Hi, I'm new here also. I'm afraid I can't help with your question, but I have 2 questions of my own.
1) how do you start a new thread (as you have done?)
2) in my database I have thousands of contacts. How can I add an alphabetical index tab along the right edge such as in Outlook for one-click access to different parts of the database?
I am using group options and they store a number instead of the vaules you typed in, is there anyway of making a group option that will store values and not numbers?
first time poster, please be kind. I am currently updating our supply stores database in work. When an item becomes unserviceable we need to attach a form to the item before sending it away. i would like the data entered into the 'unserviceable' table within my database to be transposed onto an excel spreadsheet (see attachment) and then automatically printed out with the data in the relevant boxes. Can anyone tell me how this is done please? My knowledge of access is rather limited and I am teaching myself as I go along.
I have a form which is associated with a table. When I put some values in the fields which are connected to the database and try to close the form, it gives me an error that "Can't insert record the primary key might be duplicated"...! and then it closes.
Does the form store a record in the table while closing??
If so is there a way to prevent it?? Please reply..
Does access have WITH subquery, For example creating a variable that stores a whole subquery such as:
Code: WITH variableTEST (a, b, c, d, e) as (SELECT a1, a2, a3, max(ab), count(*) as nbids FROM A x natural join B y WHERE x.something > y.something GROUP by a1, a2, a3)
WITH variableTWO (f, g, h, i, j, k, j) as (SELECT A.bidder, W.a, W.b, W.c, W.d, W.e, A.something FROM variableTEST W natural join B A WHERE W.sprice = B.bidprice)
SELECT h FROM variableTWO WHERE now - j <7
Can it do something like this, if not what alternative do they have to do something similar? Using WITH and subquery and variable, and storing variables and then later use it again in another subquery, can it do something like this in access SQL?
Hi, im after a option group that stores multiple values, the only way, long winded as it will be is to create a table with all the values then have tickboxes for all of them.
I am trying to count how many plans a retail chain has over its stores.
So WeekNo | StoreNo | Product |PlanNo 1 | 10001 | Dog | A 1 | 10001 | Cat | B 1 | 20008 | Dog | B 1 | 30005 | Dog | B
Query/report to show Product | PlanNo A | PlanNo B Dog | 1 | 2 Cat | 0 | 1
Numbers in Query/report are a count of Stores selling the product
One of the issues is that the data is duplicated over the weeks, I'm thinking to use max on week number so It only looks at the last available data. And how to write the query.
Currently I'm doing this PlanA: Sum(IIf([PlanNo]="A",1,0) PlanB: Sum(IIf([PlanNo]="B",1,0) . . .
But it looks at the whole of the table for all the weeks...
Hi All, I hope someone can help with this, I have 2 tables, 1 main table that holds all my part data ( ie part num, description, etc) and a second table with vendor info. On my Form I have all my fields that display the record. I placed a combo box on my form that I need the user to be able to select a vendor, which is working but I need the form to show the vendors part number in a field. The main table has a manufactures part number, and I have 3 fields that have my 3 vendors part numbers for that part in it. I have the combo box so that it shows the vendor name but how do I get it to look at a certain field for the vendor part number. Im still really new to Access and am clueless any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I have not explained this every well so I am attaching a sample of the DB so you can see that I have Thanks again
What is going on, when I have a text field in a form and the control source is =[CorFullName]&""&[name] and all I get is the ID Number is that assoiciated with the name in the combo box
Properties of the text field Text Field Control Source =" xyz Name"
Properties of the ComboBox ComboBox Row Source SELECT TblCORFullName.ID, TblCORFullName.CORFullName FROM TblCORFullName ORDER BY [CORFullName];
I have a question about for combobox. I have a field from my tables that a text only then I make in the look up property field to become combobox then row "source type is a value list" then,"Allow value list edits, I make it Yes". then in the form its possible for me now to add value list in the combobox. but I want that what ever I input to become a value list, that's all they can select for the value of that field. if they can type or add not listed in the value list I input, it will not possible & there's a msgbox will appear mentioning the "the value you input is not in the list..
I am working on a database project using Access 2010 and encounter some ComboBox text color problem,
The form has a ComboBox that displays the Supplier Name. The Combo's source control is Supplier ID in the Products table which joints the Supplier Table containing the Supplier Name. To display the Supplier Name only, I use a column count of 2 (for VendorID and VendorName) and column width of 0";2" so as to hide the SupplierID.
