Me!ComboName.DefaultValue = Me!ComboName.ItemData(0)
this assigns the first value in the combo box to the default.
can this be changed to always assign the last possible record in the list as the default.

I have a frm called frmaddprovider Main form see database
I Also i have subform called frmsubformproviderids with
2 command buttons Add Provider ID and Refresh data
When i generate a report by selecting insurance name, insurance id, from the table called tbladdinsurance and also select Provider, Pin from the table called tblproviderids
When i generate the report as you can see by the sample database only insurances that are selected in the combo box shows up
How do I assign a default value so if the insurance combo box in the subform field is left blank it will automatically assign the Pin# to all insurances and when i generate the report it will show all insurances along with provider and Pin#
Hi, in my database I have a 7 subforms that shows fields for daily tasks for each day of the week. On the Monday, the tasks are assigned and then stored for every record for the corresponding date. The process is done again on tuesday, then wednesday etc. However, often the daily tasks for say tuesday will be very similar (sometimes the same) to that of monday's.
Therefore is there a way to set the default values for each day as the previous days tasks and then alter them if needed?
Thanks for helping!:o
I have built an example of a form that I am working on. My original design used the default record navigator bars that are setup when you use the wizard to create the form. I would like to remove those bars and use the linked combo boxes that I have placed onto the form instead.
My end all goal is to have those two record navigation bars completely gone from the form and have the combo boxes perform the same function they were used for.
I would like to keep the data entry portion of the form the same because I like the design and I like that I can limit it to data entry only so theres no chance that the users will accidentally modify existing data. However, if you have a different method of entering the data that will still provide me with the protection of "data entry only" that will be welcomed.
I want to define a public variable and i am using the following code but it gives me Compile error Invalid outside procedure.

I got a combo box with a few columns for locating query activity. However, how can I make use of it to locate a particular record according to predefined values, for instance in a loop, to locate records. The combo box got 3 columns, just want to know the syntax to define the combo box according to some values. I need to define only the first colmun or all 3 columns??
View 1 Replies View RelatedG'day. I've been browsing the forum trying to find a solution to a problem, without much luck, and am hoping that someone might be kind enough to help me more directly.
I'm a biologist and a newbie to access: with the distinction of being completely clueless about VBA. Nonetheless, I have been tasked with creating a database for storing data obtained from biological surveys of juvenile salmon and harvest/spawner surveys of adult salmon.
The bones of the db are in place and functional. The problem I have is streamlining the data entry process to minimise keystrokes/mouse clicks.
I have a subform for entering fish records with attributes such as 'species_name', 'fork_length', 'count', 'presence of tags, etc. The idea is that fish can be entered as individuals (count=1) or groups (count>1) with attribute data at the appropriate level (eg, fork lengths only entered for individuals. We typically measure the fork lengths of the first 20 individuals of each species and then tally the remainder).
One problem I face is that fish often occur in schools, and it becomes quite tiresome to click and select the same species_name combo box value for each record when entering multiple individuals of fish of the same species.
What I would like to do is set the default value for that combo box (on the fish subform) to match the value entered for the previous record.
I suspect that you could use the after update trigger to execute some code to change the default value each time something is entered manually into the combo box. Unfortunately, I know nothing about how to write the appropriate code.
Can anyone offer me some guidance?
Thanks in anticipation.
Sincerely,
Craig Dolphin
Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
I have a question concerning combo boxes and the best way to implement them. When creating a field in a table I can choose to set the lookup for the field as a combo box and it will allow the use of a combo box in the table. I could also leave it alone and use a form with a combo box on it. My question is which method is better, or are there particular situations where one is preferred?
I can only think that using a combo straight from a table is good if you plan editing data via the table. If data entry is only to take place through the form then I see no need to set the combo box value on the table.
I am new to access. In a form, I have a combo box(combo1) that store values in field(remarks1) in a table.The values in combo box are:
SL
ST
DI
SL + ST
SL + DI
These all values are being saved in remarks1 quiet easily. I have more fields in the table:
SL1
ST1
DT1
SLST1
SLDI1
I want when I selet SL from combo1 it saves SL in remarks1 and save "1" as well in SL1 field.I want to have same result with all five combo1 values

I have 2 tables, one called 'dept' and the other called 'employee.' These tables have a one-to-many relationship; basically, one department to many employees.
Instead of using a combo box, how do I assign an employee (employee_table) to a department (dept_table) by simply selecting a checkbox on a tabular (employee) form and the record is automatically added to the dept table?
I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!!!

I tried doing a subform but I don't like how it looks on the form and when I try to do a query that filters based on a person's name, the form has to be a single form rather than a continuous form which is not what I want.

Is it possible to assign a query to the recordsource of a form dynamically? I assume the answer is yes. Can this action be done when the form is not open? If yes what is the correct syntax to use when the code is in a normal module as a public sub? I tried many possibilities and could not get it to work.
Code:

ForNm = "PersonalFm"
Forms(ForNm).Recordsource = Qry
Forms![PersonalFm].Recordsource = Qry
[Forms]![PersonalFm].Form.Recordsource = Qry
Scenario: I have a combo box in an evaluation db that is set up to return 3 columns - EmpID, Name, JobID. The combo box only shows Name, but properly updates the neccessary fields on the screen.
Problem: I would like to turn the JobID txt box into a combo box that would default to null prior to a Name selection (on a new record) and then default to the recorded JobID after Name selection. 99.9% of the time, this won't be used, but occasionally an employee will receive an evaluation for a JobID they did, but were not officailly assigned.
The right way to do it would be to create a second record in the primary system that I am polling the data from, but that is not feasible given the nature of that system.
Any ideas?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I'm obviously doing something stupid in my form :-) If you open the form in the attached sample you will see that I have 2 combo boxes. One of them has a default value showing and the other doesnt, I want to get the second combo to automatically show the value in the list but just cant seem to get this to work...
I cant work out whats different bewteen the two. Been tearing my hair out here so would appreciate some input.
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
In my form I have a combo box that is bound to a product/specification table.
When clicked, this combo box displays a list of products, each with its respective set of specifications (although I configured it so just the product column can be seen.) The reason I do this, is so that the specification values (against which certain other values in the form is critiqued) will be a static value in the form itself, and not a changeable value in a table.
What I want to do, however, is to let the combo box assume a default value when the form load (it must already have a product selected at start-up.)
How can I do this?
Thanks ahead!
Hi all,
Can some one help me with how to set a default text on a combo box whose record source is set to a query?
I have a form with two combo boxes. The first combo box’s record source is set to the following query:
SELECT chrCategoryID, chrCategoryName
FROM tblGuarCategory;
My 2nd combo box will list all the items based the category I select on the first combo box.
But when the user opens the form, instead of showing both combo boxes blank, I would like to display the following text:
Combo Box1: Select a category
Combo Box2: Select an item…
I tried to use the combo box’s Default Value property like = “Select a category”. It didn’t work. I am not sure what is missing here. I appreciate your help.
I am sure this is a very basic problem but I just can't seem to make it work...
I have a form with a combo box. The values for the combo come from a table listing available month and year of various data. When the vlaue is selected in the combo box, the form refreshes the data to display that month and updates another table with that month that is used for a few different functions. Everything works great except that when you open the form, there is no value displayed in the combo box. What I would like for it to do is display the month that is equal to the value found in the second table, since that is considered to be the current month. I have tried various approaches to setting the default value and using a query in the control source but It still shows no value when opened. Any advice would be appreciated....
Hello,
I have a form with a combobox which has its record source to a table which has 5 records.
Is it possible to open the form so that by default the combo shows a specific record?
I have tried something like this but does not work:
On Open event
Me.Cbo = "ID"
ID is the record I need to show.
Thanks.
:confused: I was wondering if somebody can help with my default combo box problem?
I have a secured database whereby users logon, which is used as a scratch pad for keeping track of Purchase orders. A Form frmUserInput with two relevant fields for this problem 1. User Initials txtUsersInitials and 2. POBook (Purchase Order Book) which is the combo box cboPOBooks both unbound fields on the form.
The txtUsersInitials is generated automaitcally when the form is loaded using a VBA statement txtUsersInitials = Current User.
The list of the combo box is generated from a table tbleUsersPOBook and uses a query qryUsersDefaultPOBook as listed below;
SELECT tblUsersPOBook.UsersPOBookName
FROM tblUsersPOBook
WHERE (((tblUsersPOBook.UserName)=[Forms]![frmUserInput]![txtUsersInitials]));
This generates a drop box showing the Different department codes for each individual. So for some it is only one item for others up to three codes, this part works fine... :)
:cool: However here is my problem.
Since some people can sign off more than one Purchase Order book I have had to add an additional field in the table tblUsersPOBook called DefaultUsersPOBook which is a yes/no field, so only one yes exists for each user who logs on. I have created another query qryDefaultPOBook as listed below;
SELECT tblUsersPOBook.UsersPOBookName
FROM tblUsersPOBook
WHERE (((tblUsersPOBook.UserName)=[FORMS]![frmInputForm]![txtUsersInitials]) AND ((tblUsersPOBook.UsersPOBookDefault)=Yes));
When I place this query in the Default section of the combo box it gives me no result.
Firstly is it possible to have a varying default like this since each user will have a different default?
Or is there maybe a better way of achieving a default which is variable for each user based on thier default Purchase order book in the table tblUsersPOBook for the field "Yes" in DefaultUsersPOBook ? :confused:
I am trying to set the result of a query as the default value for a text or combo box. I have tried setting the query as the default value in the box's property. I have also tried doing it in VB. The code looks like this
Dim SQL AS String
SQL = "SELECT Address
FROM Table1
WHERE Name = Forms!Main_frm!name_lbx.Value;"
Forms!Address_frm!address_cbx.DefaultValue = SQL
I have also tried
Dim SQL AS String
SQL = DoCmd.OpenQuery([update address_qry])
Forms!Address_frm!address_cbx.Value = SQL
Where update address_qry is the same as the above.
I keep both forms. I know how to do it by setting the queries as values in a list box, then transfering the values to the text or combo boxes. But I was hoping there was an easier way.
Thanks
