Synchronizing Combo Box
Mar 20, 2006
How do I make the name appearing in my combo box to change to match the name displayed when the record navigation buttons are evoked. Currently, when I use the navigation button, the form scrolls to the next record, but the name in the combo box does not change to match the new record?

hello. can anyone help me with replica conflicts?
i need to work with 10 replicas and synchronize with a master, but anyone can make changes and modify the records on the other replicas. is there a solution for that? why access doesn't recognize the changes as a conflict?
Thank you all.

Hi,
I'm a student learning how to use Access for my class project (Information Technology in a Global Society), and I chose to work with databases (even though, frankly, I'm technologically challenged). I've already finished making a very elementary database (tables, form, and a macro or two), but I was wondering if there's any possible way to synchronize the material in each table in such a way that changing the information in one would automatically update information in the other.
(I have one main table, and several other sub-ones with the exact same information but only parts of the main table. By this, I mean I created a main table with every student's Extended Essay topics, along with their supervisor as another field. Each supervisor oversees an essay for several students, so I created sub tables for each supervisor with the information of only their students.) What I'd like to know is if I can keep one main table with every supervisor's information and separate tables for each supervisor -- while, at the same time, having the main table update with the information that's added to the sub-tables by the supervisors.
I considered using Relationships, but after going through the threads here concerning relationship issues...I got even more confused.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
<3, Patti

Hi, Could anyone please help me!
I am trying to create a sub-form which achieves the following.
When you select a vendor from a combo-box, only the software that is manufactured by that vendor appears in a data-sheet form view.
I have tried to create a secondary form which shows all the software and saved this. And then created another main form which has a combo-box for listing and selecting a software vendor. I have then dragged the secondary form into an area of the main form. Now i am just trying to figure out how to synchronize the two forms so that when you select a vendor, only software manufactured by the vendor is shown.

I have a database that is replicated and in my attempt to synchronize a message keeps popping up "Synchronization between replicas..... and ....... failed. The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
The problem is I don't know what field in what form or in which replica this is referring to. Please help!!!!

We have multiple users using the same database as local copies on each of their PC's. they are entering information in specifically assigned areas and no one is overlapping in their work areas. The users then synchronize to a master database that is on the network to transfer their info.
When synchronizing we are beginning to conflict errors, and the message is hard to decipher. Below is an example:
"Update/Delete conflict: Another replica also updated this record. This record lost the conflict. Either resubmit your update or delete the conflict record."
It then shows two columns. Column 1 has the option to "Keep exisiting data" an dcolumn two has the option to "Override with conflicting data".
Technically, when synchronization happens, data of the user who is synchronizing overrides existing data in the master database in the same record(s). In that spirit, what is the 'existing' and 'conflicting' data referred to in the message?

Hi There,
I want to synchronize 2 comboboxes (actually 3, but let's start with 2)
On a form I have 2 comboboxes:
- CompanyType (FK fkCompanyTypeID in table Contacts)
- Category (FK fkCompanyCategoryID in table Contacts)
Let's say we have companytype CT1 until CT10.
For CT1, CT2 & CT3 I want to choose a catagory, so the combobox must be 'enabled'.
For CT4 until CT10 the Catagory combobox must be disabled, so that I cannot choose a category value.
Actually I want to choose 2 catgories (2 comboboxes) for CT1 until CT3.
But I think that an explanation for the example above is sufficient for me.
Both comboboxes are filled by a Select Query, and the values are filled in a separate table. (Table CompanyType (PK pkCompanyTypeID) & Table CompanyCategory (PK pkCompanyCategoryID)).
Can someone please help me on this issue? :confused:
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Greets,
Quinten

This is very bad. We're losing data changes when we run a synchronize on an Access database.
A client wanted to use replication so he could have several people using the same database and then update everyone's changes. (It turns out that he's not used that feature.)
The client was unable to get the replica to work on his machine, so he uses the master version.
Instead, we've used replication to allow me to make changes in the database structure while he makes changes in the data. (Obviously, it would have been better to split the database in two parts, but it's too late for that now.)
Here's my process when I need to update his copy:
1. Synchronize between my master and replica.
2. Copy master to CD-R. (We're not on a network.)
3. Synchronize between client's master and replica.
4. Send a copy of master to client.
5. Open my new version of master on the client's computer and synchronize with his replica copy.
When we do that many of his recent changes disappear.
Why is that? They don't even show up as conflicts.
What are we doing wrong? Are we totally abusing the concept of replication or what??
I'm stumped. I appreciate any suggestions or thoughts.

I have a form with a text box from a table (cus. ID) and when I input that cus.ID into that text box I would like for that data to be stored in the appropriate table (customer) and also in the bridge table (customer purchases). Is there any way to input the data once into a textbox on the form and have it recorded into two different tables? Please let me know. Thanks

I am developing a small database for use in a multi-user environment: I have split the tables off and am testing with two copies of the front-end on different machines. All seems to work well except on one form.
On this form, the value of a bound control (exposed as a number of radio buttons) is used to make related controls on the form visible or invisible. I use the AfterUpdate event to trigger appropriate VBA code to accomplish this; it works well.
However if two users have the same form open at the same record (unlikely, but not impossible), and User A changes the value of the control via the radio buttons, Access will eventually propagate the change to User B's copy of the form but the AfterUpdate event will not be triggered and the form becomes inconsistent. I understand that events are only triggered when a user makes a change to a control; how can I be alerted when Access makes a change?

