I am working a new solution that I figured I would try, I am normally a web based data man. I have worked with a lot of SQL and server side code, but to be honest, I have never really used Access in depth. And so I am facing some problems, that I know are possible, but I am not sure on the syntax or method of doing it. Perhaps I could get some good help:D
Simple example: I have 1 combo box on a form populated with a query, I want to be able to when that cb's data has been selected to populated another list based off of what was selected. How do I accomplish this? Thanks for any help!
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 have created a database for tech calls that come into my office.
I have created two tables with information i need on my form
table 1 = Office Location ID and Office Location (ie Chicago and other towns) table 2 = Employee ID, Employee, and Employee Location Code (ie Chicago = 1)
I have created a form with the fields that i need to record all the data.
What i want to do is create a Combo box for office location and place the 3 office locations via a field list. I then want to setup another combo box that would display only the employees that are part of the office location that was selected in the previous combo box.
If anyone could assist me in this it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm creating a database to assist with the sales operations of a hat shop. I have a form for creating new orders called 'Invoice' where the order number and date is set. Within this form is a subform called 'Invoice_Order' (Continuous layout), this form is used for assigning order items to an order number. Within the subform there are two combo boxes which search the Stock table.
1st ComboBox- diplays hat styles (E.g- v1/v2/v3/v4...)
Problem is; different hat styles are available in different colours based on the material used. I would like the second CoboBox to display a list of colours depending on the style of hat chosen. At present i can only get it to display a list of colours for all hat styles.
Does that make sense? Any help would be most appreciated
I am creating an orders form based of a query that has joined an orders query and a customer query. What I want is in the order form when a Customer is selected then the address & contact information is automaticly populated in following text boxes.
I am facing a problem. i am very amateur at access. I want to design a form on which there is one combo box and one command button. If i made a selection from the combo box and clik on command button it should show all the details related to that particular selection (say Shop Order) on a report. I dont know how to link this things.
report may be like.. Shop Order Description Length Width Hight.. Ax12 xxxxxx xxx xxx xxx Ax 12 for a particular shop order selection there may be no. of parts that should show on. like an assembly thing. Suppose Shop order for a bag is A23 and its different parts are belt and chain... now SHOP Order description ...... A23 belt A23 Chain...
i hope i described my problem.. please do help if you can.. Thank you Hemendra
I need to select information from different combo boxes. Using a command button, i would then like the information transferred onto a list box.
I have so far managed to link all my combo boxes so the result comes out on a list box. if one combo box is left blank, i get no information in the list box. is there a simple way of doing this.
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'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:
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
Help! I'm designing a database for my A level project at college and I just can't get this one section to work. I've spent alot of time linking things up so that you can't double book one of 4 rooms. It's a booking system for a recording studio. The thing is I have 3 basic packages of equipment and you can only choose one for each booking. The price is diplayed at the bottom of each package. I want to be able to check a box and then I want this price to be added to total price. I cannot link update queries to a check box I've tried every songle way I know. I'm not too familiar with access either :S. One more thing, I want to be able to tick a box which says Discount and then I want this to update the total price field again so it is multiplied by 0.9. I have manage to figure this out in an update query and it is also based on the fact that a band has made a deposit that is bigger than £0.00. I just cannot link it to the form.
If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated, I'm panicking too much over this project.
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.
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
Is it possible to link two combo boxes together e.g. i have combo box 1 with a list of products and combo box 2 with a list of each of the products corresponding product codes. basically if a select a product e.g. football from combo box 1 i want the footballs product code e.g. 001 to be displayed in combo box 2. i hope that makes sense, can any one help, thanks.
Hi. I have created a database for an old office filing system in work. There are 2 tables – Files & File Contents. Table ‘Files’ has 5 fields: ID; Number (e.g. 1/03); Title; Status (e.g. Live/Closed – created a list on the relevant form using the Lookup wizard when creating the table) and Referenced To – at some point in the future all these files will be closed and this last field will show what all future correspondence is filed on. Table ‘File Contents’ basically lists all correspondence on every file. But, some of the files have categories exclusive to them. In the form ‘File Contents’ if someone was inputting new correspondence I would like the category lists to show just the relevant category for that file, i.e. if File 1/03 Training is selected then the 3 Training Categories will show and if File 5/03 is selected then the 2 categories relevant to it are shown. But I don’t know how to do that….. Should I create new tables for each of the ‘Files’ showing the categories or would one category table do? I would be grateful of any help/advice you can give me. Thanks. Philip
I currently have a form with a drop-down combo box that is used as a tool for selecting an employee's last name. After selecting a name, the text boxes below the combo box are updated to match up with the selected name.
However, I am trying to get the employee images to do the same thing, but it's not working. The employee photos are currently "Bound Object Frame" items. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a text box on a subform that I want to use to control a combo box on the main form - I know it's not how things should be done but I've no choice - these are my instructions. I'm using Access 2000.
The text box displays a short data in dd/mm/yyyy format and when data is entered into it, it populates a field in Table 1. The combo box displays all the months of the year which it obtains from another table which only has months in it. The combo box properties have Limit to List set to Yes. Once a Month is selected, it populates the month onto another Table, Table 2. The months have all been assigned with a numeric identifier (i.e. 1 for January and so on) but only the name of the month appears in the combo box.
What I have to do is have the combo box update the month it displays based on the short date in the text box. I've tried the After Update event on the text box to no avail. The code I tried there that didn't work was:
Quote:
Private Sub txtDate1_After Update Me!txtDate1 = Me!cmbMonth End Sub
I've tried similar code in the On Enter even for the combo box and this too failed. I've also tried switching off the Limit to List property of the combo box and this didn't work either.
I've also tried to set the combo box so that it links to the exact same fields as the text box and while this did work, all it did was have the date be displayed in the combo box in short date format and not as the name of the month.
I'm struggling to understand if this update is even possible. Can a combo box that has a Row Source limited to options in one table which it then updates onto a field in another table be controlled by just part of the date from a text box?
