Populate List Boxes When A Form Field Changes Value

Nov 28, 2005

I have three list boxes on a form (lstSubjectName, lstTargetGrName, lstCountryName). The list boxes are populated from queries
based upon tables that have a many-to-one relationship to the main table. The
queries are the following:

SELECT tblProjectSubject.ProjectID, tblProjectSubject.SubjectName
FROM tblProjectSubject
WHERE (((tblProjectSubject.ProjectID)=[Forms]![frmViewPro]![ProjectID]))
ORDER BY tblProjectSubject.SubjectName;

SELECT tblProjectTargetGr.ProjectID, tblProjectTargetGr.TargetgrName
FROM tblProjectTargetGr
WHERE (((tblProjectTargetGr.ProjectID)=[Forms]![frmViewPro]![ProjectID]))
ORDER BY tblProjectTargetGr.TargetgrName;

SELECT tblProjectCountry.ProjectID, tblProjectCountry.CountryName
FROM tblProjectCountry
WHERE (((tblProjectCountry.ProjectID)=[Forms]![frmViewPro]![ProjectID]))
ORDER BY tblProjectCountry.CountryName;

The form is based on the main table (tblProjects).
I want to re-populate/update the list boxes when the ProjectID on the form
changes. I have tried to use a macro (ProjectID_AfterUpdate) for requery of
the list boxes, but can't get it to work.
Any other solutions? Thanks.

Form With List Boxes Won't Populate Underlying Table

Oct 10, 2013

I have a form called Adaptation Form in which Last Name and Course Number are entered.

The user looks up Last Name using a listbox on the form, and looks up Course Number using a second listbox on the form.

To use the form, the user looks up Last Name in the listbox, finds the ID number associated with the Last Name, and enters the ID number on the form. The form then autopopulates with the last name. The process for entering a Course Number is the same.

This populates the query underlying the form, but not the table. All that gets populated in the table is the ID Number for Last Name and the ID number for Course Number.

Using List Boxes To Populate Tables

Nov 9, 2006

Hi all,

I need some help with regards to a small db application im developing.

I currently have a form that contains two separate list boxes.

The first contains "Measures" and the second "Dimensions". They are based on the underlying tables Measures and Dimensions respectively.

My intention is to be able to select whatever Measures I want and select the dimensions they relate to in the other list box then click on a command button to run a query that would update/append my underlying table, Measures2Dimensions, which is linked to the tables that the list boxes are based on.

I hope I've described my problem well enough for someone to provide me with some help.

Many thanks in advance!

Updating Table Field From A Form W/List Boxes

Oct 31, 2005

This is my first post, but I've been lurking for sometime. I'm grateful for all the great advice given here; despite my efforts, I can't find anything directly related to what I'm doing, though.

I have a form that is populated from a query. The query has some calculated fields and some direct selection fields from a couple of tables. One of the direcly selected fields is one that I'm trying to populate from the items in a list box.

On this form, there are two list boxes, List1 and List2. The user makes selections in List1 and clicks a command button, which runs code so that the second list box is populated with the items from List1. This was shown here:

MS Article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnofftalk/html/office03022000.asp)

I actually just used this code and made changes accordingly so that this feature is working perfectly. However, the items in List2 need to be updated into a table's field, and this is where I'm having the problem.

I've got List2 bound to the proper field in the query, and I can manually run that query and make changes in that field fine. What I can't figure out is why I can't get the ItemsData property of the List2 control in there. For ease of code, I've added a line that copies the List2 rowsource variable to another variable so that the values can be used elsewhere. I can't seem to get the field to receive the variable in VBA, and I can't figure out how to get the values back into the query so that the query's source table is updated.

Any clues? Or is this unclear? I'm happy to give any further information. I've been working on this for more than a week, trying different things, and I'm at wits' end.

Forms :: Populate Field With Drop Down List

Oct 25, 2013

Is there a function that will populate a field with drop down menu based on two criteria?I want the the fields with first and last name to populate with drop down lists based on the employee code I have inputted in the form and job title from a query.

Path: looks at employee code from form > looks at specific job title from query > pulls out all first names in one field and all last names in another field with the same job title in drop down list from query

Employee Code: 100

Returns all employees' first names in first field with same job title:

Prince
Tina
Greg

Returns all employees' last names in second field of form with same job title:

Fey
William
Jones

Here's what the query looks like in datasheet view:

Code:
Location # First Name Last Name Job Title Employee Code
1 John Smith Technician 100
2 Jane Doe Manager 100
2 Greg Jones Engineer 100
1 Prince William Engineer 100
1 Tina Fey Engineer 100

I've been trying to get dlookup to work, but no luck. Here's one of my formula:

Code:
=DLookUp("[Last Name]", "[Employees tb]", _ "[Employee Code] = Form![Employee Code]" & "[Employees tb]", _ " [Manager]"
SELECT EmployeeCodeONLY.[Employee Code] FROM EmployeeCodeOnly;
SELECT [Employees tb].[First Name] FROM [Employees tb] WHERE ((([Employees tb].[First NAME])=[Forms]![Form1]![Employee Code]));

The first is linked to a separate table that only contains employee codes because query I am working with has duplicates due to multiple records.The second is trying to link both the table and query together to populate only first name.how to include the second criteria, job title, to refine it more.

