I would like to create a "wizard style" interface to allow users to Select items (staff members) by moving them from a list of "available" staff to a list of "selected" staff (and back again if they change their minds :rolleyes: ). - e.g. Like the Report Wizard, where you move table/query fields between the "Available Fields" and "Selected Fields" lists.
Does anyone have anything to help me out with this, that they could "lend" me ?
Of course I am stuck using AC97.... so I may need to borrow a hammer and chisel as well :D
I am currently creating a database to link together a maintenance system and a conditional reporting system and I’ve run into a little problem.
I am trying to create a form for assigning skills to a given contractor (contractor selected via a combo box (cboContractor)) by transferring selected items from a list box on the left (lstAvailable) to a list box on the right (lstselected). (much like any windows wizard would) This is done through the 4 buttons cmdSelect, cmdSelectAll, cmdDeselect, cmdDeselectAll.
Now it has been a long time since I have had to work with VB and I am struggling a little to create the required coding to pass data from one listbox to the other.
For reference:
CboContractor takes information from tblContractor. The data is ContID and ContName and the bound column is 1. LstAvailable takes information from tblSkills. The data is SkillID, SkillComm and SkillNotes. Bound column is 1 LstSelected will place data into tblcontskills. Tblcontskills has the fields, tcsID, ContID, SkillID
Can anyone help or does anyone know where I can find some good examples on the net as I have browsed through the search pages here and not really found a great deal that is valid
I am not sure how to search the forum for info on this issue as I don't know the key words (Lingo) that would be used, so I decided to just ask...
I have a table called tblProducts with a one to many relationship with a table called tblTransactions.
I also have a paper form, much like a grocery list, that has known types of products to purchased on the top have and the bottom half has blank line to enter products purchased that are not listed above (or are unknown). The list is much larger and takes up more than one sheet of paper, but is done on a weekly basis. Here is a short "Grocery list" style example:
Date:_________ . Description....Qty...........Description...Qty Ice Cream:....................Milk: ....Vanilla......___Gal...........Whole......___Ga l. ....Chocolate..___Gal...........2%.........___Gal. .......................................Nonfat...._ __Gal. Bananas........___Ea. ..................................Meat: Bread:..............................Pork.......___ lb. ..White.......___Loafs..........Beef.......___lb. ..Wheat......___Loafs..........Chicken....___lb. . ---------------------------------------------------- ____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___ ____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___ ____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___ ____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___ . I want to create a form that you can enter data into exactly like this and have the data find the product in tblProducts and then create a new transaction for that product in tblTransactions. If the product is new, then it would create a new product and the transaction. The date also has to be entered into each transaction, and most times the data is entered weeks after the paper is filled out, so using "today's" date won't work, it has to read it from the entered data.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to find anyone else doing this, but then I may not be searching with the right key words, as I don't know what you call this type of data entry.
In the subform i have the layout i want with the text boxes and so on.
Now i have that in the main form the sub form is fairly big, but the problem i get is the subform only displays 1 record at a time. Is there a way i can get the subform to display all the records and for it just to add a verticle scroll bar.
hi there , i am trying to populate a drop down list using a 3 tier style 1 will be the class.vb , next webservice.asmx , next is the webform currently i am having some problems with the coding
<code> //class1.vb PublicFunction getBanquetProvider() cnn.Open Dim strSql As String = "SELECT DISTINCT Company FROM Banquet" Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(strSql, cnn) Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd) Dim ds As New DataSet Return da.Fill(ds) cnn.Close()
In my current database there seems to be two different types of borders in my pop-up forms! The best way to explain it is that some forms will have the Access style border while others have the glass style border that you see in windows. I can't seem to find any settings that will change this or even determine what causes it.
I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
As one is typing in a field with a lookup wizard - dropdown list - is there anyway to see the list without clicking on the down arrow? Perhaps there is a choice somewhere in the program where dropdown menus for the lookup wizard can be made visible?
I've managed to use the lookup wizard to show me two fields in the drop down list, first name and last name, but when i select a record I can only see the first name in the cell, not both.
I am new to Access(and self taught) so bear this in mind when you view my DB. (Any suggestions are appreciated)I am using Access 2003.
I have included a sample DB. What I need this to do is when you use the Fill Selection Form You can choose mulitple selection in the list box. When you click Done those you selected will show up in the right hand side subform where you can add quantities. I want this info to be stored as one "Fill". It would also be nice if while you are selecting in the list box a calculated field shows you the total weight you have chosen.
i have a list box on a form, which from a query provides four columns
the first column is the bound column and is the reference ID, the second column is the reference the third column is the reference type ID the fourth column is the reference type
depending on the reference type, the reference is edited on a different form
how do i / can i code it that when i double click the list box, the correct form opens to edit the reference details with the reference ID as the linkcriteria,
i am okay with the linkcriteria, but not with the code for the correct form to open
I have a form that contains a list box with 11 separate options. Within this list is the option named "None". My desire is to have a message box displayed when any option is selected other than "None". I have searched various threads, however I have been unsucessful nailing down my issue. Thanks in advance for the assistance.
A few weeks ago I had a post in which I asked how a user could type in the text value of a list of selections in a list box, and arrive to that selection.
Such as if they type in "A" then "B", it goes to "Abby" rather than "Aaron" then "Ben". It was answered that this was not possible in MS Access with a list box, so after that I basically told the users I would look into it more.
I have finally cleared off my desk and arrived back to this small issue.
I thought of the idea to add a Drop-Down Combo Box to the form. I could use the functionality built into the Drop-Down Box to allow them to type in the person they are looking for in the List. Then click a button labeled "Find" and it would take them to the correct person in the list box. They could then function as before.
I just could not figure out the code to put behind my "Find" button. I am not sure if you can do a "Goto record" against a List Box, or a "Find record" against a list box.
Has anyone run into this issue, and if so, was there a way to work around it?
So I have a list box on a form from which users can select which fields to display in a query... There is a default set of fields to display, which at the moment is hardcoded in the associated VBA (far from ideal). I was wandering if there is a specific way to open a list box with a number of values selected by default?
I have an unbound list box that gets its data from a query. I have a button that grabs the selected item(s) from the list box and puts them in a text box. The code for the button is: Dim nsrow Dim mystring Me.List40.SetFocus If Me.List40.ItemsSelected.Count > 0 Then For Each nsrow In Me.List40.ItemsSelected mystring = mystring & Me.List40.Column(2, nsrow) & ", " Next nsrow End If If Right(mystring, 2) = ", " Then mystring = Left(mystring, Len(mystring) - 2) Else End If DESC = mystring
How do I make it so that when the item is selected and is in the text box, it prevents the user from clicking that same item again from the list box? The best way I think is to remove the item from the List box once it's in the text box but I don't know the code to do it.
I have a list box that pulls data from a form. It pulls ProjectID and ProjectName. I want to be able to select one of the ProjectName(s) from the list and have it take me to a form for that ProjectName. I have one form for all the ProjectName(s), and want to be able to simple select one of the ProjectName(s) from the list and have access bring me to the right page of the form. Please Help! Thanks!
how can I retreive the value (and not the index order with listIndex) from a list box? I have a list-box based on a parameter query and I want to retreive only the selected record (in the list box) data from that query.
I have a form where I add a new event, and it gets added to a list box in another form, I was intending to select the most up-to-date record within the list box but it seems to keep selecting the old latest record and not the new record that ive added. I had tried to select the first record but then move to the last record hoping it would refresh but that still doesn't work.
This is the code I used below:-
Quote:
'Select last event record added to event list box Me.lstPatientEvents = Me.lstPatientEvents.ItemData(Me.lstPatientEvents.L istCount - 1) lstPatientEvents.Selected(lstPatientEvents.ListCou nt - 1) = True
I have a list box that is filled from a table with names of individuals. What I would like to do is when one of the names is selected it will take it off the list and do this for all the names in the list until all are removed then will reset and have the names avaialble once again. Is this possible and if so how can it be done? Thanks.
so i have two listboxes that have the values i want for the query parameters. I slightly modified one code i found so that i can query using one of them, however i cannot figure out how to get the second listbox to put criteria into another field. The working code i'm using is:
Private Sub Command_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command_Click
On Error GoTo Err_Handler Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
For Each varItem In Me.PartyBox.ItemsSelected strCriteria = strCriteria & "counterparties.counterparty =" & Chr(34) & Me.PartyBox.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & " Or " Next varItem
Err_Handler: If Err.Number = 5 Then MsgBox "Must Make A Selection First", , "Make A Selection First" Exit Sub Else MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description Resume Exit_Handler End If
Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "combqry" DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
I have searched the forum and just can't find an answer. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a main form with a combo box that links to a table called tblSTC. There are however hundreds of records to choose from. To make the serach more simple for the user there is a button next to the combo called 'Search', When the user presses this a new form pops up with a text box and a list box (the list box contains all records in tblSTC). As the user starts to enter text into the textbox an AfterUpdate event limits the records displayed in the list box to match the criteria of what has been entered in the text box.
When the user identifies the entry he/she wants to select from the list box, I want the functionality of being able to double click the entry, the popup form close and the selection populated in the combo box.
I know that this is probably just simple code using the List Box double click event. I am however unsure how to go about it. Do I need to use some kind of Insert statement??
I have an MS Access DB, that uses a list box to give users a view of the possible selections to choose among.
It works great, but the database has grown to the point there are nearly 3,000 items in the list box.
I found that if you type in the first letter, it will take you to the first alphabetically in the list with that letter.
So if I type in "A" it takes me to "Aardvark". But even this could use improvement, as typing in the first letter with 3,000+ selections means the users may scroll a few hundred to find what they are looking for.
Is there any code, or property setting that can set it up, so the users can type in the entry and it will narrow it down?
So if they type in "AS" it goes to "Assumption" rather than "Aardvark" then jumps to "Sail" (as it does right now).
Didnt know where to start or what direction to head in. I have a combo box on one of my forms. It works fine, but would am looking for an added feature.
I am looking to get the following started:
There are 5 items in the list of my combo box. If the user selects the item called "Lost Opportunity", then how do I get an additional combo box to show up underneath it with reasons the sales opportunity was lost.
Then the reasons why would be in the additional box and they would have to select one...my work wants it so that if they lose the sale, they must provide a reason for that loss of business.
I've been working on this application for a long time, and my combo box always behaved well before, but today I click on the combo box, the list drops down, but I can't select anything. I've also tried typing the item on the list into the combo, which normally works, but I'm not being allowed to type anything there.
I have a form that allows me to change the information for a list of personnel. On this form I have a list box that displays all the personnel in the list. There should never be more than 12-15 people in this list so it's an effective way of selecting records, however I can't figure out how to make the form select the record that is tied to that person from the list.
In VBA I've tried creating an "On Click" command for the list that, when a name is selected, is brings up the corresponding record. I thought I could use a DoCmd.FindRecord but I guess I don't quite know what I'm doing. I didn't want to use SQL to limit the records to just the one that matched I wanted to keep it simple if possible.
Code: Private Sub Personnel_List_Click() DoCmd.FindRecord Personnel_List, , True, , True End Sub
The Personnel_List box is tied to the Personnel_Table, and the table only displays the names available.