VBA is used to dynamically change the ForeColor and BackColor (via the Control Property ".ForeColor" etc) of the text in the ComboBox and TextBox. This works well for all TextBoxes and the ComboBoxes with direct data from the Products Table. However, for the ComboBox of VendorName, the BackColor can change but the ForeColor always remains as black. I have tried using the Format query such as "[White];@;[White];@" which works on the TextBox and other ComboBox (with direct field data from table), but the situation remains the same on this ComboBox which uses join-table reference via the VendorID.
Hi I have been searching this forum for 3 hours for a solution, some come close others are pure gobble de gook to me. I have on a form 1 combobox where a name is chosen, from that choice I would like the address, suburb, state etc automatically placed intheir relevant fields. I have tried =DLookUp("[PropertyAddress]","tblProperty","[Property]") in the address textbox which will only bring up the first recod's address from the table, if I change the name in the combobox the address doesn't change. What am I doing wrong, I have designing databases in Access for a total of 7 days now and have been going fairly well with some tips and code snippets from this forum but this has got me stumped.
Hi, I'm new here and I thought I had already posted this but i couldn't find it so I am posting again... sorry if I've posted twice
When I pass a value from MyTextBox to MyComboBox using:
Me.MyTextBox = Me.MyComboBox
It does Not trigger the AfterUpdate Event of the ComboBox
I need it to! Any Suggestions??
I have tried: copy and pasting by but that creates a problem
Me.MyTextBox = BarCodeData$ 'passes the variable value to MyTextBox Me.MyTextBox .SetFocus Me.MyTextBox .SelStart = 0 Me.MyTextBox .SelLength = Len(Me.MyTextBox ) + 1 SendKeys "^c" 'copies the value of of MyTextBox
as soon as I add the below line, it no longer copies the value in MyTextBox Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
The onEnter Event of MyComboBox has the following code that works fine.
If I ran all the code above, all works but the "Copy" and thus anything that may be in the clipboard is pasted into MyComboBox, and the AfterUpDate of MyComboBox triggers.
I know that there are compelling reason NOT to use the SendKeys but I was just trying something
What I'd really like to do is eliminate MyTextBox and pass the Variable directly to MyComboBox:
Me.MyComboBox= BarCodeData$
And have it force the AfterUpdate Event of MyComboBox
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 have a combobox on an unbound form. After making a selection, I click a command button which opens a bound form to a new record. What I need to code next or add into the macro, is for the selection of the combobox to fill in the contact id, and contact name in the correct text boxes.
The combobox row source is: SELECT qryPBS.ConID, qryPBS.PBSName FROM qryPBS; bound column 1.
I have a combobox [CBreason] that reads from a table to show me why someone is gaining access to the building.
One of the options is "Incident".
When incident is selected I want a textbox [TBIncidentNo] and a button[BIncidentDup] control I made to appear.
I thought that the code:
If Me.CBReason.Value = "Incident" Then Me.CBIncidentNo.Visible = True Me.BIncidentDup.Visible = True Else Me.CBIncidentNo.Visible = False Me.BIncidentDup.Visible = False End If
Placed in the after update action of the CBReason box would sufice but it doesnt work
I'm guessing the value is not recognised fro some reason but i cant work out why. There is no error message or issus, it makes the box dissapear when there is no entry but no change for selecting incident.
I a trying to search some product from a search button and two combo boxes text values ,and on serch the vba code is :
Code:
Private Sub Command4_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim varRecords As Variant
[code]...
I just dont know,the fuile is created on click of button but with headers only,dtaa is not coming but wheni debug ,in immediate window,data is oming but just not coming in excel file.
I have a field in a table where it is a lookup is a combo box. So this makes the data type of the field a number when in reality it is a text. When I have this field show in a list box it shows the number instead of the text.
Trying to pull information from a text box on double click to populate a combobox on another form...
keeps coming up "type mismatch"
I call lngAccount as recognised on mouseover... ("Business Account" is the value I want)
I can't get it to work!
For info, the form I'm calling from is a subform located FrmMainMenu/FrmAccountsMainMenu and the control source is [Account]
the form I wish to populate in on FrmTransactions (it is a main form only) and the combobox is cboaccountselect - **I've seen the obvious mistake with no reference to this whatsoever, corrected it, and still not working**
