I have a request from users to have a combo box in the form header defaulted to the selected object when they open the form or search on a new person (same object they want to be default). Currently it defaults to the first box in the detail section. (I hope this makes sense)
I believe I can do it with events, just wanted to know if there is a different way.
i have a combo box on my form that uses UNION query to put "<select>" as part of the list items.right now "<select>" appears on top of the list but what i mtrying to do is when the form loads i want the combo box to have "<select>" selected and not just show blank unless someone click on the down arrow. i m sure there is a way/propoerty to do it but i cant figure it out. Also how can i make my combo box so user cant type in a combo box but select from the list.

I am trying to make a form where the default value of particular fields is the last value that was selected for that field. This is to make it faster to enter data.
I have never done this before and am only taking a guess, this is what I have done so far:
For the AfterUpdate property, I have entered Me![Field Name].Requery
For the default value property of the same field, I have entered [Forms]![Form Name].[Field Name]
When using the form, I get #Error as the default value.
Can anyone provide details on how to get it to work?
Thanks in advance

i have 2 tables (clients, frequencies) where in table "clients" i have a column to store ID of "frequencies" table (id, description).
in my form "FClient" i display data stored in table "clients" and i have a combobox that should display the "frequencies" descriptions, but with a frequency selected by default...in fact the one that has its ID stored in table "clients". i'm able to display all frequencies descriptions but i don't know how to easily select and then display, as default, the frequency stored in table "client"
I want to refer to an objects properties in form: ie...
set a textbox's default value = textbox.name (me.name?)
How do I set this in the form's default value (...without using VBA).
I'm pretty good with setting up a very simple database such as inventory, profiles, etc.. However I'm creating a database to keep track of a football (soccer) team's players and match statistics.What I have so farsample attached)
Tables:
* Players - PlayerID, Fname, Lname, position, goals, assists, etc (all details regarding a player)
* Position - Positons (Table containing positions eg: defender. Data is selected in player's form as a combo-box)
* Competition - Competition types (Cup, League, Friendly. Data is selected in Match's form as a combo-box
* Venue - similar to Competition table
* Opponent - Similar to above two tables
* Match - MatchID, Competition, Venue, etc (form corresponding to table attached)
Forms:
* Player form
* Match form
Now as shown in the sample, I choose players using the combo-box. Then whatever stats they had during the match are entered on the fields provided. How to link the player (selected using combo box) to the stat fields (goals, assist, YC, etc).
Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

Any way to change the default way a field is selected in a form so that it doesn't highlight all the text when you tab?I have the standard black text on a white background but when the whole field is highlighted it looks ugly and I think is quite difficult to read until you click into it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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...
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.
How do I move combo box label into the form header area while leaving the actual field title in the detail area in a subform so they looked stacked like the other items??

My question is on my input form I want to have the user/employee pick his name once in a header combo box as-well as the week ending date and have it populate to every new record that user input (each employee can charge to multiple projects in a week so I want to eliminate the need for them to pick their name and week ending date everytime they select a different job charge.)

I have a combo box in the header area. The record source, Bound Column are set correctly ( I know because I tested it on a form ). In this instance, the user would select from the dropdown list, the name of a member of staff, based on the click-event, and passing the Staff_ID to a variable, this would be used to filter a recordset/recordsource for the report. However, there is no dropdown ( or arrow on combo - so no name can be selected ) ?

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.
I have my table all set up and during the import I want the header records to be dropped. I tried in the validation section for startdate {Not "startdate"} but that did not work. Is there some simple way to ensure the header records are dropped?
Scenario: I have a combo box in an evaluation db that is set up to return 3 columns - EmpID, Name, JobID. The combo box only shows Name, but properly updates the neccessary fields on the screen.
Problem: I would like to turn the JobID txt box into a combo box that would default to null prior to a Name selection (on a new record) and then default to the recorded JobID after Name selection. 99.9% of the time, this won't be used, but occasionally an employee will receive an evaluation for a JobID they did, but were not officailly assigned.
The right way to do it would be to create a second record in the primary system that I am polling the data from, but that is not feasible given the nature of that system.
Any ideas?

