Queries :: Linking Option Buttons To Query Criteria?
Apr 15, 2014
I have a query that has 2 fields of currency labour rates (current rate and baseline rate), but sometimes there are some blanks in either of the fields and is causing my text field which has a Sum formula (Rates x Hours) to #ERROR and throws out my other calcs. The only way to find out which blank line items are throwing my query numbers out is to manually type in "Is Null" in the criteria.
However, I would like to keep this process fully automated so I tried to create 2 lots of option buttons for my form, one for each of the 2 fields of currency labour rates and after I click on either option button and then run my query it will show all the lines that have blanks. I was able to link 2 text boxes to the option buttons (Select Case - Case 1 - Me.txtBox1.Value = "Is Null") and then link the text boxes to the criteria field using [Forms]![frm_labour]![txtBox1]. However, none of this seems to be driving my criteria in my query.

I'm working with a form in Access 2013 that uses the navigation buttons. I'm trying to have my criteria for a query link to a dropdown box on the form. I had no problems doing this in Access 2010 with normal forms, but I can't link the criteria, in the query to the Navigation buttons form box. I'm tried using
[Forms]![TheNavigationTab]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![Field]
And various forms of the above... but i still can't see to tell the query to find the critiera at this location...

I am using an Access database for a foreign language dictionary project.
One of the forms I use is populated by a query (qryLemmaTable) to retrieve information from tblLEMMA.
This form works precisely as I intend it to work, but there is a glitch on it that is driving me mad.
The form in question has an option group with 11 radio buttons that correspond to the parts of speech associated with each word in tblLEMMA.
When I click on the button optAdjective I apply a filter and the only records that are displayed are adjectives. (The same applies for Nouns, Verbs, Prepositions etc.)
Here is the glitch: even though the radio buttons apply the filter correctly, no “black spot” appears in the button. Other signals on the screen let me know what word type is selected, so I can accomplish what I want, but I want the “black spots” too!
Perhaps this will be a clue: For each radio button I use the following code in the GotFocus event.
Me.FilterOn = False
Me.Filter = "wordtype = 'A'" ‘(or N, etc)
Me.FilterOn = True
And this for the Lost Focus event
Me.FilterOn = False
Thanks for the help.

I am developing a Task database.
Table: TaskT
Fields include; Description, Action, DueDate, Priority, Precinct, Recurring and Employee.
Query: TaskQ
Form: TaskF and TasklistF
The forms are fed by the TaskQ query.I have sort and filter on all fields except date field which i would like to have 3 buttons which will dynamically update the criteria in the TaskQ DueDate field. Is that possible or the way to do it??
The buttons would include 'Due today' 'Overdue' 'Next 7 days' and they update the criteria in the TaskQ query and hence filter with the following;
Date()
<Date()
Between Date () And Date()+6

I am developing an Event Management DB for business training courses. I have an attendees table with a link to CompanyNames. I wish to be able to produce an attendees report based on the CompanyName ie all attendees from the selected company. I have done this by using a dropdown of companynames on a Criteria selection form. This works well.
What I would also like to do is print the same list without the companyName criteria. I am aware I could make another query but was hoping that maybe there is a way of setting up the criteria in the companyName field so that it could accept either a company name or ALL company names.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Peter

I have been tryign to work with Option Buttons and am not having much success. I have been looking on line for examples and I get close.
The example tells me to Set the GroupName Property although I can not seem to find it.
Basically what I do is use the wizard and select the Option Group and add that to the form. With the wizard I enter three Label Names and take the default Values.
I then add a Control Button and use the code below.
Result:
Everytime I click the Control Button it gives me all three MsgBox's. Its reading all the values in the Option Group NOT the one that is selected??????
CODE:
Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim x As Control
For Each x In Me.Controls
If InStr(x.Name, "Value1") Then
MsgBox "You Selected Value1"
ElseIf InStr(x.Name, "Value2") Then
MsgBox "You Selected Value2"
ElseIf InStr(x.Name, "Value3") Then
MsgBox "You Selected Value3"
End If
Next
End Sub
I HAVE BEEN TRYING A FEW VARIATIONS AND I GET ERRORS WHEN USING THEM:
1. I changed the .Caption to .Name...IF I USE CAPTION it tells me that this "Object does not support this property or method"
'Check for the string "Option" within the caption of each control.
If InStr(x.Caption, "Option") Then
2. Dont knwo where GroupName is
'Check the group name.
If x.GroupName = "mygroup1" Then
MsgBox x.Caption
3. Value gets an error
'Check the status of the option button.
If x.Value = True Then

