Use Auto Complete Feature When Typing Word In Middle Of Field

Feb 26, 2014

I'm working with a DB to enter orders for picking. I have an item list that I'm linking to when entering orders, and bringing in the data from the item list such as item location etc.

It's setup right now that when I type the first couple of letters into the item field it automatically brings up the matching items and if I click enter it completes the item and brings in the other fields from the item list.

Example: If I type in 'tom' I get back 'tomato', 'tomato sauce' etc. and when I choose the right one and hit enter it fills up the rest of the required info such as item location.

What I would like it to do is have the auto complete also check for middle words.

Example: when I type 'alm' it returns 'almonds', 'almond milk', but don't return 'container almonds' or 'container roasted almonds' etc.

Forms :: Auto Complete Field Within Form

Jul 21, 2015

I have created 2 tables, one for direct customers and one for indirect customers. (I consider indirect a customers customer). The 2nd table has a field that links every indirect customer to a direct one. I also have a table for inserting credit notes. The credit note is either for a direct or an indirect customer. I am using a form for this one. So the form has 2 fields, one for each kind of customer. If the customer is direct, i only insert the direct customer field. If its an indirect customer i insert the indirect customer field. What i want is to create a combo box that when choosing an indirect customer, to display the linked direct customer and to save it to the direct customer field.

Tables :: How To Convert Middle Names To Middle Initials

Dec 13, 2012

I have names which are in the following format

smith, john adam
smith jr, john adam
smith, john a
smith, john

How can I make all middle names middle initial IE

smith, john a.
smith jr, john a.
smith, john a.
smith, john

I would imagine I need to use instrrev and insert "*." after the last space. Would that work?

Auto-Complete / Default Value

Jan 24, 2006

I'm using cascading combo boxes with sql in each subsequent combo similar to:

SELECT DISTINCT [incidentnavigation].[type] FROM incidentnavigation WHERE [incidentnavigation].[involved]=cboincidentinvolved And [incidentnavigation].[person]=cbowho ORDER BY [Type];

If the result of the query is one line, i.e. click arrow and there's only one choice, can I get access to auto-fill in the box?

I tried an excel kind of if(count(query=1) then etc and it doesn't like it.

Auto Complete Stopped Working

Sep 19, 2006

Access 2003.

Auto complete was working with a combo box. After adding much functionality
to a database I find that auto complete does not work on any combobox in any
form. So I create a blank database and a simple test shows that auto complete
works. When a form from the faulty database is imported in the test database,
auto complete stops working on the test form. Even if the imported faulty
form is removed, auto complete still does not work.

I tried creating a new database and importing the faulty form after removing
all controls and events from the form except for the combo box. Auto complete
still stops working. Not only on the imported form but also on the existing
form which works prior to the import.

I checked auto expand and it is 'Yes' in all conditions.

What ever is causing the problem on the faulty form seems to cause some
property of the database to change.

Is there some database option or property setting that controls auto complete?

Is is possible that importing a form will cause a database property to change?

Auto Complete Feild In Table

Hi,
I'm trying to create a table which needs some feilds to be automatically filled up when the control goes to it. Say my table has feilds, "size" and "result". In each row, the result cell should be filled up corresponding to the size value of that row. This needs to be looked up from an existing table.

Would appreciate any solutions!

Forms :: Autofill - Possible For Fields To Have Auto-complete Option?

May 20, 2014

I have combo boxes set up with the different choices for major, minor, year, etc. Is it possible for these fields to have an autocomplete option? For example, there are about 30 different subjects that students can choose for a major, so rather than having to look for it in the drop down menu, could the person entering the data just start typing "ant" and have it automatically fill with "anthropology" for example?

I should also mention that the reason I made these fields into combo boxes is because I built SQL in the row source so that it is bound to the primary key but displays the description instead (with the column widths set to 0; 1).

Having Forms With Auto-complete / Combo Box Option For Cells?

Dec 18, 2012

I am building a database to store student assessment information. I have a table with student information, a table with teacher information, and tables which will store the student's scores on a certain assessments.

Q1: I have a field in the assessment table for Teacher ID and Student ID which are linked to their respective tables. What I want to do is create a form for inputting the assessment data but the fields for teacher ID and Student ID to auto-complete or be combo boxes, I don't care which. That is, when a person is entering a student's scores, and go to enter their ID, they won't have to type the whole number out and hope they dont make any mistakes, they will essentially have a list of choices to choose from. Or as they type, the corresponding number will filter down. I already have refferential integrity on so that they can't enter an invalid ID in either field but I want them to have the choice.

