I found a snippet of code online that I'm trying to use in an asset tagging database I'm developing, but I'm struggling to get it working. To start, I have a multi-column ComboBox that displays information in this format:
When you select an asset to be assigned to an employee, the ComboBox displays only the asset number (e.g., 1001). While that information is pertinent to our I.T. group, when Human Resources goes to collect an asset from an employee, they don't want to be taking cases off of phones or tablets to verify they have the correct asset number. They want to see the person has an iPhone5s and an iPad2 that they have to collect. So, what I'm trying to accomplish in my VBA is to have access read all the asset numbers and provide the descriptions of those items in another field.
The code I have so far is:
Dim ctl As ComboBox
Dim varItm As Variant, str As String
str = ""
Set ctl = Me.Combo217
For Each varItm In ctl.ItemsSelected
str = ctl.Column(2, varItm) & ","
Next varItm
Me.Text207.Value = str
Since this is code is something I found online, I'm not sure why I can't get it to work. I've never worked with the Variant declaration, but I think this may be where the code is breaking because whenever I remove the "For Each...Next", the code correctly assigns the value of column 2 of my very first row to my text box (Text207). Everything I've seen looks as though I don't have to declare varItm because it's function is to represent the rows that are checkmarked for ctl.ItemsSelected.
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.
I'm really new to Access and using Office 2007. Comfortable with SQL but have no idea about VBA. How do I get the form to query multi-selections? For example if you download the attachment here and refer to "Form1", let's say the user multiselects BK and McD's for Vendor, burger for Food, and Coke for Beverage. It should be spitting out 3 records but instead spat out an empty table. I tied my last query "query2" with "Form1" to make them work hand-in-hand which filters the master table "Fast Food". Would I need to tweak the syntax seen in the "Criteria:" cells of "query2" to make them read in multiselections?
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.
Hello friends, Please can anyone tell me how i can make the selections in my combo box (combo is bound to column1 of a table) appear in ascending order, by name (column2). I.e. It's bound by column 1 (with is the Id#), but i want it to appear in ascending by column 2 (Usernames) to make selections easier. Please help :)
I have a form that has 3 combo boxes and a text box that I want to be a lookup. I have a little experience with DLookUp, but I do not think that will work here. The three combo boxes are linked to queries, and Tables. The first combo box is for choosing "Precious" or "Base" metals. The second combo box is filtered from the first and displays the "Metal Names". The third combo box is to choose a "Metal Market". There are currently four options for that. I want the text box to display the "Metal Market Price" based on the second and third combo box selections.
Here is a screenshot of the table with all of the metals and their market prices filled in with dummy values for now:

Here is a screenshot of the relevant Form: Metals form screenshot.PNG
Here is a screenshot of the Table that relates to the relevant form: Metals table design.PNG
Here is a screenshot of the Metal Market table that the Query is based on: Metal Market Table.PNG
I would like to create a combobox on a form in which a user has three selections: negative, positive, other.
If negative is chosen a textbox auto-populates with "none detected". If positive is chosen the text box populates with "positive" and If other is selected the text box populates with "unspecified".
Using Access 2007. I have a form (Broker), with a combobox (cboClassifier), that I use to select 1 of 4 phrases, display the selected phrase and color the field with a color that I've assigned to each phrase.
Next, I have a report that contains all of the Broker names, addresses, etc. based on a query (qryBroker). I need the vba or whatever that colors the matching records based on the phrase selected by the combobox on the form, when the report is opened.
I have a form called frmNotInvoicedSearch and on that form i have an list box called listCompanyClient populated with our client's names.I then have a command button called cmdOK that brings up a search results form called frmNotInvoicedSearchResults.
Currently i can select one of the records and when i click ok it brings up the search results for that selected record.Is there a way that i can hold in the ctrl and select multiple options and the search results report as such?
