Modules & VBA :: Syncing Combo Boxes Which Are Also Lookup Values

May 1, 2015

I have two tables,

tbl_Retainer
tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding
tbl_Retainer has the field,
Retainer_ID

And tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding has the fields,
Retainer_ID (a lookup field from tbl_Retainer)
Agreement_Num (a lookup field from tbl_Grant)

I have a form based off of a query(not sure if that matters), that uses that tables, tbl_Assignment and tbl_Assignment_Grant_Funding. These tables have the above fields as lookup fields.

So...what happens is, if an Assignment has a Retainer, I want the Agreement_Num box to show only the Agreement_Num's associated with that Retainer, otherwise just show all the Agreement Num's.

In my form, I have Retainer_ID with the row source,
SELECT tbl_RETAINER.Retainer_ID FROM tbl_RETAINER;

And Agreement_Num with the row source,
SELECT [tbl_GRANT].Grant_ID, [tbl_GRANT].Agreement_Num FROM tbl_GRANT ORDER BY [Agreement_Num];

In my AfterUpdate event for Retainer_ID I have,

Private Sub Retainer_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim strSql As String
strSql = "SELECT [Retainer_ID]," & _
"[Agreement_Num]," & _
"FROM tbl_RETAINER_GRANT_FUNDING" & _
"WHERE [Retainer_ID] = " & Me.Retainer_ID.Value

Me.Agreement_Num.RowSource = strSql
Me.Agreement_Num.Requery
End Sub

When I am in my form and choose a Retainer ID, the Agreement_Num box goes blank, and there are no choices to choose from. I am wondering if this is because the Agreement_Num's are sourced from tbl_Grant and not from tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding.

College Student Needing Help With Lookup Combo Boxes

Mar 9, 2006

Hello people,

I'm not a programmer, I am infact a 17 year old College Student from the United Kingdom - Studying ICT!

For my major project I have to design, build and test a camera loans system for my photography department. Except, I am having problems with Combo box lookups. It's been over 6 months since I learnt this, and it's all a blank. Something as simple as this is simply not working...

e.g. in the Studentloans table, I wish to enter the Student ID number from the student ID card inside the combo box, and hit enter so that it brings up the relevant specific loans of that student.
I enter the id, hit enter and the student name, class etc does not change. Why? The same goes for my Camera Maintenance Table, Camera + Maintenance tables are combined to a CAMERAMAINTENANCE TABLE - Therefore I wish to enter the Camera ID number so that if i hit enter, it brings up the relevant service histories of that specific camera...

The relationships are all ok, the fields for Student ID are lookup, etc.

I don't understand. It's driving me insane. I need help with this, I'm struggling so much.

Help much appreciated.

Thanks - Neil.

Combo Box To Lookup Values In A Table

Nov 16, 2006

I have a small database with 3 tables.
tblBilltoCustomer
Fields - Key - BillCustID , companyname, address1, address2, city, state

tblOrders

tblCustomers

I have a form that has tblCustomers as the main form then tblOrders as a sub form.

I want to place a combo box on the form that will lookup a company name from the tblBilltoCustomer table then brin in the address1, address2, city,state , into the form for that record. But then I need that same info to print on a rpt.

I can get the lookup to work using =cboCompanyName.Column() but the addresses , city and state will not show on report
Is there any good samples of lookup fields

Any Ideas are greatly appreciated

(Help!) Query On Values In Combo Boxes

Jun 10, 2005

I just started using Access a couple weeks ago. I bought a couple books, have read some help stuff in forums webwide, but I am still stuck on the basics of how to do the following~ Please Help ~

My DB:
I have a single main table, in addition there are several mini-tables used to support combo boxes for form inputing.

My Mission:
It's been requested of me that My Main Switchboard have an option to lead to a secondary form where the end-user can "quick-filter" records to generate a table or report based upon dropdowns and check boxes for 9 different search variables- the data will then be pulled from the original data table based on the 9 choices (or less, as there will be often certain variables left blank).

