I am trying to get a combobox to appear in a querie. I created a querie and a form with a combobox using the wizard. When I run the form alone it works like it should. However, when I try to run the form from the querie, it does not run the combobox. Instead it runs a little box with what I typed as the criteria in the querie as its label. Make sense?
The syntax I use in the criteria is:
[forms]![formname]![comboxname]
:mad:
Hi all,

Hi
I have a combo box that is used to update a table with string values . I have the opportunity to select values already in the table and also to type new ones. The problems are :
a) If i have many records with the same string value, the combo shows them multiple times and I want them to be shown only once. I've uploaded a jpg from my db, showing the combobox. Do you see ,for example, how many times the "t-shirts" are shown? I only want "t-shirts" to be shown once. And
B) how can I omit these empty lines in the top of the combo? It's probably due to the fact that I have set the line numbers of the combo box to 255. But I don't know how many lines I will need in advance. Is there any chance of auto expanding/adding lines ? Or any other solution?
thanx in advance
Hello people,
I'm not a programmer, I am infact a 17 year old College Student from the United Kingdom - Studying ICT!
For my major project I have to design, build and test a camera loans system for my photography department. Except, I am having problems with Combo box lookups. It's been over 6 months since I learnt this, and it's all a blank. Something as simple as this is simply not working...
e.g. in the Studentloans table, I wish to enter the Student ID number from the student ID card inside the combo box, and hit enter so that it brings up the relevant specific loans of that student.
I enter the id, hit enter and the student name, class etc does not change. Why? The same goes for my Camera Maintenance Table, Camera + Maintenance tables are combined to a CAMERAMAINTENANCE TABLE - Therefore I wish to enter the Camera ID number so that if i hit enter, it brings up the relevant service histories of that specific camera...
The relationships are all ok, the fields for Student ID are lookup, etc.
I don't understand. It's driving me insane. I need help with this, I'm struggling so much.
Help much appreciated.
Thanks - Neil.
I am building a simple form with a few Combo Boxes, text boxes and a picture. When two out of the three Combo boxes updates a few text boxes, labels but not all and the picture flikers/blink. I do have one other combo box that does not cause anything to flicker once it updates. This is getting annoying and it makes my form look unprofessional I do not have any vba or macros running yet on the form - I have tried different ways to creat the form IE. Form Wizard and Blank Design. I used the Look up wizard for creating the text boxes/ Combo boxes in the database.
The other thing I noticed is that when in design view the same objects blinks when I scroll up or down loger than the other objects.
I did search this site and the web but did not find anything that did not metion VBA code and the Echo on/off.

I have a combo box on my form that passes criteria to a simple select query. There are four possible selections to make from the combo box. For some reason, when I select the first option on the list the query runs perfectly. However, if I select the second, third or fourth option from the combo box, the query returns no records, even though I know there are records in my table which should be returned.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOk I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?
Hi,
I have looked at some of the threads here and it is clear that many of you are working on a much higher level than me and with a high degree of familiarity with the programme.
I am hoping that someone here is able to give me some advice as I don't find the MS help files digestible.
The task I have is to join 2 databases and produce a table from which I can run a mailmerge.
I have managed to join the 2 databases and I used a customer ID as a common link. (my apologies if the terminology is incorrect)
I now have all the data I require in one table.
THE PROBLEMs I have multiple entries for some of my customers and would like to reduce this to single entries (which is understandable). Please tell me how to do this if you can, and keep it as simple as you can please.
In anticipation I thank you very much.
:-)
Hi there,
I'm making a report detailing competitors final finishing positions in a competition.
The columns are (1) Place, (2) Name and (3) Points
I have the data for their names and the points they have scored, but how do I make the table enter the record number (starting at 1) in the first field???
Thanks in advance

Not sure what the issue is here but i am trying to append a Job number from a main database into two connected databases.
The number is a sequential number i have created and the primary key.
It is an autonumber field(obviously). The format is J0000 and the numbers start from J0001
I am using two different append queries to append them into the external databases tables.
