View Table Fields In A List Box
Feb 20, 2005
Hello, I'm having a spot of bother ....
I have a form that populates, in a list box, the tables within my Access database when it opens. I need to be able to do the following;
1 - Populate another list box on the form with the field names of the table I've selected
2 - Check to see if the table has a specific field, and if not, add that field to the table
Is there anybody out there that has done something similar or knows how to do this?
My programming skills are fairly basic, so I would appreciate an example of the code.
Thanks in advance.

Here's a query that the bottom listview in the attached form i.e. a listview representing a table of calls(many) to fims (1 top listview)
Code:
SELECT calls.id, calls.firm_id, calls.called, calls.said, calls.spoke_to, calls.next
FROM calls
WHERE (((calls.firm_id)=[firms].[id]))
ORDER BY calls.called DESC , calls.next DESC;
When I run the thing...I get a dialog asking me for firm id.
I want to change this so when I move up and down the firms LV (top)... the bottom LV updates taking firm id from the top LV with focus.
Access 2003.

I have some issue when i save list view data in a access table.In form I have a list box(listtotalcount) and one text box(ID). In form load event I run a query on that list box like: "SELECT count(id) FROM table A" and it gave me the correct result. Now I want to store this data on a different table (table b) and I use this code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("table b", dbOpenDynaset)
[code]....
But the problem is when I click the save button it store only id not the list box value.

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 ?

I have come up with another one that may be easy for you.
I have a form that has a list box with two fields in the table.
Call the table: STATE TABLE1
Call the first field: STATE NUMBER 1
Call the next field: STATE NAME 1
When I access the list box on the form, I have it so I can see the States Name(STATE NAME1) and I click on it and the (STATE NUMBER 1) is place in another table called: INVENTORY2 in the STATE#2 field. That works all well and good.
I would like to be able to continue this, at the same time I select the (STATE NAME 1) on the list box. I also want to place (STATE NAME 1) into the INVENTORY2 TABLE in another field call (STATE NAME2)
I was going to write an expression to do this but had trouble with finding the STATE NAME 1 field.
I am sure there is an easier way.
PS This table is being used in another application and there is no way to modify any of its field at the time of the transfer. All the fields need to be populated at the time of the transfer.
Thanks for your help.

I a trying to list all fields from ALL tables in a certain DB.I am using the tableinfo function. However, because the output of the immediate window is limited to 200 lines, I can only see the last 200 fields. Is there a way to export this in another way than the debug.print procedure, so I can bypass this limitation?
Code:
Public Sub showtablefields()
Dim db As Database
Dim tdl As TableDef
[code]...

What is the correct way to save the values in a listbox column to the fields of a table? I can use rec("field1") = Me.list16.ItemData(Varitem)and that records the bound column to field 1 but how can I save the unbound columns to other fields in the table?

Have a look at this screenshot from excel.
Basically I would like to capture the quantity in stock for the above list of phones at many stores.
I started out by adding each phone model as a numeric field in tblStock, because I need to obtain the quantity value for each and every model, for each and every store.
Is there a better way to do this? I was thinking of creating just 2 fields, Model and Quantity, then adding each model as a record, then using that record as a sort of template. I wander what would be the drawbacks of this, since with the first method, if a user needs to add a phone not on the list he would have to modify the table design.

I have a form based on a table and I just added 3 fields to the table. When I go to the form to add these fields, they do not show up in the field list. I've also tried creating a textbox and going to the Data Tab and choosing the data source but those 3 new fields are still not showing up.
How can I go about adding these 3 fields?
Thanks in advance

I have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
Any ideas why it is not showing?
I am using Access 2000.

After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
Thanks, Charlotte

Hi
I am using MS ListView SP2. While designing the application, I did it in my local drive. Since it is multi-user application, I have put it in a shared folder. The issue that it gives an error that there was an error loading ActiveX control on your form.
Has it to do with reference? Do I have to give reference in all the machines ?

Hi
I have placed a ListView on the form. I have written a DblClick event for the ListView. The application is a multi-user one. The issue is that the DblClick event was working for few days and now it does not work for any of them but it is working only in my system.
Is it related to reference ? I developed the tool on my system and placed in a shared folder from which everybody uses. Do I need to give reference in all the system ? Please help. I am stuck with this problem.

I dont know if this is possible but I want to change a yes/no field from a list box.
I can load data in fine I can even loop through it to see what value each item is but, is it possible to allow a user to change a value from a list box?
If not do I have to use the Datasheet view?

I have a form (frmHourEnter) with a combo box (Staff_ID) that lists staff members from a table (tblStaff). The table form (frmStaff) has a checkbox (ckEmploy) which indicates if a staff member is still employed. If the checkbox is checked how do I exclude that staff member from the combo box Staff_ID in the form frmHourEnter?

You know how normally in design view there would be a table at the bottom of the screen where you can drag your fields from the view above.
Well, I have a query where this table view has disappeared ?
I can edit the query in SQL view, the query works, just the table view is missing.
Ever happened to anyone else ? I've done the obvious and scrolled down as far as I can and nope, it's not there ??? :confused:

I have created a form with a list view (active-x) to be able to control colors, etc in a list.
When I open my form, it is already information (three rows) in the list view. This despite the fact that I have shut down the access application and even shifted the database to another computer.
I can of course delete the elements with ListItems.Clear when I open the form, but I'd rather like that they did not show up at all.
Where these "default-elements" are stored, so I can remove them from the list view once and for all?

I have a form with a subform that has started a strange behavior... Periodically (no apparent pattern) whenever I leave the form (go to next record, print report, send an email...) the field list (Add Existing Field) box pops up. I always thought that those boxes (property sheet included) displayed or were hidden based on the state the last time it was used in Design View. I have confirmed that all forms and subforms do not have the boxes in display state in Design View.
I can go into Design View, close the box and all is well for awhile. It seems to happen more frequently when I go to print a report based on the data on the current form. My question is - what causes the Field List or Property Sheet to toggle on/off and can I suppress it either on a form or in the VBA code?

I wonder how MS Access manage to show long list of records when we want to browse them in Datasheet view.
1 - Does it load limited amount of records on start-up and then load the remainder upon user interaction (scrolling for example)?
2 - Does it care about such things automatically or natively?

hello,
I also posted this in the report section, but it doesen't seem like the readers over there have any answers. I'm hoping maybe query people will.
I'm working on someone elses database, and I'm not too familiar with access.
He's got this form called Customer_Select, and when you click on a check box for a customer, it's option value is recorded in a field called Product, which then corresponds to the product/customer id located in a table called CustomerCharacteristics.
The problem is that I just realized that this Product field existed. When I view the form as a datasheet, I see the fields: Product, Lot_Nr, Version:, and Last Update:
However, when i look at the field list for the same form in Design view, I get: DateTime, VersionDisplay, and Description.
Does anyone know what's going on here? I need to reference the Product field in a query I'm modifying, but the expression builder can only 'see' the fields that are visible in design view.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When I set the background color of a "rectangular box" to Normal (not transparaent), there are some fields that do not display - they are hidden behind the box. If I move the box, delete the hidden fields and add them back in, they appear fine. Is there a way to set the box color to allow all fields appear in front without having to delete and re-add all fields?
Thanks,
SKK

I have created a database to track our contacts for the office. I spent some time working on the relationships and making sure everything was normalized, as I've only just recently understood that concept. However, I'm afraid something got messed up in the process and I may have missed a step or done something wrong when creating the relationships.
Basically, I just created the form with all of my fields in it and when I try to view the form I see that no fields display (it's just a blank white screen). I wondered if I should actually be creating the form based off tblcontact, and then add subforms for each of the other tables.
See my attached database for further reference ...
