ID In Table When Selecting Text From Dropdown-menu
May 9, 2005
Here's my problem:
I got a Table which contains software:
TblSoft:
ID |Software
-------------
1 |Office
2 |Winzip
3 |Etc.
I made a form with a dropdown-menu in which I can select the software and it stores it in another Table named TblPC.
It stores something allright. but not the text. It stores the ID Nr.
How do I get this to work that it puts the text inside the table instead off te ID nr?
I allready tried changing the properties off the listbox but it wouldn't help.
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"
In an Access Project I have a form with a drop down menu linked to a parameter query. How would I set the query parameter to Environ("userName")? Any help would be appreciated.
I was wondering if you knew how to link a checkbox/radio button to a drop down menu? Or if it's even possible in Access.
For example, the form provides two checkboxes/radio button: student or faculty. If someone chooses either one, a drop down menu would appear with the names of the associated members. They can then select the corresponding name. Is this possible in Access? Do you have any other ideas on how I can implement this in Access?
Hello, I have a form which gets it's records from qryCompleted. The form shows all records with selected fields in a list. Each title of the fields is a drop down box which need to update everytime any of the other drop down boxes are updated.
For example, if cmbCompanyName was updated, then all other drop down boxes need to have "select [field] From qry Where [company name] = cmbcompany name".
If cmbcompanyname and cmbregionname is updated, all other boxes need to have "select [field] From qry Where [company name] = cmbcompany name and [region name]=cmbregionname".
and so on and so on.
There's 6 fields that need to have filters on, which i quickly calculated at about "A shitload" of 'if-then-else' statements.
I have an on click event to mail a report which works. I want to change the text to include data from a table.
I changed the code to include the field 'office' from the table 'Checks' but get an error saying 'Object required'.
Code is : Private Sub cmd_mailreport_Click() Dim office As Object Set office = Checks.office DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "checks", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", _ "info@company.com", "", "", office & " Daily Check - " & Date, "Attached is the report for the office", _ True, "" End Sub
I'm developing a form to link a clause to one of a selection of internal documents from drop down boxes (of which there are a lot and hence looking for ways to make it more manageable to find).Now the setup of the internal documents is unfortunately beyond my control (separate SharePoint Libraries, inconsistent fields, you name it they've picked the worst way to do it :P).
I figure the best way to do this is to set up some unbound controls - two drop down (to narrow down location/department), two text boxes (doc code and name) with the idea that it will limit the selection to anything 'like' what is typed in.What I would like is either: How to set the RowSource criteria to only apply if the relevant control is not blank (i.e. if all the boxes are blank, all docs will show; if 'Sales' is selected in department and the user types 'Sales Order Entry' only the Sales Documents relating to order entry will appear)How to add criteria to the RowSource of a dropdown box via VBA (I've created the relevant 'If then ... else' statements but not sure how to add rowsource criteria in VBA)
I currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.
I have a text box. when I right click on this text box, I want to show a popup menu with a shortcut: Shift to another department. when I click this shortcut, I want to execute instructions.
I have a form with bound textboxes used for entering currency values. When the form loads the fields are automatically populated with default values. When the user clicks on one of the fields, I would like to automatically select all of the data in the field, so as new values are entered, the defualt value is overwritten. I imagine that I should use the OnFocus property, but is there a command to highlight the data?
In our database, we have a table called change_log which is to be filled in whenever someone adds/removes columns from a table in the database or modifies column properties.
One of the columns in the change_log table contains the name of the table which was changed. To avoid typos and misspellings, I would like to create a dropdown which displays all table names in the database. Can this be done programmatically?
I want to make a form with the following criteria:-
Has one dropdown list. (like in the picture) Has one table. (like in the picture) When I select an item (for example: Syarikat A Sdn. Bhd.), the table below it (yellow circled), will automatically change data according to the corresponding selected list so that user can edit/add/delete the data in the table.
The issue: I already made the dropdown list and table, but how can I make the number 3 condition.
Hi, 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.

I have some tables with data where in one column the user will choose a status between 30-40 different options. They are choosing this option to show a reason why a trade was pended and not approved immediately. These reasons seem to change frequently and sometimes we no longer want to use an old reason.
I do reporting back several years, so I cannot just 'remove' a reason or it will be removed from the table and I will have blank reasons. When selecting the specific reason, the table takes the dropdown from another table that simply lists every possible reason. I want to know how I can make it so that the reason that is no longer in use remains on that connected table, but when the person entering data clicks the dropdown button, the removed or inactive reason no longer shows up as an option.
Previously I had seen people add a column to the connected table of reasons and use a "yes/no" check box to show if the reason is now Inactive. When you checked YES on inactive, the reason would disappear from the dropdown list. My issue is that I do not know what language or formula to use (or where to use it) so that when I click Inactive = Yes, the reason disappears from the dropdown menu.
Hello, I'm working with SQL and databases in general for the first time, and was wondering: how would I select just the most recent entry for each device? my data looks [roughly] like this:
I have a field on frmOutpatient which is called EpisodeID. I need to populate this field from a selection in a pop-up form.
The pop-up form (frmSelect) is a continuous form with a number of different EpisodeID numbers according to the date the patient was admitted. At the end of each record I want to put a command button (cmdSelect) and when pushed I want this SelectEpisodeID to be transferred to the field on the frmOutpatient.
I'm working on a table which has a country field, but this field may contain a text string consisting of more than one country, eg "France, Belgium, Spain"
I want to run a query against the table to select records for any one country, but not sure how to do this.

So now the tables field have been updated but unfortunately on the form it has not updated into the dropdown i had created containing the options..
Now I have a combo box "cbo_items" and a text box "txt_selectedItems", I want to populate text field with items selected from the combo box, every time i select an item it appears in text box and to be separated with comma, so text box appears like this ( item1, item2, item3), and after finishing the whole thing the result appears in lable "lbl_result" as "total items selected: 3 items".
I am currently developing an app with MS-access. I need two drop boxs on the same form. First is states and second is cities. When user selects one state from the first dropdown box, the second dropdown box will only display the cities that in the selected state. Is that possible by using ms-access??
I must create a database for the company that I work for that covers the maintenance history of our stone crusher plant. In this database I have two dropdown lists. The first one is for the equipment and the second one is for the different types of parts that has to be replaced or fixed.
Not all of the equipment uses all of the listed parts, but some parts are used on more than one type of equipment.
I have already created a database that lists all the equipment and another one that lists all the parts.
What I want to do now is create a Yes/No box for each type of equipment so I can mark which parts is used by which equipment.
Then you must be able to select the type of equipment from a dropdown list and then select from a dropdown list that only has the parts that is used by the piece of equipment.
