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.

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?

I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done
2)If it can be done, how can I do it?

Hi everyone,
I have two combo boxes on the same form bound to a table. I want the contents of the next combo box to change based on the previous combo selection e.g
cboContinent cboCountry
Africa Zambia
Africa Congo
Africa South africa
Europe England
Europe Holland
If I choose Africa in cboContinent, I want to see only Zambia, South Africa and Congo under cboCountry and if I choose Europe I want to see only England and Holland
Thanks
Humphrey

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'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.

Let's assume we have 3 tables:
Order_Category (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type_Name) with 2 records:
1, Minor
2, Major
Order_Type (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type) with 4 records:
1, Book
1, Pencil
2, Car
2, House
Orders (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type, value) with 2 records:
1, NULL, NULL
1, NULL, NULL
2, NULL, NULL
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID.
2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type
FROM Order_Type
INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID
WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).

Thanks in advance for your help.
I would like to set up rules/constraints such that the value selected in combo box A determines the available values in combo box B. For example, "Combo box A" is bound to the [PartnerType] field and "Combo box B" is bound to the [PartnerRole] field. Let's say that the two choices in Combo Box A are "LLC", "LP", and "Corporation". There are 5 possible choices in Combo Box B: "X", "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U". If a user selects "LP" in Combo Box A, I would like Combo Box B to only show choices "X" and "Y". And if a user selects "LLC", only choices "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U".
Similarly, I would like to set this up so that Combo Box B is not initially visible--it becomes visible when a user selects "LLC" or "LP". If a user selected "Corporation", Combo Box B would remain hidden.

Hi all!
It's been a while since I've used Access, and I seem to have forgotten this.
I have a form which allows entry of Borrower's details. I have 2 combo boxes on the form.
They are:
cboBorrName
cboLoanSN
Once the user selects the name from the cboBorrName, I want the cboLoanSN to display all loans associated with the Borrower so that they can select the correct loan and add repayment details accordingly.
I have added the following SQL statement as the record source of cboLoanSN
Code:SELECT * from tblBorrower WHERE tblBorrower.fldLoanSN=[Forms]![frmBorrower]![cboBorrName]
I have also added the following code in the After Update event of cboBorrName
Code:Me.cboLoanSN.Requery
However, it doesn't work.
Can someone please help me out?
Thanks a bunch!

I have a main form that filters data in a subform based on selections via combo box users make on the main form.
So I have the 'department' and 'manager's name'. If someone selects 'Human Resources' from 'department' combo box, then I only want to see the managers that are in the Human Resources departement when I drop down the combo box for 'manager's name'. Currently I'm seeing all the managers and a user can select a manager that is not in human resources and get no data returned. I prefer for him to get a list of those that are in that department only. The source of the combo box is a query.
I got it! Found here: [URL] ....

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 two comboboxes on my form one 'cboMake' and the other 'cboModel'. Both of their values are stored in individual columns ('Make' and 'Model') in the same table 'tblStock'. What I would like to achieve is when I select a value from 'cboMake' that 'cboModel' will filter it's data values to only display Models that are linked to Make i.e. if I select Make Logitech I would like it to only display the following results for Model: 'K120', 'K200', 'G500', 'G502' etc. and not display any of the other values associated with another Make.

Hi,
Can anybody help me please, i suspect that this problem has a simple answer but a search on the forum didn't really answer it.
I have developed a Database for my brother who runs his own business. Within this database he has a number of Tables including one for maintaining / recording his clients details i.e. Company Name, Point of Contact, Telephone number etc etc. and all this information is recorded via a form.
Part of this database is to produce and record details of estimates, invoices, VAT charges etc. In order to generate a new Invoice or Estimate, i have created another form which has a Combo box on it linked to the Customers Table to allow the invoice or estimate to be created for that customer - still with me?
My problem is this - if i add a new customer, their details do not appear in the combo box on the create invoice / estimate form unless i close the database and then restart it. How do i make the combo box include the new customer details without having to close / reopen the database?
I have played around with requery but with no joy. The database works fine but this last simple(?) problem is bugging me.
Any help / advice greatly welcome and appreciated.
Alan

I just added a column to my table upon which a cascading combo box is built. When a name is selected from the combo box, 2 related fields populate. I want it now to populate a 3rd field. So I added the column to the table to input the data into that 3rd field, and adjusted the column widths and count in the combo box. However, when I indicate the control source of the 3rd field as the corresponding new column from the combo box, nothing populates in my 3rd field. I've tested it by designating one of the previuosly exisiting combo box columns and it will populate the data, but it seems to not be recognising my new column. I've also verified the properties of the new field to ensure that it is visible. What went wrong?

