How To Make A Multi-valued Combo Box In A Form
Apr 14, 2015
I have a field in a table that I want it to be multivalued. The values are stored in a different table. I tried to do that and it worked fine. But when I wanted to display a pie chart in a report based on a query, the values didn't show up.
Example:
EmployeeName: X
TermenationReasons: 1,2,3 (multivalued field - values stored in a different table)
I though of just changing the field type to a text, and create a combo box in the form that allows me to add multiple values, and appear on the table and the query, and the pie chart too.how to make a multi-valued combo box in a form.

I have a main form with multiple sub-forms (each a separate tab). Having imported the fields from the equivalent tables, none of the multi-value combo box fields on the sub-forms work as they do not show anything. I tried implementing one on the main form (to test) and it worked fine. What am I doing wrong with the sub-forms fields?

I have two fields in a table that have multiple values. Example:
Field A:
CT, CA, PA
Field B:
CT, CA
I want to compare the two fields and indicate that there is a match because in this example CT and CA are in both fields. I would like to create a function. I'm not sure if I would have to use something with like or create a loop.

I have 2 tables with text fields
Table 1 has 3 fields and 2 rows
DEVICE| DISPLAY1 | DISPLAY2
_______________________________
A | A1 | A2
B | B1 | B2
Table 2 has 2 fields, but the second is a multi-value field
DEVICE | MDISPLAY
_____________________________
A | **MUTI-VALUE** based off the table 1
In the row source of the Multi-value Field MDISPLAY, I have
Select DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2 from TABLE1
The problem. I can get the MDISPLAY field to display the items from Table 1, but it grabs ALL of them.I need it to display ONLY the DISPLAY1 and 2 field associated with the value of the DEVICE for the current row in table 2, which is 'A'
SO if I look at the row of the table 2 that has the device 'A', the MDISPLAY field for that row should have.Just A1 and A2, NOT A1,A2,B1,B2(all the rows). how to access / syntax of the current value of the DEVICE field in my row source.Select DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2 from TABLE1 where table1.Device = Table2.device /or Device ... etc.. 'doesn't work

I am trying to make a database containing the technicians of our companies.
I found a online template i am using, and this has a quick search field.
I have created a multivalued field that contains the technicians skills. (pulldown with checkboxes)
When i try to use the quick search field access returns a error message saying something like:
"The multivalued field '[Category]' can not be used in a WHERE- or HAVING-string."
The field i use for skills is an old category field.... Just renamed and changed a bit..

I have a subform query which includes EventName, Date, and Tags. Tags is a multivalued field.
What I need to do is allow people to filter this subform using the inbuilt filter, and then use the filtered data to populate a graph.
I am doing this by taking the Filter property from the form and then using VBA to build an SQL statement with the right data, and using that on the graph. It works fine when people filter on the EventName and Date fields.
However, when someone filters the Tags field, it fails. The filter property gets set to something along the lines of
([Lookup_Tags].[TagName]="whatevertagtheypick")
This syntax seems not to be supported when I put it into the SQL statement.

I am using MS Access 2007.
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?

I am trying to make a form where the user can check/uncheck query criteria via several check boxes. The idea is that the user can start with many criteria and then deselect criteria if the search does not return enough results.
I have been setting up several queries and thought I would combine them in a "Master Query", since I thought it may be easier to deal with each criterion and the respective switch this way.
Lets say we run a hairdresser.
I have a field in the form that allows me to select clients. This is also used in the query. Works fine. Now to the hard part.
Example 1:
Each customer has a budget to spend on haircuts.
Each hairdresser offers haircuts from $x to $y.
The query should return all hairdressers that are appropriate for the budget of the selected customer.
There should be a yes/no button on the form to ignore or use this criterion.
Example 2 (this completely threw me off):
Each customer has a set of preferred services from a table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring).
Each hairdresser offers certain services also based on this table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring, drying).
The customer and hairdresser table use the services table and a multi combo box to select the services.
The query should return only hairdressers that offer some or none of the services wanted by the client.
Again, there should be a services yes/no button on the form to either ignore or include this criterion.
To clarify, the hard part for me is the query. I am fine with setting up the tables and the form. Just not sure how to implement something like "IF (ServicesCheckBox = -1, 'then use service criterion', 'ignore service criterion')".

