Modules & VBA :: Combo Box Will Not Display List In Correct Order
Nov 3, 2014
I have code attached to a command button to fill a Combo Box with data from a music collection. A letter of the alphabet is entered into a Text Box then records beginning with that letter are copied from a table, either by Artist or Title. They are saved to a temporary table at which time they are in no particular order. Those records are copied to a further table and saved in alphabetical order. This table is then used to fill the Combo Box.
I used two temporary tables because the records were not displayed in the correct order. I hoped this might cure it, it did not. The records are in order in the table but not in the Combo Box.
Code:
Private Sub Command68_Click()
'SEARCH AND FILL COMBO BOX
On Error GoTo errTrap
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM tempList;"
[Code] .....

Very simple question:
How do I make the results of a query which I am displaying in a combo box appear in order.
e.g. 1 then below that 2 then below 3 then below 4 etc
even though I may have entered the details in a different order. I've tried doing it order by ascending and decending but this doesn't work.
Many thanks
Paul.

I've been trying to work up a where clause that is generated by a button click event on a report. The workflow that i'm trying to obtain is as follows:
1) A report is run to determine the remaining work orders that need to be processed.
2) A button that is placed on that report is to be clicked, taking the user to the form associated with that work order, so it can be processed.
What i've been able to do so far is capture the unique ID for the work order and then print that in a message box. I can then open the form.
What i haven't been able to accomplish thus far is to open the form to the correct work order.
Things I've tried : I started trying to use the macro with the search for record option and using the where clause. Not successful. I am a little more comfortable in using vba so i switched to that pretty quickly.
Code:
Private Sub btnJobEntry_Click()
'GOAL: open the work order form to the correct entry
'METHOD: store the uniqueID to a variable, then use that in the open command's where clause
Dim strJobID As String
'store the unique ID in the variable
[Code] ....
I've put the strJobID variable in both the filter and where clause sections of the DoCmd but it just opens the form to the first entry. I'm fairly confident i'm not applying the filter/where clause correctly by using the incorrect syntax.

I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate()
Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));"
End Sub

How to define Order that starts with a dependency on the existing value.
Basically, a function that chooses what Status Validation to run then knows when to stop that displays some very simple predictive Inference.
Each Record has a Status. The Status will generally be correct 85% of the time. Once in a while, various things in the database are updated that triggers the business need to change the status.
-A collection of Rule based validation functions matches each Status.
-The objective is not to run Rule 1 through 40 sequentially for each record.
-Each Rule Validation function is lengthy and can take 0.1 seconds per rule (per record).
-If the current record's rule is still valid 85% of the time, Then run that Status Rule Validation function first.
-If the Validation returns True, there is no need to run the rest of the rules. Move to the next record.
The challenge: Statistically, if the Current Status failes its Rule Validation, there is a high probability that one of the Status Validation Function near to the current Status will validate to true.
Like the board game Clue, once a Validation Rule comes out False, there is no need to check it for that single record again.
In an extremely simplistic world, think about Status of : Order in Progress, Order Completed, Completed Order Paid, Shipping in Progress, Item Shipped Ready, Shipped, In Transit, Delivered, Rejected, Payment Recended, ...
So, if the current status was In Transit, there is a higher odd that Delivered would be the next. There would be no need to start from the beginning again. The wonderful world of Metadata.

I want to create a combo box on a form where I can choose between 5 company names, and upon my choice, I want a list box or another combo box to display the departments under the company I chose (each company has different departments), and when I choose the department, I want to another combo box to display the limited job titles under that department.
For example: I choose company A > combo box displays the 5 departments under company A (dept.1,2,3,4) I choose dept. 4 > display job titles under dept. 4
How can I do that? Should I do a table? A query?

One of my probs with access is changing the form when a different resolution is being set.
Is there a visual basic module or something else to display the form properly dependent of the selected resolution?

