Selecting Memo Field From ComboBox
May 29, 2005Hi All,
I am not sure if this is an easy one or not..
I have a field in a table named Stock_Alias. This field was originally set as a Number field. I have a combo box on a form, which contains the Stock_Alias numbers. When a number is selected, the remaining fields are shown in text boxes.
I have had to change the Stock_Alias field to a memo, to incorporate Numbers & Characters.
I cannot seem to hit on the right code to get the same results as i did when the field was a number field..
This was the code I was using to select the field as a number...
Private Sub Cmbo_Stock_Alias_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[Stock_Alias] = " & Str(Me![Cmbo_Stock_Alias])
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
Forms :: Log History Of Inputs - Using ComboBox To Update Memo Field
Jun 25, 2013I am currently using the column history to log the history of inputs into a memo field.
But i now need to swap how my database runs and now require a combo box to have the same history function, as this is for a status updates and i require users to only input certain status's.
I no that I cant use the columnhistory command with a combo box.
When selecting a status from the combo box it automatically update the memo field (which will be hidden on the form) so the column history function works.
Memo Field, Will Show Only Partial Contents On Query
Mar 24, 2008Running 2007
I never ran into this problem before.
I have a qry, with showing totals (group by). One of the fields is called comments, which is a memo field. I am only seeing partial comments.
When I redesign the query and take out the "totals", I see the entire comments.
Is there a fix to this?
Modules & VBA :: Multi-Value ComboBox Selections
Dec 12, 2014I found a snippet of code online that I'm trying to use in an asset tagging database I'm developing, but I'm struggling to get it working. To start, I have a multi-column ComboBox that displays information in this format:
1001 | iPhone5c
1002 | iPhone5s
1003 | iPhone6
1004 | iPad2
1005 | iPad3
When you select an asset to be assigned to an employee, the ComboBox displays only the asset number (e.g., 1001). While that information is pertinent to our I.T. group, when Human Resources goes to collect an asset from an employee, they don't want to be taking cases off of phones or tablets to verify they have the correct asset number. They want to see the person has an iPhone5s and an iPad2 that they have to collect. So, what I'm trying to accomplish in my VBA is to have access read all the asset numbers and provide the descriptions of those items in another field.
The code I have so far is:
Dim ctl As ComboBox
Dim varItm As Variant, str As String
str = ""
Set ctl = Me.Combo217
For Each varItm In ctl.ItemsSelected
str = ctl.Column(2, varItm) & ","
Next varItm
Me.Text207.Value = str
Since this is code is something I found online, I'm not sure why I can't get it to work. I've never worked with the Variant declaration, but I think this may be where the code is breaking because whenever I remove the "For Each...Next", the code correctly assigns the value of column 2 of my very first row to my text box (Text207). Everything I've seen looks as though I don't have to declare varItm because it's function is to represent the rows that are checkmarked for ctl.ItemsSelected.
Modules & VBA :: Show The First Primary Key Field In The Combobox When The Form Loads?
Aug 30, 2013I'm using a combobox to select a record based off my primary key field, and then a separate button to print that particular record.
When the form loads, it has the first record selected but the combobox is empty so that if I press my button it will still print the first record.
when I press the combobox my list of entrys in the primary key field shows up and the combobox is no longer blank.
How do I show the first primary key field in the combobox when the form loads?

Forms :: Display TextBox Value Based On Combobox Selections
Jun 5, 2015I have a form that has 3 combo boxes and a text box that I want to be a lookup. I have a little experience with DLookUp, but I do not think that will work here. The three combo boxes are linked to queries, and Tables. The first combo box is for choosing "Precious" or "Base" metals. The second combo box is filtered from the first and displays the "Metal Names". The third combo box is to choose a "Metal Market". There are currently four options for that. I want the text box to display the "Metal Market Price" based on the second and third combo box selections.
Here is a screenshot of the table with all of the metals and their market prices filled in with dummy values for now:

Metals screenshot 2.PNG
Here is a screenshot of the relevant Form: Metals form screenshot.PNG
Here is a screenshot of the Table that relates to the relevant form: Metals table design.PNG
Here is a screenshot of the Metal Market table that the Query is based on: Metal Market Table.PNG

Apr 12, 2014Using Access 2007. I have a form (Broker), with a combobox (cboClassifier), that I use to select 1 of 4 phrases, display the selected phrase and color the field with a color that I've assigned to each phrase.

