Updating My Combo Options
Jan 4, 2006
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?

I am having an issue with a combo box on a form with the following query. It works exactly as it should, but unfortunatly, I need a little more.
cboASC is off a table, cboQCode is from values, If I don't fill 1 of the combo boxes I get a blank record (just fields).
What I need is an option to choose all Primary Locators and/or all Qcodes for a general report instead of a local report.
SELECT CallsEntered.[Work Order Nbr], CallsEntered.[Date Entered], CallsEntered.[Time Entered], CallsEntered.[Primary Locator Code] AS [ASC], CallsEntered.Headend, CallsEntered.Node, CallsEntered.[Grid Id], CallsEntered.[Q Code], CallsEntered.[Problem Code 01], CallsEntered.[Primary Finding Code], CallsEntered.[Primary Solution Code], CallsEntered.[Cancel Code], CallsEntered.[Scheduled Date], CallsEntered.[Wo Status], CallsEntered.[Date CheckIn], CallsEntered.[Assigned Installer], Calendar.Week, Calendar.Year
FROM Calendar INNER JOIN CallsEntered ON Calendar.Date = CallsEntered.[Date Entered]
WHERE (((CallsEntered.[Date Entered]) Between [Forms]![frmServiceCalls]![txtStartDate] And [Forms]![frmServiceCalls]![txtEndDate]) AND ((CallsEntered.[Primary Locator Code])=[Forms]![frmServiceCalls]![cboASC]) AND ((CallsEntered.[Q Code])=[Forms]![frmServiceCalls]![cboQCode]));
Your time and help is appreciated.

I have a form with two cascading combo boxes. The options available in the second box depend on what is selected from the first.
Some of the selections which can be made in the first box do not have any options to be selected in the second box and so it currently just pops down empty.
Is there a way that I can make the second box "greyed out" if there are no options for it?
Thanks,
Gary

I just learned about Access 2007 since two days ago. I was assigned to do a database on the competency test records for my company.
I currently have 2 tables: tblCompetencyRecord and tblSections.
In tblSections, I have sectionname and sectionhead. PK is the sectionname.
I created a form from tblCompetencyRecord.
I have employee name, employee number, position, section, section head, test period, status and remarks on my form (like wise in my tblCR).
Now, I want to get Section field (combo box) to auto fill the Section Head field. I've searched high n low (i think), but i just couldn't figure it out.

I'm trying to use a cascading combo box to filter the options that can be entered into a second combo box.
In frmBabies, a Mode of Delivery is selected from 8 options. 4 of these are "normal" deliveries and 4 are caesarean sections.
A second combo box selects the Indication for Operative Delivery. The table tblIndOpDel contains options for normal as well as caesareans. I would like to filter the indications so that the user cannot enter an indication for normal delivery for a caesarean section.
Both tblIndOpDel and tblDelMode have a foreign key to tblDelModeCat, which categories deliveries as normal or caesarean.
I'm stuck on how to proceed from here. Sample database attached.

What I am trying to do is create a master table which references the every other table.But the primary key references another primary key.I can get the combo box to display all the options, buy shows options already selected for other records.in other words...
I have 4 reference IDs from table A.
(ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4)
Master_Table has a combobox to select between the IDs.
if record 1 has ID_1
Record 2's combobox will show all 4 IDs
If I only have 1 ID that can be put into record 4, it's combobox still
displays all 4 IDs.
What I want is: If ID3 is selected for record 1, it wont be displayed in the comboboxes for the other records.

I am new to MS Access. So I am making a database for an automobile warehouse. When a new car arrives at the warehouse, it is allocated a specific parking slot (using a combo box available on the 'New Arriving Car' form).
However, once a specific slot has been allotted, the end-user should not be able to allot the same parking slot to other arriving cars, until the original car has left the warehouse so that the parking slot becomes available once again. Currently, the parking slot combo box shows all parking slots whereas it is supposed to display only unoccupied parking slots. How can I enforce this? (Note that there is a separate form called 'Exiting Car', which is filled when a car is leaving the warehouse).
Fyi, each car is referred to by a unique 17 digit code - so this is the primary key. Also, there are 120 parking slots available in all, with the slot identifiers ranging from A1, A2...A12 to J1, J2..J12 (10 x 12 = 120).

