Run A Query/report Based On Selection From List
Feb 10, 2006
Dear all, is it possible to run a query (or ideally a report) based on a selection from a drop down list in a form? (in accsess 97). The reson being is i have a big list of of codes for different absence reasons & at present the user has to type in the correct code to display the data in a report based on the code they enter, however its not easy for users to remember which code to type in to run a report.
Idealy what i would like is a drop down list with the absence codes & the absence desciption next to each code, then when the user selects a code from the list it displays the corresponding data in the report?
Is this possible?, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

I have a query that allows the user to put in a date range - this works.He also wants to limit what he prints.
For example at the moment he gets
OrderA rest of line 1 for orderA
OrderA rest of line 2 for orderA
OrderA rest of line 3 for orderA
OrderB rest of line 1 for orderB
OrderC rest of line 1 for orderC
OrderC rest of line 2 for orderC
OrderD rest of line 1 for orderD
.
.
.OrderZ etc
He only wants to say print lines for OrderA and OrderD. It's he's choice and not based on anything else already in the table.
I see that in the criteria on the design for the query it allows me to bbuild an expression and I can select a list box on the form such as
[Forms]![name of form where list box is]![name of list box].[EXPRESSION VALUES]
I don't know which expression value to choose. I have tried afterupdate and beforeupdate but none of the rest look like they are the ones I should be using.

When creating a query I have set up a parameter query as instructed (in this case searching for a name) but when I run the query it returns the error 'this expression is typed incorrectly etc.'
I have worked out that this must be due to the fact that the names are not typed in by a front-end user but need to be chosen from a dropdown list (which i have stored in a separate table) - So, the query seems to fail based on that.

I'm using Access 2007.
So far I have a Multi Select enabled list on which the user selects the serial numbers they want. They then click the "Report" button which will trigger a query based on the selected serial numbers to create a report on those serial numbers.
I have the code for the multi-select list working already. It creates a string of comma separated values that are the serial numbers which are selected in the list. Somehow I need to pass this string to my query so it can use it as a filter.
Here is some of my code:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim oItem As Variant
Dim bFound As Boolean
[Code] ....
Here's my current query in SQL:
Then finally how to I get the query to execute and create a report based on all of this?

I have a form that contains a list box with 11 separate options. Within this list is the option named "None". My desire is to have a message box displayed when any option is selected other than "None". I have searched various threads, however I have been unsucessful nailing down my issue. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I'm an Access novice. I have a query based report that is based on several tables. All tables are joined by the same field "customer ID," but 1 table is not available under "Add Existing Fields." I cannot figure out why that table isn't available, but I need to add a field.

I'm building a customer form using a list box of summary customer info on the left side of the form (CustId and Names) and customer details on the right hand side. I want the details shown on the right to be those for the customer selected in the list box on the left. I'm having problems getting the details to update when a different record in the list box is selected or clicked.
I originally set the data source for the detail records to the base customer table but couldn't work out how to update them when the list box was clicked!
I then tried creating a query with the select clause conditional on the list box (CustId = Me.qryContactDetails) and set the data control source for the detail record to the query (=[qryContactDetails]![FirstName]). The query works as expected but the field in the form just shows '#Name?'.
I tried adding a field requery on the List31_Click() event using Me.[FieldName].ReQuery but that didn't seem to change anything

I have a form whereby a user for my database can be created. The fields required are listed below:
Payroll ID
Forename
Surname
Location
Manager
The last two fields are related to two other tables; tblLocation and tblManager, which are related to one another.Each location (there are three) can have more than one manager, however, a manager can be associated with only one location.I would like whomever is creating the user to only be able to select a Manager that works at a particular location, currently, I can select LocationID 1 and ManagerID 3, but ManagerID 3 works at LocationID 2.
How can I base the 'Manager' field in my form on the previous field's selection, e.g. 'Location'.Also would need to restrict the order in which the form's fields are enter, i.e., 'Location' before 'Manager'.

Upon the results which populate my list box what I am trying to do is allow the user to select various values from the list box and then hit a button which deletes the values from the table. My code is currently:
Code:
Private Sub Del_TsCorrection_tbox_Click()
Dim lngID As Long
Dim strSQL As String
[code]...
But it doesn't delete, infact it doesn't do anything. The list box values are still in the list box and if I look in the table they are still there also.

I am trying to get a report based on a selection from a combo box. The issue is many fold. Firstly I have been playing around with it so much that I have messed up the syntax and can't remember what I had. Here is what I have at the moment (this is based on a button):
DoCmd.OpenReport "RepClassrooms", acViewPreview, , " Class = '" & Me.cmboRepClass & "'"
The second issue is that it isn't filtering on the combobox - it gives all the data from the database based on all the entries in the combobox but this is probably down to the syntax again.

I have some code that was written by someone else. I am trying to duplicate this in another database but, can't seem to get it to work. I also don't understand how this code is working as as there is no reference to the combo box in the code behind the print button. But depending on what you select in the combo box the report opens and filters on that selection. The following code is behind the print button. There is a separate combo box, that does not seem to have a connection to the print button. It just has a query behind it for the items to select from.
Public Sub BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "RPTProject Number (Job) Book Year"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
Exit_BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Clic:
Exit Sub
Err_BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Clic

Hi
I need to print a specific form based on the selection made on a combo box.
I have been able to set it up to open the relevant form when the user selects an option from the combo box, but am unable to find a way to be able to print the specific report based on the selection.
I have a command button which prints a report based on the data in my current form, but would like it to also print the specific form based on the combo box selection.
Is this possible, and if so how is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
me

I am struggling to pull out a report based on the combo box selection. I have NOI database and want to pull out a report for a specific customer that how many NOIs are generated by this customer..
I have a separate table of customer and another table of NCRs and the customer information comes from customer table.
I have tried the below statement but gives me an error message:
code for Macro that pulls the report in click event:
[CustomerName]=[forms]![CustName]![combocust1]
do i need to mention the report as well in some where in report ?

