Preventing A Combo Box From Changing Current Record?
Jul 24, 2005
hi all,
I have three values in a record labelled "Local, National & Rural", I want the user to be able to select one of these options, (e.g. Local) and then be able to right click and sort be selection.
However, when I lock the combo box, you can't select anything but if it is unlocked, it changes the current record to whatever the combo box has selected.
I'm not sure if this is a Table question or a Form question...
After a user enters data into all the fields on my form (ticket #, date, time, etc) and submits that form, I want to prevent them from going back to that record (or any record, for that matter) and make a change to it. Currently, they can do a "Find" on a specific ticket # while in the form and make any kind of change they wanted. ie: change the time they reported to a work site...
Is there an easy way to prevent this from happening?
Another problem bothering me. Wish someone can help me to solve it. I am doing the 'Edit' Option right now ... As a user friendly propuse, I had try to use a combo box to let user to choose my employee record with all the detail on but the problem is the program 'JUST' list the record they can not go to the current record!! When i try to edit my record, the program is not allow (for sure because they can't have a duplicate record on it). The reason is because the record just stay in the FIRST record but can not go to the current record. I do believe is the problem of i using the way of listing the record as below: Me.EmployeeName = Me.EmployeeName.Column(0) Me.IC = Me.EmployeeName.Column(1) Me.Nationality = Me.EmployeeName.Column(2) Me.Race = Me.EmployeeName.Column(3) Me.Sex = Me.EmployeeName.Column(4) Me.FMU = Me.EmployeeName.Column(5) Me.Position = Me.EmployeeName.Column(6) Me.SectionField = Me.EmployeeName.Column(7) Me.DOEmploment = Me.EmployeeName.Column(8) Me.DOResign = Me.EmployeeName.Column(9) Me.Remarks = Me.EmployeeName.Column(10)
So, Could someone help me to solve it like when i can use the combo box to select the Employee record with the details are on as the same time can go to current record... Thanks alot!!!
i do have the confident if i can go to the current record then my edit option can be working properly.
P/S: I had attach the picture... showing my program problem (with the red circle)
I can't get my combo box to do what I want. I think I need a line of code - (but I don't know how to write code !!)
I have two combo boxes on my form. The first one is used to enter a Client name (ClientID). I want to use the second combo box to enter a ClientPartner(PartnerID). But I want the drop down choice of ClientPartner to be restricted only to the ClientPartners at the Client selected in the first box.
They are related in tables (one ClientID can have many PartnerIDs).
My query tests OK, when I manually enter a ClientID. It doesn't work when I attach it to the combo box. I can see why - I need something that says "take the ClientID of the record on the CURRENT form". In the absence of this, its always taking the first ClientID in the database.
Here is the code behind the second ComboBox.
SELECT t_ClientPartners.PartnerID, t_ClientPartners.Name, t_ClientPartners.ClientID FROM t_ClientPartners WHERE (((t_ClientPartners.ClientID)=[Forms]![f_Deals]![ClientID])) ORDER BY t_ClientPartners.Name;
How do I make it do what I want? Is this something to do with Set Focus?
I am designing a contact management system and have hit a bit of a wall. I am farily new to Access so please advise if I am going about this the totally wrong way.
I have three tables; Contacts, Companies, Company_Addresses
Contacts: ContactID (P) CompanyID OfficeName
Companies: CompanyID (P)
Company_Addresses: CompanyID OfficeName (P)
What I want is when adding a contact, to have a drop down list in the CompanyID field showing all the companies in the Companies table, and then in the OfficeName field, have a list of only the offices related to the company selected in the previous field.
I can do the first list, but cant work out how to list only data related to the company selected in the previous field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Combo box on continuous form should have the control source listed as the field on the form that will be updated. The Row Source, however, is a query that includes 2 things: the field on the form that will be updated (this part will be nonvisible in your form) and the table/query of selections you want to show up in the combo box (visible). Then ensure the Bound column is set to 1 and the Column count is set to 2 with Column Widths as 0";1"
I am working on a database to track IT assets with third parties. I have a table called "Equipment" that includes info like model, serial numbers, purchase price, date, location, and "Asset ID". I have a second, single field table called "asset tag" that is just a list of asset ID tags, XYZ1000, XYZ1001, XYZ1002..
I created a one to one relationship between the two tables on the following fields: "equipment.assetID" and "asset tag.asset ID"
Once an "asset ID" is used, I would like it to either be grayed out or disappear from the list of available ID tags. Basically, I want it so that each "asset tag. Asset ID" can only be used once.
Hi All, I have a form that when loads, runs some VBA on the "On Current" event. Some of that code, fills in text boxes, with concatenated (?) strings. So every time I use the record selector and get to the end of all the records, the "On Current" fires adds the concatenated string (even if it's empty), and that then becomes a new record! Is there some way i can prevent this, but still keep the "On Current" event, some type of logic I could run before the concatenations etc.
I have a table with a blank record at the begining and populated records thereafter. I used the cmd button wizard to create a delete button for that table. Is there a way to prevent the blank record (record 1) from being deleted by the command button but still allow all other records to be deleted?
