Populating An Editable Text Box
Sep 22, 2004
I have a complex problem:
I have a form that displays the result of a query in a listbox (lst_dp_results).
Upon selecting a result in the listbox other data about the selected record is displayed on the same form in listboxes
Code:Private Sub lst_dp_results_AfterUpdate() With Me.lst_dp_productname .RowSource = _ "Select M_Paint.Product_Name FROM M_Paint " & _ "WHERE M_Paint.Catalogue_Code = '" & Me.lst_dp_results & "'"End Sub
As all these fields are listboxes displaying a single value based on the "rowsource" string, they are not editable.
I will like to have these as textboxes instead of list boxes but I guess textboxes do not have anything like 'rowsource'...
Can anyone suggest some method to display value from a field in a textboxt AND be able to edit it??

Hi
I have a form which retrieves and lists data from a query.
I need to add 2 textboxes on the end, which allow a user to add comments about the particular record, which are then saved directy to the database.
Unfortunately, the query has joins in it so it is impossible to have the data directly linked to a particular record in the database as per the following detail:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=61901&highlight=query+multiple+source+update
So, any ideas about how to go about this? Ideally, it all needs to e on the same form.
Thanks.

Hi guys ( and girls)
Ok so Im a noob but I have a problem with populating textboxes
This is basicly the code
' dim some variables
Dim var1(10)
Dim var2(10)
Dim var3(10)
Dim var4(1000)
w = 290
y = 0
For x = 1 To 10
y = y + 1
w = w + 1
var3(x) = y
' set focus and get some data
Set ctl = Combo277
var0 = IIf(Nz(ctl.Value) = "", "", [Combo277])
var1(x) = DLookup(var3(x), "variable type", "[machine] = [machine]")
' compair the data and do some more stuff
If var1(x) = "" Then var2(y) = ""
If var1(x) = "1" Then var2(y) = "Set"
If var1(x) = "2" Then var2(y) = "Act"
If var1(x) = "3" Then var2(y) = "Prod"
' this is where I am having trouble- var 4(w) holds the name of the text box that I wish to use on my form
' and var2(y) holds the data I wish to place in the text box
' so how can I tell the code that the data in var4(w) ,290 for example, is actually a textbox name instead of
' just a numeric variable??
var4(w) = var2(y)
Next x
So any help would be excepted with blind thankx
Tankx in advance Chris

Dear All:
Code:
Private Sub text458_AferUpdate()
If Graduation_date = 2/1/2005 Then
TEXT_GRADUATION_DATE = "DATED AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK THIS FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND FIVE."
End Sub
The Graduation_date is a combobox where the dates are selected. In a textbox titled "TEXT_GRADUATION_DATE", it should return "DATED AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK THIS FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND FIVE."
This text box is blank.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Many thanks in advance,
Dion

I have text boxes in a form displayed in a continous form with rows and columns. For ex. I populated textbox in column1, then edit some textboxes in column1. Once I go the column2 to populated textbox in column2, textbox1 is default to its orginal data, it doesn't hold the data I made changed to.

I have a text box that I'd like to update from a table like a combo box. I text box is for a order type depending on the order type there can be a sub order type. How I would like to handle this is to have the list box with the primary order types and after the user chooses a primary they can type a semicolon and are given a list of sub order types. Is this possible?

I am new to access but I am creating a form on access 2010 for a Pass Request. On the form so far I have two cascading combo boxes that work great so far. The problem is that once a name is selected from the second combo box(cboFullNames) I want a textbox underneath to populate(txtOrg). I have tried using requery and refresh but it never works. The only thing that seems to pull up the information is pressing the refresh button.

Hi All
Been having trouble setting up a combo box in a form that displays data from the same line in the table into a text box.
I am trying this with a memo field without any luck. I am using a 2 column query for the combo box, the first column contains the name and the second contains the requirements (memo).
I have put in the after update code:
Private Sub CustName_AfterUpdate()
Me!CustReq = Me![CustName].Column(2)
End Sub
Can anyone please shed light on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Probably an easy one here...I have a series of cascading combo boxes where once the last once it chosen, I'd like some sales info to populate in a group of text boxes. What command would I use for this?
Also, I have a checkbox that I'd like to use to either enable or disable a textbox as well. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello,
This is my first time posting here and I hope someone can help me. I am not experienced with coding in access and only recently started using forms.
I am trying to create a text box that automaticly fills in once a selection is made in a combo box.
There are only 2 tables and 1 form I am working with. Table 1 has columns "code" and "bu". The second table has several columns, all blank, that the form fills in.
The combo box is working correctly, it displays all the "code"s. Once the code is selected I would like a text box to display the "bu" column.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I have a combo where the list is populated with a bit of VB code to create a two field list. When the user selects the item they want from the list it displays the item in the combo box and should populate a text box in the same row with the value from the second column.
This combo is part of an orders subform and the user is selecting a product from the list which displays the product_name and the product_id.
The problem is that the product_id is not filled in and access returns the following error:
Run-time error ‘3101’:
The Microsoft Jet database cannot find a record in the table ‘product_table’ with key matching field(s) product_id.
This is the VB code that populates the list :
[code]
Private Sub comboCatagory_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim sProd_description As String
sProd_description = "SELECT products_table.product_id, products_table.prod_description " & _
"FROM products_table " & _
"WHERE products_table.prod_catagoryID = " & "'" & Me.comboCatagory_ID.Column(0)
Me.comboProd_description.RowSource = sProd_description
Me.comboProd_description.Requery
End Sub
[end code]
What am I doing wrong?
Thx
Kev.

