I would like to create a form that my users can select multiple check boxes from and have only those records that meet the criteria come up in a search.
See attachment for a look at the form.
I need to be able to let the user have the ability to put in a name and then select any of the check boxes and then click on a search button that will execute a query that will bring up the results.
Any help with code or at least a point in the right direction would be nice.
I have a form which contains a multi select list box of team leaders. Unbound getting source from tl table. Based on one or more selection from user I want to run query that brings up those team leaders. When I have multi select to none in list box and select one to the query works fine. When I change it to simple or expanded it shows nothing. I have query criteria to get data from form list box.
I am very new to Access (I started two weeks ago). One problem I am having is I have a multiselect box on a form in Access 2010 and I want to base the value of a text box on the user's selection. However I would like the textbox to just be based on one of the choices and to allow the user to select any other of the choices along side this selection. How would I input this into the code?The line of code I am interested in looks like:
If Me.Reasons_For_Choosing_Physics.Column(2) = "No other ideas" Then..Could I add something like "No other ideas" + "(*)" to allow other selections alongside "No other ideas"?
I have a multi slect list box (simple) and I need to find and select an item using vba - e.g., the bound column is the ID field and I need to select a specific ID (which will be different each time) as opposed to selecting the 100th record for example. How do I do this?
Hi, is there any (reasonably simple) way to select or deselect multiple items from the List Box with individual clicks without using Ctrl key. Eg first click on an item would select it leaving all other items as they are, subsequent click on the already selected item would deselect it etc. I hope this is not too confusing and I would appreciate some help. Thanks!
i have a multiselect listbox in my form. The multiselectlistbox contains the names of different persons from tblUsers. it's allready possible to write the id's of the names to another table (tblPresent).
But what I can't manage to do is re-select the values in another multiselect listbox. This multiselectlistbox is located on my editform. I can display the values using a valuelistbox, but i need to see the non-selected items too..
I am looking to see if anyone can help i have been able to get the multi select function part of my form working but i need another filter in the query for a date but it keeps deleting this part of the query everytime i run the report what i need to be able to do is get all jobs against a specific leadcraft that are in the past and also 31 days into the future.

here is the sql so far, thanks to those who helped already.

I have multiple codes assigned to records in a table. I want to be able to say IIf [code] = "FMIX",[qty]*2.2046/7.1, IIf [code] = "Liqd", [qty]*2.2046 and everything else can just equal [qty]. I have tried this statment Expr1: IIf([family-code]="FMIX",[SumOfqty-on-hand]*2.2046 IIf([family-code]="LIQD",<[SumOfqty-on-hand]*2.2046>,[SumOfqty-on-hand]),[SumOfqty-on-hand]) and it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
Hi, This is my first posting on this forum, and I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue...
I have a form that is used for entering information into tables. I would like to be able to select multiple options from a list on a form and have it saved into a table. Any ideas? Is this even possible :confused:
Here are some paths I followed: The table has a List Box field, type Text, that gets values for the list items from another table. On the form, I have changed the Multi-Select property of the List Box to "Extended" so that the user can select multiple items from the list. But when I select items from the List Box, the table is not getting updated with the selected items.
Another way I tried doing this: The table has a List Box field that has no values (I'm not looking up values from another table). On the form, I set the Row Source of the List Box equal to the query that gets the list values from a table. I then set the Multi-Select property to "Extended". When I select multiple items from the List Box, the table doesn't get updated.
FYI: The control source for the list box on the form is pointing to the field in the table.
Is there any way to have a Multi-Select Combo Box fill a single field in a table? I've been messing with this for some time now and just can't seem to figure it out.
I have two questions regarding a multi-select list box.
First, is there any way to have the list box include multi-line items...or which will scroll beyond the right border of the box?
Second, I have a multi-select list box which is populated with an ID # column and a Description column. The user can select as many items from the list box as needed and, as the list box item is clicked, the ID # is added to a memo field on the form, with each ID # delineated with a coma. Is it possible to separate the memo field back out so that each item is identified individually (for report purposes)?
