Is It Possible To Select The Same Item Twice Using A MultiSelect List Box
Jun 29, 2007
I would like to be able to create a recipe (saved in its own table) by pulling items from a multiselect list box (from the raw materials table) but which allows me to add the same ingredient more than once.
I work for a chemical manufacturing company and we need to track the cost of goods by recipe (final product), by linking the ingredients (where the cost of the raws are associated) to the final prodcut. Several of our products need to have chemicals added in the beginning, but then again at the end of the procedure unlike normal kitchen recipes.
(I sure hope I don't have to learn VBA . . . I'm totally new at Access!)
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have inherited a database that is used to track equipment that comes in for repair. One of the fields in this database is a memo field that lists the parts that are replaced on a piece of equipment. It has been requested that I leave this field as it is. However, I would like to regulate the data that is entered into to some extent. I need to ensure that there is a comma between every part number listed (there is another group that wants data from this database and they want to be able to separate this field out into individual fields). Is there a way to have Access look at the data in a memo field, find all the periods or ampersands, and replace them with commas?
The other thought I had was to provide the person filling in the database with a multi-select list box that lists all the available part numbers for a given piece of equipment. That person could select as many as she wants and when she was done, the database would take those values, put a comma between each one, and paste them in the memo field. Is that possible? What I have tried isn't working. I tried to get it to loop through the selected items and put them in the memo field, but I just end up with the last value selected instead of all of the items selected.
I don't know what to try next, Either the person entering the data is going to be upset because she has to type every part number in a different field, or the people receiving the data are going to be upset because there isn't a comma between each number.

I have a multi slect list box (simple) and I need to find and select an item using vba - e.g., the bound column is the ID field and I need to select a specific ID (which will be different each time) as opposed to selecting the 100th record for example. How do I do this?

How To Transfer MultipleSelect Item In Listbox to another Listbox ?

I want to select an item in a listbox that has a specified value when I open the form that contains this listbox. Most I've found describes selecting records based on their index value but I want to select an item according to the actual value that's displayed in the listbox. For example, the first number below is the index value, the 2nd is the number I'm interested in and the 3rd is another column in the listbox:
0 1 12345
1 2 33256
2 4 36280
I'm using the OpenArgs property to pass the value (a long integer primary key) to the opening form but I don't know the syntax or correct terminology for ensuring the specified row is selected in the listbox. At present, using the above example, if I want to select the row with the value 2, it's selecting the 3rd row rather than the 2nd.

I've got a form with a multiselect listbox (extended) that holds a very long list of items (~90,000):
1 | Apple
2 | Orange
3 | Banana
...............
35313| Corn cob
...............
The user can select multiple items (non-sequential) on the listbox, say items 1 and 35313. I'd like the listbox to scroll (meaning display) to the currrently selected item, so that the user can see it while being processed.
I've seen stuff about property ListIndex, which does exactly that, but it's only useful when you have just ONE item selected (in a multiselect listbox apparently it deselects the rest of the items, so no point in using it, I guess, unless there's more to it!!).
So the key here is how to do the scrolling/display.
The code to loop through the listbox and process each selected item is attached:
Code:
Dim vItem As Variant
Dim Content as String
For Each vItem In Me.lst.ItemsSelected
'scroll to selected item ???
'processing of the selected item
Content = Me.lst.Column(1, vItem) 'copy the content to do sth with it
Me.lst.Selected(vItem) = False 'unselect the current item
Next vItem 'go to next selected item
how to scroll to the currently selected item? Mind that I need to go through the list of selected items to process them for further use (i.e, I need them selected).

I am using Access XP.
I have a table for experiments - tblexp.
Each experiment can have one or more projects within it. So I have a drop down list of the various projects in a separate table - tblprojref with fields project no (projno) and project title (protitle).
When I am setting up a new experiment I am entering the information into a form. Along with other information that populates the underlying table, I would like to have a multiselect list box which allows me to pick the projects linked to the experiment. These would then either populate the same tblexp or another. I can only achieve this if I am only selecting one project from the list.
How can I get the several items selected into different fields and linked to the one experiment? I am new to this and although have found various threads relating to this they include a lot of code which I don't understand. Is there a step by step easy way to achieve this?

Hi Everyone!
I'm having problems and am frustrated as usual ;)
I'm trying to select a specific row in a listbox in the OnKeyDown event on my form. Basically, while in a subform, I want the enter key to move the focus to the list box, specifically to row After the last selected.
Here's an example of the code I thought would work:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Dim ItemNumber As Integer
ItemNumber = Forms![Product Inventory System]![InvList3] + 1
If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
Forms![Product Inventory System]![InvList3].ItemData(ItemNumber).SetFocus
Else
End If
End Sub
I just started the Atkins diet today, so my sugar and caffiene levels are non-existant. (Seems like an easy excuse, right?)
Can anyone offer any insight into what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you so much!

