Pass Selected Value In List To Text Box
Dec 4, 2006
I have two forms - Notes and JobLookup
Notes contains a number of text boxes for entering data, one of them being for Job No. Beside it is a link to the form JobLookup. This form contains a simple listbox that lists all the job no. Is it possible to pass the selected job no from this list to the text box on the Notes form?
Hope this makes sense :)

All -
For the life of me I can't get the Multiselect Listbox to correctly pass along all of the item selections to a Query which a form is based on.
I've been up and down the forum, and I can't figure out what piece of code to use and how to use it successfully.
I've been able to get a string created using the example posted here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47909) and it's in the format of "54,67,89,100" etc.
Public Function
Public Function fMultiSelect(ctlRef As ListBox) As Variant
Dim Criteria As String
Dim i As Variant
' Build criteria string from selected items in list box.
Criteria = ""
For Each i In ctlRef.ItemsSelected
If Criteria <> "" Then
Criteria = Criteria & ","
End If
Criteria = Criteria & Format(ctlRef.ItemData(i), "0000000")
Next i
fMultiSelect = Criteria
gMultiSelect = Criteria
End Function
Call:
Call fMultiSelect(Forms!frmPreSPIPComp!lstProjects)
I now need to pass that string to a Query. Once it's been passed to the query, I can open the report based on it.
Essentially I have a button that will perform the string creation, and I would then like to open a report. I want to base the report off of a query and then have the query use Criteria to dwindle down the report.
Am I missing something here?
The long explanation:
I have a single form that allows for the selection of the report. Once the report is selected, certain fields appear that allow for certain criteria to be selected (ie. Class Name, Multi-Select Class Name, Student Names, Multi select Student Names, Dates, etc.)
Once the report has been selected and the criteria set, a user hits a single button that runs the specific report.
Any better ideas of how to set this up. The reports will ultimately be basing their criteria on what the form has in all of it's unbound fields.
I also have a table that specifies the Display Name, actual Report Name for the button to figure out what report to run.
Bottom Line. I want to use a Listbox to filter a report. If I can use a query to base the report off of even better. I don't want to create the SQL in VBA.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I have a form with 1 List Box. This list box contains the names(SSN, Department, Status) of the columns in TableA.
The question is, can I create just ONE query statement, and base the GROUP BY on whichever field the user selects?
For example, if a user choose Department, then the query will group by Department. I know how do this by the long way; meaning I create 3 separate for each,(qrySSN, qryDepartment, qryStatus) and if say the user select SSN, it will open the qrySSN query. This is way too much maintenance. I have a feeling there is a much easier way. Please advice.
Thank you.

Hi folks,
I have created a form, which extracts records from a table and displays them in
a list box. This works, but what I want to do next is highlight a single record in
that list box, click a button and have the record open in another form. This is
the code I have at present:
Private Sub DisplayEnquiry_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_DisplayEnquiry_Click
Dim dispCriteria As String
dispCriteria = "[SupportEnquiriesTable].[EnquiryID]='" & Forms![Search All].[ListSearch].Column(0) & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Support Enquiries", , , dispCriteria
Exit_DisplayEnquiry_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_DisplayEnquiry_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_DisplayEnquiry_Click
End Sub
When I try this I get an error "The OpenForm action was canceled. You used a method of the DoCmd
to carry out an action in Visual Basic, but then clicked Cancel in a dialog box."
I've double-checked that I've typed in the correct names etc. so I am at my wits end!
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks

I have a MS Access database, which contains three main tables. With these I have a completed table, which holds either Yes/No within it.
One of the tables, I have linked to the Completed table as a list box, which when a job has been completed, either yes or no can be selected.
But, what I want to happen, is, when the Yes is selected, I want Access to insert the date the 'Yes' was selected, so that the employee cannot lie about the date the job was completed.
Hope I have explained this in a good enough fashion.
I don't have a clue how to go about it, could anyone help.

I have a query with the following structure;
aDate(pkey) cost1 cost2 cost3 calc1 calc2 calc3
01/012014 ,,,,,,,,,1,,,,,, 2,,,,,,, 3,,,,,, 1,,,,,,, 2,,,,, 3
01/02/2014 ,,,,,,,,1,,,,,, 2,,,,,,,, 3,,,,,, 2,,,,,, 4,,,,,, 6
01/03/2014,,,,,,, 1 ,,,,, 2,,,,,,, 3,,,,,,, 3,,,,,, 6 ,,,,, 9
01/04/2014 ,,,,,, 1,,,,,,,, 2,,,,,,, 3 ,,,,, 4,,,,,, 8,,,,,, 12
fields calc1,2,3 are running totals of cost1,2,3
I expect/hope to first calculate the sum of a cost field and then minus the value of its corresponding calc field from a specific record.
result = sum(cost1) - calc1 selected record value
I want to select the calc1 record from a drop down list of the primary key. Which cost field is in the equation will static/defined as I intend to make a textbox for each field.i need to know the code to pick a field(and retrieve it's value) from a record selected via dropdown list.
