Hi
Can anyone create a form with a combobox where you can select a form and this form will display in an static area.
Then you can choose another form in the combobox and it will display in the same spot.
the forms that will be displayed are exactly the same size.
This would help me very much
Thanks
Mikael
I have a blank form with a subform. All I want to do is have a combo box with the names of the subforms in, and when you choose one it is displayed in the subform box.
Names of the subforms are:-
qselDuplicateCustomersByHomePhoneNumber
qselDuplicateCustomersByMobileNumber
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurname&Street
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurnameHouseNo&PartStreet
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurnameHouseNo&Street
I'd like to display them more readable in the combo box, i.e. 'Duplicate Customers by Mobile Number'.I'd also prefer that the subform box is blank when the form is opened.
Can't seem to figure this out.
I built a db for tracking and entering sales info but I'm having a problem with one of my combo boxes. To make entering data easier, I created a combo box that you can select a sales persons name from, then based on who is selected, their Title and Office location also populated.
The problem I have is when I want to manually type in the Name and other info for a temporary sales person. How can I allow users to choose from the drop down or just type it in if that person is not in the list?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I have two combo boxes. One with the customer and one with the customer contact. These boxes seem to be working fine however, after you select the customer and then the customer contact box updates, it isn't allowing me to choose the contact. Nothing happens when you click.

