I have 2 forms (linked). One is plan, the other is plan contacts.
The plan contacts form is a continuous form and will hold a record of all the contacts for that particular plan. To select the contact (from that contacts table) i want to show, company, department, name.
As there will be hundreds of contacts i need to narrow this down for the user. My idea was to do this by using combo boxes. The first one will show a list of all companys, once chosen the second one will show all that companys departments and then finally all that deapartments contacts.
Any ideas? I am assuming this can be done through an SQL query?
I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
I have a form that uses a drop down to populate another drop down (field#2). The information in field(#2) is pulled from a table where the condition in the first drop down is matched. In effect the form drills down and offers specific choices based on the original condition.
The form works correctly when first opened. If the selection in the first drop down changes the associated information in the other field does not update to reflect the new value to match. The form has to be closed and re-opened before it works properly.
I have some combo boxes on a form with values that I have typed in directly. I would like the user to click on these and the option selected will dynamically change a resultset. Unfortunately, when I click on the combobox, the optionsare displayed, but clicking on each of the options doesn't do anything... i.e. the option does not become selected.
Is there any way to have a Multi-Select Combo Box fill a single field in a table? I've been messing with this for some time now and just can't seem to figure it out.

Have a subform: Name: frmProjectSub1 Default View: Continuous Forms
A combo box within the subform: Name: cboProjectName Control Source: Nothing Row Source Type: Table/Query Row Source: SELECT ProjectName FROM tblProjects WHERE tblProjects.Status LIKE "*" ORDER BY ProjectName; Column Count: 1 Bound Column: 1 Visible: Yes Enabled: Yes Locked: No Allow AutoCorrect: Yes Tab Stop: Yes OnClick Event: Private Sub cboProjectName_Click() With Me.frmProjectSub1.Form Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[ProjectName] = " & Me.cboProjectName If Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then MsgBox "Can't find task " & Me.cboProjectName Else Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark End If End With End Sub
Within the continous form, if I name the Control Source as ProjectName, and traverse through the records, the value in the combo box changes to the current selected row.
Problem: In the combo box, I do get the dropdown list of projects, when I click on a project - Nothing Happens! The listbox stays open on the item that I clicked on -- does not close-up and put the selected item in the combobox window. I'm stumped...
I have a database of customers, and I'd like to be able to pull up a specific record on a form. Currently the only way I know how to do this is by ID number (the primary key). I'd like to be able to search by their last name and first name (of course we have people with the same last name), so for instance I'd like to be able to input "Smith" and then have a list of all the smiths to choose from. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!
I could set the Combobox.Value to one of the values in the combo box and combo box displays that value. But when I try to use Combobox.Value subsequently it does not have any value. I noticed that the value property is populated only when the combox box item is manually selected(highlighted).
I work for a company which have a load of cd's which i've put into a database.
the database consists of a table which lists the contents, date created, department etc.
I've created a form where users can select (using combo box's) criteria to search the database.
It works well if the user selects relevant data from each combo box but i have now added a "select all" function to each combo box incase the user doesn't know the specific criteria.
This is where the trouble starts. I cant work out how to create the query so that if the combo box is on "select all" how it will show all records for that particular field.
I have tried to use an IIF function for each field in the query but i always get errors.
I currently have a select query that has a where statement to select a value depending on the value of a combo box in a form.
WHERE (((tblSampleSubmission.SubmissionNumber)=[Forms]![frmReportPreview]![SubNumber]))
What I am wondering is there any way that the where statement can be for another form depending on what form is currently active by using an "or" statement?
Basically what I am trying to do is make the db as easy to use as possible and not have to type in the value again.
I am trying to make a combo box that is controlled by the value in a previous combo box. The first combo box lists genres for games (e.g. RPG, Sports, Action) and the second, when necessary, will expand on this. For example, if Sports is selected in the first, the second would display a list of sports (Football, Hockey etc.).
The following items from my database are relevant to this question:
tblGames uses a lookup wizard to assign the tblGenres list to the GameSubGenre field. Also, tblSubgenres uses a lookup wizard to get the value for SubGenreGenre from tblGenres.
