I have a form with a combo box that contains a list of Employee Names which are contained in an Employee table (column 1).Just below it I have a textbox titled Employee Number. This field should remain blank until an Employee name is chosen from the combo box at which time it should populate with the corresponding Employee number which is column 2 of the Employee table.
View RepliesI have a form that looks up office names and will automatically populate a field called office number based upon their selection in the combo box. I have a submit button on click event set up to run a query.
Now, here's where I am running into issues: In this query, I need to pull selected columns of information based upon a multivalue lookup field. This multivalue lookup field is joined with the table that the values populate from.
The form will only have one value stored in the txt box field, and I need to be able to search for all records containing that one value.
This is what I have for code:
SELECT FilePlan.FPName, FilePlan.Description, FilePlan.[File Code], FilePlan.GRS, FilePlan.Schedule
FROM Offices INNER JOIN FilePlan ON Offices.[Office Number] = FilePlan.OfficeNumb.Value
WHERE (((FilePlan.OfficeNumb.Value) Like "*" & [Forms]![RetCutOff]![txtOffNumb] & "*"));
Do I need to string multiple queries together to make this work, or is it just not possible?
I have a table - RDC/NDC - that holds details about various warehouses, including a field - [Short_Code] (TEXT) - to hold the warehouse short code or ID.
I have an import table - PickDataImport - that contains details of goods picked, including a field - ToAssignRef (TEXT) - that is made up of 3 elements; Type-Short_Code-Date (EG GREEN-MAN-210215).
I am trying to create a query that will return the warehouse name from RDC/NDC by looking up the depot short code in the ToAssignRef.
The Type element of ToAssignRef can be any length of text.
I am thinking i need to use HAVING or IN (or a combination) but everything i try fails - either blank or errors.
how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS:
ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer)
ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS:
ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer)
FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.)
FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen)
CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS]
from PRODUCTS
where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?
I am currently working on an instrument datebase, I have a mainquery that takes care of user inputs from a form. The main fields that have been queried on are Type, System, and Manufacturer and they are all look-up fields that contain some null values.
On the same criteria row for these fields, I have
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qtype2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qtype2])
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qsys2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qsys2])
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qman1]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qman1])
qtype, qsys and qman are the user inputs from the user interface that returns look-up table values.
This works fine when all 3 of these fields are all filled out for a certain instrument. The problem arise when some fields of the instrument are left blank or is null. The instrument won't show up in a query at all. What I wanted it to do is to show everything including the ones with null fields when the user input are null or "". When the user specifies certain requirement I only want to show the ones that are not null. I understand that putting them on the same row means AND, I have tried to OR them and did not have the result i wanted.
I wanted to create a field lookup with values that I specify, not on the table sheet, but on the form. User can click on a text box or combo box and can select a list of value that I specify, not values that are listed on a table but ones that I type in, in the form.

I want to create a different rowsource-query for a lookup field (field1) in each record in a subform. The rowsource changes dependent on the value in another field (field2) in the same record. How can this be done?
- I tried to change the rowsource-query in an eventmacro when the focus is set to field1, but this ofcourse changes the rowsource for all field1's and makes the allready selected values unvisible.
- I think I have to include the value of record 'field2' in the rowsource query, but i cannot find a way to include that value in the query.
Something like:
Lookup field1 in the subform contains this rowsource
- SELECT CUSTOMER.Id, CUSTOMER.AGE, CUSTOMER.NAME
FROM CUSTOMERS
WHERE (CUSTOMER.AGE= me![field2]);
me![field2] however does not function
Is it possible to look up 2 field to auto fill another field?
Field 1 is "Exposure" this autofill with "Probability" is user input.
I need to lookup Exposure and Probability and autofill a score in to "Risk Rating". This to stop incorrect data being inputted.
I have a table with all the results combination in it.
Would it be possible to use a Dlookup to look at Exposure and Probability to give me the score
I tried a Combox with autofill. But the power to be would like it done without user input.

I have a database that has been developed by a consultant. Unfortunately the database contains look-up tables. Obviously when I query it returns and references the codes for the lookup field rather than the lookup field value. Unfortunately I am unable to change the database to remove lookup fields/tables. How can I get around this to produce tables with the lookup field value or perhaps reproduce the old tables (without just cut and paste) to then conduct my queries. Am I missing something simple as I am fairly new to Access development.