Thanx so much for your help with this...you guys/gals are simply the best!
I have a dialog box where the users can filter a report by various combo boxes that works well. I'm trying to add a multiselect lis box option for one of the combo boxes and have added code which I've also used before. Together the code is looping through and opening the report without a problem, except it's not filtering by the options selected in the list box. Here's what I've got:
If Left(Me![cboSupplier].Column(0), 1) = "*" Or Right(Me![cboSupplier].Column(0), 1) = "*" Then where = where & " AND [qssupp] Like " + Me![QSSupp].Column(0) Else where = where & " AND [qssupp]=" + Me![cboSupplier].Column(0) End If
If Left(Me![cboPartNo].Column(0), 1) = "*" Or Right(Me![cboPartNo].Column(0), 1) = "*" Then where = where & " AND [partID] Like " + Me![PartID].Column(0) Else where = where & " AND [PartID]=" + Me![cboPartNo].Column(0) End If
For Each varItem In cboStatus.ItemsSelected If strCondition = "" Then strCondition = "[odstatusid] = " & cboStatus.Column(0, varItem) Else strCondition = strCondition & " OR [odstatusid] = " & cboStatus.Column(0, varItem) End If Next varItem
Set QD = db.CreateQueryDef("Dynamic_Query", _ "Select * from qryWeeklyOrderStatusRpt " & (" where " + Mid(where, 6) & ";")) If (DCount("*", "Dynamic_Query") = 0) Then MsgBox "There are no records to print" Exit Sub End If
I have a problem that I haven't seen discussed here yet. (I know this is not good practice, but we're doing this for transfer to another application that wants and accepts data this way)
1) I have a multi select list box. 2) I have code that saves all the values in a semi colon delimeted list in a single field in the DB. (As I said, the application that this data is going to (and from) wants and accepts data in this way)
3) My problem is this. When I re-open my form, how do I get the values that are stored in the database to be highlighted in the multi select list box. I have code similar to this running, but still can't figure it out.
Dim lst() As String
rst.Open sSQL, cnn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic lst = Split(rst(0), vbCrLf, -1) 'Split the recordset into an array For i = 0 To List96.ListCount For j = 0 To UBound(lst) 'lopp until the upper bound of the array
'If the item in the list box = the item in the array then highlight the item in the list box If List96.ItemData(i) = lst(j) Then List96.ItemsSelected(i) = True End If Next j Next i
In a nutshell, that's the problem. My list box contains a list of about 5 or 6 things, the user can select any number of them, and I store it in a single field in the DB semi colon delimited. However, I don't know how to return that field to my list box with the selected values highlighted. IE if the list contains A, B, C, D and the user selected A, C the field in the DB looks like this A;C. When I open the form again, I want to highlight A and C in my list box since those were the fields the user selected.
What happens is A;C gets passed to another application (which wants it that way). However, in that other application those values may or may not change, and then they will be passed back to me. (IE the other application may change those values to A;B;D and pass it back to me (which I accept no problem). However, when the user opens the form I want A B and D to be highlighted in the multi select list box
I am using a Multi Select List Box to display a list of names from a table, in order to select e-mail recipients. The names are in two fields: [Main]![First Name] and [Main]![Surname].
