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 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?

The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions.

Hi,
This is my first posting on this forum, and I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue...
I have a form that is used for entering information into tables. I would like to be able to select multiple options from a list on a form and have it saved into a table. Any ideas? Is this even possible :confused:
Here are some paths I followed:
The table has a List Box field, type Text, that gets values for the list items from another table. On the form, I have changed the Multi-Select property of the List Box to "Extended" so that the user can select multiple items from the list. But when I select items from the List Box, the table is not getting updated with the selected items.
Another way I tried doing this: The table has a List Box field that has no values (I'm not looking up values from another table). On the form, I set the Row Source of the List Box equal to the query that gets the list values from a table. I then set the Multi-Select property to "Extended". When I select multiple items from the List Box, the table doesn't get updated.
FYI: The control source for the list box on the form is pointing to the field in the table.
Thanks,

Good morning all...
I have two questions regarding a multi-select list box.
First, is there any way to have the list box include multi-line items...or which will scroll beyond the right border of the box?
Second, I have a multi-select list box which is populated with an ID # column and a Description column. The user can select as many items from the list box as needed and, as the list box item is clicked, the ID # is added to a memo field on the form, with each ID # delineated with a coma. Is it possible to separate the memo field back out so that each item is identified individually (for report purposes)?
Thanx so much for your help with this...you guys/gals are simply the best!

