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.

What I am trying to do is create a master table which references the every other table.But the primary key references another primary key.I can get the combo box to display all the options, buy shows options already selected for other records.in other words...
I have 4 reference IDs from table A.
(ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4)
Master_Table has a combobox to select between the IDs.
if record 1 has ID_1
Record 2's combobox will show all 4 IDs
If I only have 1 ID that can be put into record 4, it's combobox still
displays all 4 IDs.
What I want is: If ID3 is selected for record 1, it wont be displayed in the comboboxes for the other records.
If I have a Form that is used to populate a Table can I make one field entry dependent upon another?
For example, if I have a field for Discipline (with values such as Mechanical, Electrical, Piping) and another field for Equipment Type (with values such as Motor, Gearbox, etc) can I set up the Form so that when I select Electrical for the Discipline, only electrical items (such as Motor) are available to select for the Equipment Type field?
Using the table below as an example, if I select Electrical for the Discipline field in my Form, when I go to select a value for the Equipment Type field the drop down shows only Motor and Fan?
Discipline
Equipment Type
Electrical
Motor
Electrical
Fan
Mechanical
Gearbox
Mechanical
Pump
Piping
DN 150 Pipe
Or, better still, can I set it up so that if I select Motor for the Equipment Type field, the Discipline field will automatically be populated with Electrical?
I have a database of purchase orders
Many of the purchase orders have a revision No against them, eg:-
Purchase Order No / Line No / Revision No / Value
1001 / 001 / 00 / £50
1001 / 001 / 01 / £100
1001 / 001 / 02 / £200
I am trying to find a way to write a query that will show me the actual value of the final revised value of each Purchase order line ie: the answer to above is
1001 / 001 / 02 / £200
Could anyone please help?
The guy who created this cluster of a database no longer works here. There is a section in it that has a user select an option (0-30) then click a button. When that button is clicked it runs a series of queries based on the selection. Each selection chosen takes 90 minutes to update. I am looking to see if there is any way to do the same in less time. Additionally.. I am having to select 1, click the button, wait 90 minutes. select 2, click the button, wait 90 minutes. select 3, click the button, wait 90 minutes.... and so on. Therefore I am also trying to come up with a way to have to have a button that will do selections 1-10 all in one run.
Code:
Private Sub btn_download_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btn_download_Click

I have a form in which you can select a year from a combo box in a subform. I want to create a query to be a subform which uses that combo box to select the year between 1/1/Year and 1/31/Year OR between 12/1/Year and 12/31/Year. The year combo box is in the sub form called YearSubForm and is called Yearcmb. I used Between #01-01-2010# And #01-31-2010# Or Between #12-01-2010# And #12-31-2010# in the query view as a criteria when I wanted 2010, but I want the year from the combo box.
Also, in the form I have a subform that is located on top of a text box. I was wondering how I can have the text box show over the subform. I tried 'send to front' but that did not work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am designing a form based on specific criteria from a table. I have one table "country/region" showing: Country, Region, and then primary numeric ID. I have another table called "contacts" with more info. What I am looking to do is create two combo boxes on the form, one for country and the other for region which will pull from the "country/region" table and feed into the "contacts" table". When the user writes in the specific country, the corresponding region in the combo box next to it should update automatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI thought that my previous request on how to create a dependent combobox based on selections from two previous comboboxes, but the example provided only worked if the fields were all in the same table. Here is an explanation of my problem...I have 3 tables:

-fruit
-vegetable
Color
green
red
yellow
FoodName
apple
banana
cabbage
green beans
kiwi

I have 3 comboboxes on a form: cboFoodType, cboColor, cboFoodName.I would like to filter the value lists in cboFoodName based on the selections from cboFoodType and cboColor.For example, if I select "fruit" from cboFoodType and "red" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFood Name to consist of "apple;raspberries;strawberries".Likewise, if I select "vegetable" from cboFoodType and "green" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFoodName to consist of "cabbage;green beans;lettuce;spinach".
I have dependent combo boxes which is working fine what i want is to select the value from the list and the text box should be filled in my case it is attachment field i want to fill up the value based on combo boxes selection.I have attached the database also.

