Hi, I have a list box on a form that has peoples names in it. What I would like to do is double click a name then open another form that shows that name in a textbox. I know it can be done, but I'm unsure of the code for it. Thank you!
View RepliesI have a multi slect list box (simple) and I need to find and select an item using vba - e.g., the bound column is the ID field and I need to select a specific ID (which will be different each time) as opposed to selecting the 100th record for example. How do I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
is there any (reasonably simple) way to select or deselect multiple items from the List Box with individual clicks without using Ctrl key. Eg first click on an item would select it leaving all other items as they are, subsequent click on the already selected item would deselect it etc. I hope this is not too confusing and I would appreciate some help.
Thanks!
Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler

How To Transfer MultipleSelect Item In Listbox to another Listbox ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI created a form and created on it a list box which is a query that grabs certain number of fields from different tables. I would like the user to select from this list box of a choice and then store their selection into a table.This list box has three fields, but it needs to store the id rather than the item, the user would see the name of the item but the id of the item would be store into another table, called bid. It store all these three fields when a user selection one of the item from the list.

I have an access base with the tables (data) and an access base with forms modules etc (program) located on the server, tables are linked.
i have 3 or 4 users for this application.
Here is my problem:
When a user 'A' creates a new record if user 'B' click on the modifiable list the record appears in the list but when he tries to select it, that is the 1st record of the table wich is displayed in the form ?!!, if user 'B' close and re-run the application theres is no problem.
What's wrong ?
I have next & previous records in my form and there is the same problem user 'B' can't reach the record added by user 'A'
I used .requery on each list boxes so my lists are well updated but i can't solve this selection problem (my form is based on the table)
Thanks in advance for help.
Hi,
This is my first posting on this forum, and I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue...
I have a form that is used for entering information into tables. I would like to be able to select multiple options from a list on a form and have it saved into a table. Any ideas? Is this even possible :confused:
Here are some paths I followed:
The table has a List Box field, type Text, that gets values for the list items from another table. On the form, I have changed the Multi-Select property of the List Box to "Extended" so that the user can select multiple items from the list. But when I select items from the List Box, the table is not getting updated with the selected items.
Another way I tried doing this: The table has a List Box field that has no values (I'm not looking up values from another table). On the form, I set the Row Source of the List Box equal to the query that gets the list values from a table. I then set the Multi-Select property to "Extended". When I select multiple items from the List Box, the table doesn't get updated.
FYI: The control source for the list box on the form is pointing to the field in the table.
Thanks,

Good Afternoon! I am working on a database that tracks our members' attendance at a large meeting. Every person at the meeting has at least one role to play at the meeting and may have up to four. I have created a "tablePositions" with the fields "PositionID" and "Position" to define the various roles people can play at the meeting. In my "formRegistration" form I created a list box with the multiselect property set to Simple. The list is working fine, it appears in my form, it displays the names of the positions (as opposed to the PositionID), and I can select more than one "Position". However, when I view the "tableRegistration" table, I do not see any of the "Positions" I clicked on. I would like them to display (for example) "Delegate, Committee Chair, Trustee" in the "Position" field.
I have been digging around the forum to see if any other threads matched my problem, but couldn't find exactly the same issue. I know enough about access to be dangerous, but could you please include the code and where to put the code in your reply?
Thank you. I really appreciate websites like yours!

I have a check box that when selected will highlight another Text box which I then need to put in an amount ($). This amount I want copied into yet another Text box which contains other information I have provided.
I have tried to use the IIf function but I am obviously not succeeding.
In the Text box I have the formula as follows:
IIf([Combo23]=True, "[Text23]")
All this formula results in is '[Text23] because that's what is in the inverted commas. How can I get the actual $ amount to go into the text box.
Thankyou so much for your help.
Good morning all...
I have two questions regarding a multi-select list box.
First, is there any way to have the list box include multi-line items...or which will scroll beyond the right border of the box?
Second, I have a multi-select list box which is populated with an ID # column and a Description column. The user can select as many items from the list box as needed and, as the list box item is clicked, the ID # is added to a memo field on the form, with each ID # delineated with a coma. Is it possible to separate the memo field back out so that each item is identified individually (for report purposes)?
Thanx so much for your help with this...you guys/gals are simply the best!

