Hi all~
A database front end which was built by somebody else got handed to me to do some updates (as the person who created it is no longer with the company).
The database currently has roughly ~30 reports, about 15 of which are pulled daily, and the rest weekly/monthly. Part of the report criteria selected by the user are beginning and end dates. Currently the dates are input via text boxes on a form, then referenced by the SQL statement which generates the report data.
The users want the text boxes to be changed to either a drop down list or a calendar which they can just click on a date instead of typing it in. I know .NET provides controls for a built in calendar which you can use for date selection, but this database is simply an Access front end, so I cannot use .NET.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this via VBA?

I want to create a drop down list that is dependent on a control button. Drop down menu changes depending on the value entered in another field.
Example:
If ListBox1 = 1
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = a,b,c,d
If ListBox1 = 2
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = x,y,z
If ListBox1 = 3
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = l,m,n,o,p

I am creating a mail-merge application.
The data stored will be dealing with Students and Qualifications that they have attained. The link table in the relationships shown/attached, allows a Student to have multiple qualifications.
When I merge the data, I will need to list all of the qualifications that each student has attained, which will need to be either in a item list, or in a comma-separated list.
The list will need to be pulled from the link table (StudentQualifications). For example:
StudentID #1 >> Qualification #1 Description
StudentID #1 >> Qualification #2 Description
Etc
Etc
So, when the data is merged, it will specify that:
StudentID #1 has acheived Qualification #1 and Qualification #2 and Etc, Etc.
How can I create this list in the first place, which can then be used in the source of the merge for the document.
Any ideas as to how I can pull multiple information into either a single string to pass to the merge or into a list in the document would be appreciated.

I am currently creating a database to link together a maintenance system and a conditional reporting system and I’ve run into a little problem.
I am trying to create a form for assigning skills to a given contractor (contractor selected via a combo box (cboContractor)) by transferring selected items from a list box on the left (lstAvailable) to a list box on the right (lstselected). (much like any windows wizard would) This is done through the 4 buttons cmdSelect, cmdSelectAll, cmdDeselect, cmdDeselectAll.
Now it has been a long time since I have had to work with VB and I am struggling a little to create the required coding to pass data from one listbox to the other.
For reference:
CboContractor takes information from tblContractor. The data is ContID and ContName and the bound column is 1.
LstAvailable takes information from tblSkills. The data is SkillID, SkillComm and SkillNotes. Bound column is 1
LstSelected will place data into tblcontskills.
Tblcontskills has the fields, tcsID, ContID, SkillID
Can anyone help or does anyone know where I can find some good examples on the net as I have browsed through the search pages here and not really found a great deal that is valid
Thankyou in advance for your help everyone

I have a table (let's call it "tableA) with about 7 fields. One of the fields contains information that I need to do a query on so that I may find specific payees, for example:
The field is called "Payee" and in that field for each record, the information could be "At&T", "A T and T" or "Abercrombie & Fi", but there is also other information in that field along with At&T, etc., so the field for a record may look like this:
A T AND T MOBILI A T AND T MOBILI 10 90034 Bill Pay
or
ABERCROMBIE & FI 3042 PP 10 9111 DIRECT
Is there a way to set up another table (let's call it tableB) to have all the Payees names (such as AT&T or whatever) in it and by the push of a button (maybe macro), have a query go out and find all matches from tableB in tablea?
So, basically have the query look in tableA and find all the matches from TableB. Please understand that tableA could have records that contain the same name, but spelled a number of different ways, for example, AT&T or A T and T or ATandT or ATT. Again these names may or may not be embedded in with other information in a field.
Or is there a way that an Access query can look into an external list and find the records, example:
Have a text (file) list with all the names (separated by a comma or space - AT&T, AT & T, Amercrombie and FI, Abercom&Fitch, etc. Now have a query go to that list and find all records that match in my tableA?

Greetings to all !
Please help if you can.
I am trying to create a form that will allow me to populate a list.
For instance, I could have a drop down box with grocery shopping items in, then by selecting an item and then pressing a button, it would add it to a list I could see on my form. Then I would select another item and add that to my list. Therefore I would be creating a "shopping list" that I could see on my form, from a drop down box on my form.
Please help a foolish old Access user

I have 3 select queries which Im trying to output to a combo - Ive tried a UNION query but I get an error
ODBC-- call failed ODBC Driver SQLBase.....
Firstly is do the results need to match within a union query? I mean they have no relationship what so ever Im just trying to populate this combo with the same results.
Secondly is there a better way to do it? 2 of the select queries query a linked SQL table and the third is a local table. All of the select queries work on their own.

I am creating a database for creating quotations. The quotation number is generated using the date, for example the first quote today would be quote number "05202015-1" because it is the first one today. The next quote today would be quote number "05202015-2" and so on. Is there a way to make access automatically generate these quote numbers based on the date?

In my access form I provide the user a list of locations from various countries in a listbox . But the list is too long so I provide him a combobox for selecting a country. Selecting the country should update the listbox showing only the locations in that specific country.
So my SELECT from the listbox must cover the unselected state and show all entries and when a country is selected it must narrow the selection.
I tried to get this happen with the following SELECT statement containing a variable. Choosing a country in the Combobox results in a change of the variable and in a requery. This works after the first country is selected and for each country change, but the initial list is empty.
VBA in the loadform
'Application.TempVars.Add "varcountryselect", "*"
SELECT in the listbox "lstlocationsperproject"
SELECT tbllocations.locationID, tbllocations.country, tbllocations.localstreet, tbllocations.localcity FROM tbllocations WHERE ((tbllocations.country) Like [TempVar]![varcountryselect]);
VBA in the combobox
Application.TempVars("varcountryselect") = [Form]![kombcountryselect].Column(0)
Me.lstlocationsperproject.Requery
The values in [kombcountryselect].Column(0) are texts like "SPAIN", "MEXICO", etc.
Any hints, how I have to use the * for getting the complete list on the initial view ?

