Tables :: Cascading Combo Box Setup?
Sep 17, 2012
I have been reading about how to set the table up for cascading combo boxes. Some recommend breaking down into several tables, others say keep it to one table.
Mine is broken down to 5 tables (and work) but if you go to the form (split form) and make a change in design view - even something as simple as changing the width of a field - then the split table looses 2 fields information (the middle fields) but the information is still saved in the main (studentcourse) record table.
My question is how do i make it more stable so that the split form table section does not lose the information?

We've got an Access Database that I've edited in the past, I've got the cascading combo boxes set up so that, depending on which employee is selected, different "rate" options appear as work done. If I open the database afresh and select an employee (for example, employee 9 in Image 1 and employee 19 in image 3) the rates given to that employee are correct.
However, if the database remains open, I can't get the rates to update with the selected employee - even if the employee is clicked, rentered, etc.
Image 1: Freshly opened database, - Correct Rates
Image 2: Database remains open, - Incorrect Rates
Image 3: Freshly opened database, - Correct Rate
Image 4: Database remains open, - Incorrect Rates
I've tried to make it requery when clicked... or before the event... or on form click... or anything, but it doesn't want to know.

I am totally new to Visual Basic.I have dependent cascading combo boxes setup. The hierarchy goes:
Segment
Family
Class
Brick
Now, I need the value in the Brick field to create a varying number of other cascading combo boxes. They are the Brick Attributes. The brick attributes are the labels for the combo boxes and the brick attribute values would be the values you can chose from within the combo boxes. Depending on which Brick you chose, there are a varying number of Brick Attributes, and thus a varying number of needed combo boxes to pop up.

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]

I have created a form with 9 cascading combo boxes. There are 59 total results or scenarios (which are based upon the completion of the form and these 9 combo boxes). Currently, upon completion of the form and the 9 combo boxes, a text box displays the singular result/scenario.
Here's my question: Rather than utilizing a text box to display the result/scenario, is it possible to output a PDF or Word document? If so, is there a general VBA code for this that I could manipulate?

I have two tables set up and am trying to transfer a record between two. I understand that the best method is to maintain one table and use fields to make the record appear in either based on the field but at the moment need to maintain the two until I have more time to merge etc.
I am receiving the following error:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Cardsmaintainedbyfacilities.33CAccessCard'.
Code:
Private Sub Command151_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO ExitingStaffData (ExitingStaffID, ExitingStaff , SupervisorDetails , ExecAccessCard , IDAccessCard , 33CAccessCard )"
strSQL = strSQL + " SELECT Cardsmaintainedbyfacilities.id, Cardsmaintainedbyfacilities.ExitingStaff ,
[Code] ....
Works fine for all other lines (especially when I delete the line from the code). Just gets stuck on that line. I have checked both tables and the table and all associated data match - its a yes/no data type (same as Execaccesscard and IDCard). Just that one line crashes.

I'm wondering is it possible to create a multiple parameter query which will return results even if you leave some of the parameters blank ?. I'm trying to set up a Form which will allow users to select parameters using combo boxes but at the moment you need to fill them all in or you'll get no results...

Dear members,
I have a form with 4 Combo boxes bound to fields in 4 tables;
1) Oblast Name
2) District Name
3) Jamoat Name
4) Village Name
The selections work fine. Cascade works from Oblast to Village Name. My question is ;
Currently the ID's of the bound columns are stored in the tables instead of the corresponding data. For example for the Oblast name; I have the value "3"=" rather than "Khatlon" for District_Name, I have "223", rather than "Muminobad".
Is there way to capture the names of the respective places rather than storing ID's in the table?
Thanks in advance.

I have a database that I use to put in orders for our shop and keep track of our part informations as well as paint and packing materials. Everything works good on this but I am trying to create a table for adjusting quantities on hand for packing material based on the part quantities and for adjusting paint in stock based on information given to me after the job is run.
There is already a relationship between parts and packing material as well as parts and paint. When I put an order in I would like to have it adjust out that many packing materials that are related to that part. Once a job is run I need to be able to adjust out the amount of paint used.
For the paint side of this I want it to track the paint used by order, we are trying to get a grasp on how much paint we are using for parts so it is important for me to know how much and when.
I am thinking I need a table that connects paint to orders and has quantities in it, then create a query and do the calculations from there... I do not know how to accomplish that but it sounds like it could be right...

