Selecting Multiple Items In Combo Box...
Feb 1, 2005Is 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!!
Selecting Two Items For Query From Combo Box
Jul 22, 2015I 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?

Sep 4, 2005Hey Guy and Ladies,
In one database (Originally an Orders Database created by wizards)
This code to add items to a drop down list in the “orders details subform” works fine.
Private Sub ProductID_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_DblClick
Dim lngProductID As Long
If IsNull(Me![ProductID]) Then
Me![ProductID].Text = ""
Else
lngProductID = Me![ProductID]
Me![ProductID] = Null
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm "Products", , , , , acDialog, "GotoNew"
Me!ProductID.Requery
If lngProductID <> 0 Then Me![ProductID] = lngProductID
Exit_ProductID_DblClick:
Exit Sub
Err_ProductID_DblClick:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_ProductID_DblClick
End Sub
When the same code runs in my new database
Private Sub OptionID_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_OptionID_DblClick
Dim lngOptionID As Long
If IsNull(Me![OptionID]) Then
Me![OptionID].Text = ""
Else
lngOptionID = Me![OptionID]
Me![OptionID] = Null
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm "Products", , , , , acDialog, "GotoNew"
Me!OptionID.Requery
If lngOptionID <> 0 Then Me![OptionID] = lngOptionID
Exit_OptionID_DblClick:
Exit Sub
Err_OptionID_DblClick:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_OptionID_DblClick
End Sub
I get the error message
“You tried to assign the Null value to a variable that is not a Variant date type”
Any suggestions?
Also if anyone knows a better way to add items to a list box “On the Fly” I would really appreciate it.
It would be nice if you could type in the value and it would automatically add it to the list for future use.
Thanks for all of your help,
Joe
Filtering Out Items In Combo Boxes
Aug 3, 2006Need some help here....
I am designing a database to keep track of workers for a haunted house. I have a Roster table, a table of all the nights we are open, a table of Spots in the house, and a table to record who works what nights and what spot they are in. This table has a Room combo box and a Spot combo box. The Room combo has a Row Source of SELECT DISTINCT SpotsAll.Room FROM SpotsAll ORDER BY SpotsAll.Room; The Spot combo is then populated with VB code all the Spots that are in that room. That works fine. This is what I'm trying to accomplish: When a Spot is assigned to a Worker for that night, I want that spot to no longer be available in that list FOR THAT PARTICULAR NIGHT. So, lets say Joe Somebody works in Spot 1 (out of 4 lets say) of the Library Room, when we assign another person to the Library room, I don't want Spot 1 in the Spot list.
Can this be done with a query or VB code? If I'm not making sense, please let me know. I can also upload the Database I am creating so that you can play around with it and see what I mean.
(I have attached a word doc. that shows the table relationships.)
Thanks a lot ahead of time!!

Selecting Records In A Subform Based On Several Combo Boxes
Feb 2, 2005Here 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

Report Using Cascading Combo Boxes By Selecting Item
Jul 2, 2012I have made a Cascading Combo Boxes form . This form has 3 combo boxes. Its working perfectly
I have to select items in all 3 combo boxes to get a report.
What i want is, if I do not select (leave empty) any item in the third combo box it should give me the report for all the items in the third combo box "Me.SubDesCbo"
How can I do that. I am using the following code:
Private Sub cmdOpenReportSingle_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Const REPORTNAME = "Yarn Report"
Const MESSAGETEXT = "All Combo's Must Be Selected."
Dim strCriteria As String
' build string expression to filter report
' to selected customer and account

