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.
i have a combo box containing dates, however it will only display the date at the top of the list, no matter which date is selected. any help would be gratefully excepted! cheers
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.
Now I have a combo box "cbo_items" and a text box "txt_selectedItems", I want to populate text field with items selected from the combo box, every time i select an item it appears in text box and to be separated with comma, so text box appears like this ( item1, item2, item3), and after finishing the whole thing the result appears in lable "lbl_result" as "total items selected: 3 items".
I 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));
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 ?
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!
I 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?
I 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.
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..
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.
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).
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.
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?
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.
ok so I want a form that has a combo box with [item_id, item_name] on each row that i select. when i select one it displays the relevant quantity and allows me to edit the quantity.
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?
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.
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.)
I have a combo box in which I wish to show the Person_ID's of every record in the table TBL_Person, except those which are returned by a separate query. Is this possible at all?
I have a form that has three cascading combo boxs, plus a subform. The third combo has a list of questions, and you put your answer in the txt box in the subform.
What has to happen is that the combo box has a number of questions and each has to be answered, is there a way to know if all these questions have been answered by knowing what listindex or listcount ect that has be used and to have something set to advise the user that there are more questions and what ones are to be answered.
I have two synchronised combo boxes that are working brilliantly except for 1 thing.
The two boxes are Site and Building. I find a site from the Site box dropdown and only the buildings for that site are shown in the Buildings box dropdown. Perfect!
However, I have got 3 fields showing in my Buildings dropdown.
Private Sub cboSite_AfterUpdate() Me.cboBuilding.RowSource = "SELECT BuildingName, BuildingCode, Status FROM " & _ "BuildingT WHERE SiteID = " & _ Me.cboSite & _ " ORDER BY BuildingName" Me.cboBuilding = Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(0) End Sub
that is BuildingName, BuildingCode and Status.
All three show in the dropdown BUT only BuildingName shows in the actual Building Box and I would like all 3 to be visible once I have decided on the building name I need!!
Can this be done by changing
Me.cboBuilding = Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(0) (as above) to Me.cboBuilding = Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(0), Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(1), Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(2) or something similar??
Or do I need to create 2 new boxes to return the other values?? I am so close to achieving what I want with this form!!
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!
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.
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.