Below is the code that I used to make a Menu. The only problem is that when a report is opened, it is placed under the Menu form instead of on top of it.
How can I get it to stay on top?
Private Sub Frame2_Click()
DoCmd.Restore
On Error GoTo MyTrap
Select Case Me.Frame2
Case Is = 1
DoCmd.OpenForm "Resident from Last Name", acNormal
Case Is = 2
DoCmd.OpenForm "Resident from Phone No", acNormal
Case Is = 3
DoCmd.OpenForm "Resident from Address", acNormal
Case Is = 4
DoCmd.OpenReport "Multiple Addresses", acViewPreview
Case Is = 5
DoCmd.OpenReport "Missing Phone Numbers", acViewPreview
Case Is = 6
DoCmd.OpenForm "Update/Add/Modify PGIDdb"
Case Is = 7
DoCmd.OpenForm "Delete Records", acNormal
Case Is = 8
DoCmd.OpenReport "PrintAll", acViewPreview
End Select
MyTrap:
If Err.Number = 2501 Then
MsgBox "Action Canceled"
Else
End If
DoCmd.Close acForm, "PGMenu"
DoCmd.OpenForm "PGMenu", acNormal 'This places Menu on top of opened report etc.

I need 2 option buttons created individually, as an option group has proven utterly worthless to me for what I need.
A simple Yes / No pair that toggle back and forth when clicked.
I would use an option group, but you cannot define an On Click Event Procedure on an Option group button, and I cannot set the value of an option to 1.06 or anything other than whole numbers.
I just want to set a simple On Click event for each to set a variable to one of 2 possible values.
Thanks

Hi All,
Just wondered if anyone can help me with this.
I have a form based on a query that has 16 options for values in one of the fields. I wanted to put an option button for each value on a form that would allow the user to view the records based on which option buttons were selected and have the form update accordingly.
The way I've gone about it is to have some code in the after_update event thingimy of each option button that updates a boolean value in a table that's linked to the underlying query the form is based on - but this just seems a long way to go about this... plus it's not working...
I've searched the archives for clues on this but haven't come up with anything. So I just wondered, is there a better way than what I'm doing. I'm not after somebody to do this for me, just point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Peter

Hello, I wonder could anyone help, rescue and succour me.
As a former VB6 developer, I'm now working with wonderful Access VBA 2000 which makes the simplest operation such as creating a listbox or adding a control array into a living, breathing nightmare.
Today's incubus is option buttons.
Dear people, please tell me how it can be so hard to create a group of option buttons which are mutually exclusive and by whose value I can set another variable? I tried just sticking them on the screen, but then soon sobered up when I realised that Access would merrily allow me to select all of them if I so wished in joyous defiance of what an option button is actually FOR.
So I consulted the oxymoronic Help (even though it's impossible to construct an oxymoron with one word, this particular piece of functionality has somehow managed it) and was advised by same to create an option group. This I duly did - then realising that I had to set this property called Option Value 1,2, 3 etc. No sooner said than done. Anything to get it over with.
Now having different values, one would imagine that all I do is give each option button the same name. But no - control arrays in this environment would be like the discovery of the wheel in Caveman Land. So I google it and am told that I have to select the name of the option group.
Now where in all Christendom or Islamdom or NoGodsAtAllDom (in case Richard Dawkins is logged on and wants to help) can I find the name of this option group? Nowhere was I asked to assign an option group name, nowhere can I see a control that resembles an "option group", whatever that may be.
If someone could enlighten me I would be very grateful as a simple problem has once again taken hours thanks to the Access VBA environment. Grrrrrr
And thank you.

I have a form with a number of fields for users to enter data into, with a "Total" being calculated. The users also have the option to ignore these fields and just enter a total manually into a seperate "Totals" field.
I want to set the form up so that when the form is opened the manually entered "Totals" field is hidden, leaving users to enter the component values, with the total being calculated automatically.
However, I want to add an option button so that if users just want to type in a total manually rather than enter the component values, they click the option button and the manually entered "Totals" field appears and the other component fields become disabled. This would prevent both a calulated total and a manually entered total being entered into the form.
Any help on the code that I need to use when the option button is clicked would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have a form named Welcome which I want to use as search menu for my database.
I have added 4 option buttons and a unique textbox into which users will write their query criteria.
My database has 4 queries and each option button should refer to one of them once selected
Obviously I will need a command button that will run the query.
Any help or code to do this? Thanks.

