Filled Text Boxes Based On Combobox Choice
Oct 20, 2005
Hi
I have been searching this forum for 3 hours for a solution, some come close others are pure gobble de gook to me.
I have on a form 1 combobox where a name is chosen, from that choice I would like the address, suburb, state etc automatically placed intheir relevant fields.
I have tried =DLookUp("[PropertyAddress]","tblProperty","[Property]") in the address textbox which will only bring up the first recod's address from the table, if I change the name in the combobox the address doesn't change.
What am I doing wrong, I have designing databases in Access for a total of 7 days now and have been going fairly well with some tips and code snippets from this forum but this has got me stumped.
Cheers

I have a Table with 57 fields. I would like to display this table in a form as a subform, but only certain fields depending on what selection is made in a combo box.
For instance, if the user selects "Missing Information" in the Combo Box, then the form will show a few standard fields such as ID, Market, Sales Manager, and then some specific ones such as date missing information requested and date missing information received.
If the user selects another option, again the standard fields will remain plus a few different ones.
I have done much searching on this and feel like I am so close but so far. I have looked into controlling the record source of the subform, columhidden =false and a multitude of others. All of which may or in fact probably do work in this situation but I can't seem to put it all together.

I have a combobox on an unbound form. After making a selection, I click a command button which opens a bound form to a new record. What I need to code next or add into the macro, is for the selection of the combobox to fill in the contact id, and contact name in the correct text boxes.
The combobox row source is: SELECT qryPBS.ConID, qryPBS.PBSName FROM qryPBS; bound column 1.

I am trying to get two different fields to autopopulate when I select a choice from a combo-box on my form.
I have a form called IncomeRcvdFrom, which takes its fields from the table "IncomeRcvd"
In the form, I have three fields that need to relate to each other and auto populate.
The first field is called "IncmType", which comes from a different table called "CategoriesList". There is another field called "IncmDescr" which also comes from the same table. The third field, called "Category" is a list box in that table that comes from another table called "CatType".
All three of these fields also are list boxes in the table "IncomeRcvd", where the source of these fields come from the "CategoriesList" and the "CatType" tables.
What I am trying to accomplish is so when someone selects an Account, or "IncmType", it auto populates the "IncmDescr" field, as well as the "CatType" field on the form.
So far, I have gotten the Account or IncmType and the IncmDescr fields to autopopulate each other, but the Category field either says "Name?", or I get the "type mismatch expression" error message. I also accidentally got the field to work one time, but it would only display the ID Key field and not the actual wording in the rows (i.e. Misc. Payment, Royalty, Rebilling, etc.)
I have checked my relationships, my control sources, and still can't get it to work.

:confused: I have a combo box on a form that is used for data entry that allows the user to pick the date. This is based on a table that includes date, week ending date and month, all very specific for our business. I used a function that says Me.txtBox=ComboBox.Column1 for example. So my combo box would include all the information, and all but the actual date is not visible. I want this to feed into another table that will be used for reporting, and that table has the same fields of date, week ending date and month. I keep getting an error saying that the value selected from the combo box doesn't fit the criteria, and I believe what is going on is that it is taking all the fields instead of just the date. Any suggestions how I can still have the text boxes update if I only have the date in the combo box?:confused:

my problem seems to be very familiar to the one in this thread :
[URL]...
Basically I have a list of tables in one combo box. I want the user to select which table. ( The tables are stock information, each table for each different day of the stockmarket)
Then they select the Stock they want to look at. ( These are the same in all the tables obviously, so it is the same in the drop down box)
NOW, the bit i'm struggling with. Is for a textbox below to show the value found IN the table name selected, with the stock selected. How would i do this in SQL, or VBA with SQL.

I have a form that our operators use to do their hourly quality audits on. This is getting to be a huge burden on them because right now, they enter the date, the week ending date, the month every time they have to do an entry, and for me it is a nightmare because they can still enter the wrong information. So, what I was wondering is if there is a way that I can have them select the date from a combo box (easy enough), but from that, have the week ending date and the month fields automatically update as well. Any advice? I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much!!!!