I have a form with several objects:
Projects -> which have Sources -> which have SourceTypes
The underlying DB has tables for Projects, Sources and SourceTypes:
Code:
Table Projects;
Fields:
ProjectID : AutoNumber;
etc, etc
[Code] ....
So, I'm trying to get all the Sources for a given ProjectID, and I'm using the following SQL statement:
Code:
SELECT ID, ProjectID, Sequence, Name from Sources WHERE [Sources].ProjectID= MyProject.ProjectID;
Which actually gets coded (because MyProject.ProjectID is a variable) as:
"SELECT ID, ProjectID, Sequence, Name from Sources WHERE [Sources].ProjectID= " & MyProject.ProjectID & ";"
What actually happens is that Access jumps in and says (via a Message Box) "Give me a value for Source.ProjectID.
I've just done that in the SQL statement!
How do I get a 'real' SELECT to work for the RowSource?
I have a form that has a combo box with a list of selections. I also have a tab control with a tab that corresponds to each option in the combo box, so that I can show the details specific to the selected item.
Is there a way to have the value of the combo box select the appropriate tab in the tab control automatically? And I don't want it to select the tab only after I've entered or selected something from the combo box. I'd like it to select based on the already stored value of the combo box. So if the combo box shows Cars, then the Cars tab would automatically select.
Any ideas?
I am having trouble getting a combo box to go to a selected record on a form. It basically ignores the selection. I have successfully used the combo box to do searches on other forms. The only difference I'm noticing is that form I'm using has multiple records for the search criteria.
Any ideas?
My Db has 1 table with 4 columns named ID, First_name, Last_name and Photo.
ID is a counter and primary key.
First+last names are text fields.
Photo is an Ole object.
I display everything in a form that is controlled by a combo box. The combo box displays the first name and when I chage the first name with this box the last name changes too. I use this code together with the event "after update"
Code:Private Sub Combo_First_name_AfterUpdate()Me.txt_last_name.Value = Me.Combo_first_name.Column(2)
Everything works perfectly fine (txt_last_name changes according to the first name in the combo box), except that the photo of the person doesn't change. Nothing happens to the photo when changing value in the combo box or it just displays a message box with an error messages when I have tried to get it to work.
I want the ole object picture to change too, when changing the first name in the combo box.
I hope you can help me out here.
hello everyone
i created 4 tables
Departments (DepartmentName as prime key),
Employees (EmployeeCode as prime key, as prime key field can't have duplicates as it occuring in case of EmployeeName),
ErrorReference (ErrorCode as prime key) and ErrorCategory
I built onemore table "Performance", in which 'workOrderRef, Date, Cost and WorkOrderPic' are local fields and rest of fields (departmentName, EmployeeCode, EmployeeName, ErrorCode, ErrorRef) are linked to different database to prop up data while data entry.
Also did relations between these tables in order to facilitate cascading effect of modification in respective database bases.
Now the question is - in input database file i.e. "Performance",
- when i prop up "CAD" department, i should get employees in CAD department and in turn employee code.
similarly
- when i prop up any Error rerefernce, it should automatically prop up corresponding ErrorCode
can anyone tell me how to se filter command?
Thank you

Hi
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.
Thanks in Advance

Can someone please help me?
I have a combo box on a form that the user can select a player name.
Under the combo box I have a label called "Show me information about selected Player: that once clicked takes the user to another form which has all information about the player that was previously selected in the combo box.
Everything works fine UNLESS the user forgets to select a playername from the combo box and clicks on the label anyway. Obviously no player name was selected so a blank form opens which is a problem!
How can I ensure that a player name is selected and prevent the user from clicking on the label below without having previously selecting from the combo box?
If anyone can please help I would appreciate it so much.

Hi all,
I have created a form to enter downtime information using the fields from downtime table (as follows)
tblDowntimes
fldDowntimeID (PK)
DateOccured
MaterialCode
ShiftID (FK)
LineMachineID (FK)
DTCategoryID (FK)
DTReasonID (FK)
However on the form, LineMachine is taken from the tblLineMachine where LineID and MachineID are FKs. This has a large list of machines as one line can have many machines and a machine may appear on more than one line
So on the form, i would like to select the LineMachineID by inserting fldLineID (which would be a combo box) where the user could select which line e.g. Line1 and then the combo box for the LineMachineID would only display the relevant machines for the entered line instead of all the machines for every line.
I managed to achieve this,but I am experiencing a problem where if, in the Line combo box, i choose a different Line e.g. Line2, the LineMachineID does not then display the machines on Line2, but keeps showing the machines for the line I originally selected (Line 1).
How do I get the LineMachineID combo box to update every time a different line is chosen in the LineID combo box?
Any assistance much appreciated!!
thanx all,

Hi Everyone.. or anyone!
I have a date field called 'CDDueDate' on a form called Diary, based on a Diary Query, based on the Diary Table. I have a combo box that lists dates generated by SQL to select from. It has no control source, i can see dates from today till the end of 2005 in the Row Source and the type is set to Value List.
Once I have selected a date, how do i get it to store it in my CDCueDate field. It doesn't save to the underlying query or table?
I tried setting the Control Source to CDDueDate thought the combo is called cboDateSelect, but it comes up with Msg "Write Conflict, da dee da, with Save Record, Copy to Clip Board or Drop changes".
If i click Save Record, a msg comes up;
"The macro or function set to the BeforeUpdate or ValidationRule property for this field is preventing Microsoft Access from saving the data in the field.
If this is a macro, open the macro in the Macro window and remove the action the forces a save (for example GoToControl).
If the macro includes a SetValue action, set the macro to the AfterUpdate property of the control instead.
If this is a function, redefine the function in the Module Window."
If i follow the instructions in this message, the combo box stays blank no matter how much i select a value.
If i click ok again, it comes up with "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit". And if i click ok again, it comes up with, Microsoft has encountered and Error.. da dee da, prompts to create backup and send error report.
Does anyone have any ideas?
