I'm building a database for a realtor friend. Part of his job is keeping track of where his clients want to live. I have added a field named "Areas". I need to populate that field with names of cities where his clients want to buy thier house. Sometimes there are only a couple of cities. Other times there could be more then 10. I don't want him to type these cities in. He is not a good typer, either am I, and he is prone to abbreviations and typos. Garbage in garbage out. I would like to provide him a drop down list, or something like that, of all the cities or areas and have him select each area and then either hit a command button or copy/paste it to that text box. Either way will work. The command button would be nifty. The result would give him the option of doing a form filter and being able to filter that text box for ex: "atlanta" and "syracuse". He then could cue these people when he has a property come available in either one of those cities.
I DON'T understand VBA code. I don't know how to write it or where to put it.
I tried to search this site and I could not find any threads like this, to my amazement. If there is a similiar post out there and I could not find it I apologize in advance.
I have a database that contains different departments per office location with the dept. codes such as 100, 101, 102, 103 etc.
I like to have a criteria in a query that will give me all departments that are running from one office location OR if I do not want one dept. to show in my query to be excluded.
Also, the way I currently set the parameters is, it is asking for the office location by state, county, city, address and department code. I set the department criteria as Not [Department] which excludes the dept. that I do not want to see in the query, BUT I also want to have an option that when I run the query to SEE all the departments.
Hi! I hate to ask for so much help on this, but I'm lost.
I have a budget database that is used to track equipment for purchase. Many times, the same item (a desk, or chalkboard) is needed for more than one room, so I need to buy more than one. The way my form is set up, I put the detail about the chalkboard in and select the room ID for the room it is going into. The problem with this is that I don't want to have to do it for every single chalkboard location in the college.
So, I want to use a multiple selection list box to add the records all at once. In other words, I want to enter the item detail in my form, and then select all of the rooms that item is going into, and then click OK! and have it create new records for each room that item is going into. So rather than having one new record created (as would be with a combo box), if I have three rooms selected, I want the OK button to add the record to the table three times with a different room number for each record. Any ideas????? Thanks!
In form "sendmail" their is a combobox "to" which gets ur email address. i want we could be able to select multiple entries thruogh this combo box and it should be seprated by a semi colon
In my application, I am allowing multiple selection in a listbox. The data is saved in table. While retrieving, the items that were selected for saving, show as selected. But on printing ListIndex, it prints -1. What could be wrong ? I need to resolve it. Any solution ?

This is probably in the wrong forum, but I'm not sure what area the answer would cover, either queries, macros, VBA etc.
I have a form, on which is a listbox with multiple selection enabled getting it's data from a query. What I want to do is for the user to be able to select multiple products from the listbox and have some VBA code or query concatenate each id and insert them into a table, separated by commas so I can separate them again for reports etc.
Eg.
Listbox: ID 1 2 3
User selects 1 and 2 and clicks submit. Selections are concatenated to 1,2 and inserted into the table.
Please bear in mind I'm not the best at this kind of advanced databasing, so a simple or at least easy to follow answer would be very appreciated.
I've got an issue with a query/form combination that I'm working on. I have the following:
A query where one of the the fields is 'Name' (a text field). 'Name' can be one of 6 different values. I have a form which has 6 check boxes, one for each name. I'm using check boxes on the form rather than a multiple selection list box simply because I think it looks better.
When the user has checked one or more of the check boxes and hits the 'show results' button, I want the query to open up with the details for orders associated with the name(s) selected.
I am writing my query in 'design view' rather than in 'SQL view', and don't know what to put in the criteria box of the 'Name' field. Depending on which check boxes are checked, I'm building a string and storing it in a text box, called Text1. I think the best way to do the filter is to use the In operator, and I currently have a structure like this in the criteria of the query: In([Forms]![Form1]![Text1]). This, however, doesn't give any results.
The problem I have, therefore, is that I don't know the correct syntax for the text within Text1. If I have, for example "Rob","Dave" as the text in Text1, it doesn't work, but if I put In("Rob","Dave") in the criteria rather than referencing the text box, it works fine.
so i have two listboxes that have the values i want for the query parameters. I slightly modified one code i found so that i can query using one of them, however i cannot figure out how to get the second listbox to put criteria into another field. The working code i'm using is:
Private Sub Command_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command_Click
On Error GoTo Err_Handler Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
For Each varItem In Me.PartyBox.ItemsSelected strCriteria = strCriteria & "counterparties.counterparty =" & Chr(34) & Me.PartyBox.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & " Or " Next varItem
Err_Handler: If Err.Number = 5 Then MsgBox "Must Make A Selection First", , "Make A Selection First" Exit Sub Else MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description Resume Exit_Handler End If
Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "combqry" DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
I am designing a small database. I have problem in selecting Mutiple list values from list box.
