Sorting List Box
Nov 2, 2006
Currently I am creating a form in Access 2003. I have a table that I has 7 column headings, events, location, date, time notes, classs, and region. I need to know how to sort these columns by clicking on a button that will be assigned to that column or by clicking the column header? This needs to be able to sort it in ascending order based on any one of the columns? An example of this would be similar to an e-mail account, where you can either click on the subject header to reorder based on the subject, or click on the date header to reorder based on the date.

Ok Second issue: I have a list of companies that each offer 5 different programs. Eash Listing in the query (My report is built on this) has both a column for the definition and a colum with a number idenitfying the amount of people in the program.
What I need is to HIRE someone, but maybe I can do this:
I want to list each company and all 5 programs associated with that company; easy and its done.
Then I want to have a summary at the bottom of the report that goes to each company, takes the 5 programs for maybe 1, maybe 3 or maybe 92 companies, and lists them in order. Order = the top 5 programs for all the different companies. See and it gets complicated because sometimes, a program can be the largest for every company in the report, and then the second program for each company is different for each each company. So I need to arrange the programs in an order. then sort them by size, and them only show the top 5.
PLEASE, if you got through this far of my irrational and illogical brain then maybe you can help
Thanks Sean

I have a database with a form. Form has a list Box. I write a code for sorting data in list Box and it is worked but sorting in one of the column in list box does not work.I think the reason of it that this column is a combo box with multiple values.
The file of database is in attachment.

Ok, I am a noob at reports and did a search on this. My searching DID NOT HELP ME! I thought I would make that clear :D Maybe someone can tell me what to look at for this issue.
I need to take one report, allow the users to easily use a dropdown or listbox on a form to Sort and Group many fields of data. To recap: The user will click on name in the list and it will sort report by name. Also I need them to be able to select up to three sort criterias.
EX: Sort by Name then LastName then Company
Please guide me to the answer. Thanks.

I have a BackUp and Restrore from BackUp procedure in my my database.
I can backup to a spreadsheet and the spreadsheets are renamed to include the date of the backup.
When I restore from the backup an unbound combo is populated
Code : Set SourceFolder = FSO.GetFolder("c:GPandDetectionDogTrainingLogBackUp")
This all works, the only issue being, is that I want the most recent backup to be at the top of the list, at the the moment its at the bottom.
is there a way of implementing a sort order, bearing in mind that its an unbound combobox.

Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)

In my access form I provide the user a list of locations from various countries in a listbox . But the list is too long so I provide him a combobox for selecting a country. Selecting the country should update the listbox showing only the locations in that specific country.
So my SELECT from the listbox must cover the unselected state and show all entries and when a country is selected it must narrow the selection.
I tried to get this happen with the following SELECT statement containing a variable. Choosing a country in the Combobox results in a change of the variable and in a requery. This works after the first country is selected and for each country change, but the initial list is empty.
VBA in the loadform
'Application.TempVars.Add "varcountryselect", "*"
SELECT in the listbox "lstlocationsperproject"
SELECT tbllocations.locationID, tbllocations.country, tbllocations.localstreet, tbllocations.localcity FROM tbllocations WHERE ((tbllocations.country) Like [TempVar]![varcountryselect]);
VBA in the combobox
Application.TempVars("varcountryselect") = [Form]![kombcountryselect].Column(0)
Me.lstlocationsperproject.Requery
The values in [kombcountryselect].Column(0) are texts like "SPAIN", "MEXICO", etc.
Any hints, how I have to use the * for getting the complete list on the initial view ?

Hi Everyone,
Could anyone tell me how I sort a field so it sorts by the surname, not the first name? It's one field with 2 names seperated by a space, i.e. George Michael.
Many thanks for any help.

I am doing a database containing names, dates of birth, dates of death etc of my ancestors. Does anyone know the best way of displaying it so I can sort them out by age of death? For example, I want to see someone for example who died aged 70 years and 6 months to be a place above someone who died aged 70 years and 4 months.

In Quebec there are a lot of place names beginning with "Saint-" or "Sainte-".
When I do an ascending sort on the table itself, these type of names don't seem to follow the expected pattern.
For the names Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie I should see this order:
Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie, Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse.
Instead, I get Sainte-Marthe, Saint-Ephrem, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Eulalie.
The names are spelled exactly as I have them in the table with hyphens and diacritic marks.
Any ideas why there seems to be a problem sorting "Saint-" from "Sainte-?

