Need List Box To Show Different Fields Linked To Same ID
Dec 28, 2004
Hi, I am trying to make a list box that shows the first name of different people in the same family in a subform. I have the first names in different fields linked to the same ID, and the list box I keep making that sort of works will show the whole row of names (but also everyone else's first names down the list), and it will only keep the first name in that row when I select it. I would like to know how to make a list box that just shows the 2 or 3 first names linked to the last name or ID that is currently on the main form I am looking at.
Overview: Ok so i have document database, and i have a number of forms these forms have a tab control layout on them. There is a 'Search' tab, a 'Add' tab, and a 'Edit' tab. Now what i have is a edit log table linked with the documents table on two seperate subforms on the 'Search' page. They are linked by the 'Document Number' which is not the primary key. The 'Add' page is linked to the document subform and the 'Edit' page is linked to the Log subform.
Aim: My aim is to have a changes log for each document so that when i select a document in the document subform that the all the changes made to that document are shown on the log subform.
Problem: When i open the 'Search' tab there are somtimes more than one record with the same 'document number' in the log subform. This is normal as users may update the same document more than once causing there to be 2 or more of the same document number listed under the log subform; but... this also causes the document subform to display a duplicate of the document with that 'document number'.
Proposed Solution: I dont know if there is a way but i was wondering if there is a piece of code that will automaticly hide any records that have the same document number on the document subform. Or if there is a better way please tell me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, i hope i havent wasted your time by asking a simple and stupid question.
Access 2010 ... I have 2 tables. One with base information second one is linked with multiple results each having a price. On table one i see the + sign when i click i can see the linked second table. Can i get a total amount of the price on table 2 on table one?
IE: Table 1: Trans ID - Seller - Quantity - Lot Cost - Parts Cost<-- the one i need total for. 123 - joe - 3 - $100 - $20 <-- the total of the 2 linked parts (Keyboard, Mouse)
Table 2: ID - Trans ID - Part - Cost 1 - 123 - Keyboard - $10 2 - 123 - Mouse - $10
I have been searching the forum for this scenario but could not find similar case, which is as follows: I have a Search Form with many Text and Combo boxes, linked to search criteria in a query. There is also a sub-form showing the search results. I am trying to replace one of the combo boxes on the form, with a List Box, so I can make multiple selections. For example instead of showing only "buy" transactions via the combo, I want to see both "buy" and "sell" transactions, which I believe could be done via a List Box.
For the combo box I have the following: In the Field section I have: [TransactionType]=[Forms]![frmSearchTransHist]![cboTransType] Or [Forms]![frmSearchTransHist]![cboTransType] Is Null
For Criteria I have - "True"
So, my question is what should I put on the query in order to make it work with a list box.
I also want to give credit here to Jon K who has an example of database with combos and texts - very helpful example! http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=103312
I am trying to build a build calender to display customer orders on given days. I have the calender in place with intentions of having a list box on each day to display the orders.We have a daily report that is an excel file that lists these orders. I have linked this file to an access table in my db.
I am able to use this linked table to run a query and generate a report without any problems.When I try to use the information in this table to populate a list or combo box the only fields that will display are all numbers. If I use a field like "Customer Name" I get no information displayed. The data in excel and access are both set as text.
I have a number of drop down menus to select Building Name, Building Number and then Equipment Name and Equipment Number. I want the list to be linked so that when you select the building name the building number is picked up. Also I want the Equipment List's with to change so that once the building has been selected only the equipment available in that building is available to be selected. Is there a way I can do this?
I have three linked tables [Regulator], [RuleBook] and [Rules] (each has a corresponding form for data entry).
In the "Rules" form, when you select name of the regulator, the rule books dropdown down is filtered to show only the rulebooks for that regulator. the code I use is:
Private Sub Regulator_Change() Me.[Rule Book].RowSource = "SELECT [ID],[Rule Book],[Short Code],[Regulator],[RegName],[Short Form],[Active] FROM" & _ " [RuleBook] WHERE Regulator = " & _ Me.Regulator Me.[ShortReg] = Me.Regulator.Column(3) End Sub
Basically, if I select the FSA as the regulator, The Rule Books drop down is filtered to only show the FSA Rule Books. If I pick OFT, I get the OFT list etc. This all works fine.
In the [RuleBook] table, each entry has a yes/no tick box called "Active".