General :: Populate List Box With Distinct Months From Date Field

Nov 27, 2012

I have a table of data which includes a date field and also various other fields which may or may not be filled with data.I'm trying to populate a listbox with the months for which this data is missing (a separate macro will then loop through these months to fill the missing data) But I only want each distinct month to populate the listbox - not each individual date.

Code:
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT month([EntryDate]), year([EntryDate]) FROM [SampleTable] WHERE [ValueField] Is Null"
Me.lstSampleListBox.RowSource = strSQL

I want to return the month in <mmm yyyy> format.

Entering Information On A Form To Populate Remaining Open Text Boxes

Dec 18, 2014

I am in the process of (attempting) to develop a database and application for Parking & Violation Management. I have two tables at this point: "Parking Registration" and "Violations" that are linked by a "Permit #". I have developed a form that will allow the officer to enter either the "Permit" or the "Licence Plate" of a vehicle to run a "Vehicle Check" query to produce specific information for the vehicle in question; which is what I wanted, kind of... The problem is that the resulting data pops up in "table" format, and contains multiple fields, making review of the data difficult due to its lengthy, linear nature. Is there a way to have those results appear in text boxes either on a separate form or the "Vehicle Check" form itself?

Filter Split Form Using List Boxes

Jan 5, 2015

I've set up a split form for data entry on a form called "frmqryTask" that once opened, I'd like to be able to filter using list box controls.I've set up a couple of different reports with cascading list boxes to only pull in the information wanted on the reports and would basically like "more or less" the same functionality within a split form. I know I could do this before the form is actually launched using the same cascading list boxes, however the users need to easily by able to filter once inside the form. (I tried to show a couple people how to filter on the bottom section on a column called "SourceName" and they would up changing the values. SourceName is linked to another table as a combo box thru the lookup wizard in the table setup.)

There will probably be three different list boxes to allow for different filtering based on the combination of the values for;

1) SourceName
2) SourceNameType;
3) SourceNameStatus.

Creating A Windows Wizard Style Form (list Boxes)

Feb 8, 2006

I am currently creating a database to link together a maintenance system and a conditional reporting system and I’ve run into a little problem.

I am trying to create a form for assigning skills to a given contractor (contractor selected via a combo box (cboContractor)) by transferring selected items from a list box on the left (lstAvailable) to a list box on the right (lstselected). (much like any windows wizard would) This is done through the 4 buttons cmdSelect, cmdSelectAll, cmdDeselect, cmdDeselectAll.

Now it has been a long time since I have had to work with VB and I am struggling a little to create the required coding to pass data from one listbox to the other.

For reference:

CboContractor takes information from tblContractor. The data is ContID and ContName and the bound column is 1.
LstAvailable takes information from tblSkills. The data is SkillID, SkillComm and SkillNotes. Bound column is 1
LstSelected will place data into tblcontskills.
Tblcontskills has the fields, tcsID, ContID, SkillID

Can anyone help or does anyone know where I can find some good examples on the net as I have browsed through the search pages here and not really found a great deal that is valid

Thankyou in advance for your help everyone

Forms +List Boxes +Text Boxes With Formulas

Nov 8, 2004

I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.

Thanks,

Use Multi-select List Box To Filter A Report With Two List Boxes

Nov 20, 2013

Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.

Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items

Hi, just a quick question that i hopes not too hard.

Basically i want one of the fields on my form to get automiatically filled in. I'd like it to take the first letter from one field and the first letter from another field. What im trying to do is make a primary key field up from other fields they have entered.

List Boxes And Combo Boxes

Feb 28, 2007

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.

Forms :: Populate Field In One Form From Text Box In Another Form

Jan 18, 2014

There are two forms invoolved in thi

pfrm_AddClientPrimary
pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck

On a command button in pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck I have the following code.

Code:
Private Sub cmdAddNewClient_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "pfrm_AddClientPrimary"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck"
End Sub

This works great

On the onOpen event of the pfrm_AddClientPrimary form I have this code

Code:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.FirstName = Forms!pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck!txtFirstName
Me.LastName = Forms!pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck!txtLastName
Me.SocialInsureanceNumber = Forms!pfrm_AddClientDuplicateCheck!txtSOcialInsureanceNumber
Me.FirstName.SetFocus
End Sub

This fails on the first line with this error
Run-time error 2147352567 (80020009)
You can't assign a value to this object

I am aware of the incorrect spelling of Me.SocialInsureanceNumber this is the way it is in the db.