My Questions:
1) how do I tie the values from the combo boxes in my new form to supportive queries? (perhaps a parameter query with a macro that searches that particular combo box for values??) - or is there a better way to do this?
2) how do I tie all those queries together so that some of the 9 choices can be blank, and of the others the assurance that they'll stack- or further refine the results.
3) one of the search criteria is Industry Sector. there is a mini-table to provide the values for the drop-down, but in the main table there are four columns in case a particular company falls into more than one sector. will this present any problem or can a query be easily tailored to search any of those four columns for that value?

I want to thank anyone who cares to help very much, in advance. I know my issues probably seem very simple, but I've been tasked this duty of learning Access and working the company's DB on my own. The "comprehensive" books that I've purchased haven't seemed to clarify this particular issue, so here I am. :o

Ghost Values In Combo Boxes In Form!

Dec 2, 2004

I have set up a nice timesheet form now with lots of help on this forum.


I have a form with a subform(1) which has another subform(2). The form is NOT in Data Entry mode, so users can select their name from the main form, the period from subform(1), and then enter/edit timesheet records in subform(2). In subform(2), I have some combo and text boxes for each record. The first is cboProjectSelect. Column(2) of the selection made in cboProjectSelect is entered into tboProject. Additionally, the selection made in cboProjectSelect filters another combo, cboWorkstream. The records are displayed in datasheet view (I know I've been advised against this, but I've had to do this, because the users want to see all records as they enter their timesheets)

All this work beautifully....for the first record. For some reason, when you enter any subsequent records, it blanks out the values in the tboProject and cboWorkstream boxes for all records! If you click in any of them, the correct value appears, if you click away, it disappears.

The proper records are being entered in the relevant queries and tables, so everything is working fine. It's just annoying that the boxes go blank!

Any idea if there is a way to ensure the values don't disappear?

thanks in advance.

Forms :: Filter Text Boxes By Two Combo Box Values?

Aug 6, 2013

I have a form with two combo boxes. The first box lists switch names from a query, and the second lists switchports from another query. The switchport query lists all the switchports for whatever switch is selected in the Switch Name combo box, and all the settings for that port (one column per setting). I want each text box to display the corresponding data from the switchport query for the switch selected in the first combo box and the switchport selected in the second combo box.

Forms :: Cascading Combo Boxes With Default Values

May 4, 2013

I've got a form (frmMain) with two combo boxes (cmbCategory and cmbProducts). I have set the combo boxes up to be cascading, so that when you select a value in the cmbCategory box, it influences what is visible and selectable in the cmbProducts box. What I wanted to happen is this:

1. User selects a category
2. cmbProducts defaults to the most recently entered Product within that category, and the form pulls up that product's details.

I have the cascading combo boxes set up so cmbCategory has an AfterUpdate event that runs a macro. In the macro is the command to refresh the cmbProducts box, and the cmbProducts box's RecordSource is set to a query that filters the Products based on the value of the cmbCategory box. I then set the cmbProducts Default Value to a DMax command that pulls the largest ID number from the query. Everything works great, except when I choose one category (the correct product comes up, the latest one entered for that product), then go back and choose a different category without reloading the form. The cmbProducts box stays showing the previous Product, and doesn't automatically update with the latest product for the new category. So it works the first time out of the gate, then just stops working, and won't work until I close and reopen the form again.

I've tried the refresh command, and I've tried adding an AfterChange event to the cmbCategories box. Nothing seems to work! I also tried running a close form/open form command in cmbProducts' After Update to enable the DMax command again, but this blanks out my Categories and Products boxes (which it's supposed to... I don't want anything to come up when you first open the form, both should be blank until you start selecting values).

General :: Cascade Combo Boxes With Duplicate Values

Jan 18, 2013

I'm trying to Identify a particular entry in my table for editing via combo boxes. The same serial number will come in multiple times but a different job number each time it comes in. To identify a record for editing I need the user to identify the serial number in combo1 and then the job # in combo2 (cascaded combo boxes).

The issue I'm running into is that combo1 has dozens of serial number duplicates (combo2 is acting as it should). When I change some settings around I'm able to get combo1 to eliminate duplicates but now combo2 only shows 1 job # when there should be dozens for that serial #. I need all like serial numbers to show their job # in combo2 and I have not had any luck surfing around the net/forums/experimenting.

I'm pretty sure I have to use a Junction Table but I haven't messed with that and I'm not 100% sure that's the best/only way to do it.

