College Student Needing Help With Lookup Combo Boxes
Mar 9, 2006Hello people,
I'm not a programmer, I am infact a 17 year old College Student from the United Kingdom - Studying ICT!
For my major project I have to design, build and test a camera loans system for my photography department. Except, I am having problems with Combo box lookups. It's been over 6 months since I learnt this, and it's all a blank. Something as simple as this is simply not working...
e.g. in the Studentloans table, I wish to enter the Student ID number from the student ID card inside the combo box, and hit enter so that it brings up the relevant specific loans of that student.
I enter the id, hit enter and the student name, class etc does not change. Why? The same goes for my Camera Maintenance Table, Camera + Maintenance tables are combined to a CAMERAMAINTENANCE TABLE - Therefore I wish to enter the Camera ID number so that if i hit enter, it brings up the relevant service histories of that specific camera...
The relationships are all ok, the fields for Student ID are lookup, etc.
I don't understand. It's driving me insane. I need help with this, I'm struggling so much.
Help much appreciated.
Thanks - Neil.

I have lookup fields for CD Group and CD Name
Do I need a autolookup Query or Syncronized combo box to perform the following function.

Mormon Tabernacle Chior Cd Group
Only display CD's related to the Mormon Tabernacle Chior
NOT ALL RECORDS IN THE DATABASE.
I've bent my self backwards on this and get no were I know it might help me with some visual basic coading.
The only resources I have is some books on Access
I Live in a Rural Area and there are no computer coarses near me that fit my time.
This following procedure I think would be done for example with any Products Database let's Say like Bakery Items
NAme of Company
Nabisco
NAme of ITems
Crackers
Cookies
Only display products by each item Name
NOT ALL RECORDS IN THE DATABASE WHICH ARE BAKERY ITEMS IN THE LIST
wHEN I FILTER BY FORM
PLease email me at

New Access User Needing Direction
Aug 24, 2005I am a novice user trying to set up a db for small business and am needing a little direction. Most of the company's sales come from the contracted work for remodeling homes; however a small amount of sales are over the counter sales within their showroom.
How do I set up the db to track the following: customer info, contract sales amount & date & payments & balance due, labor costs by employee and sub contractor, materials costs, and net profit from contracted amount vs deductions of costs?
Payments made are directly related to contracted sale and not labor or material costs; with the exception of the over the counter sales. My boss currently tracks the above info in an spreedsheet ... please advise. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
First Time Access User Needing Help
Jan 18, 2008Hi
I am a teacher using Access 2007 for the first time.
I have downloaded and created a Student Info database which contains details of nationality, guardian's contact info, etc.
I also have an Attendance Excel Sheet which calculates daily / monthly attendance in its most basic form.
How do I link the cells that show the current attendance of each student to the Access db? Can I link it so that it appears on the db forms / tables / individual student page?
Please advise.
I'd appreciate the coming to me in painfully simple steps.
I teach English and Humanities and am not well versed in computer language ... although I enjoy its challenges and use a lot of it for teaching and administratie purposes.
Thanking you in advance,

Access 2000 Security - Authenticate With Windows 2000 Server Credentials
Oct 24, 2005Hi
I have a database that currently has security in place so that users input their own usernames and passwords to access the database. The users have recently been added to a windows 2000 server and I want to be able to use their windows 2000 server logon credentials to provide them with automatic access to the database. Is there anyone out there who knows how to set this up? It is a rather urgent request if you could get back to me either on this forum or via email

Opening & Closing Excel 2000 Workbooks From Access 2000
Jun 2, 2006I am opening and closing a series of Excel 2000 Workbooks using Access 2000 VBA and want this sequence to be able to complete without any human intervention.
However, there are 2 instances when this stops and waits for a human option to be selected:
1. When the spreadsheet is password protected
2. When the spreadsheet has automatic links I get the message:
"The Workbook you opened contains automatic links to information in another workbook. Do you want to update this workbook with changes made to the other workbook?"
How can I code it so that in situation 1 it skips this file and in situation 2 it automatically defaults to do not update?
Any help most appreciated.