I built the following select query using the expression builder:
SELECT tblSubgenres.Subgenre, tblSubgenres.SubgenreGenre FROM tblSubgenres WHERE (([SubgenreGenre]=Games!GameGenre));
When I run the query, it asks me to enter a value for Games!GameGenre. If I enter a correct value, it lists just the sub-items I want. However, if I set GameSubGenre in tblGames as a combo box that looks up from qrySubgenres, the combo box will remain blank always.
I have a form that has a combo box that contains every query in my database. This worked fine until i started having to create cascading queries to return the data I want. How can i populate my combo box with only certain queries in my database.
This is the code I was using to put all queries into my combobox.
FROM MSysObjects WHERE MSysObjects.Name NOT LIKE "~*" AND MSysObjects.Type = 5 ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;
Upon clicking a button or clickin the query in the list, I want the query to run......So the main question is how to I include certain queries in my combo box but not all of them? I do not know SQL or any programming, so as specific as possible will help immensely. Thank you everybody.
I have a table in my database with customer records including account number and account name. On a form I would like to set up a combo where the account number is selected and for the corresponding account name to appear in an adjacent text box.
The customer account number control is currently a textbox for manual entry but I want to change that to a combo with the AccountNumber field set as the control source.
I would like to know how to get the customer name to appear in the CustomerName textbox when the account number is selected from the new combo.
Any help would be appreciated and I enclose a copy of the form on a word doc.
I am using the combo box in a form for selecting a report to be printed out. The source is a table with all the report names stored. I would like to prevent users from changing the data and yet they can can click on 1 single report they need. I cannot disable the allowedits in the combo box which will prevent the user from selecting. Is there a solution to this or should I use another method (if any). Thanks for any reply.
Hiya, I currently have a query that looks up staff names and then if they click a staff name from the combo box on a form they are then able to preview a report showing their performance. I want the combo box to have the ability to be left blank or the option to select all so that I can preview all their performance in the report.
I want to try to restrict the user not always changing the record, so i need a Disable combo box command. And i did try it by using "Name.Enabled = False" after user select the value from the combo box, but the program won't let me do that because of the record is on focus. So what can i do? I only have an idea of after the user select the value from cbo then jump the cursor immediately to the second column, but anybody can tell me how to do that? Thanks alot!
I have a combo box(drop down box), it uses a select statment to get data. I want to assign each choices (item) from the combo box to a label's caption.
for exmaple the comobo box has these choices (item) ______________ |drop down box| apples pears grapes melons
I want to have 4 labels each label will have caption equal to each item in the drop down box so we now have
apples as label 1's caption pears as labe' 2's caption grapes as label 3's caption melons as label 4's caption
how might I be able to do this in VBA? IS there a way to select an item from a combo box and the set the label's caption equal to that? Something like:
I have a databse which uses a query and a form to filter records from 1 table into a report. It works well, however the way in which it works currently means i would need around 15 forms as there are (going to be) around 15 tables.
What I would like to do is add a combo box at the very top of the form to select the source table for the other combo boxes on the form (hope this makes sense!!).
This link is a test version of the database (Access 2000):
I using access 2010 and I am trying to code (VBA) one of my combo box to auto select if another combo box consist of multiple selections. So for example I have a multi select combo box that has a list of departments and based on what the user selects I want the other combo box to automatically select itself if one or more of the department in the first combo box is selected:
I have a combo box that won't allow me to select an item. The box is on a subform. When viewing only the subform, it works. When viewing the subform from the main form, it won't work.
I have a form for entering property tax. The form is based on a table called investments. The form contains a combo box to select the appropriate property for data entry to the table. The two fields in the combo box are Property PIN and Property ID. The property ID is a combination of tax year+state+county+PIN. The same property can come up in more than one tax year so there are duplicate PINs but the Property ID is unique and is the key field. My problem is the combo box shows the duplicate PINs with their respective unique Property IDs as separate records but will only select the record for the earliest tax year regardless of which records I select on the combo box.