I would like to be able to create a recipe (saved in its own table) by pulling items from a multiselect list box (from the raw materials table) but which allows me to add the same ingredient more than once.
I work for a chemical manufacturing company and we need to track the cost of goods by recipe (final product), by linking the ingredients (where the cost of the raws are associated) to the final prodcut. Several of our products need to have chemicals added in the beginning, but then again at the end of the procedure unlike normal kitchen recipes.
(I sure hope I don't have to learn VBA . . . I'm totally new at Access!)

I am using a Multi Select List Box to display a list of names from a table, in order to select e-mail recipients. The names are in two fields: [Main]![First Name] and [Main]![Surname].
I have done this by using the following code for the rowsource:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Main![e-mail], Main![First Name], Main!Surname FROM Main;
This gives a rather undesired effect, in that shorter first names have a large gap before the surname. In addition, there is a dull separating line between the two columns, thus:
Jane | Smith
Bartholomew | Simpson
My questions:
Is it possible to arrange the names so they appear in one column, with a space between them? (i.e. they would appear as written)
If not, can I get rid of the separating line?
Many thanks in advance if you can help!
Currently I am using a multiple select list box in a form to select the engineer names for a report. I am looking for some enhancement.
Firstly when I do not select any name, there is no records displayed. I need to show all records if I do not select any name in the dropdown list.
I would like to create anther format of report to suit other purpose. Can I add the selection of these two reports apart from the selection of engineer name.
After I complete the selection on the form, I click a command button that has On Click event that consists of following code.
Private Sub Command15_Click()
'Create a string that we can apply to the filter criteria
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "" 'Initialize string variable
Dim varSelection As Variant

I want to select an item in a listbox that has a specified value when I open the form that contains this listbox. Most I've found describes selecting records based on their index value but I want to select an item according to the actual value that's displayed in the listbox. For example, the first number below is the index value, the 2nd is the number I'm interested in and the 3rd is another column in the listbox:
0 1 12345
1 2 33256
2 4 36280
I'm using the OpenArgs property to pass the value (a long integer primary key) to the opening form but I don't know the syntax or correct terminology for ensuring the specified row is selected in the listbox. At present, using the above example, if I want to select the row with the value 2, it's selecting the 3rd row rather than the 2nd.
it has a listbox, wich RowSource is a query with 5 fields, BoundColumn is field#1.I have a comboBox with values of field#1 to have an 'AfterUpdate' Event, that highlights the row in the listBox that has the value of the comboBox in in field#1.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use access to gather information on testing that is conducted at my company. In the database I designed I set up a multiselect list box for when the people who conducted the test can check off the test equipment that they used. I did this because at anytime any number of different items can be used. Though I don't think we have ever used more then 10 test items. The reason for tracking the items that were used is if they, when out for yearly calibration, come back out of spec we can look at what tests used that equipment. As I further develop my system, I am starting to ask for more information from the requesters. I would like them to be able to check off what individual items are in the item being tested. Creating that list isn't the hard part for me.
My question comes in here. I know that using a multiselect list box is frowned upon as they can be sloppy to deal with when looking to extract data. Being as I am looking to expand my database, I was looking for what to do. I would still like to give the option of a multiselect list box, but should I create more fields and have the items used put into these new fields? Should I do the same for equipment that is used for the testing. If not and the list box is ok, how best to go through all the records to gather what ones used the specified equipment?
I have a simple question that I know will have a very complex answer
You have two sets of tables with identical structures. The first set contains data that is a model for the second set. The users run queries that append data to the second set of tables
Here is an example of the structure
TblSourceOne
SourceOneID
SourceOneData
TblSouceTwo
SourceTwoID
SourceOneID
SourceTwoData
TblSouceDetails
SourceDetailsID
SourceTwoID
SourceDetailsData
As you can see TblSourceTwo contains a foreign key from TblSorceOne and TblSorceDetails contains one from TblSourceTwo
The main table for the second set
TblTargetOne
TargetOneID
SourceOneID
TargetOneData
The user adds a record to the main table (TblTargetOne) then uses an append query to add all of the applicable records from TblSourceTwo to TbleTargetTwo
TblTargetTwo
TargetTwoID
TargetOneID
TargetTwoData
So now the user has a data model in TblSourceTwo which has been “copied” to TblTargetTwo
Next for each record in TblSourceTwo that has been copied to TblTargetTwo that has daughter records in TblSourceDetails another query is executed to copy all of the pertinate records to the TblTargetDetails
TblTargetDetails
TargetDetailsID
TargetTwoID
TargetDetailsData
Now the user has completely copied all of the necessary record for both table.
Finely the question
How can I use a multiselect list box to achieve this in one operation? I don’t care if it includes running multiple queries but it needs to appear as one single operation to the user.
Hi. First of all, this is my first post, so tell me if I'm being stupid.
I have a simple form, 'BuildingID', which contains a list box and two buttons. The list box lists a field from the records in the table 'BuildingID'. The two buttons are 'Add Building' and 'Delete Building'. The 'Add Building' button works fine, but I cant figure out how to make the other one work.
I want to be able to single click one of the records in the list box, then hit the 'Delete Building' button to delete the entire record. So I'm guessing I have to somehow make the record that I click on in the list box current when I click on it, then have a standard delete record button.
If anyone can help I would be very greatful. :)
Hi,
I would like to be able to select multiple items from a dropdown list like we often see on web forms. The kind where you hold down the control key to select up to 5 items. Is this possible on an access form? If so, how would do we implement, and how is such data be stored?
Thanks!

