I am in the process of putting together a db that will automate performance evaluations for a large moving target of people.
The boiled down design is such that I have a 'Resources' table that contains all the individuals. It includes a 4 character job code as well as a numeric incident (or project) code. There is a table that contains The 'Duties' for each job code (and is thus joined) and one that is joined on the project code that gives pertinent info of that project. The table that I am having problems populating in this mix is the 'Evaluation' table.
What I want to do is have a form that I can select a supervisor (combo box) and an employee (combo box) from the same 'Resources' table. The employee selected will provide the project code as well as the job code. This will populate a form with the duties that the person will be responsible for and provide a rating section (Option Group) for a 1-5 numeric rating. The information that will be captured in the 'Evaluation' table will be the project number, the supervisor's record #, the employee's record #, and ten rating scores as well as a remarks section.
At this time, I'm getting a "recordset is not updateable" but am wondering if my basic design (and understanding) is off base. I am using 2 subforms and one of those has a subform within. I'm also wondering how to differentiate between new evals that need to be added as opposed to ones that need to be edited that have already been created.
If I have to upload the db, I will need to strip all data out and dummy some up. It can be done, but will take some time.
I have searched on this forum for other threads like this and in the db examples page, but didn't find anything. I have made a perfomance eval db in MSA 2003. It works fine except for one part. I need to score the individual on about 20 different criteria. Each one ranges from 1-5. I am having problems getting all the entries to sum when I run the report. Should I use combo boxes, check boxes, radio buttons or what? :confused: Then how do I get the individual scores to sum up when I am finished putting them in and run the report to print it? I have looked around the net for a Performance Evaluation template to see how it is done, but couldn't find one anywhere. Microsoft doesn't have one in their list of templates either. If anyone knows where to find one at, I'd appreciate that too. TIA for your help! I appreciate it.
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change() Me.Requery Me.cboCourseName.Requery Me.Check178.Requery End Sub
Hi, I have a form where it does an assement of the service in the call center. The evaluation form has 3 check boxes (yea, no, n/a). There are 163 employees that need to be evaluated on their performance. How would I go about setting this up? What I've done so far is made a table called evaluation with all the questions in it and 163 employee IDs. Now how do i get this evaluation to work properly and do the calculations? I know how it's suppose to be weighted but I don't know how to setup the tables so that this would actually work and save the information in a table so that I can create reports after. Thanks.
Hi everyone, I have a form that I am creating for the trainings at work for their training classes. Upon completion of the class, the trainess fill out an evaluation form based on how well the class was asking several questions rating each question 3 strongly agree, 2 Agree, and 1 Disagree. I am not having problems creating the form but is it possible to have somewhere at the bottom of the form were it will add the totals based on what they selected from the drop down menus?
Once a year we have a conference that has about 400 people attend. These people will participate in several classes, randomly, over a four day period. Each class hands out an evaluation form. This form has six categories and asks you to rate each from 1 to 5. This is done with a grid on the form labeled with 1 2 3 4 5 across the top and the attendees will put a checkmark or X in the appropriate box. This results in approximately 3000 evaluation sheets.
I will take these and manually enter the scores into a database I created in order to tally the results and generate reports. I have been asked to see if this process can be expedited by using a scanner to pull the scores from the sheets.
Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!
I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D
Hi 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.
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 have created a query to simply bring up various parameters asking questions which then give back the results that are correct! i am wondering if it is possible so that when the parameter boxes display on the screen, for you to be able to select the answer from a combo box list (within the parameter box) instead of typing them in???
hi I have a cascading combo box on a form where by you can first select a supplier of a part and then a part from that supplier. (Attached is a pic of my structure). Next I want to be able to create a record of a "complaint report" for that part in the combo box... (see structure). Any ideas? Many thanks, Rob
I have read the cascading combo box solution and would like to know if this would help me with my specific solution.
I have a subform that is used to populate a table which is later used to cost each row by linking to a costing table (see later).
3 off the columns in this form have been set up as combo boxes e.g.
(1)Supplier/(2)Product type/(3)Product 2 is dependant on 1 and 3 is dependant on 1 & 2
These combo boxes currently refer to my costing table to ensure that the user can only enter a combination that is in this table so that when I compare the data entered in my subform table these combinations will be present in the costing table.
I get the 2nd combo box to show only the product types available for the selected supplier by afterupdate me![Product type]requery on the 1st combo box
The 3rd combo box is dependant on both 1 & 2 so I have applied afterupdate me![product]requery which has filters in the query as follows Forms![subform]![Supplier] Forms![subform]![Product type]
This seems to work ok when entering data initially into the form which places it directly into my table
The problem I have is when someone later goes into a record and changes combo box 1 and the data in combo 2 & 3 may now not be an option so how can I force them to go and re-visit these filed before exiting the form?
The second problem is if they go to the next record in the form and select the 3rd combo box to edit the field the qry does not show the correct option and shows the ones for the previous row?
I have a Order form that i would like to use combo boxes when adding details records to the order. For example, my list of products is very long, each product belongs to a Series(category) I would like to create two combo boxes when placing an order. First one to select series, then another one to select product. I would like the product combo box to show only those products related to the series. Seems like a simple task but i am having so much trouble. I tried looking at the Northwind db because it has categories and products but in their order form their combo box just list products and there is no example like the one i want to do. Can anyone help?
I have attached a small version of my database/form. I am trying to display only those records in a subform based on the values selected from two combo boxes. So when the user selects a client from the 1st combo box, the 2nd combo box is populated with the tests that pertain to the client selected. When the user selects a test from the 2nd combo box, I want the records to update with only those records that have the test for that client. So if there is no record for that test, then no records should be displayed (even though they may have records for another test - not sure if that made sense...).
My whole purpose is to allow the user to select a test only once and only have to select the level list based on however many levels are available for that test (I want it to be simple for the user).
Example: Open up my form, select Alabama from the clients list. The subform has all of the tests for the client and the levels. Select Physics from the tests list. I now want the subform to display only the records were Test=Physics. Once I get that working, I will make ClientID and Test in the subform not visible (only the Level drop down list will be displayed). So when a user selects a level from the list, the table needs to get updated with all of the information (clientID, testID, levelID).
Have any suggestions? Any help will be much appreciated.
I'm sure this question must have been asked before but I can't find it here, so my apologies.
I have a form for collecting addresses, it has two combo boxes, the first contains a list of states, and then the second contains a list of postcodes found within that state based up a query with the criteria
[forms]![FRM_Delpoint]![StateID]
the problem is the second combo box always shows the list relevant to the first record.
I have a combo box who's Row Source Type is set to Table/Query and who's Row Source pulls 2 columns of data from an existing table (UserID;UserName).
I would like to set the first row on the combo to "*;Select All" and follow this by "UserID;UserName" for all users in the table.
I've tried using combobox.additem Item: = "*;Select All",Index: = 0 but it requires the combo box to have the Row Source Type set to Value List though I'm not sure how to pull in the table data if the type is set to Value List.
In my form I have 2 combo-boxes. The first combo-box is linked to the 2nd field in my table, the 2nd combo-box is linked to the 3rd field in my table. The selection of the 2 combo-boxes should show the content of the 4th field in my table.. No matter what I tried I could not get it to work.. Can somebody help me ?? :eek:
