Update Tables From Combo Boxes In A Form

Aug 24, 2011

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?

Forms :: Database With 3 Tables - Linking Combo Boxes And Text Boxes

Jul 29, 2015

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.

Before Update With Combo Boxes

Jul 27, 2006

i have a form that i want to stamp with a date when it was last updated. if a change to the form is made it will be stamped with today's date. i used the BeforeUpdate event so that you could choose to save the edits or not so if you didn't mean to edit a record then the date would not change. the code is:
Dim myVar As Byte
myVar = MsgBox("Changes to this issue have been made. Would you like to save the changes?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Save Changes?")
If myVar = vbYes Then
[LastUpdate].Value = Date
Else
Me.Undo
End If


my problem is that when i change the combo box values it will run this event and ask to save. i think the reason this is happening is because the comboboxes save when you change them. how do i accomplish the same task as above but allow the combo boxes to act like txt boxes?

also is there a way that when i ask if the user wants to save or not, to have a cancel button that will take no action, leaving the record open the way it was (new typing and everything) before the user tried to close the form without saving that info?

Queries :: Multiple Combo Boxes And Text Boxes On A Search Form

Mar 24, 2014

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

Forms :: Search Form Using Both Combo Boxes And Check Boxes

Jun 5, 2014

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

Update Field In A Table Using Combo Boxes

May 4, 2005

Hello,

I am a basic/intermediate user of Access. I have been given a small assigment to
update a field (the primary id field to be exact) in one of my tables based on the choice
selected on my combo box on my form.

Tables:
Survey_Answer (N/A, yes, no, Dev) with sur_ans_id being the primary id. (this is the
table that I am using to populate or pull information in my combo box. sur_answer: The NA, yes, no and dev.

tblSurvey: has foreign key sur_ans_id.

Therefore, when the user selects yes, no etc. from the combo box , it is supposed to pull the id (1 or
2 or 3 or 4) based on the choice and update table Survey's sur_ans_id.

Currently when the choice is made, it duplicates values (even though i have for my row source for the
combo box: SELECT DISTINCT sur_answer FROM Survey_Answer in the Survey_Answer Table.

My Main code to update I have put in On change under the combo box property is:

Public Sub DoSQL()

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Dim strSQL As String

strSQL = "UPDATE Survey " & _
"SET Survey.sur_ans_id = (SELECT Survey_Answer.sur_ans_id FROM Survey_Answer WHERE cbosur_answer.Column(0) = Survey_Answer.sur_answer)" & _
"WHERE Survey_Answer.sur_ans_id = Survey.sur_ans_id AND Survey.que_id = Question.que_id"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub

However, this is not working: I know it has something to do with my BOUND COLUMN count property but that is mostly where I am stuck. I cannot
update Survey.sur_ans_id properly. I understand the concept of BOUND COLUMN but i don't know how to apply it to my SQL statement.

I am sorry for the long narration but any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

and a text field: txtYear

cboMonth has values: Jan-Dec
cboDay has values: 1-31

After selecting the combo boxes and entering the year, I want the result to be displayed in a text box, with the format of Long Date.

How is this accomplished?

Thanks for any help!

Text Boxes Auto Fill After Combo Box Update?

Jul 13, 2015

GOAL: select the IC number from the combo box and have 5 text boxes auto fill.

I have a table made for the IC number drop down. The columns represent the fields that need to be auto filled.

Making some kind of query to link the combo box entry to the text boxes? Some VBA where the control source is equal to my query? I have tried changing the text box control source to equal columns from my drop down but that did not work.

NOTE: the blue font in the first image represents the text boxes that need to auto fill when I select the IC number from the drop down. The second image is my table from which my combo box is generated. The acronyms are for the two tests on this form.