Modules & VBA :: Wildcard Search Of Combobox - Lookup Values In Table Column

Nov 19, 2014

I have a form which has a combobox called Task_Ref which looks up values in a table column.

I would like to be able to set the tickbox value of tickbox called P1 to True if the combobox contains the word "test", each entry on the combobox selection may vary such as:-

Test number 1
Yesterdays Test

As long as the word "Test" appears I would like the above to happen?

I was thinking of something along the lines of:-

If InStr(Task_Ref.Value, "Test") > 0 Then
P1.Value = True
Else
P1.Value = False
End If
End Sub

But this hasn't worked

Filtering Lookup Value Based On Other Lookup Values

Jul 27, 2015

I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".

Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.

Modules & VBA :: Filtering Form With Combo Boxes

Sep 19, 2013

I'm attempting to filter my form with combo boxes. I've added the below code, but the if statement that checks if one of the combo boxes is null won't work. If the combo box is null or "", it's supposed to assign a wildcard to the variable. But it doesn't pass the test and goes straight to the Else statement. I've highlighted the if statement that keeps failing in red.

Code:
Private Sub btn_Search_Click()
'create variables to store the combo box values
Dim str_Country As String
Dim str_Vendor As String
Dim str_Survey As String

Modules & VBA :: Using Two Combo Boxes To Determine Value For A Textbox

Sep 17, 2013

I have a form designed to update content on a website. I'm trying to work out how to populate fields with entries from past dates.

I have set up two combo boxes for each 'spot' on the site, one for date: Feature_1_Date and one for which content spot the content was occupying Feature_1_Spot.

The idea being that these boxes would read the row from my table to find the date, and the column to find which spot the content did occupy to copy the same content into a field Feature_1_Content

From what I can gather I need to use DLOOKUP (I'm very familiar with VLOOKUP on excel) but I'm doing something very wrong as can't get it to show any content.

I have three nested forms that is Form3 is withing Form2 that is within Form1 (in reality = 1 Form and 2 subforms cascaded).

I want to select a value from Combo1, that will further brings the values in Form2, and then further filter the values in Form3. If the three combos were on the same form, I wouldn't have an issue.

Modules & VBA :: Invoicing Database - Synchronized Combo Boxes

Dec 24, 2013

I'm developing an Invoicing database (which I've attached a sanitized copy) where I'd like to have an invoice number combo box show only invoices relevant to the client previously selected in the client name combo box.

I downloaded an example from Microsoft's templates website (which I've also attached), and I thought this would be a simple task.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I figure it's something simple.

I'd prefer to use vba; I really don't want to use macros.

Modules & VBA :: Restrict Value In Lookup Field To Only Include Values From Table B Not In Table A?

Feb 2, 2014

I have a database that has 2 tables. Table A and Table B. Table A is my primary table. On this table I have 2 fields. The first field is a LOOKUP Field that looks up information from Table B and displays my selection in the field on Table A. Then using DLOOKUP I automatically input the information in the Second Field on Table A based upon the selection from the First Field.

This is working mostly correctly. However, the problem is, when I click on the next record in the table, it automatically changes the Second Field on that record to the same value as the record before it and continues this trend each time I click on another record. This occurs without me making a selection in the first field. If I make a selection in the first field it does change the Second Field to the Correct Value, but then the next Record has the same issue.

How do I go about fixing this so it doesn't change the value with the change of the record. Only change if I change that particular field within that 1 record?is there a way to restrict the Value's in my lookup field to only include the Values from Table B that aren't already in Table A?

Forms :: Default Values Disappear If Put Values In Text Boxes

Sep 17, 2013

In Access 2010 I have a Data Entry Form on which I have an unbound textbox in the header that the user can put a default date in. In the body of the form is a bound textbox that records the date and the default value is set as =defaultdatestat (obviously the name of the box in the header).

Problem: The default date shows up perfectly until a value is put in any of the other text boxes.

For further info : If you put values in text boxes default value disappears; if you then push escape the default value reappears when the values in the text boxes disappear.

General :: Auto Populated Text Boxes To Display Rows From Combo Boxes

Jan 25, 2015

I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.

In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".

Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:

Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)

And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).

Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.

I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.

Queries :: Multiple Combo Boxes And Text Boxes On A Search Form

Mar 24, 2014

I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
