Tables :: Display Names At ONLY Location Previously Selected
Jul 7, 2014
I am making a database, but lets say I have 12 locations and have say between 2-100 named people at each location.
I want to be able to link 2 databases together.
I can use lookup wizard to select either a location, but I also want access to display the names at ONLY the location previously selected (IE: Paul and Bert are in Brazil, Steve and Carl are in Cuba, I want once Brazil is selected only Paul and Bert to appear as options). I'm sure it's fairly basic but a having a little trouble with it, and not knowing the technical terms is making it hard to look up.
I'm trying to create a query that supplies a form with data. I want to pass a TempVar to the query that is selected a from previously opened form.The TempVar is setting correctly and I can see if this if I place a textbox (NewCID) on the form showing the TempVar. The problem I have is displaying on the records according to that TempVar. If I set the query manually, i.e. "|Test|" then records are displayed but if I use the TempVar, which also displays |Test| then no records are brought back.
think it's something do with the vertical bar and that fact the field I'm searching on is a memo field, both of which I've no control over. I also have to use the Like statement because of this.Here's the query that works...
SELECT * FROM dbo_ASSETS WHERE ASSET_CID Like "|Test|"
and the one that I want to use, that doesn't...
SELECT * FROM dbo_ASSETS WHERE ASSET_CID Like [TempVars]![tmpvarCID]
I've even tried referring to the textbox instead of the TempVar, i.e.
SELECT * FROM dbo_ASSETS WHERE ASSET_CID Like [Forms]![AssetsCID]![NewCID]
I have a folder with Access files, subfolders, and some .vbs files in it. It requires one person to navigate through a setup process. Once the setup is completed, they need to copy the folder and its contents to a location on a shared drive, which is unknown to me and will be chosen by the user at the site. There could be many sites.
It basically works like this:
Files are downloaded to C:Program Files.
A vbscript is run and extracts a folder directly to the C:Drive and opens it. I'll call it C:Test.
The user manually moves the BE file to a shared drive.
The user opens the FE file and is walked through using the Linked Table Manager.
The user then follows a series of forms to input data.
After this, the FE closes and another DB opens.
The second DB walks them through the Linked Table Manager and closes.
Option #1 At this point I would like to have a script and have it copy that folder, C:Test, and its contents, and have a dialog box open telling the user to paste it in a location where all users have access to.
Option #2 A script that will backup the folder and all its contents to a shared location selected by the user.
Either option will l allow others to navigate to that location, copy the folder, and paste the folder to their C: Drive.
With the OutputFile set to "" so the user can select the directory on where they want to store the exported template. I'm trying to figure out if I could get the file path and the file name and store it on a string so I could use it for something else.
I have created a from which consists of search boxes in the above and the table in the below.If we search for any in those search boxes then the results will be displayed at the bottom (The results will be displayed in the table which is located at the bottom of the page).I had done with the above part.
My Requirement : If I click on any of the row in the results table then is it possible to display only the selected row in a new form? If I search for a keyword MS in a search box and if it returns 40 results and if I click on any one of the result then the selected result should be opened in a new form.
I am posting this question again, as I think there was some miscommunication from my side. I sinccerely apologise.
Actually there are three fields on a form.
1. Combo Box : Label is Name 2. Text Box : Label is Code 3. Text Box : Label is Department.
These three fields are stored in the table.
I wants that when the form gets loaded, then in the combo box field all the names from the table should appear. When I select the particular name from the list and the focus is lost from the combo box then the two values from the table should show the corresponding text boxs.

Here is my problem. I have a table with a lot of columns. I want the user to be able to select which column he wants to display in a query/report, how do I do that? Is there some kind of way to do a command
SELECT [table].[like [user input]]
either in SQL or Query Design, so that a form would pop up and ask user for input, and then display column whose name corresponds to that input.
I need code for save dialog file ,and select the file from textbox and save it to the selected location.i have only this code and i dont know what else i can do with this because it just opens the save file dialog !
So what I've basically got here is a form with 4 combo boxes and a button that when clicked will filter the results of a table (which is a subform/subreport) based on the values inside the combo boxes. So the problem I have is that when I open up the form it displays a fully filled table but I just want to display the row names and a blank table until the filter button is pressed.
I'm this is a simple issue. I have a combo box which can have the following status's: Not Started, In Progress, Complete. Depending on the value of the combo box i want a different image to show. So if not started is selected i want the user to see a red box. If Complete is chosen, a green box will show. i can do this easily enough but my problem comes in when i go to the next record. The boxes just stay visible regardless of what option is displayed. What event is triggered when you go to the next form?? Form Open / Load doesnt seem to work. :mad: :confused:
I am trying to display a total based on 3 separate combo boxes in a form. there is a name with an associated number value using 2 fields. the values come from a linked value spreadsheet. the name field is "text" and the number is "number". the user selects their name and number using a combo box drop down window. this occurs 3 times in my form and i want to sum them in a 4th combo box. this is about how it should look, where "Total" happens automatically depending on the name selected.
I have a form with about 30 controls. I organized it carefully so that all the controls show on a single page. It actually looks really good. However, several of the controls allow multiple values. These appear as a check box showing up beside each item in the list from which these controls take their information. When I run a Filter by Form process, the form flawlessly pulls the data from the table that I'm seeking, and the check boxes are visible, both the ones with checks and without. In a few cases, in order to fit everything onto one page, I have most of the related list hidden, and use scroll bars. This works really well for data entry and for editing individual records.
Where it DOESN'T work like I want it to is in situations where the checked item(s) in the multi-value control don't show up in the box on the form without scrolling. In the table where these multi-value fields actually live, what shows up is just the code for each option, a simple numeral, with commas separating any multiple values. Is there a way to make my form show only the selected codes like in the table? My suspicion is that I'm going to be told no, that the best way to do this is to use a report and query.
I have created a from which consists of search boxes in the above and the table in the below.