Hi, I'm in the process of building a program in access 2003 for estimating roofs, I've ran into a little problem, as described below. any suggestions would be very useful
Populating the text box’s that relate to the chosen combo box’s with the sum of a calculation.
In other words if X combo box is chosen (There are many combo boxes to choose from) populate xx text box with the sum of a calculation.
Refer to the print screen example of my program: http://www.roofmart.net/Rest.asp
Notice under the label felts the 15lb 36” felt combo box is chosen and it displays the value of 11 and next to the combo box is a text box that displays the value of 25 The calculation will be (11*25) = 275 this value of 275 must be added to the text box values that are being shown in the forms header under 30yr where it reads $4,606.80 and 40 yr $6002.80 only, this is because the 30yr comp and the 40 yr comp combo boxes are the only chosen roof types under the label roof types above the felt label.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks -- Any help with be greatly appreciated.

I have a text box that displays a name of a law from one table, based on that law name I want to populate a combo box with different options on how to comply with that law that come from a different table. The compliance options I need to pull in are different for each law. Finally I would like to have the selected option saved in the table the laws are coming from.
I have tried using a rowsource query [Form]![form1]![Law] for the combo box of law options but keep getting errors.

I'm new to access. Hope someone can offer some help!
I have created a simple database to better organise some day-to-day office data management. For instance, I have a form (just) to record event attended by staff. The data would then be output as a brief report on overall office activities. Since it's event-oriented, staff attendance is just one complementary information. I went through most of the post re multi-select. I understand that it may not be a good idea to return values from multi-select list boxes into a text field, as it would be problematic for using data-analysis in the future.
In my case, I just need to have a text box, neatly (and easy for user, too) shows who attended. As suggested in one of the posting, I follow the instruction of http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;210203. But it doesn't seem working. I attach my databsae (sorry, it's very simple, as I want to test whether the multi-select work).
Your help would be greatly appr:confused: :confused: :confused: ciate!
Also, what about if I group option button, will it allow multiple return by the way?

I have two questions.
I have a form with 2 combo boxes. The first pulls from a simple list. Once you make a choice, the second combo box is then filtered by the first. This works correct, except that once a choice is made in the first, the filter is locked. If you change the first combo box's value a second time it does not effect the second box. The query that I am using for the second combo box has two columns that pull the first 50 characters of a pair of memo fields. Quote: SELECT MSSS.SS_ID, Left([Application_Name],50) AS Expr1, Left([Description],50) AS Expr2, MSSS.Site_Code
FROM MSSS
WHERE (((MSSS.Site_Code)=[Forms]![Edit or Delete Requests]![Combo6])); These fields are then used to populate 2 text fields using an event procedure. Quote: Private Sub Combo10_AfterUpdate()
' Display Partial Application Name and Description based on choice
Me!txtApplication_Name = Me!Combo10.Column(1)
Me!txtDescription = Me!Combo10.Column(2)
End Sub This is working fine, but it starts the next problem.
I need to change the form to include the entire memo field into a text box. I was using the columns of the second combo box to fill them in. Since the combo box is limited to only 50 characters, i could only grab part of it. I am guessing there is a much better way to accomplish what I need, but I am too inexperienced with forms and vb to come up with it. Below are the fields I need from table MSSS
Business_Name
Application_Name
Description
Acronym
Level_1_Support
Level_2_Support
Escalation_process
Troubleshooting
Priority
Links
Modified
Disabled
Thanks in advance to any help!

I have a report based on a query. I want to populate 6 Text Boxes with Dates from fields in another query. The date fields I want to add will be headings for columns that represent weeks (they change all the time so can�t be hard figures). The two queries are not really related by any common field. I am not able to get this working because the fields I want are not part of the query that is the Record Source for the Report.
Is there any way that I can do this? Can I change the record source of just the text boxes?

The main issue I'm having is trying to populate a text box based on a combo box selection. I've found threads on that - the twist that is throwing me for a loop is that I'm dealing with two different forms.
I have a main/welcome form with two combo boxes on it. Based on the user's selections in these two combo boxes, two different forms are opened for data entry. For instance, box 1 has A, B, C and box 2 has x, y, z. If a user chooses B and z, then form B and form z are opened. What I want is for a text box to be populated on one of the opened forms, not the same (main/welcome) form. In other words, when B and z are chosen, I would like there to be a textbox autofilled with "z" on form z.

Hi. I created a form to be used for editing records. It displays ALL records in a "Files" table that match the BoxNo entered on a previous form. The record source is a query which has a relationship between the tblBoxes (one) and tblFiles (many). The records are showing in the form correctly but it will not allow me to edit.
I have set the allow edit, addition, deletion properties of the form to YES, and data entry to NO. Fields are not locked, and they have active tab stops. I also tried using VBA and set the datamode to edit.
Help please!?!

I've been using DLookUp in controls on forms, for instance, the control source would be:
=DLookUp("[BookPrice]","[BookBeltInfo]","[Soc Sec] = Forms![Apprentice Information]![Soc Sec #]")
I'd like to put some sort of direct SQL statement into the control source so that the displayed value is directly editable. I.e., the user can type in the control to directly change the value in the proper field. As it now stands, the user is told, "Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression..." How can I get something like:
SELECT [BookBeltInfo].[BookPrice]
FROM [BookBeltInfo]
WHERE [BookBeltInfo].[Soc Sec] = Forms![Apprentice Information]![Soc Sec #]
to display directly so that the user can edit the field through the control in the form?
