I have a subform with a combo box selection field among other fields. Can I export the data showing on the subform together with the drop down combo box data for each record and all its choices so that it appears as the same combo box on the worksheet. The user will then update combo box selections as required and the results would be imported back into access in the correct boxes for inclusion in a report, is that easily achievable for a moderate access user?
I posted this question before but I did not include the right information. (Many thanks, Mwalts)
I have created a form with checkboxes. I wish to export data to excel on only the people that are checked.
To export is not the issue. I have created a query to list only the people that are checked. The control souce of the checkbox is called graduated. When I go into the datasheet view, the people who are checked are represented with a -1.
In regards to the design view of the query, what text or value do I place in the critera field to list only the people that are checked?
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 have an Access database with millions of records.I am only interested in a subset of records (250,000+) that I would like to analyze in an Excel pivot-table. My issue is; how do I best export this information to Excel.I've tried filtering and exporting, but all records are exported. I've tried copy and paste but only 65K are allowed. Is there a better way to do this, perhaps linking the Access database?
I am a new Access user, and I am trying to create a database that will store and track print music.
I want to be able to track data by a text box called "Item Number". The item number is obtained automatically when the user inputs data from two different Combo Boxes.
"cmboInstrument" and "cmboMusicType"
Both these combo boxes look up separate tables which have in them two columns each 1. Instrument (Eg. Bass Guitar) 2. Code Number (Eg.0012)
The combo boxes look up the tables fine.
My problem is, that I want the txt box to display the data from both combo boxes (Eg: an eight digit number 01002111). I then also want the text box to generate a Item number starting from 0000. So all in all the Item Number after selections have been made will display 010110000000 (an ID number example).
The numbers generated need to be displayed in the table under Item Number so that they can be associated with the product, therefore I assume they need to be bound and I am currently using the code
"Private Sub cmboMusicType_AfterUpdate() Me.txtItemNumber.Value = Me.cmboMusicType.Column(1) End Sub"
Though this only works for one combo box, if I put it in another combo box - the numbers will not join together.
Im kinda new to Access and only been using the "Access 2003 for Dummies" for learning and making small databases. So far I can find out how to do the things I want, but recently got stuck with a combo box feature. What im trying to do is select entries in my combo box so that it will filter the table and show all its contents based on that filter. Im not sure how to link the combo boxes the right way and it seems some VB coding is needed which I dont normally use. If anyone has any idea how to do it, tell me how! Thanks. BTW im using Access 97.
I have a field showing who equipment is being distributed to pulling data from my US Employee table. If I make it to only the last name from my lookup
(SELECT [US Employees].[Last Name], [US Employees].[First Name], [US Employees].[Dept] FROM [US Employees] ORDER BY [Last Name], [First Name], [Dept])
I can also view the equipment listed under the individual it is assigned to on a subform on my US Employee table. If I try to have the first and last name displayed on my Equipment table, however,
(SELECT [US Employees].[Last Name]&", "& [US Employees].[First Name], [US Employees].[Dept] FROM [US Employees] ORDER BY [Last Name], [First Name], [Dept]; )
it will not display under the individual on the US Employee table. Is there a way around this without having to combine the fields on the employee table or separate them on the equipment table?
I thought that my previous request on how to create a dependent combobox based on selections from two previous comboboxes, but the example provided only worked if the fields were all in the same table. Here is an explanation of my problem...I have 3 tables:
-FoodType -fruit -vegetable
Color green red yellow
FoodName apple banana cabbage green beans kiwi lettuce lime raspberries beets spinach star fruit strawberries squash tomato
I have 3 comboboxes on a form: cboFoodType, cboColor, cboFoodName.I would like to filter the value lists in cboFoodName based on the selections from cboFoodType and cboColor.For example, if I select "fruit" from cboFoodType and "red" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFood Name to consist of "apple;raspberries;strawberries".Likewise, if I select "vegetable" from cboFoodType and "green" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFoodName to consist of "cabbage;green beans;lettuce;spinach".
Ok So I've created a Database to track phone calls coming into a call center. (Originally created in Open Office, but then we switched to Access)
I've got a form that has buttons to run multiple reports.
The Reports pull data from a table based off dates found in another table (Something I used in Open Office)
Table 1 has all the phone calls
Table 2 has a From date and a to date
The report pulls the phone calls in table 1 between the dates in table 2. In open office I used Subforms (Which were seemless) and combo boxes to update the dates in Table 2 before running the report.
