Hi All,
I have a form with a list box where you can add new names, and a bombi box that lits current names already in use. I want the form to update the combi with the name just typed in the list box. I guess I use OnExit event, but I don't know the code I should use for updating the combi list..
any pointers appreciated.

I'm trying to create a combo box that takes its values from a field in a table, the thing is that this field has duplicates because:
* The table is a qualification look up table
* It has 3 fields: QualificationID (autonumber), Qualification(e.g. Bachelor), Programme (e.g. Science)
* E.g of duplicate values (this is not a problem as it is necessary) Bachelor of Science, Diploma of Science, Certificate of Science
What I'm trying to do is create 2 single-columned combo boxes that are a parameter for a query and it's working except the combo boxes show duplicated valuesIs there a way to get the query that is the row source for the combo box to eliminate duplicates?
Just fumbling my way around Access 2007, is the only way you can create a drop down list of number by creating a table and inserting a combo box? I am trying to create a list of hours for example:
0.5
1
1.5
2
Etc...
:confused: I have a listbox which using "Table/Query" RowSourceType lists all records in table of Access 2003. The Add Record button clicked, a new record will be inserted to table, and then requery listbox.
But it's so strange, the record already existed in table, but listbox still doesn't refresh after requery, I have to presss F9 several times to refresh manually. The update record button clicked, the listbox doesn't refresh too, but when I check the value of the row, the value is new value, but ths listbox on screen shows old value. for deleting, has the same problem.
So I'm not sure, if this is a bug of Access, or I missed something have to do. I already tried many way to solve this problem (sleeping, check if updated listbox, etc), all of them aren't work well.
Please give me a help!!!

I did it, but it didn't work. Ever I looped 10 times.
you could try requerying the list box on the onclick event of the Add record Button
listboxname.Requery

Thanks for you help. My code is
With Me.lstISG
.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
.RowSource = "SELECT * FROM InternalServiceGoal WHERE Year='" & Trim(lstYear.Value) & "' ORDER BY Year, Department, Service_Category, Service_Category_Details, Objective, Measure;"
.Requery
.SetFocus
.ListIndex = -1
End With
Add button and ListBox on same Form. Add button captures text fileds and insert a record to database, ListBox just display all the records after click Add/Update/Delete button. All of three buttons clicked, the ListBox (lstISG) will be requery. but it doesn't work, I have to presss F9 several times to refresh the Form.
Currently I have a Tabular view List (of text boxes) populated from a query.
What I am looking for is a way to refresh the list. I presumed me.refresh, me.requery or me.repaint would work, but it doesn't.
If I open, then close the list it refreshes. So presumably I could close then open form for an update, but that is crude and there must be a way to do it properly?
The user navigates between two windows (client list *name and age*) and (Client info *in depth info and history*) they click on a record in the list and are taken to (client info) whereupon they can edit or add a new record. The records that are updated do so without a hitch, however the new records do not update in the list.

I found 2 examples of code to refresh my attached table link to sharepoint lists.
I have a scheduled task open my Access 2010 db and an autoexec macro runs and closes the db.
My problem is my tables disconnect from sharepoint 2010 and the update fails.
I added the code I found to a module and added a line in my macro to run the code. Now I cannot get the code to work.
Am I at least on the right track? I just want to know before I spend many hours getting this code to work.
These are the two locations of code I found.

I think part of my problem is that I have a regular table that I add a txt file to that is not linked to sharepoint so I need to exclude it from the code.
Essentially I have a form_A with several tab's and then one list control box in each of those tabs. At present if you double click on any item within the control boxes your taken to another form_B with info about that item and when you close that from down again if refreshes form_A.
Is it possible to only refresh the specific list control box that is active instead of refreshing the whole form ?
I am creating a table in Access 2003, and I need to add a drop down list to one of my columns. See the attached picture - I need to add a drop down list to the "Division" column that will allow the user to select from one of 5 choices. How do I do this?
I'm an Access beginner, BTW. :)
Hello all!
I have a drop down menu that pulls values from a table. When clicked that value pops up in a total field. Currently I only allow 1 value to be selected. When the user (me at this point) chooses another value, the value is added to the total instead of updating with the new value. So the every time it is clicked it just goes up and up. So I decided to add a loop. However it seems my look is not having an affect but obviously it is being read since the first part is being processed. I thought I would post it to gather thoughts... Thank you!
Quote: Private Sub lstbagels_Click() Dim newcharge1 As Currency Dim newcharge2 As Currency Dim oldcharge As Currency If oldcharge = 0 Then newcharge1 = Me.lstbagels.Column(2, Me.lstbagels.ListIndex) Me.txttotal.Value = Me.txttotal.Value + newcharge1 oldcharge = newcharge1 Else newcharge2 = Me.lstbagels.Column(2, Me.lstbagels.ListIndex) Me.txttotal.Value = Me.txttotal.Value - oldcharge + newcharge2 oldcharge = newcharge2 End If End Sub
I have one more question:
I have a ComboBox in a form that is looking at a field in a Table. When I select one of the items from the drop down it finds the record and shows all the fields in the form...
Everything works great, but
THere are quite a few records in the database, maybe 1000. If I use the scroll on the drop down and drag it to its bottom and let go, its not actually at the bottom. I have to do this repeatably in order to get to the full set of records.
Is there and easier way to do this?
I have run into this on other occasions with smaller number of records as well.
Would this run faster if I grabed this list from a query instead? And then set the form record to the value of the drop down (runngin the query)
Thanks in advance...
Hi,
I tried in many ways, but Coudn't refresh the combo box values.
the problem is,
I hv created combo box contains Subject "Account","Maths","English". If I select "Account" from combobox, the Teachers name should display in text box which I created in form.
One teacher can take more than one subject.
Ex. First selection is Account, teacher name may be "a","B","c" and for "Maths" teacher name as "a","D","e"
By selecting particular department, the teachers name who all involving that department should display. And also
i need to display in how many classes that teacher involved in text box next to teacher name in the Form.
selecting one option from combo box then how to refresh for another selection in combo box Is anyone there pl.
your immediate reply will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
I have a form called Add New Delegation, i have combo box of Institution names on the main form and a subform for Agreements discussed. with a combo box called agreements. I successfully cascaded the combo boxes so that the agreements discussed on the subform are filtered by their respective institutions on the main form. However i am unable to refresh the list each time a new institution is selected as the Macro will not allow me to requery a control on the mainform from the subform..

