Store Multiple List Box Selection In Text Box
Jan 11, 2007
I created a button that when pressed concatenates any items selected in a list box and places them in a text box on the form with the format of "itemselected1" or "itemselected2" or "itemselected3"
However, I need to set the criteria in a query to look at this text box and return the results based on that selection. When I do that I get no results even is the query should run fine with that type of format.
Attached is a copy of the Code for the button and the result
Dim txtValue As String
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strlnameselect As String
Dim intCount as Integer
'Cycle through selected rows in listbox
For Each varItem In Me.Queueselect.ItemsSelected
intCount = intCount + 1
Select Case Len(txtValue)
Case 0
txtValue = Chr(34) & Me.Queueselect.ItemData(varItem)
Case Else
txtValue = txtValue & Chr(34) & " Or " & Chr(34) & Me.Queueselect.ItemData(varItem)
End Select
If intCount=Me.Queueselect.ItemsSelected.Count Then
txtValue = txtValue & Chr(34)
End If
Next
'Assign variable value to textbox
Me.Queuetorun.Value = txtValue
End Sub
the result in the text box is
"A" or "B" or "C" or "D"

Hi all,
I was thinking/hoping of using a list box on my form to store multiple values, I haven't been able to find a way of storing any value so far so not sure how easy it will be?
How can this be achieved or is it just easier to use several check boxes (approx 8)
Thanks

I've implemented on a form a Command Button that opens up a dialog box to allow the user to find a photo and once the photo is selected, it stores the location in a text box, (not the photo, just the location). I need to be able to allow multiple photo's to be store in the same text box. That was one of the benefits of using an Attachment data type but based on lots of comments...

A few weeks ago I had a post in which I asked how a user could type in the text value of a list of selections in a list box, and arrive to that selection.
Such as if they type in "A" then "B", it goes to "Abby" rather than "Aaron" then "Ben". It was answered that this was not possible in MS Access with a list box, so after that I basically told the users I would look into it more.
I have finally cleared off my desk and arrived back to this small issue.
I thought of the idea to add a Drop-Down Combo Box to the form. I could use the functionality built into the Drop-Down Box to allow them to type in the person they are looking for in the List. Then click a button labeled "Find" and it would take them to the correct person in the list box. They could then function as before.
I just could not figure out the code to put behind my "Find" button. I am not sure if you can do a "Goto record" against a List Box, or a "Find record" against a list box.
Has anyone run into this issue, and if so, was there a way to work around it?
Thank you,
T.J.

so i have two listboxes that have the values i want for the query parameters. I slightly modified one code i found so that i can query using one of them, however i cannot figure out how to get the second listbox to put criteria into another field. The working code i'm using is:
Private Sub Command_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command_Click
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
For Each varItem In Me.PartyBox.ItemsSelected
strCriteria = strCriteria & "counterparties.counterparty =" & Chr(34) & Me.PartyBox.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & " Or "
Next varItem
strCriteria = Left(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 4)
strSQL = "SELECT counterparties.[Counterparty Entity], Fund.[Fund Name], products.Product, combine.[Available?] " & _
"FROM products INNER JOIN (Fund INNER JOIN (counterparties INNER JOIN combine ON counterparties.[Counterparty ID] = combine.[company id]) ON Fund.[Fund ID] = combine.[fund id]) ON products.[Product ID] = combine.[product id] " & _
"WHERE " & strCriteria
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("1").SQL = strSQL
DoCmd.OpenQuery "1"
Exit_Handler:
Exit Sub
Err_Handler:
If Err.Number = 5 Then
MsgBox "Must Make A Selection First", , "Make A Selection First"
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_Handler
End If
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "combqry"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
Exit_Command_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command_Click
End Sub
I am trying to be able to search by Product and counterparty.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have an MS Access DB, that uses a list box to give users a view of the possible selections to choose among.
It works great, but the database has grown to the point there are nearly 3,000 items in the list box.
I found that if you type in the first letter, it will take you to the first alphabetically in the list with that letter.
So if I type in "A" it takes me to "Aardvark". But even this could use improvement, as typing in the first letter with 3,000+ selections means the users may scroll a few hundred to find what they are looking for.
Is there any code, or property setting that can set it up, so the users can type in the entry and it will narrow it down?
So if they type in "AS" it goes to "Assumption" rather than "Aardvark" then jumps to "Sail" (as it does right now).
Thank you for your help,
T.J. Bernard

