Searching Combo Box For Text Field
May 25, 2005
:mad: I have a combo box which is being used for surname searching. It displays surnames in the first column and first names in the second column. I would like the user to be able to type or select a surname from the dropdown list and where there are multiple entries of that surname select the correct record. At present the first matching surname is the one that keeps being selected.
I am displaying the complete record in fields lower down in the same form.
I also have a firstname search combobox but the code will be almost identical.
Can someone help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

In my Access DB, I have a field named ‘REFNO’. This contains reference numbers of some communications. I have a Combo Box to search records with this ‘REFNO.’ It so happened that there were two communications with the same REFNO. When I typed the wanted number in the Combo Box, only one record was displayed in the form which was not the one I wanted. I was able to see the other record by opening the table. Is there a way to display the next record with the same number in the form with the Combo Box? Grateful for help.

Hi All,
I have a small yet important question to ask. I have a text box on a form, that text box accepts a product number that the user wants to modify. I want to be able to do the following:
- If the product number does not exist, prompt with an error message (this part is not a problem).
- If the product number does exist, populate the text boxes on the form with the respective data. ex: Product number 512547. Does exist, hence: (TB = textbox)
Prd. No.TB = 512547
Rec'd Date.TB = 10/10/2006
Comments.TB= blah blah blah, etc.
I am simply trying to pull information from a table into text boxes on a form using a text box.
THANKS A MILLION!

Hi! I'm certin this is something really simple, but I just can't remember how I've done it before.
I have a combo box called "ReferralReason" and when a particular option ("Other") is chosen from the list in there, I want the text field "ReferralReasonOther" to become unlocked.
Could someone please tell me:
a) do I type the VBA code for this in the properties of the combo, or, the text field? (Does it even make a difference)
b) what do I actually type?? :confused:
Thanks in advance for your help!

I understand the problems that can be brought upon ones self by creating the table with lookup fields, But if the table was orginally designed with them and then the Field is then changed to a Text box instead of a Combo box will the inherent problems associated with the lookup within a table disappear?

I have a form which shows contact information. I have added a combo box which automatically shows the information of the selection in the combo box. So, far no problem.
However, what I would like is that (since there will be a lot of contact in it) you can search inside the combobox. Say, for instance, you have the following info:
1. Albert Einstein
2. Ally McBeal
3. Anastacia
4. Bob Dole
When you enter the 'A', only the first three items stay in the combo box. After entering 'AL', only the first two items stay in the combo box.
How should I go about creating such a combo box? I already saw that when entering characters, it selects the first item that corresponds with the characters entered.
Also, when placing a combo box on the form, linked to the form (a standard function in Access) ... how do I select the first record of the form in the combo box?. Say that Albert Einstein is the first item which is shown in the form, it should also be selected in the combo box. Now, the combo box stays empty.
Any help is appreciated!

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?

I have requested this before but the example given did not fit my situation and I had a heck of a time trying to adapt the example given to me so I will step by step describe what I need. thanks...
Can someone show me how to do the following:
1) Take a combo box that looks up a table that has 2 variables (Var1 and Var2).
2) Depending on the value chosen in the combobox (Var1) then a text field will automatically have the value (Var2) appear.
3) This information from combo box and text field will then be stored in a separate table that is linked to the form.
__________________________________________________ _____________
Also:
Is there a way to extend this example further by adding another combo box that takes the result from the first combo box to filter in values for the second combo box which will then automatically populate a text box which would then be stored in a separate table.
__________________________________________________ _____________
Someone kind of showed me before but they used unbound variables and this confused me as the combobox was unbound but how is that information stored into my table?
Pardon me for my redundancy but this is frustrating me to no end and I unfortunately have a deadline of today!!!! :(
I think it is the row source thing that confuses me. I take row source to mean where the data is stored. But where do you identify where to obtain the data to then store in your "inputed" table?

I have a combo where the list is populated with a bit of VB code to create a two field list. When the user selects the item they want from the list it displays the item in the combo box and should populate a text box in the same row with the value from the second column.
This combo is part of an orders subform and the user is selecting a product from the list which displays the product_name and the product_id.
The problem is that the product_id is not filled in and access returns the following error:
Run-time error ‘3101’:
The Microsoft Jet database cannot find a record in the table ‘product_table’ with key matching field(s) product_id.
This is the VB code that populates the list :
[code]
Private Sub comboCatagory_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim sProd_description As String
sProd_description = "SELECT products_table.product_id, products_table.prod_description " & _
"FROM products_table " & _
"WHERE products_table.prod_catagoryID = " & "'" & Me.comboCatagory_ID.Column(0)
Me.comboProd_description.RowSource = sProd_description
Me.comboProd_description.Requery
End Sub
[end code]
What am I doing wrong?
Thx
Kev.