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have several combo "boxes" in one form. The form is based on one table. In the table there are several fields which use a look-up (combo) drop down box to choose from: Type, Description, Manufacturer and Location.
In the form I want a combo box for Type, to bring up specific records in a subform, then I want a combo box for Description to bring up another set of records (within that Type of equipment) and a third combo box for Location to bring up all equipment within that location.
When I have tried to set this up - it changes some of the data in the in the subform - which changes it in the underlying table. If it set the form to open in New Record, then nothing shows up in the drop down box. Is there some If, THen code I could use to make it look first in the Type, then in the Description field, then close those out and look for the set of records that match in the location field?
Does that make sense?
I know how to manipulate in MSAccess templates, etc., but I don't know much about the underlying codes.
Thanks for any help!!!
I'm trying to sort and filter a continuous form. I want to sort by descending and ascending, but I also want to have a combo box for filtering. For example, there a combo box for sorting with Value List as the RowSourceType, the list would be "Ascending" and "Descending", and there should be another combo box to choose the field to be sorted with RowSourceType as Field List from a query.
My field names are: "LastName", "FirstName", "MiddleName". But I want them to appear as "Last Name:, "First Name", "Middle Name". I want to be able to change the display of the field names within my combo box which should come from my query. How is that possible? I already tried to put caption in the properties but it didn't work.
My intentions are to get my combo box to display data into a field in my form, when it is changed/selection is made. So far my form has the following:
Combobox: CBOCharacters
Field: CharacterGender
Both of these are in the same table; tbl_Characters. The data type for CBOCharacters is a number and its called CharacterID in the table.
So far I have created this piece of code:
Private Sub CBOCharacters_AfterUpdate()
Me.CharacterGender = DLookup("CharacterGender", "qry_StillNeeded", "[CharacterID]= " & Me.CBOCharacters)
End Sub
When I run this event procedure i get an error:
Runtime error '2471'
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error '[CharacterID]'
I'm working on a project that uses a barcode scanner. The user will scan a barcode which will choose an item from a combo box. The result of what it enters will populate a text box. I have that part working fine.
The next step is to get it to open a form based on the value in the textbox. The textbox will have about 7 different possible values and each one should open a different form.
The way this is supposed to work:
User approaches a machine and scans the barcode. He is presented with a form giving him options based on the type of equipment the machine is. A compressor for example would present him with a set of options for compressors (gauge readings, maintanence, etc).
I have an unbound form with two controls:
cboAssetNumber
txtType
How to code this and which events to code it in. Users will be going from machine to machine and using the form over and over again so I need to somehow manage the clearing of the form to begin again with another barcode scan.
I saw another thread about a barcode scanner and one response was to program the scanner to send the barcode and then send an "Enter" press to move focus to the next control. I've looked through the documentation and haven't been able to find if that is possible. Right now it sends the number and that's it. It's a "Motion" Tablet.
Hi,
I am building a database that calculates freight costs for shipments.
I have one table that has order data with fields such as [Order Number], [Origin], [Destination], [Service Level], [Weight].
The service level is one of 4 values: PRE 9, PRE 12, NEXT DAY, NEXT DAY +1.
The origin and destination use country codes such as BE, AT, CZ, PL for Belgium, Austria, Czech, and Poland respectively.
I also have rate sheets from carriers such as DHL and UPS and they provide their rates in the following format (numbers are made-up as real rates are confidential): [Origin], [Destination], [Service Level], [0 to 0.5 kg], [0.5 to 1.0kg], [1.0 to 1.5kg], [1.5 to 2.0kg], etc all the way up to 30kg. The rate is then in the appropriate column and the row gives the origin-destination-service level combination.
(sample freight rate table uploaded as zipped excel sheet in attachment)
I need to return the rate from the appropriate row based on the [Origin], [Destination] and [Service Level] fields (easy enough), which is easy enough.
The hard part is selecting the correct field to return. I tried usign a Choose expression but Access rejected it saying it was too complex (maybe because too many choices?).
So I'm stuck. And working towards a deadline... :-)
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks,
Martin.
I have an option button for a field [Fully Paid] (Yes/No) in my LoanT and i want to know if it's possible for my database to automatically choose an option depending on a calculated field
(Calculated field from another query) = [Outstanding Balance]
Say... if [outstanding balance] is = 0 or negative (refundable), then Yes should be On, if not it should remain No/off so that i wouldn't have to go over every record and manually choose the option
The option button is very useful when i want to display loans which are Paid and/or still active. How do I go about this?
Including check boxes (representing the query fields) in an interactive access form, in order to decide which fields should be visible.
I think the solution is building an invent in VBA for each check box, however I'm not an expert in Access VBA and don't know how to write the code.
In the example that I've uploaded, in the Form1, when I run the query, all fields are displayed, i.e. VENDOR, REGION, CUSTOMER and MATERIAL are displayed. How can I manage it in the form with a listbox to display only the REGION or MATERIAL for instance.
I have combo box # 1 with value list of "OLD" and "NEW" and combo box # 2 with its row source coming from a query. Here's the scenario - A user chooses "OLD" on the first record from combo box # 1 and the code works fine. But when the user chooses "OLD" again on the next record, what code do I write so that combo box # 2 displays a 0?
So to re-itirate, please help me write the code if the item on the list is selected again, the value of the other combo box would display 0?
Please help. Thank you.
I have a form that calculates freight costs. I'm using a combo box for the user to select the route of the shipment from shipping port to destination port. The combo box has 2 fields. The index which is stored in the database and the description which is displayed to the user. I used the wizard to create the combo box and set the index to be saved in a table. Everything works fine, the freight cost is calculated correctly and the data is stored as designed.
The problem is when if the user goes back later and opens the screen to view the freight information, the combo box doesn't display what was selected previously. Therefore, no freight is calculated and the user has to reselect the combo box again. When I check the table, the index value of what was selected is in the table, but it will not display in the combo box.
. . . . Additional info to this post. . . . The combo box is set to use a data from a standard table. The user can only select what is displayed in the list. However, the index is then stored in another table after the selection is made. I want the combo box to do something like, if a selection was previously made then displayed what was select, if not, then display the data from the standard table.
What did I do wrong during the set up? Thanks for your help solving this problem.