This is driving me a little mad, and its probably something quite simple!
I am creating a form which will allow users to narrow down their search based on criteria entered into three combo boxes.
The first combo box pop's up a calendar and is populated when the date is chosen on the calendar.
The second combo box will provide a list of systems that have a record entered on that date
The third combo box will then show a list of case id's based on the system and date selected.
I can get it working when ignoring the date, but as soon as I bring the date combo into the equation I get a data mismatch error. Now I presume that this is to do with holding a date in a text field and comparing with a date/time field in the table, so I have set both to 'short date', but still get the error.
Can anyone provide any pearls of wisdom to help stop me from going insane? (that might be a bit late tho!)

I have a few cascading combo boxes that restricts the value of one combo box depending on what the the value of other one is.
The problem I have is that some of the data is not displayed in the combo boxes when scrolling through the records after data entry.
I have tried to re query them on the form on open event but it does not seem to help much.
Any Ideas?
thanks :)

Hello
I have a database (Access 2007) that has two tables, reports, queries and so far all seems to be working and going well. Quite impressed with it to be honest for my lack of skills.
However, I've run into a bit of trouble and need assistance getting a combo box to work with another combo box to produce list kind of thing.
The database is a vehicle database and I need the 'Vehicle' combo box to give me a list of vehicles. I then need the 'Model' combo box to produce the models of the car selected in the 'Vehicle' combo box.
Example - If I select 'Ford' from the 'Vehicle' combo box list I want all the models to be displayed in a list form thing in the 'Model' combo box so the user can easily select make and model of the car.
I have two tables:
CarMM
VD
The 'CarMM' table contains a list of around 1,500 records of car makes and models. First column has the 'Vehicle' make and the second field coloumn has the 'Model'.
The 'VD' table contains all other information like the charges, name, the make and model of car once selected in combo box.
I then have the form called 'VD'. In this form contains the combo boxes I want to be cascading.
Any advice on how to do this? I'm quite new to this so any help would be nice. Thanks you very much.

I need some help setting up my tables to allow cascading combo boxes. I need to document when a Pharmacy IV room and chemotherapy room are cleaned. Each Room requires different cleaning procedures.
Here is my table structure:
TblCleaningDuties
DutyID-Auto# (PK)
Duty - text (Example- mop floor, clean hood, wash ceiling, wash sink)
Frequency-text
TblLocation
LocationID- Auto# (PK)
Location - Text (Clean Room, Chemo Room, Anteroom)
TblCleaning
CleanID-Auto# (PK)
LocationID-(FK)
DutyID- (FK)
Date/Time
TechID
If the user selects Clean Room I don't want them to see wash sink and anything else not pertinent to the Clean Room. How do I set up the tables?
Thanks,
Jason

I have an unbound Form with a Subform bound to a query. The query parameters are selected by the users via Unbound cboboxes. The form is working but I would like to add a feature on each cbobox that would allow to show "All" the data (ie:Show the data like if there was no parameter on that field). I can't see how to add this feature, is anybody got any idea?

Right I have followed one of the sample databases and modified it to create cascading combo boxes like i needed.
Now all i need to do is use them in the context i need.
Basically I have country, region and sub region. These cascade to each other in the form which has been created. If you select a country, then in region you in only see the regions in that country, etc.
What i need is to be able to use the cascading combos boxes in conjunction with the "Location table". So someone can put in a project number and then use the cascading combo boxes to to chose the country, region and sub region boxes saving all of the data into the location table .
Please can someone help, as it took me allmost three hours to create the cascading combo boxes but now i cant even use them for what i wanted them for,.
Many Thanks

Hi
I have trawled this forum searching for help with cascading combo boxes, it was very helpful but alas I need that bit more.
I have 2 combo boxes and the result is displayed in a subform. The problem is that it will only display one selection made from the Combo boxes and I need multiple selections on display in the record.
It is a parts job worksheet in a garage where multiple work is required on a vehicle. It is based on Work Type and Work Codes which then bring up the detailed description.
The first Combo Box is Work Type and this allows you to select letters. The second Combo Box is Work Code and this allows you to select numbers.
I used the example I found on here but haven't changed the field names as I daren't alter the coding until I know it will display multiple selections in the subform of the record.
I attach the database to see of anyone can help me, ppllleeeaaassssee. I woul dbe most grateful if you could make the changes and zip it back up as I ain't no VB programmer.