I have done this by using the following code for the rowsource:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Main![e-mail], Main![First Name], Main!Surname FROM Main;
This gives a rather undesired effect, in that shorter first names have a large gap before the surname. In addition, there is a dull separating line between the two columns, thus:
Jane | Smith Bartholomew | Simpson
My questions:
Is it possible to arrange the names so they appear in one column, with a space between them? (i.e. they would appear as written) If not, can I get rid of the separating line?
hello! i'm trying to select more than one value in a listbox based on a comma-seperated string in a textbox. it seems to be doing what it's supposed to do, except it's only selecting the last value it loops through. it doesn't seem to remember the others. there's probably an easier way to do this than how i did it, but here is the code:
Code:Dim lst As ListBoxDim lngCount As LongDim strSelection As StringDim strNewSelection As StringDim intLen As IntegerDim lngLen As LongstrNewSelection = ""strSelection = Me.Text19.ValueWhile InStr(1, strSelection, ",") <> 0strSelection = Trim(strSelection)lngLen = Len(strSelection)intLen = InStr(1, strSelection, ",")strNewSelection = Left(strSelection, intLen - 1)Set lst = Me!List0lst.RowSource = lst.RowSourceFor lngCount = 0 To lst.ListCount - 1 If lst.Column(0, lngCount) = strNewSelection Then lst.Selected(lngCount) = True Exit For End IfNext lngCount strSelection = Right(strSelection, lngLen - intLen)Wend
have a query that works fine when I have to select one parameter, however I don't know how to select multi parameters...In this query I would like to able to select as well as the specific 'POSTITION' value Also 'BASE' and all those parameters that have a check box empty or full.
Code: SELECT tblCrewMember.StaffNumber, tblCrewMember.Surname, tblCrewMember.Name, tblCrewMember.Position, tblCrewMember.Base, tblCrewMember.Nationality, tblCrewMember.StartingDate, tblCrewMember.Resined, tblCrewMember.ResinedDate, tblCrewMember.Birthday, tblCrewMember.IDCrewMember, [GroupBy] AS Expr1 FROM tblCrewMember WHERE ((([GroupBy])=[Position])) ORDER BY tblCrewMember.StaffNumber;
I use access to gather information on testing that is conducted at my company. In the database I designed I set up a multiselect list box for when the people who conducted the test can check off the test equipment that they used. I did this because at anytime any number of different items can be used. Though I don't think we have ever used more then 10 test items. The reason for tracking the items that were used is if they, when out for yearly calibration, come back out of spec we can look at what tests used that equipment. As I further develop my system, I am starting to ask for more information from the requesters. I would like them to be able to check off what individual items are in the item being tested. Creating that list isn't the hard part for me.
My question comes in here. I know that using a multiselect list box is frowned upon as they can be sloppy to deal with when looking to extract data. Being as I am looking to expand my database, I was looking for what to do. I would still like to give the option of a multiselect list box, but should I create more fields and have the items used put into these new fields? Should I do the same for equipment that is used for the testing. If not and the list box is ok, how best to go through all the records to gather what ones used the specified equipment?
I have a simple question that I know will have a very complex answer
You have two sets of tables with identical structures. The first set contains data that is a model for the second set. The users run queries that append data to the second set of tables
Here is an example of the structure TblSourceOne SourceOneID SourceOneData
The user adds a record to the main table (TblTargetOne) then uses an append query to add all of the applicable records from TblSourceTwo to TbleTargetTwo
So now the user has a data model in TblSourceTwo which has been “copied” to TblTargetTwo
Next for each record in TblSourceTwo that has been copied to TblTargetTwo that has daughter records in TblSourceDetails another query is executed to copy all of the pertinate records to the TblTargetDetails
Now the user has completely copied all of the necessary record for both table.
Finely the question
How can I use a multiselect list box to achieve this in one operation? I don’t care if it includes running multiple queries but it needs to appear as one single operation to the user.
I am just starting out in Access Development. I have a database that runs a logistics department. This was working fine until the users wanted a little more tweaking.
The report prints out the vehicles with all corresponding drops. This comes out all on sheet.
Is there a way that I can create a form to filter the report via a multi select listbox and print each drop selected on a seperate sheet of paper.
I'm using the following code to filter a report by using a multi-select box.
Code: Private Sub cmdOpenReport_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenReport_Click
Dim strWhere As String Dim ctl As Control Dim varItem As Variant
[code]....
