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 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.
My form's 10 column combo-box (based on a query) won't break into text cells. Some of the columns contain numbers, some test, some phone #s. All columns show when I click the Combo-box in Form View. Access Help File said to put: =Forms!Customers!CompanyName.Column(1) in the ControlSource for the text cell. Tried that and was returned #Name? for any of the fields in which I tried it. My expression was: =frmSpartanStudentBehaviorLog!Last_FirstUC.Column (3) The other properties in combo-box are set correctly: ColumnCount=10, Column Widths are correct.
I also tried the expression: =Last_FirstUC.Column(2) but got the same result #Name?
I'm baffled. As a very new user, I'll appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
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.
I 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.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
I have a simple question that I know will have a very complex answer
You have two sets of tables with identical structures. The first set contains data that is a model for the second set. The users run queries that append data to the second set of tables
Here is an example of the structure TblSourceOne SourceOneID SourceOneData
The user adds a record to the main table (TblTargetOne) then uses an append query to add all of the applicable records from TblSourceTwo to TbleTargetTwo
So now the user has a data model in TblSourceTwo which has been “copied” to TblTargetTwo
Next for each record in TblSourceTwo that has been copied to TblTargetTwo that has daughter records in TblSourceDetails another query is executed to copy all of the pertinate records to the TblTargetDetails
Now the user has completely copied all of the necessary record for both table.
Finely the question
How can I use a multiselect list box to achieve this in one operation? I don’t care if it includes running multiple queries but it needs to appear as one single operation to the user.
I'm a noobie with Access, and on my form which displays Account information, I also want to display the multiple Addresses this account can have. I can't find any type of scrollable text box (something to look like a spreadsheet), and I know it's not a list box I need to use.
How do I create this and what is it called? I tried using a data grid but I dont think that is it either :confused:
Also, my scrolling text icon on the toolbox is greyed out, not sure why.
I am designing a search query that will allow the user to look up a record in a database to view it. I have everything already set up, and most of it working properly.
The user can recall a database entry using 7 different criteria--Type, Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Warehouse, Bin, and Shelf. The Type and Warehouse entries on the database are drop-down values, the other 5 values are text entries.
So far, I have been able to get the look up query to pull up the desired records on the Customer, PartNo, JobNo, Bin, and Shelf criteria using
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search Form]![Customer] & "*" .
However, with Type and Warehouse criterion, the two that use drop-down boxes in the database, I have been unsuccessful in being able to call up any records using either the above partial or the more exact:
Code: =[Forms]![Search Form]![Type]
I did try to change Type to a textbox on the look up query, but that was similarly unsuccessful. On a side note, I must use drop-downs on the Warehouse field since I have another query that concatenates that value with a couple others.
How can I, without delving into VB coding unless absolutely necessary, format the lookup query so that it will read the values of the drop downs?
there 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.
I 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
I am making a form at work for a coworker with cascading combo/list boxes where she can select a Customer, then Platform Description, then Period, then Year. I used VBA code for this and it's working perfectly - for single selection. I want to update this so she can select multiple Platform Descriptions and/or Periods and it will give all the applicable info.
I can use or a way to set up a query, etc. so that multi-select will work for me? Unfortunately, just changing the formatting to multiselect makes the listbox just blank white, so I'm assuming it's going to be more complicated.
(Here's the code I currently have for the cascading combo/list boxes, if you need it. SD0039DA_T is the table name where my listboxes are pulling info from.)
Code: Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_Load() On Error Resume Next CustomerCB.SetFocus PlatformDescriptionL.Enabled = False PeriodL.Enabled = False YearCB.Enabled = False End Sub
I am creating an absenteeism database which has the following tables:
tblEmp - PK - auto number, EmpId, First Name, Last name tblFunction - PK - FID (autonumber) has departments tblTL - PK TLID (autonumber) has list of team leaders tblRelated - pK - Id (auto), EmpId, TLID, FId as long integeres tblCodes - CodeId (auto), list of absenteeism codes like late, mia, etc EmpLeave - pk - autonumber, empid, codeid, hours, date of absenteeism
I have a Qry_Master which just joins all the information together as it gets updated on a monthly basis
Now, I am trying to create a form where the user has option to select one or more tls and one or more codes and when they hit the button, it should come up with all emps that have those codes and report to the team leader selected.
In my form, I have made both my list boxes as multiselect and i have Qry_frm that is a parameter query but when i run the button nothing happens and i cant seem to figure it out. I have attached the sample database to this thread.
I have 7 multi-select list boxes, which I want the user to be able to select multiple items and have it filter a subform by what is selected. The subform will not be visible.
Here is the code I tried for filtering my subform (which is throwing an error when I call it).
Private Function MasterSearch() On Error GoTo Error_MasterSearch
Dim StrgSQL As String Dim WhereClause As String StrgSQL = "SELECT * FROM MasterTbl"
[Code] ...
The above code was to test just 1 of the 7 listboxes. When I call it on click for the command button, it throws an error about the "Call MasterSearch".
I have an access project that I am working on and need to be able to select multiple items from a listbox and have the exact selections appear in a textbox on the same form. I have looked around and have not been able to find any code that works.
The columns are PayPeriod, StartDate, EndDate, FiscalYear
What I want to be able to do is highlight a chunk of dates and have the first selected StartDate and the last selected EndDate populate two hidden text boxes so I can use them for my queries/reports.
I've tried a couple different ways. Each time what happens is it only uses the last item I have selected in it's calculations.
Code: Dim ItemIndex As Variant For Each ItemIndex In Me.lstPayPeriods.ItemsSelected If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex) And Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex - 1) = False Then Date1.SetFocus Date1.Text = Me.lstPayPeriods.Column(2, Me.lstPayPeriods.ListIndex) End If Next
In this example I tried to have it go through each Item of the listbox. I wanted to check to see if the current row was selected and the row before it wasn't. That way I could determine it was the first item selected in the group of selected items. It would always only use the last item I had selected.
Code: Dim CurrentRow As Integer Dim FirstDate As Date For CurrentRow = 0 To Me.lstPayPeriods.ListCount - 1 If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(CurrentRow) Then Date2.SetFocus
[Code] ....
I tried to do something similar with this code. Again, it only uses the last item I have selected.
Hi 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!!
I 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
Hi 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.
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
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?
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 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.