I need some help please
I have a db that has three forms (1 frmSearch, 1 frmFindCountyInfo and 1 subfrmFindCountyInfo (embedded in the frmFindCountyInfo)
I also have 2 tables (States and CountyInfo with StateID and CountyID set as PK in each).
Now I am trying to design it in such a way that when someone double clicks a State from the Mainform (FrmSearch), it should bring the frmFindCountyInfo with the corresponding state info for that State and this works fine.
Now in the subfrmFindCountyInfo, I want the user to be able to pick from a combobox a county within the Counties from the state selected and displayed in the frmFindCountyInfo
Data Source for FrmSearch: States
Data Source for FrmFindCountyInfo: States
Data Source for SubrmFindCountyInfo: CountyInfo
I also have a one to many relationship defined between StateID in States table and StateID in CountyInfo Table (I dunno if I am using it right though)
I have a query that works in Datasheet view but when I run the form, it picks just one county and there are non on the droplist.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Here are my queries…
Query to get State and Corresponding Info (works Fine)
SELECT States.StateID, [State] & " " & [Alias] AS StateFullName, States.Alias
FROM States;
Query to get County and corresponding data (seem to work in datasheetview but pulls up just first alphabetical county in combo box on form)
SELECT CountyInfo.County, CountyInfo.ReleaseFee, CountyInfo.ReleaseComment, CountyInfo.AssignmentFee, CountyInfo.AssignmentComment, CountyInfo.AdditionalInfo, CountyInfo.LastUpdated
FROM CountyInfo INNER JOIN States ON CountyInfo.StateID = States.StateID
WHERE ((([Forms]![FrmFindCountyInfo]![State])=[CountyInfo]![State]))
ORDER BY CountyInfo.County;
Also when I run subfrmFindCountyInfo alone ( I have to input State) it has the drop down with all the counties.
I dunno whatelse to do. Any help willbe very much appreciated.
I have created a combo box that simulates browsing, but limits it to a single filepath. I would like to store this file path along with the filename into my database in a field. There are two ways of doing this that I have found work, but i need a less cluttered way. 1) My rowsource string is created byrowString = rowString & filePath & fileName &";"fileName = dirthat's in a loop that reads all the files in the directory.... the problem with setting this rowsource to my combobox is that its very long and cluttered looking combo boxMy secont way is: rowString = rowString & fileName &";"fileName = dirThen i make a hidden text box whose value is filePath + Me!cboBox where the cboBox has the string value of the file (Sample1.jpg) In this instance i make the text box the control source instead of the combo box... but I'm pretty sure that's a bad way of doing what I want to doboth of these ways seem ... redundant, so i was wondering if there is a way to do this otherwise ?

I am building a booking system for a friends business, all free of charge as I believe it's a good project to get experience in VBA.
The booking form has a 'Date' Combo box, 'Name' Combo box and a 'Time' Combo box. The 'Time' Combo box displays times in 10min intervals from 0600 to 2100, and this data is stored in a table called 'tblTimes'. I need to build a query that checks the main table 'tblBooking', for a selected date chosen in the 'Date' Combo box by the user, to see what times have been used up and thus only display, in the 'Time' Combo box, those times not yet used for that particular datedate.
I am sure, to some of you experts out there, that this is quite a simple query. I looki forward to your input.
I'd like to be able to select a choice of printer manufacturer(as a combo box), which will then display all the printer cartridges made by that manufacturer in a table below the combo box. I have made the forms (with the relevent combo box looking up manufacturers) but am now sure how to relate the two so that the table updates, depending on which manufacturer is selected. Again this seems like a simple problem but I am new to access and sitll working my way around the program.
(Yes, I have tried goodle, but I can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for)

Hi
I am posting this question again, as I think there was some miscommunication from my side. I sinccerely apologise.
Actually there are three fields on a form.
1. Combo Box : Label is Name
2. Text Box : Label is Code
3. Text Box : Label is Department.
These three fields are stored in the table.
I wants that when the form gets loaded, then in the combo box field all the names from the table should appear. When I select the particular name from the list and the focus is lost from the combo box then the two values from the table should show the corresponding text boxs.
Thanks in Advance

Is there a way to force a combo box to display the first value in the list as its default value?
To be more specific the combo box needs to display this value when the parent form is opened or when you use VBA to change or add the row source.
When ever I use a saved query as the row source the default value is always Null.
Thanks Everyone,
Joe
I am trying to display two fields when the combo box is unselected.
Basically I have a table source manufacturer. This table has Manufacurer e.g. Nokia. Model No e.g. 3230.
So on the combo box i want it to show Nokia 3230. Saves me linking to a subform to show the information.
Can it be done???:)

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Combo Box is tied to a table with many entries. When I click on it to display the table values it takes several seconds to display. Is there any way I can "pre-load" the Combo Box (such as on form load, etc.) so when I click on it it displays more quickly? Or is there another way to speed it up?
Thanks ...