I have a form called frmPO based on a table called tblPO One of the fields in tblPO is linked to the field idAddress in the table tblAddresses
The following fields exist in both tblAddresses and tblPO
Company
Address1
Address2
City
ZP
State
The form contains controls for these fields on tblPO. I would like to give the user the choice to either enter a shipping address manually, or selecting a preregistered address from tblAdresses. For this I would like a combo box showing the values of idAddress. I f a user selects a preregistered shipping address, I would like the form to fill the rest of the fields based on the value of this control.
My understanding is that I should set a BeforeUpdate event to set the values of the different controls, unfortunately my command of VBA amounts to 0.

I have a form (employee info) that requires the user to do a search to find the employee before then editing anything that needs to be edited.
I have a search box that will find the relevant record without any problem, however what I am looking to do is hide text boxes on the form and have them appear only once the search has found the matching record.
If no matching record is found, I would then like a message box that states 'No matching employee, would you like to add an employee' and when the user clicks OK, it then reveals the same hidden text boxes and sets focus to the first one of the bunch.
Now, I have used the 'me.textboxname.visible = True (or False) elsewhere, however, I am not sure how to trigger that after a search.
I assume I am looking at an If statement, but I am not sure how to construct it, hence turning to the experts.
Code:
Private Sub txtEmployeeSearch_AfterUpdate()
If txtEmployee = DLookup("EmployeeNumber", "tblEmployeeInfo") Then
Me.txtboxname.Visible = True
Me.txtboxname2.Visible = True
DoCmd.GoToControl "txtboxname"
Else
MsgBox "Employee Not Found", vbYesNo
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
End If
End Sub
I know that there is a massive gap where I have put <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< - but I am stumped as to what to put in there?

I am trying to get the text in a couple text boxes to turn green if a certain Yes/No field is left blank.
I know the conditional formatting is working, because condition 1 and 3 are working fine (those expressions are referencing text fields).
I would like to have Condition 2 look at [DM_Approval] from the bound query and if it is unchecked, execute the conditional formatting.
I've tried all kinds of statements, but i'm starting to think that the expressions in the conditional formatting window just won't work when referencing a yes/no field.
Specifically (at the very least) i know i tried [DM_Approval]=False, [DM_Approval]=No, [DM_Approval]=0, and [DM_Approval] is null.

Table name: Items
Field: ItemName
Form name: Frmpayments
when I open the above form, it should create texts boxes on "frmpayments" based on how many data available in "Items" table under "Itemname" field. It'll be even better, if it can put those item's name in each text box it creates.

Hi all,
I have a main form containing client details (tbl_Client) and a sub form containing notes (tbl_notes). tbl_Notes contains a foreign key field (Client_ID) which is obviously the primary key in tbl_Client.
The client is chosen on the main form using a combo box where the user selects the clients name. the id is not visable to the user. How can i get it so that the id (Client_ID) of the selected user is inserted into the Client_ID field of tbl_notes.
Thanks

I have a form that I want to filter out certain records based on if a field has data in it or not. I tried using a macro and putting the field equals "IsNotNull", but that didn't work. I just asked me what "IsNotNull" is suppose to be. correct way to do this via macro?
I tried searching but was finding VBA with other filters being applied (which is not the case).

Hi,
I would like to run a simple select query, where the CRITERIA is based on the user choice.
I have a form with a combo box, with a few choices, and a button that will trigger a macro with one query for now. I can store the choice in to a variable e.g. "town", using Microsoft VB code.
How can I transfer the variable to the CRITERIA field in the query, so whenever I chose a specific "town", my query will select the records for that specific town.
I want to use one query, and I don't want to have to "hard type the criteria in to the cells' query", but I would like to use a variable that can change and will be read it from the user choice through combo box.
If I am not clear enough, please let me know.
Thank you!

I am trying to show an image on a form based on a user choice from a drop down box. For example, the user needs to choose a priority for a task. If the user chooses "Immediate" I want an image of an exclamation point to show up to draw attention that this is important.