Hi! I hate to ask for so much help on this, but I'm lost.
I have a budget database that is used to track equipment for purchase. Many times, the same item (a desk, or chalkboard) is needed for more than one room, so I need to buy more than one. The way my form is set up, I put the detail about the chalkboard in and select the room ID for the room it is going into. The problem with this is that I don't want to have to do it for every single chalkboard location in the college.
So, I want to use a multiple selection list box to add the records all at once. In other words, I want to enter the item detail in my form, and then select all of the rooms that item is going into, and then click OK! and have it create new records for each room that item is going into. So rather than having one new record created (as would be with a combo box), if I have three rooms selected, I want the OK button to add the record to the table three times with a different room number for each record. Any ideas????? Thanks!

I am trying to resolve a problem with selecting multiple records.
I have a table called T_user and bound form called F_user.
This form displays all 3 fields from that table.
When I want to add a new user, I enter a name and select a department.
Some of the users work for few departments, so here is the question:
How to select multiple departments for one user?
The department field in F_user is set to LISTBOX, and the multi select option in properties is set to SIMPLE.
I can select multiple departments, but as we know it won't save in the table, it will leave it as NULL value.
How can I save the record then? In another form I need to select users from specific department, so lets say A.Smith, need to be visible in those few selected ones.
I have seen this [URL] .....
form this post [URL] .......
but unsure how can I make it work on my form.

I'm using Access 2007.
So far I have a Multi Select enabled list on which the user selects the serial numbers they want. They then click the "Report" button which will trigger a query based on the selected serial numbers to create a report on those serial numbers.
I have the code for the multi-select list working already. It creates a string of comma separated values that are the serial numbers which are selected in the list. Somehow I need to pass this string to my query so it can use it as a filter.
Here is some of my code:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim oItem As Variant
Dim bFound As Boolean
[Code] ....
Here's my current query in SQL:
Then finally how to I get the query to execute and create a report based on all of this?

I have a form based on a query.On the form I have 4 comboboxes.The combo boxes filter eachother without a problem (based on custom select query).Now I want after the fourth combobox value is selected, I want to populate a text field with a value from a different column from the master query (after the 4 selections only 1 value should be possible)I try to say this easy.Master query contains 5 columns:
- group
- type
- job
- insurance
- charge
combo1 selects group (and filters records)
combo2 selects type (from remaining records and filters again)
combo3 selects job (from remaining records and filters again)
combo4 selects insurance (from remaining records and filters again)
[code]....
This works great and the dropbox only shows 1 OF EACH DIFFERENT record...If I add a text box and want to see the "charge" value, that I thought I could use the ME.text-code. But in order to do this, I have to add the charge column into the query of Combo4.the dropbox for insurance gives me multiple values that are the same. Is there any way to make this work?

I created a form and created on it a list box which is a query that grabs certain number of fields from different tables. I would like the user to select from this list box of a choice and then store their selection into a table.This list box has three fields, but it needs to store the id rather than the item, the user would see the name of the item but the id of the item would be store into another table, called bid. It store all these three fields when a user selection one of the item from the list.

I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
Sample of the database has been attached.

I have 2 tables one, Contacts, primary key ContactID this table contains names, addresses etc and one group called Form primary key Form ID, foreign Key Contact ID. I want to store the related contact ID in my form but display firstname ad surname from Contaacts list. This works fine when I am selecting name. List box shows 2 columns with correct data but when I recall the form after making other entries it only displays the firstname. The correct ContactID is stored. Why does this happen.
If I can get this working I would like to concatenate the Firstname and surname to make it more readable but don't know where to begin.