Update Text Boxes Based On Date Selected In A Combo Box

Sep 12, 2006

I have a form that our operators use to do their hourly quality audits on. This is getting to be a huge burden on them because right now, they enter the date, the week ending date, the month every time they have to do an entry, and for me it is a nightmare because they can still enter the wrong information. So, what I was wondering is if there is a way that I can have them select the date from a combo box (easy enough), but from that, have the week ending date and the month fields automatically update as well. Any advice? I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much!!!!

Combo Boxes And Looking Up Tables

Dec 5, 2004

Hello All,

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.

Please Help!!!!

Combo Boxes To Filter N Show Tables

Oct 25, 2005

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.

Tables :: Corresponding Data In Combo Boxes And Subforms?

Sep 27, 2013

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?

Tables :: Exporting Combo Boxes To Excel

Jul 3, 2014

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?

Dependent Combo Boxes With Fields From Different Tables

May 16, 2012

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".

Tables :: Table Structure For Cascading Combo Boxes

Jul 19, 2014

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]

More Than Two Combo Boxes In A Form

Jan 28, 2005

Hello to everyone!

I have a serious issue to solve and I would like to ask for your help, as I just don't seem to know how and where to start from.

I need to make a database that will have 2 tables, say tbl_item and tbl_offer. The items table will have different cardboard dimensions and other characteristics (width, height, color, photo, price etc) while the tbl_offer will have different combinations of clients' cardboard requests.

The workflow is:

A client comes and asks for:

- two pieces of cardboard of 120x100 cm
- five pieces of cardboard of 135x90 cm
- one piece of cardboard of 110x125 cm

I want to be able to enter the client's request in a form and the form will do 2 things:

1. Store the clients request as a record in the table tbl_offer (for current or future referrence)
2. Create a report (out of the above record) that will be printed out and given to the client (but I suppose that's easy...)

Now tbl_item has different types of cardboard (their code names) along with different dimensions and price for each, for example:

Type|Width|Height|Price
----------------------------
001 | 120 | 100 | 10
001 | 135 | 190 | 12
001 | 110 | 125 | 11
001 | 110 | 100 | 16
001 | 150 | 100 | 12
002 | 165 | 170 | 17
002 | 140 | 105 | 10
002 | 140 | 130 | 18
002 | 170 | 130 | 18


The problems are

1. I don't know exactly how I can create a form (say frm_offer) that will give me the possibility to add many different cardboard types and save them as one offer to the tbl_offer. What I would like is to choose from a combobox (or any other similar function) the type (say 002) and by this selection a second combobox would be filled only with the available Width dimensions for this type (165, 140, 170). By choosing what I want from the width combobox, a third combobox would be available that would give me the available height dimensions for this width (if for example I chose Type 002 and Width 140, the last combobox would give me two choices, 105 and 130). After choosing the Height I want, I would fill in a text box of how many pieces the client wants and the form would also fill automatically the cost of all the pieces for that dimension (by taking the price/item from the tbl_item perhaps?). If 1 piece then it should say i.e. 18 for the 140x130 piece, if 10 pieces it should say 180. Finally, I want to add the photo of the cardboard automatically (pls note that same type of cardboards share the same photo) not at the form but at the report to be printed.

I have already looked in the Access FAQs section of the forum for the combobox techniques but I can't understand how I can apply them to three (or more) comboboxes plus the photo.

I can use Access only when little/no programming is required, and I am very much afraid that all the above will require a great deal of it, so I apologise in advance for my non-knowledge of programming :(

2. How do you think would be suitable to split all this data to tables? Is my thinking correct (2 tables, tbl_item and tbl_offer) or would you suggest something better? Will the tbl_offer get a lot of data that way? Mind you also that every once a year there is the need of updating the cardboards' prices (all will rise/fall at the same percentage) and, furthermore, we are talking for about approx. 100 different types of cardboards, each with about 15 different dimension combinations.

I am not sure if I had to post this message to the Tables section of the forum or here but I think here is better as the main problem is the form part.