My Requirement :

If I search for a keyword MS in a search box and if it returns 40 results and if I click on any one of the result then the selected result should be opened in a new form.
In Access 2010, if you have a form with a subform in datasheet view, and you move the focus away from the subform, how can you tell which record(s) on the subform are selected?
When the subform has the focus, the selected row is shown with a blue/grey tint. But as soon as the subform loses the focus, this disappears and all rows look identical.
Its an issue as I have 2 datasheet subforms on my main form, with the 2nd showing records related to the record selected in the 1st. But as soon as the 2nd subform receives the focus, it is impossible to see which record in subform 1 was selected.
I have tried conditional formatting, but that does not work.
I have a FE database with all the forms, reports, etc. and my BE DB with all the tables is in the same directory as the FE. My problem is when users are not in the office and opens the FE data base they get an error that the path to the linked tables are not available.
My question: Is there a way to make these FE links to the BE dynamic. I really don't want various FE with paths linked to the BE.
I have continuous form in Access 2010. I highlight selected record. Now I would like when user will select record, that record will display button to give ability user delete it. For not selected records button not visible and disable. How to display button only in selected record in continuous form?
I have created a Db in MS Access 2010 and under Options > Current Database I have done the following:
- Used drop down to select a form I want to display on opening - Unchecked display navigation pane - Unchecked allow full menus
This works how I want it to, perfectly. I then send it to a client who also has MS Access 2010 and when they open the file the form I have told it to open doesn't open, the navigation bar is displayed (with the form I want to open highlighted) and the full menus show but are locked.
What's going on? Is it some security setting the client has that isn't letting the opening procedure execute properly?
I have two tables that are related: BUCKETS & LOCATION
BUCKETS has these fields:ID (autonum) Type (type of bucket) Creation Date (when it was created) Operational (if it is operational or not (Yes/No). Location (Location of the bucket) Notes (notes)
LOCATIONS has these fields:LocationAutoID (Autonumber) LocationCity LocationID BucketsOnSite (can have multiple entries)
What I'd like to have done is for LOCATIONS table to be aware of how many different cities there are. So for instance, if there is multiple location entries for the cities of Vancouver and Toronto in there, I want the LocationID to first know how many Torontos there are and in LocationID to combine the LocationCity and a count (starting from 1) to that field.
So for example, if there are three toronto locations and two vancouver locations, LocationID would have TO-01, TO-02, T0-03 for the Toronto locations and VAN-01, VAN-02 for Vancouver locations.
At first I had the expression of [LocationCity] & "-" & [LocationAutoID] in the Expression field in the Field Properties but I quickly realized that it wouldn't count the amount of cities but just add the autonumber and the city (which kind of works, but not ideally).
I have a question that I have a Microsoft Access database (.accdb) front-end/backend split and I want to give the database to my company client. As we have the different path for the backend/frontend linked. I want some code that will popup if the database location is not found and popup with the dialog so the user then select the backend and it would be ready and there is no need to popup each time the database open, it would run once it did not find the last linked path.
Also I have tried the code of Dev Ashish URL.... but unfortunately it would ask everytime to refresh the table links and I only want to run the process of linking tables when the database start and the linked path not found.
I've created a table utilizing certain fields that may be necessary during scenario A. However, if scenario A doesn't apply to the situation...then scenario B can come into play. The fields are the same, but can be recorded in either situation...not both. When I run a query or a report will I be catching data from either table?
I apologise if this is a common question, but I didn't really know how to word the search!
I have a form with a person selector combo, and an asset selector combo. I would like the person combo to show everyone, but the asset combo to ONLY show those that havn't already been assigned to someone else.
Hello, Im using a ASP and MS Access 2000 database. What im trying to do is: I insert a row into a table, in that table is a field that auto increments. after I insert this row I want to immediately after that be able to retrieve the value of the column containing the auto increment and hold it in a variable so i can use it for other things....
can anyone help me with this? I have been messing around with SQl cursors but cant seem to get it to work right..
Thank you very much -Justin B. Edit/Delete Message
