Need A Combo Box To Display Different Lists Depending On A Control
Dec 1, 2005
Hi, I'm not sure how to write something and would like assistance. The form is taken from a table and then there are two diffenterent forms displayed as datasheets within, on tab controls. I have a combo box taken from a query on each form and would like the combo box to display a certain list if the control on the form (the bit taken from the table) has a P in it, a different list if the control has an R in it or to display the whole list if the control has a B in it. Trouble is, I'm quite new to this and I'm not sure on how to write any code for if statements or whatever is needed. If you are able to assist I would appreciate it. Thanks
I am creating a database to manage multiple mobile devices. The table structure is complete and I'm trying to build a set of forms.
Simplifying things, I have tblUser, tblSim and tblDevice. I also have a tblJoin where you can select a UserID, SimID and DeviceID to create an item of inventory.
I have created a parent form (frmCreateInventory) base on tblJoin, so it has JoinID and combo boxes for UserID, SimID and DeviceID in the lefthand side.
I have also set up 3 sub forms sfrmUser, sfrmDevice and sfrmSim, based on their respective tables, which I want to display on the right hand side of frmCreateInventory.
I'd like to be able to create a subform control in frmCreateInventory, but change the subform it displays based on what combo box is clicked, e.g. if I click the UserID control, the subform displays sfrmUser, and the relevant data based on the UserID that is linked to the JoinID. if I click the DeviceID control, the sfrmDevice is displayed and the relevant info etc. etc.
Is this possible? if so, how would I go about doing this?

Hi I'm a real newbie at this but basically I have a form displaying three lots of contacts Expediting, Quotation & Miscellaneous contacts.After choosing the company name from a list box it displays the Expediting, Quotation & Miscellaneous contacts info - but doing it this way there isnt much space on the screen to show all the Contact names,Telephone fax & email addresses clearly& at a decent size.Apart from the company list box I want to have a list box/combo box with:
Expediting Quotation Miscellaneous
and then after choosing Expediting, Quotation or Miscellaneous from the list/combobox i want it to take the relevant data from the Expediting, Quotation, or Miscellaneous contacts sections and only display the information relating to those sections only, therefore allowing me to have bigger text and not so cramped display so everyone can read it ok and get more info on the screen for each contact group.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated!!!! Thankyou in advance for any help. Be gentle with me I am a newbie,lol.
I want to display the text from one combo in a text box in another form based on what's selected in a second combo box. The text box is in a different form from the combo boxes.
Sub D_ComponentTypeCmb_Change()
If Me.D_ComponentNameCmb.Value = "Customise" Then Forms!CustomComponentF!C_ComponentTxt.Value = Me.D_ComponentTypeCmb Else Forms!CustomComponentF!C_ComponentTxt.Value = "" End If End Sub
I have a database of books. I have a combobox listing 3 different status W M R.
W is for Whats next to read, M is for more books too read and R for books read or reading now. I can enter a new book by calling up the add a book form from any of those 3 forms.
If I forget to enter a letter in the combo box then the book is lost to those 3 forms as what they see depends on that status letter and I have to go to the table and enter a letter from there.
I want to know if I can auto populate the field (W M R) depending on which form opened the add a book form.
Ok! So I've binned the pivot table and gone for a continuos form option that allows the double click event that I'm after. A new problem has appeared.
On my main form I have 3 combo boxes (programme, product & company). When I click on any of the combo boxes i get a list of everything in the column it relates to. That works fine but it looks very cluttered. I'd like to have everything listed once only so that when i click on a programme it will filter the subform to show only companies working that programme.
Hopefully this little thingy I've put below will explain it a bit clearer
At the moment the programme combo box is displaying....
I havea combo box on a form which looks up values from another table. The table containing the values which are looked up has another field where the data type is Yes/No. I want to limit the options in the combo box to just those which are set to Yes in the source table.
I know I need to use WHERE in the code for the combo box, but cannot find the correct syntax.
During the course of it's development I have created about twenty tables whose sole purpose is to house data for use in combo and list boxes. They have no other purpose.
I am now in the process of creating the maintenance side of this project and how to manage these lists. In the past I have created a form with a multitude of subforms to manage these lists.
I'm stuck on a portion of a form that displays members attending and not attending a specific event. I've got some of it working but others not.
1. Removing items from a table and updating a listbox 2. Changing the Event selection from Next Record to a combo box.
The code that I have in the two list boxes are as follows:
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() Me!lstNotAttending.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT Members.MemberID, Members.txtLname, Members.txtFname FROM Members " & _ " LEFT JOIN MemberEvents ON Members.MemberID = MemberEvents.fk_MemberID" & _ " WHERE MemberEvents.fk_MemberID Is Null OR MemberEvents.fk_EventID <> " & Me!txtEventID & _ " ORDER BY Members.txtLName;" Me!lstAttending.RowSource = "SELECT Members.MemberID, Members.txtLname, Members.txtFname FROM Members " & _ " LEFT JOIN MemberEvents ON Members.MemberID = MemberEvents.fk_MemberID" & _ " WHERE MemberEvents.fk_EventID = " & Me!txtEventID & _ " ORDER BY Members.txtLName;" End Sub
The code I have working for adding a member:
Code: Private Sub lstNotAttending_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO MemberEvents(fk_MemberID, fk_EventID) " & _ "VALUES (" & lstNotAttending.Column(0) & ", " & Me!txtEventID & ");"
Me!lstNotAttending.Requery Me!lstAttending.Requery End Sub
I know the code for removing has to start with REMOVE FROM. I just don't know the syntax.The combo box has no code.I'm assuming the Requery options aren't working properly for the listboxes
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
I am looking for a way to customize fields to be hidden or not depending on user in forms or reports.