The coding below works fine. It presents a form with a list box of counties. Allows the user to select ALL, one or several counties and returns a query containing the clients from those counties.
The fields showing in the query are First, Last, Add1, FLAGToMap, City, Prov and Sector_Name.
I want to add in there a choice to select only the records that have are TRUE (-1) in the FLAGToMap field - just like the ALL button, this would be an ALL Selected Button let's say.
I would not know where to begin as I copied and adapted the coding below from a sample database and don't understand - at all - how the query is generated. The only coding in the form is the one below.
Private Sub cmdOpenQuery_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenQuery_Click

I am trying to create a form that allows the user to select a detective and multiple case statuses (such active, inactive, dna, filing, etc.). The form is intended to allow the user to determine the number of assigned cases. The form is tied to a query and the criteria that I've set up in the query is:
[Forms]![DET_CaseManagementFRM]![Combo30] which is under the investigator field.
The case status field has similar criteria [Forms]![DET_CaseManagementFRM]![List43].
My problem is that I cant figure out how to allow the user to select multiple criteria in case status field in my form. The research I've done online says you need to specify simple or extended in the Multi Select field under the other tab in the property sheet. However, when I do specify simple it doesnt return any records which I know it not true. Is there VB code that I need for this?
I have inherited a database that is used to track equipment that comes in for repair. One of the fields in this database is a memo field that lists the parts that are replaced on a piece of equipment. It has been requested that I leave this field as it is. However, I would like to regulate the data that is entered into to some extent. I need to ensure that there is a comma between every part number listed (there is another group that wants data from this database and they want to be able to separate this field out into individual fields). Is there a way to have Access look at the data in a memo field, find all the periods or ampersands, and replace them with commas?
The other thought I had was to provide the person filling in the database with a multi-select list box that lists all the available part numbers for a given piece of equipment. That person could select as many as she wants and when she was done, the database would take those values, put a comma between each one, and paste them in the memo field. Is that possible? What I have tried isn't working. I tried to get it to loop through the selected items and put them in the memo field, but I just end up with the last value selected instead of all of the items selected.
I don't know what to try next, Either the person entering the data is going to be upset because she has to type every part number in a different field, or the people receiving the data are going to be upset because there isn't a comma between each number.
A while ago I started to use the following code to list the printers installed on a computer. This is code by Wayne Phillips.