I have a switchboard which gives two selections. Upon selecting a menu item, the new menu appears. If I select from this new menu, it runs as it should do. However, upon returning to this second menu, the button remembers where it was instead of being cleared to select the same item, if desired, again. How can the option box button be cleared as do the switchboard buttons?

Good afternoon
I have been helped out so many times in the past here I thought I would try my luck again.
Is it possible with the use of option buttons to change the row source of a listbox?
I want to use the listbox for a search criteria and thought it might be easier to have 1 listbox been updated from the choices made using a group of buttons.
I would like like the row source to be based on different tables maybe I might need to use queries.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

dear experts,
i am a student and i have a project to complete in 2days. i have managed to crawl through access and come up with forms and a functional query set. i need to create a search function for names and addresses. i manged to do a fisrt name search. i need to make an option for users to choose either first or last name and then search for the other details.
here is my situation, i need help connecting a radio button to a search form. allow me to illustrate my form.
************************************************** *******
first name : _________ (combo box) last name : _________ (combo box)
[0] (option button) [0] (option button)
SEARCH ( command button)
************************************************** ********
as of now, the first name combo is connected to the search button via a macro which launches the query with a value from the combo box. how do i make the user choose either option "first/last" and then make the search button search appropriately. please help me. i know this is elementary. i've spent too much time looking for a solution on my own. my time is running out to complete the project. and i've yet to create switch boards and all those other things. please! thanx all.

When I create an option group, the buttons or checkboxes appear to the left of the labels. Is there an easy way to make them come out on the right side of the labels? When I move them around manually it is hard to make the buttons align properly with the labels.

I am doing a worksheet for college and have been asked to create option groups on a form, but I cannot work out how to do this.
The screenshot shows what I have to do but I cannot get the option group wizard to open.
When creating my form based on the design in the screenshot I dragged the Rate field onto the design view sheet but it has only one option button connected to it, I need to add another one that will be connected to the same field and am not sure how to do it. I did try adding another option button from the control bar but I am not sure if is connected to the same field with the correct yes/no properties.

I have 2 Option buttons that I want to use to control a combo box. If I select Option1 then I want it to pull from one table for the drop-down choices. If I select Option2 I want it to pull from a different table. The Option buttons and combo box are all on the same form.

I am designing a database for our audit teams to carry out reviews of our claims handlers and have put next to each of the questions on a form an option group of three option buttons, "Yes", "No", "Not Applicable" with the values "1", "-1" and "0" respectively. This value is then stored in a table under the relevant field, intQuestionValue, for Q1, Q2, Q3 etc.
This works well for calculating scores, percentages etc. for all the questions. However the manager of the team has said that there will be times when he wants to report by the number of "No" answers for example, so that he look at trends and build these into training plans etc.
I do have a table, tblScores, which has two columns in it. One for the text element, "Yes", "No", "N/A" and the other has the corresponding numeric value in it.
Because there are numerous questions i cannot seem to create a join in a query for the numeric value to bring back the text value. The only other method that came to mind was to write the text outcome to a table as well at the same time, but I'm not sure how I would do this at the same time as clicking the option button, or would it all save when i (the user) closes the form?

Hi all, a newbie with novice access skills.
I'm very good with utilizing the access tools however I can only code in vb editor minimally. What I'm looking to do is have the option buttons control two combo boxes. One to search by user name and the other to search by serial #. I've created an option group with two buttons I set the default values in the combo boxes in accordance with the option buttons However, the option buttons aren't doing what they are supposed to do. I've been told I need to tweak the code for the buttons in order to make them control the combo boxes. Does anybody know what I need to do to make this happen? Ultimately the user will be able to click either of the buttons to perform a search through a single combo box.
Thanks to everyone out there for making this possible. Your expert knowledge will help me grow into an expert myself.
Thanks to all in advance! :confused:

I've tried the basics, like changing the coding to 'OpenTable' and using the wizard, but I can't seem to get my form to open a table. So my 'dumb' question is- 'is it possible to open either an access table, or an excel spreadsheet with a command button on a form?' I've tried linking an excel spreadsheet to my database, I've tried importing it, but when you go to put the info in a form, its all in 1 field, so doesn't show all the information i need it to. :confused:
