Uppercase In Lookup Combo Box
Aug 5, 2005
I would like all of the text in my database to appear in upper case. I used the > symbol in the format of all controls and in my tables also. However, on my form's lookup combos it doesn't work. When I click the dropdown it shows all selections in upper case, but after I select it turns into lower case again.
I then tried using Ucase and strConv but those don't seem to work with my combos either.
I have searched and these are all the suggestions I could find on how to do this, does anyone know another or possibly what I am doing wrong?

I have a form with a combo box (unbound) that gets its values from a table.
I also have another combo box which is supposed to get its values from a query:
SELECT Vehicle.Registration, Vehicle.Make FROM Vehicle WHERE (((Vehicle.Customer)=Forms![New Job]!Customer));
I have made the first combo box refresh/requery the second one onChange, but I get no options in the combo box.
I am pretty sure that the first combo box is Forms![New Job]!Customer. and there are matching values in the Vehicle.Customer field.
The database can be downloaded from:
http://www.tapestriesdirect.com/Garage.mdb (996KB)
or if you can unzip (who can't?!?)
http://www.tapestriesdirect.com/Garage.zip (86.1KB)
Cheers for any help

Hey guys
This is the problem,
I have 2 fields in a table. Cityand Country.
City Country
paris.......France
madrid....Spain
london....England
milan.....Italy
Rome.....Italy
ETC
Field "City" is connected to a combo box and field "country" to a textbox on the form.
I would like the user to select a city from the combo box. When this is done the textbox linked to the country field should automatically update to show the correct country. This should update without user intervention.
I would find it better to have the text box look up a value list rather than use a table for its source. the form is being used as data entry. The combobox linked to field "city" is also a value list.
Thanks in advance.

Hiya
Have just created an access 2000 database which when a user logs on to the network as herself and tries to lookup any combo boxes or click a button to run a query from a form it shows or does nothing, yet when I log on I can.
Our IT Services have looked at folder/share permissions which appear to be OK and I've not set any permissions/workgroups in the database.
Can anyone shed any light as to why this is happening please?
Thanks
Dawn

I have two tables A and B. There is a 1 to many relationship between A and B. Table A's data is controlled by FormA, Table B's data is controlled by FormB which is a subform on FormA. I already have a combo box for navigation on FormA, however I would also like to be able to have a combo box on FormB (FormA's subform) for navigation, so that when I choose an record from the subforms (FormB) combo box, FormA then jumps to the 1 record from FormA that contains the related record choosen in the SubFormB's combo box (along with the subforms choosen record on the subform) .
Kindalike the combo box on FormA, except it's a 'reverse lookup' if that makes sense. Is this at all possible, does this even make sense? :confused:

I have a small database with 3 tables.
tblBilltoCustomer
Fields - Key - BillCustID , companyname, address1, address2, city, state
tblOrders
tblCustomers
I have a form that has tblCustomers as the main form then tblOrders as a sub form.
I want to place a combo box on the form that will lookup a company name from the tblBilltoCustomer table then brin in the address1, address2, city,state , into the form for that record. But then I need that same info to print on a rpt.
I can get the lookup to work using =cboCompanyName.Column() but the addresses , city and state will not show on report
Is there any good samples of lookup fields
Any Ideas are greatly appreciated

TblCat Contains fields CatID (index) & CatText (Text)
TblType Contains field TypeID (index) , CatID (index) , and TypeText (Text)
Relationship of tbleCat.CatID (one) to tblType.CatID (many)
Forms!Input!cboCat bound to Tables!Inventory!Category
Forms!Input!cboType bound to Tables!Inventory!Type
Intent: Choice from cboCat to provide from list for entry into Inventory.Catagory plus filter list choices for cboType for entry into Inventory.Type.
cboCat :
RowSource : SELECT [tblCat].[CatText], [tblCat].[CatID] FROM tblCat;
Event:
Private Sub cboCat_AfterUpdate()
Dim xxx As String
xxx = "SELECT [tblType].[TypeID], [tblType].[CatID], [tblType].[TypeText] " & _
"FROM tblType " & _
"WHERE [CatID] = " & Me.cboCat.Value
Me.cboType.RowSource = xxx
Me.cboType.Requery
End Sub
cboType: No special RowSource or events
cboCat works fine but cboType has a popup box that asks for the Parameter value for the choice made in cboCat. ( Me.cboCat.Value ???) Where did I go wrong ??

Where MS Excel is concerned there is very little I can't do and I am now transferring that skill to MS Access and I'm stumbling on this one.
In Excel I would use the INDIRECT formula within the validation and named range to do this but in Access I'm struggling to get this to work.
I have in table TBL_NL_Structure a list of CLIENT_ID with NL_ACCOUNTS against them i.e.
CLIENT_ID....ACCOUNTS
900001.........4000
900001.........4001
900002.........4003
What I want to be able to do is in a sub form and a combo box named ACCOUNT that looks at the active CLIENT_ID and pulls into to combo box JUST the ACCOUNTS set to that CLIENT_ID example if the CLIENT_ID is 900001 is just brings in ACCOUNTS 4000 & 4001.
I can get the whole list to come in to the combo box but not a filtered list.

I have a DB that that is growing slowly. To keep it simple I have 2 tables and one form. One of the tables is a “ASSET_lookup” table. The other table (ASSETS) is the real meat and potatoes. I have a form for the assets table that will populate specific fields that are looked up based on a single combo box linked to a query from the assets_lookup table. Everything worked fine until I needed to add some additional items to the asset_lookup table.
The new “records” I added to the lookup table will not show up in the combo box after it updates (a selection is made). I did some experimenting and if I recreate after adding the new records to look up table, the combo box will show the value, but I am curious what I am missing.

