Saving Combo Box Selection To A Table
Oct 4, 2011
I have made a form to enter daily timesheet info for personnel. I have on this form a combo box with different job descriptions, with this info located in a "job description" table. Once all info is entered on this form, I want all info to be entered into my "main time table".
It seemed to be working ok, until I printed out my report based on my main time table. In the area where my job description should be, I don't get the actual wording I had selected from the job description table (using the combo box), only the ID number.steps to have the selected text (from a combo box) saved in the recordset of another table?

Good morning all! I've got three bound combos set to visible = false on their property sheetsThese will remain hidden or will be revealed depending on the selection made in another bound combo cmbType.
The select case below works fine on the form but the selection affects all records not just the current record. Open record 1 and select "compliment" from the first combo - the three others correctly stay hidden. Move to record 2 and select complaint and the combos appear - Great! Move back to record 1 and they're showing there as well. Groan. Helllllppp!
Private Sub cmbType_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Select Case cmbType.Value
Case "Complaint"
cmb2Day.Visible = True
cmb15Day.Visible = True
cmbOver15.Visible = True
Case "Compliment"
cmb2Day.Visible = False
cmb15Day.Visible = False
cmbOver15.Visible = False
Case "Suggestion"
cmb2Day.Visible = False
cmb15Day.Visible = False
cmbOver15.Visible = False
End Select
End Sub

I have created a combo box with the values I need from a table. Once I select the correct record from the drop down box I'd like to be able to open the table with just that one record being displayed. Thanks for your help.

I am a novice to Access and in order to get some training in my workplace I need to show how access can be applied to my role.
I have a table of information consisting of 3 fields:
Motor manufacturer
Model
Attachment (picture of particular car)
I want to have someone able to select the manufacturer and Model from Combo boxes and this will pull up the image associated with this model.
There are more than 1 model for each Motor manufacturer so you may have:
manufacturer Model
Ford Fiesta
Ford Mondeo
VW Beetle
VW Golf
Fiat 500
You must not be able to select the wrong model for manufacturer, i.e.
Ford 500
The images are currently saved onto the table as an attachment,
This may be wrong as well,
This may be a simple task to do, but hopefully I can get it running smoothly and show this is the right tool for the job.

I am trying to write a query that gets all the telephone hours from a worker done under supervision in a town (qry_svhoursbytown). I have a table that has the workers details, including town (Crisis_support_workers), then another table that has what hours each worker has done (Supervision_Hours). The town is selected from a combo box on the form (frmSearch), under the heading �total hours by location�.
I try and select Bathurst then press recalculate results and in the text box next to supervision hours, it says 66, but if you look in the Supervision_Hours table, there is only 11 hours for the workers that are in Bathurst.
In the query, I have the sum total of the hours field in the Supervision_Hours table, the Town field from the Crisis_support_workers table with the total selected as Where and in that criteria I have [forms]![frmSearch]![ComboTown], then I just have the town field displayed.
What do I need to change to get it to sum correctly?
I have attached the database below so people can take a look.

I have a form frmCrisisSupportWorkers with a tab control on the form. On the first tab, Personal Info there is a combo box called cboLocation. It is next to the Town/City.
I have a text box that updates the postcode after the selection is made below it but that is as the post codes are stored in the combo box and I just put the column for the postcode in the control source of the text box.
I can't do that for state as I have it stored in another table and use a numeric identifier to show which state is selected.
I want to have a text box below that auto updates the state once a town is selected but I can't seem to get it working.

I have a table called Auction, it has three fields, seller, iid, and start_time.
I made a combo box on a forum and in the I have a query,
My question is, I have a few combo box, can I have a user select a seller, but it will automatically populate in the same row, the iid and start_time for this seller?
How do I do this, I can't have separate combo box and have user select for each seller, iid and start time because it wouldn't match it to that seller on the same row.

I have a Table (tblFPAData) that is being populated with entries from a form I created. There are several fields but if I can get an answer for one relationship then I can repeat it for the others.
In tblFPAData there are the fields MaterialNo and Description.
I am creating another table called tblSchedule and using a form to enter the information. I need the user to select the MaterialNo from a combo (cmbMaterialNo) and the then table auto populates the Description from tblFPAData.