Ok, let me preface this with I'm a newbie at Access, and I'm currently using Access 2003. I'm just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Right now I have multiple tables with set data in them that doesn't change linked to another table where I have a drop down menu (combo box I think it's called in Access) to easily select the given data from. I want to have a drop down box (combo box) to have a set of given variables I have in a table to put in the search criteria. That way a user doesn't have to type the exact criteria into a query. That way I can easily put in the variables I want to search from in the query with less chance of an error. I'm hoping this is possible.
Ideally if I could get help in how to make a form that would allow me to have the set of columns from the corresponding tables with combo boxes to select from and then be able to have a "subimt" button and have it organize the selected results into that form as well.
Thank you for taking time to read this.
Hi all,
I'd like to modify a query of mine a little ...
Currenlty, when I click on my query and have it begin ... I have it set up where I then enter three seperate pieces of distinct data so that the exact information I'm in need of, which is stored in 2 seperate tables, can then be pulled together and displayed into one final combined table ...
I'd like to modify this beginning point where ... once I click on the query to begin, I can then just choose from a Drop Down list which has all the various rows of information displayed via these 3 unique indentifiers ... I then just scroll through and pick what I need and it then populates the final combined table as before ...
How do I add the drop down effect at the start of the query?
thanks,
TIM
Hi Everyone
I'm not too sure if this request is a query issue or not so please excuse if this is posted in the wrong section.
I am creating a database that picks up the start and finish time of each employee and displays the total hours worked by day and week.
I would like to be able to search by employee name from a drop down list but I am a unsure how to do this.
Can anyone assist?
Many thanks :)
Hi folks,
I want to populate a drop down combo box with a list of 10 years (current year +/- five years). I can enter them as a Value list but I don't want to have to update the list every year. Neither do I want to allocate a table to maintain a list.
Any ideas as to how I can auto populate the combo with a 10 yr span (5 previous and 5 next) and default to current year?
Thanks,
Dave
Hey guys, I have a question that I am hoping you can point me in the right direction on. Before I ask it, I am new to access. I have been looking at templates and reading and things on how to build a database. I have my tables setup, relationships I think are right and my form created. One of the things I am having trouble with is creating a drop down list to be able to pick a customer name for. I setup the combo box and have a customerID as the control source in the properties. I have the Row Source Type as table/query and the Row Source query setup so it takes the info from the customer table.
query:
field: customer.* name
table: customer customer
I think I am doing this the same way the templates have the properties but for some reason it won't allow me to pick from the list. It keeps saying "control can't be edited. It's bound to unknown field 'CustomerID'".
I attached my database. I hope it is clear enough that you might see what I have done wrong. Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty much a noob to visual basic, I've only taken C++ so I dont really know VB language. ok here is my question... I have a form and I added a drop down list through a table. What I want it to do is output into another text box within the same form when an item in the drop down list is selected. I think I have to make an event procedure for the "On Click" or "On Got Focus" selection. please help me out !!
View 5 Replies View RelatedIf i have a drop down list containing employee type names e.g. Plumber plasterer bricklayer from the employee type table. How would i select the bricklayer and bring back records associated with the selected employee type . I have done a query to go and get the records for the employee type and it works for one employee type.
But I cannot get the button to go and get the records when i select different employee types from the drop down list. I could add loads of buttons with the same query and change the employee type but looks a bit crowded and untidy. Am i missing something simple or is it just complicated.
I have a drop down list in a table with name and commission rate. When I choose the name it displays but I want both the name and the commission rate to display in my table. I want to use a data entry form to enter values in the table and I want the same in the form too (when I choose a name I want the corresponding commission rate to show up).

View 9 Replies View RelatedHello,
I've currently got a Combo Box (in the form of a drop down list) in the main part of my form for data entry. I have recently created a seperate form called 'edit' to change current values that may be incorrect. As a part of this, I would like to make changes to the values displayed in the Combo Box (let's say there is a typo). So I have copied the combo box from the viewing page into my editing section, and made the change I want to the appropriate entry. I then go back to my viewing page, and the data hasn't automatically updated. (However, If I look at the drop down list now, the new spelling of the entry is there, the old one is gone, and I can select the new one; making the change complete. Is there a way that I can get it to automatically update all the fields that currently have the old spelling to the new spelling? (all I see on after update for the combo box is a list of my macros?)

I have a combo box on a form to enable users to find records. When the form opens initially, these boxes are blank. However, after a search has been performed, the selected information in the combo box stays there, as well as the record opening up. How can I make the combo box revert to being blank after the record has opened on the form?
Thanks in advance,

I'll admit from the start that I'm a newbie at Access 2003 and I've tried looking in the help file and internet searches. But I've become stumped on how to create what I'm looking for.
I would like to create a form that performs a query that has drop down menus with info from each specific column in a table. That way I don't have to necessarily need to know off the top of my head what data is entered in that column, but can click the drop down menu and get all of the data listed in that particular column. Once have a particular set of info selected, then have a button like "submit" and then the query results appear in a form and click through each page or results.
Is this possible?
