I have looked at several examples within this forum but can't seem to implement any suggestions. My plight is this: I want to introduce a progress status to my database. I would like to do this by depicting a traffic light (green, amber or red). The user needs to be able to pick one of the 3 through a combo box. If the user picks “Red” then the bmp picture will be displayed representing a red traffic light. I created a table with the 3 pictures embedded – tbtProgressStatus. I have a main table called tblClientData where I have a field in which I’m trying to apply a lookup value looking at tbtProgressStatus. However, the embedded objects are not showing in the wizard. Does this mean that this is not possible?
Yours truly
I was wondering if anyone could let me know how to do the following:
I have a form with a subform in it. I based the subform on a combo box that gets its info from a table seperate from the form(This works fine) when an item is selected from the combo box it retrieves the correct subform accordingly. I need to know if it is possible if when a selection is made from the combo box it could select the correct picture from the tab folder i have on the form aswell as the correct subform. The picture of my form I have attached may explain better than i can.
I understand that their are several ways to work with pictures and comboboxes. Working with an OLE Picture is not prefered. But I only need to add 5 little signatures. Previous attempts, like trying to connect with my SharePoint site and our server didn't work. So I have only one option left which is to work with an OLE object. Because the pictures (signatures) are just arround 15kb, I think it will not influence my database a lot.
Because I only have about 2 weeks experience working with Access, I can't enable to show the signature (Picture in jpg or bmp) when a person is selected in a combobox. I compared the code with several other posts but all do it very differently. Signature is an OLE field. In this field for each inspector I paste his Signature.
In the form I'm trying to show his Signature via a combobox. But I can't find out how I have to make the connection between the Picture field and the table were the picture is stored. And this in combination with a combobox. Here is my code were I'm struggling with:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private Sub Inspector_AfterUpdate() Select Case Inspector.Value Case "Inspectors_Name" Me.Signature.Picture = Me.Inspector.Column(2)
Hi all! i am wanting to display a signature (jpeg image) when a combo box is displaying "Yes" and the picture to be hidden when the combo box is either empty or set as "No". i have before managed to change colours of other fields depending on combo boxes - but my coding isnt that great, so i dunno what code is req'd!all help much appriciated!thanksDave
I would like to set up a picture in the form that changes based on a combobox selection, for example if you select from combo box list "design1", a picture that have a name : design1 will appear as a background to the form ..
I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done 2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
I have two combo boxes on the same form bound to a table. I want the contents of the next combo box to change based on the previous combo selection e.g
cboContinent cboCountry Africa Zambia Africa Congo Africa South africa Europe England Europe Holland
If I choose Africa in cboContinent, I want to see only Zambia, South Africa and Congo under cboCountry and if I choose Europe I want to see only England and Holland
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237" If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do: 1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag") 2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool") 3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID. 2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type FROM Order_Type INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).
I would like to set up rules/constraints such that the value selected in combo box A determines the available values in combo box B. For example, "Combo box A" is bound to the [PartnerType] field and "Combo box B" is bound to the [PartnerRole] field. Let's say that the two choices in Combo Box A are "LLC", "LP", and "Corporation". There are 5 possible choices in Combo Box B: "X", "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U". If a user selects "LP" in Combo Box A, I would like Combo Box B to only show choices "X" and "Y". And if a user selects "LLC", only choices "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U".
Similarly, I would like to set this up so that Combo Box B is not initially visible--it becomes visible when a user selects "LLC" or "LP". If a user selected "Corporation", Combo Box B would remain hidden.
It's been a while since I've used Access, and I seem to have forgotten this.
I have a form which allows entry of Borrower's details. I have 2 combo boxes on the form.
They are:
cboBorrName cboLoanSN
Once the user selects the name from the cboBorrName, I want the cboLoanSN to display all loans associated with the Borrower so that they can select the correct loan and add repayment details accordingly.
I have added the following SQL statement as the record source of cboLoanSN
Code:SELECT * from tblBorrower WHERE tblBorrower.fldLoanSN=[Forms]![frmBorrower]![cboBorrName]
I have also added the following code in the After Update event of cboBorrName
I'm trying to build a database for daily work. My work in daily basis I have to fill all condition for several items.
We have two areas, with two locations under each area, and three systems under each location and each system contain more than 500 items.
I created all tables and fill by all information:
1-Table 1: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4, Area 5, Area 6. 2-Table 2: Location 1, Location 2. 3-Table 3: System 1, System 2, System 3. 4-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-1 5-Table 4: all items under System 1-1-2
[Code] ....
Last table will be LogBook which will be as follow:
date l time l area l location l system l item l Conition1 l Conition2 l Conition3
My question regarding to the form of the above table:
How can I make a combo box for area field and when I select for example area1 will appear only the locations which under area1 in location field, and when I select location1 for example will appear only the systems under location1 in system field, and when I select system1 one for example will appear only items under system 1.Combo box list will be based on the selection in previous combo box and so on.
I am trying to select a value from one combo box and on the basis of this selection the other combo box show only those values which have link to the value I have selected.
I have a main form that filters data in a subform based on selections via combo box users make on the main form.
So I have the 'department' and 'manager's name'. If someone selects 'Human Resources' from 'department' combo box, then I only want to see the managers that are in the Human Resources departement when I drop down the combo box for 'manager's name'. Currently I'm seeing all the managers and a user can select a manager that is not in human resources and get no data returned. I prefer for him to get a list of those that are in that department only. The source of the combo box is a query.
I have been creating a form, based on only one table. Here I am displaying data as text boxes and subfrom from the same table. At the beginning, I was interested in controlling the display of the data according to the combo box (in this case is the PO number). Now, I would like to add another combox box which is the year (I have a column with the date, and also I have a column that shows only the years digits in my table) Also, I have a subform that display the data from the same table specifics records that I want. It means that I want to pick the year first, and then in the combox box of po number shows only option of that year, and hence the text boxes and subforms change accordingly to the two combox boxes.
Once a supplier name is selected from the combo box i only want it displayed that suppliers products in the subform, subform. (products combo box) I can get a basic query to show these results but can get the combo box to do the same.
I have 2 combo boxes one called primary which has Primary, Secondary, Tertiary
I also i have combo box called "Is There another insurance" which has yes, no, none,
What i want to do is if user selects primary the combo box called is there another insurance becomes visiable however if user selects Secondary, or Tertiary from the primary combo box the combo box called Is There another insurance becomes invisable.
I have two comboboxes on my form one 'cboMake' and the other 'cboModel'. Both of their values are stored in individual columns ('Make' and 'Model') in the same table 'tblStock'. What I would like to achieve is when I select a value from 'cboMake' that 'cboModel' will filter it's data values to only display Models that are linked to Make i.e. if I select Make Logitech I would like it to only display the following results for Model: 'K120', 'K200', 'G500', 'G502' etc. and not display any of the other values associated with another Make.
I have a table in which I have following fields:- RegionCountryVendorName
I want to create a form which will filter the data based on selection in previous form. (I dont want user to make any changes on the form i.e. Add,Edit or Delete) Hence i have kept all the fields on the form as "unbound".In my form I have CboRegion , CboCountry...For CboRegion i have created a select query which will filter data and shows me unique value. This part is working absolutely fine.
For CboCountry i have created parameter query based on selection made by user in CboRegion. The query name is QrySelectCountry which is showing under Row Source property.When i run the form and i select item in CboRegion the data in CboCountry is popping up correctly, but when i change the value in CboRegion the data is not updating in CboCountry. (If i hit F5 it is working fine but not updating automatically).
I tried afterupdate and change event of CboRegion by putting Me.Cbocountry.Requery or DoCmd.OpenQuery "QrySelectCountry" but still the data in CBoCountry is not updating.what needs to be done so that my fields will pop up data automatically.
I have 2 combo boxes. 1 is year, the other is company. Let's called them 'cboYear' and 'cboCompany'.
The fields inside the combo boxes are from tables called 'Year' and 'Company'. I select from a drop down menu and populate a table called 'Audit Records'.
I would like to create a form that basically does this :
I select a year, then the cboCompany refreshes and shows me ONLY the relevant companies that have that specific year.
How do I do that? The problem is that when I select a year, the 2nd combo box shows ALL the companies (unfiltered).
p/s :I've tried reading webpages, did not help, only confused. I am relatively new to access.
Having Trouble with a Form, Currently the Form is Setup so Data Results can Be Stored, with a Combo Box to Enter a Result RED/Amber/Green. when the Result is Amber or Red, there is a Subform on the Right were People Need to Enter a Value ie the Reason for the Red/Amber. This all Works Fine, However People have a Habit of Not Entering the Values on the Sub Form. I carnt Find a Way to Make the Subform Demand Data if the Value on the Main form is Red/Amber.
Any One have a Idea on the way to do, i.e is there a Property I am Missing or Do i Need to Change the Form so that the Subform Lauches after Update based on result ?
Hello everyone, I have a combo box on a form tha displays information based on 2 columns from a table.What I want the combo to do is to allow the user to select the row he wants and for the field that is bound to the combo box to store the outcome of collumn1 + collumn2 (string values).