I am fairly new to Access and trying to populate a text box based on whether other textboxes throughout the form contain a date or are null, so as I update the progress of work the textbox that I have located in the header will indicate the status of work flow, this is what I thought might work but I seem to be doing something wrong.
Code:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Null, "New", "")
Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Not Null, "Open", "")
Status = IIf([Approved_Date] Is Not Null, "Approved", "")
Status = IIf([Actioned_Date] Is Not Null, "Actioned", "")
Status = IIf([Tested_Date] Is Not Null, "Tested", "")
Status = IIf([Closed_Date] Is Not Null, "Closed", "")
End Sub

Per the instructions detailed here...
http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm
...I created a parameter query in the form of a drop down box that, once an
option is selected, should display a form with a number of fields pre-filled
from a record chosen by the drop-down selection.
The drop down has a command button with the following code in the Onclick
event:
Private Sub cmdCreateReport_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUIRFollowUp", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOpenUIRLookUp"
As it now stands when I click the button I get the form but none of the
selected data is filled in. The fields are blank.
What code to I need to add to the above to make the form hold the data
selected from the drop down?
Thanks,
David

I want to create a form where by the user can select the fields he requires and the table is created.
Example: I have a table of subjects like maths, english, french, chemistry etc,
The user can choose what subjects are available in that particular school and therefore a table is created based on the chosen subjects.
Is there any way it can be done even with vba?

In my database I have a table that keeps track of a package of items. The package is assigned a package type (counter display, end cap, half pallet, full pallet for example). The record of the association of the package and it's type is held in the main table.
Each of these package types is either a case or a pallet (counter display and end cap are cases and half and full pallets are pallets) This relationship is kept in another table (we will call it description table).
Now, based on the type of package and therefore it being a case or pallet a UPC and a GTIN number are assigned. The GTIN number is different if it is a case or is a pallet. I have a table that stores all of the UPC and GTIN numbers available in 3 columns, one for UPC, one for GTIN Case and one for GTIN Pallet (the UPC is a standard 12 digit and the GTINs are 14 digit -with the first 2 different to designate pallet or case. and all are based on the check digit formula necessary)
The user assigns the UPC and correct GTIN number by clicking a button which applies the next available UPC code to the package and determines if the description of the type (case or pallet) and inserts correct GTIN number into that field. I actually have all of this functioning correctly.
Now the problem. If a user changes the package type, and therefore changes the description, I need to add code to the update event of the combo box that gives the choices for package type that does the following:
Check to see if the original package type was a case or pallet (it's description) and if by changing the package type it is now changed to the other, update the record in the main table to the correct GTIN number based on the existing UPC Code.
OR as I write this, maybe the code could simply update the main table with the correct GTIN code based on the new description and the existing UPC code. This was I would not need to check for a change just do the update every time.

I have two fields that are in short time format, and are saving the information to the table in short time format.
I then have a field that I have set to auto-fill under the chosen circumstances, with a text roughly as follows
Code:
Dim Story As String
Dim IDepTime
DimADepTime
IDepTime = [InstructedDeparture]
ADepTime = [ActualDeparture]
Story = "This person was instructed to leave at " & IDepTime & " but did not do so, instead departing at " & ADepTime & "which caused us a problem"
me.txtnarrative.value = Story
End Sub
This all works, however the times being displayed are in hh:mm:ss format, when I only want hh:mm format - how do I tell it the format I want?

I have 2 comboboxes, the first one is called "activity", whereby I have 3 options to choose from, and the second is called "level".
When I click an "activity", for example Drawings, I want the "level" combobox to list a unique set of options for that category. and if I click on a different "activity" for example Planning, I want the "level" combobox to show a completely different set of options.
If anyone can give me any help on how to do this then I would be very grateful!!
Thanks

I've tried searching the forums and haven't found quite what i'm looking for. I would like to be able to change the source for a combobox based on another combobox. The simplest way i can summarize that is i want to be able to choose A or B, depending on my choice i want another combobox to display all the values that A or B can have.
Thanks
Jim
I'm not sure I worded that very well. :(
