Parameter Query - Combo Box?
Feb 26, 2008Is it possible, when using a parameter query to make the message box that appears asking for the parameters be a combo box to reduce the chances of the user misspelling something?
Thanks

Query With Combo On Form For Parameter
Dec 15, 2007I have a report query that uses a combo box on a form to collect the parameters. I would like to be able to include an option that would be like not having any criteria at all, to show all the records. I have tried several combinations in the criteria to get it to work and haven't found a way yet.
IIf([Forms]![MyForm]![Mycbo]<0,Like"*",[Forms]![MyForm]![Mycbo])
I have tried various different versions of what you see above and none have worked. The true part and the false part both work if separated and tested. Is it possible to make this work or is there better way to do this?
Forms :: Using Combo Box Parameter Query
Apr 17, 2013I encountered an error with my form when I used a combo box to get the set of data that I need. the combo box is from the look up value from a table, then I made a main form and attached a subform which is made from a query, after I put them together the form looks great not until I switch to another supplier or click refresh to get the new data.
One of my record is mixing to another supplier and when I checked the table where the data is recorded it was also change, so if I use this form and clicked on supplier1 the data is good, then switch to supplier2 and then click refresh or if I alt tabbed the data is there and its supplier is also changed.
I tried to delete it and retyped it but still the error sticks, also I tried to delete it permanently but still one of the data is mixing on a different supplier and its supplier in the main table is also changed. I'm using access 2007 and also a friend of mine tested it in access 2010 but the output is different it reflects the correct data.
Queries :: Combo Box Query Parameter
Aug 27, 2013I have a query where I want to use a combo box in the parameter. However, its not working.
SELECT Call_Details.Emp_ID, Call_Details.[Call Status]
FROM Call_Details
WHERE (((Call_Details.Emp_ID)=[Forms]![TTY_ID]![TTY_ID]));
I get this in the Parameter Value Dialoge
Forms!TTY_ID!TTY_ID
Should I be entering this in the criteria field at all? Do I have to build an event to make this work?
Queries :: How To Use Combo Box For Query Parameter
Oct 30, 2013I need to apply a parameter to a query based on from combo box. I have added the ALL option to the combobox which that the user would select if they want to run the query to show all records;
E.g. Selecting ALL Countries would be the same as having no parameter or a wild card *
ALL Countries
UK
United States
Asia
Europe
I tried an iif statement like:
IIf([forms]![frmSelectReports].[location]="AllCountries",like"*",[forms]![frmSelectReports].[location])
but it didn't work...
Forms :: Parameter Query Using A Combo Box In A Form
Apr 23, 2013I have a form with a main form and a subform, main form's function is to filter the data's inside the sub form using a combo box, right now I have one combo box which filters the data according to their control no so the output if I use say CtrlNo 1 in the combo box the data that will reflect in the subform would be the data's of CtrlNo 1 but now I'm planning to add another combo box that will filter who supplied that CtrlNo.
What I did is I used the same method from my first form that filters the CtrlNo but in this form I replaced the CtrlNo combo box to Supplier Combo box it worked great but now what it made me think is it possible to put this two filters in just one form?combo box 1 is for CtrlNo combo box 2 is for Supplier.
When I tried to create this it failed, when I filtered only the CtrlNo subform doesn't reflect any data this goes the same for the Supplier combo box but when I tried to choose a filter for both combo box say CtrlNo 1 and its Supplier this works fine but what I want is to have both filters to work even if I did not use both parameters is there any way to achieve this?
Queries :: Parameter Not Getting Passed From Combo Box To A Query