I am trying to run a report based on a combobox selection. I have three different reports, each for the three different items in the combo box. I just don't know how to code it so when I run the report, it picks up the name in the combo box and opens the correct report. This is what my code looks like for the button that will run the report:
Private Sub Command7_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport ("Signers Authorized for Check Writing"), acViewPreview, , WhereCondition = [BTrans] = "Check Writing"
DoCmd.OpenReport ("Signers Authorized for Stop Payment"), acViewPreview, , WhereCondition = [BTrans] = "Stop Payments"
DoCmd.OpenReport ("Signers Authorized for Wires"), acViewPreview, , WhereCondition = [BTrans] = "Wires"
End Sub
The problem is, that as soon as I hit the Run Report button, all three reports open up, so it is not reading what is in the combo box. The quotes, "Check Writing" , "Stop Payments" and "Wires" are the actual selections in the combobox and [BTrans] is the name of the combobox.

I have a query that gives field values like name, age, department, etc for all the staff members in our company. These fields are obtained from many other tables and queries. Now I am planning to generate a report, which would display the results of this query. The catch is I am trying to do it in such a way that I want the user to have the option to select for which staff members he wants to run the report. Example: if I have 10 staff members, the user should be able to select staff3, staff6, staff7 and run the report such that it displays all the field values from the query related ONLY to these 3 staff members.
I could put up some labels and checkboxes for each staff on the form, and then select some checkboxes and get the report to read which checkbox is selected, and then display the concerned results through the report.

so i have two listboxes that have the values i want for the query parameters. I slightly modified one code i found so that i can query using one of them, however i cannot figure out how to get the second listbox to put criteria into another field. The working code i'm using is:
Private Sub Command_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command_Click
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
For Each varItem In Me.PartyBox.ItemsSelected
strCriteria = strCriteria & "counterparties.counterparty =" & Chr(34) & Me.PartyBox.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & " Or "
Next varItem
strCriteria = Left(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 4)
strSQL = "SELECT counterparties.[Counterparty Entity], Fund.[Fund Name], products.Product, combine.[Available?] " & _
"FROM products INNER JOIN (Fund INNER JOIN (counterparties INNER JOIN combine ON counterparties.[Counterparty ID] = combine.[company id]) ON Fund.[Fund ID] = combine.[fund id]) ON products.[Product ID] = combine.[product id] " & _
"WHERE " & strCriteria
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("1").SQL = strSQL
DoCmd.OpenQuery "1"
Exit_Handler:
Exit Sub
Err_Handler:
If Err.Number = 5 Then
MsgBox "Must Make A Selection First", , "Make A Selection First"
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_Handler
End If
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "combqry"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
Exit_Command_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description

I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
Sample of the database has been attached.

I am trying to setup a button that will open a report on click. The catch is that the report name is coming from a query result that is populated into a list box. The way it works the list box will never have more than one result so by default it will always house the name of the report appropriate to a chosen client. I would like to do it this way so that I don't have to clutter up the from with extra buttons all pointing to specific reports.
I found some references to this in this forum, including the example listed below, but I have been unsucessful in making work so I assume that I am entering wrong, entering it the wrong place or maybe the code is incomplete. Unfortunately I am a complete novice to Access VBA so I am still learning how it all works together.
List box name is BillingFormat
The first of 5 reports is named Standard Billing
So in the form I enter the client number and BillingFormat is auto populated with Standard Billing
I tied the button to this code: DoCmd.OpenReport Me.BillingFormat, acPreview
The results I was looking for was for the report named Standard Billing would open. The first way I set it up nothing happened not even any errors. The other way threw an error stating it did not recognize DoCmd as a valid function.
what I am doing wrong?

right, struggling here.
Basically I have continuous form listing all the standard letters sent out when I double click on a letter, I need to to run a query for me. The code I have put behind the button is:
If ([StandardLetterType] = "Homework") Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("qryHomeworkClearMailMerge")
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("MergeHomework"), , , , , acDialog, Me.[StandardLetterID]
DoCmd.OpenReport ("rptHomework"), acViewPreview
Else
'
end if
and in the query I am first clearing the mailmerge yes/no field out which works fine and then running the merge to put the yes back in the current record so the query looks like this
Its an update query with update to yes for mailmerge and under the standard letter ID i have the criteria [Me].[OpenArgs]
is this completely wrong tried the [Forms!][frmFullStudentReport].[standardletterID] but it kept popping the box up asking for the number.
On the form I have the standardletterID and its hidden but there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a form on which i make a selection. This selection then populates a query which in turn generates a report. The problem that i have is that when i go back into my form and make another selection the query, and therefore the report, holds the original data.
My question is how can i refresh the selection and therefore produce different reports based on this selection without exiting the application?
Many thanks for any help provided in advance.
