I use the call back function to generate my list of reports in a list box.
I chose to use this method as it seems like an easy way to do what I want, and to a certain extent understand how it works.
What I would really like to be able to do, is have it filter the list of reports.
For example, some reports are for me working behind the scenes, and also so many are subreports that go in to the main report so dont need listing.
I would like to have a report names 'Clients Full Report', 'Clients Medication Report' etc on the list (I dont mind changing report names as I think that will be the key to making it work) So many of my sub reports have client in its name, so if a report could be named '1Clients Main Report' and the code looks for the number 1 and removes the 1 from the list so it displays Clients Main Report on the list.
So its just a way to make the list box only include specific reports based on a number.
I've finally figured out how to populate my list box with radio buttons (3 companys listed on the radio buttons, you click one and employees for that particular company populates the list box). Now I'm trying to figure out how to click on an employee in that box and have their contact information populate the subform that holds that info.
After trying unsuccesfully with VB, I considered using a macro that would open the subform where the Last Name = the Last Name clicked in the list box, but I couldn't figure that out (couldn't figure out what the name would be for the selection in the list box) but I would prefer the subform be there permanantly in "add" mode untill a selection is made in the list box.
I'm code ignorant and rely on google and what books I have for reference / copy-past.....any ideas?

I have a list box which gets it's data from a query. I would like to filter this query to show only those rows matching a value displayed on the form.
The form displays data from a table and has a text box named PIDLocal.
The query returns a list of PID values and some text SELECT PID, Country, RefCode FROM Query1 The PIDs are integers.
I want the list box to contain only those rows where PID = PIDLocal.
I have tried setting the criteria in the row source query to PID = [Forms]![Show_Details]![PIDLocal], but nothing is returned. If I 'hard-code' a value (eg PID=247) I get the desired result.
Hi, I need help on my search command. I am hoping to be able to use a combo box or a list box coming from a table as my criteria to use to filter records from a form and present it a subform/subreport upon clicking the command button. Ideally I should have a form wherein I will have a either a combo box or list box for my criteria, a subform/subreport, and a command button. When I select a particular item on the combo box or list box and I click the command button, the subform/subreport would show me records matching only the particular criteria I selected.
I tried using several approach but it's not working, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help me, I am just learning how to do this all by myself.
First Approach: I tried using a list box to list all the countries I have available from the country table and a command button so when I select a country from the list box and click on the command button I will be able to show on a datasheet view only records matching the country criteria. This is the code I used: __________________________________________________ _______________ Private Sub Preview_Click()
End Sub __________________________________________________ _______________ But everytime I click on the command button Preview, I am always asked to enter parmeter value then when I type the country that's when it shows the record in forms format matching the criteria country but when I dont type anything and click ok, it just shows a blank form and indicates it's filtered but no record is showing. But I click cancel, it shows a Run-time error '2501'. why does it still have to make me type the parameter if I have selected it on the list box already?
Second Approach: On the form: I used a combo box, a subform/subreport and a command button. On the combo box I have to show different countries available on my country table. on the subform/subreport I have used my a form created from a query. I want to select from the combo box a particular country and used it as my criteria to filter the records I have on my subform when I click on the search command button. I tried following the sample given by gromit but it doesn't want to work on my database.
This is the code I followed: __________________________________________________ _______________ Private Sub btnClear_Click() Dim intIndex As Integer Me.cmbCountry = 0
End Sub
Private Sub btnsearch_Click() Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM qrybycountry" & BuildFilter
Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Requery
End Sub
Private Function BuildFilter() As Variant Dim varWhere As Variant
varWhere = Null ' Main filter
'Check if there is a filter to return... If IsNull(varWhere) Then varWhere = "" Else varWhere = "WHERE " & varWhere
' strip off last "AND" in the filter If Right(varWhere, 5) = " AND " Then varWhere = Left(varWhere, Len(varWhere) - 5) End If End If
BuildFilter = varWhere
End Function __________________________________________________ _______________ After selecting on the combo box and click on the command button it just shows all record. It doesn't seem like it is reading what I selected from the combo box as my criteria to filter the records. What could be I be doing wrong? Honestly, I dont understand what is happening to the code here especially the BuildFilter function.
Please help me, I would really want to figure this problem out. Thank you so much.
I have a combo box on a form which has a row source type of Value List in which I've manually typed in 2 entries: Owned, Leased.
I have a query which filters on the results of the combobox, and works fine for when I select either option Owned or Leased.
Is there an easy way to filter all (both Owned & Leased)? I've tried leaving the combobox blank, and tried entering a * in the value list, but they both return no results.
Code:
SELECT Assets.* FROM Assets WHERE (((Assets.Possession)=[Forms]![Home]![Combo56]));
I am using a form in which i am filtering the results in the list box based on the textbox value. I am dynamically switching 3 row sources for the list box.