Hi folks, this may seem like a silly question... but I'm rather new at this...
I have set up 4 Cascading combo boxes on a form, as per the fantastic little tutorial by SJ McAbney... They work great...
What I want them to do is output the combo box selections back to a table. I have been able to get it to do this, but all it's putting back in the table is the ID number of the combo box selection. I need to get the text there instead. I experimented with switching the column order on the form, so the text is before the ID... and that worked with the output, but messed up a number of other things.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance...

i currently have 4 combo boxes that each has its own table, and setup as cascading. Now what i want to add is an <All> in each combo to box to give any results in that table.
i have
combo 1
SELECT [tblProductManufacturer].[ProductManufacturerID], [tblProductManufacturer].[ProductManufacturer]
FROM tblProductManufacturer UNION Select "<All>", "<All>" as Bogus From tblProductManufacturer
ORDER BY [tblProductManufacturer].[ProductManufacturer];
combo 2
SELECT tblProductModel.ProductModel, tblProductModel.ProductModelID
FROM tblProductModel
WHERE (((tblProductModel.ProductManufacturerID)=[Forms]![MainScreen]![MainWindow].[Form].[CboProductManufacturer])) UNION Select "<All>", "<All>" as Bogus From tblProductModel
ORDER BY tblProductModel.ProductModelID;
combo 3
SELECT [tblProductVersion].[ProductVersion], [tblProductVersion].[ProductVersionID]
FROM tblProductVersion
WHERE ((([tblProductVersion].[ProductModelID])=[Forms]![MainScreen]![MainWindow].Form.CboProductModel)) UNION Select "<All>", "<All>" as Bogus From tblProductVersion
ORDER BY [tblProductVersion].[ProductVersionID];
combo 4
SELECT [tblProductSize].[ProductSize], [tblProductSize].[ProductSizeID]
FROM tblProductSize
WHERE ((([tblProductSize].[ProductVersionID])=[Forms]![MainScreen]![MainWindow].Form.CboProductVersion)) UNION Select "<All>", "<All>" as Bogus From tblProductSize
ORDER BY [tblProductSize].[ProductSizeID];
in place of UNION Select "<All>", "<All>" i have also tried
UNION Select Null as AllChoice, "(All)" as Bogus
And in place of UNION Select "<All>", "<All>" as Bogus i have also tried
UNION select distinct null, null (And added distinct after the first Select of the query)
but to no avail????

Afternoon,
I'm having a problem with a form used to display table records as well as create a new record entry.
The form has 2 combo boxes and the rest are fields.
Combo1: Artist
Combo2: Gallery
I would like it so that when the form opens and displays the first record it will also populate the two combo's with the correct details for that record. Secondly when I click to create a new record it will populate the first combo with all artists but then the second combo will populate with multiple galleries (I think because that artist might have done work with multiple galleries).
I'm a little stuck so any help would be great at this point!
:)