I have a report that contains a subreport. The report is simply an image of a word document. The subreport will contain the actual data.When I open the subreport, the IN query works perfectly. When I open the main report, I only get the first record listed in the IN query. I have the master/child links set properly.
I created a form that has 3 multiple drop-down selections that is supposed to select records from [TableName_1] based on those selections. I initially created the query using the query designer with actual "hard coded" selections to make sure it worked. When it gave me the expected records, I changed the criteria from the "hard coded" option to the input form's control reference [Forms]![FormName]![ComboName]. I did this one at a time and tested after each change.
After the first change, I got exactly what I expected.
After the second change, it seemed okay. (note: I put the criteria on the first criteria line in the query designer, not on the second line)
After the third change, I get the dreaded: The expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated....
Here is the SQL:
SELECT M_Lending_Institution.InstitutionName, M_Lending_Institution.GeoRegionID, M_Lending_Institution.SpecialtyID, M_Lending_Institution.SBA FROM (SELECT M_Lending_Institution.InstitutionName, M_Lending_Institution.GeoRegionID, M_Lending_Institution.SpecialtyID, M_Lending_Institution.SBA FROM M_Lending_Institution) AS LenderSearchQuery WHERE (((LenderSearchQuery.GeoRegionID.Value)=[Forms]![LoanSearch]![CmbPrefGeo]) AND ((LenderSearchQuery.SpecialtyID)=[Forms]![LoanSearch]![CmbSpecialtyArea]) AND ((LenderSearchQuery.SBA)=[Forms]![LoanSearch]![CmbSBA]));
And once this is sorted out, yes I want to be able to allow for all records to be returned if any of those fields is NULL. I've read a LOT of posts around this subject, but I can't seem to find anything that answers my question without jumping into advanced VBA code.
I am running MS Access 2010 on Windows XP and my access skills are limited.
So I have a db with tables, forms and reports and would like to give my users the option of opening a filtered report (from a form).
The form (frmSelectStatus) and report (rptStatus) have been created and both open correctly by normal selection from the 'All Access Objects' side bar.
frmSelectStatus has a multi-select list box (lstStatus) and a command button (cmdStatus). When I click cmdStatus i get the correct report opening but it is all status records and not filtered by the selection made in lstStatus - and i know this is a result of not referencing 'lstStatus' in the code. i also have a query (qryStatus) which does not contain anything.
My 'on-click' code for cmdStatus is
Private Sub cmdSelect_Click() DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryStatus", acViewNormal, acEdit DoCmd.OpenReport "rptStatus", acViewReport DoCmd.Close acQuery, "qryStatus" End Sub
I know I need to reference 'lstStatus' but am not sure where or how to do that in the code.
I am having a form that has a listbox, which brings up a lot of records, and the user may choose multiple records, but when user wants to scroll down the page to multi select, he cant do it with the ctrl keyboard button, when he press ctrl the page jumps back up, is there any workaround for that?
I recently have ontained some responsibilies from a coworker who has left the company.
I have frmEdgeReport which uses ratio buttons to populate the
multiselect listbox .. this all works.. now i need to add date ranges and
Everything I do seems to screw up what I already have working..
I have added two textboxes - txtStartDate and txtEndDate.
Currently I am getting error when i put the SELECT statement in its own query that says "Invalid SQL Statement; expected 'DELETE', 'INSERT', 'PROCEDURE', 'SELECT', OR 'UPDATE'."
and when I just run my form I am getting an error that says "Error 3142 - Characters found after end of SQL statement"
this is what i have so far :
Private Sub SetReport() On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box. Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items Dim strWhere As String 'String to use as WhereCondition Dim strDescrip As String 'Description of WhereCondition Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of string
I am trying to make a simple database where the data entered in a form will update to a table. My issue is, one of the fields is manufacturing location where I would like the user to be able to enter multiple locations and then have those locations update the table where the record is stored. I've been able to set up a list box with multi-select but am stuck at getting the table to update with the choices made from the list box selection.
