Multi-Column Combo-box Won't Bresk Down In Text Boxes
Aug 16, 2005
My form's 10 column combo-box (based on a query) won't break into text cells. Some of the columns contain numbers, some test, some phone #s. All columns show when I click the Combo-box in Form View. Access Help File said to put:
=Forms!Customers!CompanyName.Column(1) in the ControlSource for the text cell. Tried that and was returned #Name? for any of the fields in which I tried it.
My expression was:
=frmSpartanStudentBehaviorLog!Last_FirstUC.Column (3)
The other properties in combo-box are set correctly: ColumnCount=10, Column Widths are correct.
I also tried the expression:
=Last_FirstUC.Column(2) but got the same result #Name?
I'm baffled. As a very new user, I'll appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

How do I select the first column of a multi-column list box (called "List1") for a query.
A single column list box works fine.
Code:
SELECT Tble_Employee.Emp_No, [forms]![attendee_form]![list1] AS SelectedCourse
FROM Tble_Employee;

I have a combo box with 5 columns. When I click it I want to display columns 1 to 4, together with the headings. But after making my selection, I want column 5 stored in the field.
How can I do that? Currently it is storing column 1.
Thanks,
Dave

I have 6 combo boxes on a form, which call a report based on a query. The idea is that the user can query data 6 different way. How do I/ or the user know which one is actually running first. Would the order left to right make a difference? (None have sort ascending or descending)

Hi All,
I'm a noobie with Access, and on my form which displays Account information, I also want to display the multiple Addresses this account can have. I can't find any type of scrollable text box (something to look like a spreadsheet), and I know it's not a list box I need to use.
How do I create this and what is it called? I tried using a data grid but I dont think that is it either :confused:
Also, my scrolling text icon on the toolbox is greyed out, not sure why.
Please help!
Thanks,
Mike

I have combo boxes that contain attorney names and phone numbers. The attorney name is what is filled into the field when a selection is made from the combo box into the form. The phone number is just there for the occasions that the person managing the data in the database needs to call that attorney. Just a quicker way instead of having to go to another form to find the phone number. I created a query to combine the first and last name to one field (FullName) and this is where the combo box gets it's info.
When I run the query, the phone number is shown formatted as I want it to ((###)###-####), but in the combo box in the form, the phone number has no format to it. What I need to do to get the phone number to show up formatted in the combo box list?

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.

I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

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):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts
2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators
3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports
5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource
8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry
9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory
10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators
12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
SELECT AircraftOperators.RegistrationNumber, AircraftOperators.PassengersNumber, AircraftOperators.ManufactureYear, AircraftOperators.EmailToOperator, AircraftOperators.ExteriorPhoto, AircraftOperators.InteriorPhoto, tblListOfAircraftOperators.OpratorName, tblAircrafts.AircraftType
FROM tblAircrafts INNER JOIN (tblAirports INNER JOIN (AircraftOperators INNER JOIN tblListOfAircraftOperators ON AircraftOperators.CompanyName =
[code]....

I have an access project that I am working on and need to be able to select multiple items from a listbox and have the exact selections appear in a textbox on the same form. I have looked around and have not been able to find any code that works.
I have tried:
Me.user2 = Me.slct_auditor.Column(0, 1)
Me.user3 = Me.slct_auditor.Column(0, 2)
Me.user4 = Me.slct_auditor.Column(0, 3)
Me.user5 = Me.slct_auditor.Column(0, 4)
Me.user6 = Me.slct_auditor.Column(0, 5)
Me.user7 = Me.slct_auditor.Column(0, 6)
Me.user8 = Me.slct_auditor.Column(0, 7)
but when skipping the first item in the listbox it is still passed as into the textbox.

there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.

Another quick request:
What would the code be for a button which clears the contents of a text box or a combo box on a form?

Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!