However (and here i think lies the problem) the fields i am inserting them into are text fields with the same format J0000.
When i view the numbers in these tables, they are displayed as J1 or J9. The 0's are missing.
Any ideas.
Thank you in advance
Hey guys, I'm just wondering how I could limit a field to using from 2 - 20 letters. If I placed the letter "a", I'd get an error saying how at least 2 letters must be there, and a maximum of 20. How would I do this?
Lastly, how can I make it so when I enter data into a form, I can click a button which adds it all into the table?
When I do it normally, it's automatically transferred into the table as I type it into the form.
This is incredibly simple I know, but I am a n00b at Access. ^_^
Thanks guys.
OK, I have a strange problem... This doesn't seem to work..... It did... then I made some changes.... Can someone clue me in on what I am doing wrong? A query, simply summing some values in fields... no biggy...... BUT...
The field
TotalHours: ([SundayHours]+[MondayHours]+[TuesdayHours]+[WednesdayHours]+[ThursdayHours]+[FridayHours]+[SaturdayHours])
So why isn't this working?
Can I use a simple VBA statement to sum these fields?
:confused:
hi all, this is my problem:
i got a table like this
ID time in time out working hours
1
1
2
2
the working hours is [timeput]-[timein]
how to i create a query so that all the ID 1' s working hours will be summed up ?
:confused: simple query
Critera : <Date()-30 should show records from the last 30 days ???
and : "status"="active" should show records from the last 30 days that are active ????
or am i totally off the mark here ?
vey new to this be gentle :eek:
cheers
I am trying to create an IN query (ACCESS) which will firstly show the customers table (specific details) then the orders details should be in the IN query, I formulated this but it won't work:
SELECT s.CustomerID, Address, City, PostalCode
FROM Customers s
WHERE
s.OrderID IN
(SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p
WHERE s.OrderDate = '1996')
AND
s.OrderID IN
(SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p
WHERE s.OrderDate = '1997');
Here is the one I did to show the customers and orders who made orders in 1996 and 97:
SELECT Customers.CustomerID AS Customers_CustomerID, Orders.CustomerID AS Orders_CustomerID, Customers.Address, Customers.City, Customers.PostalCode, Orders.OrderID, Orders.OrderDate
FROM Customers INNER JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
WHERE (((Orders.OrderDate) Between #1/1/1996# And #12/31/1997#));
it is probably something simple I am missing here! Sorry to keep asking :(
but I can't seem to figure it out. All I get is Null values when I run the query.
I have a form with a start text box and a end text box. I use the form name sucessfully in the criteria row so I know there is no problem with the form name. I also know there is no problem with the qry name. Does anyone see anything I am doing wrong?!?!
The query I am working in is labeled [qry_old_summary_date_range]. Just wanted to clarify that is not a problem.
1st Pay Increase: IIf([qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase]>=[Forms]![Human Resources]![Start] And [qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase]<=[Forms]![Human Resources]![End],[qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase],Null)
and presumably it's only me who's irgorant.
I have a table with dates of deadlines and another with dates of submissions. For each deadline I want to know who submitted first. I figured that all I had to do was compute the difference between the dates and the select the minimum. However, Access rejects the Min() function in the WHERE clause. How do I avoid this?
Thanks a lot !!
I have a table (imported from excel) that is a pricing grid for blinds. The header row at the top is widths(mm) and the header row down the left is heights(mm). The data is the price. The import process makes the widths the column names.
height 600 800 1200 ...
300 $60 $80 $100
600 $80 $100 $120
900 $120 $140 $160
.
.
all I want to do is to take that table and make it flattened, like this:
height width price
300 600 $60
300 800 $80
300 1200 $100
600 600 $80
600 800 $100
600 1200 $120
900 600 $120
900 800 $140
900 1200 $160
I can't think how to do this in a query - I could take the flat version and create a crosstab to go the other way. Any clues - I don't want to change too much about the way the imported excel file looks becasue I have no control over that (I already discard miscellaneous heading and junk before I import it)
Hope you can help
My Brain has completely lost all of it's gray matter.