I have a table of Personal.With fields SrNo ------------- autonumber Name -------------- Text Age ---------- Number Interset ------------ (Text) //In Interset Properties through lookup tag I have Display Control -------ListBox Row Source Type --------- Value List Row Source ---------------- "Swimming","Football","Cricket",hockey"
When I made form I got all the List Box Items. For single Selection it has worked. But If I want Multiple selection. I changed the property List Box property Multi Select from "None" to Simple. Now It worked with Multiple Selection.But If one first record I select Swimming, Football.On second record it would be blank. And select my self. But the previous one is saved on all the next records.If two selction on first next all same selction with 2. If three then three.
I want Individual selection. It must be saved.According to corresponding record.
I’am a fairly new to access I have a Database with forms, on one form that is linked to the student table you can put in all the student details. what I want to do for the post code is have a drop down box with two place names that have different formats for there post codes E.G London : LL0 0LL and Cardiff : LL00 0LL , depending on which one is selected the corresponding mask would be applied to the Post Code text box. Any Suggestions will be much appreciated.
I have a database which keeps track of a trucking business. Each truck has a trailer number. I have no problem having a query prompt the user to enter a single trailer number to query on. What can I do when the customer needs to select more than one trailer number to query on?
I created a button that when pressed concatenates any items selected in a list box and places them in a text box on the form with the format of "itemselected1" or "itemselected2" or "itemselected3"
However, I need to set the criteria in a query to look at this text box and return the results based on that selection. When I do that I get no results even is the query should run fine with that type of format.
Attached is a copy of the Code for the button and the result Dim txtValue As String Dim varItem As Variant Dim strlnameselect As String Dim intCount as Integer 'Cycle through selected rows in listbox
For Each varItem In Me.Queueselect.ItemsSelected intCount = intCount + 1 Select Case Len(txtValue) Case 0 txtValue = Chr(34) & Me.Queueselect.ItemData(varItem) Case Else txtValue = txtValue & Chr(34) & " Or " & Chr(34) & Me.Queueselect.ItemData(varItem) End Select If intCount=Me.Queueselect.ItemsSelected.Count Then txtValue = txtValue & Chr(34) End If Next 'Assign variable value to textbox Me.Queuetorun.Value = txtValue
End Sub
the result in the text box is "A" or "B" or "C" or "D"
Hello, I am building a sort of property management database, and I have run into a bit of a problem. The database will store information about buildings, leases, maintenance etc..
My problem has to do with units in buildings. The tracking of units was requested near completion of the database, and now I have to somehow incorporate it into the database.
Previously, the user when filling out lease information, simply had to manually fill in the unit numbers. It was just a text box, and the user could input what ever he/she wanted. For example unit:1 or unit:3,4,5 etc.
Now since we want to monitor unit sizes, instead of having the user just manually type it in, we want the user to select actual units.
I have several tables but I think the ones that are of concer here are:
Buildings Leases Units Tenants
Units table right now stores the following: unitId buildingName unitNumber size (and others that aren't really important) the unit table will store unit information for all buildings and is related to the buildings by the buildingName
So when viewing unit information on the building form, the units are in a subform, and are filtered by the buildingName. Everything works here.
Now for my problem. What I am looking to do is when a user is entering lease information in, instead of choosing the buildingName from a drop downbox and then just typing in the unit numbers, I would like to have the user select the buildingName from the dropdown box, but then besides the unit field, press a button which will open a popup form, displaying all the unit numbers for that building. Then the user can select which units the lease pertains to (it can be more than one unit), and this will populate the unit field.
I want the popform to look something like this
□ unit 1 □ unit 2 □ unit 3 □ unit 4 □ unit 5 □ unit 5
etc.
I think I know how to filter the form, so that it only displays relavent units to the selected building, but I have no idea how to display multiple records on one page, and allow the selection of multiple records.
Sorry about the long post but I was trying to be really clear in what I am trying to achieve (hopefully it was clear not confusing). Any input you guys might have, is very much appreciated.
I need to create a form to Add/Update into SMaster and SI_map tables, which has one-to-many relationship, that's why I use a list box to show the values from SI_map.
in SMaster [ Sid, other fields ] in SI_map [ primary key, Sid, ILookupid ] in ILookup [ ILookupid, IName ]
questions: 1. How to get the multi-selected values from the list box? 2. insert these multiple records into SI_map table at the same time with SMaster (if I use the same form to populate all these fields) 3. how to populate the records into form for user to see and update the values?
Any suggestion is appreciated, it is very flexible to change any format such as SMaster and SI_map can be separate forms, as long as it works.
I have created form with multiple tables field in some of these fields I have assigned the combo box selection the total combo boxes in form is four and all are unique numbers but this form is incomplete.
1.When I select or update any of four combo box then remaining combo boxes and fields on form should be updated automatically with related records.
2.I need to bring calculated fields from multiple queries on to my current form .how I can insert query fields in to form...
I have a form called "Record Call" when a user can input the calls that they have made or are scheduled. This form is based on the table "Call Records". I have created a new table called "CallAttendees" and added a listbox to my form for users to select who attended/participated in the call.