My Need is that the results produced in the listbox should get filtered again when typing in the second text box i.e based o the country name.
I'm trying to write a DB to record lab results within a specification limit, and run a report to print the results on a certificate based on an automatically generated batch sample number.
In tables I've managed to get a drop-down list for the 'product type', and another for a list of the tests associated (multiples allowed) with that particular type fluid type. What I'd then like to do is add result/values for each of the tick boxes selected. Currently I just get a list of the tick boxes selected.
Currently I have:
Name (select from other table) Fluid Type (select fluid 1 to 5 from another table) Test (test 1, test 2, test 3, test 4... ...test 8) this is where I can select multiples from tick boxes
I'd then like to type a result for (e.g.) test 1, test 4, test 6 or whatever tick box was selected. Is this possible??
I realise a workaround would be to list all the possible tests as columns and just fill in the relevant column.
Better still would be to select a fluid type, and this opens another form with minimum and maximum allowed values, where I could enter the data - can I do this and keep unique IDs for each sample?
My database is centered on a main form where users select pieces of information from ComboBoxes (primarily) and submit.
The first part of the form, they must choose from a list of our clients, which is a table with with roughly 5000 rows.
Later on in the form, they must choose a contact person from that client. While Client's may have several contact names (which need to be stored in a table), only one name is necessary for the form portion.
How can I make this Contact Person ComboBox only load names attached to the specific Client selected above?
As it stands right now, the Client List has its own table (along with additional information), and Contact Name is a separate Table with a look up field of Client List.
I am trying to setup a button that will open a report on click. The catch is that the report name is coming from a query result that is populated into a list box. The way it works the list box will never have more than one result so by default it will always house the name of the report appropriate to a chosen client. I would like to do it this way so that I don't have to clutter up the from with extra buttons all pointing to specific reports.
I found some references to this in this forum, including the example listed below, but I have been unsucessful in making work so I assume that I am entering wrong, entering it the wrong place or maybe the code is incomplete. Unfortunately I am a complete novice to Access VBA so I am still learning how it all works together.
List box name is BillingFormat
The first of 5 reports is named Standard Billing
So in the form I enter the client number and BillingFormat is auto populated with Standard Billing
I tied the button to this code: DoCmd.OpenReport Me.BillingFormat, acPreview
The results I was looking for was for the report named Standard Billing would open. The first way I set it up nothing happened not even any errors. The other way threw an error stating it did not recognize DoCmd as a valid function.
I currently have a form that only shows data based on a specific record id. I have placed a list into that form though that has multiple record ID's listed ( It's a log). How do I get a List to Filter to just the Record ID that corresponds to the current form Record.
What I have are as follows:
A form that has client information : Address, phone numbers, Etc.
On that form I have Pages. one of the pages contains a List.
That List however contains information from multiple clients based on Point of Contact ( Call Log)
What I want is a way to narrow the List to only show those that corresponds to the Current Client Record.
Is this possible? If my approach is wrong, which is a better way?
I have three linked tables [Regulator], [RuleBook] and [Rules] (each has a corresponding form for data entry).
In the "Rules" form, when you select name of the regulator, the rule books dropdown down is filtered to show only the rulebooks for that regulator. the code I use is:
Private Sub Regulator_Change() Me.[Rule Book].RowSource = "SELECT [ID],[Rule Book],[Short Code],[Regulator],[RegName],[Short Form],[Active] FROM" & _ " [RuleBook] WHERE Regulator = " & _ Me.Regulator Me.[ShortReg] = Me.Regulator.Column(3) End Sub
Basically, if I select the FSA as the regulator, The Rule Books drop down is filtered to only show the FSA Rule Books. If I pick OFT, I get the OFT list etc. This all works fine.
In the [RuleBook] table, each entry has a yes/no tick box called "Active".
The reason for this being that the regulators change their rule books quite regularly, but from an audit perspective, I can't delete or overwrite the old ones once they are no longer valid.
What I want to do, is further filter the rule book list to those where Active=True so that when I select FSA, I can only choose from their current rule books and not the ones that are no longer relevant.
I've made a form with companies. There's a linked sub-formed with orders for each company. These forms work perfectly using a combo box to determine each company. I've also made a report to print each company's orders. It's loaded by a command button , but the problem is that I'd like to open the report, filtered in such way to show only the orders from the company selected in the combobox of the main form. What is the code I have to use and where, in order to achieve this? In other words, how can I use the value of a combo box in a form in order to show specific records in a report? Thank you in advance
I am using this code to filter a List Box based on a Date range and a Combo Box selection:
Code: Private Sub Combo139_AfterUpdate() Dim StrgSQL As String StrgSQL = "SELECT [User Name], [Date Of Request], [Description of Problem], Status, Sub_Job FROM QRY_SearchAll " & _ "WHERE [Date of request] BETWEEN #" & CDate(Me.txtStartDate) & _ "# AND #" & CDate(Me.txtEndDate) & "#;" StrgSQL = StrgSQL & " WHERE Sub_Job = Combo139" Me.SearchResults.RowSource = StrgSQL Me.SearchResults.Requery End Sub
However, It is not working. when I click the Combo box the List Box comes up blank.
report i'm trying to preview. I have a form which will display a person's training record and on that form i'd like to have a button which, when activated will show the record as a report in Print Preview. However, i'd like to just preview the record i'm looking at and not all of that person's records.
