Thanks so much for your help in advance. I’m working on a Form1 that has a combo box with Row Source coming from a query Just like:
NAME ITEM_ID
Smith 10011
Smith 10012
Scott 10022
Clark 10015
Clark 10016
Now, I want to be able to update the Item_ID value to text boxes txt_SN1 and txt_SN2 once I click on the combo box and select the name “Smith” then show 10011 in txt_SN1 and 10012 in txt_SN2. I’m not sure if this can be done with record set or just with column values from the query.
Can someone help me with this problem? Your help will be highly appreciated.
I'm trying to have the user select an item from a combo box which gets its values from a table with multiple columns. Once something is selected in the combo box the form will auto-update the adjacent text box to a value in the same row (different column). The combo box is called 'Media' and the text box is called 'Tape Cost'. When you select a type of tape in the combo box the adjacent text box should populate a value determined by the second column of the table. Instead I'm getting a message that the, "Method or data member is not found" and it highlights the red text below.
Here is the code I'm using:
Private Sub Media_AfterUpdate() Me.Tape Cost = Media.Column(2)
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.
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!!!!
I'm an extreme newbie, I do not know access very well, nor do I know VBA, I do know PHP.
I have a for in access that has 2 user input fields, one for prodid one for shipid. I have a combo box that upon entering data into the previous 2 fields, it does a query against an MsSQL database looking for a record that has both. In any case there will only be 2 outcomes, either 1 record, or null. I would like to have that same combo box automatically use the result as it's value so that users don't have to check the box, because they won't, and so that the rest of my VBA will be able to function properly.
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237" If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
I have been creating a form, based on only one table. Here I am displaying data as text boxes and subfrom from the same table. At the beginning, I was interested in controlling the display of the data according to the combo box (in this case is the PO number). Now, I would like to add another combox box which is the year (I have a column with the date, and also I have a column that shows only the years digits in my table) Also, I have a subform that display the data from the same table specifics records that I want. It means that I want to pick the year first, and then in the combox box of po number shows only option of that year, and hence the text boxes and subforms change accordingly to the two combox boxes.
I have a combo box on my form that is retrieving its list of values from a table. After I choose a value I want to write it to another table's field. I can get this to work where it is writing to the other table's field, but when I open the form to see the field of where the information is supposed to be writen to it is not refreshing. What property on the combo box should I used to ensure that the field of the other table is instaneously updated when the combo box's value is chosen.
I have a following problem - the user selects value from a combo box (cmbPrio), if there was already a value in there, new value get added, and no further action is made. If there was no value, value is added, AND in txtDueDate date gets added (if user selected High - todays date + 5 days, if low - todays date + 10 days)
I was thinking of doing it the following way, but it doesn't work -- Value XX is not saving the data. Should it be maybe done for a different event ? And I also don't get the correct date...
Before Update If isNull(cmbPrio) then XX = 2
After Update If XX = 2 If cmbPriory.text = "High" then txtDueDate = Now + 5 If cmbPriory.text = "Low" then txtDueDate = Now + 10 End If
I have a form that displays a list of users and there programs in a sub form, I would like a combo box instead of the user ID number so that I can press on it and all the user ID's will appear, then I can select it and there details will apear. Can this be done?
I am designing a customer information form, the form has an unbound combo box showing customer names and when clicked opens the customer record.
My problem is when I enter a new record, I have a button that saves current and opens new, but when I am in the new record, the customer I just added previously is not showing up on the unbound control, only when I close the form completely and re-open it.
Is there a code to update the unbound combo box when you click to go to new record.
I want to update a field (field1) in each record of a recordset (qryUpdate)
I got the following code (in green) working fine - so far so good. I actually need to update the field from a selection from an unbound combo box. This looks up a table with two fields Period ID (autonumber PK) and a text field called Quarter. I've tried various combinations including the code in red and code such as "rst![field1] = Me.cboPeriod" "rst![field1] = Me.cboPeriod.Column(0).value" etc
but can't get it to work. It has to be something simple but I can't see it.