Q2: In an assessments table, there is a 1-1 correspondence btw student ID's because only one student can have one score on a particular assessment. However, clearly one teacher can be tagged to several student's assessment scores. Any better way to tag the teacher to multiple student's scores without having fields in the assessment table for teacher ID which is repeated multiple times.

Find A Field Via Typing Part Of Its Characters

Aug 21, 2007

Hi,

I hope you'll be able to help since I think it is going 2 B a tough one.
I'm looking for a code that will do the following:

I have a table (lets say customers) with a lot of names and instead of typing again and again the same name I would like to have a kind of an auto complete mechanism which will find the name from the table and use it to input it back to the table itself and if it isn't there then it will use the new name as an input, exp: in table customers I have the following names:
ACC, ABC, ABD, EFG .....
lets say I'm typing A then the ComboBox will show all the names that starts with A (e.g. ABC, ABD & ACC), if I will continue typing A=>B then only the names ABC & ABD will be shown then I can choose one of them or continue typing ABD which will cause only the name ABD to show up then I could use this as a name to input to the table or if I create a new name like ABDG then this one will be used.

I hope I didn't mess things up and explained myself correctly.
Thanks in advance
Sean

Modules & VBA :: Hide Fields When Field Is Cleared While Typing?

Jul 13, 2015

I am working on a database. I created a list box (ListBox) that filters record for a form. This list box is controlled by another field (SearchBox) where I type search string.

The ListBox visibility is hidden when the form loads. It only becomes visible when the user starts to type in the SearchBox. The records gets filtered and when the user clicks on the selection, the form goes to the record and the ListBox becomes hidden again. All this works fine. My problem is for some technical reasons I want the ListBox to show only when there is character in the the SearchBox. When I try to type in the SearchBox the ListBox shows but when I try to clear the SearchBox with backspace the ListBox is still visible

I tried:

Code:
If me.SearchBox = Null Then
me.ListBox.Visible = False
Else
me.ListBox.Visible = True

I also tried

Code:
If IsNull (SearchBox) Then

Still when I type backspace the ListBox remains visible.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I put this code on the current event of the SearchBox Field.

Jan 16, 2006

we run a family business and i do all the quotations.

i have an access database in which i record these quotations and whether or not we got the job or not, and i have to input all the data manually.

can it be done??

any replies will be much appreciated.

Complete Newbie.please Help With Enabling/disabling Field Based On Combobox Selection

Oct 24, 2006

Hi everyone,


Firstly apologies for posting what is likely to a really simple problem and probably has been explored before. I have been looking through other treads but nothing that I could identify really fits the bill.

Essentially based on choices made against a combo-box, I wish to lock or hide combinations of fields/combo box within the form. Realistically I want to lock rather than hide.

All the fields/combo boxes in the form I want to effect are bound.

I can effectively do this as long as the fields/combo-boxes are unbound, but it seem to fail when they are bound.

Any assistance would be really helpful so thanks in advance.

Queries :: Using Variable In A List Field Query - Getting Complete List On Initial View

Mar 28, 2014

In my access form I provide the user a list of locations from various countries in a listbox . But the list is too long so I provide him a combobox for selecting a country. Selecting the country should update the listbox showing only the locations in that specific country.

So my SELECT from the listbox must cover the unselected state and show all entries and when a country is selected it must narrow the selection.

I tried to get this happen with the following SELECT statement containing a variable. Choosing a country in the Combobox results in a change of the variable and in a requery. This works after the first country is selected and for each country change, but the initial list is empty.

VBA in the loadform
'Application.TempVars.Add "varcountryselect", "*"
SELECT in the listbox "lstlocationsperproject"
SELECT tbllocations.locationID, tbllocations.country, tbllocations.localstreet, tbllocations.localcity FROM tbllocations WHERE ((tbllocations.country) Like [TempVar]![varcountryselect]);

VBA in the combobox
Application.TempVars("varcountryselect") = [Form]![kombcountryselect].Column(0)
Me.lstlocationsperproject.Requery

The values in [kombcountryselect].Column(0) are texts like "SPAIN", "MEXICO", etc.

Any hints, how I have to use the * for getting the complete list on the initial view ?
