I currently have a table with two important fields (lets call them X and Y) currently I have them set to ComboBox where they reference two look up tables. I then have a form that allows for user input. Each of the two fields work with drop down lists. What I want to to is filter the Y Field based on the selection in Field X.
I wrote a query that is set to the Second combo box. WHen the user selects the drop down it runs the query and uses the value in the first to narrow the selection.
[forms]![DATA_ENTRY]![HOUSE_NUMBER]
THis works great but only for the first go through. After that it seems that I have to have code on one of the events. Basically any time the user hits the drop down I want to requery.
Does anyone have any code examples that I can reference that will show me how to repopulate that second combobox based on the selection from the first combobox? EVERY TIME I CLICK THE SECOND DROP DOWN BOX ....I would imagine that I have write the code on one of its events...
I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate() If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable" Else If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable" End If End If End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I have 2 comboboxes, the first one is called "activity", whereby I have 3 options to choose from, and the second is called "level".
When I click an "activity", for example Drawings, I want the "level" combobox to list a unique set of options for that category. and if I click on a different "activity" for example Planning, I want the "level" combobox to show a completely different set of options.
If anyone can give me any help on how to do this then I would be very grateful!!
I've tried searching the forums and haven't found quite what i'm looking for. I would like to be able to change the source for a combobox based on another combobox. The simplest way i can summarize that is i want to be able to choose A or B, depending on my choice i want another combobox to display all the values that A or B can have.
I have a combo box in a form that uses a query to access values from a different table, and dispaly them as choices. This works great. The first problem I encountered was if the value that was needed to be entered was not in the list, then there should be an option to add it. I found a couple good examples by using the NotInList definition to achieve this. And it works, when a new value is added, a message box comes up asking to enter the info in the database and the needed form then pops up. But when I close the form, the value is not in the combobox. Now I also researched this for a while, and found out about the function ComboBox.Requery, but I don't know where to put it to work.
Here's a more code definition of what I'm trying to do/have:
Private Sub Building_NotInList(Newdata As String, Response As Integer) If MsgBox("""" & Newdata & """ is not in the customer list. Add it?", 33) <> 1 Then Response = DATA_ERRCONTINUE Exit Sub End If DoCmd.OpenForm "addbldgform", , , , 1 'Data Entry Mode Response = DATA_ERRCONTINUE End Sub
I was thinking about putting the ComboBox.Requery inside the AfterUpdate of a field in the addbldgform, so that when a new entry was added it would update by writing this in the AfterUpdate:
Form!buildingPractice!BuildingID.Requery
but that gives me an error saying that the field buildingPractice can't be found, when it is really a form with the value BuildingID (the name of the combobox that needs to be updated)
Sorry about the long definition, I just wanted to be clear, hope someone can help out.
I have a form called NewRequisitions that had a combobox in which the users select the Supplier (name, address, shipping details). I created a button to open a subform called NewSupplier so that they can add a new supplier to the Supplier table as needed. My code works okay for the first "NewSupplier" entry - the table and combobox are both updated and the new supplier is available for selection in the dropdown list. However, when there is a 2nd record that needs a NewSupplier added the combobox list doesn't get refreshed. The record is added into the table okay but you can only view it if the NewRequisitions (main) form is closed and then reopened.
Here is the code in my subform:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms(NewRequisitions).IsLoaded Then
'save the record if there have been any changes If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
'requery combobox on other form Forms!NewRequisitions!ComboSupplier.ReQuery
'yield to other events - and put the new list into use DoEvents
I am running into a problem with just one form in my database. I was getting the error 'Can't build a link between unbound forms'. After searching here and elsewhere the solution is/might be to type the linked fields into the child and master proprty fields. However when I do that I still can't get this form to work. Would anybody please take a look at the file attached - I trimmed it down to two tables with a few records and a form/subform.
I want to make a selection in the combo box and have the filtered results displayed on the form below - simple and I have done the same thing in the database elsewhere but I just can't see why it won't work here.