Cascading Combo Boxes - Open A Form And Add Multiple Items To A Table

Combo Boxes & "New" Records/Items
Sep 8, 2006In the past I have used a combo box (in a form), based on a table, to update a record in another table. However, this method only allows the user to select an existing item in the combo box's list of items to select.
I would like for the user to be able to have a combo box that provides a list ot items to select from but also has the ability to allow the user to type in a new item. I know that FileMaker Pro has the ability to do this, but I hate FileMaker Pro. Does anyone know how to do this in Access?
Selecting Two Items From A Single Field
Jan 2, 2007I want to be able to perform an AND search on a field where both specified values must be present for an item to be selected.
I have a table with some properties of items. Each record in the table is for a specific item and one of its properties. Say for instance that I want to list the items that are described with both "red and green". Assume that there are entries for widgetA to widgetG with colors "red, blue, yellow, purple" and widgetB and widgetE also has the property "green" in addition to the others ... the query should return widgetB and widgetE only.
I tried to use MSAccess 2003 query builder but cannot get the AND result to work. I switched to an OR and verified that the two values I am searching for do exist for two items in my table.
Here is the SQL statement that did not work.
SELECT Properties.PropertyIndex, Properties.HerbOilLink, Properties.PropertyTypeIndex, Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex
FROM PropertyType INNER JOIN Properties ON PropertyType.PropertyTypeIndex = Properties.PropertyTypeIndex
WHERE (((Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex)=80 And (Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex)=15));
Selecting Multiple Items On Combobox
Nov 23, 2006Hello to all .
Have you got any idea ?
I have a List Box in a table and it is set to permit multiple items selection
from it .
The fact is I can select, as I wanted, multiple items from it through
the Form but when I go to the correspondent table to see the results
the selected data from the List Box isn't there .
Note all data selected from the List Box is visible trough the Form but
not the table .
Has this problem anything to do with mismatch in data type configuration on the table ?
Lots of thanks in advance

Selecting Multiple Items For Email
Jan 30, 2007 hello once again
Scenario:
I currently have a form that the users can browse through listings of items for sale. While going through the records, they can mark with a checkbox of which items to include in a report to send in an email. The check box is currently part of the listings table, and i then run a query to pull items with the box checked, then put those in to a report, then they can email.
Problem:
about 5 users use this database, so if one user is selecting items that they want it's going to cause a problem for another user to select only the items he wants since it is all updating to the same table. Ex, if I select items 2 and 3 and another person selects items 4 and 5, when I click to show the report, its going to show items 2,3,4,5. Make sense?
Solution:
Since there are only 5 users, I made them all aware of this, and also created a reset selected email checkbox button, that sets the checkbox back to unchecked so the next person can select their own items and email. There has to be a better way to fault proof this, I just can't think of one. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Selecting Items And Automating Actions
May 19, 2012I have a report, which shows all unsold items for a particular auction date, and I have created a form using this report.
I'd like my sister in law, to be able to go through and easily select which items to relist, and which to return.
I've tried using a subform, but I've either not done it correctly, or its not quite the right tool for the job. I've tried listbox control but can't get it to work properly either.
Once she has gone through the list ticking one or the other, I'd like to be able to automate with a button "Relist" and a button "ReturnItem".
I'd like Items to be returned - to automitcally close item off so it no longer incurrs a weekly listing fee and change status to "ReturnToSeller" and the relist ones, to create a new entry line into the main item table, with replicated information, except it clears out the "lot number", as they enter that manually when the generate a new list for the next auction, my ID numbers remain current and unchanged but the tableID is automated to a new one which is my key number.
then on my invoice, I get for instance, 3 rows for one Item, which could have 3 different lot and ID numbers, and get a listing fee of £1.20 for each week you see.
How can I automate the actions to relist and Return to Seller?
Forms :: Selecting Between One And All Items In A Parameter Control?
May 25, 2013I have a Parameter form which provides various parameters to my queries. The Parameter Form has a Combo box with a list of 50 health facilities which the user can select according to their needs.
There are instances when a user needs data from just one health facility and at times the data is needed for all the 50 health facilities in the district.
How do i address both needs without having to keep adding and deleting the criteria in the underlying queries?
I have added the 'if' condition below in the queries criteria so that if the user does not enter a facility in the combo box, it runs all facilities and if they enter a facility name then the data in the reports is limited to that health facility.
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Parameter Form]![Combo27]),"",[Forms]![Parameter Form]![Combo27])
It does not work.
Is the expression or VBA code supposed to be entered in the Query or in the Parameter form and how do I make it work?

