Updating Another Field Upon A Selection From A Combo Box

Feb 28, 2008

Hi,

Im trying to get one of combo boxes to update a field automatically.. There are two choices in this combo box "Gatwick" and "Woking" what i need is when one is selected the JobNo field will update itself to GWO-(the first Unused JobNo) Ive used some VBA to make atleast the GWO- or WWO- appear and it works, but i have no clue as to how to get the next unused order number to appear after it.

This is what i have so far:

Private Sub JobLocation_AfterUpdate()

If Me.JobLocation = "Gatwick" Then

Me.JobNo = "GW0-"
Else
Me.JobNo = "WWO-"
End If

End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Marc.

Forms :: Nomination Form - Combobox Selection List Not Updating After Each Selection

Oct 27, 2014

I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).

The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.

The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.

I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.

This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:

SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));

The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:

SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));

The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"

How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.

Sample of the database has been attached.

Help With Combo Box Selection Being Determined By Entry In Another Field

Feb 7, 2008

first of all, i'm new to access. the only experience i have with it is reading the "microsoft office inside out", access section, and doing some research on the web.

i work for a school district and my boss has asked me to make a database with all our assets. i used to have everything in excel, but he prefers access, so here i am. what i'm wanting help with is making a combo box that lists manufacturers like hp, dell, etc., and then having the next field show a list of models depending on what was selected in the manufacturers field. so if i select dell, i want only dell models to show up in the combo list for models.

i can make the combo lists, but i don't know how to make it so that the entry in one field affects the list in another field. i've tried putting in lookup values, i've tried doing it with expressions in queries, and a few other things. i've tried searching google, and the forums and i've found things that are kind of similar to what i want, but doesn't do exactly what i want. so here i am...is there a simple way to do this? this isn't required of me, but now it's driving me crazy because that's the way i'd like to have it but i can't figure it out.

i'd appriciate any help with this.
thanks.

Populating A Text Field From A Combo Box Selection.

Apr 28, 2005

I have a combo where the list is populated with a bit of VB code to create a two field list. When the user selects the item they want from the list it displays the item in the combo box and should populate a text box in the same row with the value from the second column.

This combo is part of an orders subform and the user is selecting a product from the list which displays the product_name and the product_id.

The problem is that the product_id is not filled in and access returns the following error:
Run-time error ‘3101’:
The Microsoft Jet database cannot find a record in the table ‘product_table’ with key matching field(s) product_id.

This is the VB code that populates the list :
[code]
Private Sub comboCatagory_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim sProd_description As String
sProd_description = "SELECT products_table.product_id, products_table.prod_description " & _
"FROM products_table " & _
"WHERE products_table.prod_catagoryID = " & "'" & Me.comboCatagory_ID.Column(0)
Me.comboProd_description.RowSource = sProd_description
Me.comboProd_description.Requery
End Sub
[end code]

What am I doing wrong?

Thx
Kev.

Field Values Based On User Selection In Combo

Dec 9, 2005

Hello,

I'm stuck! I want to create a form which has a combo box where you select
someone's name, and their address appears in another text box on the same form. The names and addresses are in a table called "cardholders".

I'm doing separate combos for first name, surname cos I think that's the only
way you can do it.

The fields in the table are credit_add, credit_name & credit_surname. The combos are called "cardholder name" "cardholder surname" etc. This is the code in the text box where I want the address to appear:-

=DLookUp("[credit_add]","cardholders","[credit_name] = '" & [cardholdername] & "' And [credit_surname] = " & [cardholdersurname])

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Forms :: Multiple Field Population On Combo Box Selection

Nov 4, 2013

I'm building a test registration form, and I want to populate 2 additional fields based on the TestID ComboBox selection. This same TestID table has a Requirement and Expected result field, that I want to display for the end user, to make sense of the test in question. Multiple fields in the ComboBox does not work since you cannot select a single testID; you can click on the relevant testID, but the table remains in view, rather than displaying only the relevant testID.

Forms :: Populating Only Key Field Value Form Combo Box Selection?

Aug 10, 2015

In the Contacts Table there are two fields, the unique Contact ID key field numeric and the Contact Name. Like this:

Contact_ID; Name
1; Tom
2; Dick
3; Harry

In a form named "Selection" there is a Combo box that references the Contact table, and lists just the three names in the drop down (showing the Contact_ID is optional - I'm fine either way):

Tom
Dick
Harry

When the selection is made it will populate the field Contact_Ref the table called SelectedName.

Question: When the user selects the name I'd like the data populated in the SelectedName table to be the Contact_ID Value, and not the Name, so if Harry is selected the Value "3" would be saved.

Forms :: Value To Put In Textbox For Field In Same Table As Combo Box Selection

Jul 8, 2014

I have a form frmCrisisSupportWorkers with a tab control on the form. On the first tab, Personal Info there is a combo box called cboLocation. It is next to the Town/City.

I have a text box that updates the postcode after the selection is made below it but that is as the post codes are stored in the combo box and I just put the column for the postcode in the control source of the text box.

I can't do that for state as I have it stored in another table and use a numeric identifier to show which state is selected.

I want to have a text box below that auto updates the state once a town is selected but I can't seem to get it working.

Forms :: Auto Populate Date In Field Based On Selection In Combo Box

Mar 11, 2015

I'm creating a form that when the user selects the following categories in the same combo box (Date Received, Date Reviewed, Date kitted, In Work, Complete) it auto populates dates in the respective fields. As I mentioned, it's only one combo box. The dates will be spread out, so the user will change the combo box selection based on when these events occur. I already have a field for each category both on the table and form. Also, I do have multiple tables for other parts of data, but these categories all fall into the same table.

Populate Combo Box Based On Selection In Another Combo Box (Access 2010)

Jul 11, 2012

I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.

What I want to do:
1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag")
2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool")
3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"

I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.

Updating Combo Box Contents Dependant On Other Combo Box

Nov 15, 2004

I have created a database that is used to track various programs that our organisation runs, and keeps a record of which Division the program is in.

at the moment I have a main form which has a combo box that lists Divisions, then I have a subform that has a combo box on it that lists the purchasers.

what I would like to do, is to have the Purchasers list update when a Division is selected in that main form, as depending on which Division is chosen the contents of the Purchasers list changes drastically.

Is anyone able to offer some assistance?

Combo Box Populated By Selection In Other Combo Box

Jul 13, 2013

I have a form with a number of combo boxes to select criteria in order to narrow down a list. A selection in any combo box should narrow your options in the other combo boxes.

For example:

Combo 1 is a list of all the states
Combo 2 is a list of all the cities

Selecting NY in combo 1 will change the list in combo 2 so that it only shows cities in NY

Or, selecting Rochester in combo 2 first will edit the list for combo 1 to show only states that have a city named Rochester

The point in me doing this is to be able to narrow down a list of over 230000 different but similar items by varying criteria in order to track inventory and value.

Scrolling through the whole list, typing criteria in manually each time and building new queries and reports every time I need to find something specific are not options.

I just need the combo boxes in a form to set the criteria to filter out the list in real time. Each selection made needs to narrow your options for the next selection.

Updating Combo Box Value Based On Another Combo Box Value

Aug 7, 2014

I have a table in which I have following fields:- RegionCountryVendorName

I want to create a form which will filter the data based on selection in previous form. (I dont want user to make any changes on the form i.e. Add,Edit or Delete) Hence i have kept all the fields on the form as "unbound".In my form I have CboRegion , CboCountry...For CboRegion i have created a select query which will filter data and shows me unique value. This part is working absolutely fine.

For CboCountry i have created parameter query based on selection made by user in CboRegion. The query name is QrySelectCountry which is showing under Row Source property.When i run the form and i select item in CboRegion the data in CboCountry is popping up correctly, but when i change the value in CboRegion the data is not updating in CboCountry. (If i hit F5 it is working fine but not updating automatically).

I tried afterupdate and change event of CboRegion by putting Me.Cbocountry.Requery or DoCmd.OpenQuery "QrySelectCountry" but still the data in CBoCountry is not updating.what needs to be done so that my fields will pop up data automatically.