Access 2003
Database for tracking job search/applications
I have three tables: Job (includes employer, contact) and Contact (First name, Last name, employer), and Employer (Employer name)
Form.Job is the main data entry mechanism. On this form, I enter the job details. I select the employer from a combo-box that draws from the Employer table. I would like to select the contact from a combo-box that filters contacts and shows only those that match the Job.Employer selection.
:confused: 1. How can I make a bi-directional link so that a new entry in the employer combo-box creates a new entry in the employer table? At the moment, I get around this with a "New employer" button on Form.Job that just opens up the employer table, but there seems to be an updating issue - new names don't show up in the combo-box for a while
:confused: 2. How can I get the contact combo-box to show only contacts with an employer that matches the employer selected in the employer combo-box?
Note that I got this to work once by using a sub-form, but I don't really understand how (presumably Access defaults that did what I wanted), and I don't want to have to use a sub-form.

Working on a sales guest registration database and need a some assistance with a query for my report. I have the following fields in the table:
Communities
RepName
Date1stVisit
MoveTime
I have created a query which works without a problem. I have also created a dialog form to use with a report that I've created. Everything works ok if I fill in all the boxes on my form with data but in some instances they want reports that are not filtered all the way down. On my form I have an unbound combo box for each of the fields above. I've tried several of the suggestions found here but cannot get it to work completely. The last thing I tried was the following criteria for each field I want to filter on:
like [forms]![repdialog]![communities]& "*" or is null
like [forms]![repdialog]![repname]& "*" or is null
>= [forms]![repdialog]![datebeg] and <= [forms]![repdialog]![dateend]
like [forms]![repdialog]![movetime]& "*" or is null
This sort of works but I must be missing something because it gives me too much data. For instance if a just wanted to fill in the REPNAME box on the form it should give me every record that has that name in it but I get more that that - I think because of the is null comments. Any one help me correct this?
Thanks,
Chester Campbell

I would like to select multiple records from my combo box not at the same time but each selection to be added to another text field in my form.
PROBLEM: When I select a record that 1st selection is populated in the other text field however when I want to select another choice to be added with the 1st choice the selection overwrites the 1st choice instead of adding to it.

I want to have a pick list where I can click a combo box down arrow and it shows some options but these options would be in this format:
Record1:
Line1
Line2
Line3
Record2:
Line1
Line2
Line3
The reason is that they are 3 line adverts.
What is the best way to do this? Is it possible with combo box or should I do it in another way?
Thanks,
Dave

I have a combo box with 5 columns. When I click it I want to display columns 1 to 4, together with the headings. But after making my selection, I want column 5 stored in the field.
How can I do that? Currently it is storing column 1.

I have 6 combo boxes on a form, which call a report based on a query. The idea is that the user can query data 6 different way. How do I/ or the user know which one is actually running first. Would the order left to right make a difference? (None have sort ascending or descending)

I used the Contacts demo on Access 2010, made all the elements Client from web based and then exported to a new database. It worked for the most part but now I am trying to put in a 4 box search and am getting stuck on which form to link it to and also where to put these boxes.

I currently have a database of customer information and form set up with a MultiList box based on the regions those companies are based. You select the region(s) you require from the list box, click a button and it runs a query.
However I now want to be able to filter the results further using a combo box with business sectors in also.
The code used for the multilist box is as follows (I don't totally understand all the code if I'm honest, but it works )
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Const cstrQuery As String = "CAMPQRY"
Dim strNames As String
Dim strSelect As String
Dim StrWhere As String
Dim varItm As Variant
[Code] ....

I have three comboboxes and I want to have the first one filter the second one and the filtered second one filter the third one.
Filtering the first one on the second one works, but when I whant to add a third one to it, it just shows blank spaces on the third one.
What I did to the first and the second combobox :
1: I pressed the second combobox.
2: Went to rowsource.
3: filled criteria in on the value i whant to connect the first combox to the second combobox ( [Forms]![Thetableimin].[1stcombobox].
4. requery the second combobox in programcode on the first combobox.
What I did to the second and the third combobox:
1: I pressed the third combobox.
2: Went to rowsource.
3: filled criteria in on the value i whant to connect the second combobox to the third combobox ( [Forms]![Thetableimin].[2ndcombobox]
4. requery the third combobox in programcode on the second combobox.
How do I make a third combobox that uses the filtered values of the second combobox to filter the third combobox.
