Making A Listbox Display A List From A Single Field (cell)
Sep 29, 2005
:confused: :confused: :confused:
Hello, I am new here to the forum.
I have a list box on a form that i want to display a list from a single cell or a table in my access database. The list in this cell is a list seperated by commas such as.....
Field 1 Field 2
example a, b, c, d
I want my listbox to display the list from the first cell in field 2.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin :)
PS I know something similar can be done in visual basic. For example, a simple program can be written to take a list (seperated by commas (,) ) and then display this list in a listbox on the form. Is there a way that the simple code such as that can be altered to work in access?
I've inherited a data base which has the address details of our members spread across multi fields i.e. Add 1, Add2, Add 3, Post town, Post code etc.
Not all the fields contain information which means when I do a mail merge for address labels there are blank lines.
I would like to either be able to create a single field in the table (like a memo field for example) which contains all the address detail, or create a mail merge without blank lines.
To anyone who can help, I have created a function that loops through an amount of records and concatenates them into a single comma-separated string. What I would like to do is concatente the values into a list. Instead of:
value1, value2, value3
I would like to see
value1 value2 value3
This needs to be in a single record only. The code I am using is: ---------------------------- while not rec.eof string = string & ", " rec.movenext wend string=left(string,len(string)-2) --------------------------------
Thanks for all your help. I have tried to insert char(20), but this only seems to work in Excel. Access gives me invalid char symbol.
My form has a listbox (lstHeatTreatments - Multi-Select disabled) that displays Heat Treatment descriptions and an unbound textbox (txtHTDetails) that I would like to have display the corresponding memo field when a description is selected from the listbox.
This is my code so far:
Code: Private Sub lstHeatTreatments_AfterUpdate() Dim myConnection As ADODB.Connection Dim myRecordSet As New ADODB.Recordset Dim mySQL As String Dim selectedRequirementKey As Long Set myConnection = CurrentProject.AccessConnection Set myRecordSet.ActiveConnection = myConnection
I have a question regarding the display of a list of numbers that are stored into a field of my database. Currently the numbers are comma-delineated which is fine with me, but I was wondering if there is a way to change the display of those numbers on the form so that it is easier to read.
Example:
current format - 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10 desired format - 1-4, 7-10
I have a form and there is a command button on it. I want the code that will run when that commandbutton is pressed and it should check the first sheet "Sheet1" in all the workbooks in the folder C:FolderTemp.
And if the first sheet name is not "sheet1" then just ignore that workbook and move to next workbooks. If the first sheet name is "Sheet1" in a workbook then display the value present in cell B1 in a message box.
So if there are 5 workbooks in the folder C:FolderTemp and two of them hasn't got first sheet named "Sheet1" then display value of B1 in rest of the 3 sheets in a message box one by one.
I would like to only display certain fields on a form depending on a criteria in another cell. For example if some enters 4 in 'Schemes' it would display 4 data entry boxes scheme1, scheme2, scheme3 etc - is it possible?
I am trying to create a listbox that shows "calculated" dates for a two week payroll. I have a field in a table that is set to a start date (05.31.05) and another field that specifies the number of days between dates (14). I would like set a listboxes recordsource to show the start date and then calculate the next 4 dates using the first date (05.31.05) and the range (14) without actually storing any dates in the table. I can figure out how to do it if the values are stored, but I just want to know if this is possible to get the results another way.This may sound crazy and unecessary, but I want to know if this is possible without storing values in the table.
Listbox values: 05.31.05 - (first date from table) 06.14.05 - (first date + 14) 06.28.05 - (first date + 2*14) 07.12.05 - (first date + 3*14) 07.18.05 - (first date + 4*14)
I have created listbox with one column (contains one column only), now i would like to display all the characters of list item (want scroll bar to listbox).
How do i display all text of list item, I have already fixed Column Widths to max length (22";0.1"). However when scrolling to right, it is going to next blank column of list box, which is created only to change Column Widths property.