Thank you all in advance and my apologies once again for the low level of my programming skills :(

Cont Form With Combo Boxes

I have a continous form that once the combo box filters are selected, shows the applicable records. Included in records, I've put a bound combo box that allows the user to fill in that particular field. This works with the first record but when you attempt to select the other records, all the combo boxes disappear. What am I doing wrong here??

Multiple Combo Boxes On The Form

Jul 17, 2006

Hi,

I need help in the following 2 problems:

I have two combo boxes on the form and print button.
In one combo box showing numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5.
Other combo box showing logical operator =,<,>
User is going to select from one combo box logical operator and from other number "means class field".
Print button prints the report. Report is based on the query.
In the query in criteria line I put the code
[FORMS]![MAINFORM]![CMB_CLASS]
It works for one combo box. Problem is to get criteria from second combo box or concatenate the both criteria’s. In query criteria line it should show like <2 or =3 or what ever user is selecting.

Second problem is in the same line. Three text boxes and 2 combo boxes showing "OR" and "AND" For example in one text box user enters last_name and then he select "OR", second text box enter city and then he select "AND" from second combo box and third text box enter department. After selection he is going to click the print button to print the report.

I really appreciate if anyone knows the solution or they used this type of thing in there application.

Thanks

Autofill From Many Combo Boxes In One Form

Sep 14, 2006

Hi all! :D
I'm trying to make a form to autofill with customer data (from a database), with 4 columns (= 4 customers). Each column contains on top a combo box and below 5 text boxes with address, phone etc.
So i created a form and placed a combo-box (from wizard) with the option "Find a record on my form based on the value i selected in my combo box".
The problem is that this one combo box controls all the text boxes. Even if i create an other one, it still controls all of them.

So i'd like to ask: How can i link a combo box, to autofill specific textboxes?:confused:

Thanks... :)

Combo Boxes And Queries Again - Two On A Form

Mar 4, 2005

I have re-written this question as I think I managed to cause confusion!

(I really do need help!) My problem involves three tables. The first table is NAMES with an auto-number key field called NamesID.

The second table is a list of Dance Classes, called CLASSES again with an auto-number key field called ClassesID.

The third table is a list of MEMBERS in each dance class.

Obviously, the MEMBERS can belong to many CLASSES, and each of the CLASSES can consist of many MEMBERS.



My aim is to add a new record in MEMBERS by using a ComboBox containing records from the NAMES table.

On the form, I have a combo-box which shows me the list of CLASSES

(ComboClasses). I click on the class.

I then click on the NAMES combo-box, click on a name and want it to appear in the table of MEMBERS for the class shown in the CLASSES combo-box.

The problem

I am selecting the name using “ Select * From NAMES where Names.NamesID=[Forms]![FormName]![ComboNames] (supplied by supersubra) but how do I get the ClassesID into MEMBERS record.

At the moment, if I add a name that member appears in every class, or I have to manually insert the ClassID.

Filtering Combo Boxes Within A Form

Jul 5, 2006

I have a form that we are creating to issue project numbers. We have about 80 different clients. I have set up a combo box for the client name, where we can choose the client from the drop down menu. We want the form to filter according to the client name that you choose. For example, if you pick Lawrence as the client name, the next combo box is the project name and I want it to only show the project names that have been assigned to Lawrence in the past. Can someone please help me on how to do this and if it is even possible at all? Thank you so much for your help!! I have been wrestling with this for about a week and a half now.

Using Multiple Combo Boxes In One Form

Jan 18, 2012

I made a form from a "CS-PG1-PG2" table. then i added a subform that contains these 3 fields plus some more information. What I'm trying to do is to insert in the main form 3 combo boxes:

CS (discount group): not to be linked/synchronized with the other two combos;
PG1 (product group);
PG2 (product group2): it must show the filtered results from PG1 combo box.

As long as I insert the CS combo box, everything is fine. Whenever i add the other two combo boxes, or just the PG1 combo box, then the two of them conflict and i get zero records.

All i want to do is to add these 3 combos and give an option to filter the results by CS or PG, plus give some sort of hierarchy order between the PG1 and the PG2.
