View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Auto Populated Text Boxes To Display Rows From Combo Boxes
Jan 25, 2015I 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.
Forms :: Database With 3 Tables - Linking Combo Boxes And Text Boxes
Jul 29, 2015I 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.

Queries :: Query By Form With Check Boxes / Combo Boxes Not Working

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 RelatedForms :: Changing Multiple Text Boxes To Combo Boxes?
Mar 14, 2014there 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.
Forms :: Search Form Using Both Combo Boxes And Check Boxes
Jun 5, 2014I 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

Select Using Combo Box But Prevent Editing?
May 24, 2005Hi,
I am using the combo box in a form for selecting a report to be printed out. The source is a table with all the report names stored. I would like to prevent users from changing the data and yet they can can click on 1 single report they need. I cannot disable the allowedits in the combo box which will prevent the user from selecting. Is there a solution to this or should I use another method (if any). Thanks for any reply.
Editing By Combo Selection Not Record?
Dec 13, 2006Hi,
I am trying to update prices changes for products in my inventory database, and am stumped.
I select a vendor, which then populates the product name from which I can then select the product I want to update. From here, it populates what the current prices are. I then can type the new price into the next box, but what happens is that it doesn't change that Product it changes the 1st record.
Can anyone help!
Forms :: Combo Box To Select Record For Editing?
Jun 13, 2013I have a form that uses a combo box to select the record to edit which then opens the edit form... I keep getting a type mismatch error. The bound column is a text column and I'm wondering if that is the problem because this works perfectly everywhere else in the database. The primary key is the SKU of the product which is alphanumeric which is why I have it set to text...
View 14 Replies View RelatedForms :: Saving / Editing A Record Using A Form With Combo Box
Jun 24, 2014I have a form that I need to use to add new clients to a table in my database, lets call it tblClients. On this form I have a combo box which, when selected, will drop down with the first and last names of all clients in tblClients, as well as their Client ID. Once you select a client from the drop down menu, it populates all of the fields in the form with that clients info (Client ID, fname, lname, address, phone number, etc. etc.).
I need two other things on this form: one button that will save or modify whatever current record is currently pulled up, and one button that will start the process for entering a new client, so basically it would blank out all of the fields and fill the Client ID field with the current number +1.
As of right now I have the form made and the combo box works, in that I have 3 dummy clients in the tblClients and when I select each client from the combo box it will populate the fields on the form with the info. I'm using some simple VBA on the combo box such as
Me.FirstName = Me.cboBox.Column(1)
and that seems to all work, but the problem is trying to save/modify data to tblClients. The only record in the actual table that gets modified seems to be the first record. For example, if I pull up client with ID #3 and change his address or phone number, what happens when I click to save the changes it takes client ID #3 record, overrides it with client ID #1, and then client ID #3 is the same as client ID #1 except with the old information. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.

Combo Boxes / Text Boxes
Apr 29, 2005Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!
Combo Boxes And Text Boxes
Jul 12, 2006I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D
List Boxes And Combo Boxes
Feb 28, 2007Hi 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.

Feb 8, 2005hi
I have a cascading combo box on a form where by you can first select a supplier of a part and then a part from that supplier. (Attached is a pic of my structure). Next I want to be able to create a record of a "complaint report" for that part in the combo box... (see structure). Any ideas?
Many thanks,

Combo Boxes
Mar 2, 2005I have read the cascading combo box solution and would like to know if this would help me with my specific solution.
I have a subform that is used to populate a table which is later used to cost each row by linking to a costing table (see later).
3 off the columns in this form have been set up as combo boxes e.g.
(1)Supplier/(2)Product type/(3)Product 2 is dependant on 1 and 3 is dependant on 1 & 2
These combo boxes currently refer to my costing table to ensure that the user can only enter a combination that is in this table so that when I compare the data entered in my subform table these combinations will be present in the costing table.
I get the 2nd combo box to show only the product types available for the selected supplier by afterupdate me![Product type]requery on the 1st combo box
The 3rd combo box is dependant on both 1 & 2 so I have applied afterupdate me![product]requery which has filters in the query as follows
Forms![subform]![Supplier]
Forms![subform]![Product type]
This seems to work ok when entering data initially into the form which places it directly into my table
The problem I have is when someone later goes into a record and changes combo box 1 and the data in combo 2 & 3 may now not be an option so how can I force them to go and re-visit these filed before exiting the form?
The second problem is if they go to the next record in the form and select the 3rd combo box to edit the field the qry does not show the correct option and shows the ones for the previous row?
Any suggestions please..
Help With Combo Boxes
May 9, 2005I have a Order form that i would like to use combo boxes when adding details records to the order. For example, my list of products is very long, each product belongs to a Series(category) I would like to create two combo boxes when placing an order. First one to select series, then another one to select product. I would like the product combo box to show only those products related to the series. Seems like a simple task but i am having so much trouble. I tried looking at the Northwind db because it has categories and products but in their order form their combo box just list products and there is no example like the one i want to do. Can anyone help?

Jun 21, 2005Hi,
I have attached a small version of my database/form. I am trying to display only those records in a subform based on the values selected from two combo boxes. So when the user selects a client from the 1st combo box, the 2nd combo box is populated with the tests that pertain to the client selected. When the user selects a test from the 2nd combo box, I want the records to update with only those records that have the test for that client. So if there is no record for that test, then no records should be displayed (even though they may have records for another test - not sure if that made sense...).
My whole purpose is to allow the user to select a test only once and only have to select the level list based on however many levels are available for that test (I want it to be simple for the user).
Example: Open up my form, select Alabama from the clients list.
The subform has all of the tests for the client and the levels. Select Physics from the tests list. I now want the subform to display only the records were Test=Physics.
Once I get that working, I will make ClientID and Test in the subform not visible (only the Level drop down list will be displayed). So when a user selects a level from the list, the table needs to get updated with all of the information (clientID, testID, levelID).
Have any suggestions? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
dbnewbie
Combo Boxes
Sep 3, 2005I'm sure this question must have been asked before but I can't find it here, so my apologies.
I have a form for collecting addresses, it has two combo boxes, the first contains a list of states, and then the second contains a list of postcodes found within that state based up a query with the criteria
[forms]![FRM_Delpoint]![StateID]
the problem is the second combo box always shows the list relevant to the first record.
Combo Boxes
Oct 6, 2005Hi all,
I have a combo box who's Row Source Type is set to Table/Query and who's Row Source pulls 2 columns of data from an existing table (UserID;UserName).
I would like to set the first row on the combo to "*;Select All" and follow this by "UserID;UserName" for all users in the table.
I've tried using combobox.additem Item: = "*;Select All",Index: = 0 but it requires the combo box to have the Row Source Type set to Value List though I'm not sure how to pull in the table data if the type is set to Value List.
Any Idea's how I can get around this problem?
Thanks,
Dave