Hi All a newbie here so any help will be appreciated,
sorry for the long post but trying to give you all the information you might need.
I wrote a basic access database for my Church to aid in a paperwork audit for a charity food drop which we do monthly to give free food to the needy.
But each month it gets harder to find out who was in line first so I thought with all your help we may be able to randomize the names each month in a different order as to avoid confusion and also avoid people waiting in line as they turn up at 5am and we don't start until 9am.
So if this will work in access they can all come for 9am
I don't mind creating a new database and adding the additional information, if that's what it would take.
My Background I have created basic databases from scratch not using wizards, But I don't know much about code or how to implement it so any help in where code goes it would be very much appreciated.
Database details (Microsoft Access 2002 version)
Table Name = details
Field name = ID (auto-generated)
Field name = FirstName (text)
Field name = Surname (text)
If possible it would be nice to keep a record of the randomized lists (in the database somewhere ?) each month in case anyone wants to see it or disputes the lists, where I can just create a report to show the details.
There will be approximately 90 to 125 names.
Thank you in advance for all your help in this matter

I have created my tables and form and am now trying to run reports to organize the data. I have figured out how to group the individuals by group and treatment, but can't figure out how exclude individuals from the final list if they are already in another. As background, some of the individuals are eventually excluded from the experiment, though I keep the initial data. When the exclude individual checkbox is checked ("True" on the report) I do not want the individual to be listed in the "False" list, even though there are entries for that individual when that checkbox wasn't checked (when it was "True"). This is so I can get an idea of the current totals in each group.
Implant Period
>Treatment
>>Exclude individual?
>>>Individual ID
I feel like this should be a fairly simple task, but I cannot figure it out... Maybe there is coding to exclude individuals from the "False" list if they are already listed in the "True" list?

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
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items

I have created listbox with one column (contains one column only), now i would like to display all the characters of list item (want scroll bar to listbox).
How do i display all text of list item, I have already fixed Column Widths to max length (22";0.1"). However when scrolling to right, it is going to next blank column of list box, which is created only to change Column Widths property.

I'm looking to move an excel sheet to access because the row counts are too much.The main thing it does is compare the supplied data against a list I hold in the sheet.There are not duplicate records, however..Some data is a direct lookup for a full match, but much of it is a count to see how many records contain a certain string.
I have 500 keywords which have a countif function in using wildcards.I need to create a query/report which will return a list of records from the original list which contains each keyword featured and how many times it features.I was going to do it in PHPmysql but the time it took to parse a million records for every keyword made it pointless.
eg:
keywords:
look
billy
magic
list:
"have a look and see"
"spanish dave"
"who is billy brag"
"looky looky I go hooky"
"who's the man from argentina"
"could it be magic now"
my spreadsheet would return a 1 next to ""billy" and "magic" and would put a 2 next to "look".
the sheet has the keyword in each row and next to the column:
=COUNTIF(list,CONCATENATE("*@",B13))
where "list" is the external data.

I created a form and created on it a list box which is a query that grabs certain number of fields from different tables. I would like the user to select from this list box of a choice and then store their selection into a table.This list box has three fields, but it needs to store the id rather than the item, the user would see the name of the item but the id of the item would be store into another table, called bid. It store all these three fields when a user selection one of the item from the list.

Okay,
The subject is probably confusing but I'll try to explain.
Setup:
Table1
FieldID = Number
FieldName = Text
Table2
FieldID = Number
FieldName = Text
T1_ID = Number
Relationship
Table1.FieldID 1-> * Table2.T1_ID (one to many)
Now, I'm trying to create a 3rd table that has field populated by Table1 and a field populated by Table2 but I want to limit the field populated by table2 by what is selected in the field populated by table1.
Table1:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
Table2:
1st,January
1st,February
1st,March
2nd,April
2nd,May
2nd,June
3rd,July
3rd,August
3rd,September
4th,October
4th,November
4th,December
Table3:
Table1Field = Number, ComboBox-Source: Table1, BoundColumn=1
Table2Field = Number, ComboBox-Source: Table2, BoundColumn=1
If Table1Field = 1st then
Table2Field Will only allow January, February, or March as selections, since ONLY they are a member of the "1sr" group via the table1 list.
Is this possible, or do i have to do some run-time checking or something?
Thanks

I have a Form that links to a List Box which pulls from a combined (concatenated?) list. The list it is pulling from appears as follows: SELECT [Rank]+" "+[Last Name]+", "+[First Name] AS Expr1 FROM [T_Personnel Information]; My issue is that the Field in the Form that pulls from the Field in the Table defaults to the first name on the list when left blank, where as I want it to default to a blank value unless I select a name from the list.

I have a form with 2 list boxes, part number and modification. There is a subform containing another list box that is supposed to show the part information (bpn,vendor,status,etc.) that corresponds to the selected part number/modification in the parent form list boxes.
The part info list box has multiselect enabled and what i want to is be able to select multiple line items and press a button which then sets all of the selected line items status to "Request Removal". This is my code for the button:
Private Sub removeButton_Click()
Dim varItem As Variant
With Me.acbModList
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
MsgBox (Me.Status.Value & Me.[Part Number].Value)
Me.Status = 6
Next
End With
End Sub
The msgbox was for debugging purposes. Here's my issue; the for each actually does iterate through each selected item but the value for the line item doesn't change along with it. For example, when I selected 3 items, the msgbox will pop up 3 times but each time will have the same information (first item in the table) even when that item isn't selected.
My next issue is that I am receiving an error message with "Me.Status = 6" stating "You cant assign a value to this object". 6 refers to the id of the status i want to set it to.