Is there an easier way to accomplish this in Access? If so How? If Not, is there a way to make a seemless subform in Access?
I need a table structure that will allow me to have a repair log data entry form with 3 cascading combo boxes on the repair log data entry form. There can be many repairs for a specific job but most of the time there will be one repair per job and 1% of the time two or more repairs for a specific job.
I am pulling a report based on a query that will show the repaired location, facility type, repaired item, repaired component on that item and other details related to the repair.I uploaded an empty database with the structure.
Cascade levels
I. Facility Type II. Item by [I] III. Component by [II]
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 want some guidance in regards to how should I export access form as a report to excel. I already have fields with formulas in it and here I have fields where I have written down the numbers, so when these numbers get exported to excel. Excel will be populated with with these numbers and all the calculation will be automatically done.
I hope I am making sense here.
I have fields in access that should export through a button and populate on excel sheet.
is there any vb scripting for this, I rem seeing something in the same context few months back, but I can't seem to find it rite now.
Im having a bit of trouble exporting some information to an excel file. ordinarily im sure the data would have been exported straight to an Excel Spreadsheet when the query is run.
However, it is exporting it as a generic file - that can then be opened with Excel (open with) and all the data is in there correct.
Im sure its something simple but i cant think what im missing.
I have created a form in access 2000 with last names, first names, and other information. I wish to export specific fields to excel by using a command button.
I'm trying to export some information out of Access into an excel spreadsheet in a paticular format. When I run the code it will give me the following error about every other time, Application-defined or object-defined error. I only happens on the one line of code and it will only happen every other time. If I click the "END" button then close the excel spreedsheet and re-run the code it will work. I am at a complete loss as to what is happening and any help would be greatly appreciated.

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
I have a query embedded into a report... when i run the report it produces the data as it should and looks ok.... now i export that data to Excel and instead of displaying the data the query pulls off it just shows the query name instead.. if that makes sense ?
I've got a project that takes MS Access data and puts it into an Excel worksheet. I am interested in havig a dialog window open up that will allow me to specify the folder and Excel file name to save my data into. If anyone has a way of doing ths, I wold love to hear from them.
Incidentally, I do not want to use the TransferSpreadsheet function, since I am reporting data that would normally go into a report, and I am instead exporting my data into an Excel worksheet that looks like my report, with bolding, underlining, subtotals and totals.
Once I have an Access report in the preview on the screen, I "export" it to Excel, using the built in Menu Symbol Option (analyse in Excel). It exports all the columns of the report perfectly, except for Dates. Here it doesn't just change the format - but shows ######## in the Excel column. When I click in the cell,it says "Negative Dates and Numbers are shown as ####". Any way I can stop this happening? I don't mind what format the date is in, in Excel, as long as it's readable! Thanks a lot Marion
Hi all, I use a d'base that exports a table via a query to Excel. Once the user hits the button to run this command it can take between 30 sec to 60 sec until the data is displayed in excel.
Does anyone know of anyway to speed this process up. Currently there are around 12,000 records with the table.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post on but here goes,
I am exporting a query from access 2007 to excel 2007 and my yes / no columns are changing to true / false in excel is there any way to make these appear in excel as yes / no instead?
I've been searching for a good solution for this and can't find it. Hopefully something like this is possible.
I need to produce a report in excel from my database that needs to include information from 5 different tables. The relationship between two of these tables is a many-to-many relationship connected by a junction table. (I hope that is the right terminology)
My report needs to be in a certain format and needs to include all fields in the same order for every record.
The problem arises because of the many-to-many relationship. I have a tblOrder and a tblAgent linked by the junction table tblAgentOrder. For every order there can between 1 and four different agents associated with the order which are stored in the junction table. In addition these agents will be of different types 1-4.
Ex: One order could have an agent of type 1 and an agent of type 4. While another order may only have one agent of type 2.
I need the query to give me the result of OrderID, DateOpened, AgentType1, AgentType2, AgentType3, AgentType4. Regardless of if the order actually had an AgentType3 or 4 associated with it. In this case the fields would be blank.
Right now I'm getting: OrderID, DateOpened, AgentType1 OrderID, DateOpened, AgentType2
I hope this makes sense, but let me know if I need to clarify anything.
