I have put a selection query as a subform in a form which shows client details. When the form opens from the switchboard it asks the user to enter the clients unique number and then the query links the number to the client ID (autonumber) which then populates the form with all the details for that client. This is all great but I have 2 questions?
1. If I put in an incorrect number or press cancel the form loads anyway with no record. Is there a way to force the user to re-enter the number or if the number does not exist say so, and then return to the switchboard. The aim of this form is for reference and not data entry anyway.
2. Once in the form correctly is there a way to 'refresh' the form so that it asks for the card number again. My plan is to have a button "search for another client" and when it is pressed the query runs again and the input box comes up.
I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
I've got an issue with a query/form combination that I'm working on. I have the following:
A query where one of the the fields is 'Name' (a text field). 'Name' can be one of 6 different values. I have a form which has 6 check boxes, one for each name. I'm using check boxes on the form rather than a multiple selection list box simply because I think it looks better.
When the user has checked one or more of the check boxes and hits the 'show results' button, I want the query to open up with the details for orders associated with the name(s) selected.
I am writing my query in 'design view' rather than in 'SQL view', and don't know what to put in the criteria box of the 'Name' field. Depending on which check boxes are checked, I'm building a string and storing it in a text box, called Text1. I think the best way to do the filter is to use the In operator, and I currently have a structure like this in the criteria of the query: In([Forms]![Form1]![Text1]). This, however, doesn't give any results.
The problem I have, therefore, is that I don't know the correct syntax for the text within Text1. If I have, for example "Rob","Dave" as the text in Text1, it doesn't work, but if I put In("Rob","Dave") in the criteria rather than referencing the text box, it works fine.
perhaps it could be a fault in my PC; though I designed a form which depends on a selection-query and when I fill in the criteria in the selction query to look for a certain record, my form display stays empty. Even empty records won't be shown. Is this phenomenon occuring either normal in Access or is this problem related to the configurations of whether my query or relations.
It's already pissing me off the whole day,
so I would be very eager to know what's the solution,
I have a table called Prem. It contains three fields (Offer, MailCode, MktgProgam). I want to have a form where a user can select. the Offer (from the offer field) Once selected, it takes the MailCode and MktgProgam information from the Prem table and uses that info (MailCode, MktgProgram) to pull from the main table called "Cust" Is this doable?
I've inherited a database that has a table with a large number of Yes/No fields. Apart from normalizing the database, I was wondering if the following was possible:
ContractTable has Yes/No Fields for rights granted for each order (television, dvd, internet etc).
Using a form, the user selects the specific right they'd like to run a report on - selecting this right from a drop-down menu, this is labelled "RightsCombo21" on the form.
When the button is clicked, the right selected is now the "Field" section of the query.
The SQL query right now looks like this (shows all rights sold for the territory):
WHERE ((([Contract Table].[Contract Cancelled])=False) AND (([Contract Table].[Contract End Date])>Now()) AND (([Contract Table].[Contract Type])="License Agreement") AND ((ContractIDAndCountry.CountryName)=[Forms]![TerritorySpecificRightsChooser]![TerritoryCombo7]));
I'd like to add something to this WHERE statement:
AND (([Contract Table].RightsCombo21)=True)
Not sure if it's a syntax issue, or I'm attempting something that isn't possible.
Is it possible to add a field (i.e., variable) to a query (or SQL programming) based on a form selection?For instance, if I use a form to allow an end-user to specify which fields they wish to include in the query (essentially creating a UI for the query builder), how would I go about creating the query/SQL or updating the query/SQL?
I have a form which lets the user enter a contract ID and then a combo box that has a list of reports which run against whichever ID is entered.
What I want to know if I put the ID's in a table if theres a way to allow the user to select multiple ID's in one go and run the report against them the range rather than 1 at time?
I'm thinking about utilising the check/tick boxes would this be possible? or another way?
The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.
The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.
I have a combo box (cmb1)to allow user to choose rollUp groups, after that, all areas within that group will be shown in a ListBox (Ls2). After user click the area(s), I will run a query to find out all projects in the selection. Then I want to show these projects in another listbox (LS3) for next step.
I have two questions: 1. after I choose area, the select query always pop out to show the results, which I do not want to see. 2. The LS3 does not get updated after LS2 selection. I actually have to run query again to get it updated and shown in LS3.
I attached a pic. to show what I want to do. Any suggestion is appreciated.
I've got a query; works great as written; but I need to be able to have users choose which month to pull data for. Right now; I pull the current month data using:
Between DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1) And DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date())+1,0)
Is there a way I can rewrite this but use a user-selectable date for the month? I'm thinking it could be done w/two queries; but not sure about just one....
I cant find this for the life of me... this is the second day trying to figure it out. Anyway enough crying:D
Question: Either using a SQL statement or query builder, how is it possible to make the field selection come from a form, ie a combo box, text box etc. or a variable?
Reason: Im trying to make a dynamic searching form which will allow the searching from customers via a few of many columns which reside in 4 different tables also. Using a cascading combo box system to eventually narrow down the correct one. The above is my first hurdle and I think once I get past this brick wall I will be back on my way.
