Hey guys, I have a question that I am hoping you can point me in the right direction on. Before I ask it, I am new to access. I have been looking at templates and reading and things on how to build a database. I have my tables setup, relationships I think are right and my form created. One of the things I am having trouble with is creating a drop down list to be able to pick a customer name for. I setup the combo box and have a customerID as the control source in the properties. I have the Row Source Type as table/query and the Row Source query setup so it takes the info from the customer table.
query:
field: customer.* name
table: customer customer
I think I am doing this the same way the templates have the properties but for some reason it won't allow me to pick from the list. It keeps saying "control can't be edited. It's bound to unknown field 'CustomerID'".
I attached my database. I hope it is clear enough that you might see what I have done wrong. Thanks in advance.

When attempting to select a letter in a form copied from the Northwind's Customer Phone List Form, I am now getting an error message that says "The object doesn't contain the Automation object "RecordsetClone'". I never had that problem before. Appears to be something in the Option Group that has gone awry, but I cannot access the Visual Basics behind the Macro. Is there a way to suppress this message? It does not appear to be a problem in bringing up the sought after page. :confused: :confused: Please help!!
Let's say I have a list of customers. For each customer I have much more info on other lists (order list, personal info list, bank info list, and so on) - all are of course connected properly.
Now let's say a certain customer is no longer my customer, so I want to remove him from the customer-list. But, I want to move him to a different list - past-customers - so all the information that was related to that customer will remain so. In short, I want to remove from the customer-list without affecting the related data.

I have a Table Sales - that lists customer and order information
Most of the customers are new - is there a way to populate Customer Name Table with a new entry each time a new customer is input into the Sales Tale
(Without having to add the custome to Customer Name Table - then going to Sales Order) OR Failing that - is there a way to use a list box that points to Customer Name Table (and if it doesn't find the one you want, will allow you toadd a new record) In the SAME form as you use to add to Sales Table.
So: Date (textbox linking to form.Sales) Customer Name (List Box linking to form.CustomerName + adding the info to form.Sale)
I am creating a table in Access 2003, and I need to add a drop down list to one of my columns. See the attached picture - I need to add a drop down list to the "Division" column that will allow the user to select from one of 5 choices. How do I do this?
I have a drop down menu that pulls values from a table. When clicked that value pops up in a total field. Currently I only allow 1 value to be selected. When the user (me at this point) chooses another value, the value is added to the total instead of updating with the new value. So the every time it is clicked it just goes up and up. So I decided to add a loop. However it seems my look is not having an affect but obviously it is being read since the first part is being processed. I thought I would post it to gather thoughts... Thank you!
Quote: Private Sub lstbagels_Click() Dim newcharge1 As Currency Dim newcharge2 As Currency Dim oldcharge As Currency If oldcharge = 0 Then newcharge1 = Me.lstbagels.Column(2, Me.lstbagels.ListIndex) Me.txttotal.Value = Me.txttotal.Value + newcharge1 oldcharge = newcharge1 Else newcharge2 = Me.lstbagels.Column(2, Me.lstbagels.ListIndex) Me.txttotal.Value = Me.txttotal.Value - oldcharge + newcharge2 oldcharge = newcharge2 End If End Sub
I have a ComboBox in a form that is looking at a field in a Table. When I select one of the items from the drop down it finds the record and shows all the fields in the form...
Everything works great, but
THere are quite a few records in the database, maybe 1000. If I use the scroll on the drop down and drag it to its bottom and let go, its not actually at the bottom. I have to do this repeatably in order to get to the full set of records.
Is there and easier way to do this? I have run into this on other occasions with smaller number of records as well.
Would this run faster if I grabed this list from a query instead? And then set the form record to the value of the drop down (runngin the query)
Ok, let me preface this with I'm a newbie at Access, and I'm currently using Access 2003. I'm just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Right now I have multiple tables with set data in them that doesn't change linked to another table where I have a drop down menu (combo box I think it's called in Access) to easily select the given data from. I want to have a drop down box (combo box) to have a set of given variables I have in a table to put in the search criteria. That way a user doesn't have to type the exact criteria into a query. That way I can easily put in the variables I want to search from in the query with less chance of an error. I'm hoping this is possible.
Ideally if I could get help in how to make a form that would allow me to have the set of columns from the corresponding tables with combo boxes to select from and then be able to have a "subimt" button and have it organize the selected results into that form as well.
Currenlty, when I click on my query and have it begin ... I have it set up where I then enter three seperate pieces of distinct data so that the exact information I'm in need of, which is stored in 2 seperate tables, can then be pulled together and displayed into one final combined table ...
I'd like to modify this beginning point where ... once I click on the query to begin, I can then just choose from a Drop Down list which has all the various rows of information displayed via these 3 unique indentifiers ... I then just scroll through and pick what I need and it then populates the final combined table as before ...
How do I add the drop down effect at the start of the query?
I want to populate a drop down combo box with a list of 10 years (current year +/- five years). I can enter them as a Value list but I don't want to have to update the list every year. Neither do I want to allocate a table to maintain a list.
Any ideas as to how I can auto populate the combo with a 10 yr span (5 previous and 5 next) and default to current year?
I'm pretty much a noob to visual basic, I've only taken C++ so I dont really know VB language. ok here is my question... I have a form and I added a drop down list through a table. What I want it to do is output into another text box within the same form when an item in the drop down list is selected. I think I have to make an event procedure for the "On Click" or "On Got Focus" selection. please help me out !!
If i have a drop down list containing employee type names e.g. Plumber plasterer bricklayer from the employee type table. How would i select the bricklayer and bring back records associated with the selected employee type . I have done a query to go and get the records for the employee type and it works for one employee type.
But I cannot get the button to go and get the records when i select different employee types from the drop down list. I could add loads of buttons with the same query and change the employee type but looks a bit crowded and untidy. Am i missing something simple or is it just complicated.
I have a drop down list in a table with name and commission rate. When I choose the name it displays but I want both the name and the commission rate to display in my table. I want to use a data entry form to enter values in the table and I want the same in the form too (when I choose a name I want the corresponding commission rate to show up).

I'll admit from the start that I'm a newbie at Access 2003 and I've tried looking in the help file and internet searches. But I've become stumped on how to create what I'm looking for.
I would like to create a form that performs a query that has drop down menus with info from each specific column in a table. That way I don't have to necessarily need to know off the top of my head what data is entered in that column, but can click the drop down menu and get all of the data listed in that particular column. Once have a particular set of info selected, then have a button like "submit" and then the query results appear in a form and click through each page or results.
Can anyone help me? I am trying to add new records/data entry on a Form from a list of drop-down options.
