I have a control called Pnummer (its personell number).After a user enters this number i want my combobox called Kenteken (Licenseplate number) to fill with only the licence plate numbers of the employee from the table Parkeerbeheer (Parking management).Should be simple enough, its like cascading comboboxes but then with only one combobox.So i put this code in the afterupdate event of the Pnummer control :
Code:
On Error Resume Next
kzlKenteken.RowSource = "Select parkeerbeheer.kenteken " & _
"FROM parkeerbeheer " & _
"WHERE parkeerbeheer.pnummer = '" & fldPnummer.Value & "' " & _
"ORDER BY parkeerbeheer.kenteken;"
I have left the rowsource blanc as above code handles that.
The only thing that comes to mind why it doesn't work is that the table bound to this form is NOT the source where i pull the licenceplate numbers from.
I have created a database that is used to track various programs that our organisation runs, and keeps a record of which Division the program is in.
at the moment I have a main form which has a combo box that lists Divisions, then I have a subform that has a combo box on it that lists the purchasers.
what I would like to do, is to have the Purchasers list update when a Division is selected in that main form, as depending on which Division is chosen the contents of the Purchasers list changes drastically.
I would like to know how can i reference a combo box to the value of a text box on the form it is for a purchasing system.
if i select product one i only want the the order quantity for that item to show and the same with the price field as all the reorder levels and cost information is stored in a table. i have created queries only selecting the product code and reorder quantity and the product code and the cost price.
I am very new to Access and all that it entails but I have really learned a lot viewing everyones posts. I cannot seem to get my current problem solved. I am trying to have a combo box appear depending on a preivous combo box selection.
1st combo box is "ApplianceCombo" 2nd combo box is "SpeedCombo" Set to Visible = No
1st Combo Box has Dishwasher Vacuum Washing Machine etc
If they choose Washing Machine I would like my 2nd combo box to appear which they can then choose 1000 1100 1200 1300
Hope I have explained this well enough. Thank you in advance for any help Kim
I have a list of Stores of which there are 4 Formats (Super, Extra, Metro, Express). Each of these formats have their own specific grades.
What i want to do is when entering a new store via a form, In the Format box i would choose one of the formats from a combo box then when i progress to the Grade Entry, i would only want to see the Grades for that particular Store Format.
Would i need to have different lookup tables for each of the format grades & how do i achieve the above?
Ive seen this done on Airline web sites, ie select outgoing airport then the destinations change to only those that can be reached by flights from the Outgoing airport.
Quick question for you. I know how to set a required field, but how do I edit two field so that they are dependant on each other? IE. How do I set my form to make FIELD1 required ONLY if FIELD2 is empty and vice versa? Thanks very much and I hope I've explained myself correctly.
What's the correct syntax to search for in the forums, for this question.
Have a customer database, where the customers records are split across two tables. The second table holds the customers address; when this changes I need to record the date so that in the future, any invoices etc always have the correct address on them for that particular date.
I have a cross tab query which works quite happily and when you create the record it adds a date/time stamp. However what I cannot seem to figure out is how to save any ammendments to the address etc as a new record, whilst not adding a new record to the non "dative information" such as Name, DOB etc. The PK for table2 is made up of the Customer Number And Date/Time Stamp. At the moment any changes I make to the existing record in table2 simply over writes the edited fields..
Can I do this through the QBE, or does this have to done using recordsets?
I have a question about lookup fields. I have the tables below. The main table is [vid] and i reference other tables like [manufacturer], [model].. etc. to fill in [vid]. I have pull down lookups for all of [vid] but it is showing all models, makes, etc. I need helping making the lookup row dependant. For example when I am in [vid] and click on the [model] combo box for vid=1, I only want to see the models for that manufacturer(Ford), so it will only show mustang, escape, and navigator; not all of the models. For vid=2, when I click the pull down for model I only want to see Gm Models, corvette and cavalier. So this is what i mean be row dependant. Is this possible?
Thanks so much in advanced, Michael
[vid] vid,year,mft, make, model, submodel, ... 1,2005,ford,ford,Mustang,GT 2,2005,GM,Chevrolet,Cavalier, LS 3,2005,dcx,Jeep,Wrangler,base ... 30,2005,ford,Lincoln,Navigator, base
[manufacturer] mid,mftName 1,ford 2,gm 3,dcx
[Model] modelID,modelname,modelmft 1, Mustang,Ford 2, Escape, Ford 3, Corvette, GM 4, Cavalier, GM 5, Navigator, Ford 6, Wrangler, DCX
Hi, im kind of new to access and im not sure whether this is possible or not, but i have a problem which needs to be solved by 4 list boxes on the same form.
The first list box will have 4 choices in it and depending on which one is chosen the second list box will be updated. This continues on to the 4th list box, which when a choice has been made a new form will open with the relevant information from the tables.
I hope this is enough information to enable someone to aid me with my problem, thankyou very much for your time.
I have a list box containing various items. I would like to have another field return a numeric value depending on what is selected in the list box. For example, if Closed is selected from the list box, the other field would return a 1. How can I do this. The new field also needs to be linked to a table so the values are saved in the table. Thanks for the help.
Is it possible to hide text boxes/controls on forms dependant on the user ? I have a had a (quick) look at access security and it appears that it just enables read/write access to objects not controls on the objects.
I would like to somehow put the link to the picture in a field in a table, and then have the picture change depending on the record I am viewing (which is altered by the combo box pertaining to another field) ok thanks!
First please accept my apologies if this has been done before. In the attached database I am going to have a form which is continous what I am looking to do is change the colour of the box which is in the background to the associated colour from the quote table for example
if they choose water then it will look at the TBLQuoteType and change the box colour to the colour which has been assigned to that value.
Hope this explains it ok I will continue to try and figure it out but I thought I could also use your expert knowledge.
I am sorry to have to ask. I have been researching for the last two weeks and still can't find the solution.
Could you help me. I have a web page in asp, which has a "submit" button. When this is pressed I want to access a MS Access database called "Passliabcapture" within this single database - I want to examine each record in one table (results), and then dependant on the results of the examination (ie if the value of a status field - "D"), add a new record to a second table (transaction file), and then continue looping through this function until the end of the first table.
Sorry if it seems simple - but I think I am - simple that is...
The code I have tried is as follows. All I get is an error saying
I have a form that has a combo box with a list of selections. I also have a tab control with a tab that corresponds to each option in the combo box, so that I can show the details specific to the selected item.
Is there a way to have the value of the combo box select the appropriate tab in the tab control automatically? And I don't want it to select the tab only after I've entered or selected something from the combo box. I'd like it to select based on the already stored value of the combo box. So if the combo box shows Cars, then the Cars tab would automatically select.
In different office application we see that drop down combo box is possible to control by pressing Tab button and drop by arrow key from key board. But I can't do this in Ms Access Database which I built.
So, How I can control the combo box value by pressing tab button and value select by arrow key pressing.
I have used and maintained Access databases in the past but this is my first experience with building a new database. I started by borrowing every Access book my Tech department has on hand and going through them. I have gotten to the point where my tech department can not help me because my question is beyond their own knowledge. I have searched through many different website’s forums and have failed to find what I am looking for. It very well may be out there and I am using the wrong terminology in my searches. The most important piece of information to be stored in my entire database is of course the one that I am having the hardest time figuring out how to set up.