I am trying to add up a list of dates that match a criteria... a search box result.
I have tried DCount, and now I'm doing it through SQL, and no matter what combinations I try I still get an error - usually 3075 - Syntax error (missing operator)
But I can't find anything missing - I copy the SQL into a query view and it works perfectly... but it won't work on its own. And I've tried using DCount with the query as a query object, and I get the same error.
Code: Dim ResultCount As Long Dim DateSearch As Date Dim MyDate As String Dim MyDateAdd As Date Dim varReturnValue As Variant
[Code] .....
I've used the >= And < option as it solves an issue with Date Time. What operator is missing!?
I have created my tables and form and am now trying to run reports to organize the data. I have figured out how to group the individuals by group and treatment, but can't figure out how exclude individuals from the final list if they are already in another. As background, some of the individuals are eventually excluded from the experiment, though I keep the initial data. When the exclude individual checkbox is checked ("True" on the report) I do not want the individual to be listed in the "False" list, even though there are entries for that individual when that checkbox wasn't checked (when it was "True"). This is so I can get an idea of the current totals in each group.
Implant Period >Treatment >>Exclude individual? >>>Individual ID
I feel like this should be a fairly simple task, but I cannot figure it out... Maybe there is coding to exclude individuals from the "False" list if they are already listed in the "True" list?
I am having trouble filtering my report. My goal is to filter the report by:
1) [DateChanged] by user entry on a form (txtFrom and txtTo) 2)[Deliverable] by selection of a list box on form
My error is in the last line when i open the report. It only lets me filter using either option 1 or 2. When I include the "And", it gives me the error "Type Mismatch". I know its a syntax error.
My code is below
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''' Dim Deliverable As String Dim DateChanged As String Dim VarItm As Variant For Each VarItm In List2.ItemsSelected Deliverable = Deliverable & "[ID] = " & List2.Column(0, VarItm) & " OR "
I want a List Box on a Form that takes its available drop-down values from tblDiscipline and puts the value selected into the Discipline Field of tblEquipment.
The problem is I set the Control Source of the List Box to tblDiscipline (so the List Box can use these values for the drop-down selections) and when I make a selection it tries to put it back into tblDiscipline instead of tblEquipment, because I can't find anywhere to set the table that the result should be Bound to.
How can I set up a control, such as a List Box, so that it gets its values from one table but returns them to another?
I have a database (Access 2007) that handles a large number of consultants. Each consultant has a number of skills, has worked in a number of countries, and speak several languages. As contracts come in, I wish to generate a report based on the skill set, language and country/countries that best suits the contract; thereby identifying a group of most suitable consultants. I have designed a report with three sub reports for skills, languages and countries. Each sub report is linked to the main report through Link Master/Child fields using the ConsultantID. That's all fine; I get a report showing all consultants listing all their qualities.
Now, I want to be able to filter the sub reports on the three aspects: Skills; Countries; and Languages.
In the past, for other applications, and with the unfiltered form in preview I have used a popup form with unbound Combo Boxes to generate a string to use in the reports filter. I think I got that technique from Allen Browne, and it has really served me well.
Now, however, I can't use this technique since I can't set the filter for the sub reports. I thought that I might be able to use the Link Master Field with text boxes on the main report, but haven't managed to figure that out.
I work in psychological testing and I have created a database to store some data for our patients' test scores. I have a main form with demographics and then 5 buttons on the main form that open into 5 other forms (one form for each test). I also have created a button on the main form to run a Report; however, I would like to filter the report to only show the current record (e.g., Patient ID #1 only).
(Can this be done?) How should I go about filtering the report to show only the open record? Expression is preferred - I'm not very good with code.
I'm also assuming that since each form is linked by the primary key of Patient ID, I should be able to see all data from each form (main + 5 others) in the report for that specified Patient ID... (?)
I have a report (report1) which is based on a single query (query1).
There is a second query (query2) which returns just a single value (say 100) and I want the result of the query2 to appear at the bottom of the report1. The query2 is not related to the query1 so I cannot join them.
When I insert a text box in the report1 and choose the query2 from the control source Access gives the error, "The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '' as a valid field name or expression".