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 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 am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.

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.

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 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
Turbojohn

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.

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.

I am learning access on my own, so please bear with me.
I am using Access 2000.
I have a form with a combo box. I use this form to enter data into the database. The combo box selections are from a separate table. If the required entry is not in the drop down menu selections from the table, the user needs to type in the proper selection. If this happens I want the table driving the combo box dropdown to be automatically updated with the new entry so that the data will appear in the drop down menu selections the next time. How is the best way of accomplishing this. Thanks for any answers and examples.

I have two tables and their associated forms. Agent Firm and Agent Person. I have created a one (Agent Firm) to many (Agent Person) relationship because a Firm can have many Persons (not vice versa).
I have also created a combo box autofill so that some of the information from the Agent Firm can be posted on the Agent Person.
Query one: I tried using text for the AutoFirm ID because each firm's name is unique. However, when I tried to see what happened if the firm changed its name, still having a unique value, I was not allowed to. Why? and can I over-rule this? For the time being I have used an autonumber as an ID, but I feel that is inefficient.
Query two: I have set up a combo-box, which works, using the following:
Private Sub cboAgentFirmID_Change()
Me.txtAddress1.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(2)
Me.txtAddress2.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(3)
Me.txtAddress3.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(4)
Me.txtTown.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(5)
Me.txtPostcode.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(6)
End Sub
I originally had a first line Me.txtAgentFirm.Value = Me.cboAgentFirmID.Column(1) but deleted it because the AgentFirm is being entered in the AgentFirmID box (why??)
AgentFirmID, which is the autonumber primary key (see query 1) in Agent Firm is the link between the two tables in the relationship.
Query three: A major feature should be that if an AgentFirm changes its name, or address, phone number, etc this is reflected immediately across all related entries. And it does not happen: each one has be updated manually.
(Imagine if a bank changed its name and had to alter each account manually!) How do I make it work as I am sure it is meant to?

updating my table when I use cascading combo boxes in my form.What is happening is that my table is being populated by the xxxxID column vice from the xxxxName column that is being used from that specific table.
here is my visual basic code that I am using to determine what the subsequent combo box will display.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cboPlanktonID_AfterUpdate()
' Set the Family combo box to be limited by the selected Plankton Type
Me.cboFamilyID.RowSource = "SELECT tblFamily.FamilyID, tblFamily.FamilyName FROM tblFamily " & _
" WHERE OrderID = " & Nz(Me.cboPlanktonID) & _
" ORDER BY FamilyName"
[code]...
Example of the Combo box Row Source is: SELECT [tblWaterbody].[WaterbodyID], [tblWaterbody].[WaterbodyName] FROM tblWaterbody;
My Control Source is PlanktonAnalysis.WaterbodyName
When I fill in the form with the data, The Waterbody name is visable for selection (example: I see "Lake Lillinonah" in the cascading combo box, But when I save the record in the PlanktonAnalysis Table I get a number in the WaterbodyName column vice the name of the waterbody

I have a tab control with a Counsellor Training tab on it inmy form frmCounsellors. The issue I am having is that when I select a training type from the drop down in the sub form on the tab control on the counsellor training tab and then go to a new record of the main form, not on the sub form, the training type I selected on the form stays the same. If I change it on the second record, it stays at whatever I changed it to, even if I return to the first record it stays at what I changed it to as well.
How do I get it to stay with the counsellor and have it zero out for a new counsellor and it to allow me to enter something different for the new counsellor then save it for that counsellor?I just realised, I am having the same issue with the location combo box but I am sure I could apply a fix to both boxes if I knew one.