Hello, I ran into another programming road block. I currently have a combo box that is bound to a table with 2 fields and has 4 different options/records in it, with an after update procedure, that has different calculations for each record. I want to add a Dlookup command that will display the record that is chosen and it will need to be placed in the after update procedure of the combo box also. Is this possible?
Code that is currently in the after update procedure of the combo box.
Dim prp As Property, ctl As Control
Set prp = Me!cboRidge.Properties("ListIndex") Set ctl = Me.txtRidgetot
If prp = 0 Then ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4 ElseIf prp = 1 Then ctl = ([txtridge]*100/45)+0.4 ElseIf prp = 2 Then ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4 Else ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4 End If
The company's register of projects we select the customer from a combo box that is related to the customer table. However, the way this works now, the individual may choose another customer by mistake, and if this is not corrected at the time the project will be listed with the wrong customer.
I would like to have a feature that when you select a customer receive a message if you are sure this is the right customer and if you answer yes then the customers name is being locked to this project ID.
I have a form that has a combobox and a field text. If i select any value in combobox i want to update the txtBox but not with the ID of the selection. I need to get the description of the combobox selection which is essentially the Column 2.
i just to know how to list the all data at subform that same thing that i selected at combobox..
ok for example..
i want to list all car part that purchased in nov 2005 at subform... date(nov 2005) selected from combo box... then if i change other date (ex: dec 2005) it update n view new parts..
I have two Tables, "staff data" (staffID, name) and "issues log" (IssueID, StaffID, 20+ fields about individual Issues). StaffIDs are linked together so each employee can have multiple issues..I have (so far) Form1 containing individual Issues that can be filled in, or retrieved one at a time / scrolled through in IssueID order
What I want is a second form, containing a combobox with all StaffIDs (+ names) listed; when a StaffID is selected, a table is loaded containing all Issues for that employee. When any of these is selected, Form1 is loaded
I have created the second form, including the combo that contains both StaffIDs and Names. I can't yet grasp how to show the set of Issues applicable to that employee when I change that combo...If I could have the combo on Form.
it's easy to set up a form with a combobox that will list all records and moves the user to the selected record. But I can't figure out how to just show a selection of the records in this combobox, instead of all records.
So, to use the example used in most online tutorials: a drop down menu shows you all the names in a customer database. However, I'd like to have instead a dropdown menu with an overview of all surnames in the database and that I move to the first record with the selected surname.
How to get my query to run from criteria based on a combobox from another table. I have a field "prac" that has entries such as JF, MG, PM, RJ etc.
My query has the criteria for prac as [Forms]![PracReportPrint]![PracChoice].
PracChoice is the name of the combobox.
If I specify a valuelist for the combobox the query works. I created a different table just for a list of practitioners that contains only an index key and practitioners (JF, MG, PM, RJ, and so forth). When I set the combobox to table/query and select practitioners from my other table I get the correct list,b ut the query doesn't seem to detect what is selected from the combobox.
I have a table which has a "Start" and "End" fields, and i made a query based on this fields which continues to look up the next points until the last end points. I wanted to filter the last end points on the query table that was related on the combobox value.
My database is centered on a main form where users select pieces of information from ComboBoxes (primarily) and submit.
The first part of the form, they must choose from a list of our clients, which is a table with with roughly 5000 rows.
Later on in the form, they must choose a contact person from that client. While Client's may have several contact names (which need to be stored in a table), only one name is necessary for the form portion.
How can I make this Contact Person ComboBox only load names attached to the specific Client selected above?
As it stands right now, the Client List has its own table (along with additional information), and Contact Name is a separate Table with a look up field of Client List.
I have a combobox on a form which is populated from a field to present a list for the user to choose from.
I have limit list set to 'N'
When the user types something in the combobox that is not in the field in the table then I want to prompt for a password. Effectively password protecting the update of the field from a combobox.
If the password is correct the text is written to the field in the table and if not then not.
