Howdy all,
Ive got combo boxes, in a cascading style working well...
but what id like to also have is a another dropdown list that shows the last 5 selected options (because often the data will be entered in batches and it should just save time)
there is combo1 combo2 and combo3
If Sport is selected in combo1 then it displays combo2 with all the sports in it, so if golf is selected then the golf options come up in combo3 for example tiger,
So id like to store Sport > Golf > Tiger
Ive already got the value for Tiger being selected, so I can assign that easily enough
What id like to be able to do is store the name and its value in a combo box maybe showing the last 5 selections.
Im just not sure what the best way to go about this would be,
Should I make a table with say 5 rows? or is there a better way to go about it?
How do I allow the user to select more than one answer in a combo box? It is a drop down menu with several choices. I'd like the user to be able to select more than one if desired and all choices would display when queried. Thank you much. :)
How to correct the issue below. I created a split form and I have 2 combo boxes that allow multiple selections. The one combo box for LOB (line of business) works perfect and does not create duplicate records in the datasheet view of the split form. The 2nd combo box with multiple selections creates duplicate records in the datasheet depending on how many selections are made.
I have checked this in the underlying table and there are no duplicate records, it is only in the split form datasheet. I have checked settings and configuration between the 2 combo boxes that are reacting differently and they appear to be identical...
I have a combo box in a form. The box is linked to a table called Therapy with 3 fields: TherapyID, Therapy_Type and Therapy_Cost.
The table has been populated with 5 records: 1 Physical Therapy $125 2 Occupational Therapy $125 3 Acupuncture $90 4 Swedish Massage $65 5 Raindrop Treatment $65
I have a field on the form that pops up the cost when one of these is selected in the combo box. This seems to be working but for some reason, and it's blowing my mind, the combo box refuses to let me select Occupational Therapy or Raindrop Treatment.
I have other pick lists of other things working perfectly well, allowing all selections and popping the costs into their little text fields quite happily.
Can anyone give me a hint as to why THIS one isn't working right?
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 hope I can form this question so it makes sense. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do this, if it can be done at all.
Ok, imagine I’m making a database of widgets. In this database I’m creating a table of widget name, cost, weight, and color. This part is pretty simple. Now, my widgets can come in many different colors. To accommodate this, I create a separate table for colors, let’s say red, green, blue, yellow and purple. I create a color item in the first widget table, and use the look up wizard to point it to the color table. This way on my forms I can select the color widget I want and have it all standardized.
This is where my problem comes in. My widgets can be multiple colors. How can I create a field in my widget table, to somehow reference that I can have a red and blue widget? So, when I query all my red widgets, I get the red ones and the ones with red in them?
Now, I could make an item in my widget table for each color and make it a yes/no field. But, my real problem is exponentially bigger than this so that isn’t what I want to do.
I have a continuous form which selects records to view based on the stock number and the dates, beginning and end, entered by the user. This is based on query that gets data from several related tables. This is what is in the Row Source property of the combo box has in it: SELECT [qrywhobotit].[PROD_CODE] FROM qrywhobotit; don't know if that makes any difference to my problems.
The stock number is selected from an unbound combo box. The dates are selected from 2 unbound text box controls, one for start date & one for end date. I used the after-update event of the combo box and it filters the stock number. I also used the after-update event in the end date text control to filter the dates (from and to).
Question: How do I write the events so it selects the stock number for just the date range entered. I can get the stock number to get the correct records, but the dates are not selected, it shows all records for that stock number not just those matching the date range entered. If I comment out the stock number code, then records selected match the date range entered, I only see the dates I entered but it shows all the stock numbers, not just the one stock number entered. I can get the stock number to work OR the dates but not both at the same time. I think I need some sort of "and" condition, but not sure where/how to put it.
Here is the code I used.
Private Sub cbofindrecwhobotit_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record(s) that matches the control. ' DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "Prod_Code = '" & DblApp(Me.cbofindrecwhobotit.Value) & "'" ' Me.FilterOn = True End Sub
The above commands are commented out, I tried moving it all to the after update event of the end date text box control - didn't work (see following code). It works fine if I uncomment it, but then the dates don't get filtered at all.
Private Sub txtwhobotenddat_AfterUpdate() DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "Prod_Code = '" & DblApp(Me.cbofindrecwhobotit.Value) & "'" If txtwhobotstartdat.Value = "" Then Me.Filter = "FULFILL_DT <= date()" Else Me.Filter = "FULFILL_DT between " & _ "(#" & Me.txtwhobotstartdat.Value & "#) " & _ "AND (#" & Me.txtwhobotenddat.Value & "#)" End If Me.FilterOn = True End Sub
2nd Question: There are lots of records for any one stock number. When I use the combo box to select the stock number, I see the same stock number repeated again and again in the list displayed in the combo box , instead of just one of each. I tried turning both the Unique Values and Unique Records properties to YES on in the properties of the query, but that didn't fix it. How do I fix the combo box to display just a list of unique stock numbers?
I have a listbox with about 8 different choices. i want to be able to query what is selected in this list box but I need to be able to select more than one choice so that my employees don't have to create multiple forms for the same item. Is there any way to select more than one option? It would help greatly even if I have to add code in VB I will figure out how to do it, thank you.
I have a list of codes that I would like to select among 50,000 codes in MS Access Database:
I can easily find one code but I don't know how to select multiple values:
My Query is:
SELECT [Codes for District].DistrictID, Univ2012.Schoolid FROM Univ2012 INNER JOIN [Codes for District] ON Univ2012.DistrictID = [Codes for District].DistrictID WHERE IN [((Univ2012.Schoolid)= 415030301, 415030303, 415030306, 415030309)] GROUP BY [Codes for District].DistrictID, Univ2012.Schoolid HAVING ((([Codes for District].DistrictID)=15));
When I run this query it gave me Syntax Error in Where clause...