Any idea ?
I wanted to explore the customisation of each query but there must be an easier way to save personal parameters somehow so that the user would go through the forms and hide the non necessary fields once and we would then save somewhere these settings for each user.
I have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.
I would like to only display certain fields on a form depending on a criteria in another cell. For example if some enters 4 in 'Schemes' it would display 4 data entry boxes scheme1, scheme2, scheme3 etc - is it possible?
I have a database I am using to record financial transactions. I have a transaction edit/entry form that uses combo box lists to select the different segments of my 32 digit account numbers. The issue I am running into is that when I enter a value value in the first box/field the form jumps to the very first record.I then can use the navigation buttons to get back to the last record, and all the subsequent boxes/fields work fine without jumping to a different record.
Hi all, I am trying to have the rowsource change on a "subcategory" combo box depending on what the "category" combo box says.
I added an event procedure to the "Category" combo box which changes the Row Source in the subcategory combo box to something else. I'm not sure that I did this right as if I close the database and reopen it, what I selected in the subcategory combobox is gone and it is blank. Any ideas? Here is my simple, likely incorrect event procedure:
Private Sub Category_Change()
If Category.Text = "Rare Books" Then SubCat.RowSource = "scRareBooks"
End If
If Category.Text = "Legal Documents" Then SubCat.RowSource = "scLegalDocuments"
I am trying to achieve the following using 2 combo boxes
Box "a" is a list of courses from tbl_training_courses. The user selects the appropriate course.
Box "b" is a list of dates for each course from tbl_course_dates. Thus the user can select which date per course they want to book someone onto, and this value is then stored in tbl_training_record as the date the person is booked onto.
Its not working!!! It either displays blank values, or it starts a parameter query which I didnt want.
In the combo wizard, access refers to "remembering the value selected for later use" - i guess this might be what I need to use, remembering the value from the first and using it to select rows for the 2nd box based on identical courseID - but I can't seem to find this in Help file.
I have quite a simple problem I think, but i don't know if I'm able to explain it properly.
I have three tables:
one for contacts one for the groups contacts are a member of and a junction table to solve the many to many relationship there.
What I want, is to create a form, with a combo box with a drop down list of groups. When a user selects a group, I'd like all the contacts (including *some* of their fields) to populate the list box below.
So a user can easily view the members of each group.
I have a form that is basically an autoform for inputting into my main table. I have one combobox that has customers in it.. let's call them a b and c. Further down is another field, called Reference. Each customer can have certain references. I want the reference field to be a combobox, in which the selection list is dependent on the choice in the customer combobox.
So if customer is a, the ref. cbo gives you the choice of 1, 2, or 3. If Customer is b, ref is 4, 5, or 6, and if customer is c, ref is 7, 8, or 9. See what I'm saying?
Sorry if it's not explained very well, I am happy to answer any questions to clarify it.
Hey, I have 2 combo boxes. The first one gives a lis of Prefix letters for railcars. The second uses the value of the 1st and finds railcars that start with the same letters.
finally got the 2nd combo box to list the prefix and number of a railcar based on the 1st combo box and also got it to clear as each run-through starts.
Now that the user can select a number (ex. dfcv1234 as the railcar), I need to find the record with the prefix dfcv and the car number 1234 and load the record to the form for view and editing.
So far, I know it needs to be the after update event and have a select statement that finds the [key], [prefix], [car_number] that matches the value selected on the form but how do I use the key to make the record show on the form?
In the database, there is a table called "Jobs" which sales enquiries are entered into. In this table, there are fields called "JobStatus" which has the default text of "Quotation Pending" and a combo box "JobLive" which is a "yes/no" field. Normally a job will come in as quotation request and the "JobsLive" field will be set to "no".
Occasionally, a job will come in as confirmed from the outset. In this case, the job will be marked as "live" in the combo box "JobLive". Is it possible to change the "JobStatus" field to "Job Live" when this combo box is changed to "yes"?At any other stage, the "JobStatus" field will be changed using an update query as and when changes are made.
I need to add new records to a table depending on what the cbo box displays. I figure this is the way to do it but I it's not working, I have only writen the first select,
Private Sub Comando6_Click() Dim dbPalavraChave As DAO.Database Dim rstchaveCFEPC As DAO.Recordset Set dbPalavraChave = CurrentDb Set rstchaveCFEPC = dbPalavraChave.OpenRecordset("chaveCFEPC")
I have a form wich includes listbox of employees. When I click on them, it shows his or her data (date of birth,address,etc...). For every employee there are also three diferent checkboxes - if he is regularly employed, temporaly employed or student.So now what I need is to filter listbox of employees - only student or only regular or only temporar or all.I was wondering if I can do that with combobox, but I really dont know how. I am prety new to VBA.