My code loops through the selections and writes these selections to the "CallAttendees" table. In this table i have an auto #, CallRecord, and Attendee fields. My code is supposed to write the "ID" field from the "Call Record" table to the "CallAttendees" table so that i can create the relationship between the two tables. However, this field is coming up blank since my form isn't generating the auto # until the record is closed.The tables are stored in a SQL server. I also tried saving the record prior to running my code.
I am working on a form (UI). Initially I have used a combo box, where you can pick an option and the rest of the form will display only data related to the option/record. My form contains different subform, and most of them are PivotChart form as subform, and also some table with the text box that will display the data according the selection from the combox box or form control.
I would like to know if there is any way beside the combox box, that will allow me to do multiple select. For example in excel, for pivot table, we can do multiple selection and automatically, the pivot table will show the total (let say sum) of the selected option.
Again, my form has pivot chart form as subform, and label with text.
Also, I have a form that is only have pivot chart as subforms.
I am trying to resolve a problem with selecting multiple records.
I have a table called T_user and bound form called F_user.
This form displays all 3 fields from that table.
When I want to add a new user, I enter a name and select a department.
Some of the users work for few departments, so here is the question:
How to select multiple departments for one user?
The department field in F_user is set to LISTBOX, and the multi select option in properties is set to SIMPLE.
I can select multiple departments, but as we know it won't save in the table, it will leave it as NULL value.
How can I save the record then? In another form I need to select users from specific department, so lets say A.Smith, need to be visible in those few selected ones.
I have a combo box that takes its record source is a Query, this all works fine and when i click on the Combo box, I see 4 columns of data but when i select the record, only the first column displays, is there a way that I can display all 4 columns in the selected combo box, or will I have to have 1 combo box and 3 text boxes to display the data, is so how would I do that.
I have a form based on a query.On the form I have 4 comboboxes.The combo boxes filter eachother without a problem (based on custom select query).Now I want after the fourth combobox value is selected, I want to populate a text field with a value from a different column from the master query (after the 4 selections only 1 value should be possible)I try to say this easy.Master query contains 5 columns:
- group - type - job - insurance - charge
combo1 selects group (and filters records) combo2 selects type (from remaining records and filters again) combo3 selects job (from remaining records and filters again) combo4 selects insurance (from remaining records and filters again)
[code]....
This works great and the dropbox only shows 1 OF EACH DIFFERENT record...If I add a text box and want to see the "charge" value, that I thought I could use the ME.text-code. But in order to do this, I have to add the charge column into the query of Combo4.the dropbox for insurance gives me multiple values that are the same. Is there any way to make this work?
I'm building a test registration form, and I want to populate 2 additional fields based on the TestID ComboBox selection. This same TestID table has a Requirement and Expected result field, that I want to display for the end user, to make sense of the test in question. Multiple fields in the ComboBox does not work since you cannot select a single testID; you can click on the relevant testID, but the table remains in view, rather than displaying only the relevant testID.
Got a bit stuck in a database. I have a form based on a query. On the form I have 4 comboboxes.
The combo boxes filter eachother without a problem (based on custom select query)
Now I want after the fourth combobox value is selected, I want to populate a text field with a value from a different column from the master query (after the 4 selections only 1 value should be possible)
Master query contains 5 columns: - group - type - job - insurance - charge
combo1 selects group (and filters records) combo2 selects type (from remaining records and filters again) combo3 selects job (from remaining records and filters again) combo4 selects insurance (from remaining records and filters again)
Combo4 is based on following query: -column1 Insurance Total=Group by Show=yes -column2 Job Total=Where show=no Criteria [forms]![name].[combo]
This works great and the dropbox only shows 1 OF EACH DIFFERENT record
If I add a text box and want to see the "charge" value, that I thought I could use the ME.text-code. But in order to do this, I have to add the charge column into the query of Combo4.
If I do this, the dropbox for insurance gives me multiple values that are the same. Is there any way to make this work?
I'm building a database for a realtor friend. Part of his job is keeping track of where his clients want to live. I have added a field named "Areas".

I would like to provide him a drop down list, or something like that, of all the cities or areas and have him select each area and then either hit a command button or copy/paste it to that text box. Either way will work. The command button would be nifty. The result would give him the option of doing a form filter and being able to filter that text box for ex: "atlanta" and "syracuse".

I have a form called frmTshtExp which is bound to a query called qryTshtExpenses. Most of the fileds in the form are combos and text boxes bound to the fields in the queries.
However, the first combo is unbound. It is called cboProjectSelect and it filters the second combo called cboWorkstreamExp. This is done using a query called qryTshtWorkstreamExp which has workstreamID, workstream and projectID as fields.
The filter works fine. The trouble is that selecting a project from the first combo filters workstreams from the second combo for ALL records that are entered. In other words, no matter how many rows are entered in the datasheet on the form, they all have to have a workstream belonging to just ONE project. I want to be able to enter different workstreams belonging to DIFFERENT projects on each row.
I hope you can help. I've put in a reduced version of my db in the following location:
unfortunately, I didn't know how to disable the securities I've set up, so you need to log use the shortcut (after modifying the target location in it's properties) and use the word "forum" as username and password.