I'm sorry if this is obvious, but I have asked local professionals and scoured this site for answers before posting...
I have a database that I'm using to store and analyze language samples (basically, the mistakes that students make when trying to speak in another language). For each bit of language, I want to be able to say what domain the mistake belongs to - e.g. the 'clause', 'phrase', or 'word' domain. I have a table containing the five domains. I also have a table for each of these domains, containing the specific types of mistakes relevant to that domain. It is conceivable, but unlikely, that I will ever add to the domain table, but highly likely that I will add types of mistakes in the five related tables.
As I analyze bits of language, I will be appending each analysis (record) to a table as shown in the attached image. So far so good. The part that I cannot fathom, though, is how to display (let alone perform calculations on) this data: While the ErrorDomainID is a foreign key to the ErrorDomain table, the ErrorUnitID could refer to one of five tables, so that an ErrorUnitID of 2, for example, could refer to one thing if the Domain is 1 but quite another if the domain is 1 or 5 or whatever.
I've tried all kinds of coding and SQL workarounds, but I have a feeling I'm just missing something very basic here. If anyone could offer some guidance, I'd be extremely grateful!

I have 2 Comboboxes, one for Region and one for Country, and am attempting to initalize/cascade them. Here is the basic info for the the underlying tables:
tblRegion
regionAbbreviation (Text, PK)
regionName (Text)
regionOverseer (Text, Foreign Key...essentially a parameter)
[code]...
Some relational constraints of which to be aware:
1. Every Region has at least one Country
2. Every Region has one and only one Overseer
3. An Overseer may be responsible for more than one Region
Characteristics of the Comboboxes:
1. Both use 2 columns with the Name field (first column) being displayed and the Abbreviation or Code field (second column) being the bound column.
2. The nominal case is that both comboboxes will have multiple items to select and in that case the comboboxes are initialed with a query containing a UNION that inserts the string "<ALL>" (same string in both columns).
3. When the case arises that an Overseer manages a single Region or a Region contains a single Country, the Union query is bypassed such that the "<ALL>" string is excluded.
The comboboxes are used to create a filter condition to drill down into a potentially very large recordset.Now to the issue at hand ...
The Region combobox is initialized first. The initialization is accomplished by setting the RowSource property to an appropriate query. The first entry in the item list is then loaded to the combobox Value property by the following line of code:
Me.cbxRegion.Value = Me.cbxRegion.Column(0,0)
This always works whether there are multiple items or just one. If there is just one I set the Enabled property to FALSE; no point in reselecting the only item avaliable.The Country combobox is then initialized in a similar manner using appropriate code that is virtually identical to that used for the Region combobox.The problem I am having is that if there is only a single Country, the Name is not displayed in the combobox but is contained in the selection list. Note that i do not have a problem with the Region combobox when it is initialized with a single Region.
I have searched this forum and others and found similar inquiries and a couple of possible solutions; some clearly don't work while others appear to but result in run-time errors later in the execution of the code (run-time error '2115').I do not have a simply test case I can upload at this time; also new to the forum and appear to be restricted as to my ability to perform uploads.

I want to display the text from one combo in a text box in another form based on what's selected in a second combo box. The text box is in a different form from the combo boxes.
Sub D_ComponentTypeCmb_Change()
If Me.D_ComponentNameCmb.Value = "Customise" Then
Forms!CustomComponentF!C_ComponentTxt.Value = Me.D_ComponentTypeCmb
Else
Forms!CustomComponentF!C_ComponentTxt.Value = ""
End If

I am using an unbound object frame to display an .png image file which is set in vba.
The image is an excel chart saved as a .png
The problem I have however is that the image I save from Excel is great quality, and is pretty tack sharp, but when I display the same file in the unbound object frame in access, it is not nearly as sharp.
I am setting the picture property of the control as:
ubImageUserChart = "c: empmyChart.png"
It displays alright, but is just a bit fuzzy - still quite legible, but it is a complex graph with a lot going on - has regressions and formulas etc on the graph, and they need to be very clear.
BTW - the unbound frame is the same size as the Excel chart which gets saved as a .png file. If I tile the images (Access unbound frame and original file in picassa preview) side by side - they are identical - size, orientation etc.
It is not practical for me to try and do the chart natively in access as it is way to complex. I am using access vba to drive an excel session to do all the statistical yack work and chart rendering, then displaying a png image of the resulting chart in an unbound object frame in access.