Jul 15, 2014I have a table which holds information on audits that have been carried out on staff member's actions. The 'Supervisor' field is populated via a combo box which is linked to a separate table (tblSupervisors).
I am now trying to build a query to allow me to extract all audits that have been carried out on a specific supervisor - rather than the criteria to be [Enter Supervisor Name] and allowing text entry, I thought it would be better to have form that pops up with a combo box that is used to select the supervisor (from tblSupervisors);
So far:
- Form "Supervisor_Select" is created, and has a combo box that looks up from tblSupervisors
- Macros as specified in the instructions are created (Open Dialog, Close Dialog, OK and Cancel)
- Query is done, all bar the criteria expression on the desired field.
- Module is created as described in the instructions, and is called "Supervisor_Select"
I have tried putting the following in the criteria;
[Forms]![Supervisor_Select]![cboSupervisor], however I think I am missing the bit where the query opens the "Supervisor_Select" form?? Will this only work from a button where the on click event runs the 'Open Dialog' macro and then runs the query?

Capturing Parameter From Parameter Query
Jul 12, 2005I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.

Nov 21, 2005I have an unbound Form with a Subform bound to a query. The query parameters are selected by the users via Unbound cboboxes. The form is working but I would like to add a feature on each cbobox that would allow to show "All" the data (ie:Show the data like if there was no parameter on that field). I can't see how to add this feature, is anybody got any idea?
View 3 Replies View RelatedPassing A Parameter To A Combo Box.
Sep 25, 2005Hello,
I currently have a student membership database with a main Members form. When it opens it prompts me for a parameter which determines if only active, inactive or all members will be displayed. Once the form opens I use a combo box to search through all of the records. Currently this combo box lists all of the members names regardless of the parameter. To address this I set the same parameter query for the combo box. This works fine but it means that I have to enter the same parameter twice. What I would like to do is to have the 1st parameter, when the form opens, pass to the combo box. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows of a more elegant way to accomplish this other than using a parameter query please feel free to pass this along.
Thanks,
Chris

Parameter Value For Combo Box Needed During Form_close
Feb 13, 2005Hello
Once more I'm desperate:
The most "stupid" thing happens when I close a form of mine:
A message box appears asking me to give a parameter value for a combo box that is included in my form. That combo box is used to find specific records in my form. It works perfectly, but the only problem that creates is that mentioned above. Why is a parameter value needed (only when I close the form)? The funny thing is that if I load the form and not click or update the combo-box, when I close the form everything works fine. I checked the vb-code a million times and there's nothing odd in the "after update" code. I must mention that when that msg box appears, whether i give a value to that message box or not,the form closes normally, without anything affected. But it's very annoying. If we could just by-pass that msg box, or eliminate the cause that makes it appear.......
Pls help.....
Thank you in advance
1 Parameter Controlled By Multple Combo Boxes On A Form
Oct 3, 2007Hi
I have been trying to set up this query via VBA code but, with no luck, have gone back to the query in design view. Basically the parameters of the query are determined by combo boxes in a form. This is fine if one combo box indicates one criteria but a problem arisis when multiple combo boxes are possible parameters for one field.
i.e. Field 1 = combo box one
field 2= combo box two
field three = combo box three, four or five.
i have found it difficult running this, especially in terms of a returning all if a combo is left blank. the problem with setting this up on field three would be that if i run combo box four and five to return all if left blank it overides the other command to set a specific parameter. Also, for some reason i can tdecide whether this is an AND or OR command, its actually both i.e. Field three parameter = combo box three and/or combo box4 etc...
please help this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

