Using A Combo Box To Insert Text Into A Form Field
Oct 9, 2005
This is really hard to explain, but basically I'm trying to use a combo box that has a control source different than it's record source to update another field on the record source. For example, the combo box pulls it's options from a table called "NameList" and when you select an option from the combo box it updates a table called "Results". On this form there are form fields that are bound to the "Results" table. What I want to happen is, when I make a certain selection from the combo box, I want one of the fields bound to "Results" to automatically display text from a different table. Is this even possible? If this is a horrible explanation, please let me know. I need serious help on this one, I've been working on this for a day and a half now. If anyone has any ideas on how to do it a different way, please make suggestions. Thanks in advance!
- Josh :confused:
Also, another thing I forgot to mention, this may help anyone who tries to help me. This "Results" form is basically used as a log utilizing a report to display a sequence of events. I've included a screenshot for visual affect. I have censored a few things for privacy reasons.

Is it possible to insert text from a textbox on a form (Data) when a combobox on (Data) meets a criteria?
Example: Test: IIf([Results]="Positive" text207)
So if the Results combobox is Positive then the text from Text207 is inserted.

I have a text field called Notes - where we will add notes about the particular job. What I want to do is have it a locked field with a button 'Add Notes'. When clicked it will insert the date and the user name of the person and then let them type the notes. When they move to the next record - I want that field to be locked again.
I've got some of it down but still not right. I can get it so it inserts the date but it overwrites what is already there. How can I get it to just add the data - not overwrite? And I can't get it to lock when they move to the next record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Someone once posted an database on how to do this but I was not able to see how they were able to automatically input the data into a text field.
I know how to do a combo box to query and input those results into a combo box but I am confused how they got the information from the combo box selection to automatically put the other variables into the testbox. They did this without using the dlookup command. In fact it was done without any code.
They showed how to do this automatically without code and with two other methods (one being dlookup). Can someone please help me if it is clearcut as I don't have too much time to search the forums for empty answers (believe me I have already wasted too much time) Thank You

I created an update query to a text field in a table. However, it inserts the data at the end of the string and I need to insert it at the beginning of the string that already exists. How do I move it to the front instead of the end?
This works but puts it at the end:
[Field Name] & "BlahBlah"

Hello,
I have a access table with a OLE Object field that is storing a small signature .bmp image. I have a form that loads that image into a bound object frame. I made a command button that lets you choose a new .bmp image and it then loads the new image into the bound object frame. I am them doing update query on a save button that then save the new image into the table. The form works great. You can pick any .bmp and it shows up good in the bound object frame. When I click the save button and it runs the update query it run it 8 of 10 times fine. Problem is when it does run it the images gets inserted into the table and its destorted. Like its all static or have of the image turns black. Sometime when I run the same update query with out any code changes I get a access error that shuts down access or it inserts the image into the table and when you click on the cell to view it, it says the OLE data is not valid.
So Im not sure if the method Im using is ok or if there is a better way. I do need to store these images in the table tho. Below is the code im using.
code that loads new image picked into bound object frame
Code: Dim MyFolder As String Dim MyExt As String Dim MyPath As String Dim MyFile As String Dim strCriteria As String MyPath = vrtSelectedItem'vrtSelectedItem is the path to the image from the file picker Me.OLE_Sig.Enabled = True Me.OLE_Sig.Locked = False OLEPath = MyPath Me.OLE_Sig.OLETypeAllowed = acOLEEmbedded Me.OLE_Sig.SourceDoc = OLEPath Me.OLE_Sig.Action = acOLECreateEmbed Me.button_load_sig.SetFocus Me.OLE_Sig.Enabled = False Me.OLE_Sig.Locked = True
Then I run this for the save command
Code:DoCmd.SetWarnings FalseDoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_user_edit_update"DoCmd.SetWarnings True
This is the query to save the image.
Code:UPDATE tbl_Users SET tbl_Users.Signer_Sig = [forms]![frm_admin_users_edit]![OLE_Sig]WHERE (((tbl_Users.User_ID)=[forms]![frm_admin_users_edit]![field_userid_info]));
Any help would be great.... Been trying everything and no luck.

:mad: I have a combo box which is being used for surname searching. It displays surnames in the first column and first names in the second column. I would like the user to be able to type or select a surname from the dropdown list and where there are multiple entries of that surname select the correct record. At present the first matching surname is the one that keeps being selected.
I am displaying the complete record in fields lower down in the same form.
I also have a firstname search combobox but the code will be almost identical.
Can someone help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm certin this is something really simple, but I just can't remember how I've done it before.
I have a combo box called "ReferralReason" and when a particular option ("Other") is chosen from the list in there, I want the text field "ReferralReasonOther" to become unlocked.
Could someone please tell me:
a) do I type the VBA code for this in the properties of the combo, or, the text field? (Does it even make a difference)
b) what do I actually type?? :confused:
Thanks in advance for your help!

I understand the problems that can be brought upon ones self by creating the table with lookup fields, But if the table was orginally designed with them and then the Field is then changed to a Text box instead of a Combo box will the inherent problems associated with the lookup within a table disappear?