Hi everyone,
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
Thanks

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'm trying to get one combo box control what tables are available from another combo box. Example, combo box (a) includes numbers 1-5. Selecting (1) makes the data in combo box (b) specific to that selection. Selecting (2) makes the data in combo box (b) something different (pulls data from a different table).
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Hi all,
I had a small problem with combo box . Is there any way to store the previous value of the combo box. Last time Pat showed me a way to collect the value by .oldvalue property of the combo box and it worked fine. But it working only for saved record and one time only. If I choose different value one more time without saving the record, the .oldvalue is not changing..Is there any way to make this happen. I am attaching a sample db with this. If someone can clear this please update the db or show me the code to do that.....
Thanks in advance
Thanks

I have a form with a number of combo boxes to select criteria in order to narrow down a list. A selection in any combo box should narrow your options in the other combo boxes.
For example:
Combo 1 is a list of all the states
Combo 2 is a list of all the cities
Selecting NY in combo 1 will change the list in combo 2 so that it only shows cities in NY
Or, selecting Rochester in combo 2 first will edit the list for combo 1 to show only states that have a city named Rochester
The point in me doing this is to be able to narrow down a list of over 230000 different but similar items by varying criteria in order to track inventory and value.
Scrolling through the whole list, typing criteria in manually each time and building new queries and reports every time I need to find something specific are not options.
I just need the combo boxes in a form to set the criteria to filter out the list in real time. Each selection made needs to narrow your options for the next selection.

I have a form that I need to use to add new clients to a table in my database, lets call it tblClients. On this form I have a combo box which, when selected, will drop down with the first and last names of all clients in tblClients, as well as their Client ID. Once you select a client from the drop down menu, it populates all of the fields in the form with that clients info (Client ID, fname, lname, address, phone number, etc. etc.).
I need two other things on this form: one button that will save or modify whatever current record is currently pulled up, and one button that will start the process for entering a new client, so basically it would blank out all of the fields and fill the Client ID field with the current number +1.
As of right now I have the form made and the combo box works, in that I have 3 dummy clients in the tblClients and when I select each client from the combo box it will populate the fields on the form with the info. I'm using some simple VBA on the combo box such as
Me.FirstName = Me.cboBox.Column(1)
and that seems to all work, but the problem is trying to save/modify data to tblClients. The only record in the actual table that gets modified seems to be the first record. For example, if I pull up client with ID #3 and change his address or phone number, what happens when I click to save the changes it takes client ID #3 record, overrides it with client ID #1, and then client ID #3 is the same as client ID #1 except with the old information. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.

I have a form with 4 text boxes that are populated from a query with an unbound cbo box to make the choice from. There are two fields that show on the dropdown, "Customer" and "New Product Name". I created it all with wizards. Most of the Customers have only one product name but some have several. If I choose a customer that has several products, it always selects the customer with the first product it finds. How can I get it to select the Customer by product? I have looked and seen what looked like what I needed on this forum, but I couldn't make it work. I am not good a VB. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.

I have had some help on this previously but its not working the way i wanted.
I have a form called plan distribution which holds a record of all people who need a copy of a certain plan. There are several hundred contacts held in the database and i want to make this as easy as possible to choose the right ones.
To do this i want to have 3 combo boxes. One each for company, department and contact.
On the plan distribution form i want the user to select which company they want. The department combo box will then automatically show all departments within that company.
Once the user selects the department, the final combo box will hold all contacts within that department.
I have tried several ways of doing this but cant find one that works!
HELP!

As you have read in my other posts I am creating a Rental database. Now I need to show ages in this database and the certificates they have on films. I have 2 problems
1) I have two fields one called date of birth and one called Age. I am wondering if I enter there date of birth, can I make the age appear automatically.
2) Also when im adding more films to my database I want one combo box saying with the options DVD/VHS/GAME and then the other saying the age certificates because Game and DVD certificates are different so I was wondering if the first combo box makes the other combo boxs options

Hello,
I have Customers recorded and a number of addresses associated with each customer.
They are in two tables linked by CustomerID and are shown in forms as frmCustomers & subfrmCustomerAddresses.
From frmCustomers, I open another form which records the orders maid by that customer. What I would like on this form is to select the customer address to be used for the order.
I can build a combo, but this shows all addresses on the database. What I would like for the combo to show only the addresses for that customer only.
I do not want two combos, one which selects the customer and then another which shows the addresses. This is not very user friendly to ask for the customer again. I would like one combo to show addresses for the customer on the form.
I would be grateful for any guidance on how I can achieve this.
Thank you.

I have a Main Form
Main Form [Event],[Category],[Judge Name]
The Main Form also has a subforms
Sub1[Event],[Category],[Judge Name],[Score],[Comments]
On the main form I have a combo box that is set to retrieve records that meet the combo selection. and thus the subform is related to display the corresponding records.
In my selection combo box I see all of the various selections as follows
[Judge Name],[Category],[Event]
and it is bound to the judges name
Problem Example:
Pull Down Values
1.[Sherry],[Fitness],[Mrs. Canada]
2.[Sherry],[Swim Suit],[Mrs. Canada]
In the above when i pull down the combo box to select and I select the first example above all is wonderful ; however if i want to select the second row the [Category] and [Event] Do not change and the information i input into the subform ends up being associated to the wrong category.
How do i bind a combo box to more than one [field] on the form
I have over 50 hours into this DB to this point and this is critical.
