Selecting Certain Records To Display In An Unbound Combo Box
Sep 15, 2005
Ok sorry to be a pain :D
I have a main form frmProperty from where you can go via a button to frmTraining and these two are linked by "Property Code".
On frmTraining i have an unbound combobox which gets it data from the tblTraining table. I want this to only display data for the "Property Code" that the frmProperty is pointing to.
I assumed this would just work if the link criteria was present in the button code, however it appears that no matter what the "Property Code" the combo box displays all the data in the tblTraining table.
Anybody have any ideas?
Many thanks

I created a subform that displays the records of a select query after selecting the desired data from a single combo box (for instructors name) and then using an OpenQuery macro attached to a button.
Only 1 record is displayed in the subform each time I hit the button. If I look at the query return there is no change. However, if I close the query and select a new instructors name, although I only get one record in the subform, the query when opened shows all the correct records.
What is wrong with my macro/subform?

Selecting a value from an unbound combo box in Access 2000
Hi,
I am attempting to default a combo box to a value I have passed in. I have already populated the combo box dynamically by setting the column numbers and widths and specifying the row source as Value List, supplying the row source string.
Since I am working with classes and collections, I wish to avoid data binding as I would prefer that the classes handle everything, which they can do.
Now my problem is that I cannot find how to select the correct value on the dropdown after populating it with all the values. When I try a line like:
cboAppType.Column(0) = lngValue (where lngvalue corresponds with a value in the list)
it returns the error "object required". It won't recognise the column at all, even though it sees and displays the rows and columns.
I am beginning to tear my hair out as I have been struggling against Access all the way to try and implement unbound combo boxes and listboxes and having overcome everything else, I'm stuck just here.
Any help very much appreciated - thank you

I am using an unbound box on the top of a form where I would like to select a clients name and have the form populate with their info. My problem is that the box will pull up the record by last name, but only pull up the first record with that last name in alphabetical order.
Example, If I have the following names in my database
Ben Smith
John Smith
Tim Smith
If I select "john smith" from the drop down "ben smith" will show up, if I select "tim smith" "ben smith" will still show up. If I select "ben smith" the correct record would show up.
An image of the property sheet is attached ....

Is it possible to have a combo box on a form and allow users to select multiple entries from the drop-down list? Thats just the tip of the iceburg. If you can, then I'll probably be asking more questions soon.
Thanks in advance.

Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
I have a main form which has 4 combo boxes all based on tblPeople.
Combo0 is skill
Combo1 is discipline
Combo2 is crart
Comb03 is active
The sub form is a datatable list of the tblpeople.
How do I apply the filter to the datatable. I am assuming I need to build a sql statement somewhere like SELECT from tlpeople WHERE me!combo0 = [tblpeople].[skill] and me!Combo1=[tblpeople].[discipline] etc
Is there a sample database? or can somebody tell me how to go about this.
Thanks
Steve

Hi I'm a real newbie at this but basically I have a form displaying three lots of contacts Expediting, Quotation & Miscellaneous contacts.After choosing the company name from a list box it displays the Expediting, Quotation & Miscellaneous contacts info - but doing it this way there isnt much space on the screen to show all the Contact names,Telephone fax & email addresses clearly& at a decent size.Apart from the company list box I want to have a list box/combo box with:
Expediting
Quotation
Miscellaneous
and then after choosing Expediting, Quotation or Miscellaneous from the list/combobox i want it to take the relevant data from the Expediting, Quotation, or Miscellaneous contacts sections and only display the information relating to those sections only, therefore allowing me to have bigger text and not so cramped display so everyone can read it ok and get more info on the screen for each contact group.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated!!!! Thankyou in advance for any help. Be gentle with me I am a newbie,lol.
Thanks again

Access 2007
Unbound Form
I have a onclick tied to a label (for decoration purposes) that when clicked it launches VBA that essentially updates a form. All that part works except it will not recognize any changed value of the field I was last in?
Just to try to explain best as I can what happens.
- Form gets opened
- I change field (quantity field)
- I click the Label
- It reverts to pre-existing value.
if I click off of the text field first then do the onclick - it recognizes just fine.

Here's the situation.
I have a calculated value in an unbound textbox (avghcppmw). I want to run a query (qinsphistory) in which one of the fields is the value of the textbox (avghcppmw).
Is there any way to pull the value from the form and display it in the query. I'm assuming not.
I also assume the only way to do this would be to create a query that would calculate the textbox value and base (qinsphistory) on the newly made query.
Is this correct?

I am working on a change control database where the users can enter a new version for the software they just released and send out a notification to the appropriate persons. I have a form where the user can select a combobox to pick the software version, which is bound to my "Releases" table. From the software version I use a DLookup in VBA to change the value of a another unbound text box using:
Me.Release_Type = DLookup("[Release_Type_ID_FK]", "Releases", "Release_ID_PK = " & Me.Release_ID)
This all works fine when I'm entering data in the form, but if I want to print the form, the unbound text box on each page is only calculated from the first record. The same thing happens if I build a report with the same fields and code.
For example: In print preview the text box on page 1 should say "Cat" based on the current record and the text box on page 2 should say "Dog". However, they both say "Cat"
How do I get the text box to display the new value on each page?