I have the following info in a table - I am trying to make a file to import into a label printing program. I have qty 5 of item X13 and so need 5 labels for it, 3 of X24's and so on. The output is basically a print file that will print the right quantity of labels for each of the names equipment.
Name; number X13; 5 X24; 3 X77; 1
I need an output file as follows, in excel or query result:
X13 X13 X13 X13 X13 X24 X24 X24 X77
How do i achieve this in a query or do I need code and if so what would it look like..
I had a bigger question earlier and it was answered but I am still having problems with a small part of it. I am trying to track the details of a meeting. who requested it, for what project, date, duration, who attended. I have everything figured out except accounting for who attended the meetings. attendees also called "analysts" have a manay to many relationship with the meetings. Because they can be a part of many meetings and a meeting can have many analysts. So I created a seperate table called MR-Analyst which was supposed to help me track which meetings each analyst attended. I don't know how the data entery form should look like, right now I have everything on it and linked correctly to track everything excep the analysts. how can I create a list box or something that I can select multiple analysts for each meeting and have that recored linked to the MR-Analyst table? Please Help!!!
We have 4 managers and 16 foreman. Each month a manager is tasked with calling 4 foreman for progress reports.
I'd like to create a simple program with Access to have the foreman assigned to the managers differently each month. It would have to remember the past 4 months so the same names aren't assigned to the same managers. It also has to randomly assign the foremen so the managers don't have the same foreman after 4 months (if that makes sense).
I have created a database of club members in Access 2010. Each day I need to generate a report of who comes to the club. Up to this point I have been using an Excel spread sheet of members that I copy and paste to new daily spreadsheets each day. how to do this.
Is there a way to make a form that will display all records based on a single date, at the same time, in the same format each and every time?I have a table which has the following fields:
ID (Autonumber, PK) ServiceDate RunningNumber BonnetNumber Deallocate (yes/no)
Now, I would quite like to keep the form in a style similar to all the others I have, not least as I have to cater for users of all age and abilities, so keeping things as simple. I have attached an image - each row to represent a record basically, I would like the form to open and show the same layout on each day (I would place the textboxes etc in route groups); a null value would not be allowed for at least one field in each record, I could force the records to populate the form in the same way each day?
I have the need to display the return of my "Sum Query" to display in a text box.
I need the attached below value (40500) in the "SumofQuery" attachment, which updates every 5 minutes to display on the "StatusBoard" attachment text box.
I have been searching for a good 10 hours on how to do this and still cannot find it.
I have built a few Access DBs and am looking to improve my development skills and attemt to migrate my Access DB to SQL Azure. I find access to be a very powerful development environment to build rapid applications . How to use multiple monitors so that I can display different forms on each monitor from a single Access DB.
I have inherited a database that is used to track equipment that comes in for repair. One of the fields in this database is a memo field that lists the parts that are replaced on a piece of equipment. It has been requested that I leave this field as it is. However, I would like to regulate the data that is entered into to some extent. I need to ensure that there is a comma between every part number listed (there is another group that wants data from this database and they want to be able to separate this field out into individual fields). Is there a way to have Access look at the data in a memo field, find all the periods or ampersands, and replace them with commas?
The other thought I had was to provide the person filling in the database with a multi-select list box that lists all the available part numbers for a given piece of equipment. That person could select as many as she wants and when she was done, the database would take those values, put a comma between each one, and paste them in the memo field. Is that possible? What I have tried isn't working. I tried to get it to loop through the selected items and put them in the memo field, but I just end up with the last value selected instead of all of the items selected.
I don't know what to try next, Either the person entering the data is going to be upset because she has to type every part number in a different field, or the people receiving the data are going to be upset because there isn't a comma between each number.
I currently have the following setup for my database which is working as desired when only being used by one user at a time:
Front end: Access 2010 database in Citrix Back end: SharePoint List
The problem is that only one user can open the Access Database at a time since this action locks the database for other potential users. The locking occurs due to this link to the back end SharePoint list.
allow multiple users to update the SharePoint list through the access database at the same time?