The reason for this being that the regulators change their rule books quite regularly, but from an audit perspective, I can't delete or overwrite the old ones once they are no longer valid.
What I want to do, is further filter the rule book list to those where Active=True so that when I select FSA, I can only choose from their current rule books and not the ones that are no longer relevant.
Please help, I have a form with 7 option buttions and a calendar. i would like to be able to run a query from the selection that is made. the way this would work is: 7 option buttions - listing different locations Calendar - select date the query would list any event and the start time and end time that fell on that date. my problem is that I dont know were to start. i have been told to use SQl statements. i have tried this but only failed miserably. the events and times are in 2 different tables, i cant get a SQL stastment to work like that. I have tried to use a List box, using the Row Source to display a query, but only 1 row showed. it still was unselectable. Please help, dont know were to go with.
I have made a few cascading combo-boxes that dynamically change based on the data entered into the field above them.. Example:
A SKU is entered, the combo-boxes pull the information for that sku from one or more tables (using SQL Query).
Now... I am having trouble getting these fields to show the first item in the list of possible item specifics. Everything comes in fine, however, I need to form to refresh and repopulate the fields one the SKU loses focus.
I have drop down list linked to table included "agent names" , the names appeared normally in the form but not Alphabetic (A-Z) although the table was alphabetic .

I have a list box (SUB CATEGORY) on my form where I can select multiple items. I have a query (Final) that has this field in it.
Problem - I cannot seem to get the list box selections to appear in the query results. What the "Criteria" should look like or maybe some code that I can try.
On my Class form when assigning students there is a combo box which shows the students names. Once a student is picked in the combo box their name shows up in the subform.
What I would like is a way to NOT show a student in the combo box after they have been selected. Is this possible? Or should I be looking at another way of doing this?
I have 2 tables one, Contacts, primary key ContactID this table contains names, addresses etc and one group called Form primary key Form ID, foreign Key Contact ID. I want to store the related contact ID in my form but display firstname ad surname from Contaacts list. This works fine when I am selecting name. List box shows 2 columns with correct data but when I recall the form after making other entries it only displays the firstname. The correct ContactID is stored. Why does this happen.
If I can get this working I would like to concatenate the Firstname and surname to make it more readable but don't know where to begin.
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?
I have two tables that share a common field. Is there a way to allow Access to update both at the same time? If I change one in Table1 it does not automatically update the same field in Table2. Is this possible?
On a form I have a listbox that allows me to navigate around my records. The listbox is filtered and I get the redords that I waqnt from the table.My problem is that when I open the form the record that is showing is one from the table but not one that is in my listbox. I want it to show the first record in the listbox...This is the command I have on open:
Code: DoCmd.GoToRecord , "", acFirst
which is where the fault lies, but I dont know what I should put in its place. The list is List273 and the form is frm_Profile
I have the listbox named "payment_date", which shows recordset specified by following code:
Code: Private sub Form_Current() Dim que As String que = "SELECT [date] FROM payments WHERE id Like '" & Me!myid & "*' ORDER BY [date] desc;" Me.payment_date.RowSource = que End Sub
I need my listbox to show recordset with record count like this:
I have a check box list on my form for all 50 states, so the user can choose any number and any combination of possible states, which I need the user to be able to do, but when it displays the data it does so horzontally and delineated by a comma. The problem with this is that if enough states are selected, it eventually gets cut off at the end and doesn't display the last states. Is there any way to make it instead show vertically, since at least with that I can format around it and not have a horizontal bar going all the way across the form?

I have a problem with a single query I have build in Access 2000. Basically, I have a normalised database structure to 3NF. I have a table called Data, a table called Reports and a table called DataReports which cotains the primary keys from both data and reports which are named Data_ID and Report_Id. Basically, what is happening is I am building a query that returns a record from DataReports using the Data_Id field as criteria as this is held on a form. I create a one to many relationship from the Reports table to the DataReports table using a link from one Report_Id to the other. I save the table and it works fine...once only!! The query is used to feed a list box on a form. The form loads correctly but when I go back into design view to make a change to something else on the form and then go back to form view, I get Data Type Mismatch error. When I look at the query, Access has changed the link from the Report_Id --> Report_Id to Report_Id --> Report_Title which is the next field down in the Reports table. Because all ID's in my database are Autonum's it is trying to link a number to text so I understand why this would not work but I dont understand why on earth access is changing my links. It is very frustrating. Could anyone help me please.
