on my form i have two unbound combo boxes and an unbound listbox. when i delete or go to a new record these still contain the data from the previous record. what is the code to clear them? have looked through the propeties and there is no useful 'clear' event that i can see. :confused:
cheers!
Hi Everyone again, (i'll try my best to explain) (Sorry if it doesn't make sense)
I have a main form - everything on the formn is linked to the User ID
I have created a List box1 which contains many selection. (Lets say a menu for food)
Once one item has been selected i have a button which adds the selected choice to another List Box2
this can be repeated to show Every item the client has selected.
I have linked both List Boxes to the User ID
This all works fine, it reconises the user IDs on every record but i would like the List Box2 to be clear
instead of holding all the previous records data when a new record is created.
Any ideas or am i barking up the wrong tree,
Thanks again.
Hi everyone,
I have been making progress with customizing a
MS Access program, but one major problem is that
I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box
that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I
find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of
values from only the parameter that is primary key.
More specifically, the program is set up as follows:
I have two tables in this program: One that is called
"invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of
these tables, there is one common parameter, which
is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key,
and I used the "relationships" function to tie this
parameter to itself between the two tables.
I was successful in setting up a list-box for the
"Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box
for another parameter that is supposed to display
a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list
of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials.
In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to
take so that the database stores a list of people's initials.
Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each
record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key.
How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of
different people's initials, or in other words how can I get
all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of
initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried
different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the
Design mode of Tables, including Display Control,
Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column,
but the outcome is that the only parameter that I
get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which
is Item Number.
I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how
to correct this.
On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and
on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a
specific date range so that I can limit each report to a
specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well.
Thanks.

[image1] option1

etc..
kinda the way outlook does their labeling feature. thanks
(pls see end of thread for further clarification)
Hi
I am trying to achieve the following using 2 combo boxes
Box "a" is a list of courses from tbl_training_courses. The user selects the appropriate course.
Box "b" is a list of dates for each course from tbl_course_dates. Thus the user can select which date per course they want to book someone onto, and this value is then stored in tbl_training_record as the date the person is booked onto.
Its not working!!! It either displays blank values, or it starts a parameter query which I didnt want.
In the combo wizard, access refers to "remembering the value selected for later use" - i guess this might be what I need to use, remembering the value from the first and using it to select rows for the 2nd box based on identical courseID - but I can't seem to find this in Help file.
Any ideas anyone?
Hello
I need to select information from different combo boxes. Using a command button, i would then like the information transferred onto a list box.
I have so far managed to link all my combo boxes so the result comes out on a list box. if one combo box is left blank, i get no information in the list box. is there a simple way of doing this.
Thanks

During the course of it's development I have created about twenty tables whose sole purpose is to house data for use in combo and list boxes. They have no other purpose.
I am now in the process of creating the maintenance side of this project and how to manage these lists. In the past I have created a form with a multitude of subforms to manage these lists.
I have several combo boxes and textboxes showing quanity,productname,
size, and price. How can I pass all of this info in a single row that also calculates
the quanity and price. Also, multiple selections can be added, so several items can
can added in other rows. THe ability to cancel each row would be required as well.
Thanks
how to auto populate list box based on two dependent combo boxes.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to put together a form where employees will be entering maintenance information into my database. One of the requirements for this data is that when they perform repair work on an asset, they have to list a problem, cause and remedy. These are codes that are specific to each asset.
The closest thing I can think of to what I am trying to acheive is the selectors on car search websites. You select a MAKE, and then the MODEL list is narrowed down based on that, then you pick the TRIM, which is narrowed down based on the model selection. I have an Excel spreadsheet of the Assets(Failure Class), Problems, Causes, and Remedies...I'm just not sure how to put this into Access to get the desired output. I have attached a sample of the Excel spreadsheet for illustration.
I believe I'm going to have to put each of the columns in a seperate table and use relationships..but I'm not sure about that.
I am using this code:
Code:
Dim ctlTextBox As Control
For Each ctlTextBox In Me.Controls
If TypeName(ctlTextBox) = "TextBox" Then
ctlTextBox.Value = ""
End If
Next ctlTextBox
to clear all text boxes on a Main Form.When I try the same code in the Form Load of the sub form - it says I can't assign a value to this object.I just want the Main Form and Sub Form textboxes to be empty when they both Load up.There is a selection combo box that will populate the main form and the sub form [Master-Detail] once a selection is made.Right now the main form has all empty textboxes but the subform datasheet is showing detail irrelevant records belonging to another master record and I want no data till a cmb box selection is made.

How can I clear the entire ListBox?
Hey guys,
I have created a list box that is based on a select statement using the value of another list box.
for example:
box1 lets you select aaaa
box2 shows a list of all the records that have aaaa
now I need to know how to clear the list as box1 is changed
right now it will give me
aaaa123
aaaa789
bbbb123
bbbb789
I need to know how to clear it so that
aaaa is deleted and bbbb shows when the code is stepped through a second time.
code is as follows:
Private Sub Car_Empty_GotFocus()
prefix_input = Form_Car_Loading.Prefix.Value
Set db = DBEngine.OpenDatabase blah, blah, blah
sqlstatement = "SELECT [prefix], [Car_number], [Date_loaded] " & _
" FROM Car_loading where isnull(Date_Loaded)= true and prefix= '" & prefix_input & "' "
Set record = db.OpenRecordset(sqlstatement, dbOpenSnapshot, dbSeeChanges)
Move first
Do Until record.EOF = True
Form_Car_Loading.Car_Empty.AddItem (record(0) & record(1))
record.MoveNext
Loop
db.Close
End Sub
When you first open Access 2007 you can see a list of recent databases on the right under the heading 'Open Recent Database.'How do I clear that list?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am calling a stored proc and passing some params (sql). i need to loop through the execute a few times though before I kill the connection.
I am getting an error saying there are too many params on the second run through. What i need is to clear the param list once it's executed once.
Is this possible or to i need to keep killing the conn then re-connecting to the db?
I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
Thanks,

what's the best way of clearing the contents of a combo box? i don't want to change the row source, just make it blank as though a selection has not been made.
i have two unrelated combo boxes on a form; there will probably be more later. when i pick a value from one i want the other(s) to clear.
on the after update event of each combo i've tried clearing the contents of the other combo with these:
- me.othercombo = null
- me.othercombo = 0
- me.othercombo = ""
- me.othercombo.value = ...
- me.othercombo.undo
- etc.
'= null' clears the other combo.
'= 0' also clears the other combo.
but i think i'm missing something here. each combo also has a cmdbutton that will take the user to another form based on the selection made.
if i use '= 0', the other combo clears but its cmdbutton still works. even if the combo appears to be empty its associated cmdbutton still opens the next form (it should produce a msgbox asking the user to make a selection).
'= null' clears the combo and its cmdbutton produces the appropriate message to make a selection. so that's what i'm using right now. is this the best way? can something = null?
Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler

I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.
In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".
Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:
Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
View 6 Replies View Relatedthere is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
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

Another quick request:
What would the code be for a button which clears the contents of a text box or a combo box on a form?
Many thanks,