This is really hard to explain, but basically I'm trying to use a combo box that has a control source different than it's record source to update another field on the record source. For example, the combo box pulls it's options from a table called "NameList" and when you select an option from the combo box it updates a table called "Results". On this form there are form fields that are bound to the "Results" table. What I want to happen is, when I make a certain selection from the combo box, I want one of the fields bound to "Results" to automatically display text from a different table. Is this even possible? If this is a horrible explanation, please let me know. I need serious help on this one, I've been working on this for a day and a half now. If anyone has any ideas on how to do it a different way, please make suggestions. Thanks in advance!
- Josh :confused:
Also, another thing I forgot to mention, this may help anyone who tries to help me. This "Results" form is basically used as a log utilizing a report to display a sequence of events. I've included a screenshot for visual affect. I have censored a few things for privacy reasons.

I have a text file that cannot be imported and turned into a table because it has no line feed characters and is therefore well over 255 columns. The fields are delimited by commas, however.
How can I search this file for all instances of "{id" and then grab the next 10 characters to the right and store them somewhere?

I want people to be able to search, or jump to a record by the PO #
I am hoping to just do it in the form, and by that I mean, the user is on the Purchase Order form and needs to look at a previous Purchase Order for editing, deleting, etc. and to just type it in the text box, hit the search button, and there it is.

I've searched for this everywhere but I haven't yet found a solution, even though I'm sure it should be pretty simple.
I have 2 combo boxes: cboMonth, cboDay
and a text field: txtYear
cboMonth has values: Jan-Dec
cboDay has values: 1-31
After selecting the combo boxes and entering the year, I want the result to be displayed in a text box, with the format of Long Date.
How is this accomplished?
Thanks for any help!

I have a table named ColorValues with the following three fields:
- ID
- MunsellCode
- RGBValue
30 fields from another table called Color_Analysis are linked to the above with one to many relationships (I've already thought of other ways to normalize data, but this is the most efficient, so no need to go into this topic).
Now, I've constructed a form for Color_Analysis and all 30 fields recording color are included as combo boxes bounded on the ID in ColorValues and displaying the MunsellCode for the user. I've also created unbounded text fields next to the combo boxes and want to use them to display the color that the user selected in the ComboBox. The question is how do I do this?
Essentially I need a piece of code that picks up the value of the combo box (this is essentially the ID in ColorValues), looks up that value in the ID column of the ColorValues table and uses the corresponding RGBValue of the same table as the .BackColor for the unbounded text field.

I am new to MS Access database and I am currently developing a DB with search function in a form for an inventory purpose, I have followed some VB codes from the web.
Here is my issue; when I try to search using the configured combo box in the form it gives me these sets of values, here is the screenie //oi57.tinypic.com/24fxwzk.jpg (just add the http: before the forward slashes as the site wont allow me to post images or links yet)
Row source for data: "-1";"Office 2010";0;"Office 2007";1;"Visio 2010";2;"Visio 2007";3;"Project 2010";4;"Project 2007"
and here is the VB code:
If Not IsNull(Me.compName2) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Computer Name] Like ""*" & Me.compName2 & "*"") AND "
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.cUser2) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Current User] Like ""*" & Me.cUser2 & "*"") AND "
[Code] ...
I just wanted to eliminate the numbers and replace them with the actual values as name. ex. "-1";"Office 2010" instead of (-1) doing the search, it should be the value "Office 2010"

I want to have a list box, which is populated with information from a table/query, to 'filter' what it displays based on what i type in a text box, but i need it to search multiple fields. E.g. say I have a field called name and another called address, and say there are 3 johns in the name field of the table, i want the list box to filter all the other names out and just show me the johns and update automatically. but using the same text box i would like to also be able to search addresses and filter them.
code for the 'On Change' event of the text box to reload the query in the list box. I need to put in the 'criteria' section of the query, i have sound this so far but unsure if its right for every field in the query:
LIKE "*" & [Forms]![Form1]![txtSearch] & "*"

Autofill text field using combo box selectionHello,
I'm trying to autofill a field on a form using MS-Access 2010 Web version sharepoint using macros without coding.
The form has an existing Combo Box field called Segment, using the row sources "REW", "WTT", "DBM".
A user begins filling out the form and eventually selects the Combo Box for Segment and selects any one of the segment no Multiple selection
There is another text field, which is actually alpha-numeric, called Job_No. I want this to autofill based on their Segment selection, using this format:
REW-YYMMDD-TTTT, or REW-131210-20001 for example, for today with the time displayed as military time and last Job No.(20001) for REW and Also for WTT (30001) as starting number.

Hello,
I'm new to using Access, and come from a library background, and I'm trying to use Access to build a library database. So far it's going well, but when it comes to searching using a form and applying a filter I can only get it to search one field at a time, and really I want to search two or more depending on which field I'm using.
Is this possible? and how do I do it?
Any help very would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Ive designed a databse - no problem. Ive done all queries I need to - no problem. Ive designed forms for entering data and reports for showing data - no problem. THE ONE PROBLEM I have is with 1 field.
The problem is that the field is a memo box, used to add data on groups attended. For example: General, customer care, mystery shopping.
Can I run a query so that a different user can search the memo box for attendence to a certain group? eg, search this databse and field for customer care.
At the moment I can only seach on the first word in the field. I dont really want to have seperate fields as each employee can have attendence to different groups ie bo can have just general while bill has general, mystery shopping, customer care etc.
Any help would be great