I have a table called “Document Index” which will be a master log of every document that passes through my department. This table has the three fields which are important to my problem/question. 1. The “LOC” field represents the location at which the document was logged. The “LOC” field has a working validation rule that only allows a “D” or “S”, representing the department head’s office or the site office. 2. The “DUO” field value represents the three digit unique number assigned to a project by another department (accounting) 3. The “ID Number” field is a unique number we will assign to each document that is this table’s primary key. It is also where my problem sits. The “ID Number” format has been decided upon by my boss and the rest of the office has already begun stamping these ID Numbers onto every document (which I will have to go through and enter once the database is complete). I am stuck with the format as it is shown in the example below. “ID Number” format is: value of “LOC”- value of “DUO”-number
I know what I want the field to do but I have no idea how to turn my ideas into the proper code to see if it works. So here is my idea of a solution with example values entered. A.Fill in form for “LOC” and “DUO” B.At this point Access would run a behind the scenes search and return all ID #’s that had a that “LOC and “DUO” C.At this point Access would run a behind the scenes search through only those records found in step B to find the highest “ID Number” previously assigned D.At this point Access would make a calculation: adding one (+1) to the “ID Number” found in step C E.At this point Access would insert the result found in step D into the “ID Number” field of my current entry (which until this step the record only contained the “LOC” and “DUO”)
For example: if my first 4 entries had this info: LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description D410D-410-1 Wendy’s Ransom Note S410S-410-1 Priate's Demands D415D-415-1 Cinderella’s Birthday Invitation D410D-410-2 Peter Pan’s Response to Ransom Note
Then I complete step A by typing into the form: LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description D410D-410-1 Wendy’s Ransom Note S410S-410-1 Priate's Demands D415D-415-1 Cinderella’s Birthday Invitation D410D-410-2 Peter's Response to Ransom Note D410
Access would execute step B finding: LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description D410D-410-1 Wendy’s Ransom Note D410D-410-2 Peter's Response to Ransom Note
Access would execute step C finding: LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description D410D-410-2 Peter's Response to Ransom Note
Access would execute step D finding: D-410-2 + 1 = D-410-3
Access would execute step E: LOCDUOID NumberDocument Description D410D-410-1 Wendy’s Ransom Note S410S-410-1 Priate's Demands D415D-415-1 Cinderella’s Birthday Invitation D410D-410-2 Peter's Response to Ransom Note D410D-410-3 Then I would finish entering the information for that record.
I would appreciate any help you can offer, even if just pointing me in the right direction or correct terminology for my searches.
How can I get access to hide certain fields or controls on a form if a certain field has no data?
Allow me to explain further:
I have a form that displays data = frmPlantMain and a associated image = Image1 The image is stored outside of the db as a jpeg and the field in the record source table (Image1) contains a link to the image. For example: C:databasePicture1.jpg
There is also a hidden text box that contains the message "No Image available" = lbl_NoPix This would be displayed in place of the image if no image has been inserted.
I also have a seperate "insert new image" command button = cmdInsertPic
If the current record has a image then I want to have the controls Image1,lbl_NoPix & cmdInsertPic hidden. This seems fairly easy but it gets more complicated now.
If there is no image I would like these controls visable so that the user can add a new image. I would then need the record to be requiried or refreshed to reflect the fact that a new image has been added.
This is where I fall down - I do not know how to tell access to look at the field in the table (Image1) and if there is no linked or associated image then set the visable propertys of controls a,b & c on the form to true.
I hope I have explained my problem correctly and I thank you for your time in advance.
Is it possible to have a drop down list dependant on the date selected? The form has date, then period time. Would it be possible for the period time drop down list to change if the date is selected on a saturday?
I'm currently using a Form with combo boxes to select query criteria. On the same form I have a control button which opens up a Report which is based on information generated by the underlying query. This is a fairly classic way to generate Report contents, and it works just fine when something is selected in each combo box.
The problem arises when I want to leave one or more of the combo boxes blank (i.e not select anything from the drop down list), basically to broaden the query output to include all entries for that particular field in the Table. The Report will open OK but have no content.
Is there any way around this? I'm using MS Access 97. Any assistance offered is very much appreciated.
I want to have a Combo Box on a form, that derives its values from a Table, but does not send selected values to another table. I want to use the value selected in the combo box in VBA code.I have set up a combo box, without a control source, and it shows the values in the drop down list but after I select one the box just goes empty. I expected that after selecting a value that value would be displayed in the combo box (and that would then become the value of the combo box that I could then use in code. I.e, CmdBox1.Value). If so, what do I need to do so that the value selected is displayed (and becomes the value of the combo box?).
I have a combobox containing the "Field Names" of a table called "Main" Also, I have a report called xyz which only has one field.
All I want, whatever field name user selects in the combo, report displays the results of selected field name only.
example
Main Table has three fields (Fie1, Fie2 and Fie3) The combo box lists the names of all three fields (Fie1 to Fie3) Report has a textbox in the detailed section.
I want user to select the field name from combo click button to generate the report (lets say if user selected Fie2) and want textbox to list all the records of Fie2
i tried [Forms]![Fm1]! [cm1] but it is listing the field names not the values in the field...
Ii want to make a combo box(a) for users to select it but there are many data, so i want to create another combo box(b) to control which data can display on combo box(a). Can i do so?