Private Sub cboPeriod_AfterUpdate() Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryUpdate") Do Until rst.EOF
If IsNull(rst![field1]) Then rst.Edit rst![field1] = 5 rst.Update End If
rst.MoveNext Loop End Sub
Private Sub cboPeriod_AfterUpdate() Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryUpdate")
Do Until rst.EOF
If IsNull(rst![field1]) Then rst.Edit [rst![field1] = Me.cboPeriod.Column(0) rst.Update End If
Hello again all... Today's problem is as follows.... I have an "after update" combo box that is coded as "CurrentDb.Execute "Uno", dbFailOnError". I have an update query which I am trying to have a combo box from a form input information, update a table with what the combo box was inputted with. (if you follow). In my query, I have one field as showing the "Update To:" filed as "Forms![Loc-1L]!Combo8". When I try to run the query, it works in the query if I manually type in a location, however when running it in the form, it gives me the error: "Too few parameters. Expected 1". Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Hi, Hope someone can help. What I’m trying to do is have a combo box look up values from one table and add them to another. I have used the combo box wizard to look up a value from table1 and add it to table2 but is there a way that it can lookup 2 values and add them to the second table. For instance if I had to tables like :-
Table1 First Name Last Name
Table2 First Name Last Name
Can a combo box lookup and update both fields for example if I have a combo looking up the first name can it also lookup the last name and add them to the corresponding fields in the second table but with the user only selecting the first name in the combo box.
I’m sorry if I don’t make much sense I’m new to access and fairly new to forums
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?
This is so simple but I can't seem to make it work. I've poured through about 30 posts and tried all kinds of AfterUpdate event strings to no avail. Help!
Here is the simple setup. I have one table that lists employees and their corresponding teamleader. A grouped query provides the record source for a combo box. The idea here is that you select a teamleader from the combo box and a subform updates to show all the corresponding employees. This subform is based on a simple query of all fields on the table.
i have several fields i would like automatically updating with data from a combo box. at the moment i can only update one. the combo box relates to a query on one table, the fields i want updating are on a second table. is this possible?
Hi, I am trying to update a subform by selecting a record in a combo-box that corresponds to a particular test when i select the said test i want an adjacent subform to change to the form displaying the test data in the subform window i have tried to use VBA to achieve this but so far have been unsucessful does anybody know how this can be done?
I have a problem when updating a combo box on a form. I open the form from a command button on another form (No problem) when I update the combo box on the new opened form Access acts like the record set is still opened. I tried closing the original form and even the table but I still get the same problem. If I open the form without going through the button the update works. Does anyone know hoe to correct this problem?
Hi, I am new to asp development and have been searching all through the web and books to help me but I am a little stuck and would appreciate some help please with updating a second combo box.
I am developing an online fault logging system for a school where the teachers/pupils can report a fault with any computer equipment to the technicians so they then can fix it. I have two combo boxes called ResourceType and Resource ID which are created and populated from two different tables in an Access database (I dont want to annoy you with the code but if you like I can show you)
When ResourceType combo is selected it should automatically update the ResourceID combo from a table in the database. eg. ResourceType=Laptop then ResourceID should be populated with all the entries in the DB which correspond to Laptops, i.e. Laptop001, Laptop002 etc.
ResourceType combo is populated from table tblResourceType in the Db and ResourceID is populated from table tblResourceID. This works fine when the page is first loaded but I have problems with the onChange="handleChange(this)" function for the ResourceType combo. It is :
Code:function handleChange(nSelection){var IDSelect,iCountIDSelect = document.form.ResourceID //Reset the ResourceID combo contentsfor(i=IDSelect.length; i>0;i--){ IDSelect.options[i-1] = null} //Open Database<%set db=server.createobject("adodb.connection")db.Open"DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("MCB Fault Log.mdb")dim dbaseset dbase=server.createobject("adodb.recordset")%> <%Dim iCount 'counter variablesSQl = "SELECT ResourceID from tblResource"dBase.Open sSQl , db%> //Reset Counter iCount = 0<%do while not dBase.EOF%> IDSelect.options[iCount] = new Option(<%=dBase("ResourceID")%>);//********This does not work****** //IDSelect.options[iCount] = new Option(iCount);//***HERE**This works (places the count of each record in the combobox iCount = iCount + 1; <%dBase.MoveNextloop%>} Dont worry about the SQL statement for now, I am happy just for any table to fill into the combo. Look at the //********This does not work****** line - I think I have the syntax wrong, I have looked at lots of examples on the net and I cannot find one similar to this. The line ***HERE** places the number of the count into the combo box so at least i know the the database is being accessed.
I want to limit the values in a subform using a combo box. Basically I've got a Main Form that has name field etc. Selecting a different record shows me a different entry on the subform relating to a different name but now I want to use a combo box to limit what I see in the sub form another level. Any help would be wonderful.
I have a form with two drop downs (combo box) School and Players. The first drop down I select a school. After I select the school, I go to the next drop down (combo box) and select the players I want. When I go to the second combo box (players) its has a query that runs for me. It takes what ever school I select and only gives me the players from that school. However, lets say I made a mistake and I selected the wrong school, I go back and select the right school, but when I go to players box, its shows me the players from the previous school. My questions is, how do you run the query in the form again after you have select a school? When I go to a new record to put in the information, the same thing happens to, I get the players from the school I selected the first time