I have a dialog box where the users can filter a report by various combo boxes that works well. I'm trying to add a multiselect lis box option for one of the combo boxes and have added code which I've also used before. Together the code is looping through and opening the report without a problem, except it's not filtering by the options selected in the list box. Here's what I've got:
If Left(Me![cboSupplier].Column(0), 1) = "*" Or Right(Me![cboSupplier].Column(0), 1) = "*" Then
where = where & " AND [qssupp] Like " + Me![QSSupp].Column(0)
Else
where = where & " AND [qssupp]=" + Me![cboSupplier].Column(0)
End If
If Left(Me![cboPartNo].Column(0), 1) = "*" Or Right(Me![cboPartNo].Column(0), 1) = "*" Then
where = where & " AND [partID] Like " + Me![PartID].Column(0)
Else
where = where & " AND [PartID]=" + Me![cboPartNo].Column(0)
End If
For Each varItem In cboStatus.ItemsSelected
If strCondition = "" Then
strCondition = "[odstatusid] = " & cboStatus.Column(0, varItem)
Else
strCondition = strCondition & " OR [odstatusid] = " & cboStatus.Column(0, varItem)
End If
Next varItem
Set QD = db.CreateQueryDef("Dynamic_Query", _
"Select * from qryWeeklyOrderStatusRpt " & (" where " + Mid(where, 6) & ";"))
If (DCount("*", "Dynamic_Query") = 0) Then
MsgBox "There are no records to print"
Exit Sub
End If
Can anybody see where I'm going wrong?
I am using a Multi Select List Box to display a list of names from a table, in order to select e-mail recipients. The names are in two fields: [Main]![First Name] and [Main]![Surname].
I have done this by using the following code for the rowsource:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Main![e-mail], Main![First Name], Main!Surname FROM Main;
This gives a rather undesired effect, in that shorter first names have a large gap before the surname. In addition, there is a dull separating line between the two columns, thus:
Jane | Smith
Bartholomew | Simpson
My questions:
Is it possible to arrange the names so they appear in one column, with a space between them? (i.e. they would appear as written)
If not, can I get rid of the separating line?
Many thanks in advance if you can help!
I use access to gather information on testing that is conducted at my company. In the database I designed I set up a multiselect list box for when the people who conducted the test can check off the test equipment that they used. I did this because at anytime any number of different items can be used. Though I don't think we have ever used more then 10 test items. The reason for tracking the items that were used is if they, when out for yearly calibration, come back out of spec we can look at what tests used that equipment. As I further develop my system, I am starting to ask for more information from the requesters. I would like them to be able to check off what individual items are in the item being tested. Creating that list isn't the hard part for me.
My question comes in here. I know that using a multiselect list box is frowned upon as they can be sloppy to deal with when looking to extract data. Being as I am looking to expand my database, I was looking for what to do. I would still like to give the option of a multiselect list box, but should I create more fields and have the items used put into these new fields? Should I do the same for equipment that is used for the testing. If not and the list box is ok, how best to go through all the records to gather what ones used the specified equipment?
I have a simple question that I know will have a very complex answer
You have two sets of tables with identical structures. The first set contains data that is a model for the second set. The users run queries that append data to the second set of tables
Here is an example of the structure
TblSourceOne
SourceOneID
SourceOneData
TblSouceTwo
SourceTwoID
SourceOneID
SourceTwoData
TblSouceDetails
SourceDetailsID
SourceTwoID
SourceDetailsData
As you can see TblSourceTwo contains a foreign key from TblSorceOne and TblSorceDetails contains one from TblSourceTwo
The main table for the second set
TblTargetOne
TargetOneID
SourceOneID
TargetOneData
The user adds a record to the main table (TblTargetOne) then uses an append query to add all of the applicable records from TblSourceTwo to TbleTargetTwo
TblTargetTwo
TargetTwoID
TargetOneID
TargetTwoData
So now the user has a data model in TblSourceTwo which has been “copied” to TblTargetTwo
Next for each record in TblSourceTwo that has been copied to TblTargetTwo that has daughter records in TblSourceDetails another query is executed to copy all of the pertinate records to the TblTargetDetails
TblTargetDetails
TargetDetailsID
TargetTwoID
TargetDetailsData
Now the user has completely copied all of the necessary record for both table.
Finely the question
How can I use a multiselect list box to achieve this in one operation? I don’t care if it includes running multiple queries but it needs to appear as one single operation to the user.
I have a form which contains a multi select list box of team leaders. Unbound getting source from tl table. Based on one or more selection from user I want to run query that brings up those team leaders. When I have multi select to none in list box and select one to the query works fine. When I change it to simple or expanded it shows nothing. I have query criteria to get data from form list box.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running MS Access 2010 on Windows XP and my access skills are limited.
So I have a db with tables, forms and reports and would like to give my users the option of opening a filtered report (from a form).
The form (frmSelectStatus) and report (rptStatus) have been created and both open correctly by normal selection from the 'All Access Objects' side bar.
frmSelectStatus has a multi-select list box (lstStatus) and a command button (cmdStatus). When I click cmdStatus i get the correct report opening but it is all status records and not filtered by the selection made in lstStatus - and i know this is a result of not referencing 'lstStatus' in the code. i also have a query (qryStatus) which does not contain anything.
My 'on-click' code for cmdStatus is
Private Sub cmdSelect_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryStatus", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptStatus", acViewReport
DoCmd.Close acQuery, "qryStatus"
End Sub
I know I need to reference 'lstStatus' but am not sure where or how to do that in the code.
I am trying to make a simple database where the data entered in a form will update to a table. My issue is, one of the fields is manufacturing location where I would like the user to be able to enter multiple locations and then have those locations update the table where the record is stored. I've been able to set up a list box with multi-select but am stuck at getting the table to update with the choices made from the list box selection.