Im using the code from an 'older' example posted here ages ago and it works fine on other databases when there are only 3 combo boxes. This time I'm using on a total of 5.
The problem is the 3rd, 4th and 5th boxes will not requery to a null value, I've tried using DoCmd.Requery "cbo_whatever" instead of Me.cbo_whatever.Requery in case that makes a difference (as you guessed I'm not much of a code jockey :p)
So am I being a bit thick, why doesn't this work ? I've had a search on the forum and have found many examples (obviously) of cascading box examples etc. but I'm comfortable using this example and can figure out what's wrong.
Private Sub cbo_region_AfterUpdate()
If IsNull(Me.cbo_region) Then
Me.cbo_city = Null
Me.cbo_city.Enabled = False
Me.cbo_city.Locked = True
Else
Me.cbo_city.Enabled = True
Me.cbo_city.Locked = False
Me.cbo_city.Requery
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cbo_city_Afterupdate()
If IsNull(Me.cbo_city) Then
Me.cbo_building = Null
Me.cbo_building.Enabled = False
Me.cbo_building.Locked = True
Else
Me.cbo_building.Enabled = True
Me.cbo_building.Locked = False
Me.cbo_building.Requery
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cbo_building_AfterUpdate()
If IsNull(Me.cbo_building) Then
Me.cbo_floor = Null
Me.cbo_floor.Enabled = False
Me.cbo_floor.Locked = True
Else
Me.cbo_floor.Enabled = True
Me.cbo_floor.Locked = False
Me.cbo_floor.Requery
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cbo_floor_AfterUpdate()
If IsNull(Me.cbo_floor) Then
Me.cbo_room = Null
Me.cbo_room.Enabled = False
Me.cbo_room.Locked = True
Else
Me.cbo_room.Enabled = True
Me.cbo_room.Locked = False
Me.cbo_room.Requery
End If
End Sub

Hi,
I am using a form with 3 combo boxes name, weight and grade. The combo boxes are cascading:
A name is selected in the first combo box, since each name has different weights attached to it only the weights associated with that name are selected when the weight combo box is clicked. In a similar vein, there are only certian grades associated with a certain weight.
The effect is to filter the results so that an invalid entry cannot occur.
My problem is that once an entry is made and I select a new name for the next entry, the weight and grade boxes remain with the same values instead of updating to new values. Updating of the boxes does not appear to be working.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?
Many Thanks

I have 4 Combo Boxes on my form (cmbo1, cmbo2, cmbo3, cmbo4). I have successfully managed to get the cascading down as long as the user starts with cmbo1.
What I would like to be able to do is have the user select any combo box on the form and have the rest of the boxes filter automatically, e.g., a user selects a value in cmbo2, the afterupdate would then filter/lookup the values of cmbo1, cmbo3, cmbo4 based on the value selected in cmbo2.
Is this possible and if so, does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

Hello to everybody!
I need a big help to solve a problem with my DB Access.
I created a form in a DB where I have to fill some information and store them in a table.
I created the cascading combo box. It works, infact when I select the value in the first Combo box named NOME_PROVIDER the second combo named NUM_MAM comes populated with the value got from a query. Anyhow it works well.
THE PROBLEM right now is that I can only select the first value of NOME_PROVIDER and not all the other. I'm sure that the selection query works, but I'm not able to select the other values. Maybe could be a focus problem or something like that.
PLEASE CAn you give me an help on this matter?
Thanks in advance to everybody!!!
Cheers,
Antonio.

I have 2 Cascading Combo boxes setup and working correctly.cbo1 lists all agents and cbo2 lists the branches that relate to each agent.tbl_agents and tbl_branches are setup with a 1 to many relationship.I have used the code (explained here (http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut20.htm)) that allows the user to add a new agent if they are not in the list. This works correctly. Now I want to let the user add a new branch for the agent they have just added. The code appears to work correctly from the front end, but when you check tbl_branch, there is a new entry but it is missing the appropriate agentID foreign key (ie, it's not related to the new agent).Is there something that I'm missing? I assume this is possible, but I must be doing something wrong.Maybe I need to create a little pop-up form for data entry?any help appreciated.

I'm really stuck on this and have tried loads of different ways, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have 3 tables: tbl_Workshop, tbl_WorkshopArea and tbl_Instructor.
I want to have a combo box that will display the field WkshopArea from the workshoparea table. When an area is selected the next combo box should only display the names of the workshops available in that area. (The second combo box should be based on the WkshopTitle field in the workshop table.
Once a workshop is chosen from the second combo box a text box should be updated with the corresponding code of the workshop.
I've attached an example of my database for you to look at - both the forms on there don't work, but show examples of what I've been trying.