I have a combo box which gets its values from sql server using a query which is called "get_query_reason", which works fine. Now I want to update combo box values based on a user selection, st string. Have written the code, but does not work:
Dim qDef As QueryDef Dim Query As String Dim st As String Dim rs As Recordset st = "SOV" Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_query_reason")
I have been spending all my today to fill a combobox dynamically, but have not been able yet.
I have a combobox and a pass-through query in access, which is working fine and fill the details into the combobox via data source. Now what I am planning to do is to update the combobox source as soon as value in a text box changes.
Here is the code I am using, but it is not working:
Dim rs As Recordset Dim qDef As QueryDef Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_data") qDef.SQL = "SELECT Initial + ' (' + Name + ')' uws FROM EM.dbo.UW" _ & " WHERE lob = '" & addSingleQuotation(Me.CMB_LOB.Value) & "'"
Me.cmbUM.RowSource = qDef.SQL Me.cmbUM.Requery
I also used Recordset, but did not work:
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("get_data") Me.cmbUM.RowSource = rs!uws
I currently have a form that creates a report based on a query that takes in a start date and an end date. What I would like to do is to create comboboxes that will let the user choose a month and year for the report. Is there a simple way to choose an entire month in access? I've tried using the Month() function to no avail.
The SQL statement for where I select the start and end date is below:
WHERE ((([tblData].[EntryDate]) Between [Forms]![frmByRange]![BeginningDate] And [Forms]![frmByRange]![EndingDate])
I am creating an Access program for logging in Parcels that are delivered and I am having some problems.
I have a Table called 'Contacts' and within this there are 4 Columns: 'Names', 'Departments', 'Extensions' and 'Emails'.
I also have a Form and there is 1 Combobox and 3 Textboxes relating to this Table: 'Addressed To', 'Department', 'Ext Number' & 'Email'. (see http://c0ld.homeip.net/parcel_log.jpg for details).
What I would like to do is select the Name from the Combobox (Addressed To) and the have the other Textboxes (Department, Ext Number & Email) get auto-filled with the corresponding data that’s within the Table for that Name.
If anyone would like the .mdb for this, please PM me.
Hi I have been searching this forum for 3 hours for a solution, some come close others are pure gobble de gook to me. I have on a form 1 combobox where a name is chosen, from that choice I would like the address, suburb, state etc automatically placed intheir relevant fields. I have tried =DLookUp("[PropertyAddress]","tblProperty","[Property]") in the address textbox which will only bring up the first recod's address from the table, if I change the name in the combobox the address doesn't change. What am I doing wrong, I have designing databases in Access for a total of 7 days now and have been going fairly well with some tips and code snippets from this forum but this has got me stumped.
Hello. I am trying to make an invoice sheet in Access 2000. My program consists a Order Sheet (frmOrder2), Delivery (frmDelivery) Sheet and a Invoice Sheet (frmInvoice). All three are linked by DoNo. The DoNo is made by frmOrder2.
I have a form that is called frmInvoice and a subform called subInvoice.
What I basically want to do is, to get the subform (subInvoice) to show records depending on the selection in the combobox DoNo in the main form.
subInvoice should show the Items, UnitPrice, Amount, TotalPrice, Remarks. These Items should show the records of frmOrder2.
I am kind of confused and totally lost, because I have no clue how to start! And I am quite a beginner so, bear with me! Thank you!
I would like to know if the following is possible: I have a table, I have a form based on that table (datasheet view) and I would like for certain columns to visible or not based on the input on a Combobox (list of countries) that is based on another form.
I have searched on the web and I found that the following:
On a button based on the main menu form:
Code: Private Sub Go_Click() Dim stDocName As String Dim stOpen As String stOpen = Me!cboDest stDocName = "Datasheet" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , , , , stOpen
and then on the event "on open" of the form Datasheet I have inserted the following:
Code: Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Select Case OpenArgs Case "USA" Forms![Overflow]![Tasks].Visible = True Forms![Overflow]![Constant Number (Min)].Visible = True
[Code] ....
I have done it as a test, but it appears that it does not work. It opens the forms, but it does not hide or show the columns based on the option, it brings all the columns.