I am trying to get my VBA to filter the subform, as currently it does nothing! I have copied it from a source on another forum and at the end of the VBA it originally opened up the query.
However I am trying to tailor this query so that instead of it opening the query I can have a datasheet on the form that displays the filtered records..
There are 3 multiselect listboxes
Here is my code
' This code uses ADO and ADOX and is suitable for Access 2000 (and later). ' A reference must be set to Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.7 for DDL and Security. Private Sub cmdOK_Click() Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command Dim qry As ADOX.View
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?
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 have got an unbound multiple list box called List44 (Row Source: query based on table tblAircraftCategory, Multi Select - Extended) that needs to be passing parameters to my main query called AircraftSearch2. The multiple choice list box have the following fields:
1. Piston 2. Turbo Prop 3. Entry Level Jet 4. Light Jet 5. Super Light Jet 6. Midsize Jet 7. Super Midsize Jet 8. Heavy Jet 9. Ultra Long Range 10. Helicopter 11. Air Ambulance 12. Cargo 13. Vip Airliner 14. Airliner
The user will use the form for selecting search criteria (the form is called SearchForm2 and has 5 combo boxes, 3 text boxes and one multiple choice list box).
I'm very new to access and need to modify (or coding a separate module) my query to include my multiple choice list box in my query?
I have a training matrix that lists employee names and certifications on various operations. The objective is to choose an operation and run a query to display everyone who is certified on that op. There are additional variables.
Code: Name EMP ID OP1 OP2 OP3 OP4 OP5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Doe 526261 C C C Bob Doe 555622 C C C Sheila Doe 066600 C C C
Okay that looks about right for the data itself. The listbox has all the ops, you choose an op and hit a button and it goes and finds everyone who has a 'C' in that op column and pulls their record.
I have a listbox which is populated by a query from a table.
I also have a sub which allows users to quickly select multiple items from the listbox (based on a pre-defined criteria) rather than scrolling through and selecting them manually / individually
The sub works fine but when it is finished, the listbox is automatically scrolled to the bottom (or, rather, to the last selected item)
I would like to have the listbox scroll back to the very top once all of the appropriate items have been selected.
(I could loop through the listbox items in reverse - or 'bottom-up' - in the code but that would only have the desired effect if the topmost item was selected. I want it scrolled to the top regardless of whether the topmost item is selected or not).
I have two fields in a table that have multiple values. Example:
Field A:
CT, CA, PA
Field B:
CT, CA
I want to compare the two fields and indicate that there is a match because in this example CT and CA are in both fields. I would like to create a function. I'm not sure if I would have to use something with like or create a loop.
I have two listboxes. One for Activities and the other for Organizations.
I set the Org listbox to be multi-select so I could run a loop on that listbox to join multiple Orgs to a single Activity. That part works well.
To do so, I am using the bound column (which is the pkey value) from the multi select listbox, and on the single select listbox I'm using the ListboxName.value to gather the pkey for the "1" side of this 1:Many series of inserts.
Now... I want to use one of the other-than-bound-column value from the multi-select listbox, but I don't know how. When setting a value I only know of the use of :
yes, I just made that up, but I hope you get the point. Meaning, as the loop cruises the ItemsSelected on the multiselect I'd like to use other than the bound column when setting variables.
I've tried using the column property to then cruise to the proper record in the listbox, e.g. :
But this seems to return the column(2) value of the first record loaded into the list box, as if the varItem piece is being ignored. I believe the loop is working properly, as when the inserts are happening correctly with the bound column of the multi-select list is correctly present as an Fkey in the resulting child records.
I just can't get any other column's value for some reason.
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 have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how to make this work.
I have three tables.
tblIntakeMain [IntakeMainID]
tblIncidentDetails [IncidentdeatailsID]
tblPersonnel [PersonnelID]
On the main form I use subforms to link tblIncidentDetails and tblPersonnel to tblIntakeMain. Both subforms can, and do, have many entries. This all works fine. What is not working is the search form I am using.