I am using access 2010
I am trying to get my list box to filter based on the selection of a combo box.
My Combo box cboOrgRole is on my main form and is bound to OrgRoleID - on form - frmOrgEntry
The unbound list box lstRoleList is in a tabbed subform - frmPersonnel
This is my data pull for lstRoleList
Code:
SELECT tbl00PersonRole.PersonRole, tbl01Orgs.OrgRoleID
FROM tbl00PersonRole INNER JOIN tbl01Orgs ON tbl00PersonRole.OrgRoleID = tbl01Orgs.OrgRoleID
WHERE (((tbl01Orgs.OrgRoleID)=[Forms]![frmOrgEntry]![OrgRoleID]));
This is the code I have on cboOrgRole AfterUpdate
Private Sub cboOrgRole_AfterUpdate()
Me.frmPersonnel.lstRoleList.Requery
End Sub
I have also tried Recalc - both throw a Compile error: Method or data member not found
My goal is to be able to select the role of the organization, (General Contractor, Architect, Engineer, or Client) and have it list the available titles for the specific organization type.
My "00" tables are library tables

Hi everyone,
I have a combo box that is populated from a table called tblProducts.
There are only three fields ID, Model and Description in this table.
ID is the primary key field and is an Autonumber
In the form when a user selects a product from the combo box the "Model" fields is displayed which is how I want it.
I am doing a query that should show the "Model field however when I run the query it shows the "ID" field which is useless information for the end user.
How do I show the correct field in the query?

I have database of roughly 15000 records. The records have a unique number and the majority of searches etc work OK. The problem is with a form used to display record details with various sub forms embedded on the form.
Scrolling through displays the correct details.
Trying to use a combo box to determine the record selected does not work correctly.
The combo box is made up of 4 columns of "NAME", "COUNTRY", "ROLE" and "UNIQUE NUMBER"
Typing in the combo box auto fills in the NAME until the correct one is found. If the name is unique it opens on the form correctly. But if the name is not unique it does not always open the correct record.
Is there any way of being able to use the NAME to search through the combo box entries but use their unique number to determine the record selected.
A further problem arises as there are apostrophes in the NAME as well

The code I have is.
Code:
Private Sub Command26_Click()
If Forms![test site]![prp test].Form.[A Right Answer] = -1 Then
Forms![test site]![number correct] = Forms![test site]![number correct] + 1
End If
DoCmd.FindNext
End Sub
Then when clicked it checks a yes/no box to see if "A right Answer" is the correct yes. Then it should pop to the main form and take the number correct cell and add one to it. I am trying to get the record to go to the next record inside the sub-form but docmd.findnext seems to be wrong too.

I have buttons that enable and disable editing/adding information on a continuous form.
When you click add the form then is set to allowadditions and shows you the * record. Is it possible to have that display at the top of the list instead of the bottom? If not, what would be the best method to move the focus to the new record when someone clicks add?

Using ms access 2010, I created a table called all items contains the ID, item name, item code, item price.
Second table I created called orders, contains item1,Q1=quantity,Tot1=calculated field.
Then a form to fill the orders table with a combo box for Q1 (gets the value from a table called numbers), second combo box for item1 (gets the value item code and item price from the table all items), and a text box to calculate the total of the Q1-item1(item price) All working perfect except the combo box for item1 ends up displaying a different item code that's only if the items were at the same price, for example, I choose latte from the combo box gives me correct item price but the code is cappuccino, only happening with items with the same price.
If I set the property of the combo box Bound Column to 1, I get correct item code but calculation error, Bound Column to 2, I get correct calculations but wrong item code. how to get the combo box to display the correct item code?

I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?
