I have a combo box on a form that shows 3 columbs from tblparts in the drop down, I wish to select one row from the drop down, that will enter the selected data in three fields on the form.
For example my form has three fields "part code", "Description", "cost".
Part Code = combo box
Description = Text Box
Cost = Text box
I want to select the data from the combo drop down to populate all three boxes.
Can sombody please help, as I have been stuck on this all afternoon. Cheers
Trying to update fields (bound) on a form (built using the wizard) from value selected in a combo box. I can get this to work with unbound text boxes using an After Update event handler and a code query along the lines of:
Me!TxtJobCode1 = Me!CboJobDesc.Column(1)
But this doesn't work where the form field is bound to a table.
So qu is - how do I achieve the same result using table fields instead of text boxes?
I could use text boxes but not sure then how I can save that data as a record in the table if it is not bound to fields.
I am trying to build a form in the MoldReq section so when the user selects the mold number(combo box) it will auto populate the Part_Name and Part_No fields by pulling the data from the Molds table.
I have tried following this video where I create a change event:
Code: Private Sub cboCombo31_Change() Me.txtPart_Name.Value = Me.cboMold_No.Column(3) Me.txtPart_No.Value = Me.cboMold_No.Column(4) End Sub
I have form with an unbound combo box which is populated from a query
It should populate a field in a table which is related to another - however it only works when i query by id number (primary key) and not the text value i want - is it possible to query both so it returns say 1,option 1 - then when selected it will place a 1 in the table - which is related to option 1 in another table instead of just having to select '1' which will mean nothing to a user?
I am using Access 2007 and have reviewed many blogs and looked at the Northwind db to try to solve this problem. I would like to create a form that functions in the same manner as the "Order Details" form in the Northwind db. Specifically, I want to create a form that will allow me to input a value and have the form get data from another table and populate the table I need populated.
I would like to populate a table "Outside", field names are Key, Name, term, Value, Date.
The table that contains the data is named "CV" and the filed names are Key, Name.
In the form, I would like to enter a value for Key into a combo box, and have it put the value for Key and for Name into the form, and allow me to enter whatever I want to in the Term, Value and Date field. When I tab out, I would like all this data to be in the table "Outside.
My database will be creating quotes based on employees entries. Each quote will be unique because of the part. Each part has the potential to have Precious Metals, and Base Metals included. The employee must select the number Precious Metals and Base Metals that a particular part has. The problem lies with what happens after this selection is made. There are three fields that need to be defined pertaining to each metal. I need the number selected to determine how many fields to make available. If there are two precious metals, I need to make the three fields available twice; one for both metals. I have the possibility for up to 5 Precious Metals and 10 Base Metals per part. How can I make the selection from a combo box populate that number of Metals Fields?
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'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do: 1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag") 2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool") 3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.
I am a self-admitted beginner so go easy . I have a query populated with all of my data. I am building a form based on two columns in the query: Pick Up Name, and Deliver to Name. Lets say I have records for company XYZ picking up at location A three seperate times, location B once, and location C four times. On the form I want to have my first combo box listing all the names of column "Pick Up Name". When I scroll down and select company XYZ, I want my second combo box to only display the three locations where company XYZ has picked up: A, B and C. Then I want the option of selecting either A, B or C and in a third box, display total number of times that company XYZ has picked up at selected location.
For example, I select company XYZ from the first drop-down. I select C from the second drop-down, from the list of three locations. I get a result of four, because company XYZ has delivered to location C four times.
Right now, I have my first combo box with the Pick Up Name data, where do I go from here? Any help or nudges in the right direction greatly appreciated!
I have done this before but cant remember how I did it...
I have a text box for Street Number
After the user types in a number (On Change) or when the StreetName (On Enter) I want the StreetName Combo Box to narrow down the street choices based on the Street Number.
So I need a query that will look at the Street Number textbox and then run a query to select jsut the Street Names with that House Number.
I cant remember the query or what code is needed to requery the Street Name combo box everytime it is clicked.
not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes. is it possible to have a disconnected ADO recordset populate a combo box in an Access Project (.adp)? i have a Access XP front end piping back to a SQL Server 2k dbase. i'm using a stored procedure to handle my insert, however i have a couple of combo boxes on my data entry form that i need to populate on the form's "OnLoad" event. i was wondering if i can populate these using a disconnected recordset (similar to functionality of the dataset object in ADO.NET)?
if not any ideas of best practices to populate combo boxes and limit connection resources?
I accidentally posted this in "general"...so I am posting it here under "forms", since it is "form" related. My intention was not to double-post...sorry. Summerwind had posted an example to auto populate a combo box. The code below follows his example, but is not working for me:
The fields I have on my form are:
cboCompany cboLocation
cboCompany is based on tblCompany( with fields CompanyName, Location)
When I update the cboCompany field, I want the cboLocation combo box to populate with all locations for the company that was entered into the cboCompany combo box on the form. E.g. The company "Visions" may be exist in the tblCompany with 3 different locations: Visions (Las Vegas), Visions (Ohio), Visions(California). When I pick the company "Visions" from the cboCompany combo box, I want the cboLocation combobox to be populated with "Las Vegas", "Ohio", and "California".
