I have a form that I am populating a ComboBox via a Query. It works but sometimes it flakes out and does not populate the box.
What I want to do is run this through code.
I am a bit stuck. I think that I need to set the recordset, Create a SQL query, Run the query and push the results to the ComboBox. Think this should be on the Click event of the combobox.
Dont really know where to get started.
Does anyone have a rough example of:
1. Getting the recordset
2. A general SQL query (how to run it)
3. How to push the results to the ComboBox
I have a table filled with company contacts and form with a combo box containing the contacts names.
When a contact is selected I want it to show their Telephone, Mobile and email address in text boxes below. But it only shows the telephone number and the other two fields stay blank.
what I'm doing wrong ?
I have this code assigned to the combobox:
Code: Private Sub MainContact_Change() Me.Text169 = Me.MainContact.Column(3) Me.Text167 = Me.MainContact.Column(2) Me.Text177 = Me.MainContact.Column(1) End Sub
And this is the row source:
Code: SELECT tbl_Contacts.Salutation & " " & tbl_Contacts.ContactForename & " " & tbl_Contacts.ContactSurname AS MainContact, tbl_Contacts.ContactTelephone, tbl_Contacts.ContactMobile, tbl_Contacts.ContactEmail FROM tbl_Contacts WHERE (((tbl_Contacts.ID_Company)=[tbl_CompanyBookings].[ID_Company]));
I've got an access front-end database running on Access Runtime on a Terminal Server with a back-end on a data server both of which are hosted by a remote company and accessed via Terminal Services. All is well and the database is working fine but because this is a cloud system I need a way that I can easily delve into the tables on the back-end without copying it down locally from the cloud each time (I've set up an "administrator" option so that this would be available to limited users). I've got the front-end forms working as I'd like but I have quite a few tables and I'd like to avoid creating a separate form for every table. I've been able to populate a combobox on my form with the list of linked tables and I'd like that when I choose a particular table from this list that the whole table is then visible within a subform below in case I need to manually intervene with the data for any reason.
Is it possible to populate a single combobox with data from 3 different tables.
I have a table called observations (for observing deer), in that table is a field called Location, I have 3 other tables that list possible locations t_foodplots, t_stands and t_section.
I would like to have a combobox called location on my observations form that will allow me to select the proper location from one of those 3 tables, the choices would be something like this...
Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Stand 1 Stand 2 Stand 3 Foodplot 1 Foodplot 2 Foodplot 3 etc....
The chosen value would be stored in the t_observations "location" field.
I have a list of staff that have a conflict of interest with a particular entity. As a result, these staff are not allowed to interview these entities.
I have a query that matches all staff with their respective entities that they have a conflict of interest with (CoI) and that is functioning correctly.
When the form loads to add an interview, there is a listbox that pulls all the people who are not allowed to do an interview with that particular entity. That is also working correctly.
I have a subform, that is a continuous form, which will allow the user to add staff, one at a time, via a drop down box. These people are stored in their own table with a FK Id to the interview table. This also works correctly.
How to filter the combobox on the subform to exclude the people in the listbox.
Here is what I have tried, loosely based on what I have found on Google and researching here. I am 100% sure it is not working correctly, but what I am missing.
The query the listbox is based on has 3 colums, the ID, the Name, and the business contract number.
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() Dim strSource As String Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To Me.lstCoI.ListCount - 1
[Code] ....
In the immediate window, I get the following result:
SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name1 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name2 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name3 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name4 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name5 SELECT [staff] FROM lutStaff WHERE Staff <> name6
The issue is that the box is not filtering all the names out of the list it is built on. It is only filtering out the last name.
Obviously I need to save the results for comparison, but I am at a loss on how to do that.
I have a form based on a query.On the form I have 4 comboboxes.The combo boxes filter eachother without a problem (based on custom select query).Now I want after the fourth combobox value is selected, I want to populate a text field with a value from a different column from the master query (after the 4 selections only 1 value should be possible)I try to say this easy.Master query contains 5 columns:
- group - type - job - insurance - charge
combo1 selects group (and filters records) combo2 selects type (from remaining records and filters again) combo3 selects job (from remaining records and filters again) combo4 selects insurance (from remaining records and filters again)
[code]....
This works great and the dropbox only shows 1 OF EACH DIFFERENT record...If I add a text box and want to see the "charge" value, that I thought I could use the ME.text-code. But in order to do this, I have to add the charge column into the query of Combo4.the dropbox for insurance gives me multiple values that are the same. Is there any way to make this work?
I would like to create a combobox on a form in which a user has three selections: negative, positive, other.
If negative is chosen a textbox auto-populates with "none detected". If positive is chosen the text box populates with "positive" and If other is selected the text box populates with "unspecified".
In my quality control database QC techs will be entering in test results. Each quality control entry they put in will have a product and lot number it is related too.
My question is about making data entry easier for the QC techs. When two jobs are being run at once, the techs may have to alternate between which jobs they enter, meaning a different product and lot number. It would be frustrating for the QC techs to enter in a product code and lot number for every entry they make.
Can the lot number field be automatically populated when the tech selects a product? Basically, if the tech selects product A, can the last lot number value for product A automatically populate the field in the new entry?
Edit: Currently I have the "solution" of making two instances of the entry form with each lot number entered on the different one. This allows the QC Techs to use the CTRL+ ' to populate the last record, allowing them to quickly enter the product code, lot number, and date of the job they are working on.
Got a bit stuck in a database. I have a form based on a query. On the form I have 4 comboboxes.
The combo boxes filter eachother without a problem (based on custom select query)
Now I want after the fourth combobox value is selected, I want to populate a text field with a value from a different column from the master query (after the 4 selections only 1 value should be possible)

combo1 selects group (and filters records) combo2 selects type (from remaining records and filters again) combo3 selects job (from remaining records and filters again) combo4 selects insurance (from remaining records and filters again)
Combo4 is based on following query: -column1 Insurance Total=Group by Show=yes -column2 Job Total=Where show=no Criteria [forms]![name].[combo]
This works great and the dropbox only shows 1 OF EACH DIFFERENT record
If I add a text box and want to see the "charge" value, that I thought I could use the ME.text-code. But in order to do this, I have to add the charge column into the query of Combo4.
If I do this, the dropbox for insurance gives me multiple values that are the same. Is there any way to make this work?
I am creating a student database. I have crated a single table for this database and a form. Two combo boxes. I have created these two combo boxes named (Documents Submitted and Documents pending).
These two boxes I created using "Lookup coloumn". I selected "I will type in the values that I want" for both the boxes. After I filled the values in both as (CV, Ielts, Passport Copy, Certificates, photo id). After this I gave the name and selected "Allow multiple values".
Now in my form it shows both the combo boxes and in both the boxes it shows CV, Ielts etc. I can select multiple Items in both the boxes. I hope I am clear up to here.
Now at this point these two boxes (Document Submitted and Documents pending) are showing items (documents names) separately. What I want is to combine the values of both. I want to do is, if I select "CV, IELTS, passport copy" in document submitted box, rest of the pending names (Photo ID, Certificates) should automatically be filled in Document pending box. What ever I didn't select in Document submitted box should appear in Document pending box.
For better understanding i am attaching my file with it.
Database that will show both his side income information as well as his regular income and expenses. I have constructed a tables for the categories, his rec/payables which has information for both his personal & business, the other table he wants to filter only information regarding the business. I set up a form with a subform (business). I need the combo box in the main form to auto populate the matching fields in the business subform, everything but the client name and id. I have tried creating a query for criteria business, it works in query mode but not when I try to use it on the form.
The main form: IncSrc IncAmt ExpSrc ExpAmt ActionDate
The subform IncSrc IncAmt ExpSrc ExpAmt ActionDate ClientName ClientID
I am creating a Database to track product details and inventory for items we purchase.
I have several Tables and several Forms already working properly, except for one thing.
I have a Form called "Lights", and it contains a ComboBox called Light_Name and 6 TextBoxes: Manufacturer, Model_Number, Cost, Weight, Light_Type, Notes. It also has an Attachment Field linked to the same table.
I am using the Code:
Me.TEXTBOX = Me.Light_Name.Column(#)
to populate the Textboxes with the relevant info from the Light Table.
This works for every Textbox I have.
However I cannot get the Attachment Box to change. And when I try to add code to it I get a debug error. The Attachments are PDFs and I need them to show based on the ComboBox Selection.
I have tried the same code as above, and as I said, it gives me an error.
I am trying to write a code that will execute at the change even of the combobox/Listbox and when a character is typed in it then all the data from "DocumentType" field whose first character matches with the first character typed in Combo/Listbox will be stored in it.
The following code doesn't work:
Private Sub ComboBox4_Change() Dim strText, strFind As String strText = Me.ComboBox4.Text If Len(Trim(strText)) > 0 Then strFind = "BarcodeRef like '" & strText & "*'" End If
Trying to pull information from a text box on double click to populate a combobox on another form...
keeps coming up "type mismatch"
I call lngAccount as recognised on mouseover... ("Business Account" is the value I want)
I can't get it to work!
For info, the form I'm calling from is a subform located FrmMainMenu/FrmAccountsMainMenu and the control source is [Account]
the form I wish to populate in on FrmTransactions (it is a main form only) and the combobox is cboaccountselect - **I've seen the obvious mistake with no reference to this whatsoever, corrected it, and still not working**
I have a list of dates of births in a table, but the way they are always imported (from some piece of crappy software somewhere) is in the format of: 01.01.2005 (using full stops).
Access doesn't like this, and insists on slashes, or dashes. Now, if I do a find/replace, it works perfectly, just replacing all the full stops with slashes. However, I want to do this quite regularly...any ideas how to do it programatically in VBA?
Is it possible to unlink and link to tables in a back end using VBA in the front end?
I need to do this or something similar because when I send updates of the front end out I may have added an extra table and thus want to be able to get the user to run an update module to link any new tables.
I know you can manually delete table relationships in an .mdb, but I was wondering: Can you programatically delete table relationships? If it is possible, how would it be done?
I could set the Combobox.Value to one of the values in the combo box and combo box displays that value. But when I try to use Combobox.Value subsequently it does not have any value. I noticed that the value property is populated only when the combox box item is manually selected(highlighted).
However, what do I have to do to programatically revert from my current version of Access to a previous version? Is there a shell option similar to the /CONVERT choice? It would be nice if it was as simple as /REVERT
I have a subfom that displays perfectly in datsheet view.
One of the columns changes its contents depending on a value. i.e. a list of units or a list of costs. I change the data using a Recordset update.
When in the Main Form I am trying to change the column label that appears in the SubForm header above the column, to either 'Units' or 'Cost, to match the data.
I am strugging to find the correct syntax, can anyone help?
I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.
I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate() If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable" Else If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable" End If End If End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
How would I modify multiple comboboxes in subforms at the same time. For example.. In main form ComboboxA user selects 1992, Combobox1 in subform1 is also changed to 1992, as well as Combobox2 in subform 2.