I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D

May I start by saying Hi and that im just embarking on understanding Access 2003. I do know a little about DB as I have built programs in VB6 using databases. But now onto my problem which seems a simple one.
I have a Db called delivery. With columns as below. Mtno being the key.
Mtno Orderno Description Quantity Customer
I populate a combo box with Mtno, but on the click event of the combo box i wish to populate textboxs from the other columns.
Code used.
Private Sub Combo0_Click()
Me!text2 = Combo0.Column(1)
Me!text3 = Combo0.Column(2)
End Sub
text2 gets populated and updates on the click event of the combo box but text3 doesnt. Niether do the other text boxes when I put the code in.
Help me understand this please.

Tony

Hello I hope someone can help me on this one.
This is something I am not getting an understanding on and need some help.
I made a form that holds all information for our customers.
I want to make the Company Name box into a combo box so when I change the
Company Name in the combo box it populates all the text boxes on the form with
the correct data.
I for the life of me do not know where/how to even start to do this.
I would attach my database but I cant seem to get the file small enough. I have deleted the large table and it is still 7megs. How do I get it small enough to attach it?
Thanks for the help.

:confused: I have a combo box on a form that is used for data entry that allows the user to pick the date. This is based on a table that includes date, week ending date and month, all very specific for our business. I used a function that says Me.txtBox=ComboBox.Column1 for example. So my combo box would include all the information, and all but the actual date is not visible. I want this to feed into another table that will be used for reporting, and that table has the same fields of date, week ending date and month. I keep getting an error saying that the value selected from the combo box doesn't fit the criteria, and I believe what is going on is that it is taking all the fields instead of just the date. Any suggestions how I can still have the text boxes update if I only have the date in the combo box?:confused:

I need to populate a text box with data from a single cell contained in a table.Im hoping to use two combo boxes that when selected will select the cell. The combo boxes select data sources from the same table. One combo the row the second the column. One combo is already in use and populates several fields in the form. In the same form I'd like to place the second combo and beneath it have a text box that will populate with that cell detail.

I've searched for this everywhere but I haven't yet found a solution, even though I'm sure it should be pretty simple.
I have 2 combo boxes: cboMonth, cboDay
and a text field: txtYear
cboMonth has values: Jan-Dec
cboDay has values: 1-31
After selecting the combo boxes and entering the year, I want the result to be displayed in a text box, with the format of Long Date.
How is this accomplished?
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I have a form that has several text boxes that correspond to a cell in a row. One of the columns contains just numbers 1-300. Now what I need is a combo box that contains the numbers 1-300 and when one of those numbers is selected I need it to import all the information from the same row into the correct text boxes.
For example when the number 3 is selected it will take the row with the number 3 in it, take all of the cells and import them into the right text box.
Thanks a bunch!

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.

I am creating a query that should filter records of events based on multiple fields. The filters should work with any combination of field criteria, but only two of the four field are working properly, as follows:
1. a text box for searching with event name (free text) - this is working;
2. a combo box to filter events by country name - this is working;
3. a combo box to filter events by event's keyword (category) - this is NOT working;
4. a combo box to filter events by year - this is NOT working

GOAL: select the IC number from the combo box and have 5 text boxes auto fill.
I have a table made for the IC number drop down. The columns represent the fields that need to be auto filled.
Making some kind of query to link the combo box entry to the text boxes? Some VBA where the control source is equal to my query? I have tried changing the text box control source to equal columns from my drop down but that did not work.
NOTE: the blue font in the first image represents the text boxes that need to auto fill when I select the IC number from the drop down. The second image is my table from which my combo box is generated. The acronyms are for the two tests on this form.

I have a form that our operators use to do their hourly quality audits on. This is getting to be a huge burden on them because right now, they enter the date, the week ending date, the month every time they have to do an entry, and for me it is a nightmare because they can still enter the wrong information. So, what I was wondering is if there is a way that I can have them select the date from a combo box (easy enough), but from that, have the week ending date and the month fields automatically update as well. Any advice? I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much!!!!
