Tables :: Retiring Table / Drop-List Options
Mar 28, 2013I have a sizable list of GIS polygon shapes(~9000 data points), collected over 15 years, that I am trying to shrink down to unique ID's. Each years data has a unique label, but for many of the polygons the shape does not change from year to year, so I want to assign a unique ID that encompasses all of the years that shape existed. Some examples:
1950- Parcel A - 2 acre star same
1951- Parcel K - 2 acre star same
1952- Parcel L - 2 acre star same
1953- Parcel F - 2 acre star same
1954- Parcel J - 3 acre box same
1955- Parcel Z - 3 acre box same
Ok, simple enough. I created a unique polygon ID in a separate table, and set the first 4 records to some value, let's say AAAA. The latter 2 records I called something else, BBBB let's say. These values are used in a combobox so my data entry stooges can easily assign each duplicated polygon the same ID, so a quick query will show that polygon XXXX is comprised of so many years worth of the same value, just with a different label. Now my question...
In the above example, after 1953 the 2 acre star polygon never exists again, so I want to 'retire' that option from the combobox so it cannot be chosen in error. As it stands now, if I were to enter the following date point 1956- Parcel N - 3 acre box
I can still choose AAAA or BBBB as the unique polygon ID to equate it to. Is there some way (maybe a boolean option) to disable just a specific combobox value so it cannot be entered in new records, but STILL shows up in old records, a.k.a. is not deleted?

May 6, 2014I have a main menu "MainMenuF" in my database and I would like the database to be able to be searched by any of the column headings. For example I have a table titled "NewLabReportT" this table has many column headings like "Submitted By" "Reviewed By" "Title" "Abstract" etc...
I would like my users to be able to click a radio button with the same column headers on this main menu and have a box that pops up to say "Enter search parameter" and have that parameter be searched in the table "NewLabReportT" and generate a FORM not a REPORT of all of the listings in the database that have that keyword associated to that certain category searched. That way they can "CLICK" the exact field they are looking for and have it open right up to that form.

Relationships And Building Drop Down Boxes From Various Tables
Aug 2, 2006Hi
I am trying to build a database in which there is a main table and in this main table there are products and there are types of products eg.
Ringtones - is the Product and Type - True Tone(mp3), category - R&B
another eg is Graphic is the product and Wallpaper is the type of graphic Category - friends .
I would like to combine this so when you are in the MAIN products table with
"Code" ,"Product" ,"Type" , "Category", "Title", "Artist" and "Price" that the drop down boxes say for instance when you click on "product" and you chose ringtone then in the "type" column there are only the options from the Ringtone type and not also for graphic etc.. is this hectic to do?
Hope I have explained it ok...?
Thanks !
Really hope some one can help me with this ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedTables :: How To Show 3 Values But Display 3rd From Drop Down Box
Nov 20, 2012I have created a table (data entered/selected via a form) which includes a drop down box, for 'Ethnicity' to pick a value from another table (ie used Lookup wizard to for options from another table).
The row source looks like this:
SELECT [Lookup_Tbl_ethnicity].[Code], [Lookup_Tbl_ethnicity].[Category], [Lookup_Tbl_ethnicity].[Sub-category] FROM Lookup_Tbl_ethnicity ORDER BY [Code];
Setting the ORDER BY [Code] displays the options in the drop down box in the correct sensible order.
The 'Bound Column' is column 3 - Sub-category. I assumed that this would be the 'value' stored, searched and displayed... but the table (and related form) display the Code.
how to change this so that the Sub-category is displayed?

salesqty
the txt file is set up so that there is a header record, 4,999 lines of data, then the same header record, then 4,999 lines of data, then a header record etc etc. for as many lines as is in the download. This is a download TXT file from a Microsoft Axapta ERP system.

Table - Drop Down Box Problems In Table And Querie
Apr 17, 2007I have a db that had to be designed taking into consideration a previous db. Merging went well. On several of the forms that feed the tables there are drop down boxes for entry consistency. Those drop down boxes have two columns. Ex is Counties field: Column 1 = County Name Column 2 = Numerical Designation.
On the form the dropdown shows the name for selection.
On the table it is a different story. On the portion of the table that came from the old db the field shows the Name. On the portion of the table that pertains to data entered since the new db, only the number shows. This also means it won't let me search by county name - only by number which doesn't work.
I have tried to compare properties for the old and new database for the forms, the tables, etc. and can't find a discrepancy.
1. How can I get the field in the table to show only the name and not the number?
2. Will that solve my search problem?
Oh, does it make a difference that there isn't any sort of pk or fk in the lookup table?
Thanks.
p.s. I am learning as I am going - so really complicated answers are difficult for me
Drop Down List In Access

View 3 Replies View RelatedReferencing Another Table Via Drop Down
Jan 11, 2007Hi all,
have used the wizard to take values for a table dropdown field from another table
the table has
surname forename and class all of which reside in another table... ive tried to set up the bound columns so when you select a surname from the drop down the other two fileds also referencing that 6able are automatically filled in with their corresponding values.
so if the ref table had
smith john 1m
by selecting smith in the new tables drop down, the forename and class fields automatically select the corresponding values from the ref table..
im sure this is possible but cant get it to work and cant find anything on the web (although this is probably down to not knoing the right search string)
any ideas?

Table Entries From A Drop Down Of All Possible Queries
Feb 15, 2006Hi All,
I am wanting to build a table which consists of all the queries and tables in the database.
I am expecting column 1 to have all the queries and column 2 to contain all the tables that make up the query. So the table will look like this:
Queries - Linked Tables
Query1 - Table1
Query2 - Table1
Query2 - Table2
Query3 - Table1
Query3 - Table4
As you can see a table can be linked to any number of tables.
Now for my actual question. I don't want to have to type in all the queries and tables. I would like to choose any query and table from a drop down of all possible queries and tables that are currently in the database - like a list, where the list contains all the possible values.
I would then select the relevant entry.
Any pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Evan
Modules & VBA :: Drop Down Select From Another Table
Jul 7, 2015I had 3 drop down filters that worked when the word being filtered was written in the table. I have since then linked them to new tables to be more database-y. The problem I have found (a couple weeks later too) is that my drop downs broke.
It makes sense why, they are now 1,2,3,4 instead of words but how do I make this work now that it isn't in the current table?
Code:
Private Sub cboMDS_AfterUpdate()
Dim myPlane As String
If Me.cboMDS = 0 Then
myPlane = "Select * from Baseline"
[Code] ....

Two Drop Down Lists In A Table - One Dependent On The Other
Sep 12, 2014I would like the user to enter information directly into an Access table (it's ok). I want one column to have month ended. In this column, there would be a drop down/lookup menu with each month of the year. The user selects the month we are being billed for.
Then another column called week ending date, would display all week ending dates (ends on a Sunday) but only for the month that was selected.
If the user selected another month on another row, the available weekending dates to select from would show only what pertains to the month selected. Is it possible to do this?