The database I'm working on stores product records. To support the user narrow down which product they want to use, the navigation form has a listbox that looks to several combox values to filter the records it displays. As the user selects values for additional comboxes, the list of products from the listbox is refined. What I would like to do is set the comboxes up so that they also have to check the listbox to determine which records they should display.
For example:
Comboxes: Customer, Species
Starting out the listbox shows all products. The user wants to find a particular product that is sold to "Harly Quinn's Crab Imporium". They select "Harly Quinn's Crab Imporium" from the customer combobox. The listbox updates to show only products sold to Harly Quinn. The database currently has this functionality. What I want to add comes next:
The user determines that there are still too many records being displayed in the listbox, so he/she attempts to refine the search further by selecting a species from the species combobox. Currently all species from the species table are selectable from the species combobx, meaning that if the user selects a species that isn't sold to Harly Quinn, that the listbox will show no records. What I would like the combobox to do is refer first to the listbox and determine which species are still viable options based on the records available from the listbox.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with a combo box on a form with the following query. It works exactly as it should, but unfortunatly, I need a little more.
cboASC is off a table, cboQCode is from values, If I don't fill 1 of the combo boxes I get a blank record (just fields).
What I need is an option to choose all Primary Locators and/or all Qcodes for a general report instead of a local report.
SELECT CallsEntered.[Work Order Nbr], CallsEntered.[Date Entered], CallsEntered.[Time Entered], CallsEntered.[Primary Locator Code] AS [ASC], CallsEntered.Headend, CallsEntered.Node, CallsEntered.[Grid Id], CallsEntered.[Q Code], CallsEntered.[Problem Code 01], CallsEntered.[Primary Finding Code], CallsEntered.[Primary Solution Code], CallsEntered.[Cancel Code], CallsEntered.[Scheduled Date], CallsEntered.[Wo Status], CallsEntered.[Date CheckIn], CallsEntered.[Assigned Installer], Calendar.Week, Calendar.Year

I just added a column to my table upon which a cascading combo box is built. When a name is selected from the combo box, 2 related fields populate. I want it now to populate a 3rd field. So I added the column to the table to input the data into that 3rd field, and adjusted the column widths and count in the combo box. However, when I indicate the control source of the 3rd field as the corresponding new column from the combo box, nothing populates in my 3rd field. I've tested it by designating one of the previuosly exisiting combo box columns and it will populate the data, but it seems to not be recognising my new column. I've also verified the properties of the new field to ensure that it is visible. What went wrong?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form with two cascading combo boxes. The options available in the second box depend on what is selected from the first.
Some of the selections which can be made in the first box do not have any options to be selected in the second box and so it currently just pops down empty.
Is there a way that I can make the second box "greyed out" if there are no options for it?
Thanks,
Gary
I am building a form to collect information from my employees. In one combo box they select what type of item "item A" out of 13 choices. I want the next combo box to only display only the "item A" choices (or B, C, D, etc.) when item A is selected in the first box. I have one table that lists all of the 13 items and then 13 individual tables for the different choices for each of the 13 items. I cannot figure out how to make the control value for the second combo box dependent on the first combo box. Maybe there is an easier way to do it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just learned about Access 2007 since two days ago. I was assigned to do a database on the competency test records for my company.
I currently have 2 tables: tblCompetencyRecord and tblSections.
In tblSections, I have sectionname and sectionhead. PK is the sectionname.
I created a form from tblCompetencyRecord.
I have employee name, employee number, position, section, section head, test period, status and remarks on my form (like wise in my tblCR).
Now, I want to get Section field (combo box) to auto fill the Section Head field. I've searched high n low (i think), but i just couldn't figure it out.

I'm trying to use a cascading combo box to filter the options that can be entered into a second combo box.
In frmBabies, a Mode of Delivery is selected from 8 options. 4 of these are "normal" deliveries and 4 are caesarean sections.
A second combo box selects the Indication for Operative Delivery. The table tblIndOpDel contains options for normal as well as caesareans. I would like to filter the indications so that the user cannot enter an indication for normal delivery for a caesarean section.
Both tblIndOpDel and tblDelMode have a foreign key to tblDelModeCat, which categories deliveries as normal or caesarean.
I'm stuck on how to proceed from here. Sample database attached.
I am new to MS Access. So I am making a database for an automobile warehouse. When a new car arrives at the warehouse, it is allocated a specific parking slot (using a combo box available on the 'New Arriving Car' form).
However, once a specific slot has been allotted, the end-user should not be able to allot the same parking slot to other arriving cars, until the original car has left the warehouse so that the parking slot becomes available once again. Currently, the parking slot combo box shows all parking slots whereas it is supposed to display only unoccupied parking slots. How can I enforce this? (Note that there is a separate form called 'Exiting Car', which is filled when a car is leaving the warehouse).
Fyi, each car is referred to by a unique 17 digit code - so this is the primary key. Also, there are 120 parking slots available in all, with the slot identifiers ranging from A1, A2...A12 to J1, J2..J12 (10 x 12 = 120).
I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
Is it possible when choosing a combo box to have it make a text box visible, when in this text boxes properties you've chosen visible=NO. Can an event procedure or some code be written that will make visible=YES.
Thanks any help with be greatly appreciated
