List Box One Click Select/deselect With Multi Select

Aug 28, 2004

Hi,
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!

Use Multi-select List Box To Filter A Report With Two List Boxes

Nov 20, 2013

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
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items

Select From List BOX Of List Of Choices And Store This Into A Table

Aug 21, 2013

I 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.

Multi-Select List Box

Jun 10, 2005

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,
dbnewbie

Multiple Select List Box

Jun 28, 2005

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!

Using Formula To Select From A List Box

Jan 16, 2006

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.

Multi-Select List Box

Jun 6, 2006

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!

Multi List Select Problem

Sep 29, 2005

I have a dialog box where the users can filter a report by various combo boxes that works well. I'm trying to add a multiselect lis box option for one of the combo boxes and have added code which I've also used before. Together the code is looping through and opening the report without a problem, except it's not filtering by the options selected in the list box. Here's what I've got:

If Left(Me![cboSupplier].Column(0), 1) = "*" Or Right(Me![cboSupplier].Column(0), 1) = "*" Then
where = where & " AND [qssupp] Like " + Me![QSSupp].Column(0)
Else
where = where & " AND [qssupp]=" + Me![cboSupplier].Column(0)
End If

If Left(Me![cboPartNo].Column(0), 1) = "*" Or Right(Me![cboPartNo].Column(0), 1) = "*" Then
where = where & " AND [partID] Like " + Me![PartID].Column(0)
Else
where = where & " AND [PartID]=" + Me![cboPartNo].Column(0)
End If

For Each varItem In cboStatus.ItemsSelected
If strCondition = "" Then
strCondition = "[odstatusid] = " & cboStatus.Column(0, varItem)
Else
strCondition = strCondition & " OR [odstatusid] = " & cboStatus.Column(0, varItem)
End If
Next varItem

Set QD = db.CreateQueryDef("Dynamic_Query", _
"Select * from qryWeeklyOrderStatusRpt " & (" where " + Mid(where, 6) & ";"))
If (DCount("*", "Dynamic_Query") = 0) Then
MsgBox "There are no records to print"
Exit Sub
End If

Can anybody see where I'm going wrong?

Is It Possible To Select The Same Item Twice Using A MultiSelect List Box

Jun 29, 2007

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!)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Multi Select List Box Formatting

Jan 30, 2006

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!

Forms :: Using Multiple Select List Box?

Jun 24, 2015

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
'Iterate the selections in the listbox

Forms :: How To Select Item In A List Box Using VBA

Dec 30, 2014

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.

General :: Multi Select List Box

Dec 22, 2014

I 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?

Using Multi Select List Boxes To Run Queries

Apr 21, 2006

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.

Select Record From List Box To Make Current

Mar 15, 2006

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. :)

Modules & VBA :: Update Select List Coding?

Jun 23, 2013

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
Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim qdef As DAO.QueryDef
Dim i As Integer
Dim strSQL As String

Forms :: How To Select Multiple Criteria In A List Box

Feb 4, 2015

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?

Forms :: MultiSelect Or Single Select List Box?

Oct 15, 2013

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.