I have two tables tbl_Employers and tbl_Services that are linked via a one to many relationship. Each Employer can have Many Services. The field i am useing in the relationship is EmployerID
If I build a simple select query using these tables I will see all of the employers that have a related record in the services table. Any employer could be listed there many times as per the relationship.
What i want is a simple count of how many employers actually have recieved a service.
Why is this so difficult for me to get my head around.
this is my query in design viewhttp://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3095/querytc3.th.gif (http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=querytc3.gif)i use this query when entering datai want to know how i can set it up it display all or any one/two/none of the criteria i put into the question text boxes, number surname and state, or even just number, or just state.anyone?
View 1 Replies View Relatedthis might be a crude roundabout way of doing things
but it works as is, and i'm trying to streamline a little.
i have a database that contains all of my customer's details.
once a month remove those whom no longer want my mailout,
and export the remainder into excel so that my printer can print and stuff envelopes.
i record customers that no longer wish to recieve my mailout, by putting something(anything) in a column that says rts.
what i'm trying to work out is, how in a simple query i can prevent any record that has any value in the rts column from displaying the name/address etc.
if there's a code to say
if anything in rts exists then hide name address state postcode
G'Day:
I am working on a simnple form that has just a few simple calculations in it. One being wieght difference and the other being percentage weight difference.
I get Access to calculate the wieght difference easily, but Ican't then get it to calculate a percentage weight difference (in another cell).
This is what I have down for code.
If Weigh1 <> 0 Then
WeightDiff = Weigh1 - Weigh2
End If
If WeightDiff <> 0 Then
PerWeightLoss = WeightDiff / Weigh1
End If
Any Suggestions?
Thanks
:confused: I have a logon form which works well and authenticates users via a table. The problem is when the form is loaded the user has to click into the text box to type their name. I want a cursor to be flashing in the text box when the form opens so the user can type their name straight away without having to touch the mouse. I have ensured that the tab index for the text box is first however this has not resolved. Is it something to do with focus? If so how to I ensure that the text box has focus on launching the logon form??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a very basic form (frmHalfTab) based on a basic table (tblHalfTab2). The table is uploaded periodically from excel, overwriting the original table. I'm trying to determine the best way to accomplish the following:
I need a query, Dlookup, SQL statement, or something, that will look at the contents of one field (MBRDrug) and populate the following field (MBRDrugAlt) based on what's in the first field. For example, if MBRDrug field has "Pravachol 10MG" in it, I need it to fill in MBRDrugAlt with "Pravachol 20MG". I am hoping to set this up in the form's OnOpen event to occur automatically with no direct user input, as this is what my boss is asking for. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Also, in my failed attempts, I have the original drug and it's suggested alternate in it's own table, tblHalfTab1, if that helps with any suggested solutions. Help?
This has racked my brain. Problem=
The "simple problem" is to create a 2nd subform that alerts the user that a vendor order has already been generated and show a listing of what forms they are. This is determined by field VendorOrderID. So I thought a little something like this would work.
If BidOrdersSubDetail.Form.VenID = VendorOrdersub.Form.VendorOrderID Then
BidOrdersSubDetail.Form.AllowAdditions = False
VendorOrdersub.Form.Visible = True
Else
If BidOrdersSubDetail.Form.VenID = VendorOrdersub.Form.VendorOrderID Then
BidOrdersSubDetail.Form.AllowAdditions = True
VendorOrdersub.Form.Visible = False
End If
End If
:( then came Error 2427 :eek: expression has no value.
Now i have lost the last of my hair to pull and rewrote the code several ways. It will not let me assign a value of 0, I cannot figure the propper use of IIF, true, false, :confused:
any help, the vendor id is not generated untill after the order is created. They can review an order, which is the reason to block additions to the main sub form, and to notify the user that it is complete and what vendors were used. There for there is no value to vendorOrdersId for a new one which is the only identifier I have.
My form has just started to add new records when I use the mouse scroller. Before when I used the scroller it would stop at my last inputted record. Any ideas what I've done to it or how it can be stopped?