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
One of the common denominators between them is the URN which is auto-populated as it is an auto number field. My issue is that when I want to add a new record to the payments table using the forms (I can get to the payments form via the register form), I want to be able to identify the record that I am currently viewing within the register and auto populate the URN field with the same number. This is what I have done so far,
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private Sub AttachPaymentDetails() Call PerformInsert("tblFinancialBudget", "frmFinancialBudget") End Sub
I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
I'm struggling with a query to evaluate current and prior record data. I have a query producing 5000 records. I need to group records by Case ID and compare current date record to previous date record to determine if a team and worker name has changed during the year. I need to count how many times a cases is transferred to and out of a particular team from the beggining of the year. i.e., On 1/1/2014-Team1 has an inventory of 500 cases.
During the month 25 cases are transferred into Team1 and 15 cases are transferred out of Team1. So on 2/1/2014 Team1 begins with an inventory of 510 cases. Throughout the year cases come and go from and to Team1 each month so need to figure out how to create a query to count each change. See attachment displaying how the data is listed and how I invision it to work with the In/out column counts.
Specifically, at the begginig of the year (1/1/14) for case ID 1003 you can see it belongs to Mary in Team1 for January and February. Then in March the case is transferred out and went to Joe in Team 3. So for Mary a "-1" is recorded as a negative count for that Case ID. If later in the year the case is transferred back to Mary a "+1" would be recorded. Respectively evaluated for each of the 5000 records to get a total count for each of the teams by Case ID throughout the year.
I've started with DLookup, tried comparing current month to previous month using DMax. It works as long as I only select one case ID used in a separate query but if I use the whole subset (5000 records) it fails. I can't figure out how to group each set of case IDs and then apply the query.
I need to write a query which populates an empty field in the current record with information from a specific field in the next sequential record. Any ideas?:confused:
I have a query to bring in values, I need to select 2 rows of data but the criteria is as such:
x= starting value on form
now the row of data must match the following criteria previous row to current row(ref temp)<=x And Current row(ref temp)>xnext row to current row(ref temp)>=x And Current row(ref temp)<x
I have dealt with SQL before but how to do the above.The isolated 2 rows of data will then go into unbound boxes on a form from which I will do intercept and gradient calculations.
I need any code or way that whenever any field of a record according to unique ID changed the code must save the changed field name and the current date in a specific field in another table (first field store the ID and the second one detail about changes) with add record mechanism. Suppose I have a table about the information of students with the name std_info and another info_report and when any changes make to the any field of std_info the field number and the unique ID to the table info_report. I want to use this system to record which user make changes to which records.

I have a table called tblFinishedGoods. There are 3 fields in the table:Serial Number, Model Number and Location.
I would like to have a form that will take input from my barcode reader and input the data for the 3 fields, if the serial number is not already in the table.(I have this already working). But now I would like the same form to also check the table for any serial number that is scanned in...and if it is in the table already, have it bring up the model number and location for that record.
I'm thinking maybe there is something I can do with Serial Number afterupdate. Basically I'm looking for a way to not require the user to input anything via a mouse or keyboard.
If the 1 form could accept the 3 scans:Serial Number,Model Number and Location, and either 1)enter a new record if that serial number isnt in the table or 2)find that the serial number already exists and overwrite the model number and location with whatever the next 2 scans are.
I have attached a Microsoft inventory db that I have attempted to alter and apply to my needs.
I added cascading combo boxes to allow the users to make selections of products specific to categories. Once the category is selected in the CategoryID combobox the cascaded combo boxes ProductName & SerialNumber become populated with the products that belong to the category selected in CategoryID. This works as it should.
The problem comes after a record is selected and an attempt to switch categories is made. For example, say an inventory transaction for the product named "V1" which belongs to the "Special" category is entered. As soon as I switch back to the "Routine" category with the combobox, the product "V1" is now associated with the "Routine" category.
I know Access is just doing what it's supposed to but I need to find out how to prevent the category information for products from changing when a new category is selected in the first combobox. I've tried requeries, gotoRecords and various other commands without luck.
I have attached my db in hopes that a solution can be reached more efficiently.
Hi all, I am trying to have the rowsource change on a "subcategory" combo box depending on what the "category" combo box says.
I added an event procedure to the "Category" combo box which changes the Row Source in the subcategory combo box to something else. I'm not sure that I did this right as if I close the database and reopen it, what I selected in the subcategory combobox is gone and it is blank. Any ideas? Here is my simple, likely incorrect event procedure:
Private Sub Category_Change()
If Category.Text = "Rare Books" Then SubCat.RowSource = "scRareBooks"
End If
If Category.Text = "Legal Documents" Then SubCat.RowSource = "scLegalDocuments"
I am using a combo box to enter Employees names for training hours...I want to use a pivotchart but when i use the training hours table/form the pivotchart gives me the combo box numbers instead of the names. I know there is a formula or something I am suppose to use here or even a query but I don't have a clue as to how to do this....if someone would be so kind in directing me with instructions and help...thanks :confused:
My Db has 1 table with 4 columns named ID, First_name, Last_name and Photo.
ID is a counter and primary key. First+last names are text fields. Photo is an Ole object.
I display everything in a form that is controlled by a combo box. The combo box displays the first name and when I chage the first name with this box the last name changes too. I use this code together with the event "after update"
Code:Private Sub Combo_First_name_AfterUpdate()Me.txt_last_name.Value = Me.Combo_first_name.Column(2)
Everything works perfectly fine (txt_last_name changes according to the first name in the combo box), except that the photo of the person doesn't change. Nothing happens to the photo when changing value in the combo box or it just displays a message box with an error messages when I have tried to get it to work.
I want the ole object picture to change too, when changing the first name in the combo box.