Yet another question! When I run the report, it gives me the results in alphabetical order (i.e. April August, etc) instead of monthly order... Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi All a newbie here so any help will be appreciated,
sorry for the long post but trying to give you all the information you might need.
I wrote a basic access database for my Church to aid in a paperwork audit for a charity food drop which we do monthly to give free food to the needy.
But each month it gets harder to find out who was in line first so I thought with all your help we may be able to randomize the names each month in a different order as to avoid confusion and also avoid people waiting in line as they turn up at 5am and we don't start until 9am.
So if this will work in access they can all come for 9am
I don't mind creating a new database and adding the additional information, if that's what it would take.
My Background I have created basic databases from scratch not using wizards, But I don't know much about code or how to implement it so any help in where code goes it would be very much appreciated.
Database details (Microsoft Access 2002 version)
Table Name = details
Field name = ID (auto-generated)
Field name = FirstName (text)
Field name = Surname (text)
If possible it would be nice to keep a record of the randomized lists (in the database somewhere ?) each month in case anyone wants to see it or disputes the lists, where I can just create a report to show the details.
There will be approximately 90 to 125 names.
Thank you in advance for all your help in this matter

I have created my tables and form and am now trying to run reports to organize the data. I have figured out how to group the individuals by group and treatment, but can't figure out how exclude individuals from the final list if they are already in another. As background, some of the individuals are eventually excluded from the experiment, though I keep the initial data. When the exclude individual checkbox is checked ("True" on the report) I do not want the individual to be listed in the "False" list, even though there are entries for that individual when that checkbox wasn't checked (when it was "True"). This is so I can get an idea of the current totals in each group.
Implant Period
>Treatment
>>Exclude individual?
>>>Individual ID
I feel like this should be a fairly simple task, but I cannot figure it out... Maybe there is coding to exclude individuals from the "False" list if they are already listed in the "True" list?

Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items
[Code] .....

I have created listbox with one column (contains one column only), now i would like to display all the characters of list item (want scroll bar to listbox).
How do i display all text of list item, I have already fixed Column Widths to max length (22";0.1"). However when scrolling to right, it is going to next blank column of list box, which is created only to change Column Widths property.

I'm looking to move an excel sheet to access because the row counts are too much.The main thing it does is compare the supplied data against a list I hold in the sheet.There are not duplicate records, however..Some data is a direct lookup for a full match, but much of it is a count to see how many records contain a certain string.
I have 500 keywords which have a countif function in using wildcards.I need to create a query/report which will return a list of records from the original list which contains each keyword featured and how many times it features.I was going to do it in PHPmysql but the time it took to parse a million records for every keyword made it pointless.
eg:
keywords:
look
billy
magic
list:
"have a look and see"
"spanish dave"
"who is billy brag"
"looky looky I go hooky"
"who's the man from argentina"
"could it be magic now"
my spreadsheet would return a 1 next to ""billy" and "magic" and would put a 2 next to "look".
the sheet has the keyword in each row and next to the column:
=COUNTIF(list,CONCATENATE("*@",B13))
where "list" is the external data.

I created a form and created on it a list box which is a query that grabs certain number of fields from different tables. I would like the user to select from this list box of a choice and then store their selection into a table.This list box has three fields, but it needs to store the id rather than the item, the user would see the name of the item but the id of the item would be store into another table, called bid. It store all these three fields when a user selection one of the item from the list.

I have been trying to solve this Access problem for a couple of weeks. I have 2 Access 2002 files where I import info from a Paradox DB. I have been doing this for 12 years. I just bought a new laptop and transferred the programs over (I didn't reinstall because I don't have a floppy drive). Paradox files have a default of an International sort order.
One of my 2 Access files is now requiring an Ascii sort order. The Paradox forum says that something in the Access file is asking for the Ascii sort sequence. I have to keep bouncing back and forth in the Regedit changing the sort order from International to Ascii and back again to use the 2 files.
Do you know how I can make the 1 Access file ask for the International sort order?

i have a simple datsbase with 2 fields - drawing number and description.
the drawing numbers are in the formatt STD123 e.t.c.
When I try to sort numerically the order ends up as
STD1
STD10
STD11
STD100
STD101..........
How do I get it to list in true numeric order in report and table view i.e.
STD1
STD2
STD3.......... Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Access is VERY limited. I've tried a search and don't understand about queries and such like. Even so I'd have thought that even the most basic database programmes would be able to handle something as simple as an alpha/numeric sort list....seems not!!!!!

How can I sort string addresses so as to get the correct number order? I know that strings sort on each character, which causes the problem. I have tried some things (with VAL and Len), but was not completely successful. I do not want to enter an address number as 0630, when I want 630.
Why does this not work:IIf(Len(Str(Val([address]))=3),"0" & [address],[address])? Address has 3 and 4 numbers only.
