I have created a combo box with the values I need from a table. Once I select the correct record from the drop down box I'd like to be able to open the table with just that one record being displayed. Thanks for your help.
View RepliesHello,
Please help, I am still kind of new to Access. My problem is. I need to be able to open a form from a selection of a combo box. Thank you in advance.
Hi don't know if I'm trying to do something that can't be done but I'll give it a try
I have a combo box which selects a type of incident e.g. report, SIF, Phone call etc
and dependent on what is selected I would like to get access to automatically select which form to open so if report is open when the command button is clicked then the report form would be opened, when SIF is selected the SIF form would be opened etc...
How do I go about this.. I have only ever wrote code in excel, so can I have step by step if it involves code (which I guess it does) including where to put the code and even how to go about it
Thanks in advance to all
I have a form that contains a form (Contain business data) and a then a sub form that hold the companies history of donations. BUT I also have another forms that hold miscellaneous data that I would like to look at also in the sub form area.
I want to select the sub form by a combo box to show the "sub forms"I want to look at by selecting a menu from a combo box.
I have worked with Access for years but some reason the combo box has always been difficult for me to completely understand.
I am struggling to pull out a report based on the combo box selection. I have NOI database and want to pull out a report for a specific customer that how many NOIs are generated by this customer..
I have a separate table of customer and another table of NCRs and the customer information comes from customer table.
I have tried the below statement but gives me an error message:
code for Macro that pulls the report in click event:
[CustomerName]=[forms]![CustName]![combocust1]
do i need to mention the report as well in some where in report ?
I have "donations" form with a cbo called "DonationType".
(frmDonations.DonationType)
General
Employee Match
Employer Match
Angels*
Friends*
Royal Crown*
The last three options need to redirect the user to a different form used for pledged donations.
I have a combo box called Combo9 in form NavigationF, the combo box displays the results of FollowUpQ Query. What I would like to do is when the user selects a row from the combobox is closes NavigationF and opens ContactHistoryF and goes to the record selected in the combo box. I have made sure that the combobox contains CustomerID which is the primary key for my table.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have made a form to enter daily timesheet info for personnel. I have on this form a combo box with different job descriptions, with this info located in a "job description" table. Once all info is entered on this form, I want all info to be entered into my "main time table".
It seemed to be working ok, until I printed out my report based on my main time table. In the area where my job description should be, I don't get the actual wording I had selected from the job description table (using the combo box), only the ID number.steps to have the selected text (from a combo box) saved in the recordset of another table?
I am a novice to Access and in order to get some training in my workplace I need to show how access can be applied to my role.
I have a table of information consisting of 3 fields:
Motor manufacturer
Model
Attachment (picture of particular car)
I want to have someone able to select the manufacturer and Model from Combo boxes and this will pull up the image associated with this model.
There are more than 1 model for each Motor manufacturer so you may have:
manufacturer Model
Ford Fiesta
Ford Mondeo
VW Beetle
VW Golf
Fiat 500
You must not be able to select the wrong model for manufacturer, i.e.
Ford 500
The images are currently saved onto the table as an attachment,
This may be wrong as well,
This may be a simple task to do, but hopefully I can get it running smoothly and show this is the right tool for the job.
I am trying to write a query that gets all the telephone hours from a worker done under supervision in a town (qry_svhoursbytown). I have a table that has the workers details, including town (Crisis_support_workers), then another table that has what hours each worker has done (Supervision_Hours). The town is selected from a combo box on the form (frmSearch), under the heading �total hours by location�.
I try and select Bathurst then press recalculate results and in the text box next to supervision hours, it says 66, but if you look in the Supervision_Hours table, there is only 11 hours for the workers that are in Bathurst.
In the query, I have the sum total of the hours field in the Supervision_Hours table, the Town field from the Crisis_support_workers table with the total selected as Where and in that criteria I have [forms]![frmSearch]![ComboTown], then I just have the town field displayed.
What do I need to change to get it to sum correctly?
I have attached the database below so people can take a look.
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.
I have a table called Auction, it has three fields, seller, iid, and start_time.
I made a combo box on a forum and in the I have a query,
My question is, I have a few combo box, can I have a user select a seller, but it will automatically populate in the same row, the iid and start_time for this seller?
How do I do this, I can't have separate combo box and have user select for each seller, iid and start time because it wouldn't match it to that seller on the same row.
I have a Table (tblFPAData) that is being populated with entries from a form I created. There are several fields but if I can get an answer for one relationship then I can repeat it for the others.
In tblFPAData there are the fields MaterialNo and Description.
I am creating another table called tblSchedule and using a form to enter the information. I need the user to select the MaterialNo from a combo (cmbMaterialNo) and the then table auto populates the Description from tblFPAData.
I have a combo box containing "ProgramType". If "DDI" is selected from this combo box, I would like it to open up another combo box containing the contents from "tblDDI". Then I would like the selection to be transferred to "ProgramType". Is this possible?