I have requested this before but the example given did not fit my situation and I had a heck of a time trying to adapt the example given to me so I will step by step describe what I need. thanks...
Can someone show me how to do the following:
1) Take a combo box that looks up a table that has 2 variables (Var1 and Var2).
2) Depending on the value chosen in the combobox (Var1) then a text field will automatically have the value (Var2) appear.
3) This information from combo box and text field will then be stored in a separate table that is linked to the form.
__________________________________________________ _____________
Also:
Is there a way to extend this example further by adding another combo box that takes the result from the first combo box to filter in values for the second combo box which will then automatically populate a text box which would then be stored in a separate table.
__________________________________________________ _____________
Someone kind of showed me before but they used unbound variables and this confused me as the combobox was unbound but how is that information stored into my table?
Pardon me for my redundancy but this is frustrating me to no end and I unfortunately have a deadline of today!!!! :(
I think it is the row source thing that confuses me. I take row source to mean where the data is stored. But where do you identify where to obtain the data to then store in your "inputed" table?

I have a combo where the list is populated with a bit of VB code to create a two field list. When the user selects the item they want from the list it displays the item in the combo box and should populate a text box in the same row with the value from the second column.
This combo is part of an orders subform and the user is selecting a product from the list which displays the product_name and the product_id.
The problem is that the product_id is not filled in and access returns the following error:
Run-time error ‘3101’:
The Microsoft Jet database cannot find a record in the table ‘product_table’ with key matching field(s) product_id.
This is the VB code that populates the list :
[code]
Private Sub comboCatagory_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim sProd_description As String
sProd_description = "SELECT products_table.product_id, products_table.prod_description " & _
"FROM products_table " & _
"WHERE products_table.prod_catagoryID = " & "'" & Me.comboCatagory_ID.Column(0)
Me.comboProd_description.RowSource = sProd_description
Me.comboProd_description.Requery
End Sub
[end code]
What am I doing wrong?
Thx
Kev.

I've searched for this everywhere but I haven't yet found a solution, even though I'm sure it should be pretty simple.
I have 2 combo boxes: cboMonth, cboDay
and a text field: txtYear
cboMonth has values: Jan-Dec
cboDay has values: 1-31
After selecting the combo boxes and entering the year, I want the result to be displayed in a text box, with the format of Long Date.
How is this accomplished?
Thanks for any help!

I have a table named ColorValues with the following three fields:
- ID
- MunsellCode
- RGBValue
30 fields from another table called Color_Analysis are linked to the above with one to many relationships (I've already thought of other ways to normalize data, but this is the most efficient, so no need to go into this topic).
Now, I've constructed a form for Color_Analysis and all 30 fields recording color are included as combo boxes bounded on the ID in ColorValues and displaying the MunsellCode for the user. I've also created unbounded text fields next to the combo boxes and want to use them to display the color that the user selected in the ComboBox. The question is how do I do this?
Essentially I need a piece of code that picks up the value of the combo box (this is essentially the ID in ColorValues), looks up that value in the ID column of the ColorValues table and uses the corresponding RGBValue of the same table as the .BackColor for the unbounded text field.

Autofill text field using combo box selectionHello,
I'm trying to autofill a field on a form using MS-Access 2010 Web version sharepoint using macros without coding.
The form has an existing Combo Box field called Segment, using the row sources "REW", "WTT", "DBM".
A user begins filling out the form and eventually selects the Combo Box for Segment and selects any one of the segment no Multiple selection
There is another text field, which is actually alpha-numeric, called Job_No. I want this to autofill based on their Segment selection, using this format:
REW-YYMMDD-TTTT, or REW-131210-20001 for example, for today with the time displayed as military time and last Job No.(20001) for REW and Also for WTT (30001) as starting number.

hello can anyone please help me with this form?
I have a form in which has one drop down combo box and one data entry text
box.
The combo drop down box comes from a query of all active contracts from my
contracts table.
the second box has a unit ID number which the user enters.
All information entered in this data entry form goes to a Unit table.
My contract table has three columns: Name of contract and Type (only three
types): A, B, C. (contract table) and then a column that says active or
inactive.
i.e
Name Type Status
113 A active
114 B inactive
115 A active
116 A inactive
120 C active
121 C inactive
This is where I am stuck…
When a user puts an unit id number and then selects from the listbox one of
the active contracts for the first time is ok. For example: the user entered
unit number 123 and selected contract: 113 which belongs to type A.
What I need is that next time the user put the same unit number in the text
box then the contracts he could choose for that selected unit number could
only any of type B or type C. he/she can no longer choose other type A.
so basically for every unit id number i could have only one contract type A, only one contract B and only one contract C. :confused:
Can someone give me some light in how to start this?

Hi,
I have a form that has several text boxes that correspond to a cell in a row. One of the columns contains just numbers 1-300. Now what I need is a combo box that contains the numbers 1-300 and when one of those numbers is selected I need it to import all the information from the same row into the correct text boxes.
For example when the number 3 is selected it will take the row with the number 3 in it, take all of the cells and import them into the right text box.
Thanks a bunch!