The code is as follows but returns empty records in cboLocation:
Code: Dim StrSource As String
StrSource = "SELECT Location FROM tblCompany WHERE tblCompany.CompanyName Like " & Me.cboCompany.Column(1) With Me.cboLocation .RowSource = StrSource .SetFocus .Dropdown End With
I'm creating a form that will have a combo box and several other fields on it. From the combo box, I want to be able to select a line from the combo box, click on the line and then have the form's other fields get populated.
I know I have to have the combo box and fields tied to either a table or to an underlying query, but what might be my best way to get the form populated?
Should I, in code tied to the form, run some coded SQL based on what I select and use the SQL results, or should I use something like recordsetclone, of which I have no experince?
Thanks inadvance to thoe who respond!! I reallyappreciate your help!!
Hi, I want that when a value from combo box is selected, based on it the values in the text box should appear. These are all bound columns.

I need to change a fields properties on a form depending on another fields data.
i.e. If a user ticks a Yes/No box saying they've done something they must also complete the date they did it. I can't set the date field in the table to be 'Required' as if ther is no tick then it doesn't need to be.
I have a table where there each record has 3 fields i need to add together for a fourth both in my form and the table and i need the data in that field to be uneditable. how might I accomplish this? In the control source i tried:
I have a form( frmDate) and a subform (frmChecks)-is off a query Checksquery . On the from is located only a list box lsatDate with rowsource to cross query Date . It is only display the dates. The sub form in designated to record numbers of checks, their first and last number and total amount of checks that have been requested to be issued.. It has 8 txt boxes : txtDate, txtChecksNumbers, txtSheetsNumbers, txtStartChecksNumber , txtEnd Checks Number, txtTotalAmount, txtBegginigofWeek and txtEndofweek. I have forgotten to mention that form and sub form have linkchildfiled-lstDate, and linkMasterfiled-txtDate so user can scroll date in list box and retrieve the records for past dates. I would like to program in form upload event if I can when a user opens form three things I need to be happened:
1) the txtStartCheksNumber would be populated of the last record txtEndChecksNumber, 2) the txtDate would be filled as date today, 3) and txtBeggininofweek would be populated off last record txtEndofweek with adding one day .
I have programmed txtSheetsNumbers in record source as =Round((LTrim([ChecksNumbers])/3)) b/c there three checks on one sheets and also programmed txtChecksNumbers as =Round(LTrim(([StartChecksNumber]+[ChecksNumbers]))) so that this field is populate adding starting checks number and checks numbers. I need this b/c many users use this form to print checks and every check must be accounted so filling the form correctly is very imperative and uploading these records would be very useful since many mistakes are made b/c users go to the last record to retire info. Users dont see the queries; they see only form and sub form once they request checks for printing.
I am creating an inventory database and was wanting to know how to make a combo box or any box auto populate information from tables. I would like to have a combo box so that you can do a search inside of it and find the necessary product, select it, and all the product specs will be displayed. I have created the combo box with this information, but no luck getting it to populate on the form itself. Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm doing a course on Access and I'm trying to populate a text box based on the value I select in a combo box.
Basically, in the combo box I want to select a drug (for pets, it's for a veterinary clinic...) and in the text box next to it I want the cost to pop up. The list of drugs with their costs are listed in a separate table, with the drug name in column 1 (counting from 0) and the cost in column 3. I then have a continous form so I'd like to be able to keep adding drugs and their costs and then sum up the drug costs in a text box with the total.
I have 2 questions which are linked. I am trying to run a query based on a selection from a combo box. Would someone be so kind to indicte if i need to use VB or can i do it directly from Access?
I have made the query and the combo box table but i am unable to get the combo box selection to be used in the query.
Additionally i want the query to look at a date range. In the query criteria i use "=now()" but i want the combo box selection to populate the rest of the criteria so it look like =now()+ XXX where XXX = a number of days, eg 14 or 30.
I am newish to background coding in access 2010. I have a call log with a form which is where the information on the caller/area is entered. There's a combo box that needs to populate a textbox with 3 different things, depending on whats selected. I'm using If,Then, Else.
The first selection needs to just have the textbox say something. I have that figured out with:
If Me.CboSource = "..." Then Me.Title = "..." (cboSource = combo, of course, and Title is the textbox.)
Next is where I'm fuzzy....The second selection needs to have the textbox populate with a dropdown list of choices from another table. No matter what I do, nothing is working. My latest attempt is:
ElseIf Me.CboSource = "External" Then Me.Title = [tablename].[name]
So I've created 3 tables - one for each information group arranged like so. However my problems are - I don't know how to make it so that as soon as all the info for one set of parts is filled another set automatically appears? And in the Design section of the Form I have the following error because I wasn't too sure what to use apart from a text box-