Hi,
I have a form with various fields, some of which are normal data entry fields, others dynamically updating combo boxes.
My first field is a date field which defaults to today's date, the field following this is a growing combo box which requires some narrative to be entered. I have set up this combo box so as when data is entered into the combo box, the combo box will store it, allowing that entry to be used again. I achieve this with the Got Focus property Me.Refresh.
An error occurs when the user wishes to change the date from the default to another date. When I tab to the narrative field, Access informs me that the error occurs with the Me.Refresh property of the narrative field. I want to keep this property to allow me to update the combo box entries but I can't keep allowing this error to occur.
Does anyone know how I could solve this problem/get around it?
Thanks

I have a form that has both a Make and Model field and I am trying to set it up so that when the Make is selected or changed the Model Query filter updates.
I have read other threads regarding this matter but am still unable to get it to work. The Form pulls from one table (tblPCInfo) while the query pulls form another (tlkpProductsServer). Also the cmoMake ComboBox pulls from table (tlkpProductsCategoryServer)
Model Query:
SELECT tlkpProductsServer.ProductID, tlkpProductsServer.ProductName, tlkpProductsServer.ProductCategoryID
FROM tlkpProductsServer
ORDER BY tlkpProductsServer.ProductName;
I want to add a WHERE parameter to filter for the current ProductCategoryID which comes from what is selected in the Make Combo Box
Code I have Tried:
Private Sub cmoMake_AfterUpdate()
Dim strRowSource As String
strRowSource = "SELECT qry_Model.ProductName FROM qry_Model WHERE qry_Model.ProductCategoryID=frm_frmPCInfo.cmoMake"
Me.cmoModel.RowSource = strRowSource
End Sub
I am not sure if this is enough info to go with and I just started learning VBA so I know this is probably a mess.

I have 2 combo boxes. 1 is year, the other is company. Let's called them 'cboYear' and 'cboCompany'.
The fields inside the combo boxes are from tables called 'Year' and 'Company'. I select from a drop down menu and populate a table called 'Audit Records'.
I would like to create a form that basically does this :
I select a year, then the cboCompany refreshes and shows me ONLY the relevant companies that have that specific year.
How do I do that? The problem is that when I select a year, the 2nd combo box shows ALL the companies (unfiltered).
p/s :I've tried reading webpages, did not help, only confused. I am relatively new to access.

I am trying to make a combo box that is controlled by the value in a previous combo box. The first combo box lists genres for games (e.g. RPG, Sports, Action) and the second, when necessary, will expand on this. For example, if Sports is selected in the first, the second would display a list of sports (Football, Hockey etc.).
The following items from my database are relevant to this question:
tblGames
GameGenre
GameSubGenre
tblGenres
Genre
tblSubgenres
Subgenre
SubgenreGenre
qrySubgenres
tblGames uses a lookup wizard to assign the tblGenres list to the GameSubGenre field. Also, tblSubgenres uses a lookup wizard to get the value for SubGenreGenre from tblGenres.
I built the following select query using the expression builder:
SELECT tblSubgenres.Subgenre, tblSubgenres.SubgenreGenre
FROM tblSubgenres
WHERE (([SubgenreGenre]=Games!GameGenre));
When I run the query, it asks me to enter a value for Games!GameGenre. If I enter a correct value, it lists just the sub-items I want. However, if I set GameSubGenre in tblGames as a combo box that looks up from qrySubgenres, the combo box will remain blank always.
What should I do to get this working properly?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi all,
I have created a form to enter downtime information using the fields from downtime table (as follows)
tblDowntimes
fldDowntimeID (PK)
DateOccured
MaterialCode
ShiftID (FK)
LineMachineID (FK)
DTCategoryID (FK)
DTReasonID (FK)
However on the form, LineMachine is taken from the tblLineMachine where LineID and MachineID are FKs. This has a large list of machines as one line can have many machines and a machine may appear on more than one line
So on the form, i would like to select the LineMachineID by inserting fldLineID (which would be a combo box) where the user could select which line e.g. Line1 and then the combo box for the LineMachineID would only display the relevant machines for the entered line instead of all the machines for every line.
I managed to achieve this,but I am experiencing a problem where if, in the Line combo box, i choose a different Line e.g. Line2, the LineMachineID does not then display the machines on Line2, but keeps showing the machines for the line I originally selected (Line 1).
How do I get the LineMachineID combo box to update every time a different line is chosen in the LineID combo box?
Any assistance much appreciated!!
thanx all,
Keji

Hi,
I am using a combo box in my form. It is a growing combo box allowing new entries to be entered to create a growing list.
When new entries are made to the combo box list they are only displayed when I quit the form and then return to it. Is there any way I could allow the combo box list to grow dynamically rather than having to get the user to quit the form and then return to it?
Many Thanks

Hi all
I have been nutting out this problem but have been unable to find a solution, even my learned colleague is at a loss to help. This is an data update query using combo boxes and forms.
I have 2 databases, Data and App, I have linked 2 tables, Main and Supervisor from the Data.mdb to the App.mdb. Supervisor has 2 fields ID and Name. Main has multiple fields but is linked to Supervisor by the ID field. I have a query that gets details from the Main Table and this is entered into a form. I deleted the SupervisorID text box and inserted a combo box using the wizard, it gets its data from a query that gets details from the Supervisor table showing the Supervisor name, the ID field in the dropdown is hidden. The combo box selection is held in the SupervisorID of the Main table.
What I want to do is change the Supervisor name using the combo box however I am unable to select another name from the dropdown list.
I have tried changing the Data Entry property of the form to Yes, this did not work. Allow edits is set to yes. I have tried adding another combo box which gets the data straight from the Supervisor table but I have the same problem.
Can anyone help, we think it is a simple property setting but all we have tried has failed to date. Thanks in advance.