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

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.
I'm trying to get one combo box control what tables are available from another combo box. Example, combo box (a) includes numbers 1-5. Selecting (1) makes the data in combo box (b) specific to that selection. Selecting (2) makes the data in combo box (b) something different (pulls data from a different table).
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!
I'm trying to build a database for daily work. My work in daily basis I have to fill all condition for several items.
We have two areas, with two locations under each area, and three systems under each location and each system contain more than 500 items.
I created all tables and fill by all information:
1-Table 1: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4, Area 5, Area 6.
2-Table 2: Location 1, Location 2.
3-Table 3: System 1, System 2, System 3.
4-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-1
5-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-2
[Code] ....
Last table will be LogBook which will be as follow:
date l time l area l location l system l item l Conition1 l Conition2 l Conition3
My question regarding to the form of the above table:
How can I make a combo box for area field and when I select for example area1 will appear only the locations which under area1 in location field, and when I select location1 for example will appear only the systems under location1 in system field, and when I select system1 one for example will appear only items under system 1.Combo box list will be based on the selection in previous combo box and so on.
I have a form, with a subform and another subform
Once a supplier name is selected from the combo box i only want it displayed that suppliers products in the subform, subform. (products combo box) I can get a basic query to show these results but can get the combo box to do the same.
The design screen is also attached below ....
I have a form which has a listbox listing all the letters a student has had sent home. Basically i want to be able to click on a letter in the list box and for a popup form to open with the record details. However it just brings up a blank record.
The list box has a unique field called standardletterID.
the code behind the button to filter was just used through the wizard to open the popup form is:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmstandardletterspopup"
stLinkCriteria = "[StandardLetterID]=" & Me![List0]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
but it doesnt seem to be working :(
I thought this would be easy but no matter how much i destroy my database trying to do it its not playing ball!

Hi,
Need help on a list box issue. Solution is probably real simple, just can't see it with my bleary eyes.
I have a form (INSTLKP) with only a list box (List6) based on a table ((tblPersData) with fields PersdataID; SSN; Last; First; MI) on it. When I open the form up, the listbox does display all records associated withthe table. I would like to doubleclick on a desired SSN in the list box and have that record open up in a form (Perssub1) in edit mode.
And that is where the rub is... I have the following code in the On doubleclick event of List6
Private Sub List6_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.OpenForm "Perssub1", , , "[PersDataID]= " & Me.List6, , acWindowNormal
End Sub
All it does it just open a blank Perssub1 form. Any ideas on what I'm missing?
:confused: Hawg1
I have some code that was written by someone else. I am trying to duplicate this in another database but, can't seem to get it to work. I also don't understand how this code is working as as there is no reference to the combo box in the code behind the print button. But depending on what you select in the combo box the report opens and filters on that selection. The following code is behind the print button. There is a separate combo box, that does not seem to have a connection to the print button. It just has a query behind it for the items to select from.
Public Sub BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "RPTProject Number (Job) Book Year"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
Exit_BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Clic:
Exit Sub
Err_BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_BTNPrint_Project__Job__Numbers_Clic
I have three different forms.
1. form is a Login form where i choose between: AA, HH or FA
After choosing on my first form second form opens.
Now my question - how can i do the following:
Based on the combobox in form 1, my button i form 2 will either open form 3, 4 or 5...
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.