Link/Transfer Data From Access 2000 To Excel 2000
Mar 27, 2006If I have a report in MS Access 2000 generated based on the criteria selected of a project with work order "9999" with the labor costs, materials costs and the Totals of each crew1, crew2,... and I would like to have those expenditures populated in corresponding cel in Excel for each crew, HOW would I do it?
To think it out loud, could I create a button on a form, so when I select the criteria for the work order, and when I click the button, it should refresh/update the Exel file with the new data...?? How do I write VBA code for that...?
Please help...Thank you so much....
Access 2000 & MSSQL 2000 Multiuser Problems
Aug 20, 2007Hi everybody,
I have recently been doing a conversion for my boss for a access 2000 database (both front and backend) to a MSSQL backend.
I finished the conversion today (as quite a lot of the code / queries ran slow due to access running the queries locally rather than on the server). And tested it on my and my boss's machine with no problems so he gave the go ahead to update everybody to our new mssql 2000 backend with the modified frontend.
This is when the problems started; We had two different sets of forms for accessing one of our databases systems - the log system, one is the original dynaset based form, and the other is a newer set which uses snapshot views and preforms updates via queries. Nobody uses the old dyanset system apart from my boss and one of the administrative team as they have things on that window which they need to see. About 30 minutes into the release of the new database the system frooze up on my bosses computer and nobody could create a new log (the server was timing out). I assumed this had something to do with the old dynaset's creating locks on the table.
I offlined the database and kicked everybody out of the front end, turned it on again and tied again, this time banning everybody from the dynaset system. Within 10 minutes another computer frooze up, again with a timeout on the insert query. I discovered that after you had added a new log to the database it would timeout on all subquent additions (something it hadn't done during testing) . Further investigatiion showed it was the snapshot list window causing the error, so coded the add log window to close the list before preforming the insert query and then reopen it afterwards. This allowed my machine to make multible additions without flaw. So I released a new client to everybody. 15 minutes later it was timing out again, but this time there you could not even make one new record.
I checked for locks on the table though the server management table and couldn't find any for the Log table. I have restarted the SQL server box and with no avil. So I reverted our backend to the access mdb file and told people to use the old client.
I am at a complete lose to why this is happening, if anybody has had any expericences like this or knows the cause please tell me.
Some information on the database in question.
It was made as an access 2 database all intergrated into one file, then it was seperated into two files (frontend and backend). Upgraded to Access 97, then to 2000 before this final update to MSSQL 2000.
The log system has two main tables. The first is the log title / info table which links (one to many) to a log entry table. This problem only occurs on the main log table and does not appear to be reoccurring anywhere else within the database. The main log table has just under 18,000 rows in it.
Thank you in advance for any help,

Modules & VBA :: Multi Select List Boxes With Multiple Columns In Access 2013
Oct 22, 2014I have a listbox set to Multiselect property of Simple. The listbox is populated by using a table. There are 4 columns in the listbox
Code:
1 3/23/2014 4/5/2014 2014
2 4/6/2014 4/19/2014 2014
3 4/20/2014 5/3/2014 2014
The columns are PayPeriod, StartDate, EndDate, FiscalYear
What I want to be able to do is highlight a chunk of dates and have the first selected StartDate and the last selected EndDate populate two hidden text boxes so I can use them for my queries/reports.
I've tried a couple different ways. Each time what happens is it only uses the last item I have selected in it's calculations.
Code:
Dim ItemIndex As Variant
For Each ItemIndex In Me.lstPayPeriods.ItemsSelected
If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex) And Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex - 1) = False Then
Date1.SetFocus
Date1.Text = Me.lstPayPeriods.Column(2, Me.lstPayPeriods.ListIndex)
End If
Next
In this example I tried to have it go through each Item of the listbox. I wanted to check to see if the current row was selected and the row before it wasn't. That way I could determine it was the first item selected in the group of selected items. It would always only use the last item I had selected.
Code:
Dim CurrentRow As Integer
Dim FirstDate As Date
For CurrentRow = 0 To Me.lstPayPeriods.ListCount - 1
If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(CurrentRow) Then
Date2.SetFocus
[Code] ....
I tried to do something similar with this code. Again, it only uses the last item I have selected.