I have a main form which has a button to View one of the Reports related to my primary table.The View Report works fine.On close of the Report the program returns to the Main form, and it returns to the record of the Report that was viewed with all of the data for that record showing in all of the Fields, except the Combo Box that I use to look up a record, it is blank.Other than that, the Look Up Combo Box works fine.How do I get the Look Up Combo Box to show the information for that look up field.In the On Close item for the Report I have the following code to get back to the record I want to return to.
Private Sub Report_Close()
DoCmd.OpenForm "ENLARGED PROP INFO", , , "[Name]='" & Me![Name] & "'"

Hi All,
How can I report on records which have uppercase values in a record. The data I have in the table is a mixture of Titlecase and UPPERCASE. I need to report on the uppercase values.
Thanks,

I am as new to MS Access as you can possibly get so please forgive such a simple question. I created a table in Design View. On one of the fields in the table I want to restrict the values that the user is allowed to enter to either a capital Y or a capital N so I created the following validation rule in design view:
=UCase("Y") Or UCase("N")
No matter what I do, the data sheet view allows me to enter a lower case Y or a lower case n. How can I make sure that this field only accepts a capital y or a capital N.
Thanks

I have a table with some combo selections with row source No;Yes, bound column 1, column count 1, and default value "No", limit to list set to yes, required = yes, allow zero length = no.
When I create a new record though, all of the combos show 0, and I have to select No or Yes manually. The requirement is that No is the default value..
Lots of thanks in advance,
Aidan

I'm using a lookup table to populated a combo box on my form. I use a provided list of input strings (hundreds) in my combo box and the list is provided in all caps. How can I convert these provided words (strings) to first cap from either the quarry level or form level.

I have two combo boxes in a subform that use lookup queries. I can get the combo boxes to work correctly out of sub form in a regular form but can not get the combo boxes to work in the sub form. I have narrowed the issue to the logic in the queries in the secondary and tertiary combo box queries. Here is the part of the secondary query. I think I have to add the primary form name to this part to correct my issues. How would I do that?
primary form = Lookup_fm
sub form = master_tbl_sub_fm
IIf(IsNull([forms]![Master_tbl_sub_fm]![Role1]),[P_ID],[Forms]![Master_tbl_sub_fm]![Role1])

Hi Everyone:
I have a project of migrating our Access data to Oracle. One of the pre-reqs the boss wants is to uppercase all of the column names (Field name) for all of the tables. I want to avoid manually going in all the tables and changing the case of the columns because there is like 300 tables where dealing with. I was wondering if in Access..is there an efficient way of converting my column names to upper case via script? VBA or Macro?

Hello people,
I'm not a programmer, I am infact a 17 year old College Student from the United Kingdom - Studying ICT!
For my major project I have to design, build and test a camera loans system for my photography department. Except, I am having problems with Combo box lookups. It's been over 6 months since I learnt this, and it's all a blank. Something as simple as this is simply not working...
e.g. in the Studentloans table, I wish to enter the Student ID number from the student ID card inside the combo box, and hit enter so that it brings up the relevant specific loans of that student.
I enter the id, hit enter and the student name, class etc does not change. Why? The same goes for my Camera Maintenance Table, Camera + Maintenance tables are combined to a CAMERAMAINTENANCE TABLE - Therefore I wish to enter the Camera ID number so that if i hit enter, it brings up the relevant service histories of that specific camera...
The relationships are all ok, the fields for Student ID are lookup, etc.
I don't understand. It's driving me insane. I need help with this, I'm struggling so much.
Help much appreciated.
Thanks - Neil.

I have a sales form that contains a combo box lookup to tblCUSTOMERS. It allows me to select a previous customer if that person is already entered into the system. If the person is NOT in the system, a form pops up to add the customer into the table.
What I need to know is, if the person IS already in the table BUT their address etc. has changed, what is the best way to get to that record to edit it? I'm THINKING a button with a command to go to that customer's profile.
What is the code to open a form to the customer selected in the drop down.
the customer name field is CUSTID

I have two tables,
tbl_Retainer
tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding
tbl_Retainer has the field,
Retainer_ID
And tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding has the fields,
Retainer_ID (a lookup field from tbl_Retainer)
Agreement_Num (a lookup field from tbl_Grant)
I have a form based off of a query(not sure if that matters), that uses that tables, tbl_Assignment and tbl_Assignment_Grant_Funding. These tables have the above fields as lookup fields.
So...what happens is, if an Assignment has a Retainer, I want the Agreement_Num box to show only the Agreement_Num's associated with that Retainer, otherwise just show all the Agreement Num's.
In my form, I have Retainer_ID with the row source,
SELECT tbl_RETAINER.Retainer_ID FROM tbl_RETAINER;
And Agreement_Num with the row source,
SELECT [tbl_GRANT].Grant_ID, [tbl_GRANT].Agreement_Num FROM tbl_GRANT ORDER BY [Agreement_Num];
In my AfterUpdate event for Retainer_ID I have,
Private Sub Retainer_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim strSql As String
strSql = "SELECT [Retainer_ID]," & _
"[Agreement_Num]," & _
"FROM tbl_RETAINER_GRANT_FUNDING" & _
"WHERE [Retainer_ID] = " & Me.Retainer_ID.Value
Me.Agreement_Num.RowSource = strSql
Me.Agreement_Num.Requery
End Sub
When I am in my form and choose a Retainer ID, the Agreement_Num box goes blank, and there are no choices to choose from. I am wondering if this is because the Agreement_Num's are sourced from tbl_Grant and not from tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding.

I have a Lookup field/combo box and want to have the cell colour change if a certain word is chosen. if not then the cells stay the same.
i.e., if "cancelled" the cell turns red, if any of the other two options are chosen, then leave as is.
