Can anyone tell me how you set a default value in a combobox? In my rowsource field I'm working with the values "Original";"Copy", and I just want the default to be "Original", so the user doesn't have to open up the combo everytime to choose one or the other... only if they need to change it to "copy". Hope that makes sense. anyone know? thanks!
View RepliesHello Everyone,
I wanted to know how I can set a default value into the combo box. The value I type in the Default value box doesn't seem to work.
Here's what i want to accomplish.
My default value should be my computer user id
=Environ("UserName")
How can I do this?
Thanks,
i have a combo box from a table with id(autonumber) and status(option 1, 2 and 3) as the col names. I want the default value to equal option 1 and when you load the form this default value be displayed in the combobox. I do not want the form to be loaded and set the value again if option 2 and 3 have been selected from a previous session. I have tried something like:
= [tblStatus] in default value field
but the combobox is still blank
i have 2 tables (clients, frequencies) where in table "clients" i have a column to store ID of "frequencies" table (id, description).
in my form "FClient" i display data stored in table "clients" and i have a combobox that should display the "frequencies" descriptions, but with a frequency selected by default...in fact the one that has its ID stored in table "clients". i'm able to display all frequencies descriptions but i don't know how to easily select and then display, as default, the frequency stored in table "client"
(I'm upgrading an old database)
I have a combobox who lists te values of a table.
In that table are say: 5 records filled with a,b,c,d,e.
In my form i have a combobox who is default filled with a blank field, but i can select a,b,c,d or e.
If i select nothing in the combobox, the value has to be set at "0"
But i cannot add "0" as a value in de table of the dropdownlist.
if i can get the value default for "0" i'm happy, but if i can display the "0" as default in the combobox, i'm very happy.
how I can set multiple default values in a ComboBox in a form. The ComboBox is based on a table and my main table also uses the ComboBox.
Example:
Main table has a column "Brands". The ComboBox is based on another table which includes the following items (and thus the ComboBox also shows them):
- CocaCola
- Fanta
- Sprite
The form has the same ComboBox which is linked to the main table.
Now, if a user creates a new form entry, all ComboBox items should be preselected (checked). It does work with one item over the standard "Default" property.
Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate()
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable"
Else
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"

How would I modify multiple comboboxes in subforms at the same time. For example.. In main form ComboboxA user selects 1992, Combobox1 in subform1 is also changed to 1992, as well as Combobox2 in subform 2.
Whats the best way to do this?
I have 2 comboboxes, the first one is called "activity", whereby I have 3 options to choose from, and the second is called "level".
When I click an "activity", for example Drawings, I want the "level" combobox to list a unique set of options for that category. and if I click on a different "activity" for example Planning, I want the "level" combobox to show a completely different set of options.
If anyone can give me any help on how to do this then I would be very grateful!!
Thanks

I've tried searching the forums and haven't found quite what i'm looking for. I would like to be able to change the source for a combobox based on another combobox. The simplest way i can summarize that is i want to be able to choose A or B, depending on my choice i want another combobox to display all the values that A or B can have.
Thanks

I'm not sure I worded that very well. :(
Hey all,
I've read some tutorials on this sort of thing, but I can't seem to piece it all together to achieve what I want.
I have a table Products that contains the fields Product, Size and Brand. I also have a form, frmProducts, that has a combobox linked to each of the fields in the Products table. I want to be able to select a product from the first combobox, tab to the Brand combobox and have only those brands associated with the product already selected.
This is how I think it should work:
1.ComboBox1 selects productA
2.ComboBox2 takes its options from a query that searches Products table for all instances of productA and displays all available brands. brandA is selected.
3.ComboBox3 get its options from another query that searches for all instances of productA that also have brandA and displays all available sizes.
What I'm having trouble with in particular is passing the data between queries. For example, I can't figure out how to tell the query to search for all instances of productA when its defined by the first combobox. Do I have to store it as a variable somewhere?
I hope I've been clear.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a billing date on my form.
Each billing date should be on the 15th of any month (1/15 or 2/15 or 3/15, etc…)
Is there a way to default a day to the 15th and then make the user enter month and year?
Or if there is no way to default the date to the 15th, may be there is somehow I can check to see if day that user entered = 15th?