I want to use an array to store data from a list box into a variable. I want it to be able to store one value, or multiple values, depending on what is selected.
Main problem: this list box feeds off a table which has employee names and their e-mails. The list box itself only shows the names, and when I select what I want the array to store is their e-mails, not their names.
Code:
Dim strNames As String
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim intCount As Integer
For Each varItem In Me.lstNames.ItemsSelected
intCount = intCount + 1
Select Case Len(strNames)
[Code] ....
That code successfully displays the item I selected, but only displays the name. I need to make it look in the table and get me column #2. I also want it to be able to select more than one item at a time.

I'm creating an Access data entry form for computer installations.
Basically the entry form will choose a software and license, then select one or more computers to install the software on.
Then later we can create a report that can track what softwares are installed on the computers, or track what computers has what softwares.
Now my question is for each record of the installation entry form, after we select the software, then we will choose a computer name or more computer names.
If just one computer is easy, but how can I choose multiple computers, which control should I use? and how can I store the computer name list in the installation table, do I have to make each computer installation a record in the table or put multiple computer names in one record in the field like memo, but if I use memo, later it seems i cannot group or search memo field?
Can anyone give me some ideas about what is an easy design solution or samples about these?
Thanks a lot

I will have around 10 simultaneous users of a database. Each will probably keep it open all day and subject it to fairly light use.
I will split it into front and back ends, the be going into a network folder.
Where would you recommend I put the fe?
Should I put one fe in the same folder and let them all use it at the same time? I presume that would be faster than giving them all a copy of the front end to use on their local hard drives?
I have considered adding the facility on the fe to allow user-definable defaults, like the user's name, to speed things up for them but i assume that will only work if they each have their own fe and not sure if it's worth the hassle if it's faster to have one fe in the same network folder as the back end.

I have a DB where you there's 5 tables all linked together by one project ID
tables below
Project , Staff, Asset, allowances, travel, mark up
What I can do is create a new project, then add records to each of the other tables on what different items I require,
i.e. I create a new project - called project one, in the project table I create a record stating, name, time scale, client and location, then I add different records to each of the other tables on what I require all linked to the same project ID. (probably not explained that too well)
Now I want to create a query that lists all the requirements one after the other this will make it easier to create reports and to calculate costing's.
At the moment I have made 5 different queries listing all the data, then have one report containing 5 sub reports to display the data, no this does work.

I was wondering if there is a way I can store a formatted text in a field in Ms Access. I know memo type can contain a very big string upto approximately 65k but formatting is not possible in that type. Regarding the OLE object, I am not sure if I have to create a word document and then store it as a OLE object or is there a way to do that without creating the word doc.?
I do not want to create a word document for each record in the table. Is there a better way?
Please advise. Thanks

Hi,
As a part of reducing traffic on file server, I am planning to read less record on the form and hence I tried removing forms record source. (Attached sample db)
I kept all unbound textboxes onto the forms and save new record to the table using codes back of the command button. This is working great with main form. But doesn’t with sub form. I tried removing record source of sub form and keeping unbound text boxes to appear record if it exists.
If you enter 1 in InvNum text box on main form, you will find it brings record. I don’t want to show the record on the sub form unless I call it from main form.
How can I use the same trick of unbound text boxes with sub form too?
Please extend your help.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

I have a user input form with a text box that stores a number. When the user inputs the number, I'd like it to display the comma separator (e.g. "1234" becomes "1,234". I've tried putting "#,###" and "#,##0." into the format property of the text box, but I still get 1234.

I am new to Access(and self taught) so bear this in mind when you view my DB. (Any suggestions are appreciated)I am using Access 2003.
I have included a sample DB. What I need this to do is when you use the Fill Selection Form You can choose mulitple selection in the list box. When you click Done those you selected will show up in the right hand side subform where you can add quantities. I want this info to be stored as one "Fill". It would also be nice if while you are selecting in the list box a calculated field shows you the total weight you have chosen.
Can anyone help???? :confused:

So I have a list box on a form from which users can select which fields to display in a query... There is a default set of fields to display, which at the moment is hardcoded in the associated VBA (far from ideal). I was wandering if there is a specific way to open a list box with a number of values selected by default?
Many thanks in advance,
Bogzla
