Hello, I am using an IIF statement in my SQL criteria, and was wondering "if" it was still possible to reference a column within a combo box... here is one iif statement
Like IIf(IsNull([Forms]![fSampleSearch]![cboCustomerName]),"*",[Forms]![fSampleSearch]![cboCustomerName])
I want to refer to the third column of cboCustomerName... How would I do this ?
I want my subform to allow additions. I would like the default value for one of the fields in the subform to be the value chosen in the combo box that is used to select which records are shown in the subform. The row source for the combo box is
SELECT tblLicensee.LicenseeID, tblLicensee.[Licens#] FROM tblLicensee;
where LicenseeID is the key field and Licens# is what is displayed.
If I refer to the combo box for the default value for that control on the form…
=[Forms]![frmFindRecord]![Combo37]
the key value (LicenseeID) is entered as the default instead of the value displayed in the combo box (Licens#). How can I set the default value to record the Licens# instead?
I have a form named frmMain that contains five buttons that lead to subforms, one of which is named frmDeceased.
In frmDeceased, I needed to create a combo box that relied on selections from the combo box before it. I was able to do this successfully in frmDeceased, but then today when I opened the database and opened frmMain, I realized that the query fails when frmDeceased is opened via frmMain. It works perfectly if I just open frmDeceased directly.
The first combo box is ROHE and the second is Iwi (which is dependent on the Rohe selected).
The query for Iwi has this criteria: Forms!frmDeceased!cbo_ROHE
When I open frmDeceased through frmMain, I get the 'enter parameter value' message showing "Forms!frmDeceased!cbo_ROHE".
I tried changing this query to: Forms!frmMain!frmDeceased!cbo_ROHE, but it didn't work.
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237"
If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
I hav a combo box that has three columns in it. I want the user to select an item and I want all three columns to show up in the combo box instead of just the one I am capturing. How can i do this? I tried to put the Bound Columns requirement in the the combo box's properties to 3 but it didn't do anything. Please Help.
thanks

If is there somebody?......

i have a combo box reading in two fields from a table - id and name. Is it possible to have "autofill" pick up the name but when i make my selection, the id becomes selected.
i.e. if i have these:
ID NAME
1 Pete
2 Dave
3 Alan
and i type in "Dav" and press enter, the value in the combo box will be the id "2".
thanks
hi all
i have a drop down combo with 2 columns. the left column stores the value and the right column places a value in a text box uisng =[txtbox].column(1)
it works fine until i have a duplicate value in the left column. the right column makes the value unique. eg.
column0 column1
s1..............02
s1..............03
the problem ocurrs when choosing from the cbo with the same value. it always seems to slip back and choose the value with the lowest .column(1) value. in the above example, if I select s1 03, for some reason after the cbo drops back up, s1 02 is selected.... even though i didn't select it. weird!
Clearly i'm doing something access doesn't like.
Any ideas are much appreciated.

Hello everyone,
I have a combo box on a form tha displays information based on 2 columns from a table.What I want the combo to do is to allow the user to select the row he wants and for the field that is bound to the combo box to store the outcome of collumn1 + collumn2 (string values).
Is this at all possible and if so how can I do it cause I can't find a way.
Thanks for all your time and effort :)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box with two columns. The first column has a drop down list of radiology studies (2view Cervical spine, 2view Lumbar spine etc.) the second column has the associated CPT code specific to that study. When I click on the drop down box on my form, the first column I can see both columns but when I pick one only one of them shows. Is there a way to see both columns or should I just add the CPT code to the first column?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi, I have a combo with the following columns listed:
ProjectID
Project Number
Project Name
The width of the bound column (column 1) is 0, and Project Number and Project Name list properly in the combo box. However, on selection, only Project Number (Column 2) jumps into the box. Is there any way of getting the third column (Project Name) to also display after the selection has been made?
Many thanks
I have a combo box with 2 columns, Item # and the Item Description. As of right now I have to type the Item # and it will autofill the text. I was wondering if there is a way if I don't have the Item # that I can search/type the description in the combo box field and it will autofill?

NOTE in the actual data won't be there it is just to show you what I am referring to.
Is there any way in another column in a query to say if Column A repeats itself somewhere else in Column A AND if those two that are repeated both have a "CF" code add column C (which is just an amount for each number)
So for example in this data there are 2 numbers that repeat themself that have CF codes. For these I would need to total them in column D for the first number resulting in:
Column A Column B Column C Column D

Just a quick question, I can't seem to get this right (as usual :confused: )
I have a form and I want the label in the header to display the text from a field in a related subform. I have tried the following syntax to no avail:
=[Forms]![sfrmCompanyName]![LastName]
Any suggestions
Thanks in advance

I know how to refer to a control on a form by using [forms]![formname]![controlname], but can anyone help with referring to a subform.
I have a subform called subPrograms, on which is a combo box whose contents need to be filtered depending on the selection from another combo box on the main form.
The combo box on the main form is cboDivisions.
The combo box on the subform is cboPurchasers
Main form is called frmMain
Subform is called subPrograms
The user is supposed to select a Division, and then depending on that selection the contents of cboPurchasers will change to only show those that are within that same division.
I would also like to know how to update the cboPurchasers when the cboDivision has been selected? Can someon help?
I hope that this is enough info.
Hello,
I'm trying to write a formula/program that will look at a table, look at the date of each record, and sort out and group the records by week (in this case, Sat.-Friday). However, in order to do this, I'm assuming that I must be able to have the program look at, not only the date of the current record, but also the date of the records before and after the current one. What would be the easiest and most efficient way of writing the references? Thanks!

Hello all...Happy New Year!!
I have obtained some VB code shown below which adds an icon to the windows task bar as I intend to put some additional code behind this that displays messages near the clock when something happens in the database.
The problem I have is that the code does add an icon but the icon is literally blank. i.e. it makes an additional icon space but does not display any picture.
The code is not actually for VBA so I need to tweak it. I am struggling with telling it which icon to display. Does anyone know how to refer to the application icon using code??
The code I am working on is: (there is also a module but I will post this if you need it.)
-------------------------------
Private Sub AddTrayIcon()
Dim nid As NOTIFYICONDATA
' nid.cdSize is always Len(nid)
nid.cbSize = Len(nid)
' Parent window - this is the window that will process the icon events
nid.hWnd = frmSystray.hWnd
' Icon identifier
nid.uID = 0
' We want to receive messages, show the icon and have a tooltip
nid.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE Or NIF_ICON Or NIF_TIP
' The message we will receive on an icon event
nid.uCallbackMessage = 1024
' The icon to display
nid.hIcon = frmSystray.Icon
' Our tooltip
nid.szTip = "Always terminate the tooltip with vbNullChar" & vbNullChar
' Add the icon to the System Tray
Shell_NotifyIconA NIM_ADD, nid
' Prevent further adding
cmdAddIcon.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub cmdAddIcon_Click()
AddTrayIcon
End Sub
-------------------------
This is the code that is the problem. I dont think VBA has this function so I need to tell it where to find the .ico file I use for my database.
Thanks folks.
