Link 2 Combo Boxes
Oct 11, 2005
Hi,
I'm trying to link 2 combo boxes, so that the values displayed in the second combo are dependant on what is selected in the first combo.
I've referred to previous posts, in particular http://forums.aspfree.com/t32756/s.html&highlight=linking+combo, but I'm having the same problem...
The Row Source for my first combo reads as:
SELECT tblGroup.Group FROM tblGroup;
The Row Source for my second combo reads as:
SELECT [tblPart].[Group], [tblPart].[PartNo] FROM [tblPart] WHERE ((([tblPart].[Group])=[Forms]![frmQuotations]![qryEquipment subform].Form![cboGroup]));
I also have this code under the first combo's after_update event:
Private Sub cboGroup_AfterUpdate()
cboPartID.Requery
Me.cboPartID.SetFocus
End Sub
However, this brings up the 'Enter Parameter Value' msgbox asking for the cboGroup value.
Can anyone suggest anything I could be doing wrong?
Also, can someone confirm where I would find the subform's name...? Strange question I know, but I did not create this database, and under the subforms properties there isn't a field that specifically says 'Name'. Record source is 'qryEquipment', and caption is 'qryEquipment subform'. The form is also called 'qryEquipment subform' under the Forms tab.
Thanks in advance!

I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.
In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".
Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:
Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.

I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts
2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators
3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports
5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource
8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry
9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory
10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators
12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
SELECT AircraftOperators.RegistrationNumber, AircraftOperators.PassengersNumber, AircraftOperators.ManufactureYear, AircraftOperators.EmailToOperator, AircraftOperators.ExteriorPhoto, AircraftOperators.InteriorPhoto, tblListOfAircraftOperators.OpratorName, tblAircrafts.AircraftType
FROM tblAircrafts INNER JOIN (tblAirports INNER JOIN (AircraftOperators INNER JOIN tblListOfAircraftOperators ON AircraftOperators.CompanyName =
[code]....

Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)

there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.

I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change()
Me.Requery
Me.cboCourseName.Requery
Me.Check178.Requery
End Sub
[code]...

I have a database where new products are entered into it. Over time there are revisions that are made to these products and to capture this, a drop down box has been added that allows the user inputting the product to select the current revision number of this product.I also have another form which shows the product serial numbers, and then a bunch of fields relating to revision numbers (a check box for each), this can be used by field technicians who can locate older models and tick off a revision when they have updated a product to this specification.
What I am hoping to do is that when the user initially enters in a product and selects the revision number of it, the other form will automatically update (the check boxes) up to and including this revision... so for example if a product is being entered and is up to revision 5 - the check boxes under this serial number on the 'revision' form will all be checked automatically (Revision 1, Revision 2, Revision 3, Revision 4, and Revision 5 check boxes).

Another quick request:
What would the code be for a button which clears the contents of a text box or a combo box on a form?
Many thanks,

Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!

I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D

Hi everyone,
I have been making progress with customizing a
MS Access program, but one major problem is that
I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box
that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I
find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of
values from only the parameter that is primary key.
More specifically, the program is set up as follows:
I have two tables in this program: One that is called
"invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of
these tables, there is one common parameter, which
is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key,
and I used the "relationships" function to tie this
parameter to itself between the two tables.
I was successful in setting up a list-box for the
"Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box
for another parameter that is supposed to display
a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list
of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials.
In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to
take so that the database stores a list of people's initials.
Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each
record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key.
How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of
different people's initials, or in other words how can I get
all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of
initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried
different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the
Design mode of Tables, including Display Control,
Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column,
but the outcome is that the only parameter that I
get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which
is Item Number.
I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how
to correct this.
On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and
on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a
specific date range so that I can limit each report to a
specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well.
Thanks.

Hi there, I am new to access and this question be a no brainer for you access gurus. What I currently have is a form with one combo box and two radio buttons.
Staff and Status
The staff combo box is a drop down menu of all staff members and is derived from a table called Employees. The two radio buttons represent "Active" and "Inactive".
So if John Smith is selected their current status will be shown on the radio button and the user can change it if they want to.
The problem I am having is linking the radio button to a name in the combo box. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey all,
I am trying to link a option group to a combo box. The combo box has a list of employee names. The option group has two options Active and Inactive. All I want the user to be able to do is check the current status of an employee (as active or inactive) and to be able to change their status. I am having some troubles linking the two together.
Thanks

On my data entry Form, I have a Combo Box [Condition] and five tab controls. Each tab has as many as 10 controls on it. The purpose of the Form is to populate a table. My questions are:
1) Do I still need to use a subform on each Tab or leave them as-is? i.e. the 10 controls are on each tab
2) How do I make the value of [Condition] transfer focus to the appropriate tab??

This is my first attempt with cascading combo boxes (2) and with the help of the forum I've made it work BUT, I feel like an idiot because I'm drawing a complete blank on how to link them back to a "main" data table.
The example I used as a reference was to create them as unbound boxes while using queries to pull for each of the combo boxes. I have 4 tables. One will serve as the main table while 3 others are each feeding one of the combo boxes. I went back and set the main table as the record source and added some of the other fields but those unbound fields have me stumped.
If anyone recognizes an earlier post that clarifies this, please let me know. I've looked through numerous posts but haven't found one yet.
Just like everyone else, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a bit of a problem with linking a text box to a ComboBox. I have an employee name in a field [EmployeeName] that sits in the Header of a Form. (This is so I can show multiple records for that employee without having their name repeated at each one). I also have the name of contact [ContactName] that sits in the Detail area of the form.Both names come from their own tables that have all their contact numbers and e-mail addresses in columns I have linked the name to text boxes [ContactPhone] & [EmployeePhone] with their relevant phone numbers in within the Detail area of the form.
The ContactPhone that has the ContactName within the Details part of the form works well with no problems by putting =[ContactName].Column(1) in the Control Source
However when I put =[EmployeeName].Column(1) in the relevant Control Source (and / or EmployeeEMail in a second text box), once I have saved the form in Design view and returned to Form view, Access crashes and shuts down!If I remove the wording from the control source Access doesn't crash.

hi
I have a cascading combo box on a form where by you can first select a supplier of a part and then a part from that supplier. (Attached is a pic of my structure). Next I want to be able to create a record of a "complaint report" for that part in the combo box... (see structure). Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Rob

I have read the cascading combo box solution and would like to know if this would help me with my specific solution.
I have a subform that is used to populate a table which is later used to cost each row by linking to a costing table (see later).
3 off the columns in this form have been set up as combo boxes e.g.
(1)Supplier/(2)Product type/(3)Product 2 is dependant on 1 and 3 is dependant on 1 & 2
These combo boxes currently refer to my costing table to ensure that the user can only enter a combination that is in this table so that when I compare the data entered in my subform table these combinations will be present in the costing table.
I get the 2nd combo box to show only the product types available for the selected supplier by afterupdate me![Product type]requery on the 1st combo box
The 3rd combo box is dependant on both 1 & 2 so I have applied afterupdate me![product]requery which has filters in the query as follows
Forms![subform]![Supplier]
Forms![subform]![Product type]
This seems to work ok when entering data initially into the form which places it directly into my table
The problem I have is when someone later goes into a record and changes combo box 1 and the data in combo 2 & 3 may now not be an option so how can I force them to go and re-visit these filed before exiting the form?
The second problem is if they go to the next record in the form and select the 3rd combo box to edit the field the qry does not show the correct option and shows the ones for the previous row?
Any suggestions please..

I have a Order form that i would like to use combo boxes when adding details records to the order. For example, my list of products is very long, each product belongs to a Series(category) I would like to create two combo boxes when placing an order. First one to select series, then another one to select product. I would like the product combo box to show only those products related to the series. Seems like a simple task but i am having so much trouble. I tried looking at the Northwind db because it has categories and products but in their order form their combo box just list products and there is no example like the one i want to do. Can anyone help?
