Say for example, in two fields within my dropdown for Camera Status in the Maintenance table...
FIT FOR PURPOSE - Availability Checkbox = Yes
What expression do I need in expression builder, so that Selecting UNDER REPAIR or FAULTY/DAMAGED instead makes the checkbox availability turn to unchecked automatically within a form, without the need to manually change the checkbox?
I have a form that shows a list of all of my records in my database. I want to be able to click a button called "Report" and have that print a report that has all the records I have filtered on my form. I have a report in the format that i want it in, however, currently it prints every record and not just what is shown on my form. (The form is dynamic and I want the Report to be dynamically based on the form) HELP PLEASE!
I am trying to build a function that will create a dynamic query for a chart on a Subreport.I am not exactly sure I am going about this the right way, but I need the user to be able to change selected fields for use in the query. I have a form with 3 combobox controls for selecting options to change the SQL statement. So far my code only deals with one of these comboboxes for simplicity. There is a button to call my function. Currently, the function is setting hidden text box values based on the combo controls, but I'm not sure if this is redundant.
I am using this as my guide for building the sql, but I am having trouble picking up the values in my text boxes for use in the SQL. [URL] .....
Code: Option Compare Database Option Explicit
[code]...
how do I get a value from an unbound textbox on an unbound form into a string to use as sql? The value in the textbox is a number.
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!!!
Is there any way to make a checkbox object larger, or to change the character that signifies that the box is checked ( for instance a character "X" instead of qa check??
I have a combo box in a form. The box is linked to a table called Therapy with 3 fields: TherapyID, Therapy_Type and Therapy_Cost.
The table has been populated with 5 records: 1 Physical Therapy $125 2 Occupational Therapy $125 3 Acupuncture $90 4 Swedish Massage $65 5 Raindrop Treatment $65
I have a field on the form that pops up the cost when one of these is selected in the combo box. This seems to be working but for some reason, and it's blowing my mind, the combo box refuses to let me select Occupational Therapy or Raindrop Treatment.
I have other pick lists of other things working perfectly well, allowing all selections and popping the costs into their little text fields quite happily.
Can anyone give me a hint as to why THIS one isn't working right?
I would like to select multiple records from my combo box not at the same time but each selection to be added to another text field in my form.
PROBLEM: When I select a record that 1st selection is populated in the other text field however when I want to select another choice to be added with the 1st choice the selection overwrites the 1st choice instead of adding to it.
How do I allow the user to select more than one answer in a combo box? It is a drop down menu with several choices. I'd like the user to be able to select more than one if desired and all choices would display when queried. Thank you much. :)
Howdy all, Ive got combo boxes, in a cascading style working well... but what id like to also have is a another dropdown list that shows the last 5 selected options (because often the data will be entered in batches and it should just save time)there is combo1 combo2 and combo3 If Sport is selected in combo1 then it displays combo2 with all the sports in it, so if golf is selected then the golf options come up in combo3 for example tiger, So id like to store Sport > Golf > Tiger Ive already got the value for Tiger being selected, so I can assign that easily enoughWhat id like to be able to do is store the name and its value in a combo box maybe showing the last 5 selections. Im just not sure what the best way to go about this would be, Should I make a table with say 5 rows? or is there a better way to go about it?Any thoughts or advice would be awesome,Cheers Ezy
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'm working on a database where users enter an assignment into a datasheet form. Assignments are selected from a combo box that has values stored in a table. After choosing the assignment, the user adds the date it was completed. After this is done, I would like the "Next Due" column to update. Each assignment will have a different next due date, such as one year from the completion date, six months, etc. I don't know how to add different values depending on the combo box selection.
I need to create a form or a subform that brings up a list of records based on criteria that a user chooses in multiple list boxes. Is this possible? I am pretty new to Access.
(Shipments Table) ShipmentID WaybillNo Date ServiceTypeID
The ServiceTypeID is selected on the Shipments Form by making a selection from a combo box that has been populated by the RateID Table Field Names (which are the service types).
Everything works fine but I need to be able to run a query to calculate the freight charge (from the appropriate rate in the Rate Profile Table) according to which Customer & Service Type has been selected, but not having much joy.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could point me in the right condition.
I currently have a combo box that filters form based on specialist (an employee using the system), and this works fine:
Private Sub FilterSpecialist_AfterUpdate() Me.Filter = "SpecialistAssigned = '" & Me.FilterSpecialist & "'" Me.FilterOn = True End Sub
When Specialist Assigned name is selected, it only shows their cases (records of the form that are assigned to them).
However, now I'm trying to also filter based on only the selected Specialists Open cases. I have a combo box at the bottom of the form that saves whether the Case is Open or Closed, (creatively) called CaseOpenClosed:
Private Sub FilterSpecialist_AfterUpdate() Me.Filter = ("SpecialistAssigned = '" & Me.FilterSpecialist & "'" And CaseOpenClosed = "Open") Me.FilterOn = True End Sub
I've tried this based on me searching the forum but it doesnt filter at all anymore, and no error either. I've tried other ways but get errors. What is wrong with this?
How to correct the issue below. I created a split form and I have 2 combo boxes that allow multiple selections. The one combo box for LOB (line of business) works perfect and does not create duplicate records in the datasheet view of the split form. The 2nd combo box with multiple selections creates duplicate records in the datasheet depending on how many selections are made.
I have checked this in the underlying table and there are no duplicate records, it is only in the split form datasheet. I have checked settings and configuration between the 2 combo boxes that are reacting differently and they appear to be identical...
