Ok, here's my dilemna. I'm new to Access and have been struggling to learn this all day long.
I have mastered how to syncrhonize 2 combo boxes, but am having trouble for 3. I would like to do it using Events/VB Code (I guess that's what you'd call it)
Say I have a Car Manufacturer, Model, and am looking for a particular part in the database.
I want a form with combo boxes that has a list for "Manufacturer" (Pkey = ManufacturerID) which is related to "Model" (PKey = ModelID) which is related to "Part" (Pkey = PartID).
The first combo box takes info from the Manufacturer table and gives me some choices, I want to pick one and have it restrict it to the available Models for that Manufacturer.
Then I choose the model and the last combo box restricts me to parts available for that Manufacturer/Model.
Is there a way to do this with the "AfterUpdate()" event? Need more details, or anything? Please help, this is making me go insane.
HELP PLEASE. I'm fairly new to access and would like to synchronize three combo boxes. My table are; tblDepartments, tblDivisions, tblTitles, tblDeptDiv, and tblDivClass. The last two tables are junction tables because I have many to many relationships one department can be related to many divisions or a division to many departments and the same goes for divisions and titles. I can manage to synchronize two combo boxes.
I am new ussing access already with issues surprice no.I have four tables Section, Ducument, Description, Origin.I nees to Synchronize four Combo boxes, my first combo box code work fine
Private Sub cboSection_AfterUpdate() Me.cboDocument.RowSource = "SELECT DocumentName FROM" & _ " [Document] WHERE SectionID = " & Me.cboSection & _ " ORDER BY DocumentName" Me.cboDocument.Enabled = True End Sub
When I select a category from my first combo box the secon combo box get populated with the correct Data.But when I select the second box the third combo does not get populated with any data here is my code for the second combo box.
Private Sub cboDocument_AfterUpdate() Me.cboDescription.RowSource = "SELECT DescriptionName FROM" & _ " [Description] WHERE DocumentID = " & Me.cboDocument & _ " ORDER BY DescriptionName"
I've a form with a combo box "OrderNumber" (to allow the user to select the correct order) and a text box "Date" which displays the date of the order selected. The problem is that I don't know how to synchronize the boxes. I know the procedure to do it with two combo-boxes (cmboDate=Null & cboDate.Requery in the after update property of the cbo "Order Number"), but is it possible that when I change the order selected in the combo-box, the text box shows the correct date? Thanks for your help!
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change() Me.Requery Me.cboCourseName.Requery Me.Check178.Requery End Sub
Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!
I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D
Hi everyone, I have been making progress with customizing a MS Access program, but one major problem is that I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of values from only the parameter that is primary key. More specifically, the program is set up as follows: I have two tables in this program: One that is called "invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of these tables, there is one common parameter, which is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key, and I used the "relationships" function to tie this parameter to itself between the two tables. I was successful in setting up a list-box for the "Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box for another parameter that is supposed to display a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials. In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to take so that the database stores a list of people's initials. Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key. How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of different people's initials, or in other words how can I get all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the Design mode of Tables, including Display Control, Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column, but the outcome is that the only parameter that I get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which is Item Number. I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how to correct this. On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a specific date range so that I can limit each report to a specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well. Thanks.
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
I want to make a synchronize function in access. I have two methodes, and i dont know what is best, since i have no experinece with synchronize functions.
Its about meeting information.
An employee has a meeting. He creates his meeting in the database. This way his meeting id is reserved. The employee goes to a client. Takes his laptop with the program. Fills in the information. Goes back to his company. push the botton, and the files from his latop synchronize with the main database under the reserved meeting id.
The employee comes back: 6----1 6----2 6----3 7----1 7----2 7----3 8----1 8----2 8----3
MeetinID and Action ID are PK.
Now the question. I can also create a unique field for the action table. So that actionID and MeetingID wil be no long PK, just one field that identifies. But for the synchronize function, is it harder to program? Or does it make no difference? can you simpy add them ? or is it better to keep using the 2 pks.
Is it possible to synchronize to ALL replicas using a command button in one shot from the Design Master?? I've read various posts, and it doesn't sound like anybody has found a solution for this. Found solutions for doing it one at a time, but was wondering if anybody has found a way to synchronize to all replicas without any user interaction other than hitting a button.
I was wondering (once again :D) is there a way to synchronize splitted and replicated database programmatically from users front end when they close database? I've "Data" & "Interface" databases both in users pc and in server as well.
If this sounds a bit odd, please correct me? Is there a point add back end database to users pc as well or only front end database, which is linked to back end database tables in server?
I want code to synchronize 2 or more databases. The databases are the same, but in different media,like in mobile flash drive,backup drive and main system
I appologise but I am useless with Access but am trying to learn.
I have a datababse that we use to log calls onto, There are five members of our team and each member has thier own replica of the datababse. At the end of each day we have to re-sync our replicas to the design master.
It would be nice if we could put a button on the form we use to do the synchronization for us. Is this possible and how do you do it? bearing in mind that I am not too good with access so I need laymans terms.
I am getting the following error when Synchronizing Now for Replicated database. The total database size is only 22 megs (contains reports and forms). This just started happening recently, otherwise it was fine before. My machine is running WinXP Pro SP2 (with latest service pacs) on an AMD DualCore 3800 with 1gig RAM. Once you hit the OK it continues and competes successfully (at least it look OK). Any ideas what this could be or to eliminate it popping up? I run the database with minimum of programs at the same time.
Here are some background . My company got a access file in a network drive.The data entry simply open the file in the network drive.But once the data has increased (~400mb) sudddendly,all process slow down. Like search , using report etc.Is there any method to imporive the situation?Some guys suggest me to copy the data file to the desktop and sync them.Can it it work?IF works,how to do that?
I have created a query to simply bring up various parameters asking questions which then give back the results that are correct! i am wondering if it is possible so that when the parameter boxes display on the screen, for you to be able to select the answer from a combo box list (within the parameter box) instead of typing them in???