I'm trying to do something that in theory does not seem hard to do, but for some reason I can't translate it into code. With using a ListBox, I understand how to do a simple "when a value is selected, the remaining values are deselected" code. What I am trying to do is:
When the form is opened, the default selection of the listbox (lbOfficeLocation) is "***All Offices***".
If the user selects any other value (multiple values can be selected), the value "***All Offices***" is deselected.
If the user selects the value "***All Offices***", all other values are deselected.
For some reason or another, I can get (1) & (2) to work, but I cannot get (3) to work. After I make my initial selection that forces the deselection of value "***All Offices***" and highlights any other individual or multiple values, I try to re-select "***All Offices***" and it won't highlight, and will not deselect any of the other selected values.
I have tried multiple ways to code this, from using a For loop, If statement, and even a Select statement (Case 1, Case 2, ...), even using both Click() and AfterUpdate() as the event procedures, and nothing. I don't know how to use a IIF() statement very well, but do I need to use one of those? The code for what I have so far is below:
The name of the Listbox is "lbOfficeLocation".
Private Sub lbOfficeLocation_Click()
Dim holder As Integer
For holder = 0 To lbOfficeLocation.ListCount - 1
If lbOfficeLocation.Selected(holder) = True Then
Me.lbOfficeLocation.Selected(0) = False
End If
Next holder
End Sub
This code is for the deselection of value "***All Offices***" if any other value is selected. Please help me find the code to help with scenerio (3) as listed above, while still maintaining (2).
Thank you in advance, and feel free to ask for any additional info.
Morning - I have been searching a bit but to no avail. I have a query (qryTopTenList) set up in a database that selects the Top Ten "Classes" from a table with a key field of "insclass".
I have a multi select list box (LstInsClass) that allows end users to select multiple insurance classes. What I would like to do is set up a standard button that when clicked, will loop through all of the insclass in the query "qryTopTenList" and then select those same insurance classes in my multi select list box. So the end result is that 10 records in the List Box would be selected.
This is helpful b/c it prevents the need to go through the entire list box to select the top ten classes.
Thx in advance for any insight. I appreciate it.

I have a multi-select list box for selecting which faculty members apply to a project. The faculty table and project table are linked in a many-to-many relationship. I have the following code which should create entries in the link table:
Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim varItm As Variant
rs.Open "tblFacultyLink", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
For Each varItm In lstFaculty.ItemsSelected
rs.AddNew
rs!FacultyID = Me.lstFaculty
rs!EntryID = Me.EntryID
rs.Update
Next varItm
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
End Sub
It successfully creates new records and enters the EntryID and LinkID (autonumber). However, FacultyID is always left blank. lstFaculty is the unbound list box which has three columns from the faculty table and is bound to FacultyID. Any ideas on why FacultyID isn't created in the link table (I get no error messages)?
Also, any ideas on how to prevent duplicate links being created every time the button is pushed? I was planning on having it first run a delete query for that EntryID in the link table so that it replaces the old links and any that have now been unselected are no longer linked. Comments on that idea?
Thanks again to everyone on the forums for your help.
Is there a way to order the values in a multi-select list box:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 appears in the listbox as:
1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 . Is there a way to have it appear as it does originally?
I am making a form at work for a coworker with cascading combo/list boxes where she can select a Customer, then Platform Description, then Period, then Year. I used VBA code for this and it's working perfectly - for single selection. I want to update this so she can select multiple Platform Descriptions and/or Periods and it will give all the applicable info.
I can use or a way to set up a query, etc. so that multi-select will work for me? Unfortunately, just changing the formatting to multiselect makes the listbox just blank white, so I'm assuming it's going to be more complicated.
(Here's the code I currently have for the cascading combo/list boxes, if you need it. SD0039DA_T is the table name where my listboxes are pulling info from.)
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_Load()
On Error Resume Next
CustomerCB.SetFocus
PlatformDescriptionL.Enabled = False
PeriodL.Enabled = False
YearCB.Enabled = False
End Sub

I have created a search form which I would like to use to run a query (so the data is in a spreadsheet form and I can export it).
In this search form I have a multi select list box (simple) that list the states in the US. I need to be able to pass 1 or more states as a search criteria at the same time. Also I need it to pull ALL states if there is nothing selected. The search form has a bunch of fields on it that won't all be used.
I know once you select more than one thing from a list you can't reference it directly, is there a way to accomplish what I want to do?
So I have a multiselect listbox. The list that it shows depends on what is selected in a separate combo box.I want to be able to select multiple items from the listbox, and then be able to leave the record, and when I come back to it, to still have those items highlighted. Right now in my form, as I go through records, if I highlighted items 1,2 and 3 on a record, those first three lines will stay highlighted as I move through different records, rather than changing to what had been selected for each record.
I've already stored the actual selected values in a subtable. I just want to have it highlighted again so that you can see what was previously selected.
I am trying to create a Multi list to select reports to send by email. I am able to select one report to send but when I change the list box to multi select it doesn't work.