Adding Items To List Boxes
Oct 4, 2006This is a somewhat complicated question to explain, so please bare with me.
I have a form with a ‘list box.’ The box is populated using a Table/Query Row Source Type method. The table I am grabbing the list from is “Department,” where it contains a list of my company’s departments(ie. Accounting, HR, Payroll, etc.).
Now, the only thing this table does not have is the word “ALL.” I need this word in the “List Box” because I want users to have the option to select ALL.
Is there anything in VBScript code wise or in Row Source that I can do to include this word?
I know I can manually go into the Department table to simply add the word, but this is not the point, because there is more to that(I have different list boxes that are grabbing lists from different tables, AND I have to refresh these tables twice a week). Please help.
Thank you.

Forms :: Selecting Multiple Check Boxes
Nov 18, 2013I have a form that has three checkboxes (IDDocument, DrivingLicence and Certification) on it. What the form is looking to do is based on the selection it will open a scanned document of the requested documents. There are 5 permutations that could be selected (either first on only, second one only, third one only, first and second and first and third). How do I code the IF Statement this so that the system will look at the different options and then do certain things accordingly.The code I have at the moment is:
Public Sub ProcessRequest_Click()
Dim Form1 As String
Dim Form2 As String
Path = "Staff" & Me!EmployeeName & ""
If Me!IDDocument = True And Me!DrivingLicence = False And Me!Certification = False Then
Do one thing
ElseIf Me!IDDocument = False And Me!DrivingLicence = True And Me!Certification = False Then
Do a second thing
ElseIf Me!IDDocument = False And Me!DrivingLicence = False And Me!Certification = True Then
Do a thrid thing
ElseIf Me!IDDocument = True And Me!DrivingLicence = True And Me!Certification = False Then
Do a forth thing
ElseIf Me!IDDocument = True And Me!DrivingLicence = False And Me!Certification = True Then
Do a final thing
End If
End Sub
All the bits work (the form stuff) but my IF statements are not working. It seems that access is seeing the checkboxes as null and so the IF is not working when i check box 1 and leave the other two unchecked.
Filtering Combo Box Based On A Value From Another Combo Box (in Multiple Items Form)
Mar 11, 2012Let's assume we have 3 tables:
Order_Category (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type_Name) with 2 records:
1, Minor
2, Major
Order_Type (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type) with 4 records:
1, Book
1, Pencil
2, Car
2, House
Orders (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type, value) with 2 records:
1, NULL, NULL
1, NULL, NULL
2, NULL, NULL
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID.
2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type
FROM Order_Type
INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID
WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).
Reports :: Counting Items And Putting Them In Text Boxes?
Jun 6, 2013I've got a table with 23 columns. Column 1 is the ID row which has a unique client ID in it. Then we've got a column called 1st_Reason and one that goes with it called 1st_Transfer_Date. This pair repeats for 2 through 10. Each of the Reason columns can have a set value, for example "First Processor".
What I need to do is create a date with months on the Y axis and the 5 different reasons on the X axis. I need to count the number of "First Processor" across all 10 Reason columns for each month. I would need to repeat that for each other reason type, but if I can get one to work I can simply change the reason type.
Here's what I'm using to count May's total:
Code:
=Sum(IIf([Current_Reason]="First Processor" And [Current_Processor_Transfer] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,IIf([1st_Reason]="First Processor" And [1st_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,0)))+(IIf([2nd_Reason]="First Processor" And [2nd_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,IIf([3rd_Reason]="First Processor" And [3rd_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
[Code] .....
I get wildly inconsistent results. On one of the types, it's only counting where it's the 1st_Reason. Some of the others return the same value regardless of which month I have selected.
General :: Auto Populated Text Boxes To Display Rows From Combo Boxes
Jan 25, 2015I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.
In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".
Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:
Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
