List Boxes In Forms

Dec 21, 2006

HI hope you can help me!

I'm wanting to create drop down lists that are filtered as a result of a previous field, but not having much luck!

I've tried using a query to do this, but not having any luck! am i going down the right path?

Do i need a new query for each list, or can they all run off one query?

How can i refresh the list if a previous field is updated?

Additionally where there is only 1 option (similar to a lookup in excel) how can i set this without using a list box?

Hope that in the xmas spirit, my job is safe!!

Merry xmas to all.

Forms +List Boxes +Text Boxes With Formulas

Nov 8, 2004

I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.

Thanks,

Lester

List Boxes In Forms. Help Please! :)

Jun 7, 2005

I am having a lot of trouble trying to understand List Boxes in general and am hoping someone can explain them for me.

My problem is I have a database where a user has one unique ID number, but they can have several departments that they can be linked to in another table. I'd like to be able to have the various departments listed in a List Box with the departments that the user is linked to automatically selected when viewing the form.

Then if I was to add a new user, I'd select each department by using the Multi Select feature and add those details to the existing database.

Does this work or am I way off track here?

I hope that makes sense. My experience to date has been creating tables in Access. Everything else is new to me.

Thanks in advance. :)

Dropdown List Boxes In Forms

Feb 8, 2005

I am trying to put a DROPDOWN LIST BOX in a access 2003 form, NOT a combo box. I only need this so I can disallow users from manually entering data into the combo box by typing it in. I want them only to be able to choose it from a list. I think that a LISTBOX is the only way to do this, other that using a straight list box, which would use too much room. However I cannot find any way to add this to a form. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Todd

Forms :: Manage Lists For Combo And List Boxes?

Aug 15, 2015

During the course of it's development I have created about twenty tables whose sole purpose is to house data for use in combo and list boxes. They have no other purpose.

I am now in the process of creating the maintenance side of this project and how to manage these lists. In the past I have created a form with a multitude of subforms to manage these lists.

Forms :: Multi Select List Boxes And Parameter Queries

Apr 16, 2013

I am creating an absenteeism database which has the following tables:

tblEmp - PK - auto number, EmpId, First Name, Last name
tblFunction - PK - FID (autonumber) has departments
tblTL - PK TLID (autonumber) has list of team leaders
tblRelated - pK - Id (auto), EmpId, TLID, FId as long integeres
tblCodes - CodeId (auto), list of absenteeism codes like late, mia, etc
EmpLeave - pk - autonumber, empid, codeid, hours, date of absenteeism

I have a Qry_Master which just joins all the information together as it gets updated on a monthly basis

Now, I am trying to create a form where the user has option to select one or more tls and one or more codes and when they hit the button, it should come up with all emps that have those codes and report to the team leader selected.

In my form, I have made both my list boxes as multiselect and i have Qry_frm that is a parameter query but when i run the button nothing happens and i cant seem to figure it out. I have attached the sample database to this thread.

Forms :: Multi-Select List Boxes To Filter Subform

Oct 6, 2014

I have 7 multi-select list boxes, which I want the user to be able to select multiple items and have it filter a subform by what is selected. The subform will not be visible.

Here is the code I tried for filtering my subform (which is throwing an error when I call it).

Private Function MasterSearch()
On Error GoTo Error_MasterSearch

Dim StrgSQL As String
Dim WhereClause As String
StrgSQL = "SELECT * FROM MasterTbl"

[Code] ...

The above code was to test just 1 of the 7 listboxes. When I call it on click for the command button, it throws an error about the "Call MasterSearch".

Forms :: Show In A List Box A Query Filtered By 2 Or More Text Boxes

Dec 15, 2014

I've created a form with two textboxes and a listbox. What I want to do is to show in the listbox the registers filtered by the 2 textboxes. But I would like that the listbox refreshes while typping in the textboxes.It was no problem to do filtering with only one textbox. The rowsource of the listbox is a query in which I set in the criteria Like [Forms]![Form1]![Textbox1].[Text] & "*"Then I write the code for the change event of the Textbox1:

Private Sub Textbox1_Change()
Listbox1.Requery
End Sub

With this I have no problem. The problem is when using the 2 textboxes. I write the same in the criteria, Like [Forms]![Form1]![Textbox2].[Text] & "*", on another field but it doesn't work. I also write the code for the second textbox:

Private Sub Textbox2_Change()
Listbox1.Requery
End Sub

The listbox doesn't filter with both textboxes. When you type in one of them, the listbox filters from it, but when you type in the other textbox, the listbox shows the whole table filtered with the characters of the second textbox.

Use Multi-select List Box To Filter A Report With Two List Boxes

Nov 20, 2013

Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? 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. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.

Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items

[Code] .....

List Boxes And Combo Boxes

Feb 28, 2007

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.

List Boxes

Aug 4, 2006

Im having a problem with a listbox/query/label. My DB is based on one that was posted in the sample database are of this forum. In itself it works really well. Clicking on the labels at the top of the list box applys a sort to the list box, each one of these sorts is based on a query. My porblem is that I want to be able to produce and print a report based on those queries. I know I could put a bunch of buttons on the form and do it that way. Or put a list box with all the my reports in and do it that way. I would prefer though, to have one button with one report reading the information from the different queries depending on what label is selected. Hopefully thats clear, the DB demonstartes it better. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

List Boxes

Sep 8, 2006

I am struggling to create the "hidden" control. I'm assuming it should be a text box? Where should the code given on the above page go in the text box properties? Do I need to do something to activate the code after selections are made in the list box?

I have an unbound list box with it's row source a query whose select criteria comes from another list box once selected. When the form first opens the list box is empty until the user makes a selection. How do I prevent access from running the query in the first list box when the form first opens.

List Boxes

Jun 24, 2005

I want to be able to specify the site of a disease. I had a combo box with pre-defined options (linked to a LU table) but now i find out there can be multiple disease sites. I changed it to a list box and chose multi-select (extended) but this does not retain the values in the form or record them in a table (even when I use the wizard and tell them what field i want the results in). What am i doing wrong or have I missed the whole gist of what a list box is for? Cannot find anything on line to help me here

Forms :: Changing Multiple Text Boxes To Combo Boxes?

Mar 14, 2014

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.

Forms :: Search Form Using Both Combo Boxes And Check Boxes

Jun 5, 2014

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

List Boxes Fed From Queries

Jun 25, 2007

Hi peeps

I have a list box that contains 4 fields and the list box is located on a form.
One of the fields on the form is [Date logged]. This is also colum 2 of the list box.
I am trying to write some code to say that if the Date logged on the form is different to the one in the list box, run an append query.
Basically, the principal behind this is to have an audit trail of when records have been ammended. The first time a record is created, a base record is created. It is this base record that will populate the list box along with all other record changes that occurr from that point on.
I am trying to say that if the [Date logged] does not match the last record in the list then it knows it needs to append the record to the history table again as a change has been made. I would really appreciate some help here folks. Thanks so much! :-)
