?
I have a report that generates 100 items in alphabetical order. All of the items are also displayed in a table. I have a bound form attached to the that table, and when the items appear they are not in alphabetical order. Therefore, it is a hassle typing in the data when the form will not appear in order, because instead of going in order I am flipping through pages. What is causing this to happen? And what can I do to fix this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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

DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM tempList;"

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?
Hello once again,
I am wondering how I can display information on a form that is not of the same record source without using a subform.
Right now, I have a form setup with qryAll as the record source which provides the information to a listbox i have setup on the form. When I select something in this list box, I want to display information related to it from a table based on a CenterID. Is this possible to do? I won't need to edit the values, I just need to display them into a textbox or something.

I have a customer table with an address Column and an Order table with a OrderDate column .
I would like to create a Query that would display the customer address and only the Last order made.
So far I was only able to display the address and and all the Order dates.
Table1 has field (% Completed this Period) that may contain a value, or may be NULL for each entry, depending on how much work was performed that period. The records are sorted by date.
Form1 has a textbox that basically keeps a running tally of "% Completed to Date" by summing the "% Completed this Period" for the current period and all previous periods. So, my Control Source for the textbox is the DSum(...) function.
The problem is this: If I am looking at the first record and there is a 0 (null) value for "% Completed this Period," (i.e. No work was completed that period), I want to display 0 on Form1. However, Access just displays nothing - a blank textbox. I tried making a default value, but nothing will show up since I already have a Control Source set for that field. If I take the DSum function out of the Control Source, then the 0 will show up. But, obviously that defeats the whole purpose of the textbox. I guess I'm trying to figure out how to display the DSum value IF it is something other than 0, BUT IF IT IS 0, then I want 0 to be displayed. Any help would be appreciated.
I have buttons that enable and disable editing/adding information on a continuous form.
When you click add the form then is set to allowadditions and shows you the * record. Is it possible to have that display at the top of the list instead of the bottom? If not, what would be the best method to move the focus to the new record when someone clicks add?
I've got a report displayingg appointments, only issue is that it doesnt display these times or date in order of earliest first...

Access 97 does not display records in their original order of entry in a report or its query whether they are indexed or not. Results

I have created a form and a subform from a table.
Initially I created a table with 11 rows. After completion of my project I added an extra of 480 rows to the main table. But the newly added rows are not coming in my subform.
Attached is my project.
Main : Main table (It consists of around 491 rows)
MForm : Main Form (It shows of only 11 records which I was 1st created)
How to refresh my subform inorder to display all the rows.
In short can I display a field on a form that is not in the forms field list without using a sub-form? I am trying to show a value from a query on this form. I tried this in the control source:
[qry_op500_entry_delta]![countofphone model]
I get an error stating that this is not in my field list for the form.
If the answer is No or if needed I can give more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a form, with a tab control on it. Each tab has a subform to display data. One tab is meant to be a summary tab of the rest, so I want to pull data from certain controls on each of the other tabs to display on the Summary tab.
If I set the ControlSource to Forms!subfrmLABOUR!txtTotalHours.Value the control just displays #Name?
I assume that means it can't reference the ControlSource. Is it just a syntax thing? I've tried various methods, but no luck.
I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?
I have a form F_EXTRACT whose record source is a table named T_EXTRACT.
The form contains 2 controls, a Text Box named Surname and a Combo Box named Member_ID.
Column 1 of the combo box is bound to Member_ID (in the T_EXTRACT table).
Column Count is set to 3.
In Row Source, I have the following SQL statement:-
SELECT [T_MEMBER].[Member_ID], [T_MEMBER].[Surname], [T_MEMBER].[Initials]
FROM T_MEMBER
WHERE ((([T_MEMBER].[Surname])=[Forms]![F_EXTRACT]![Surname]))
ORDER BY [T_MEMBER].[Surname], [T_MEMBER].[Initials];
I wish to populate T_EXTRACT with selected Member_IDs but as the MEMBER_ID table contains many hundreds of records need to reduce the search through the display in the combo box.
The above method (by entering a surname in the Surname text box) works fine for the first entered surname but second and subsequent surname entries result in the details for the first entered surname being displayed in the combo box.
I've tried binding Surname to a field in the F_EXTRACT table but this makes no difference.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Hi all,
I have a form with a combo box on it and what I would like to do is when I click a command button, change the record source of the combo box from the query I currently have to a different one?
Is this possible,
Thanks for your time.
Taff.
Hiya! So, I have a form with a cascading combo-ish type solution. In actuality it's an option group that helps feed a combo-box. The option group, however, is unbound and the two choices represented in it span several choices elsewhere.
The field I'm reducing with a cascading solution is my [ExpenseCode]field. Each [ExpenseCode] is assigned one of 6 [ExpenseType]'s, numbered 0-6. Deductible expenses range from 1-4, non-deductible expenses cover 5, and 0 is used only by the system in the creation of dummy records and is unnecessary to the data-entry form. Using the [ExpenseType] directly would be confusing to the end user but is important to us during aggregation.
I am attempting to use an option group to simply select "Deductible" or "Non-Deductible" from the listed fields and have my combo-box update itself in kind.
The form is: frmExpenseLogsEntry
The option group is: optExpense1 (where Non-Deductible=1 and Deductible=2)
The combo-box in question is: cboExpense
The table with the combo-source is: lkupExpenseCode
The field I'm populating the combo-box with is: ExpenseCodeID
And the qualifying field is: ExpenseTypeID
The SQL I was using for my control source is as follows:
SELECT lkupExpenseCode.ExpenseCodeID,
FROM lkupExpenseCode
WHERE (((lkupExpenseCode.ExpenseTypeID)=IIf([Forms]![frmExpenseLogEntry]![optExpense1]=1,5,Between 1 and 4)));
but Access keeps changing it and erroring. I think I've figured it out enough to know that this type of statement won't work but I'm a bit stuck for an alternate idea.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

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?).

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

Hello.
How can I preserve the user-defined sort order in a column in a table?
Every time I exit the table, and go back, my items have been alphabetically sorted. This results in my Combo Box displaying the list in alphabetical order, rather than my custom order.
Thanks ahead.
