I have a combo box that I use a barcode scanner with. I scan the barcode and it finds the product using the code below:
Private Sub cmbBarCode_Click()
' ADD A TRANSACTION AUTOMATICALLY
Dim RS As ADODB.Recordset
Set RS = New ADODB.Recordset
RS.Open "SELECT * from tblTransactions", Application.CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
RS.AddNew
RS!OrderID = ID
RS!Barcode = cmbBarcode.Column(0)
RS!Manufacturer = cmbBarcode.Column(1)
RS!ProductName = cmbBarcode.Column(2)
RS!QuantitySold = -1
RS!Cost = cmbBarcode.Column(4)
RS.Update
RS.Close
Set RS = Nothing
lstTransactions.Requery
End Sub
What I need to happen is all the above but after it has finished or before it starts it needs to clear the contents of the box. So the barcode is entered it runs the above script and then removes the barcode from the combo box, so I am ready to scan the next barcode.
I am using Access 2003 - by default there is a 'Type a question for help' drop down box on the menu bar - this is a tad annoying and looks similar to the 'New Mail' icon that displays from my mail client in approximately the same part of the screen....
Any ideas on how to remove the 'Type a question for help' drop down from the Access Tool/Menu bar?
Lets say that I have four combo Boxes on my form ’A’ I need to create another form ’B’ that will give the admin the permission to add or remove from these combo Boxes their values, do I need to create another form and simply add 4 combo Boxes and connect them to their source? What about the add and remove button is it done like VB? Can anyone help me with that?
Is it possible to remove an list item from a combo box list after it has been used.
What I am trying to do is use a combo box that has a list of questions, after the user selects a question from the combo box list and answers the question when they reselect the combo box that question will not be seen again till the form is reloaded.
I'm using a query to export a table to a text file, i.e.
SELECT * INTO [Text;HDR=No;Database=C:].[test#txt] FROM [TestTbl]
Text fields end up surrounded by double quotes as a text qualifier. Is there a property I can use to get rid of the text qualifier within the SQL (similar to how HDR=No gets rid of the headers)?
I've tried searching and guessing, but nothing has worked yet. Thanks!
I need to remove html text from a make table in access 2007. My table name is "Bad Actors Comments Column" and the column where the html text resides is "FirstOfADD_TEXT. VBA code to remove the html text?
I have a link to a "csv" file. I then run a query to exclude some rows.
Then I need to export the query result as a text file with quotes (as text qualifier) and semicolon (as delimiter). This is not a problem. The problem is, that I only need the text qualifer for the data in row 2+ and not the headings.
The data export should look like this:
ID;Contract;Date "1";"4700001360";"20150618"
How can I specify this export layout in the export wizard?
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 have been creating a form, based on only one table. Here I am displaying data as text boxes and subfrom from the same table. At the beginning, I was interested in controlling the display of the data according to the combo box (in this case is the PO number). Now, I would like to add another combox box which is the year (I have a column with the date, and also I have a column that shows only the years digits in my table) Also, I have a subform that display the data from the same table specifics records that I want. It means that I want to pick the year first, and then in the combox box of po number shows only option of that year, and hence the text boxes and subforms change accordingly to the two combox boxes.
I have a combo box on a form with three values, when I select one of the values I want a text box to show a corresponding value.
The combo box has three values for different types of memberships; under18, over60, and standard, these have different prices. So what I want is for when one of the values is selected the text box will show the price.
Any help on how to do this? The database is below.
Is there a way whereby I, or another user, can amend the ‘TOP’ value of a query via a Combo or Text box entry on a form? I have searched this Forum for a solution to this very problem but have had no success. I understand how to achieve this via the queries ‘SQL’ view but cant figure out a way to do it by the way that I have already described!!
Your advice or a ‘pointer’ in the right direction would be extremely well received.
I have a text box on a form that is bound to a field in a table that is populated by a combo box coded into the table whose data source is a select query.
Everything looks fine in the table, but when I display the data on the form it is displaying a different field of the source select query than the one displayed on the table.
I've a form with a combo box "OrderNumber" (to allow the user to select the correct order) and a text box "Date" which displays the date of the order selected. The problem is that I don't know how to synchronize the boxes. I know the procedure to do it with two combo-boxes (cmboDate=Null & cboDate.Requery in the after update property of the cbo "Order Number"), but is it possible that when I change the order selected in the combo-box, the text box shows the correct date? Thanks for your help!
Field "City" is connected to a combo box and field "country" to a textbox on the form.
I would like the user to select a city from the combo box. When this is done the textbox linked to the country field should automatically update to show the correct country. This should update without user intervention.
I would find it better to have the text box look up a value list rather than use a table for its source. the form is being used as data entry. The combobox linked to field "city" is also a value list.
Aaaargh! It's a couple of years since I got my hands dirty in Access and I seem to have forgotten more than I thought! :( I have a simple database which includes tables STOPS (stopID, stop name, routeID, Cost band), JOURNEY(CustID, routeID, stopID), and ROUTES (routeID, Route name, Bus co). I have a main form with the customer number on linking to a sub-form on which the user will select the route from a combo box and then the stop from a combo box. All works fine but I want to filter the stop combo box to show only stops on the route already chosen. I've done similar before but I have tried all sorts and failed to get anything to work. Any help appreciated.
I am trying to set the result of a query as the default value for a text or combo box. I have tried setting the query as the default value in the box's property. I have also tried doing it in VB. The code looks like this
Dim SQL AS String
SQL = "SELECT Address FROM Table1 WHERE Name = Forms!Main_frm!name_lbx.Value;"
Forms!Address_frm!address_cbx.DefaultValue = SQL
I have also tried
Dim SQL AS String
SQL = DoCmd.OpenQuery([update address_qry])
Forms!Address_frm!address_cbx.Value = SQL
Where update address_qry is the same as the above.
I keep both forms. I know how to do it by setting the queries as values in a list box, then transfering the values to the text or combo boxes. But I was hoping there was an easier way.

I would like to know how can i reference a combo box to the value of a text box on the form it is for a purchasing system.
if i select product one i only want the the order quantity for that item to show and the same with the price field as all the reorder levels and cost information is stored in a table. i have created queries only selecting the product code and reorder quantity and the product code and the cost price.
I have searched and looked for this throughout the forum but can't find it. I have a simple text box which I want to populate based on a combo box. The combo needs to display the table's field name and the text box needs to display the record. Is this possible? Cheers, Rene
Thanks so much for your help in advance. I’m working on a Form1 that has a combo box with Row Source coming from a query Just like:
NAME ITEM_ID
Smith 10011
Smith 10012
Scott 10022
Clark 10015
Clark 10016
Now, I want to be able to update the Item_ID value to text boxes txt_SN1 and txt_SN2 once I click on the combo box and select the name “Smith” then show 10011 in txt_SN1 and 10012 in txt_SN2. I’m not sure if this can be done with record set or just with column values from the query.
Can someone help me with this problem? Your help will be highly appreciated.
I have one combo box and a text field. When I select the Analyst name from the combo box I want to display its corresponding Badge Id in the text field. Both the Analyst name and the Badge Id are in the same table.
Hi there, I hope someone will take pity on me and help me as I am new to databases so here goes. I have combo boxes in a form that the user would like to be able to press the Enter key and just go to a new line, not go to the next field. This is so they can have say 4 sentences but have each one on a new line in the combo box. Hope this makes sense. Thanks