Forms +List Boxes +Text Boxes With Formulas
Nov 8, 2004I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
Thanks,

Use Multi-select List Box To Filter A Report With Two List Boxes
Nov 20, 2013Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items

List Boxes And Combo Boxes
Feb 28, 2007Hi everyone,
I have been making progress with customizing a
MS Access program, but one major problem is that
I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box
that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I
find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of
values from only the parameter that is primary key.
More specifically, the program is set up as follows:
I have two tables in this program: One that is called
"invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of
these tables, there is one common parameter, which
is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key,
and I used the "relationships" function to tie this
parameter to itself between the two tables.
I was successful in setting up a list-box for the
"Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box
for another parameter that is supposed to display
a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list
of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials.
In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to
take so that the database stores a list of people's initials.
Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each
record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key.
How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of
different people's initials, or in other words how can I get
all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of
initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried
different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the
Design mode of Tables, including Display Control,
Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column,
but the outcome is that the only parameter that I
get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which
is Item Number.
I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how
to correct this.
On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and
on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a
specific date range so that I can limit each report to a
specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well.
Thanks.

List Boxes
Aug 4, 2006Im having a problem with a listbox/query/label. My DB is based on one that was posted in the sample database are of this forum. In itself it works really well. Clicking on the labels at the top of the list box applys a sort to the list box, each one of these sorts is based on a query. My porblem is that I want to be able to produce and print a report based on those queries. I know I could put a bunch of buttons on the form and do it that way. Or put a list box with all the my reports in and do it that way. I would prefer though, to have one button with one report reading the information from the different queries depending on what label is selected. Hopefully thats clear, the DB demonstartes it better. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Jun 24, 2005I want to be able to specify the site of a disease. I had a combo box with pre-defined options (linked to a LU table) but now i find out there can be multiple disease sites. I changed it to a list box and chose multi-select (extended) but this does not retain the values in the form or record them in a table (even when I use the wizard and tell them what field i want the results in). What am i doing wrong or have I missed the whole gist of what a list box is for? Cannot find anything on line to help me here

Needing Advice
Aug 5, 2005Hi Im currently building an Access aplication and Im looking for some advice.
What Id like to do is use a list box which has a list of items in it, once an item is selected and a button clicked for this information to be sent into a text box to then be stored by the database. Each new item should be added to the end of the list.
I was wondering if its actually possible and how you would go about doing it.
Thanks for your help.

Apr 6, 2006Ok guys, im going to be flat out honest, Im new to this whole database thing. I've been doing a lot of studying and Decided that I am going to try my hands at a real simple and straight foward database. It seemed fairly simple but i guess not so im asking for help. I think my problem lies in understanding how the keys work, and what exactly they do for the database itself. And two the relationships, im not really sure of, i understand how to set them, but again i dont know what they do for the database in the end. Ok so heres what i got:
The object of this DB was to collect, store, retrieve, edit and display data for a fictious Print center that deals with Black & White copies and Color Copies.
3 tables:
Company
Customer
Job
these tables contain:
Company Table:
CompanyID Set to AutoNumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY*
CompanyName Set to Text
Address Set to text
City Set to text
State Set to text with 2 Character limit for input
ZipCode Set to text with 5 characrtr input
Description Set to Memo
Webaddress Set to hyperlink
Customer Table:
CustomerAccountNumber Set to autonumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY*
CompanyName Set to Text
JobNumber Set to number
FirstName set to text
LastName Set to text
PhoneNumber Set to text with mask set
FaxNumber Set to Text with mask set
Email adddress Set to text
Job Table:
Jobnumber Set to autonumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY*
Jobname set to text
Jobtype Set to text
JobDescription Set to memo
DueDate Set to Date and time
Ok now hers the relationships I set up:
Company Table: CompanyID ------> Customer table:CompanyName
Customertable:JobNumber ------> JobTable:JobNumber
I tried and thought this would keep things simple but for some reason when i go to create my querys, i get this thing telling me that i have other data from another tabel and cant be edited, i figured out that i had to put the job in first to get a job number and when i go to enter the customers information i have to manually enter the job number in. (Kinda Sucks) I entered some sample data, and tried to make a form, I used the autoform and created a general form but when I flip to the last record in the DataBase it wont let me enter any new information, I thought i was suppose to do that, so i went to the table properties and set the table to Data Enrty Only, and i still couldnt enter new data.
:confused: Ok so theres my problem, I made a boat with duct tape and now im wondering why im sinking to the bottom. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED and if possible a broken down real world explanation on how the keys and relationships work, and what they actually do for the database. I also probably didnt set up the data in the fields correctly, I was trying to normalize everything but im not sure.
Thanks guys! Im really greatful for any help you can offer! ~[MikE]~ :)
