How To Make Combo Box Display Data Alphabetically
Feb 13, 2015
I have an existing combo box on a form that gives me access to 297 different selections. The problem is that as things have been added to the table it sources they have become out of order alphabetically. At the time of creating the combo box, I don't believe the option to display alphabetically was selected. Can I change the properties of this combo box now so it will display the 297 options alphabetically.
If So............ How?

I am fairly new to VBA, having done no fromal training. I have taught myself quite alot and I am pleased with how i am progressing. I am stuck though!
I am building a booking system for a friends business, all free of charge as I believe it's a good project to get experience in VBA.
The booking form has a 'Date' Combo box, 'Name' Combo box and a 'Time' Combo box. The 'Time' Combo box displays times in 10min intervals from 0600 to 2100, and this data is stored in a table called 'tblTimes'. I need to build a query that checks the main table 'tblBooking', for a selected date chosen in the 'Date' Combo box by the user, to see what times have been used up and thus only display, in the 'Time' Combo box, those times not yet used for that particular datedate.
I am sure, to some of you experts out there, that this is quite a simple query. I looki forward to your input.

My intentions are to get my combo box to display data into a field in my form, when it is changed/selection is made. So far my form has the following:
Combobox: CBOCharacters
Field: CharacterGender
Both of these are in the same table; tbl_Characters. The data type for CBOCharacters is a number and its called CharacterID in the table.
So far I have created this piece of code:
Private Sub CBOCharacters_AfterUpdate()
Me.CharacterGender = DLookup("CharacterGender", "qry_StillNeeded", "[CharacterID]= " & Me.CBOCharacters)
End Sub
When I run this event procedure i get an error:
Runtime error '2471'
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error '[CharacterID]'

I created a subform that displays the records of a select query after selecting the desired data from a single combo box (for instructors name) and then using an OpenQuery macro attached to a button.
Only 1 record is displayed in the subform each time I hit the button. If I look at the query return there is no change. However, if I close the query and select a new instructors name, although I only get one record in the subform, the query when opened shows all the correct records.
What is wrong with my macro/subform?

I'm currently developping a database and in the process of re designing my queries for my users needs. one of these is to be able to search entries of the database determinable by their first letter (e.g. find all customers whose name begins with 'A'). Can anyone help me with how to do this. So far I have managed to create a 'Like' query, so the searches are not case sensitive, but i still need to make it search alphabetically.
Any help, much appreciated

I am trying to figure out how to sort a column in access the same way it comes out in excel.
I have a text list of "buildings" ie: 89, 33, 270C, 270B, 270A etc. In excel this simply sorts alphanumerically ie 33, 89, 270A, 270B, 270C.
I made the mistake of changing the format from text to number, lost all the data and successfully scared myself into not wanting to experiment anymore so any input I could get would be very appreciated

I have a series of subforms that show customer mix percentages by month. These forms will be used for data entry and to ease the process I would like to have months in order of our fiscal calendar, July through June. Right now the months are listed alphabetically. Is there a way I can list the months in order without having to resort to a naming convention such as:
01June
02August
03September
ect.
Thanks

How to make an input mask display more than one character?I'm building a db for work, and multiple (non-IT) people will enter data. Instead of having the input mask for the date field display as ##-###-####, I would like it to display as DD-MMM-YYYY.

I have a report (based on a query)which informs staff of students who withdrew from our school, and the month and date they withdrew (sorted ascending). I am grouping by month and it looks like the attachment I've included.
It works well enough, but what I would really like is for the month column (Month([withdrawldate]) to show January for 1, February for 2, and so on, but I find that when I do that, the months sort alphabetically, and not logically.

Access 2003
Database for tracking job search/applications
I have three tables: Job (includes employer, contact) and Contact (First name, Last name, employer), and Employer (Employer name)
Form.Job is the main data entry mechanism. On this form, I enter the job details. I select the employer from a combo-box that draws from the Employer table. I would like to select the contact from a combo-box that filters contacts and shows only those that match the Job.Employer selection.
:confused: 1. How can I make a bi-directional link so that a new entry in the employer combo-box creates a new entry in the employer table? At the moment, I get around this with a "New employer" button on Form.Job that just opens up the employer table, but there seems to be an updating issue - new names don't show up in the combo-box for a while
:confused: 2. How can I get the contact combo-box to show only contacts with an employer that matches the employer selected in the employer combo-box?
Note that I got this to work once by using a sub-form, but I don't really understand how (presumably Access defaults that did what I wanted), and I don't want to have to use a sub-form.

I have a combo: cmb_TrainingType. The sql is:
Code:
SELECT tblTrainingType.TypeID, tblTrainingType.Type FROM tblTrainingType ORDER BY tblTrainingType.Type;
My second combo (the one that should be filtered based on the Type chosen above) is cmb_Project_Title. The sql I have written (which isn't working) is:
Code:
SELECT tblCourseDetails.CDID, tblCourseDetails.Project_Title FROM tblCourseDetails WHERE (((tblCourseDetails.TypeID)=Forms!frmResourcing.cmb_Training_Type) And ((tblCourseDetails.Type)=Forms!frmResourcing.cmb_Training_Type)) ORDER BY tblCourseDetails.[Project_Title];
Both of the tables that are referenced have the fields TypeID and Type.

Only thing left is a combobox (dropdown) with predefined values. What i want is, as soon you have picked a value from the combobox, save the record and go to the new blank record, the last picked value of that combobox auto appears in the combobox for the new record.

I have a field in a table that I want it to be multivalued. The values are stored in a different table. I tried to do that and it worked fine. But when I wanted to display a pie chart in a report based on a query, the values didn't show up.
Example:
EmployeeName: X
TermenationReasons: 1,2,3 (multivalued field - values stored in a different table)
I though of just changing the field type to a text, and create a combo box in the form that allows me to add multiple values, and appear on the table and the query, and the pie chart too.how to make a multi-valued combo box in a form.

Hey all, I am wondering if there is a way to do this:
Create an Option Group from a list (the Option Group would be most popular responses), and then, using the same control list in a table, have a combo box for the other possible entries?
Whatever is selected, it would be stored to one table to prevent reduncy... This would be strictly to expidite data entry.
Thanks for any replies in advance...

I have combo box # 1 with value list of "OLD" and "NEW" and combo box # 2 with its row source coming from a query. Here's the scenario - A user chooses "OLD" on the first record from combo box # 1 and the code works fine. But when the user chooses "OLD" again on the next record, what code do I write so that combo box # 2 displays a 0?
So to re-itirate, please help me write the code if the item on the list is selected again, the value of the other combo box would display 0?
Please help. Thank you.