I currently have a form with a drop-down combo box that is used as a tool for selecting an employee's last name. After selecting a name, the text boxes below the combo box are updated to match up with the selected name.
However, I am trying to get the employee images to do the same thing, but it's not working. The employee photos are currently "Bound Object Frame" items. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm working on a database where users enter an assignment into a datasheet form. Assignments are selected from a combo box that has values stored in a table. After choosing the assignment, the user adds the date it was completed. After this is done, I would like the "Next Due" column to update. Each assignment will have a different next due date, such as one year from the completion date, six months, etc. I don't know how to add different values depending on the combo box selection.
This must be pretty common but I cann't figure it out.
There is a listbox that multiple selections are allowed. This listbox is bounded with a table field. All selections must be stored. I don't mind if each selection is stored as a different record.
I keep thinking this should be pretty simple, but more than 2 hours searching through posts has revealed no answers, probably because the answer is too simple.
OK, I have an append query. I've created a prompt to enter the number of the record the user wishes to append, as it is usually one single record. However, I've recently run into a problem that now there is the possibility of needing to specify more than one record at the same time to be appended.
How do I change the criteria syntax to allow the user to enter two, three, or a dozen (if need be) different record numbers? They are not listed sequentially, so I can't use a "between" statement. I've tried separating the numbers by commas, quotes, and so forth, but can't get it to recognise the records.
I made a listbox in which get's it's source from a field in a table named Soft. The field is named Software1.
This field contains a list off software that could be installed on systems. I allready can select multiple selections from the listbox but what I want to do is the following.
I want to press a button, and after I press the button I want that the selected Software is added to a new listbox which show the Software installed. The software in the second listbox would also be stored inside a Table so that I could print them out in Reports.
To simply explain what I'm trying to do:
SoftwareListbox >> Make multple selections>>Press button>> Adds selected software to InstalledListbox which stores in the softwarelist installed in a Table.
I really hope you guys understand what I'm trying to do. And sorry for my bad english, should have paid better attention during English class ;)
I have a simple order entry system working with a subform containing combo box where a client selects various products from a table. These are recorded in separate table which allows for subsequent updating of the orders placed.
Now I want to refine this so that the user may make multiple selections as it is a bit laborious making 'n' single selections via a combo based subform.
Only a list box allows multiple selections but I would like some guidance on how to store and be able to recall and update the selected items.
I have an option group on a form, that has 4 possible options. I need to allow the user to select any combination of the 4 options, to be stored in fields in another table.
By default, the option group only allows one to be selected (hence the name "option"? ;) Maybe I should proceed a different way?
I had a bigger question earlier and it was answered but I am still having problems with a small part of it. I am trying to track the details of a meeting. who requested it, for what project, date, duration, who attended. I have everything figured out except accounting for who attended the meetings. attendees also called "analysts" have a manay to many relationship with the meetings. Because they can be a part of many meetings and a meeting can have many analysts. So I created a seperate table called MR-Analyst which was supposed to help me track which meetings each analyst attended. I don't know how the data entery form should look like, right now I have everything on it and linked correctly to track everything excep the analysts. how can I create a list box or something that I can select multiple analysts for each meeting and have that recored linked to the MR-Analyst table? Please Help!!!
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?
Basically I have a list box and I want to be able to pick several items from it (No relation except for the name in the Inital Assigned Field) then hit a button and then it opens another form and shows all the records selected. I want to this to see several records at once but also change the value of all the fields to the same value.
I need to create a form or a subform that brings up a list of records based on criteria that a user chooses in multiple list boxes. Is this possible? I am pretty new to Access.
Say for example, in two fields within my dropdown for Camera Status in the Maintenance table...
FIT FOR PURPOSE - Availability Checkbox = Yes
What expression do I need in expression builder, so that Selecting UNDER REPAIR or FAULTY/DAMAGED instead makes the checkbox availability turn to unchecked automatically within a form, without the need to manually change the checkbox?
(Shipments Table) ShipmentID WaybillNo Date ServiceTypeID
The ServiceTypeID is selected on the Shipments Form by making a selection from a combo box that has been populated by the RateID Table Field Names (which are the service types).
Everything works fine but I need to be able to run a query to calculate the freight charge (from the appropriate rate in the Rate Profile Table) according to which Customer & Service Type has been selected, but not having much joy.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could point me in the right condition.
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 will have a ListBox on the form with “Multi Select” set to either simple or extended. I have a collection of documents which must be recorded in a database. Some documents may have only one author, but could have more. Same with the recipient or copied-to.
Ideally it would be nice to have the ListBox on the left, selected one or more from the list and then pass them to one of the three fields by a command button, sort of like:
I would like to have all of the names selected from the ListBox as a string, but fully understand the problems associated with normalization. Other posts have suggested subforms. So, the question is how to select from the ListBox and then pass the possible multiple selections to discrete fields on a subform that would display, say three fields and which would get away from the normalization issues:
The secondary issue will be that there will be subsequent names which are not found until actually in the process of document review which will create a need to update the ListBox, which I know is not akin to a ComboBox NotInList function.
If there are any thoughts or coding out there which will help, it’d be appreciated. Lawguy
Hello Everyone, I presently have a form with a list box, I want to be able to select Multiple Items in this list box and then have a query run against a Table based on the items I selected in the List Box. Can you tell me what to do in Query Builder to achieve this?
Is there a way to have multiple selections from a dropdown combobox writtin to the table with a semicolon separating them rather than a comma?
So when I select multiple items it saves as "first item;second item;third item" instead of the default format of "first item, second item, third item".
The reason is that when the data gets imported into my site, data within fields must be presented this way.
