Using A Combo Box To Search A Form

May 15, 2006

I have a db which has a field called site_id it a table called sites. I have a form called sites which uses this table as a record source. I would like to make a combo box on the form as a drop down whenever the user selects a new site id it will take them to that ID on my form. I saw where you can do this with the wizard when your add the combo box to the form but it says I need to use a different table or query. Any one know how to use a combo box like this? Thanks..

Search For Records In A Form Via Combo Box

May 30, 2006

Dear all,

I'm trying to incorporate a combo box in my form to navigate through records. The plan is to select a piece of equipment listed in the combobox, and that record will then be displayed as an "after update" action.

However, I have tried through coding I have tried before and utilising the wizard to create this combo-box, but each time I get a "Complie Error - Can't find project or library".

The section of code is shown below:

Private Sub Combo227_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object

Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[EquipmentID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![Combo227], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks,

Steve

Adding All Selection To A Combo Box On Search Form

Jun 5, 2014

I have a search form with unbound combo boxes that uses the combo box values as criteria for a query. The Row Source of cboCategory is based on the query:

SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.Category FROM Categories ORDER BY Categories.Category;

When I start the form and I don't select a value for the cboCategory combo box, the query just returns all the values. This is great. The problem is that if I make a selection in the combo box, I have no way of reverting it back to that initial value that would make the query return all categories - if I erase the combo box the query returns nothing. So I have to close the form and reopen it.

I tried adding an "All" value to the combobox like so:

SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.Category FROM Categories UNION Select Null as AllChoice , "(All)" as Bogus From Categories
ORDER BY Categories.Category;

but it does not seem to work. It just returns nothing instead of all the categories. How can I add a value of "All" to the combo box that will return all of the categories?

Forms :: Combo Box - Search Function Not Working Within Form

Jul 23, 2015

I recently created a database to be used to store incoming invoices. We have 4 suppliers which supply the same material and wanted each supplier to have its own database.

I began by making a database which included all the key tables, forms, queries and functions I would need to then save 4 copies, one for each supplier. This just meant I would not have to repeat the process for each individual supplier.

The problem is all my data is external and upon importing it into the database it has made the search function (combo box) not return results.

I believe this is because:
1) The form was created before the records existed
2) The records were imported from an external source and not created using the form.

However, the way I have designed the form is so I can see all relevant information linked with a specific invoice. This aids in gathering information quickly about an invoice but also so I can input credit note and invoice query information linked to a specific invoice on the same page.

Is there anyway to remedy this?

Or use a similar search function that returns records in my form "Main View"

The last thing I want to do is have to create the form again, although I don't think this will work either as reason 2) states.

Forms :: Search Unbound Column In Form Combo Box

Jun 16, 2014

I have added a combobox to one of the forms in my customer database using the "find a record in my form based on a value in my combobox" section of the combobox wizard.I have a number of columns in the combobox (the primary key is the bound value, and I have unbound columns for first name, surname etc).

I sorted the records in the combobox by column 3 (surname) so I can scroll through the list and choose surname instead of having to memorise customer numbers. Now I have more than 1500 records (with more on the way), scrolling through takes ages, and I was wondering if there is a way to adapt the combobox so I can (for example) type the first letter of a surname into the box and be taken to surnames beginning with that letter, whilst retaining the primary key as my bound column?

My initial thought was to base the combobox values on a query, and make the query prompt for a starting letter (or string of letters) each time it runs, so it only displays the query results in the list, but I was wondering if there is a neater way to do it?

Search Date Range By Month In Combo Box Within A Form?

May 25, 2012

I'm trying to create a combo list box in a form that has all 12 months (January, February......etc,) listed in rows, and depending on the selection will bring up only that particular month within a range of dates from a table. I don't want it to look at the day or the year, but only the month.

Example: I select January from the drop down list in my combo box and my form will display all records with dates that are in January regardless of month or year.

General :: Dynamically Search Multiple Fields From Combo Box On Form

Mar 21, 2013

[URL] ....I am trying to dynamically search multiple fields from a combo box on a form that includes a subform. I am using code from the above referenced link within this forum.

It works without the "setFocus" for the Listbox except it jumps to a record after the very first character is entered instead of narrowing down as characters are typed. If I leave in the "setFocus" I get run-time error 2110.

Aug 23, 2013

I'm trying to make a filtered search form using "*" as a wildcard default value in combo boxes, this works for all the text fields except for the account number field (Numeric primary key). After quite a bit of reading up and searching, I tried using the following as the row source;

SELECT customers.ACCOUNT_NO, customers.CUSTOMER FROM customers; UNION SELECT "*", "All" From Customers;

But am still getting "#Error" in the combo box.

Queries :: Multiple Combo Boxes And Text Boxes On A Search Form

Mar 24, 2014

I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):

1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts

FROM tblAircrafts INNER JOIN (tblAirports INNER JOIN (AircraftOperators INNER JOIN tblListOfAircraftOperators ON AircraftOperators.CompanyName =

Forms :: Search Form Using Both Combo Boxes And Check Boxes

Jun 5, 2014

I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.

Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.

Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change()
Me.Requery
Me.cboCourseName.Requery
Me.Check178.Requery
End Sub

[code]...

Queries :: Search Form That Uses A Query To Show Results Of A Search

Aug 5, 2014

I have a search form that uses a query to show results of a search, but everytime I press search everything comes up even though I have entered search parameters, even though my search requeries every time and the search used to work before I added new records today. Also when I press the query alone on the navigation pane it asks me for the parameters and then it actually works but it won't when I use my form.

Combo Box Search

Apr 5, 2006

Hi,
I currently have a table with a load of customer details: tblCustomer
and i have a form with a combo box that looks up the customer's record with a drop down menu by the surname then the firstname columns from tblCustomer.

The problem i have is there will be over 2000 customers in the system eventually, and a drop down box just isnt going to work, so i need a method of somehow when the menu from the combo box comes down, of selecting a letter from the alphabet and then a list of all the customers with surnames beginning with that letter showing up.

anyone have any ideas please?

Search By Keypress In Combo

Sep 6, 2005

Hi
I was wondering if it is possible if I press a key on the keyboard say 'c' once I've opened the combo box, that I will be taken to name in the SECOND COLUMN that begins with c. At the moment if I was to press 'c' it will take me to a unique identifier that begins with c as the unique identifiers are in the FIRST column not in the second.

Can anyone help me?

Cheers

Combo Box Search Question

Oct 7, 2005

I am new to access and trying to create a combo box that will enable the end-user to select a field in a database. Then type in the information in a text box to search for information in that field. For example: end-user can select MAC-Address and then type in the MAC-Address number to locate it in the database.

I have created the form and combo box but it will only search the rows of the table.

Combo Box And Search Fields

My problem is after you search using the text fields the filter that the search used stays and causes my combo box not to work unless you go into design view and delete it from the filter property.
Any thoughts on how to fix this??

Forms :: Search Combo Box For A Value

Sep 16, 2013

I'd like to search a combo box on a subform for a string containing a (or multiple) '?' on click of a command button. The point of this is to inhibit the submission of a record with ????? as a field value (in a combo box), however it is temporarily allowed before submission of the form.

I tried this on the command button and it didn't work:

If Me!Subform.Combobox.SelText = "?" Then
MsgBox("Error")
End If

I think I am referencing the combo box on the subform incorrectly..