I would like to display the sum of all the payments referred to an invoice, in an unbound field in a form.
The invoices are stored in the table FACTURAS, and the payments, in the table REC-COB.
The main form is bounded to table FACTURAS and it has a subform bounded to REC-COB. The INVOICE number connects both form and subform (N° DOC <-> FACTURA).
Table: FACTURAS
Field: N° DOC
Table: REC-COB
Field: FACTURA
Field: IMPORTE indiv
If I am displaying the invoice information of FACTURA "A1000", in the subform I currently display all its payments (stored in REC-COB) but I also want to display the SUM OF THOSE PAYMENTS.
I tried:
=DSum("[IMPORTE indiv]",[REC-COB],[REC-COB]![FACTURA]=[detalle_fact]![N° DOC])
* detalle_fact: name of the main form

I have a quick question on Forms. I have a combo-box in a Form that displays the student ID, first name, last name, and test scores from a source table. I have selected only specific fields to display from the source table in the combo-box. The intention is to note down the ID of a student for future querying purpose and I’m looking at easier ways to do it.
The question I have is, as I look down the drop-down and select a student by his last name (say Johnson), I want the student ID to be selected (or copied) when I click the specific student. There could be many students with same last name, and once I select a particular student from the drop-down, I was wondering if there was a way for this ID to be copied or selected. At present, the student ID is written down and used later for querying other information.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what to search for so I thought Id write a new post:
I have a combo box which selects 3 items-
Primary key, Surname, Firstname
After an item is selected, the fields are populated according to the item.
Since there will be many records, it would be nice if the user can begin typing the surname and have predictive text, so the three items should then be-
Surname, Firstname, Primary key
So my question is, how do I get at the primary key if it is not selected?
myText = dlookup("myValue", "myTable", "primarykey = '" & ???? & "'")
If this does not make sense, what I am trying to say is:
The surname is selected, but I want to do a calculation based on the primary key so I get all the data associated with that user. I cant use the surname because there are duplicates.
Thank you

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to use a combobox where you could select a month and year (eg March 2004, April 2004) so I could run a query to find orders made during the chosen time period.
Does anyone have any ideas how this could be done?
Cheers,
Ben

In Access 2013, I would like to be able to choose more than one value from a combo box, but I believe this is not possible. However, I can prepare a list box and set the Multi Select to Extended. Doing this, I can indeed select more than one value, but I don't know how to get those values into a text field in the form. (If poss, they would become comma separated in that field). Ideally, the code would call the list box because it would take up too much space if it were there all of the time.

Hi all
I am trying to get my head around some of the more advanced “features” of access..
At the minute I am trying to change the criteria of a query from selecting a value from within a combo box.. I believe I have got the syntax correct, but I keep getting no results returned..
I am using:
[forms]![frmMovies]![combo2] as the criteria where frmMovies is the name of the form, and combo2 the name of the combo box.. I have set combo2’s source as the table containing the movie information “tblMovies”
Before you ask I am not trying to setup my own movie store, more apply the theory to a bigger DB that I am working on :-p
Hopefully you can help, as I have now been scouring the forums for 2 days and am getting no where..
Thanks in advance
Noel

I seem to remember that there is a way, in a combo box, of entering an entry that isn't displayed in the combo box, so that you can then process that entry into a form's underlying table?
I think the example of doing this was in the MS Samples database for either Access 97 or Access 2000.
Does anyone recall what I'm talking about? Second question, does anyone have a link to those sample databases? Our technicians didn't bother loading the samples for us, so I'm kinda stuck.
Thank you tremendously to any and all who reply..... I'm looking forward to your responses!

Is it possible to select more than one item in a combo box? I have attached a sample of a database I am working on. I have a table called Interests and on the Bookings form, I would like to be able to select more than one interest in the Interests combo box, but I can't figure out how to do it. In databases I have seen, you simply have to hold down ctrl or shift to make multiple selections - that's what I want to do.
Can anyone help, please?
Thank you!!

I have an unbound combo (because it is synchronised with another unbound combo box) box that selects a record, but I can not get it to update the rest of the form to show the required data.
The form looks up project data from 3 seperate tables which are all linked by relationship.
What do I need to do to make this work?
Thx for looking.

I have a form to modify existing property records. Each record has a PIN number and a unique ID which is a combination of year, state county and PIN. The same property can have a record for more than one year. On this form I have a combo box for selecting the record to be modified. The combo box includes PIN and Prop ID. The combo displays each record by PIN then ID as separate records. For example:
PIN Prop ID
06104409012 2007-IL-Lake-06104409012
06104409012 2010-IL-Lake-06104409012
But when I select a record it will always select the first record with identical PINs. In the case above if I click the 2010 ID the record fills in with the 2007 ID.

I have a combo box that has three items in it. Name, ID_Num, Date
I need to use ID_Num and Date to filter the results of query. I can use one or the other but not both. I have tried ListIndex but apperently am writing it wrong in the expression builder.
[Forms]![TableName]![Combo0].
[ListIndex]????????????
I have tried =0, =1, =2 after the
[ListIndex] but it doesn't work.
How do I use two items from combobox in a query?

I am using an unbound object frame to display an .png image file which is set in vba.
The image is an excel chart saved as a .png
The problem I have however is that the image I save from Excel is great quality, and is pretty tack sharp, but when I display the same file in the unbound object frame in access, it is not nearly as sharp.
I am setting the picture property of the control as:
ubImageUserChart = "c: empmyChart.png"
It displays alright, but is just a bit fuzzy - still quite legible, but it is a complex graph with a lot going on - has regressions and formulas etc on the graph, and they need to be very clear.
BTW - the unbound frame is the same size as the Excel chart which gets saved as a .png file. If I tile the images (Access unbound frame and original file in picassa preview) side by side - they are identical - size, orientation etc.
It is not practical for me to try and do the chart natively in access as it is way to complex. I am using access vba to drive an excel session to do all the statistical yack work and chart rendering, then displaying a png image of the resulting chart in an unbound object frame in access.