I have a combo box whose RowSource is set to
SELECT [Part Numbers].[Part Number], [Part Numbers].[Part Description], [Part Numbers].[Supplier Name] FROM [Part Numbers];
When I go to the Properties window and click on '...' to check the results of this query, I see exactly what I expect to. Likewise, clicking on the combo's drop-down arrow displays the data correctly.
However, when the combo box is displayed on it's Form, #Name? is always displayed and, while I can view the items in the list, I am unable to select any of them.
I've got a feeling this is going to be a simple correction, but I can't work out what's wrong and it's bl**dy infuriating.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Have a subform:
Name: frmProjectSub1
Default View: Continuous Forms
A combo box within the subform:
Name: cboProjectName
Control Source: Nothing
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT ProjectName FROM tblProjects WHERE tblProjects.Status LIKE "*" ORDER BY ProjectName;
Column Count: 1
Bound Column: 1
Visible: Yes
Enabled: Yes
Locked: No
Allow AutoCorrect: Yes
Tab Stop: Yes
OnClick Event:
Private Sub cboProjectName_Click()
With Me.frmProjectSub1.Form
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[ProjectName] = " & Me.cboProjectName
If Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Can't find task " & Me.cboProjectName
Else
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
End With
End Sub
Within the continous form, if I name the Control Source as ProjectName, and traverse through the records, the value in the combo box changes to the current selected row.
Problem: In the combo box, I do get the dropdown list of projects, when I click on a project - Nothing Happens! The listbox stays open on the item that I clicked on -- does not close-up and put the selected item in the combobox window. I'm stumped...

hi All..
I could set the Combobox.Value to one of the values in the combo box and combo box displays that value. But when I try to use Combobox.Value subsequently it does not have any value. I noticed that the value property is populated only when the combox box item is manually selected(highlighted).
How can I highlight the selection in a combo box?
Thanks in advance

I have a combo box(drop down box), it uses a select statment to get data.
I want to assign each choices (item) from the combo box to a label's caption.
for exmaple the comobo box has these choices (item)
______________
|drop down box|
apples
pears
grapes
melons
I want to have 4 labels each label will have caption equal to each item in the drop down box so we now have
apples as label 1's caption
pears as labe' 2's caption
grapes as label 3's caption
melons as label 4's caption
how might I be able to do this in VBA?
IS there a way to select an item from a combo box and the set the label's caption equal to that?
Something like:
combobox.item1.value = string1
combobox.item2.value = string2
combobox.item3.value = string3
combobox.item4.value = string4
label1.caption = string1
label2.caption = string2
label3.caption = string3
label4.caption = string4
thanks for any help you might be able to offer

At the moment I have a query that returns a result based on what's selected in a combobox.
SELECT ComponentT.ComponentType AS ComponentType
FROM ComponentT
WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_ComponentNameCmb] & "*"));
Instead of this I want to rewrite the query to return a result based on what the user has selected in a list box of items. How would this query look. Would I need to increment it in a loop checking all entries into the list box as it can vary in size and if so how?
I tried changing the last line to WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_OutputLsb].[ItemsSelected] & "*")); which returned a result just not the right one. Is there something wrong with the syntax?

I have a combo box that won't allow me to select an item. The box is on a subform. When viewing only the subform, it works. When viewing the subform from the main form, it won't work.

So I have this form with a combo box which successfully displays a range of items from which I would like to select from - but unfortunately I cannot. I cannot select anything from the combo box.
I have checked the form and table to ensure I have edit rights - which I do.
The form is based on a query - attached is a picture of the relationships within the query.
I assume I have created a non updateable query but this is only an assumption.
I am lost about the best course of action to take. Is there a way to identify the problem?
Do I just cut my loses and recreate the functionality somehow?

Hi everyone,
I have a form with a field named TREATMENT with the following options :-
1 Cryotherapy
2 Radiotherapy
3 Chemotherapy
4 None
5 Other (specify)
If the 5th option (Other) is selected, the user is required to specify what 'Other' represents.
I have created a combo box with the first 4 options and in instances of 'Other' the user can enter specific treatment that is not in the list (1 to 4).
What I would like to do is whenever the user enters a value that is not on the list (1 to 4), I would like to insert the word OTHER in front of the value entered. In other words all values not on the list will be prefixed by 'OTHER'.
E.G. if 'Surgery' is entered, I would like the value 'OTHER : Surgery' to be stored in the Treatment field of the table.
This will help in the generation of statistics from the table.
Any suggestions??
Many thanks in advance.
Will

Hi,
is there any (reasonably simple) way to select or deselect multiple items from the List Box with individual clicks without using Ctrl key. Eg first click on an item would select it leaving all other items as they are, subsequent click on the already selected item would deselect it etc. I hope this is not too confusing and I would appreciate some help.
Thanks!

I'm currently working on fixing an older 97 database that I've updated to 2010. I have just populated the Drop down box with about three fields. Ideally what I want to do is after having selected the item number from the drop down box I then hit the button that creates a report with the information about that item number.
At the moment...If the box is blank it reports all the item numbers, however if i fill the box(select an item) it returns nothing i.e the report is blank.
I've looked at the query that builds the report, there are only three fields that populate the. location, part number and description. from a tbl called MainDetails
the only other thing:
If([Forms]![frmReports]![FLoc] Is Null,[FUNCTIONAL LOCATION] Is Not Null,[FUNCTIONAL LOCATION] Like [Forms]![frmReports]![FLoc])
it has a criteria of <>False
*FLoc is the drop down box *functional location is the location field.
I believe all the above does is populate the report if Floc is empty.
What can I put to make the report generate what ever I pick in the drop down box 'FLoc' source the three fields from the 'MainDetails table'.
