Subform Combobox To Only List Specific Values
May 22, 2014
I have an Employee's Development Objective main form , which has a subform that contains a combobox that lists all 'Job Titles' and 'Job Objectives' within the company, say such as:
Code:
IT Manager, Create Spreadsheets
IT Manager, Manage Staff
SQL DBA, Create Databases
SQL DBA, Create Spreadsheets
Managing Director, Manage Finance
Managing Director, Manage Staff
How do I get the subform combo box to ONLY display the Job Titles and Job Objectives specific to the Employees known Job Title? The combobox Row Source is presently:
Code:
SELECT qryJobObjectiveDetails.jobObjID, qryJobObjectiveDetails.jobTitle, qryJobObjectiveDetails.objective
FROM qryJobObjectiveDetails
ORDER BY [jobTitle], [objective];
The main form has a jobID number specific to the Employees job title.

Hi,
I have a table of records, with one field of the records a combobox populated by a select query based onanother table.
My problem ism that it doesn't seem to recognise any of the values as on the list, though deleting one character and then replacing it results in the value being accepted with no problems.
This is a database I have inherited (Cheers predecessor!), the table is populated with a few thousand records and scrolling through this table results in an error message on this field for every record and is making displaying data on this form a nightmare! Anyone know of the cause or of a quick fix?
I don't know the history of this table unfortunately.
Cheers in advance
John

I have a combo box which gets its values from sql server using a query which is called "get_query_reason", which works fine. Now I want to update combo box values based on a user selection, st string. Have written the code, but does not work:
Dim qDef As QueryDef
Dim Query As String
Dim st As String
Dim rs As Recordset
st = "SOV"
Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_query_reason")
[Code] ....

The forms in the code are subforms on a TabControl on a main form.
I have this code which needs to add together only the areas [Area] of records with a FloorNumber field value of 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.
At the moment the code works for one entry of 1 in the form frmRoomDetails. I'm guessing i need For Next or something like that but i don't know and also unsure of how to code it.
Private Sub FloorNumber_AfterUpdate()
If [Forms]![frmSiteDetails]![frmRoomDetails].[Form]![FloorNumber] = 1 Then
[Forms]![frmSiteDetails]![frmFloorsDetails].[Form]![Text8].Value = [Forms]![frmSiteDetails]![frmRoomDetails].[Form]![Area]
End If
End Sub

I have a data base with names, email IDs, phone numbers of 5 types(example quality, security, IT,finance etc) of person from ten different project teams. I created a basic form for the end user to enter values and created fields for each of the person's name, email ID etc based on the personal type( liek quality, IT, finance etc) on each team. The background table contains records of almost 200 people now.
All of these people will be trained for one task and some will be trained for multiple tasks. I know how to make the combo box allow multiple values/selections but, i cannot list out all 200 personal names in the combobox's rowsource/value list. Is it possible to combine all different name fields and list out all personal(of one team), so that the end user can just select multiple names for that team who have been trained and so on. i need to set the rowsource of the combobox to the values of all personal from one team so the team leader can just go select who has been trained and who has not.

So I have a combobox in a form that lists the values of a field in a table. The rowsource is this:
Code:
SELECT [Estes Training Modules].[Training Module], [Estes Training Modules].[Period] FROM [Estes Training Modules] ORDER BY [Period];
The problem is that ALL values on that field show up, including repeated values. I only need each different value to show up once. How can I do that?
For example, what I get in the combobox is: Annual, 2-Year, Annual, Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...
What I need is: Annual, 2-Year, 3-Year,...

Hi to all,
I developed a database where I keep all the problems that I face and their solutions along with its category.
Now I want to have a form that when I choose each category, I should have all its records.
I heard that I should implement this by using a subform but I couldn't manage. With a search at the topics I've seen that I should use a macro but I don't know how to implement it.
Possibly after the lookup field I should have an After Update function but how can I connect it with the subform?
ex. at category "hardware: floppy" i have 2 records and i want to see only these, and when i choose category "hardware: hard disk" to have other 5 records of that category
Help plz?

I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.

I have an access form that needs filling in daily by various people.
It's to document changes to a website and I currently have a combobox box set up for the various sections to state whether they are AMENDS, REVERTS or NO CHANGE.
I have set conditional formatting to then highlight these sections but am also trying to get it to work so that if the user chooses "NO CHANGE" then the data for that field copies over from the previous record.
I have set this up in the AfterUpdate code for the combobox, but nothing is happening, not even an error....
Code:
Private Sub COMBOBOX1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.COMBOBOX1 = 3 Then
Me.[FIELD_TO_CHANGE] = DLookup("[FIELD_TO_CHANGE]", "tb_TABLE", "[ID]=Forms![form_FORM]![ID]-1")
End If
End Sub
(Where 3 is the value of NO CHANGE in the combobox, and FIELD_TO_CHANGE, tb_TABLE and form_FORM being the names of the various elements)...

I have a Table with 57 fields. I would like to display this table in a form as a subform, but only certain fields depending on what selection is made in a combo box.
For instance, if the user selects "Missing Information" in the Combo Box, then the form will show a few standard fields such as ID, Market, Sales Manager, and then some specific ones such as date missing information requested and date missing information received.
If the user selects another option, again the standard fields will remain plus a few different ones.
I have done much searching on this and feel like I am so close but so far. I have looked into controlling the record source of the subform, columhidden =false and a multitude of others. All of which may or in fact probably do work in this situation but I can't seem to put it all together.

Is it possible to alter the values displayed in a combo-box dropdown at run time. I tried using the following bit of code in a listbox's 'After Update' event , but it does not alter the combo-box's value list.
dim strSponProjStatus as string
dim StrNonSponProjStatus as string
strSponProjStatus = "Seed ; Growth; Consolidation; Phase Out; Closed"
StrNonSponProjStatus = "Under Nego;Funded;Part Funded;Suspended;Unfunded"
Me.cboProjectStatus.RowSourceType = "valuelist"
If Me.cboFundingSource = "Sponsorship-ADP" Then
Me.cboProjectStatus.RowSource = strSponProjStatus
Else
Me.cboProjectStatus.RowSource = StrNonSponProjStatus
End If
Any suggestions as to why this is not working?
Cheers :eek:

(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.

Hi guys,
I've tried searching all the threads for an answer to my problem and I can't seem to find it....
Ok I know this should be simple...
I know to use Distinct and DistinctRow to only show unique records in a combobox but all I want to do is that once a selection is chosen in the combobox to add a record to a subform, it can't be selected again.
I know in some cases you do, e.g. items on an invoice sometimes need to be entered more than once, but I'm listing Skills for Employees and I only want a user to enter a Skill once per Employee (although Employees can have many Skills, I just don't want a User to accidentally put the same Skill in twice or more per Employee...)...
What's the best optimized way of achieving this?
Sorry for my newbiness.

I would like to know how to get this to work (create a question with a term like this: IIF([Forms]![frmMaskin]![cmbAvd]="All";Like "*";[Forms]![frmMaskin]![cmbAvd])). When I do this, I se nothing. Please give me some advice.

So I have a textbox on a form that contain values. I want to convert it to a ComboBox. Since a lot of these values are the same in a lot of records (for example, "Inventor"), I want the entered values to appear in the ComboBox dropdown so they can just be selected instead of typed in. I converted the textbox to a Combobox by right-clicking on the textbox => Change To => ComboBox. It changed successfully, but I want it to list the values in the dropdown, but it doesn't.