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 have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done
2)If it can be done, how can I do it?

Hi everyone,
I have two combo boxes on the same form bound to a table. I want the contents of the next combo box to change based on the previous combo selection e.g
cboContinent cboCountry
Africa Zambia
Africa Congo
Africa South africa
Europe England
Europe Holland
If I choose Africa in cboContinent, I want to see only Zambia, South Africa and Congo under cboCountry and if I choose Europe I want to see only England and Holland
Thanks

I have a Suppliers database which contains a form that will allow me to place orders with Suppliers.The Main form has a combo box that allows me to select the supplier. The combo box is called SupplierID with the following:
Row source: SELECT Suppliers.SupplierID, Suppliers.CompanyName FROM Suppliers ORDER BY Suppliers.CompanyName;
The subform is called Stock Subform witha combo box called ProductID with the following:
Row source: SELECT DISTINCT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Products.Discontinued FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID=Products.SupplierID WHERE (((Products.Discontinued)=0)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName;
Event Procedure - AfterUpdate: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_AfterUpdate
Dim strFilter As String
' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "ProductID = " & Me!ProductID
[code]..
The Link fields are done on the Purchase Order ID (PONoID).What I want to achieve is to select the supplier from the combo box (SupplierID) on the main form and then the combo box (ProductID) on the subform to filter to only show products directly supplied by the Supplier selected on the Main Form.

I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237"
If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.

I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do:
1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag")
2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool")
3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.

Let's assume we have 3 tables:
Order_Category (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type_Name) with 2 records:
1, Minor
2, Major
Order_Type (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type) with 4 records:
1, Book
1, Pencil
2, Car
2, House
Orders (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type, value) with 2 records:
1, NULL, NULL
1, NULL, NULL
2, NULL, NULL
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID.
2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type
FROM Order_Type
INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID
WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).

Here's the deal:
I'm an extreme newbie, I do not know access very well, nor do I know VBA, I do know PHP.
I have a for in access that has 2 user input fields, one for prodid one for shipid. I have a combo box that upon entering data into the previous 2 fields, it does a query against an MsSQL database looking for a record that has both. In any case there will only be 2 outcomes, either 1 record, or null. I would like to have that same combo box automatically use the result as it's value so that users don't have to check the box, because they won't, and so that the rest of my VBA will be able to function properly.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks.

Thanks in advance for your help.
I would like to set up rules/constraints such that the value selected in combo box A determines the available values in combo box B. For example, "Combo box A" is bound to the [PartnerType] field and "Combo box B" is bound to the [PartnerRole] field. Let's say that the two choices in Combo Box A are "LLC", "LP", and "Corporation". There are 5 possible choices in Combo Box B: "X", "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U". If a user selects "LP" in Combo Box A, I would like Combo Box B to only show choices "X" and "Y". And if a user selects "LLC", only choices "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U".
Similarly, I would like to set this up so that Combo Box B is not initially visible--it becomes visible when a user selects "LLC" or "LP". If a user selected "Corporation", Combo Box B would remain hidden.

I have seen a few articles here and there on using a combo box to filter records in a sub-form and to filter records in another combo box, but I am not getting anywhere. I hope someone can belp
Exercise 1
For this exercise, I have the following tables:
tblClients containing client names
tblProjects containing some project details
I want to set up a simple form, so that the user can select a client name from a combo box on the main form which filters the project detail records in the Projects sub-form.
Once the user enters project details, I want this info as well as the selected ClientID to be fed back to tblProjects.
Exercise 2
I have the following tables:
tblProjects as above
tblWorkstream containiig names of workstreams and some other details.
Every project has one or more workstreams
I have a form where users will enter hours worked on each workstream. They will first select Project from a combo box on the main form. This should then filter records to be displayed in the Workstream Combo box, before they can then enter hours.
Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of this better.
Thanks in advance.
ps. I am a novice, so I'm hoping to do the above using default MS stuff, not with complex programming!!!
Thanks

I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.

I want to be able to auto fill some fields on a form based on the combo box selection.
Has anyone done this before and can it be done.

I'm trying to get one combo box control what tables are available from another combo box. Example, combo box (a) includes numbers 1-5. Selecting (1) makes the data in combo box (b) specific to that selection. Selecting (2) makes the data in combo box (b) something different (pulls data from a different table).
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

I have created a database that is used to track various programs that our organisation runs, and keeps a record of which Division the program is in.
at the moment I have a main form which has a combo box that lists Divisions, then I have a subform that has a combo box on it that lists the purchasers.
what I would like to do, is to have the Purchasers list update when a Division is selected in that main form, as depending on which Division is chosen the contents of the Purchasers list changes drastically.
Is anyone able to offer some assistance?
