Parameter Value For Combo Box Needed During Form_close
Feb 13, 2005
Hello
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

Hello,
I have got a serious problem with parameter searches. What I want are multiple field parameter searches in one query. I created a new query, and set the criteria to Like "*" & [...] & "*" for at least 5 fields. The problem now is, that the number of records get less the more parameter searches i create for different fields.
I tried to put the parameters into the "or" criteria but it still does not work!
please give me a hint.
Thank you!
John
PS please ask me when you did not understand my question.

When the close button on the top right of the form is pressed I want the following code to be run:
Private Sub Form_Close()
Dim preview As Boolean
Dim checkForOldBooks
Dim count As Integer
preview = False
count = DCount("*", "tblOldItems")
If count > 0 Then
Call saveAndOutput_Reports("rOldBooks", "oldBooks", preview)
Call saveAndOutput_Reports("rBarCodeList", "BarcodesScanned", preview)
Else
Call saveAndOutput_Reports("rBarCodeList", "BarcodesScanned", preview)
End If
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
I put this code in the Form_Close trigger because I want it to execute everytime the form is closed. The problem I'm having is when I run the form and press the close button the code does not seem to execute. However if I put a breakpoint in the trigger, run the form and press the close button, the program does go into the trigger and the code executes as it should when I step through it.
To troubleshoot I also created a button and added the above code, when the form is run and the button is pressed the code executes as it should it just does'nt work in the close_form trigger.
Does anyone know why this may be happening.

Hi
Bit of an Access beginner and am trying to sort something out for work - not sure why they've asked me!
I've created a query to search on a couple of items using drop down boxes on a search form I created. This bit of it works fine, I used this site http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm and copied what he had done. This is fine.
I now want to add a date search to the same query. I know I can use Between [..] AND [..] but if I leave the boxes blank it finds no records. I'd like it to search and include all.
Ideally I want to include 2 extra text boxes on my form that I can put a to and from date in (or not put a date in and it find everything).
Hope that makes sense, please can someone do me an idiots guide?
Many thanks
Phil

I have created a report that prints a transaction input via a form. All the data has been posted to tables while the document details are still on the form. The source for the report is a query that gets its "Document ID" from the current form as its CRITERIA. This works fine. I click a button and the report prints.
Now I've added a datasheet that lists all the "Document IDs" that have been posted within a given date range. I've added a Macro to open(reprint) the same report when any Document ID is double-clicked. This is working except that it prompts for a Parameter Value and references Forms!DocDataEntry!txtDocumentID. (Note: this is the name of the original data entry form which is no longer open)
If I manually type the Document ID (that I just double-clicked) in the parameter box, the report prints correctly. But this shouldn't be necessary.
I know I'm missing a WHERE clause on the Macro that opens the report but nothing I've input works. I can't even hard code a document number. Actually any Where clause provided prompts additional parameter boxes to open and they ALL require the SAME INFORMATION... the Document ID.
I'm thinking that the Criteria on the Document ID in the query should be changed to allow a Document ID from any active source.

Please help. My inability to achieve this is very frustrating.
I have a tabular form based on a query, which returns a large number of records. I need users to be able to filter the records to display data relating to what they have entered in a number of combo boxes.
For example I have fields showing Product ID, Manufacturer ID, Purchase Order number and due date. Each of these fields has a corresponding unbound combo box where users can select values that appear in the table. I need to be able to filter the form based on what is in these combo boxes. I.e. Filler for a product ID to show all purchase orders numbers and due dates relating to that product ID or filter for a manufacturer ID and due date to show all Product IDs and purchase orders relating to that a manufacturer and date.
Ideally this would be achieved by pressing a command button.
The query, table and combo boxes are all built and work fine but I am unable to get the filter to work, I am using Access 97 and am not very familiar with visual basic. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

when you create a query which requires a user-entered parameter, is it possible for parameter box to contain a combo box with a list of values?

Hello friend,
I have made one query and added parameter. Whenever running query, asking the parameter value and press enter to run the query. Any one can tell me that instead of typing in parameter box, can i use combo box to just call the value from table.
Please help me.

I 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?

Is 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?

Hello,
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
PS: I am running Access 2003.

I 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?

I 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.

I 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?

I 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...

I 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?

Hi
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

I 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?

tried 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)

I 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

I 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.

Hi,
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.

I need some help on a database that is set up for work use.
It's rather large and I have no technicial knowledge of access whatsoever so an answer in plain english would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the screen that i am having the problem with. The blank fields contain peoples names and addresses. On this page i have to click on "update service user" on the first user, the database opens a seperate page and i enter a few details, then i click to go back to this screen.
When I return back to the screen, the scroll bar is at the top of the list. This is OK when I am doing the first few letters of the alphabet (the users are listed alphabetically) but when i have too use the scroll bar and choose the letters later down the list, then click to update then return to the screen and the scroll barr is not where i left it...ie: it's at the top.
So what I am asking is, is there a way of freezing this scroll bar so it will stay there even when i have navigated away from the screen to update each user?
If someone could answer me this query then I would be most grateful as it's quite time consuming for me to use the scroll bar and find the next person that i need to update.
