Selecting From Combo-box

Nov 8, 2006

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.

Selecting Item From Combo Box

Jun 5, 2005

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

Selecting A Month From A Combo Box

Jul 7, 2006

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

Forms :: Selecting More Than One Value From Combo Box

Feb 3, 2014

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.

Selecting Query Criteria From A Combo Box.. Please Help!!!

May 17, 2007

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

Selecting Entries In Combo Box That Aren't There

Jul 14, 2006

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!

Selecting Multiple Items In Combo Box...

Feb 1, 2005

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!!

Update A Form By Selecting From A Combo Box

Apr 13, 2005

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.

Forms :: Selecting Record From Combo Box

Jun 24, 2013

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.

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

Selecting A Value From An Unbound Combo Box In Access 2000

Sep 29, 2006

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

General :: Second (Cascaded) Combo Box Only Selecting First Option

Mar 31, 2014

I have two dropdown boxes on my form, the second is dependent on the first and shows only employess from the company selected in the first dropdown box. I am using an AfterEvent update to filter the employees.

Now when I try and choose an employee other than the first one on the list it automatically goes back to the first person and the info in the subform only shows their information.

Forms :: Combo Box Selecting Beyond Displayed List

Sep 11, 2013

I have a working combo box on a form that displays issue numbers for part number typed into a text box.This all works fine when the list of issue numbers is below the displayed list (16), but when the list is longer than 16 you cannot seem to select anything after item 16.

When the combo box has, say 25 items a scroll bar appears allowing the user to scroll down to item 25, but when you click the mouse the list just reverts back to the first 16 items? The only way to select an item after 16 is to select item 16 which then closes the combo box, then when you reopen it the list now shows items 17 to 25 which you can then select item 25.

This is the same in reverse, when you have item 25 selected, you cannot select item 1. When you click the mouse the list reverts back to items 17 - 25.The combo box is populated in code using the lost focus event on the text box for the part number.

Selecting Records In A Subform Based On Several Combo Boxes

Feb 2, 2005

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

Forms :: Selecting A Table To Be Populated Using Cascading Combo Box

Aug 6, 2013

I am trying to use a combo box to control which table a data entry form will write data to. I want to create a form that has a combo box to select from a top level table that I will call "Stores". Once a "Store" is selected from the drop down, the next field on the form will be a data entry field. The data entered in that field will be written to the table selected by the preceding combo box.

So, basically I would have say Wal-Mart, Macy's, Sears, K-Mart and etc, listed in my "Stores" table. Once I select one of the stores from the drop down, I would then enter a "department" name in the data entry field and based on which store I selected from the previous combo box, the data would be written to that stores department table (which each store will have its own department table), e.g., WalMartDepts, MacyDepts, SearsDepts, etc...

Creating Auto Fill After Selecting From Combo Box Options

Jul 10, 2013

I just learned about Access 2007 since two days ago. I was assigned to do a database on the competency test records for my company.

I currently have 2 tables: tblCompetencyRecord and tblSections.

In tblSections, I have sectionname and sectionhead. PK is the sectionname.

I created a form from tblCompetencyRecord.

I have employee name, employee number, position, section, section head, test period, status and remarks on my form (like wise in my tblCR).

Now, I want to get Section field (combo box) to auto fill the Section Head field. I've searched high n low (i think), but i just couldn't figure it out.

Generating Filtered Report By Selecting A Month From Combo Box

May 8, 2013

Basically what I would like to do is create a Combo Box with each month of the year available to select. When I click on a specific month, I want it to pop open a Report based on my table that is filtered by the month I selected. I have a Date column already created in my base table to be my filtering device.

I've already learned how to use query's and reports a bit. I have a Command Button on my form that launches a report based on a query that only shows data for the current year. Likewise, I created one that only shows data for things with a specific item code using a [Which Item Code?] criteria in my query. So in theory, I could do this by creating 12 different buttons, 12 different query's, and 12 different reports. That seems like overkill though and it would seem there has to be an easier way to do that simply by using a combo box to select the month you want to filter.