I have a Main Form having a Sub Form on it, The Sub Form shows 3 rows of data or in simple words 3 records behind each page. I wish to select one of the three record and paste the data to a certain field. Lets say if the record have following fields: SNO ROLL NO EXPIRY i wish to select this record by mouse and paste the ROLL NO field data to another field on the main form called APPROVED ROLL NO.
Is there a way to take a form, select the fields that you want to display on a template(I created the template)? Then the fields that aren't selected grey/disable them? In other words. We perform several tests, ie. test 2006.01 and 2006.02 etc. Each test is based on 1 table. So instead of having to go in each time a new test is needed, can I create a form that has selectable fields(checkboxes), and once I say ok it opens the "new" template it will have the fields that need to be on that test then grey out the ones that aren't going to be used this time around? Sort of new to this....
I'm sure this is easy but my name tells the story. Can someone lead me in the correct direction. I have a form tied to a table with three columns Employee # Employee Name Employee Title
What I would like to do is have Employee # as a combo box. When an employee # is selected in the combo box the Employee Name and Employee Title would automatically update with the corresponding information on the table. Thanks
I have a form that records quotation history for each customer in a data sheet format, which show previous quotes done with a quotation number. I also have a quote entry form to give use the unique quote number for each record. This is the form we also use to update and info from our reps.
Can I just use the history click quote number 12345 which closes the history form and opens up the quote update form for that record.
I have two drop-downs on a form along with a child form that shows data based on a query. If both drop downs have selections, say date and dept. then the query would change and the child would show the data - that works fine, but what if one of the drop downs didn't have a value selected, as in i select a date but just want all departments so select noting from the second dd - how would i write the query to reflect this optional selection?
I'm new at Access 03. I have a combobox that is sourced by a table, Rowsource property is:
SELECT Classes.TableID, Classes.ClassID FROM Classes;
The name of my combobox is "ClassCombo".
I'm trying to generate a report based on my combobox selection, but I can't reference the value of the selection. The query tied to my report has the following SQL:
SELECT ClassesForInstructors.ClassID, Instructors.InstructorID, Instructors.FirstName, Instructors.LastName FROM Instructors INNER JOIN ClassesForInstructors ON Instructors.InstructorID = ClassesForInstructors.InstructorID WHERE (((ClassesForInstructors.ClassID)="[Forms]![School]![ClassCombo]"));
I'm trying to grab the "ClassCombo" value as input to my query, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
I have searched the forum and just can't find an answer. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a main form with a combo box that links to a table called tblSTC. There are however hundreds of records to choose from. To make the serach more simple for the user there is a button next to the combo called 'Search', When the user presses this a new form pops up with a text box and a list box (the list box contains all records in tblSTC). As the user starts to enter text into the textbox an AfterUpdate event limits the records displayed in the list box to match the criteria of what has been entered in the text box.
When the user identifies the entry he/she wants to select from the list box, I want the functionality of being able to double click the entry, the popup form close and the selection populated in the combo box.
I know that this is probably just simple code using the List Box double click event. I am however unsure how to go about it. Do I need to use some kind of Insert statement??
Hi, I am trying to find code that will let me put a command button on a search form. When it is clicked I want the command filter by selection to filter the records. Basically copying the command when you click the button on the toolbar :rolleyes:
I am trying to create a form where the user can select which group of data they want (records complete, records due, etc) and also how they want the report sorted (project name, due date, etc.)
I created an option group for the record selection part with a variable named myFilter being equal to the required filter (i.e. myFilter = "(([Assessment Details].[Completion Date]) <= Now())")
I then created a combo box for the record sort part with a variable named myOrder being equal to the required sort (i.e. myOrder = " ORDER BY [Project Description].Deadline")
Finally I created a variable named myCriteria which is equal to myFilter & myOrder. Then I try to open the report with DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , myCriteria.
Now, when I run the form and try to get the report, I get the following error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '((([Assessment Details].[Completion Date]) <= Now()) ORDER BY [Project Description].Deadline)'.
Is there any way to have the user be able to select the sort order and have it pass to the report?
I am trying to produce a query that will search for multiple records by job id entered into a text box eg 17656,18768,15679.
The example i have found uses the (LIKE '*value*') so if i type in part of a job id (176) it will display all records starting with 176. I would like to enter specific job id numbers seperated by a , and only display these
so i have two listboxes that have the values i want for the query parameters. I slightly modified one code i found so that i can query using one of them, however i cannot figure out how to get the second listbox to put criteria into another field. The working code i'm using is:
Private Sub Command_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command_Click
On Error GoTo Err_Handler Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
For Each varItem In Me.PartyBox.ItemsSelected strCriteria = strCriteria & "counterparties.counterparty =" & Chr(34) & Me.PartyBox.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & " Or " Next varItem
Err_Handler: If Err.Number = 5 Then MsgBox "Must Make A Selection First", , "Make A Selection First" Exit Sub Else MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description Resume Exit_Handler End If
Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "combqry" DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
I have a query that runs info selected from safety visits. I have made a form with an unbound combobox that selects the supervisors name and after the name is selected, I have a button to run the query. When a name is selected, the query comes up blank. When I do not select the name, the query is populated.
My criteria on the query is [forms]![personnel]![combo9]
Combo9 is the unbound dropdown menu with the supervisors name that is taken from a table of names.