Can't Get A Combobox To Show The Value I Want
Apr 23, 2006i searched for similar combobox features, nut didn't find any that helped.
i have 2 unbound combos that get heir values from different tables
first combo1 gets its values from a query
SELECT [tbl_music].[MID], [tbl_music].[Artist], [tbl_music].[Song], [tbl_music].[CID] FROM tbl_music;
combo2 gets values from
SELECT [tbl_category].[CID], [tbl_category].[Category] FROM tbl_category;
IDs are autonumber and primary
The CID fields in the tables are in a 1..* relationship
Both are constructed with the wizard and the ID columns are hidden.
What i need is:
when selecting something from combo1, the combo 2 should show the right category for that song.
Hope i explained clearly enough.
I tried to use the dlookup function, but i get error 94, invalid use of null.
i'm using the afterupdate event.
I can update a textbox text, but can't do so with the combobox value.
Any ideas what i'm donig wrong :confused: :confused: :confused:

View 1 Replies View RelatedSave And Retrieve Multiple List-Box Selections In / From One Field
Feb 21, 2005Hi,
I’m trying to develop a form for coding data from historiocal documents into a dataset. The form is used to avoid errors when converting ‚questions’ in the codebook to the codes for later statistical analysis.
Some questions allow for multiple anwers – but need to be stored to one field in the data-table, separated by semicolon. Ideally I would have a list-box with the questions and write the codes into one field after selection. Another difficulty is, that later the data need to be read from the table and the selections should be visible in the form (if the table contains „1;6“ items 1 and 6 in the listbox should be highlighted).
I’d be grateful for tips or links to relevant sources.
Thanks!
Modules & VBA :: Dynamic Query Change Field Selections
Jun 25, 2014I am trying to build a function that will create a dynamic query for a chart on a Subreport.I am not exactly sure I am going about this the right way, but I need the user to be able to change selected fields for use in the query. I have a form with 3 combobox controls for selecting options to change the SQL statement. So far my code only deals with one of these comboboxes for simplicity. There is a button to call my function. Currently, the function is setting hidden text box values based on the combo controls, but I'm not sure if this is redundant.
I am using this as my guide for building the sql, but I am having trouble picking up the values in my text boxes for use in the SQL. [URL] .....
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
[code]...
how do I get a value from an unbound textbox on an unbound form into a string to use as sql? The value in the textbox is a number.
General :: Hide / Show Columns Based On Combobox
Jan 28, 2014I would like to know if the following is possible: I have a table, I have a form based on that table (datasheet view) and I would like for certain columns to visible or not based on the input on a Combobox (list of countries) that is based on another form.
I have searched on the web and I found that the following:
On a button based on the main menu form:
Code:
Private Sub Go_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stOpen As String
stOpen = Me!cboDest
stDocName = "Datasheet"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , , , , stOpen
and then on the event "on open" of the form Datasheet I have inserted the following:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Select Case OpenArgs
Case "USA"
Forms![Overflow]![Tasks].Visible = True
Forms![Overflow]![Constant Number (Min)].Visible = True
[Code] ....
I have done it as a test, but it appears that it does not work. It opens the forms, but it does not hide or show the columns based on the option, it brings all the columns.
General :: Combobox Filtering Listbox To Only Show Same Records
Apr 4, 2013Ok I have a list box (CounselorInitials) and a listbox (AssignedToYou)
The list box has 6 columns and is using a query (AssignedToMe). The important one is the 6th one (Counselor). All working off a table called DityLog.
I want to select initials in the combo box and then it will filter the listbox and only show records that are the same.
So if I select initials MC from the combo box I want the Listbox to show all records that have the initals with MC.

Show Current Record Value From Table In Combobox In Addition To Query Results
May 3, 2015I have a table, with a related value in another table. E.g. A Items table with a batch value from another table.
I have a form to enter how many of these items has been used and from which batch number they belong.
The batch number is from a dropdown, and batches can be finished(exhausted) and marked such in the table so they no more show in the dropdown.
All this works fine, until, I go back to a entry which was from a batch that has been finished. The combobox is empty although the (Already finished) batch number is mentioned in the table. This is perfectly normal as my query for the combobox is :
Code:
SELECT ItemBatch.ItemId, ItemBatch.ItemBatchNumber, ItemBatch.Finished, ItemBatch.ItemName
FROM ItemBatch
WHERE (((ItemBatch.Finished)=False)
AND ((ItemBatch.ItemName)=[Forms]![ItemMasterForm]![ItemDataSheet].[Form]![ItemName]));
What I want is to show the current batch number as well. I tried to make this query get the current value, but wasn't successful. I tried to make a calculated field based on the dropdown and show its value.
Is there any way I can show the batch number in the datasheet? I have to use a datasheet and not a form, because there will be many sub records for the main form, and having a form will be very uneasy.
