Multiselect List Box For Data Entry
Jul 13, 2006
I am using Access XP.
I have a table for experiments - tblexp.
Each experiment can have one or more projects within it. So I have a drop down list of the various projects in a separate table - tblprojref with fields project no (projno) and project title (protitle).
When I am setting up a new experiment I am entering the information into a form. Along with other information that populates the underlying table, I would like to have a multiselect list box which allows me to pick the projects linked to the experiment. These would then either populate the same tblexp or another. I can only achieve this if I am only selecting one project from the list.
How can I get the several items selected into different fields and linked to the one experiment? I am new to this and although have found various threads relating to this they include a lot of code which I don't understand. Is there a step by step easy way to achieve this?

I've got two tables, Properties and Valuations. Every six months the properties are revalued. I want to have a datasheet list of all the properties with a blank field for the new valuation so that the user can just go down the list and enter the new amount without having to select every property individually. Can I do this?

I would like to be able to create a recipe (saved in its own table) by pulling items from a multiselect list box (from the raw materials table) but which allows me to add the same ingredient more than once.
I work for a chemical manufacturing company and we need to track the cost of goods by recipe (final product), by linking the ingredients (where the cost of the raws are associated) to the final prodcut. Several of our products need to have chemicals added in the beginning, but then again at the end of the procedure unlike normal kitchen recipes.
(I sure hope I don't have to learn VBA . . . I'm totally new at Access!)
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have inherited a database that is used to track equipment that comes in for repair. One of the fields in this database is a memo field that lists the parts that are replaced on a piece of equipment. It has been requested that I leave this field as it is. However, I would like to regulate the data that is entered into to some extent. I need to ensure that there is a comma between every part number listed (there is another group that wants data from this database and they want to be able to separate this field out into individual fields). Is there a way to have Access look at the data in a memo field, find all the periods or ampersands, and replace them with commas?
The other thought I had was to provide the person filling in the database with a multi-select list box that lists all the available part numbers for a given piece of equipment. That person could select as many as she wants and when she was done, the database would take those values, put a comma between each one, and paste them in the memo field. Is that possible? What I have tried isn't working. I tried to get it to loop through the selected items and put them in the memo field, but I just end up with the last value selected instead of all of the items selected.
I don't know what to try next, Either the person entering the data is going to be upset because she has to type every part number in a different field, or the people receiving the data are going to be upset because there isn't a comma between each number.

I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.

I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?

Hi all,
I am not sure how to search the forum for info on this issue as I don't know the key words (Lingo) that would be used, so I decided to just ask...
I have a table called tblProducts with a one to many relationship with a table called tblTransactions.
I also have a paper form, much like a grocery list, that has known types of products to purchased on the top have and the bottom half has blank line to enter products purchased that are not listed above (or are unknown). The list is much larger and takes up more than one sheet of paper, but is done on a weekly basis. Here is a short "Grocery list" style example:
Date:_________
.
Description....Qty...........Description...Qty
Ice Cream:....................Milk:
....Vanilla......___Gal...........Whole......___Ga l.
....Chocolate..___Gal...........2%.........___Gal.
.......................................Nonfat...._ __Gal.
Bananas........___Ea.
..................................Meat:
Bread:..............................Pork.......___ lb.
..White.......___Loafs..........Beef.......___lb.
..Wheat......___Loafs..........Chicken....___lb.
.
----------------------------------------------------
____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___
____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___
____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___
____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___
.
I want to create a form that you can enter data into exactly like this and have the data find the product in tblProducts and then create a new transaction for that product in tblTransactions. If the product is new, then it would create a new product and the transaction. The date also has to be entered into each transaction, and most times the data is entered weeks after the paper is filled out, so using "today's" date won't work, it has to read it from the entered data.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to find anyone else doing this, but then I may not be searching with the right key words, as I don't know what you call this type of data entry.
Thank you.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/bubbajoe12345/workspace.jpgI've created a nice form for entering information into the record -- works for viewing the records as well. Here's the thing, in a traditional Rolodex you can somewhat see the names of nearby records. With this form as is, when using the arrows at the bottom to move around in the records, you can't really be sure how far away the name you're looking for is. See that mini table in the top left corner? I'd like to make it so that, when you click on a name there, the rest of the form changes to the corresponding information.
All of the rest of the form is linked through social security number. When a new person is chosen in the main body, all of the other tables change to reflect his information. Except for that single table in the top left corner. That table is unliked to the other tables and is merely sitting there on the form right now.
So, how can I link them such that selecting a name from that top left corner will change the person in the main body of the table (and thus change the other tables)?
While I'm asking, what's involved with turning this form into one of those Database Web Page things?
Thanks for all of your help, everyone, I wouldn't have made it this far without you.

First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.

I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.

I am trying to save specific data from a data entry form to a specific depending on what the user selects from a dropdown/combo box.
So if the user selects "test company from the combo box, that data (from that form) will save to the Test company data table.

My aim is to have my forms open to a new record, which I have done, but if my users need to then update or edit data in previous entries, they can click a button that allows this.
My thoughts were to add a button, then put in code so that the necessary properties changed the form from displaying a new record or records entered since opening it, to showing all records in the associated table....
As an example there is a table for purchase orders. When clicking on this from the main menu form, it opens up the purchase order form to create a brand new PO. At times though, we will need to revisit an order to attach a copy of an invoice, or update the cost of whatever was purchased.

My question is this: I have a table where I'm entering employees' hours worked. Basically, it's something like this:
ID WorkerNumberDateworkedTimeStartTimeEnded
121/2/201310:00:00 AM3:00:00 PM
221/3/20132:00:00 AM11:00:00 AM
321/4/201312:15:00 AM11:30:00 AM
421/5/201310:25:00 PM11:00:00 AM
531/2/201311:00:00 AM3:30:00 PM

731/10/20137:00:00 AM4:00:00 PM
I have a query that (easily) determines how many hours an employee has worked on any given day. What I can't figure out at all, is how to write a query that can figure out how much time an employee had off in between shifts.
Thus far I'm able to run a query that separates this main table into individual workers by their id numbers, but can't figure out how to determine time off between shifts - as the last hour worked one day, and the first hour worked the next day are on two different lines (they are two different table entries).

My db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.
i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.
What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.

I have a shared db where there is a requirement for more than 1 user to enter data in the same form and hence the same table. Up till now there has only been 1 data entry clerk so there has not been a problem.
Would accessing the same form by different users cause a problem, assumming they are inputting different records?

This has most definitely been asked before but I really cant find anything on the forum! Ive created a data entry form which has a save button which the user must click each time to save the record. However how do I refresh the form i.e. empty all data from the previous record without exiting the form. Ive tried to combine the undo macro but that simply deletes the previous record. Any help please!!!

Hi all
I have an unbound form. To the left I have a list box with a list of employee names. To the right I have a bunch of text fields. Once I've entered the data, I click on a button and it adds a new record. It works perfectly provided I add one employee at a time. It gets painful when I have multiple employees and I'm entering the same data.
Is there a way I can multiselect employees from the listbox, fill in the data fields and add multiple records which just one click??
I'd appreciate any advice.

For Example(All in Names and Home1 in Homes) it gives me all the Results.
I have tried several criterias to solve it out but iam still failing.
Hope there will be help. Attached is a sample db in A2K and A97.
Thanks in Advance.

Merry X-mas everyone!!!
I'm new to this message board and I'm glad i came across it. I've been looking for a way to multiselct search using Combo boxes.Reading through the threads here i found one (Posted by SBaxter). I've use the SQL Statements and VB code for my search. It works but not like his for some reason. The problem i'm having is when you open the form it asks for criteria like a parameter Query does. You have to type it in before it loads, unlike his where you click what you want out of combo boxes. At first i thought it was something i did wrong with the query but i've noticed that in his DB if you have the form open and then open the query it doesn't act like parameter. It does if the form is close. With mine that doesn't matter i still have to type it in! So i'm guessing it's with how i set up the list box in my form. I've attached a copy for someone to look at.
Thank.

Hi all
I have a list box with a bunch of names in it that links to a subform on a master form. At the moment I click on a name and update details in the subform. It would be nice if I could multiselect names then update details all at once without having to individually change each one. I tried the multiselect property but I get index or relationship errors. I don't have any relationships (because I'm not adding new records... just updating) and I changed the indexes to NO. Didn't work. I tried!! Any idea how I might get this working??
I appreciate any advice.