Hi,
my only other issue!!! i have a lookup field on a table and when i view it in datasheet, i can see the actual lookup value i need however i have tried the following options:
create a form from the table
added a combo box to an existing form and gone through the wizard
both options show the id number and NOT the value i need to show. what can i do to show my actual information?
many thanks,
NS
Let's say that I have two tables:
Table Numbers:
ID VALUE
-- ------
1 123
2 456
3 789
Table Letters
ID VALUE NUM_LOOKUP
-- ------ -------------
1 ABC 1
2 DEF 3
Now, I'd like to use the lookup feature so that NUM_LOOKUP is a combo that displays the data in VALUE based on the relationship between ID in the two tables.
So, when you open the Letters table, you see the above. If you click in the NUM_LOOKUP field, you get a box that displays "123" for the first record and "789" for the second record.
I'm very close -- Here's what I have:
I tried the following:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT [ID],[VALUE] FROM [Numbers] AS [NUM_LOOKUP];
Bound Column: 1
Column Count: 2
Problem: This selects ALL values of ID from [Numbers].
I tried adding the following to my row source:
WHERE [Letters].[NUM_LOOKUP]=[Numbers].[ID]
This just gives me the "enter parameter" dialog box for [NUM_LOOKUP] and [ID].
Any help?
Thanks!

I would like to create a lookup for a field - I want to display 2 columns, but store only one in the table.
Id City

Show both fields in the lookup, but only store the Id in the table.
I can't seem to get the second column to display.
I have two columns in the look up field. When I select the lookup value in the form I need value from one column to be displayed in one box and the value from the second column displayed in another box. Is there a simple way to do it?

I am working on a database where i have to show the user last modification date of the files they are getting the data from. I have already completed that process. Used GetDatetime to find the files last modification date and time. And now i am moving on to the next step and Here is the scenario.
User will click the IMPORT button and first, it will check the last modified date in the form of those files(which is an unbound textbox) and compare that date with the Date Column that exist in the tbl_Import. If the Date matches it will show them a message Saying "Data cannot be imported since it already exist. If it doesnt match it will run the macro i have created to run the data import process
Where MS Excel is concerned there is very little I can't do and I am now transferring that skill to MS Access and I'm stumbling on this one.

I have in table TBL_NL_Structure a list of CLIENT_ID with NL_ACCOUNTS against them i.e.
CLIENT_ID....ACCOUNTS
900001.........4000
900001.........4001
900002.........4003
What I want to be able to do is in a sub form and a combo box named ACCOUNT that looks at the active CLIENT_ID and pulls into to combo box JUST the ACCOUNTS set to that CLIENT_ID example if the CLIENT_ID is 900001 is just brings in ACCOUNTS 4000 & 4001.
I can get the whole list to come in to the combo box but not a filtered list.

Hi gurus,
I have two fields in the main record table with values lookup from two other tables. These two table has 1-many mapping (like country - States). Can I make change within the record table. When I change the value in country field for a record, the States field will only show the states of that country?
Now I have lookup query for these fields from country and states seperately, so no matter what I change in the country field, the states field show all states for all countries.
Thanks for your advice!
Hi, I'm pretty new to access but almost have a database working the way I want it to. I just need help with one thing. I am using PPC Creations on a PDA to fill out a service docket. All the fields export to the DB ok, the problem I have is displaying the info on a report. I have one field to display one of 8 manufacturers and then 8 fields (one for each manufacturer) that display the model. A bit like this...
IntruderPanelType (results are code eg. 1=ADE 2=ADEMCO)
ADE (results are text eg. Optima)
ADMECO
DABOSCH
GARDTEC
MENVIER
SCANTRONIC
TEXECOM
OTHER
OtherIntruderPanelType
So, on my report I want a field (maybe needs to be new) that will display the contents of the relevant manufacturer field, depening on what is in the "IntruderPanelType" field. On the report if "IntruderPanelType" is "1" and "ADE" is "Optima", I want it to display.......
Control Panel Type: ADE Optima
I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear but if you can understand my ramblings I'd really appreciate a simple solution to this. I've attached a copy of my database so far, in case it helps any! TIA for any help you can give.

Hi Everyone,
I have a question about lookup fields. I have the tables below. The main table is [vid] and i reference other tables like [manufacturer], [model].. etc. to fill in [vid]. I have pull down lookups for all of [vid] but it is showing all models, makes, etc. I need helping making the lookup row dependant. For example when I am in [vid] and click on the [model] combo box for vid=1, I only want to see the models for that manufacturer(Ford), so it will only show mustang, escape, and navigator; not all of the models. For vid=2, when I click the pull down for model I only want to see Gm Models, corvette and cavalier. So this is what i mean be row dependant. Is this possible?
Thanks so much in advanced,
Michael