I am using Gromits most excellent Search Form. The problem is when I create a query, qSearch, to bring together the three tables I get a multiple records which makes the searches very confusing and near useless. Is there anyway around this? Is there something I am missing? Is there another search method I could use that would work in a similar way as Gromits? Please help before the Prozac runs out and I lose my mind--what little it left.
Hi everyone. Apologies if this has come up before, but the search terms I've tried here and on google keep turning up the wrong information.
At work I manage a large database with many tables. It stores data for participants in a research study. Each table stores the data for a different test, so one participant may have multiple records. Primary keys for these tables are defined by a combination of the participant and date of test fields. (Everything is dependent upon a table that stores the static info for participants, so the database is normalized.)
I want to be able to make a table that lists target participants and dates, and then create a query that looks at this table and pulls all the available data from various tables for those individuals that was recorded within one year of the target dates.
I've successfully made queries that meet these criteria while pulling data from only one table. The problem I'm having is that when I try to pull from multiple tables, each with it's own date field that needs to be used as a criterion, I end up excluding almost all the data, because most of the target participants do not have all the requested data within the target dates.
I've tried being inclusive with my criteria (using ORs), but then I end up with tons of data that I don't want and I need to filter through it, which defeats the purpose of the query.
Any advice on handling this issue, or do I basically just need to create a separate query for each table?
I'm sorry if this is too vague, but it's illegal for me to upload any of my own dataset. I could probably come up with an example if it's helpful, though.
i have created a MultiSearch query witch puts my results in a list box.under it i have created a button wich i want to use to print a report with the criteria i select from my list box if there is more than one result.
Following is the Code i used for my button
On Error GoTo Err_Command60_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "ReportLable" stLinkCriteria = "[ProductID]=" & Me![SearchResults] DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria Exit_Command60_Click: Exit Sub Err_Command60_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Command60_Click
Every time u press the button i get a message syntax error(missing Operator) in query expression
Now i have not used any code in my Query except for
Like "*" & [forms]![frmSearchFor]![SrchText] & "*"
I have a search form with blank fields tied to a table, four criteria search boxes, and a button to take the input from the search boxes, search the table, and populate the results on the form's blank fields. As of now, it works as long as all four criteria boxes aren't null.I used filters to achieve this, and here's the code that works as long as all four boxes are not empty. (My criteria boxes are as follows: a textbox called "Keyword" and three combo boxes called HRCombo, BuildingCombo, and RoomCombo, and the fields they're tied to are as follows: "Item Description" "HR Holder" "Building" "Room") My first line "Me.Filter = ..." was broken up to make it easier to view.
I need it to be able to do the search no matter which combination of criteria boxes have input. Someone recommended using if statements to do the following: Create four strings, one for each criteria box. Use 4 if statements to check if the box is null - if it is null, assign an asterisk to its string, and if its not null, assign the value I used for the above Me.Filter statement to each box's string. Then, use Me.Filter and concatenate the four strings at the end. Here's the code I used for this, and, with my limited knowledge, I can't get it to work.
Code:
Dim StrA as String, StrB as String, StrC as String, StrD as String If Me.Keyword is null then StrA = "*" else StrA = [Item Description] Like " & Chr(34) & Me.Keyword & "*" & Chr(34) End If
I have a problem in multi user enviroment, with finding and locking a record in database.When one user finds, blocks and edit record ... another user in the same time can find the same record and overwrite it (User and Status values). It is just like he didn't see the changes making by another user.Each user have a copy of the front-end, back-end is on the shared disk.Here is the code to find new record:
Code: ... Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblTable1", dbOpenDynaset) rs.FindFirst "[Status]='New' And [User] Is Null" ws.BeginTrans rs.LockEdits = True rs.Edit rs![User] = username rs![Status] = "Assigned" rs.Update ws.CommitTrans rs.Close