Forms :: Parameter Value Error When Doing Cascading Combo Boxes?
Jun 12, 2013tried following Microsoft example and several others but my problem comes up when I click on Group in Ticket list, I get a parameter value popup. I know I'm getting it from my Where statement that is supposed to setup the row source for Category. I tried using numbers and text but I messed up somewhere when it comes to the vba.
Me.cboCategory.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT Category.Categories FROM" & _
" Category WHERE GroupName = " & Me.cboGroup & _
" ORDER BY Category.Categories"
Me.cboCategory = Me.cboCategory.ItemData(0)
Modules & VBA :: Combo Box Will Display Specific List Of Items - Form Asking For Parameter
May 5, 2015I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate()
Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));"
End Sub
Parameter Query Asking For Parameter More Than Once!
Nov 9, 2006Hi,
I have a query that requires a Start-Date and an End-Date to be input by user for the Where clause. It is asking for both over and over. I've had it ask from 1 up to 4 times! :eek: Shouldn't it store the input and only ask for it once? I'm thinking that the way my query is arranged may be causing it to have to loop through that section more than once to find the data, but that's just my theory. Any help would be great!
Here is my code (abbreviated slightly):
SELECT DISTINCTROW C1.*, C2.*
FROM Pen AS C1 INNER JOIN Jobs AS C2 ON C1.subno=C2.[Jobs Acct]
WHERE ((C1.typ="SS" Or C1.typ="CC" Or C1.typ="PP" Or C1.typ="TT") And C1.stdate>=[Enter Start Date] And C1.stdate<=[Enter End Date] And C2.[Type]<>"EE" And C2.[Type]<>"QQ" And C1.entdate<=C2.[ChangeDate]+60);
I'm selecting rows from "Pen" and "Jobs" that have the same subno/Jobs Acct numbers (text), then there are criteria for "Pen" types, user inputs criteria for date range (Start Date and End Date) and there are criteria for "Jobs" types. Finally, there's a cross-table criteria based on a date field ("Pen" entdate should not be more than 60 days past the "Jobs" ChangeDate). Tables are in quotes in my explanation here.
So running the above, it asks for user input "Enter Start Date", then again for "Enter End Date"...but then it asks for each again...and again...and sometimes again!
Help! :confused:
P.S..I didn't notice this repeating until I made it user input (parameter query) because it was using whatever dates I hard-coded in there before.

Is this possible and can someone explain to me how to do it?

Parameter Query
Oct 19, 2005Dear All,
I am having problems finding a solution to this problem. I am working on 3 databases at the moment..and am at the final hurdle to complete it.
I have built an Access database. I would like to generate a
number of reports which have to be exported directly into excel
individually.
I have a parameter query with 14 columns. One of the columns
is called GROUPS. I have a form with a button.
When you click on the button the parameter query asks for the
parameter value.
The parameter value must be a GROUP. i.e BURR, WIEN.
After you enter the group the parameter query generates results for
that particular group.
I have a number of groups which i would like to generate results
for at the click of the button on the form.
There are around 30 groups. but i only need to generate reports for
about 15 groups. The groups are stored in one of the tables.
So for instance after i click a button on the form
the results for each requested "GROUP" are exported individually into
excel.
Each group result must be in one excel file.
How can i achieved this. Do i need to use VBA? Please can you help.
I need a solution then i can apply this to a number of databases
Many, Many thanks

Feb 6, 2006Hi, I'm a complete novice to Access and wonder if anyone can help me with this one please? I have a column in a query that is the output from a barcode scanner called WhenScanned from a table tblScans. The data in the column is in the format of the date and time for example: 20/01/2006 21:30:00 I want to be able to interrogate the data in the query by selecting a range of a date(s) and times for example from 20/01/2006 05:30:00 to 20/01/2006 13:29:00, date and time range from 13:30:00 to 21:29:00, date and time range from 21:30:00 to next day 05:29:00. I can achieve this by typing the required range into the criteria row of the query column in design view e.g. >=#20/01/2006 13:30:00# And <=#20/01/2006 21:29:00# for each range but I want to make it more user friendly so that a user can select type in the appropriate date and select the time range from a drop down list or something without having to edit the query using syntax. Thanks in anticipation.

Parameter Query
Mar 21, 2006Hey guys
I was wondering how I would go about making it so that a query will run or not run based on the input from a combo box.
I have a form with several combo boxes. And a couple of these controls a query that I would like to be optional. Right now it runs no matter what the input in the combo box, but I would like it to run based on the selection of the box (ie. "Yes" or "No" type input)
Your help on this is much appreciated