I have a combo box that i would like to dynamically change the recordsource (what values are available in the dropdown) based off of the criteria in another field. Basically, I want to switch which query the combo points to.
I am looking to do something like...
If field1 = nulll combo recordsource = query1 (a list of values from table1) Else combo recordsource = quer2 (a list of values from table2)
I am looking to switch which query the combo is populated with, not limit the rows based on field1.
One is called brand and the other sub brand, and when i select a particular brand only the relevant sub brands are displayed. The problem i have is that when i reselect a different brand the sub brand combo box does not update.
I have created this setup by making the sub brand combo box a query.
The Query is:
SELECT SubBrand FROM SubBrand.SubBrand WHERE SubBrand.Brand=[Combo3]
I searched these forums but I did not see anything that was helpful in the matter, so if there is a thread like this please direct me to it and disregard this.
I have a combo box that houses the names of dealerships, this is bound to a table.
A user does have the ability to add a new dealership at all times to the combobox by simply typing it in.
The problem, the only way the new dealership appears in the list is if you close the form and reopen (which makes sense)
What I need to do is dynamically update this list so that anytime there is a new dealership it will automatically show up in the drop-down list.
Would a union query be the best way to go about this?
I am trying to get a series of combo boxes to interact and record the selections made in new records within a destination table. Here is situation with respect to the tables involved:
1 table lists the names/acronyms of various research facilities and the branch to which they belong (acronym is PK) 1 table lists Financial Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to earlier table) 1 table lists Technical Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to Facility table) 1 table lists program participants and the branch they belong to (Branch in FK to relate to Facility table)
I am trying to create a form that allows me to set the participant and, from this selection, restricts the facility choices in the Facility combo box to those that fall within the branch to which the participant is assigned. I think the next step is pretty obvious too. Once the facility is selected I have combo boxes that would only display those Financial and Technical PoCs assigned to that facility.
I have watched the 4 Data Pig tutorials and I can easily make functional cascading combo boxes as long as they only refer to the look up tables. I generated perfectly functioning cascading combo boxes on a test form. How do I generate combo boxes that will then store the info selected in my destination table? Whenever I try to set a Control Source it disrupts the functioning of the queries.
I stumbled on to a Dynamic Multi Search form on this site and have been tailoring it to my organization's directory of contacts. Everything was going good until I was asked to include a search by groups to which each individual may belong. The data in the table is contained in Yes/No check boxes for around 30 different groups. I am hoping to add a combo box to the Dynamic Search as a means to pull up individuals in any 1 category. Below are two attempts at what I thought might work, however, neither performs any filtering.
Code: Private Sub Groupbox_Change() Dim db As Database Dim qdf As QueryDef Dim strSQL As String Set db = CurrentDb Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryGroup")
I am creating an inventory database and was wanting to know how to make a combo box or any box auto populate information from tables. I would like to have a combo box so that you can do a search inside of it and find the necessary product, select it, and all the product specs will be displayed. I have created the combo box with this information, but no luck getting it to populate on the form itself. Thanks in advance for your help.
I have created a combo box in my form, the options for the combo box are coming from a table. It all works fine expect for some odd reason, when I click on an option in the combo box then come out of access, when I go back into the database the one I had chosen has gone. Do you know how I do so what I put in the combo box will stay?
Okay, this might be difficult to understand or tough for me to explain properly. Basically it's like this. I choose a cltContactID (a foreign key tied to a main Client's Contact's table). Then, in the next field, I'm choosing a source (for example: General Hospital) that referred the client to my company - call this refSource.
Then, in some cases, or most, I need to identify the person within that refSource that actually did the referring (eg, a Social Worker named Gene). Now I deal with 20+ Hospitals, 30+ Community Centres, 20+ Medical Centres, etc. etc., basically tonne of different sources.
So I would like the combo box, where I choose the person within a refSource that has referred a client, to only list people (or other staff personnel) that are affiliated with that source which I would have identifed one field earlier, rather than having a combo box that could potentially list hundreds and hundreds of names.
It's more complicated than just adding simple criteria in a query and making the combo-box look up that. The criteria must be dynamic; specific to each record.
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...
I've set up a form where i choose a country in one drop down box and this choice selects the exchange rate i get in another drop down menu. The exchange rates are controlled by a linked spreadsheet which automatically updates my database with the latest information. However, on my spreadsheet every country which uses the euro is grouped into one name 'euroland'. In my country drop down box though, are the individual names, france, germany etc. I cannot alter the spreadsheet as it is used by many people in the organisation. What i need to do then, it get my database to recognise all the European countries as 'Euroland', while still keeping the discreet names in my drop down menu.
I hope I can form this question so it makes sense. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do this, if it can be done at all.
Ok, imagine I’m making a database of widgets. In this database I’m creating a table of widget name, cost, weight, and color. This part is pretty simple. Now, my widgets can come in many different colors. To accommodate this, I create a separate table for colors, let’s say red, green, blue, yellow and purple. I create a color item in the first widget table, and use the look up wizard to point it to the color table. This way on my forms I can select the color widget I want and have it all standardized.
This is where my problem comes in. My widgets can be multiple colors. How can I create a field in my widget table, to somehow reference that I can have a red and blue widget? So, when I query all my red widgets, I get the red ones and the ones with red in them?
Now, I could make an item in my widget table for each color and make it a yes/no field. But, my real problem is exponentially bigger than this so that isn’t what I want to do.
